Mind Notes Pt.92 'Never Expected'

Never expected to say dis

They never expected us 

On their play list

Classical magical

Music makers

Go to town on the beats

Movers an shakers

Doing this since ages

 Dungarees

And bunk beds 

Clocking all the changes

Rug rats

With cassette tapes

Going places

Wonder when it's our day

Laughing at the races

But never got to wear

Those smug faces

And never got to go

To fancy places

Never seen fifty thousand 

When I'm on them stages

But I've been around the world an back

And trust me man 

It's basic

None of that stuff

Don't matter man

It's basic

All of that stuff

Is just fake

Man face it

Trying to make it all about the paper

Make us chase it

But we be sticking to the art

Bring it back to basics

Never needed 

Critics to play this

We cut a demo

And skank

We don't business

We work a job

And pay the rent

Handle our business

So when we jump on the tracks 

Feels like it's Christmas

The industry

Straight missed us

No mansions out in the hills

Mrs an mistress

No fake friends 

Hangers on

Trying use us

It's all air

Until they stuck

Then they need us

NAH!

We never let 

The greed lead us

Never stuck on the thirst

We drink litres 

Never stuck on the spot

Statues & creepers 

JA bloodlines

Tearing up metres

Never out on a hype 

We stay focused

Can't speak our names

They don't know us

Let the music do the talking

You could quote us

Keep them tracks magical

We on that hocus-pocus

voilà

Music always was my calling

I never really had a choice

I was born in

Records spinning late night

Again in morning

I never knew my turn would come

Now I'm all in

I'm not on the payroll 

But it's minor

Doing what I love

Always got my vibe up

Because it's only a few

Making a killing

The rest of us focus on the tracks

Still winning

I can let my mind run freely

Flashbacks to old school

MC Steele

I still remember

 When I wrote my first rhyme 

Properly

Just came naturally

All made sense to me

All of those days

Seem dreams

My history

All of those raps

Were the start

My legacy

Started on the path

With the bars

My journey

And decades later

I'm still RockSteady

I always knew 

I could do this

Never needed to boast

Or try prove it

But now the games illiterate

Straight stupid

But I'm still in love with the music

Thank cupid

Never play 

Follow the leader

I'm my own student

My own teacher

My own mediator 

No in-betweeners

Every word I speak is me

Straight out the speakers

Keep eating the beats

We stay hungry

Basslines obese

Stay pumping

Time is never idle

We're always up to something

Always full of beans 

When the beat drop

Bumping

Never be

The next big thing

But I'm in it for the love of the music

Let me sing

In it for the love of the sport

It my thing

So it's on to the next one

Let the beat ring

Classic!

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
