Emcee Video (MV)

As I'm writing this, I'm about to turn seventeen
Jan 5th could we put down all our weapons please?
A long shot I know but you don't ask you don't get
If I woke up to no threats, that'd really help our self esteem
I know the world ain't evergreen cause the leaves fall
I'm just asking for a second for the people
Cause they're meant to come first that's the essence of elections
Is this system a guillotine or a see saw
I get we can't have it both ways, that's illogical
Are we leaning towards equality? That's improbable
I look outside I see the beauty is phenomenal (I am Phenomenal)
Let us look for solutions and not at who's responsible
The other day I had a Christian knocking at my door
Asking me what I think the world is headed for
Will it get better, get worse, or stay the same?
I told em so much worse without a major change
That's what it comes down to don't it?
When a kid can tell you that the world around you's broken
Most people see blurred, can you focus?
'Stead of next man chat bout how mad this roach is
They can feel it they can breathe it they can see it in our eyes
Every time we tell em fine they can see we're telling lies
And I'm sinking in the rhymes just thinking all the time
But what's really in my mind isn't pretty in the light

The motto wasn't to follow down this shameful path
Why is music with a message a disgraceful art
The game is so dirty need to take a bath
Erase the charts we must remain on task
What I'm seeing is the game's, tied up by 2 chains
The groups face being clogged up by a new wave
A little bit of a wayne, an iggy and a drake
And a waka flocka flame fills the future with new pain
A new strain, of a deadly condition
So we're looking to the past as we're set on a mission
That's why I tried to take you all the way Back 2 Tha Roots
But you're more interested in going back to the zoots
I can't capture the mood just from rapping to you
If you'd rather live your life just stacking a few
But if thats a rap, he can rap, damn he must be an Oddity
You must know by now that your opinions ain't stopping me
And I was Trapped in Chains, now I'm breaking free
So there's really no reason to be hating me
Cause in my life ain't nothing to be jealous of
Truss that in my closet, there's many many skeletons
That might sound ungrateful but I really ain't
I'm thankful for what I've got but it could really change
Never glimpsed the finest, like I was Biggie, Jay (Z)
Haven't hit rock bottom like I was Slimmy Sha (dy)

I really say to those who hope and they pray
Who every time they look out wounds open again
To the little girl across the street groped at again
To all the people who're told life's supposed to be great
To notice today how we can stand together
While it won't be ok we can stand together
We can grow through the pain when we stand together
If we stand aggressors then we won't be coping today
This is for my loser's, my nerds and my geeks
My larrys and outcasts, not the herd of the sheep
For those who feel alone when surrounded by peeps
And anybody else who wants to stand with the freaks
If you think that Hip-Hop's disappointed its fathers
I encourage you to listen to Lowkey, Akala (Hyperaptive)
And thats just here in the UK
Locksmith's killing it in the U States (Gemstones)
The diamonds are all lying under the ground
And if you dig deep enough then you're loving the sound
Gotta have some patience like a Jedi Knight
It'll take a lot of time for me to semi shine
But look at last year how much I've improved
Best believe in me cause it's coming here soon
I'm here on the track cause I got nothing to do
Kay the 6'2" I'm in love with this groove

So relax cause there's 24 bars left
23 bars for me to warp our sense
Of what we are and what we could grow to
Of what defines our lives what makes everybody know you
It's like playing as Shaq but can't figure out your post moves
If you can't play your role then what the hell's your go to?
Cause the opposition is stacked
Jordan and LeBron are beginning their attack
This is the definition of an emcee
Controlling the crowd is our mission evidently
All these ideas just sitting in my head we've
Gotta express this is thinking with a medley
I'm never giving up to the dark side
Got a past life of stark gripes, I can't find a pass time
A hard, vast card played against a cast die
A fast clasped grasp as you're hit by blast fire
And as I'm sitting here today and I've written on a page
Letting everybody know that I'm spitting out my pain
Sinking off away amidst the many waves
If you listen to what I say you can see the ticking in my brain
Yeah, and its like that
A Run-D public enemy couldn't fight back (fight the power)
Walk the sky, empire's strike back (star wars)
But I'm a Luscious Lyon, going till my life cracks (boom boom boom boom)
