Poet Introduction
Just started writing a couple of years ago.
Groove Mother
They think, good golly gosh, I feel the way you move
Live a bit, no fear, and gyrate those hips real smooth
We all know your hip is deep inside and still alive
So show us now, how those legs dance to the groove
‘Cos we know you, know you, know you into groove
And, like duh, UR, UR, You are so dope
We, want you, want you, want you to feel alive
So now we gather, then cheer and feel your jive, watching you groove
So they say
Groove for you
Groove for you
Groove for you Now Now Now
I've always...
Live a bit, no fear, and gyrate those hips real smooth
We all know your hip is deep inside and still alive
So show us now, how those legs dance to the groove
‘Cos we know you, know you, know you into groove
And, like duh, UR, UR, You are so dope
We, want you, want you, want you to feel alive
So now we gather, then cheer and feel your jive, watching you groove
So they say
Groove for you
Groove for you
Groove for you Now Now Now

Go Penny Go
Penny got married young, she idolised her new man
Penny turned 16, said, I do I do, priest wed them both
Penny was happy, never complained to anyone, too shy for that
She crashed a party once, and met a gal named Sally
They became friends
And she confided in her
Shared little secrets, lips sealed, shook their little pinkies, never to tell
Then hubby walked in with curious smile, said you going to stay awhile
I'm not coming back until sunlight, best thing Penny had heard all night
‘Cause her new beau, wasn’t all that he seemed ...

Mother
She lie
She get by
He’s a guy
He’s so sly
She got no father
Just a fake stepfather
He got a family
All in jail, actually
They are meant for each other
They’re expecting, so she’ll soon be a mother
Their others a girl, now she’ll have a brother
They don’t own a house, they’d rather squatter
Thrown out again, forever living in squalor
Not a dollar for food, now she’s a robber
She’ll be living with in-laws soon, wearing a collar
So yes, the little girl and me the brother
We once called her, our dearly...

Something About Mary
Oh Mary, Mary, quite demanding
How does ya man stay put?
With blue pills, and dollar bills
Pity, those pretty whores, helping his cardiac output
You’ve got something about Mary, in ya hair
Where? Oh, there!
Oh well, I really don’t care
It’s not the only thing, I like to bare
Look up to the ceiling, if ya dare
If ya mother ever saw, it’ll be your worst nightmare
Good comes with the bad, life sometimes, just ain’t fair
Thank God, it’s only hair gel, try looking outside the square
...

Fallen Star
Always being flirted with
While others never get noticed
Standing out in densely gathered crowds
The highs were way above and beyond
Even the mightiest and highest of the clouds
The shine would never ever leave
My newly found and now world famous face
But, it takes lots of damn hard work
If wanting to stay in Hollywood’s first place
Never liked to be the runner up
Only ever winning, at any sort of race
Paparazzi snapping, tabloids exaggerating
For what’s its actually worth
One more bit of bad gossip mongering
They could...

Mother Mary
You might think he’s your saviour
Because of his mystical behaviour
He amazed folks on his travels, especially Mary, a nonnative
Made the upper-class take a bit too much notice
They nailed him thru his flesh, for fcuk sake
Then hung him out on a cross to sun-bake
Imagine no communication
Could we hear you, or would we go insane?
No reason for speech or retaliation
A poisonous arrow of man
Imagine all the harmony
Sleeping without a wink of pain
But,...

It’s A Real Hot Poppin’ - Ft. Hippo & Harps
Shouting about to all of my homies

Drifting About - Ft. Hippo & Harps
Floating around the shores of a beach, whilst being all out to sea
I’ve been drifting about, the days are becoming so long
Nobody told me, it could so easily, happen to me
It’s not that it’s bad, I’ve done nothing wrong
It’s just time, as I knew it, seems to have skipped a beat
A month became a year, like time decided not to catch up and meet
Nowhere to sleep, little to eat, only new wayward floaters to greet
Can you see me or do you choose not to?
Acknowledge me, don’t look straight through me
I’m a human with a heart, if it were you, I’d...

I’ve Got A Lover Or Two
I've got a lover or two
One's lying on da sofa, so true
While her little sister is in da back room
They are so dope in da bedroom, boom boom
I might've made an enemy
They're both half awake, with their eyes still searching
Both luscious and bootiful, they still be wanting my attention
Their both mine for now, shush, secretly I guess
They know I'm a little shy, by da way I quietly say, bye-bye
They go rambling on, promising not to stay out too late
Respectfully yours
As long as she gets down on all fours, while she roars ...

Around About
(i) Amen:
Why do ya pray to me? Don't lie!
Which way do ya look up in da sky?
What do ya expect to hear?
What do ya really want to hear?
Many unbelievers, their wanting to see me, so sincere
(ii) Praying:
Are ya still around and about me, my Lord?
Will ya return someday, with one accord?
Are ya really the truth, da whole flaming truth?
Nothing but da truth, the answer, I believed in my youth
Shout out also, to da virgin, the one and only, Mamma Mary
I just wish to finally get rid, of this topsy-turvy...

Live Your Life
Forever young, never to old, that’s what’s being sung
Live your life, hear, breathe, smell, touch, all inhale the air
Stories told, Chinese whispers spread, some are so far flung
Your born to live, then learn some more and know how to give
It’s a new born, now your turn, to teach the one you now bare
Stay close between, the young and old, enjoy who you’re with
Look back at a time, when you were so young, a curious mind
Look ahead of time, you’ll miss your life, there’s no rewind.
Live your life, hear, breathe, smell, touch, all inhale the air
Stories told, Chinese whispers spread, some are so far flung
Your born to live, then learn some more and know how to give
It’s a new born, now your turn, to teach the one you now bare
Stay close between, the young and old, enjoy who you’re with
Look back at a time, when you were so young, a curious mind
Look ahead of time, you’ll miss your life, there’s no rewind.

CrazeHaze-DazeWaze
Wandering no mans land
I’m distant, confused, you do understand
Internally bruised, not cool
Forgetting ‘bout that chin drool
I’m shuffling and and stutt stutter stuttering
Forgetting ’bout something, but don’t have nothing
Circling roundabouts, where’s the damn turn-off
Not old age, just Parkinson’s Disease, ya jerk-off
Beginning the day, falling asleep at the wheel
Other drivers, swearing at me, am I for real
Strolling food isles, zoning out, I just paid twice
Frozen face, freezing of the gait, end of paradise.
I’m distant, confused, you do understand

Not old age, just Parkinson’s Disease, ya jerk-off
Beginning the day, falling asleep at the wheel
Other drivers, swearing at me, am I for real
Strolling food isles, zoning out, I just paid twice
Frozen face, freezing of the gait, end of paradise.
