Helping Hand

I think I need a helping hand to pull me up

Cause I’m feeling down

There’s so much in this life

I just don’t understand

Am I too lost to ever be found

Hiding in the background

Is it all about to come undone

Backside of history n what’s out front

The trail left behind blows my mind

Losing track n that’s a fact

So yeah this is a shout-out

Yeah I need help to find what’s lost

Don’t have the cash but forget the cost

I can’t keep track so gimme a tab

And if you believe like I do

I’ll trade it for a song 😬

(Rap intro)

I’m done with doing this alone

Trying too hard with the digitized

It’s been such a wild wild ride

It’s like my brain’s been freeze dried

Tryna get organised but my mind

Gets pulled either side

Yeah it’s impossible to focus

When the goal post’s a ghost

Gingerbread men n multi-host

Stretched from coast to coast

Tryna find a snippet to post

So everyone can look at me

Yeah look at me

But I’m not here to boast

Like I got the most

Or to become pot roast

So gimme a sound engineer

Or someone with good ears

A technician to fix my gear

A couple of fans n real cheers

Yeah I want the world to hear

What’s been up in the last ten years

Cause running from the money

Means I’m running outta time

As for the media it’s a rainbow mess

Scribbles n graffitia

Ain’t my best feature

I guess I’m just a kid at heart

Too short to reach ya…

Yeah I’m through with them rabbit holes

Sorting files n folders

They’re just trap door spiders

Gimme the best and I’ll do the rest

A producer too cause that’s the glue

Gimme a brand I earned that badge

And I reckon loyalty deserves royalties

So pretty please sponsor me

So I can sail that ship

I’ll dish it out loud n make em proud

Technics, Native Instruments

Traktor n Hello Kitty

Honda you shared my chords

Converse walked me through the blue

(JDRF I’m right behind ya)

And while we’re at it a manager too

Of course I’m gonna need a lawyer

Yeah that’s a no-brainer

And everything in between

Bring it on

So I can write the next song…

(Verse)

All I want is perfection but all I get is rejection of what I’m projecting

It feels like regression a three-dimensional lesson served up as a lemon

Back in the day there’s no way you’d win the lot without the zing

And not without that invisible thing laced into diamond wings

Now it’s big lips n counterfeit manuscripts

I’m living proof of disparity all I want is clarity but can’t even score charity

Yeah I’m tired of singularity I need a team to marry me

I’d wear that king bling on my finger forever but where are ya?

I can’t even score one click not even a wet-faced dog lick

As for all the fake shit yeah the tik tok soft dick mimicking

Always torn between the mystic munching at the bit like a misfit

What’s the world gonna make of this hissy fit splattered over zero fans

Startn to feel like I got my talent from the bottom of a cereal packet

A tweety bird slammed into defeat rockn centre court without a racquet

Been doing this such a long time it’s a crime of misaligned

Is anyone out there or are you too blind is it that friggn hard to find

Stopped point blank guitar in the corner with guts hanging out

Lookn around at the silent sounds of the bomb I left behind

Yeah it’s a long way spinning to the top down from the mess I’m in

Tryna sing the be bop with a sound so unprofessional…

Here’s to the records never produced that could’ve untied the noose

I’m so sorry mum I couldn’t save you from a million miles away

I wanted to be your saviour yeah this was gonna save ya…

A Million Miles Away

To my beautiful Mum…Sorry you never got to hear this song. I know you’re with me everywhere I go, the star in my sky 😦

Verse 1 

This distance between us is taking its toll on me

The top of the mountain is shadowed by the rising sea

On days like these I wanna take the next flight home

Cause when I can’t get through to you 

I’m left wondering if you’re ok

Chorus

You’re a Million Miles Away

But I think about you every day

If I could just find a way 

I’d do everything I can 

To bring us back to yesterday

But now it’s too late

A Million Miles Away

Verse 2

Existence can seem unjust when we struggle to be free 

The ink of the fountain is whispering to destiny

On nights like these when you don’t answer the phone

Reminds me when you couldn’t get through to me

And I left you wondering if I’m ok

Chorus

You’re a Million Miles Away

But I think about you every day

If I could just find a way 

I’d do everything I can 

To bring us back to yesterday

But now it’s too late

A Million Miles Away

Bridge?

Why do some people suffer in silence 

While others get to live a life of kings n queens

I wanted be the star in your sky the one you could rely on 

But now it’s too late…

Chorus

You’re a Million Miles Away

But I think about you every day

If I could just find a way 

I’d do everything I can 

To bring us back to yesterday

But now it’s too late

A Million Miles Away

Kissin Love Goodbye

I found this in my Drafts folder, so it’s not a new rap, a couple of years old actually…but I’ve given it some love and a tweak and now it’s posted!

Why you gotta move so slow like a silent Romeo

Why you gotta be incognito

Got me spitting in the gutter while the demon spins his flutter

There’s blood on my frown dripping on the ground

And it’s got me lookn like a cherry vodka clown

Yeah our rainbow’s down

That’s why I’m sucking back the sigh

And Kissin Love Goodbye

Why you gotta leave me all alone hanging on the phone

Why you gotta be Mr Houdini

Empty ice-cream cone choking on a bone

Still at home chained to your zone

Fallen for a heart of stone

You never let me in, never let me win

Tossed my heart in the bin

Left me to die swooped by em flies

Oh why did you lie why can’t you cry

That’s why i’m suckin back the sigh n

Kissin Love Goodbye

Gonna need a punchin bag a place to leave my tag

A pair of boxin gloves splattered with our love

There’s gonna be a hurricane screamin out your name

A thunderin rain danglin from my chain

Nowhere train you left ya stain

A chilblain kinda grain embedded in my brain

It comes it goes it flows it stows

It calls it falls it stalls it mauls

Takes the stake n aches as it breaks

That’s why i’m suckin back the sigh n

Kissin Love Goodbye

Gravity oh let me be n set me free

I’ll sleep at your feet drownin in sleet

Our love in a heap lost in the deep

We meet we leap we hit repeat

We start we stop we’re cold we’re not

Yeah what we got we now forgot

Heart clawed n dragged across the floor

Trail of gore flaggin awe

Now watch me walkin out the door

Cause i’m suckin back the sigh n

Kissin Love Goodbye

Didn’t ask for much just a simple sign

A white chalk line drawn across my mind

Somewhere to find a map to rewind

The way back in just feels like sin

When all I taste is the bin of sour gin

Flowers cowered n flattenened down

Smoke lost it’s power risin up his tower

Bells ring n echoin sun

Cracked his gun n powdered with shun

Honey on the run a bee stung nun

Tryna sculpt the pun into some kinda fun

Grapplin what’s done with the weight of a tun

Gonna watch the water fallin as he’s callin

Oh yeah i’m suckin back the sigh n

Kissin Love Goodbye

Staying wont escape the pain

Cause you’re nothin without reelin in a feelin

So bomb the balloon n let it go

Lookin up it floats away slow

Lookin down there’s nowhere left to go

Yeah love is just a lonely fuckn game

If you wanna make a livin from them bubblegum lyrics

Turn letters into cash as if it aint enough

Crack the mirror with fortified slash

Cause a voice without the crowd

It’s like hash without the crash

Bangers without the mash fangs without a gash

A fuck without the muck

A one without a two pink without the blue

A me without a you

But wait…

There’s still some more so let me scrape it from the floor

Give it to you raw slap your face n drop your jaw

Spike you with my claw until we win the war

I promise not to bore ya just ignore ya

The same way that you broke me I will work ya

Like a line of coke I’ll stoke ya til I choke ya

Leave you with a flavor to remember

And just when you think you’re in like you’re gonna win

I’ll pull the plug n let it linger

Yeah just before you come i’m gonna run

Then you’ll know how it feels to be on ya knees

A fool chasin love led on n left undone

Cause I know I’m not your number one

That’s why I’m suckin back the sigh n

Kissin Love Goodbye

Bubblegum

What’s it gonna take to seal the deal
With songs that spell exactly how I feel
Done it tough but it’s not enough
Told it true n dodged the bluff
Makes me wanna huff n puff
When will the tables turn
From a slow burn outta the urn
Into the hands of the big guns
I guess they want the bubble gum
That’s what pays the biggest sum
Painted their sky with my blood
Streaks of rainbow colour
Still heaven won’t open it’s door
Going around in circles
Now I’m back at the start
Tangled in my own heart

Teddy Bear

Wrote this a couple of years ago….

I’m so fuckn tired of telephone ringtones

Files, screens n copier machines

Listenin to people moan n groan

Bout unpaid loans n broken bones

They’re drowning out the saxophones

Should be mixing up a storm

Belting out tunes in my headphones

Instead I gotta guillotine shreddin up my dreams

Keep waitin for God to intervene

But he’s nowhere to be seen

Gonna need a double shot of caffeine

Just to escape being trapped behind bars

On the freeway behind a thousand cars

Fluorescent glare you’re stippin me bare

I’m pulling out my hair

Mr Lectar knife n forkin at my brain

Feel like i’m fallin down sliced by a train

Off track my head hurts

Where’s the Dr where’s the nurse

Hot in here it’s gettin worse

All I got is an empty purse

A voodoo doll stuffed with curse

Love in a locker it’s fuckn torture

Time for dummy spittin n teeth grittin

While all the good stuff’s still unwritten

Flittin around twice bitten

I want my bed I want my home

I want my fuckn Teddy Bear

Godskitchen

Is this the part where it ends like we hit a road block 

With ya glock pressed harder than rock against my tik tok              

Atomic clock if you wanna play cop then come n cardiac arrest

Ya bulletproof vest but I guess that you don’t wanna invest

Instead you wanna rip-it-up n send it back-to-black self-addressed

My mind keeps driftin to the outside into our lemon-zested courtyard

Bombarded by ya playin cards face down why won’t you turn em around

Though you never drop your guard I’m hardwired tryna impress ya

While I second guess ya

Moved too damn fast never saw the stop sign maybe cause I’m colour blind

Lamborghini hurricaned past at top speed cruisin with the green light

Over-sighted amber red to arrowhead couldn’t stop so raced ahead

Crossed the intersection now I’m wrapped around ya tree-trunk

Why this constant interruption’s causin corruption from your lack of action

Maybe you gotta friend over-lookin over-seeing as you ditch me

While all the time I’ve been tryna find the rhymes to spill between your lines

It’s like you never hear my chimes so I guess I’ll never get my time 

Feels like I’m doin time waitin like a patient in the emergency section 

Reserved parkin bay for the broken-hearted

Hands up shackled to the moon then back again to Armstrong

Cashed up-to-the-till with dollar bills I beg I ask the universe

When you gonna answer me acknowledge me give in & lift the frock from me

Instead the waves are crashin down n all around

Cyclonic ocean breakin at the round-about seepin into lips that pout

I’m just a seed tryna sprout thorough the over-walked pavin grout

Got this gift that’s siftin out n disappearin cause you ain’t hearin my addiction

To the friction of this telepathetic connection seepin outta Godskitchen

I’m just a crucifixion playin out like a broken record in need of resurrection

I guess this is the part where it ends where we hit a road block

With ya glock pressed harder than rock against my tik tok

Oh-Cherry-Oh

Wrote this one a couple of years ago, have a melody but haven’t made into a song yet!

First Draft…

V1

It’s not about religion

The spelling of Judaism or Buddhism

Fascism racism or baptism

A tear or cry in sanity

Fly-baited lies on panoramic television

Breaking tides n rolling back a hellish vision

It’s not about black or white slack or tight

Straight or gay a mocking jay

A fear we’ll die on judgement day

The cutting of the entree

Adhering to their claustrophobic atmosphere

What about never losing sight & putting up a fight

Like Sia & her chandelier catching fire

Breaking down the doors into left or right

Stepping outta the ego into a world-of-vision

Saying cheerio to poverty

Freeing spirits lost to immorality

Letting in immortality

An empty gun, a sprinkling from the sun

Chorus

Oh-Cherry-Oh we got the gung-ho

Where love resides n hearts they strive

Oh-Cherry-Oh let’s give em the akimbo

Where love presides n hearts they drive

Oh-Cherry-Oh we got the bakin dough

Where love combines n hearts collide

Oh-Cherry-Oh let’s give em the seeds to sow

Where love resides n hearts decide

V2

It’s not about the car you drive at twenty-five

The horsepower of your Zenvo

Who’s got the biggest Gyro

Whether you move too fast or kinda slow

Or the money you blow-for-the-show

Those pimps n biatches

Shadows hiding in the tempo

Moscodians warding off comedians

A book-of-faith coded into idiom

There’s still time to rip those goggles off

Step up into a rocket-blasting Van Gough

Ed shearin back those teenage wolves

Till flowers bloom outta shopping aisles

And right about now our souls are out

So lets be the biggest-selling show in town

Yeah it’s time for the take-down

So spit away the hate before it’s too late

Cause it’s time to make a fuckn sound

Chorus

Oh-Cherry-Oh we got the gung-ho

Where love resides n hearts they strive

Oh-Cherry-Oh let’s give em the akimbo

Where love presides n hearts they drive

Oh-Cherry-Oh we got the bakin dough

Where love combines n hearts collide

Oh-Cherry-Oh let’s give em the seeds to sow

Where love resides n hearts decide

RED

V1

When did cruel become the new kind
Back when love crossed the line
Maybe it’s better that we can’t read minds
Who knows what we might find
I always say too much that I can’t rewind
Are we running outta time to turn it around
Or are we standing at the edge of the end
Should we leave it all behind
What’s it gonna take
Shattered glass, slammed doors
Or something more oh no
It’ll never come to that instead
I’ll be gone before the dawn


Chorus

Oh my love…why am I so downhearted
Like you’re already gone
And I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…it’s like I’ve been discarded
Is there something that you’re hiding
I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…your heart is so damn guarded
Take me back to where we started
Back to Red from blue, Back to Red from blue


V2

When did the our stars misalign
Back when love was colour blind
Baby what happened who turned the signs
Or did I inject the divine with cyanide
I always beat myself up ’til I’m redesigned
Are we running outta time to turn it around
Or are we staring down the barrel of a gun
Wondering around this empty town
What’s it gonna take
Shattered glass, slammed doors
Or something more oh no
It’ll never come to that instead
I’ll be gone before the dawn


Chorus

Oh my love…why am I so downhearted
Like you’re already gone
And I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…it’s like I’ve been discarded
Is there something that you’re hiding
I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…your heart is so damn guarded
Take me back to where we started
Back to Red from blue, Back to Red from blue

Back to Red from blue

Running From the Money

V1

They say you can only pull out what you put in

But we give n give it up for all the wrong things

I say we quit the glitch n live the dream

Souls on fire playing in a candy stream

It won’t take a mathematician to figure this out

You’re one of a kind all you gotta do visualize the prize

Pre-Chorus

So stop tripping on that treadmill going uphill

It’s 3am in Nashville and we’re right on time

CHORUS

I’m so sorry honey but I’m Running From the Money

Cause I’m an all or nothing kinda girl

So if you wanna be my lover then follow my desire

I’m so sorry honey but I’m Running From the Money

Cause I’m tired of living this lie

I’m gonna spread my wings and fly

I’m so sorry honey but I’m Running from the Money

And cashing in the dollars of my vibe

It’s what I’ve gotta do to survive

(That’s why I’m Running from the Money)

V2

They say you’ve gotta be young if you’re gonna win

Wearing bling on bling can’t fool us with fake things

I say we quit the glitch n live the dream

Our goal’s up in the air so let’s make it something unforgettable

It might take a little magic blooming flowers from a hat

But just like a samurai you’ll be the wizard of your mind

Pre-Chorus

So stop tripping on that treadmill going uphill

It’s 3am in Nashville and we’re right on time

CHORUS (x2)

I’m so sorry honey but I’m Running From the Money

Cause I’m an all or nothing kinda girl

And if we’re not doing what we love we might as well die

I’m so sorry honey but I’m Running From the Money

Cause I’m tired of living this lie

I’m gonna spread my wings and fly

I’m so sorry honey but I’m Running from the Money

And cashing in the dollars of my vibe

It’s what I’ve gotta do to survive

(That’s why I’m Running from the Money)
