Light of Day - Al the Native, Dizraeli, M.anifest

I’m out here trying to paint stuff

Art every day it’s all straight love

Dark in the face plus

Certain man wanna tar me with the same brush

Lighten the place up

It’s all good if you wanna make claims up

But I. won’t be marginalised

When I wrote every line on that paper

Nurture my talents

Raise my spirit level keep balanced

My inner rebel needs challenges

Slip through the gates of the palace

Looking that guard in the face

One hand on my ballsack laughing away

Cause ain’t nothing changed bout monarchy

Straight up colony

A lot of our past ain’t great

But I like having women on bank notes

Nothing is beating the strength of a mother

Takes two to tango

And I’ve danced round the truth for that dollar

Been in the squalor, Been in a bit of the horror

Given me reason to holla

Try if you wanna, never will I have a collar

I take the lead don’t bother

Find me in a room full of thinkers

Social smoking.

anti socially drinking

Grabbing Life by the pincers

Shits all good to a person of interest

But somethings in my life have really got me thinking

I’m thinking maybe in a second I should roll…

So I walk like hawk eyed surgeon

Blade for a brain in city that’s dirt grey

See Kentucky Chicken eat person

See a kiddy eat grease for her birthday

See a mum with pram struggle up steps

Ten men walk past no helping

Bumped baby becoming upset

Mum with a anger well held in

Look

Big Pimp Daddy vapes on the corner

Look

Big Pimp drinks strawberry Evian

Look

Big Pimp Daddy misses his daughter

Big Pimp has a porsche called Kelly Anne

And the city does twist and belly dance

City does deal grief with a steady gaze

You stand in it tall and elegant

You make light from it all anyways

Make light when the dawn comes grizzly

One pound for a bowl of banana

Two eyes but we don’t see diddly

Self love is the ultimate answer

For the dark comes thick and fast dunnit

Love comes with a dicky heart dunnit

One pound one grand one punnet of plums

It dunt matter you’re a fabularse fuckwit

Whether Mazda Peugeot or Vauxhall

Flatcap furcoat or mothball

Torah Koran or Gospel

We are nutbags all of us oddballs

And it’s all to play for sunny

Not one of us here has a bloody clue

You go make your money

Just Make sure the light don’t fall out of love with you

It’s all in my head now

Life playing with my sense now

Just waiting for the light of day

Waiting for the light of day, yay

I spend my whole life waiting for the types of ways

To get my whole mind searching for the light of day

But it fills my brain

It throws me away

Broken bottles and ashtrays

Think my demons coming of age

I was not privy to the preview

But I think this living is staged

I still read the news in the dailies

Still dey carry bags for old ladies

But I went banana’s and lost my manners way back in the 80's

Hope is a drug, lovers and thugs

Taking a dose in the veins

Light at the end of the tunnel

Oh abeg I hope e no be train

Chale I dey for my corner

Selling my 2 cents for a quarter

Trying to feng shui my life in order

Get a new visa cross border

Hello to the Big Ben

Immigrant dreams ambition on ten

Naira, Cedis, Pounds and yen

Cause chale broke ain’t got no friends

Take out your purses in churches

You know salvation for purchase

Screaming hosanna hallelujah

Ching ching ching as we sing sing

I’m a survivalist seen the ghost with the bloody lips

In the basement recording this

Hope you caught gist

Just trying to make an art of this

Just trying to be an alchemist

And I think we can even though it might be sinking sand

Still find me a pot to piss

But it’s suffocating sometimes

Throwing tantrums and fits

I peep the future through a peephole

My cynicism really is needless

But i’m an artist I’m sensitive with my shit

Still wear my heart on my sleeveless

It’s all in my head now

Life playing with my sense now

Just waiting for the light of day

Waiting for the light of day, yay

I spend my whole life waiting for the types of ways

To get my whole mind searching for the light of day

But it fills my brain

It throws me away
