No Dog (In the Race)

In between silence

Playing in your mind

But you love violence

I’ll seek and I will find my peace with you

So good bye, Good night

I got no dog in this race

So why I’m still running in the fast lane

The same friends that call be my last name

Be the same ones that want me last place

(I think this is my last race)

Still I got no dog in this race

But i’m in love with the chase

Today was peak but now i’m dealing with shame

Like all addiction the escape

Eventually is a cage

Sleeping agents self destruct

Once we speaketh the phrase

Scanning skys booking temporary stays

I’m in my Peter Tosh phase

Nursing grade spilling on the house

Self doubt still arises

But i’m facing it down

I kept my feet on the ground

Coz if a storm came to London right now

Nuff man would be flying around

And if I gave them half a chance

I would be halving my days

Felt like Drogba what a fucking disgrace

I drop my shoulder gave the keeper the eyes

The opps were shocked but they were’nt surprised

We don’t compromise with agents and spies

That like to pander to your face

Sit and plan your demise

Plus a friend to everyone an enemy to himself

I saw the signs from the start but it was written in brail

I got no dog in this race

So why I’m still running in the fast lane

The same friends that call be my last name

Be the same ones that want me last place

(I think this is my last race)

And I got no horse in this fight

But tonight’s one of them nights

When i’m ignoring advice

I wandered all my life

But i’m still yet to arrive

There’s no point in second guessing

We both know that i’m high

Im on search for a wife

Between attempts at failed connection online

Even the algorithm gods do not favour these odds

I reject finishing last although in dealing with loss

Playing with snakes and crocodiles

Will have you paying la-cost(e)

I got no dog in this race

So why am I still running in the fast lane

Old friends that call be my last name

Be the same ones that want me last place

I think this is my last race

I learnt the game but didn’t learn the lessons

I lost some friends once I stopped the Yesses

This is my souls confession

Most man my age are in severe regression

Awake each morning and count these blessings

Fighting unseen depression

Notifications didn’t read the message

Probably someone finessing

I lack compassion sometimes but I maintain the essence

My last album i went to space

I was with George Jetson

But I came crashing back to earth

Due to some poor connections

And I committed crimes I cant even mention

Coz life will always come second to survival

And love trump logic when you need it the most

You always told me to be real till it’s your feeling involved

Is that Nature or nurture

In past lives I buried treasure where the ocean meets the sky

Just for my ego and pride

I’m off balance navigating through these enemy lines

But when I die give me Valhalla

Put my sword in my right

I got no dog in this race

So why I’m still running in the fast lane

The same friends that call be my last name

Be the same ones that want me last place

I think this is my last race
