Out here on my own.. Just want to get through the day and stay at home. But they got me out here working to the bone... I just wanna talk to my baby...but they blocked the phones.. I Got 7 days of supplies..keep hearing all their lies...i wanna get out today...but they won't let any planes fly away. I salute you isolate. Day 1 this shit's just begun talking about its just like the flu...but hang on. coz something seems wrong getting conflicted reports about cancelled chinese exports and whats gonna come.. Day 2 and this aint like the flu first reported death and multiple cases reported on the news... Day 3 more people disagree. we need a statement from the leader to calm us and keep peace in the streets.. Day 4 feels like we're at war...every one is fighting over supplies but what for? They'll keep coming but nobody listens and i just saw a fight over some bog roll,shit, we're not in prison. Day 5 everything's gone live...the Prime Minister said some of your loved ones won't survive. man alive forget all the plans for all your public gatherings... shit even the football's been cancelled. Day 6 people getting the shits no reassurances just wash your hands and don't expect a medic. Yeah we know we cut 18 thousand beds but now our private health buddies can profit from this pandemic. Day 7 another statement from the PM avoiding all the issues just asking if people believe in heaven. and whatever life meant to them give thanks and pray that you won't lose ur loved ones or if you do we'll meet again one sunny day.

Home Tonight 05:13
It plays like that and you gonna see Then tell me what you really gonna want to be. out ur face like that u still put up a fight. don't really want to go home alone tonight. I just finished doing the dishes while i was there I be making 3 wishes 1 was incredible it may have been the edible that a friend gave me and then i seemed to forget it all. i let it all let it all all hang out my neighbours looked over like fire out it out. I said hell nah man im doing the dishes. and its only me here except for you bitches. now back to the wishes. what was my 2nd one. oh yeah i wish i'd told my nephew don't get a gun. and the 3rd one i keep to my chest rang up my ex....said...... all the best. I just woke up in the evening so i roll the dice. see what i'm gonna do next pick out a vice. drink until im blind and i cannot see so grab me some papers and roll me up some weed. or i maybe i'll just read or watch some tv. call up a friend never guess what so and so said to me. I rope a dope and let u win the fight like ali you know i float like a butterfly sting like a bee. Oh yeah brother thats right i'll take it there you ain't never heard music like this in the air. i know you got the answers but u need the right questions. Look around for the good people with plenty of suggestions. i had my hesitations but now i'm back in flight and i ain't going nowhere gloves on ready to fight. all these humans gone crazy n lost sight and i ain't goin out like that Cypress hill said it right.

Sign of your ways Signs of the end of days You say its the sign times Yours or mine? They talk about another diagnosed case, while i'm here in isolation sitting watching the chase, yeah im watsapp video calling family trynna trace the last steps of a relative haven't heard from them in days. Now the advice from the governments been replaced they're back tracking on the approach saying the science has changed, man this kind of double speak is bait intertwined with impending doom they broadcast it straight to your base I got another phone call from my work and they're saying, 'We're still open where are you? come and get your government bracelet yeah. we own it says here in lower case of your contract don't watch that put this mask on your face. And get out there do it for your country. Oh you're not keen okay well here's your redundancy. we begun to see a pattern begin to emerge the kids are immune but the ones in their mid 50's there's a surge and they can still work for another 15 years so get out there and become part of the herd community cheers. get some gloves and a face mask too. now look up at this camera need you eyes scanned are they green or blue. DNA and cut a bit of your hair from you now your fully indoctrinated now watch yourself out they calling it the kung flu and we're about to hit the top of the graph sponsored by mcdonalds calling it the mcArch while the army Marchin' through marble arch and i start to gasp trying to ask for a test on my symptoms But they ran out of testing kits for my arse while i was at home watching the simpsons, man this shit's relentless and it won't relinquish any of us anytime soon no time to check any mentions. Unlucky buddy. guess you got here too late. yeah it sucks but u can still walk and this really can't wait. Anyway focus look here's some paracetamol go take them to that tent its a makeshift hospital its where they lost them all.. ...a load of over 80's. it's now full of all the pregnant ladies having babies. and there's traces of covid 18 its different coz 19 updated 20 grew resistant to soap and then fucking mutated. 21 is the new strain coming next year we're streaming the countdown on netflix and amazon joint premiere its more of a warning we're trynna not scare its population control david attenborough's narrating it yeah. okay.

Lockdown Town city police all around Time at the bar loading up the round One for the road go for a ride Call your family n friends We'll see them On the other side i stand here as a reflection of man claiming that i care and saying that i do what i can but my reality is i keep having get back up and worried coz don't want to be just a flash in a pan. also question all the things deep within my dome. looking inside trying to dig out those nuggets of gold. also now i know that this way of life is getting old anxious about this earth coz things are getting out of control. oh no. where did you go? one minute you were there the next i found myself out on my own. didn't know what hit me but i stayed glued to my phone kept writing everything on my mind whether positive or a moan. had a few people around me to keep me in the zone. they know who they are no need to say they were like just gotta let it go i knew they were right but my pride said no. so i wrote a couple tracks smoked a couple sacks and re aligned my soul. Now the world seems done like its just about spent. its last dollar pound euro rupee or yen this is our final warning for us to change everything. maybe all of mankind's last chance to repent. kinda like when Busta did extinction level event This feels like pretty much.. all i fucking got left. But i'll record until my very last breath and bob'll sing the hook for you all like it's getting heaven sent. like we represent all the ones that moved on. life sped up too quick to even remember 2 songs its all become too long for the greats that past. bob marley david bowie prince and jacko couldn't last. oh philosophers and prophets rappers and are not just poets i know this coz i grown up on it but don't ask me to show this. its just how i've grown this rockin on the technics stacking up the system fuck up your neigbourhood whilst checking album credits.. And remember this is your fight All i'm tynna do it lay down a snap shot of your life. we can all have a path whethr your wrong or your right the truth is in the eye of the beholder but these vultures will peck you in the eye. Eye an eye. Eye spy something beggining with B next letters ob then of course its a G But now the earth is locked down. will you survive. Lets just stay down here til its clear signing out The Real Mr B

(Chorus) I know you want me u too but you Have to go i mean its true we're thru now leave me alone. Let's see if i can write through this. The impending anxiety attack that is coming nothing new its come on during watching a film and it's not the subject matter its just symptoms that are real. Stomach acid reflux then everything seizes up now im in bed waiting for the the dying feeling..yup. My brains working all around the clock, trying to make sense of everything..yeah i feel kinda fucked. But i'm told that i'm healthy as can be. Heart rate and bp are sitting there nicely. But the memo isn't reaching my brains m.o. it thinks we're under attack things sped up yet happening in slow mo. i can't seem to get a week of consistency. it finds either new or old symptoms persistently. and if i just accept it then i paralyse up, arms like lead i feel dead. like i said...yeah i feel fucked. alcohol is nice. the weed can be too. cbd oil turmeric all these things can help you. But the problem is still there, so is it papering over the cracks, i'm not sure what else to do. Anti depressants are pretty wack. but maybe i gotta do another course again. shut up and take the medicine Heavy yawning becomes a friend. and other side effects that are sent. nights or weirdness spent. dealing with a working life looking for something getting heaven sent. i'm looking all around me for the smallest of signs i still shooken from the fall i had from the tallest of heights. i'm talking mentally felt like i fell off a cliff but still working on this with bob tryin find the right riff. see me and music had a tiff fell out of love when id gone amiss but thankfully i i had mates that kept making that ill shit before long i started recording again.... And then... found i had plenty of fucks left to give. Now i'm thinking of bigger and better things for me to do. make beats on repeat and write thngs to capture the mood. grab a camera go and film the streets of London and prove that i'm here for a purpose my poetry's rude yeah i'll walk right up to the PM in his crib Talk about the conditions of how these homeless kids live. say there has to be a way that we can all co exist lets co habitate with workijg man and make small business big. give the tax loops to those that make a little a lot. give incentive to the next gen growing up don't let them rot theres plenty in the pot for war so can't we just stop and make a load from everyone coz they'll like it a lot. (Chorus)

Faces 05:27
(Chorus) We're alone on this earth as races and you're cold as a heart of stone but you don't have to look at their faces when their told that your not coming home. You daren't go and visit these places unless ur told to go and get their vote then ignore all the problems we're facing. Leaving people to feel on their own. (Verse) They said its okay if 200,000 die. got people praying pleading to a man up in the sky. where have our leaders gone well they were never our leaders. could never be compared to someone like martin luther or marley senior. all we have now is sponsored Mp's change their opinion daily to whatever the sponsors want to see. well i see me and i see you. Your not like them are you tell them it's true. we gonna find and carve out our own way of linking if you accepted your fate already then better i get the drinks in. what were your thinking what are you thinking. You wanna change the world don't be stupid you want everything on a plate. its useless. try compute this. they'll take your usefullness anyone speak out line the they'll want mute this. yeah i wrote this. yeah i produced this. lets take the time out to re evaluate the people that make this country actually great. they don't have to be your mate but they're their for you. looking after the elderly the vulnerable and care for you. (Chorus) (Verse 2) When the healthcare system is needed they get our tax money to feed it. but capitalistic dream will continue to bleed it.. from you. or to mention it worse this machine is like a vampire with an unquenchable thirst. always puts itself first. you're not that important but they need you to keep working so they can keep on importing. and extorting hiring orphans...keeping all the profits tax free offshore and you can't even afford your rent and the bills. you get ill pay some more for some medicine and pills but don't stop. you can't stop. the machine is taking all the time from the clocks. tick tock rock a bye baby you don't work 60 hours man you must be fucking lazy. no wonder u don't have ur own home or lady. also you must be weak coz we see you don't have a baby. see these faces on the tv on your telephone screens telling you to stop moaning things are better than they've ever been. but if you listen closely you can hear the screams in the night. suffocated souls too tired to fight. so let this be the thing that ignites that lost part of you that's inside. They tell you to grow up nah its okay you're alright. (Chorus)
