Cote d’Azur

IMG_2939Ici le soleil nait.
Il est reconnu et recompensé
Par tant d’artistes célébrés
qu’il n’est pas près de s’arreter

Matisse, Renoir, Chagall
louent la beauté
de la lumière enchantée
qui brille sur la mer fraiche et azur
dans chaque baie
Menton est adorée
a Cannes on est impressionés
A Monaco très gênés
a Nice chill, relaxés
Lorsqu’on visite c’est pour de vrai.
On est pas prêts d’oublier
les reflets sur mer dorée
les cigales dans la lavande des près
la pause gouter
en haut sur les rochers

Rap waiting on a beat.

So here I will be writing up some of the different raps/spoken word pieces I have created so far. Rap really inspires me and I really enjoy coming up with rhymes and lyrics that echo the culture around.
These just come in the mo with the flow. 

So if you wanna give it a go….I hope these texts inspire your flow,

give rap a go…and enjoy a laugh as you do yo

Learning time

You’re such a tool You bloody fool,

why don’t you go to mutherfuckin school?!

They’ll try and drill shit into your brain

And it might feel like a mighty pain

but for sure it won’t be all in vain

unlike countless knifewounds spilling blood from a young boy’s vein

Getting onto that learning train

Its gonna leave you with mental strain

But its all worth it in the end

When you can help to heal and mend

The bullshit of society.

See through the haze, Focus your gaze,

And bust out of this outdated societal maze.

Learn to be free

Yo u think I can’t make it

Well I’m gonna break it,I’m gonna make it, I’m gonna take it, And then I’m gonna shake it

It’s not always those you expect who inspire you

to move on to the next level, of who you are, what you do.

It aint only all about you,

Help others find their way too

“nothing and noone can define you, just you”

inspire people through your ideas how to shine,

expand their mind make the most of their time

 pay it forward but dont forget to charge a dime.

No more waiting around

Yo MC Mathi Mat is here to drop some phat rap

This shit is gonna make you go braaaap braaap

You’re such a waste Of my time and space

Get the fuck out of my face

I dont wanna think of you no more

dont come knocking at my door

Theres so much that I wanna do

and i cant if i still really like you

You helped to inspire this flow

Which is gonna be the apex of the show

But now you gotta go go go!

Sharing Joy

I wrote this poem in my mind on the fly, walking home from meeting up with a friend. We were both quite upset and emotional and I wanted him to feel better. So this poem came into my mind. I wrote it to him on watssap and he immediately responded, saying he thought it was really good and he liked it! It felt great to be able to (jointly! as he inspired the poem completely) make something positive and creative out of this difficult evening.

It does the job of cheering me up and will hopefully do the same for others.

Sharing Joy

The moon is stunning

You are super fun loving

You make people laugh

And that's a great start

To building connections

With humans of all nations

-April 2018

Because of how positive I believe this poem is, I also decided to share it with the community of people who suffer from OCD and  who make use of OCD Action’s various high level resources to improve their well-being. Here is the link to my post and the poem which has been published on OCD Action’s website. Please take this opportunity to read other work made by OCD sufferers that showcase our creative community’s resilient spirit.

Thanks!

 

 

Rap for Conor

RAP FOR CONOR
This here rap is for my main man Conor
He knows what its like to blast off a hola
he does it everyday to all the pretty girls he sees
He loves to get to know and appreciate the ladies

His stomping ground for now is South West London
Wandsworth, Tooting, Fulham, watch out rest of London!

He bobs up to you and lays on the charm
surprising you with his cute left arm
and all the words, ideas and jokes he tells
in her Majesty’s English which he speaks so well
