LIGHT OF DAY

I’m out here trying to paint stuff Art every day it’s all straight love Dark in the face plus Certain man wanna tar me with the same brush Lighten the place up It’s all good if you wanna make claims up But I won’t be marginalised When I wrote every line on that paper Nurture my talents Raise my spirit level keep balanced My inner rebel needs challenges Slip through the gates of the palace Looking that guard in the face One hand on my ballsack laughing away Cause ain’t nothing changed bout monarchy Straight up colony A lot of our past ain’t great But I like having women on bank notes Nothing is beating the strength of a mother Takes two to tango and I’ve danced round the Truth for that dollar been in the squalor Been in a bit of the horror Given me reason to holla Try if you wanna, never will I have a collar I take the lead don’t bother Find me in a room full of thinkers Social smoking anti socially drinking Grabbing Life by the pincers Shit's all good to a person of interest But somethings in my life have Really got me thinking I’m thinking maybe in a second I should roll So I walk like hawk eyed surgeon Blade for a brain in city that’s dirt grey See Kentucky Chicken eat person See a kiddy eat grease for her birthday See a mum with pram struggle up steps Ten men walk past no helping Bumped baby becoming upset Mum with a anger well held in Look big Pimp Daddy vapes on the corner Look big Pimp drinks strawberry Evian Look big Pimp Daddy misses his daughter Big Pimp has a porsche called Kelly Anne And the city does twist and belly dance City does deal grief with a steady gaze You stand in it tall and elegant You make light from it all anyways Make light when the dawn comes grizzly One pound for a bowl of banana Two eyes but we don’t see diddly Self love is the ultimate answer For the dark comes thick and fast dunnit Love comes with a dicky heart dunnit One pound one grand one punnet of plums It dunt matter you’re a fabularse fuckwit Whether Mazda Peugeot or Vauxhall Flatcap furcoat or mothball Torah Koran or Gospel We are nutbags all of us oddballs And it’s all to play for sunny Not one of us here has a bloody clue You go make your money Just Make sure the light don’t fall Out of love with you It’s all in my head now Life playing with my sense now Just waiting for the light of day Waiting for the light of day, yay I spend my whole life waiting For the types of ways To get my whole mind searching For the light of day but it fills my brain It throws me away Broken bottles and ashtrays Think my demons coming of age I was not privy to the preview But I think this living is staged I still read the news in the dailies Still dey carry bags for old ladies But I went banana's and lost my Manners way back in the 80's Hope is a drug, lovers and thugs Taking a dose in the veins Light at the end of the tunnel Oh abeg I hope e no be train Chale I dey for my corner Selling my 2 cents for a quarter Trying to feng shui my life in order Get a new visa cross border Hello to the Big Ben Immigrant dreams ambition on ten Naira, Cedis, Pounds and yen Cause chale broke ain't got no friends Take out your purses in churches You know salvation for purchase Screaming hosanna hallelujah Ching ching ching as we sing sing I'm a survivalist seen the ghost With the bloody lips In the basement recording this Hope you caught gist Just trying to make an art of this Just trying to be an alchemist And I think we can even though It might be sinking sand Still find me a pot to piss But it's suffocating sometimes Throwing tantrums and fit's I peep the future through a peephole My cynicism really is needless But i'm an artist I'm Sensitive with my shit Still wear my heart on my sleeveless It’s all in my head now Life playing with my sense now Just waiting for the light of day Waiting for the light of day, yay I spend my whole life waiting For the types of ways To get my whole mind searching For the light of day but it fills my brain It throws me away
