Dont Ever Become Homeless


Don't ever become homeless
Not in the UK
Because the charities don't care
If we got nowhere to stay

As long as their hostels
Are full to the brim
Then they don't care
Which is a sin
 
So we got to do 
What we got to do
To stay alive
Which is hard too

For we are up against everything
Out on the rode
So some of us become travellers
Living no fixed abode

Using our talents
The best way we can
To help ourselves
And our fellow man

As the Christians pray
Which is no good
But we got nowhere to live
In their neighbourhood

Because we have no local connection
Which is a shame
Even an artist like me
And Dr Geebers my name

Who walked the whole coast
On a homeless awareness tour
From being homeless
Oh for sure
 
Brighton to Brighton
Through all weathers
Which I thought 
Was really clever
 
To get a book written
To help homeless charities gallore
But to my amazement
It didn't open no door
 
Which pissed me off
And I was in News papers too
I was even on T.V.
So how do you do
 
For creating loose pebble sculptures
On 44 beaches
One awesome journey
That's left me speachless
 
So heres to the future
And heres to the past
Thats if it happens
Or bloody well lasts
 
But the real truth is
If it happens to you
Your better of dieing
Outside creating whats new
 
Because the charities don't care
As long as they get their wage
To go home to their house
And turn a new page
 
So the homeless person
He or she has to cope
By themseleves
You might as well give them a rope
 
As we mix with the wrong people
And simply try to survive
The weather, the temptation
Just to stay alive
 
Yet the cold gets to many
So they turn to drink and drugs
Some don't want to be noticed
So they become thugs
 
Others have connections
And become drug dealers too
Why because the system
Has failed them too
 
So they are better of in prison
Oh by far
Learning rehabilatation
Hour after hour
 
But when they come out
What they gonna do
The only thing they know
Is how to survive too
 
For the big money is easy
And gives you a great life
But if you get caught
Well that's sacrifice
 
Which is all worth it
If you go down that road
Yet some of us want to change
Before we explode
 
So we do great journeys
To help others too
Yet we are the underdogs
Isn't that true
 
Well this is life
For the down and out
We are better off dead
We cry and shout
 
Because we live in hell
Looking for PEACE
Until we go to heaven
When we die at least

So some commit succide
By simply having a hit
Because its nice to have something
So death don't feel like shit

Because it isn't easy
Living on the street
So rest in peace my friends
Even I admit defeat

Ups and downs


Ups and downs
Merrygorounds
Many people
With many frowns

Acting clowns
In many towns
Many people
Listening to sounds

So unique
From the street
Many people
Like to repeat

As a treat
As they turn up the heat
Many people
Lie and cheat

In school classes
To the masses
Many people
Wearing glasses

With backstage passes
As lightening flashes
Many people
Hearing drumbeat smashes

Along with trance
Making that stance
Many people
Simply dance

On the chance
From here to france
Many people
With world romance

To drum & bass
Of their face
Many people
Go to outerspace

In the human race
With the love of grace
Many people
Simply give chase

With untied lace
Which is ace
Many people
Simply imbrace

Hip-Hop rap
With a top hat
Many people
Fall in your lap

Splittity splatt
And all that
Many people
Talking crap

Along with R&B
Flowing free
Many people
Simply see

The rthythmic plea
Of the world at sea
Many people
Including you and me

You don't understand


You don't understand
What I'm gonna say
And you don't want to
Really believe me
Even though
We got our problems I say
I know
You didn't want to leave me
In the heat of the moment 
As the words came out
I didn't know
What I was saying
I just said it 
Without a doubt
In bed
Where I was laying

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

This is real life
And you could of been the one
But I got it wrong
How stupid how dumb
But you became what others said
But would I believe them
But now you have twisted up my head
So I had to write this down in pen

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Its not funny 
What you did
But life is surly better now
Now that you've got rid
Of that person that you hate
Which is flipping well me
And I thought you where my mate
And soul for eternity

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Who is the flipping mug
For i'm still here creating magic
And your now taking drugs
Oh fuck isn't that tragic
While I drink now and again
As I do what I do
Even though your a pain
I will always simply love you

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Maybe I should be doing the same
Enjoying life at its best
Which is no real big game
But i'm stupid nevertheless
Even though I wish you where here
Enjoying it all simply with me
But I told you to disappear
So I could simply live life free

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

This is not really funny
When bombs go off 
And you lose a child
So full of love
It wasn't my child 
That I did hold
Dead in my arms
That was pure gold
As flash backs happen
What would you do
I know for a fact
You haven't got a clue

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You didn't give me a chance
I got problems just like you
Oh what a big romance
I say simply true
Yet life can be cruel
In many many ways
And I have ran out of fuel
But true love always stays

Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Do it now
Before I see red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Dam it fuck it
I know what I said

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Peace on earth

 
Peace on earth
Is what we want
Putting things
Nice and blunt
In a way
From the front
As many people
Go on a national hunt
 
Killing everyone
That's in sight
Lightening up
The beauty of the night
Scaring everyone
Which is right
Spreading heartache
As they fight
 
On the battlefields
And in our house
Relationship break ups
Partner and spouse
With crazy things happening
With the touch of the mouse
Oh dear no
Someone's drunk the grouse
 
Then there's the dealers
Wanting more
Fighting their battle
Total hard core
So they beat poverty
While others score
Which is real life
That many adore
 
Until they get arrested
And o to jail
And don't get a chance
To even get bail
Oh what a waste
To no avail
But was it really
Or did they simply fail
 
Or did a grass
Grass them in
For trying to better
Their life's with sin
Hoping for a future
To simply begin
With words flying free
From the rapper within
 
Showing their anger
In the cells alright
Hoping their words
See the light
Getting out to the masses
Each day and night
To be released
Straight on to the mic
 
Which changes their life
Simply for free
In a way
That's meant to be
Because good can come out
Of bad you see
And make people stars
For eternity

R.I.P. Lea Williams


What goes round
Always comes round
In a way
Of leaps and bounds
Even outside upon the ground
Only ten fold
It shall be found

As you get attacked
So what the heck
In a life
That's a simply wreak
Which is true make no mistake
Only ten fold
Then comes the wake

For your dead
Totally brown bread
It's not good
Through the life you've lead
Which is true so it's said
Only ten fold
And now your dead

Unless you survive
And stay alive
In a world
Where you strive
To be the best with pure drive
Only ten fold
To really thrive

Yet you know
The ultimate blow
Is when your mistaken
So here we go
As people try to stab you so
Only ten fold
In your sleeping bag though

Or simply punch
With a crunch
And kicking you
While being staunch
Even though they've had their lunch
Only ten fold
Through some hunch

That you are them
So they do it again
And if your zipped up
No good my friend
Because you've no way to defend
Only ten fold
To the bitter end

Or your shot at
Oh what a rat
Even though
You did what
Killing you or maybe not
Only ten fold
In the life you got

So it is true
What would you do
Per tact   yourself
Now wouldn't you
Because that's what you got to do
Only ten fold
On the street it is true

Yet my friend
It is the end
Never to see you
Ever again
Yet these words I write and send
Only ten fold
Will remember you my friend

R.I.P Lea Williams

This man was a homeless person I knew and was a wonderfully generous person who was trying to sort his life out.
The the most horrendous thing happened which would scare any person homeless or not and happens to many homeless everyday. 

Love you man

I see you a looking at me


I see you
A looking at me
As you walk down the street
So fancy free

Completely freezing
To a degree
Yet I'm in a sleeping bag
Yes it's me

As Many people
Have shopping galore
And all I want
Is an open door

With no money
Oh what a bore
I wish someone
Would give us a score

To help us out
Without a doubt
It's my birthday
I cry and shout

Even though
I own nought
I truly know
What life's about

So I write out
These crazy rhymes
While hoping for
Better times

As I look 
At the moon that shines
And start thinking
About creating crimes

To simply survive
Out on the street
This is life
I must repeat

In a way
That's totally unique
Even though
There's not much heat

So Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
I hope you enjoy it
Without any fear

Along with your wine
Or pint of beer
As you go around
Spreading your Christmas cheer

I was living in a doorway


I was living in a doorway
Writing in rhyme
Having a crazy birthday 
At Christmas time

Feeling all the magic
Along with Frenchy too
And little Marley
Who where homeless too

Even though it was freezing
Steve came along
Along with Polish Gabbie
His partner who's strong

All cuddled up together
To take in each others heat
So we could all survive
Simply on the street

Now this is real life
In a place no one should be
Now thank you my friends
For being there for me

Even though I had no money
And was completely on my ass
They came along
Which was first class

Because they love what I do
And what I create
And said one simple thing
Which I can relate

And that is no one
 Should ever be left out
Even though we have nothing
We know what life's about

And that's helping each other
 Which brought a tear to my eye
 Yet this is street life
Which is no word of a lie

For no matter your religion
 Colour or race
 The small things in life count
As we try to find our place

Yet some have addictions
 Which covers their pain
 Just like myself
With no one to blame

Only I found my answer
 Through art and rhyme
 Which has changed my life round
And could help others in time

Could You Do


Could you do
What we do
Everyday and night
Even though
I like a drink
As I simply write

From the heart
From the soul
In a passionette way
To say things
From the street
While living day by day

For these words
Come so true
To everyone for free
Even though
I sleep outside
In a way that's hard you see

With no roof
Of my own
What would you do
If you could not
Simply afford
To pay for one too

Would you write
Crazy rhymes
As people walk past
And if they want
To hear one
Then you simply say it fast

Shocking people
To the core
As they smile at you
With freezing hands
As you write
Those words from deep in you

And if they give you
A little change
Eor saying it for free
Then you know
Your on your way
To be a poet to be

As you walk by


As you walk by
Looking at the sky
Remember me
And ask yourself why

As I smoke my fag
In my sleeping bag
Remember me
As I take a drag

As I sleep on the street
Writing words unique
Remember me
I must repeat

As I drink my beer
To improve my career
Remember me
Do you hear

As I ask for money
Oh yes honey
Remember me
Isn't it funny

With no I.D.
Or benefits you see
Remember me
And my words for free

As I do what I do
Like a busker too
Remember me
And I'll remember you

As I hear what you say
In a sad way
Remember me
I'll be famous one day

As I won't quit
No not a bit
So remember me
Where I sit

In a doorway
In Brighton today
Remember me
In a crazy way

With no local connection
What a reaction
Remember me 
With satisfaction

As you walk by
Looking at the sky
Remember me
And ask yourself why?

Money money money


Money money money
Is what we all need
In this life
If we want to succeed
Yet on the street 
We fight and bleed
From those who don't care
Oh yes indeed
Yet as I write
These words without greed
I understand
Those that lead
And that's the rappers
Of a dieing breed
For there the ones
That always take heed
To many things
From a blossoming seed
Yet have the power
To always get freed
To carry on
Oh yes indeed
Even if bloodshed
Is not agreed
For it's their hood
Where they feed
Which many respect
Oh yes indeed
Yet on the street
A stranger will plead
We got to live
To try and succeed
While stepping on toes
So we can feed
In a different way
Oh yes indeed
Yet sometimes it's true
We never take heed
And become the victim
Of a dieing breed
Because money money money
Is what we all need
In this life
If we want to succeed

We Have To Say What We Have To Say


We have to say what we have to say
As we live life from day to day
Getting moved on in a crazy way
By security oh oh yeah

In freezing temperatures out on the street
Writing these words I'd simply repeat
Not knowing why so turn up the heat
Yet this is life so don't admit defeat

Just carry on the way you are
Doing what you do to take you far
Who really cares about legal power
Because you know your a rising star

Flying high way above the sky
Doing all the things before you die
Knowing it and it's no lie
Going to prison is legal why?

With illegal crimes committed for free
So we don't have to beg you see
In a way to beat poverty
Oh yes baby it's the way to be

Unless your an artist on the road
Having to live no fixed abode
While carrying a big heavy load
As your brain wants to explode

Yet with no money what do you do
For many an artist breaks the rules too
And with no I.D. simply on you
You can't get benefits which is true

So I write my crazy little rhymes
While thinking about better times
In the future without these crimes
That come out quickly in many lines

Giving you all pleasure simply for free
As a poet or artist to be
In a way that comes naturally
Well this is life on the edge you see




You walk past me as I write


You walk past me as I write
On a cold cold crazy night
In my sleeping bag isn't that right
On your way to a bar tonight

Yet I can't do this with pen in hand
With no money you understand
Even though my life's not planned
And I'm an artist who is dammed

Who lives out upon the street
And needs to beg to make ends meet
Breaking the law which is neat
While looking for that special treat

Until that day I can say
Thank you to those in a crazy way
Who walked past me oh oh yeah
And didn't care hip hip hooray

Yet when I asked some simply laughed
While others did help as they past
So what the heck this poems daft
Yet thank you to those who helped when I asked

Living In A Doorway


Living in a doorway
Doing what I do
Hoping for something
Totally really new
That will give us a chance
In life so true
That people will remember
When we're dead too
Yet the drinks taking over
And the drugs as well
Oh dear no
It's a living hell
As people walk past me
Not giving a dam
As I sit and write
With pen in my hand
As others sit and beg
With dogs by their side
Smiling at everyone
With all their pride
Getting loads of money
With benefits too
Yet I got no I.D.
And I'm out here too
Doing my thing
To hopefully survive
Yet I am nobody
Except a bum that's alive
Now if I make it
Then I no what I'd do
I'd rather give money
To help talents shine trough
So people can rise
And show their talents to the world
Like all the buskers
So come on boys and girls
See through the Armour
And use your wit
And help out the buskers
Simply make it
And who knows
Where they may go
Around the world
From the gutters they know
To be someone
And not a bum
Says a busking artist
Who enjoys fun 


There was a young drunk on the street


There was a young drunk on the street
Who really had smelly feet
They where that bad
Even the rats where glad
He went to the shop for his treat

Firing Up Body And Soul

 
Firing up body and soul
With pur excitement for all to see
As monumental journeys end
In a way thats meant to be
 
Yet hard times bring out the deamons
Caressing our minds and spirits alike
Showing us no matter the weather
We got to stand we got to fight
 
To beat those tempertures below freezing
As people walk past day and night
It's not good with heavy breathing
With aches and pains we hate alright
 
Along with all those stabbing headaches
That come from those who simply laugh
Even though they have a home
Or should I say a comfortable gaff
 
Then there's those who look for trouble
With a glass bottle in their hand
Hoping that we'll be their punch bag
Until we get up and simply stand
 
For sleeping bag we cannot zip
Because death can come simply for free
When lighter fuel is poured upon us
And we're lit up like a christmas tree
 
Then theres those who spit in our face
And call us all the scum of the earth
No much wonder we need something
Or someone to show us how much were worth
 
As some of us stand and beat the pedos
So children can play with smiling face
And we are proud to go to prison
To protect our youngsters of the human race
 
Yet it's not easy being an artist
If your scared for sleeping out
With no I.D. to get benefits
That is life without a doubt
 
So we are better of in prison
Yet we can't protect our youngsters there
Now tell me that street life's easy
Says a poet/artist who really does care

There was a young drunk on the street


There was a young drunk on the street
Who had really smelly feet
They where that bad
Even the rats where glad
When he went to the shop for his treat

Living The Life Of A Poet

 
Living the life of a poet
And a sculptor too
Out on the open road
Can be very hard to do
 
Even though you have words
And your materials are free
It is really hard to survive
Especially down by the sea
 
With really heavy winds
The snow and the rain
Then there's those people
Who try to drive you in sane
 
By setting you on fire
Or beat you up as well
For they want what you got
In words that they can sell
 
Yet you got to survive
No matter the obstacles ahead
Even though you know
Your better of dead
 
Some will hit you with hammers
Or stab you in the heart
This is real street life
That happens after dark
 
Yet if you have no money
What are you going to do
Would you break the law
To survive would you
 
While trying to live the dream
So you can get of the street
To carry on your art
Which comes out so unique
 
Or would you lay down
And drink yourself to death
Or even take drugs
To your very last breath
 
Or would you simply squat
And hope for the best
Even though you got no money
Well this is life's real test

Survival

 
When your feeling all the things
That no one understands
In a life that you live
Yet you've never planned
 
As the people walking past you
At the side of the road
As your writing in your sleeping bag
While living no fixed abode
 
Hoping for a proper meal
Instead of can in hand
Even though its real freezing
Upon this very land
 
With Christmas simply over now
Please have no fear
For everyone will help you out
After spreading Christmas cheer
 
Yet you have no benefits
And try to keep yourself clean
Even though many others
Want to treat you mean
 
With no Identification
Its even harder too
This is real life now
So don't think it won't happen to you
 
And if it really does
You'll find it really tough
For you will have to fight
To hold on to your stuff
 
For others will simply rob you
As they fight for survival too
Out on the streets
Where death can come for true
