(ExP)
Yo...life is a tough crowd/
Writing this stuff down/
Might be enough - found/
Light in a good sound/
Brighter than a t-shirt after a Daz challenge/
Nicer than revenge feels after a back stabbing/
When... I’m feelin pushed out/
Might need a dust down/
Wipe off my stuck frown/
Smile and look up, proud/
Proud to overcome summat I can’t manage/
Or just the getting off my arse that pushed me past average/
My bad habits are my tendencies to relax, cabbage/
And let time keep running fast while I stand passive/
Feels like I can’t grab it but I know I can/
A positive attitude is the difference between an addict and a sober man/
And as it is I’m hopeful that my happiness can cope with that/
Savage little voice within that tells me I’m not worth a damn/
...but it’s hard to convince it/
I start and begin with art it’s my instinct/
I have no issues with you if you can’t really dig it/
Cos it’s mine and a part of my thinking, I can’t take it back/
A little wisdom written in lyricism over a fitting rhythm/
In any case everyone’s inner monologue is borderline stark raving mad/
We’re...all the same, we put all our blame in other people/
But equally endure the flames/
Of our own self criticism that calls us names/
But there’s still nowt to lose and all to gain//

If life is a tough crowd, I'll put my foot down /
Push through regardless, and won't stop, I could count /
Best friends on one hand, each step is vital /
None insignificant, none less insightful /
And the sun set int final /
Been on this planet twenty eight years, its time to /
Make summat happen, I shoulda started sooner /
It's only in the last few that I've been living true to /
My own goals and dreams, though it's hard to compute the /
Lows that we go through, Andre said reboot her /
Now you back on / time to graft for your passion /
Don't worry 'bout nothing else, gotta crack on, stand strong /
Cos although life doesn't last long /
The lessons that you've learnt can be passed on /
To those around you, and you've chosen who surrounds you /
This is the part where you define what you amount to /
Say you're gonna do summat, don't let 'em down dude /
Need to hit your target, tap circle - you've found shoot /
You might know nothing 'bout Luke /
But he's tryna stay positive and pass it on to crowds who /
May understand every sentiment he's putting forward /
Keep pushing forward, don't get stuck in auto-pilot /
Coasting on this funny island, cause a change /
Cos there’s nowt to lose and all to gain //

Fantastic showcase of talent and great addition to the MJM family! Thoroughly enjoying the whole EP. Great blend of Jazz and Funk samples any true Hip Hop head would enjoy! Be sure to get it! hiphopcurator
The album itself JAZZY , though sad . Yet no too bad at all . just for the right mood
good quality recording.
