lyrics

I'm Checked in
All my baggage left on the ground
Anchored fast to grey and silver
Stop playing hand shadows cross the map
Come up hither
Or Spiral down through a break in the overcast


My pride the very giant
I’ve never thought I would have to face
Its been 8 / long / lean / years in L.O.N.D.O.N
-
Seen my fair share
Learnt the hard way
3 decades yellowed my birth certificate
Spirits STILL high and pristine
Goggles heavy
Incessant On this / Raps / Beats / Caps regime
-
Every time I step up I sow in famine
Expecting a hundredfold return
I’m a long distance runner
Many so passionless
They only serve Mammon
-
Switching lanes
B. to Z. plans
Making dreams come true for every new fad
Your spark, a flash in the pan
-
Since the first wall
Since the first rap
I AM my only retirement plan

CHORUS:

I'm Checked in
All my baggage left on the ground
Anchored fast to grey and silver
Stop playing hand shadows
Across the map
Come up hither
Or
Spiral down
Through a break in the overcast

A fraction of time squandered
is like losing forever a piece of the puzzle
Once your spirit's gone from this vessel
No one else can live your essence
-
A life WELL spent on being me
You do YOU
Write a vision, aim and shoot
-
The greater tension, the further it goes
My faith like an arrow
Not an empty quiver of aspirations
Hour after hour
Perseverance is my anti-gravitation
-
I train in a way I want to fight
At the stroke of adversity one doesn't rise
To an occasion.
Wake up,
We always sink to levels of foundation
-
They say NEVER come face to face with a fantasy
Yet the longer your stay in the game, the cards finally show up
It's not about the prize but the process we get lost in
To finally discover who we really ARE
My life's chapter documented right here
This EP is my whereabouts

I'm Checked in
All my baggage left on the ground
Anchored fast to grey and silver
Stop playing hand shadows cross the map
Come up hither
Or Spiral down Through a break in the overcast
