lyrics

Teck-Zilla
I wrote these rhyme in the Keys of Life
And the best bit was when I went in my element and made a grand exit
sitting at the back of the bus, I invested
In prayers and faith; God blessed it.
Still I feel restless, the crown needs a new 'heir'
'Cause presently I feel breathless
Every step i take I see eyes watching like the headless-
horsemen, scribbling my name on their hit list
I'd rather see my nom-de-plume written by Schindler
In Japanese characters on top of the cinder
Yes I'm a sinner, I sold my soul to the highest bidder
On the crossroads I deliver
Messages but mails lead to opposite sex???
We're all fragments broken from a composite deck
Never far fetched, still possible yet
Because impossiblity is not impossible to get (get it)

The end is always closer than you know
So if you really love something, Never let it go
Disguise a song as a prayer to make it through the night
So we wrote these rhymes in the Keys of Life

Mister Rae:
I wrote this rhyme in the Keys of Life
Went from A minor to D major with the same disguise
(Dejavu) cause I swear I must have done this twice
Beside the swing set waiting picking out my lice
Snotty nose, nappy head, always polite
Never got a turn, even though I asked real nice
Finally did with no one left to push me, right
So I'd walk home sad, alone into the night
Flat tires on my bike, fresh scabs on my knees
Before I knew God I wrote him a letter to please
Save mummy from the clinic, cure her disease
And keep my report free of Fs and Cs
It was all In the mind but I didn't realize then
Introduced to someone special through the pen
On days like these its how I'm consoled again
The story of how I became my own best friend (The End)

The end is always closer than you know
So if you really love something, Never let it go
Disguise a song as a prayer to make it through the night
So we wrote these rhymes in the Keys of Life

Psalmurai:
Keys of Life, I'm selling like a dealer in white
Selling crack cocaine, man that shit ain't right
Still, he's a god to his kids and wife
In their sight. Terrible nights to do what is right
Food, clothes, shelter - he goes out helter skelter
Whatever it took to make their whole lives better
To in-laws indoors he's a dedicated father
But outdoors outlaws call him a motherf-cker
Would you rather vice-versa?
Beating his wife and kids without none nicer?
Who would you rather he gives blows
Foes or Kin-folk?
When you find something you love never let it go
In the smiles of his family he found the Keys of Life
And to keep it that way he would kill and strike
Take that all away and end his miserable life
Or lock him up and throw away The Keys for Life
