I Am Here

[Verse 1]
After a three year hiatus reading legislative papers
Taking no kind of favours, trying to get me on the A-List
I made it through the noise of my neighbours
Here to bring you the cadence
I’m claiming everything I’m owed, I’m a lyrical bailiff
Who gives a fuck if the radio decides not to play this?
I am done with complaining
Cos when it’s raining through the storm I am sailing
This is not a practice, not a drill, prep or training
This is real and I saying how feel
So I guess I wear my heart on my cuff-links
Every time I write yo there’s substance
The words flow with no reluctance, this my dictum, my judgement
Emotive in abundance
So I could never tell you I don't love this
Making music is not an encumbrance
It took me round the planet
The circumference, just like it was a conference
Where people pay me with nothing but compliments
Of confidence in my accomplishments, I am here

[Verse 2]
(Let me tell you what this is...)
This is my all day everyday
Back in the square ring, heavyweight
Bare-knuckle bruise, cause a belly-ache
Southpaw uppercut, don’t hesitate to detonate
Carter-Mathers renegade, call a paramedic need to medicate
Cos I am so ill cos I emanate from Hack area
Bacteria, now you say
The best in the UK don’t sound like he UK
But I cannot be kicked or be pushed, reference Lupe
Lyrically I split ya wig, I meat cleave your toupee
And spit so cold though I’m rolled in my duvet
A new day, a new dawn and fresh like a newborn
So tight need a shoehorn
You might need a coupon to get this
It might leave you restless
The nexus between now and breakfast
I still have you breathless
And my best is yet to come, I’m a veteran
The perfect candidate, fuck elections, I am here

[Verse 3]
I’m in my prime right now, I’m so alive right now
Rhyme nymphomaniac, there’s no depriving my wow
MC’s are car windows, I’m winding them down
I’m surviving the times, I arrived, I am proud
Like a Kindergarten baby eating sugar I am loud
And won't stop making sounds when there’s company, a crowd
This is Me, this is D, this is some kind of poetry
Vocally this is globally, locally hitting potency
Notice me irrevocably, openly with diplomacy
A diary of madness in my mind like it’s Jodeci
Hopelessly and emotionally, consuming like a grocery
But I just keep a dose of me close to me
It’s supposed to be hard
So it don’t matter if I’m broken or I’m scarred
I’mma still stand tall and thank God from my heart
It makes no difference if I’m fearless or I’m scared
It is only by his love I am... here
