While you’re SNACKing on your food, and increasing your waist,
I’ll be rapping on the groove, mixing beats with the bass,
in your face. Enjoy the taste, embrace the pace.
The rhythm that I’m living ‘ll be laced with the grace.
Next week’s random word: ARTIST
Strong first four lines this week. Could’ve left it there but wanted to go for getting that risky last line in. Really not meant to be rude or racist, it’s based on my work colleague who joked that I’m a reverse Oreo – black on the inside, white on the outside.
I look around and I see people who are MORALLY slack,
compromised in their own eyes, and often spiritually flat.
Numerically fat, their pockets lined, they’re happy with that
But I got higher standards in my life, as matter of fact.
I try to live my life right and Biblically exact,
I love soul and hip-hop, yo especially the rap.
Sometimes fat rhymes, I’m rarely lyrically wack
and people can’t believe their eyes when I’m not physically black.

I’ve now got an index page, with a list of all the random words linking to the relevant post.
Mainly so I can check if I’ve had a random word before, but also helpful if you’re really looking for lyrics relating to zebra!
You know that I can’t stop it when I drop it, hip-hop it
lace the track, I jump up off it, yo ain’t nothing gonna top it.
Lock and body-pop it, like Herbie Hancock Rockit,
outta space – telescopic – I’m ro-bo-bo-bo-botic!
So hot like the tropics, yeah you know I drop the logic,
with rhymes so microscopic, sweet like Sugar PROFIT.
Journey like The Hobbit, my rhyme-bank I’ll rob it,
kick and karate-chop it, yeah, now all y’all people got it?!
Next week’s random word: moral
This week it was all based around the 3rd line [which started out being the closing line] – the idea of having the dark secrets of your life that you don’t want people to see, which I think sometimes stops people from walking into the light.
You know that Jesus came to take away your burdens and cares.
Set us free and redeem us from our hurt and nightmares.
What’s the secret you keep hid, underneath the STAIRS?
Just release it, yo, speak it – a little truth and dare!
Next week’s word: Profit
Wanted to try and do something to communicate the scandal that is the offer of grace that God has given us, and at the same time finish by quoting Misteeq. Wasn’t too bad:
God stepped out of heaven, became a man for us!
But we nailed him to a cross and made him hang for us.
Turned it around, made a way, a plan for us,
His love and grace – so, so, so, SCANDALOUS
