Badge of Dishonor
Was once a convict
You're a cop who is corrupt
Who will they believe?
You're a cop who is corrupt

Brixton Snow
1992, Brixton Prison, a golden dreadlock Snowy, plays his position, cooling in his cell and watching some television.
He walks with a limp through the wing, his boat bares a grin, and they say, "Have you got a pebble in your shoe and ting?"
Sporting circle sunglasses just like John Lennon, they cover his mince-pies, he is one fly felon.
He was a ragga MC, and he spat pure Patois. He didn't make generic hip hop, like your average rapper.
Now he is released from the shovel and pick, he's got his eyes on the prize, so he won't miss a trick! ...

Enter Tha Badman
Another disc day dawned, now here's the scoop,
Gino Corona, released from prison, fresh out the coop.
Five years down the line, for a knife crime spree,
Now he's out, on the right path, to set himself free.
Decides on shotokan karate, and keepin' it clean,
He arrived at the dojo, it was a sight unseen.
The sensei there, the retired cop from back in the day,
Corri Coleback sent Gino, back then, on his way.
Eighth Dan black belt, no joking around,
His daughter, Mary Coleback, also wears the crown.
She's a rookie cop on the beat, and...

divine non-being
In the vortex of being, a stillness whispers,
echoes nothingness, in chambers of silence.
Existing without essence, without the figure itself,
navigate chaos, without a compass of mercy.
Being is a burden, non-being is a torment,
the void extends into an endless abyss.
The pain of chaos, a lament in the wind,
a silent scream, in which I lose myself.
In the dance of time, steps without destination,
where being is chance, and non-being is divine.
The search for meaning, in tortuous paths,
reveals the irony of idle desires. ...

She Seemed Nice
She didn't trust meeting him
they were really tight online
she was afraid he'd be a psycho
years back she served some time
He knew nothing about this
she wasn't saying a word
one day her story leaked out
he thought this was absurd
He questioned her through e-mail
asked if she was ever in jail
Yes, but I didn't do it
she never posted bail
The authorities are looking for me
I don't have a place to hide
the last thing she said to him
I'm going to skin you alive

by the slice
I feel it!
in my stomach
that low vibration
of want...
need
I crave pizza
not a whole pie
mind you
just a slice or
two
but there is a
problem
around here most
of the pizza shops
that sell by the slice
are already closed
leaving me with the
damnable choice of
a dozen cookie cutter
big outfit cooperate
America pizza chains
with their crust that
taste like paste
their cheese as flat
as a glass bottom
boat...

mental shackles
There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to
break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and down-
right ignorance.”—Martin Luther King, Jr.
zoot scales fell from my eyes,
but i did not yet know
that light was mine, if only i would look;
brute chains fell from my thighs,
yet i did not know how
to move along where, years, no step i took.
when sighted men fall blind
by willful ignorance,
then shall all else, for vision-lack, bear blame?

Tear You Apart
freelance assassin
every target is hit in the chest
leaves you broken and responsible...
you've been hit by the best
long-suffered and less delusional
excommunicated, self-martyred
let this be a confessional
unapologetic and unforgiven
fingers are numb, nails are bitten down
trade one habit for another
learned nothing from what i couldn't keep down
and everything from my mother
in my own tears i drown
lest i offend my father
bottom of the barrel, disguised as top shelf
i thought i had what it took ...

Imprisoned by Lies
An innocent man behind bars is free in his heart
Even when the law has failed him
While a guilty man will always be on the run
Whether he knows it or not
It will eat away at his soul
The same could be said for those who have fallen
Having believed lies
They will embrace it and live in it
And not for one single minute they will open their eyes
Reality is too harsh for some
It is a prison cast upon the hearts of many
Who think they know the truth and will fight for it
Unable to perceive the sinister designs with them...

We Walked Into This One Bedroom
We went over to this one house
looking all over for the louse
who kidnapped our friend Jennifer.
We walked into this one bedroom
and looked at what made our eyes zoom
in a huge box we found under
the bed which was Jen stripped naked
and tied with a gag on her head.
She was their sex slave prisoner.
