lyrics

Intro x2 (vsteeze)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather),
I rather (rather), I rather (rather).

Verse One (Funky DL)
And I write rhymes, yeah I got lyrics that be spanning my lifetime,
so prolific, maybe I’m out of my right mind,
but everywhere I go I’m letting my light shine,
I got them staying in they lane like a white line,
cos’ I constantly got music in the pipeline,
I’m not the type to ever sit on the side-line,
so forgive me if I don’t follow the guidelines,
they say when you born with the plight of a black man,
you gotta work ten times harder than that man
to get you a cigar and a bottle of Jack Dan,
sophisticated car and the money to stack land,
bring it back man, I just write rhymes,
it took me all around the world and right back again,
providing inspiration from the words I’m imagining,
making a presentation from the words I’m unravelling,
although when you an independent artist it’s challenging,
but with every adversity yo’ I’m still here
and when I see grey skies, I know that they will clear,
that’s why I make basslines that people can feel, yeah,
at the right time, yo’ I write rhymes,
and yo’ likewise, I recite lines,
and keep on listening to samples I might find,
from early morning all way into night-time,
yo’ I write rhymes, I just write rhymes.
Chorus x2 (vsteeze)
I be raising vibrations all through the raps,
I rather (rather), I rather (rather),
I rather write poems, something classic.

Verse Two (Funky DL)
I still write rhymes, we talking thirty something years of my poetry,
I gotta speak my truth, but with a hint of diplomacy
and never speak reckless just so the people will notice me,
this lyrical potency when I’m speaking so openly,
when I write rhymes the page flows
and keep the beat under wraps like it’s plainclothes,
so the words shine bright like they halos
and be a symbol of faith like it’s a rainbow,
it’s from the soul, so any situation in my life can unfold,
write it down, document it, so the truth can be told,
a message in the music, leave the youth predisposed
to lessons they can use in every fork in the road,
cos’ God only knows that my penmanship is for my friends and my foes,
cos’ these sentences will just extend into flows,
making entrances, now as blend with the Rhodes I write rhymes,
I can be feeling not so good, but I write rhymes,
ain’t in the flyest neighbourhood, but I write rhymes
and even when I feel disheartened, I write rhymes,
if every friend of mine departed, I write rhymes
and if I’m feeling broken-hearted, I write rhymes,
I took it back to how I started, I write rhymes,
from early morning all way into night-time,
yo’ I write rhymes, I just write rhymes.

Chorus (vsteeze)

Outro (vsteeze)
I rather (rather), I rather (rather),
I rather (rather), I rather (rather).
I rather (rather), I rather (rather),
I rather (rather), I rather (rather).
I rather write poems, something classic.
