Be quiet.



Shit boy you got to be quiet to stay.                                                                                                                                                           Don’t go doing those impossible rays.                                                                                                                                                      Yaw life up to now has gone up in a blaze                                                                                                                                     nothing up to now equals 2 bucks in change.                                                                                                                           

Second chance at life makes it a sequel, like I have been saved.                                                                                                               That would mean I have been resurrected twice, Like the fight scenes in my D.N.A.                                                       My genetics have been sliced, and with pugilism replaced                                                                                                                                                                                   you wouldn’t know I was going to war bye the look on this hansom face.                                                                                                       I will Pretend I am still in my peak, with a Smile and give a wave                                                                                                     like hey, have a look at me, I lost 6 kilo, In A day.                                                                                                                                                                                               

The envelopes never as big as you think, and it all goes on the grain,                                                                                                                                                                                                     I am true cray, cray Rinke, dink, commence the count, get to 8,                                                                                              Give me a quick drink and I am back in your face                                                                                                                         longest three minutes in the world if you don’t believe me ask craig                                                                                                               thank god the memories last longer ,than the envelope holding your pay.                                                                             Got a headache like getting sober, And back to minimum wage.                                                                                                                           

And under those shiny lights, is where my immortality stays                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             shiny bright lights splits a shadow into four, ways                                                                                                                                   it’s a business for each knuckle, so your fist is a corporation of pain                                                                                                           the whole time shuffling my feet like Ali taught me the way.                                                                                                  With this chiselled Fight physique, like no water for days.                                                                                                    And was just routine and I would not have it, any other way.                                                                                                                                               

Ya ego gets funny tells you lies,                                                                                                                                                                      it will tell you that you have accumulated skills overnight                                                                                                                                            your ego says I be in his heaozd like he just shit the bed I heard him tell his mate                                                                                                                       that he can’t be beat so he’s a little afraid.                                                                                                                                              

And now he got to take a pee, with his boxing gloves, I hope he rolls up his sleeves,                                                                             he’s going to pull the plug, and then jet, I heard him singing about  peace                                                                                                                                         there is no way I am getting out of this with respect that’s the way that it seems                                                                                                                                                                                he to the extent of explaining his new defect, and what it Affects.                                                                                                                                                             Starts with arthritis and how he forgot his meds. He has a sore tummy coz he is also on reds                                                                                                                               he can feel it in his knees, self- medicating indeed                                                                                                                                        my skill level is Zen, so now its more about what the doctor said.

So I need more rest, It needs to be about limiting the stress,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               every problem from A up to zee from anxiety, to a zinc deficiency.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               And my movement kind of squeaks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            But only enough to kill the peace.                                                                                                                                                          I shit myself and Made a mess, that’s why I try to avoid stress                                                                                                                                                                                      it smells like bigfoot, discovered anal sex, and the yeti just said yeah I’m next                                                                                  big foot came and then he left                                                                                                                                               vanishing into portholes yeah keep them clenched.                                                                                                                like you are likely to do in the west, the champ said I think that is for the best.
