Jus Human 04:11
Don’t try to be black or brown, don’t try to be white Coz trying to be human is hard enough Yeah, I know ya been tucked up,I know ya been f*cked up like crumbs on a carpet, rubbish, you been sucked up & f*cked up again, like f*ckety overload you’re a physical, lyrical bomb jus waiting to explode & Who’s gonna get it? whoever gets in ya way It’s been a hard days night & a hard nights day That you never opted in but ya cant opt out Ain’t you who’s dictating what ya lifes all about & ya doomed if ya don’t & ya doomed if ya do Its about who’s controlling who & them & what & you It’ll take supersize strength to change & pave the way All got it within us, to find, jus pray That a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin That a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin. Don’t try to be black or brown, don’t try to be white Coz trying to be human is hard enough If you were blind, you’d only hear my voice Blessed with all your senses try to make the same choice When you’re lookin at me lookin at you With only our defence on view Know our bones beneath it say We’re jus human, we’re jus human. Look at your reflection, ya look like an erection Acting like a dickhead, that’s lost all their direction You need protection, mostly from yourself Tryna stand up like a giant when you’re an ant like everybody else & everything that goes up, must come down Don’t want another Mama dying crying tears for her clown Don’t wanna another young one lying in a casket Even a biogradeable friendly wicker basket Life ain’t a tv show you can rewind where an actor gets shot then gets back up on his grind this is real but I feel that somewhere in your brain You know that if we cut up the colours the same. An a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin A miracle is comin, a miracle is comin, a miracle is comin. Don’t try to be black or brown, don’t try to be white Coz trying to be human is hard enough If you were blind, you’d only hear my voice Blessed with all your senses try to make the same choice When your lookin at me lookin at you With only our defence on view Know our bones beneath it say We’re jus human, we’re jus human. When ya lookin in the eyes of another Ya lookin in the eyes of ya brother & sister ya lookin in the eyes of yourself When you’re looking in the eyes of another, Hear the same heart ticking, tick tick tick, tick tick tick, tick tick tick, Were jus human x 4 Don’t try to be black or brown, don’t try to be white Coz trying to be human is hard enough.

ToolBox 03:18
What you got in your toolbox What you gathered as you’ve grown Who you were can shape who you become its all valuable So bring it on home What you got in your tool box Don’t be ashamed of days gone by Things all happen for a reason & your doing alright. I used to be a fighter mighta not have survived So it saw me through a time from the age of five Then someone said I was funny so I used that instead Swapping one tool for another, knocked fighting on the head That’s what happens when ya grow ya get to leave things behind Still a part of you just harder to find, I really didn’t mind I was ready to move on If you can listen N learn you can grow to be anyone I’m as thick as sh*t never been academic, With most teachers I was never gonna get it They never had passion like they wanted to be But I’m doing alright yeah coz life taught me And it taught me more than a school could ever give It’s a f*cked up system and usually is So I live by my own rules, set the bar high Forgive like ya wanna be forgiven, it’s a hard life What you got in your toolbox What you gathered as you’ve grown Who you were can shape who you become its all valuable So bring it on home What you got in your toolbox Don’t be ashamed of days gone by Things all happen for a reason & your doing alright. I messed up a million times but I got no regrets Jus take it on the chin, try not to forget Don’t always succeed but I keep on trying Sucking up my lessons till the day that I’m dying Lifes about Luv, it aint easy to do When hates on ya tail yeah tryin to unbalance you & like an umbrella that covers you up from the rain You use ya fists an ya anger to cover up the pain And you’ll remain that way if you aint willin to learn & hand yaself to the haters shouting burn baby burn come out from undercover, keep ya head up high leavem in ya dust coz it’s time for goodbye Say Hi to the new phase ya movin on stronger Putting away the things ya don’t need any longer always be a part of you, a memory done So look back & be proud of how far ya come. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh , oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, What you got in your toolbox (I GOT NO REGRETS) What you gathered as you’ve grown (TRY NOT TO FORGET) Who you were can shape who you become its all valuable So bring it on home What you got in your toolbox (HOLD YA HEAD UP HIGH) What you gathered as you’ve grown (TIME TO SAY GOODBYE) Who you were can shape who you become its all valuable So bring it on home Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it Bring it on home, bring it on home bring it Bring it on home, bring it on home bring it Bring it on home.

I give to you in equal measure Taste my pain, feel my pleasure Dominated or dominator? Let the game begin. I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it Put ya hands on my chest, feel my breath Rip at our clothes as we undress, touch the flesh, it’s a mess see It’s always physical, it’s never lyrical, bodies collide, how no-ones died it’s a miracle. When we communicate, between our love and hate We push the buttons, we explode and then we celebrate. We dance around each other looking to even up the score Then you impale me on your flesh just like you were a matador Who’s gonna lie in the bloody ring of roses Take the prize and the game decomposes It’s like a see-saw up and down never ending Neither getting off, neither seeing or comprehending We break arms, touch lips, thrust hips & bang our heads together like we don’t give a jack about it It’s our addiction, we just can’t stop No matter who gets hurt in the climb for the top Wanna climb on top. I give to you, as you give to me Let the game begin yeah. I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it I give U quality honey, so put ya money on me With my authority, surely you wanna get up on it

Bus Stop 16 (free) 02:37
It’s all changed & lifes moved on I woke up one day & my health had gone Pain has no preference when said & done But I’m still sixteen inside. I fell in luv, that’s what people do In my mind I still think of you I heard you’re still a bastard yeah, that ain’t nuthin new & I’m still sixteen inside. Bills to pay & a job to keep If I wanna stay off tha street. Everyday is such a fucking major feat Coz I’m still sixteen inside. When ya family & friends have gone & the last lament is sung But oh you thought they’d live forever on & on Coz we’re still 16 inside. Yeah,Trust me one day you wake up old & grey & you wonder where you’ve gone, one minute ya young & ya dancing in a club, falling in N out of Luv, surrounded by ya friends yeah, drinking in a pub Then changes come-a-creepin, ya never see them sneak in suddenly the buildings gone & everybodies leaving friendships a memory, ya future round the bend & ya clinging to the past coz you don’t wanna reach the end Everything is gaining pace, it’s all becoming clearer That nuthin lasts forever, N ya time is drawing nearer its like waiting at a bus-stop ,another aint gonna come You only get one ticket, to one bus, make sure you’re on & ride it to the max aiming for a crash landing Or wait while everybody drops & be the last one standing. Silver hair & mind decay When I can’t remember yesterday & oh my body’s changing in a frightening way But I’m still sixteen inside Always sixteen inside Get on that bus, enjoy your ride It’s now that you should live your life. Will we be tha last ones standing Gaz?

Held together with band aid, band aid, band aid, Life was but a fairytale when I was just a kid Thought someone would luv N marry me but hey they never did Some people aint for lovin, I guess I must be one I thought I would, I hoped I would, I guess I got it wrong & I never had 4 children 2 girls N 2 boys by the time that I was old enough my tale had been destroyed By reality, it weren’t just me, I aint the only one Who never had a life like Disney or had Minnie as my mum It was arguments & a deadbeat who wanted to beat her dead I shoulda run but stayed to try and save her life instead But sometimes there aint no reasoning & people never learn That the ashes from their fires fall on others til they burn & feel the pain & scars remain so trust can never be I aint gonna lie, I’m dead inside there aint no saving me I never came to get messed up & stressed up and burnt I just came to make music & to luv. But I still gotta luv for the world and his wife You can make a stranger nice coz you don’t know. Held together with band aid, rip it off & I’d fall apart I don’t heal I hurt forever, that’s just the way some people are A heart so easily broken, impossible to mend When you can still luv from a distance But you can never be loved again Yeah, so I was very young when I lost all my trust & comin from a broken home kinda makes ya tough & I built up these barriers & walls all around Weren’t nuthin in the whole wide world make me takem down Everything was sound, it was all going good Then you came along and you told me that I should & I shouldn’t tar everybody with the same brush When ya lips touched mine it was better than a sugar rush I never let you dive in for a midnight swim Not even with a rubber ring that was not my thing I had to make sure that you were worth the risk for & Not just a player looking to lay another fool Who gave her heart like a fairytale, living like its old skool I was naïve to believe it could be true, you lovin me Not me lovin you I never came to get laid & betrayed & broken I just came to make music and to luv. But I still gotta luv for the world and his wife You can make a stranger nice coz you don’t know. Held together with band aid, rip it off & I’d fall apart I don’t heal I hurt forever, that’s just the way some people are A heart so easily broken, impossible to mend When you can still luv from a distance But you can never be loved again Your kinda luv aint my kinda lovin, Your kinda luv aint my kind Your kinda luv aint my kinda lovin, Your kinda luv aint my kind They think they’re better than her but they’re all just the same All hypocritical playin the blame game & The only one I trust now apart from myself Is The mainman yeah & nobody else & I luv in his name, & the luv is Universal & I focus on living & giving coz life aint a rehearsal Everything ya say N do leaves an imprint I hope I leave mine behind in music & luv. Whats yours gonna be? Yeah, what’s yours gonna be ? Try not to hurt nobody So they can never be loved again. So they can never be loved again. Is she dead or just dormant? Who gonna bring her to life life life? Is she dead or just dormant who gonna bring her to life, The girl with the rhino skin don’t let no frickin body in is she dead or just dormant, who gonna bring her to life… Well, I presume I’m emotionally dead coz I feel numb, Accept when it comes to music then I feel it some A geek that’s weak for the beat, my sex, my saviour, my life complete, its all sweet. They assume to bloom I need someone like a broom To sweep me along, but I sing my own song So get ya ass out my space coz I’m a lyrical bomb, like a tick tick boom Rollin to my own tune, I been doing that since I left my Mamas womb Won’t be glued to someones side for an ID Be nobodoes mistress or bride or wife see, I’m an independent woman with an eye on the prize to be. And there’s so much more to life…there’s so much more to this life. Believe it.
