I’m in King Cross’s womb Bumping down the disused Tunnels Ready to slop out in the early hours All grey due to my recent surroundings I’m found in Slippery oil slicks, hi vis And darkness But I felt safe in there The air stuffed itself It gorged on bum fluff Supervisor huff, and She churns [...]

Stage-a-Gwanin’ 17/07/2022
17/07/22 Eek, I am finally getting some opportunities to perform on stage! After spending so much time building your art up, it can feel like a big ball of energy that you want to send spinning into the world. Each rehearsal makes the fire burn brighter. Each question from mates asking ‘When? Where?’ chucks another [...]
Hypoglycaemiadreamia
You spoke to me like I was human But I had big eyes and antennas Still you took patience Carving stories like hands under henna Pausing for my breaths And then a Sweet check up to see if I was keeping with But I wasn’t I was fluttering eyelids And seeing triple There were ripples [...]
Funder Bolted
I think you’re the bee’s knees Even on days like these When life don’t treat you To the things you deserve When you ain’t served Lurve or kindness When you got that blindness To your wonder And those smarts That bring a beige day Thunder. By Lyric Deep.
Don’t Die For Da Dates & Grades 17/06/22

Tit
You thought you were so stupid in that moment That you voiced yourself and were an embarrassment That you got it all totally wrong And missed the glaring obviousness That everyone else picked up on You kept a brave face, didn’t twitch Didn’t let the room know you had awareness of the slip You took [...]
Ode To My People 17/05/2022
17/05/2022 I’ve recorded the EP! FINALLY! My seven piece band and I spent the 16th and 17th of April in Satellite Studios, Enfield, securing our months of hard work into a fixed project that we can share with the world. I feel so proud, and so excited. After going to an Orii Jam in Hackney [...]
Fastloosen
Got VIP, priority, Cos of my network Had Faith in the line, with love as my net worth Dropped off coats, two for one Some tap water and out of date crisps Looking round I knew I didn’t fit in I got all 70s for a show in the now It was a little bit [...]
Towards You
Walk with me Not against me The wind is pushing us My direction So turn and head me Face the thing You wish nature Would thrust you from Because every time you cut The journey short You just end up on the long Way to Because every time You run from me I run faster [...]
