When all you see is dread

I replay bob Marley message

In my head one love instead

Rise from the dead

Cast me to the flame

You can't burn

What's already fire

Invisible like air

Try holding your breath

Stubborn and turning blue

Take a deep breath

Inhale my stress relief.


Stand up to the test

Put your mind at rest

In defeat we learn

Yearning for a quick fix

Being humbled is a tasty dish

It seasoned right

Gotta get the mix right

Give and take

To the right and left

All humans be impressed

Invest in one another

Brothers and sisters

From different mother's

Above no others.


I've been down

But never lost my fight

I'm pulling no muscles

Coz I love a tussle

Drinking from a poisonous punch

Consuming it like your favourite meal

Pavlovian level of conditioning

Cooking in all our kitchen

Dinner bells ringing

still running to the hunters table

Cut out your labels

All they do is itch anyway

This time I'm gonna

Make it count.


Rise above the hate

Violence don't need

to be our fate

Leaving nothing to celebrate

Time to regulate

Facts over feelings

Facts don't change

No matter which way

You leaning

When your deep in your feels

Wake up get real.


Be ready

Hold steady

Marks set

Best be ready to go

Because I'm not a shower

I'm a straight grower

Reap these seeds I sow

Together were stronger

Can't rise above

If you don't stand taller

Don't let us fall

Hit reset

Or remain a mutton

Dressed up like a lamb

Lead to the slaughter
