HOOK +++
THE SUN.
everybody lying out in the THE SUN
all my tears are drying out in the THE SUN
the food up on my plate it came from THE SUN
the mood i’m in today it came from THE SUN
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY BE DONE.
darkness melting in THE SUN.
everybody out riding round in the SUN
ain’t nothing to cry about when you're in the SUN.
VERSE 1 +++
it’s funny how whenever the sun is out
i somehow, forget all about the bullshit that i was bumbing out about
back on monday when i was coming down.
shit. almost hung my self but somehow brung myself up
gotta be something bout the way the sun vibrates
that effects my mind state, and yes i’m high AF
fuck it’s friday and i got my happy shoes on
but that ain’t the grass that's the star that it grew from
and the rain that came from the rock that it flew on
to get here. it’s easy to forget we’re just new on
this planet. Us humans ain’t bin around for too long
the sun though? it’s bin around for minute now. when you move on
it’ll still be spinning , like this rock that you on.
the sun, how many laps you bin around since you were born?
let’s celebrate that day. blow the candles off the cake.
before mother nature blows the bugs off her face. the sun.
VERSE 2 +++
The night killer. Life beginner. All praise due to the divine light giver
Known by many names throughout the ages the son of god, light of the world, the saviour
But long before any of this it was adorned through carvings, writings, paintings on the wall from Greece India, Persia to Nepal, China, Assyria, Japan the list goes on
For the night time was a blind predator filled darkness without heat or light crops would die before harvest
The saviour that kept the people from starving personified by man this is where it started
Like folk songs sung to preserve a tradition these stories were told carrying ancient wisdom
Thousands of years before the one they called christ the same story is told through the zodiac signs
And hundreds of other places scattered around the globe yet none of these other stories ever get told
Blame rome, blame our need for control, blame the greedy, blame the book, blame the vultures who prey upon the needy
Blame anyone who ever killed in the name of God for the one true creator has no interest in war
The night killer. Life beginner.
All praise due to the divine light giver. The Sun.
POEM
The Sun
ball of cancer and light
gold tooth smile
in a cloudless ocean
The sun
washing the night
into gutters
those with fortunes and the less fortunate
frolic together beneath
The Sun
I am hell bound jesus
walking barefoot over melted ashfelt
hands out
towards the
The Sun
traveling light years
to be right here
with me
dripping space nectar
forgetting desperate
winters now
The Sun
gracing us with its magnanimous presence
working parent
with night shift blues
cleaning windows in celestial heavens
The Sun
essence of life
gold tooth smile
in a cloudless sky

stress on my chest. life is a mess.
kinda like my desk. might be depressed.

any better death gonna definitely get you
down if you let it. but forget it’s in inevitable.
gotta get it how you get it gotta be logical
with it. cut the bullshit take a breathe.

hearing that fucking chia song la freak. (FREAK OUT)

last years been a harsh one. could’ve been my last one
but it’s sunny today
and plus i got a son on the way. so hey
i could either blow my brain out like cobaine

No time to stare at the ceiling
Running late on my second day
Getting paid washing dinner plates
Down time seems so appealing
12 hour shifts with an hour off
Lived my whole life without a boss
And now its yes sir no sir three bags full
Move that there heat that up keep that cool
Go get a bucket of bleech and wash that wall
Get right up under the sink get down on all fours if you need to
Man this aint no place for me
6ft samoan 105kg
trying to squeeze my arse under the bench to clear the drain before i hear the head chef yelling my name like
Why the fuck aint this plate clean,
Bruv i washed about 100 in the last 15 and plus im under here trying to get this fixed
Man tell that other mafucka go and do that shit, shit.
Nah let me get that boss man rewashed the plate burn my hand on a hot pan damn
Hands cramping up cant hold the scrubber
Should of wore the gloves cant pull the fucking plug up
No wonder all these dudes chain smoking shit I'd do the same but i hate smoking but i can relate cant wait for my break lock myself in my room spend a day floating cause
This shit'll make a sane man crazy
Diving throug the waves in my day dreams daily
But then i sbap back to the kitchen
Knee deep in dishes wishing i was somewhere sitting poolside

i know what men like.
that’s why i, only trust the type that like men.
no i don’t believe him.
wanna know the reason. because i used to be him.
used to be creeping all up in your dms.
behind his back like when you gonna leave him?
so. no i don’t trust him.
but i ain’t gonna judge him.
cause just a couple years ago i was him.
didn’t give a fuck then. but i do now so
HOOK***

even donny hathaway and john lennon got jealous.
sometimes. that’s why.
i just wanna make you jealous.

you might see me on my instagram
and you get jealous. sometimes.
i tell you that i’m just a man.
and you get jealous. sometimes.
i just wanna make you mad.
cause i’m jealous sometimes. sometimes i just get jealous.
VERSE 2 +++
fuck her.
you seem to wanna fuck her.
and no i don’t trust her
cause i don’t trust you lying motherfucer.
look at me.
i used to be the old her.
i’ve heard everything you probably would of told her. (already)
remember what you told your old bird.
about me. i don’t even know her.
oh really?
ok. well let me call her.
you call your lawyer.
somebody call an ambulance for the bitch
better yet call the coroner.
god bless
now let’s get a deeper.
can’t change the spots on a cheater.
i know that’s the way that jealousy works.
i guess i get what i deserve.
HOOK***
i get jealous. sometimes
when i see her on your instagram.
i get jealous. sometimes.
even when i’m with your man
and he gets jealous of us.
oh i never told you that
that make you jealous? my love?
yeah. i just wanna make you jealous.

some people gotta learn the hard way.
you get jealous. sometimes.
oh you thought i can’t play too.
you jealous. alright?
ok. i made you mad.
don’t be jealous. understand a relationship needs balance. why you jealous?
VERSE 3------
i said. ahhh huh what’s up with this jealousy it keeps fucking
with me. thinking the people i grew up with want to fuck with the woman i’m in love with.
just cause i can’t be trusted anyone else got to be a suspect.
really don’t wanna be so begrudging but it’s just the way that i function.
since i busted my ex chick fucking my so called homie i ain’t felt nothing
i ain’t felt nothing untill i woke up in your bed. fucked it up and feel in love again.
i must’ve bin dusted or something. i know that love is for sensitive suckers,
dumb motherfuckers and rose petal pluckers. i know all about the way that the bee buzzes.
but it’s hard when u get stung or u get hung up on what ya x done.
gotta let some of that go gotta get up, get out, get some. cause you're only ever getting old, never getting young.
no time to regret none. call it YODO . 'you only dead once'.
you could either get jealous, or get drunk. get up or get upset about something that somebody said
SOMETIMES, i get low, so, sometimes, i get stoned
every now and then sometimes, i get so high that i start tripping out like a skitzo.
but i know it’s o.k. cause the shit’s not real. even though it might feel like it is though.
that’s when i just gotta just sip slow let it all just process on the trip home.
let the bull shit go. really don’t wanna be jealous, but sometimes i just wanna be the baddest.
even tho i know that that is not what even matters in the long run. all i really need is a challenge.
but i get jealous, even of david dallas, even of lucky lance even though i’ll never tell him.
i even get jealous of dudes with no talent, cause i still don’t know how to sell it
if i had some. damn son. i’m my dad’s son and i’m broke and i’m bout to have one.
and i’m mad cause, all these assholes, they're all rich like richard branson.
but they're raps are fucking average, like my bands name and thats sad bruv.
because brats like that got bashed up back in my day but what am i’m saying man i’m just JEALOUS.

VERSE 1 (Lui)
dude on the door don’t believe i’m the dude from the group on the poster.
got dropped off outside of the club in the promoter’s pulsar.
told me to go to the back and stand in a line by the wall
every time we perform here, he’s on the door here. and he wants to be the law.
bar tender won’t look my way. hey hey, can i get a gin and OJ?
ok. sweet then be that way. i’ll wait. fuck it. we’re already late
supposed to be on at 12 but he wanna sell more alks
so we gotta wait around all god damn night like we’re in the cells.
and the sound man is an arsehole. and the back stage is the kitchen.
and we’re sitting on the refrigerator that they keep all the chips in.
thought it was gonna be sweet to make a living as a musician.
serves my dumb as right for having ambition…. mic check.
VERSE 1 (Tom)
dude in the front rows yawning while we’re performing.
2 dudes next to him talking, another 2 brawling.
young hoe in the front row, watched the whole show on her cell phone.
drunk bro looking unco doing that dumb dance with his elbows.
nobody really cares there here for the main act. most of them hate rap.
i give em that 'thank you you been great' crap cause i get paid to say that.
then i pack up and i roll, jump in a cab, back to the hotel.
cause there ain’t nowhere to go, in this whole shit hole town.
lie on my bed watching darts. (ckkgg) something bout sharks.
open the curtain and look at the car park..this is the arse hole of the world.
i hear the whole of the world laugh, while i stand in the bath.
trynna make a living making my art. sometimes i gotta ask...

VERSE 2 (Tom)
we just got 200 buck for the show.
we just did 200 buck worth of blow.
all of my doe just went out the window. then i woke up in a old
hotel and they telling me now that i owe them a lotta doe. i said i don’t know
who put the hole in the wall / what do i owe u for all of the blow that we bought?
no i'm not going to court. it's only a fork. i never broke any law.
if anyone asks / nobody talk / tell em you don’t even know me at all
woke up in all of my clothes on the floor / this the first show of tour.
man i gotta get a life /what the fuck am i doing here getting high every night like i'm 25 acting like i won't never die.
i'm getting older than mega drive.
and you probably won't even get that line.
probably never even heard of 'Never Mind' but never mind.
WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?
VERSE 2 (Lui)
Life's a bitch then you die.
But life's the shit when you're high. Really high.
So I live mine in the clouds feel like I never come down.
Till I wake up on the couch, like a dead dog with his tongue out.
Somehow thought it was a bright idea.
Now I feel like I could die right here.
I don't wanna talk.
Incase somebody might hear
how I feel when I'm this low.
Trynna climb out this hole I've been digging
I been thinking that I might let go.
But I don't.
And time goes on and now I'm fine.
Spent 3 days in the dark. No lie. I don't why.
I don't why it's every weekend. Stead of the life I could be leading
if I just leave this shit behind and spend more time refining my lines
instead of doing them but same old same old
in the bathroom of some shit hole club
with a bunch of people I don't even know
and I don't even know what they put in this shit.

VERSE 2+++
a life time dedicated to entertainment.
cause i never did look good in an apron.
never made it. but i really never made it
to make it. only wanted to make a statement.
hoping that somebody out there related.
never gave a shit if radio played it.
i made it for the same kids that were raised in
the same kind of neighbourhood i was made in.
i paint this picture to explain the pain of
my neighbours on the minimum wage with
8 kids on the grave shift. cause i came in
the same kind of plane they came in.
i raised by a bassist.
who played on the same stages as the wailers.
and a lot of other famous entertainers
plus all the nameless so called failures.
_________________________
who never got no praises for the greatness.
never on the front pages on the papers
just on the back same name in ingraved
on the grave. mean i'm back stage pacing.
man i don’t wanna be the greatest
i don’t wanna be no kelly slater.
i don’t wanna.i don’t wanna be no sammie davis.
i don’t wanna be an entertainer.
some of my favourite artists are waiters
fuck being famous.
my favourite rapper got shot in las vegas.
in chuck tailors
and i been hated, celebrated, humiliated
mistranslated. castrated
on the main stage and my mum had to watch.

The Sun
ball of cancer and light
chipped tooth smile
in a winters ocean
The Sun
burning down to the filter
between the yellow fingers of the city
The Sun
a two dollar coin
falling from heaven
rolling through mean street gutters
laughing
The Sun
fading like a memory
of a drunken kiss
as night floods the sky
and the streets scream alive
The Sun
Dressed in rags and bad luck
talking of former glory
after one two many beers
The Sun
Jilted lover flashing
a gold tooth smile
in a cloudless sky.
