Game Of Schemes: The Season Finale Part 1

(August 1st 13:53) Alph Arley's First Verse :

See i'm kinda tired

Yeah I need to sleep

But look I see you be baring

You persistently bothering me

I swear you suppose to be older than me?

That would make you be one of my mentors

But it seems

But it seems the roles have switched

The roles have flipped

Schools in session

Whys your face look like your pissed?

Let me educate you John John John

John John John Oli

It's like you been stealing my flow

It's like you been stealing my bars

That I forgot to retrieve from lost property

I'll give you time to explain yourself

I will let you speak

But all you got to do is sit on the carpet

Raise your hand and wait patiently

Let me change the scheme

I like the word patient

So I will change you into a casualty

Your scans have come back John John John

Sorry to say this but they seem to be

Lets just say there a bit ill terminally

Don't worry I will give you time to be at peace

You think you got this in the bag

But you throw up a lot of shit

Colostomy

I'll break you, then ill fix you, then break you again

Physiotherpy

What did you say John John?

Speak up

Nobody can see or hair you,

Your talking bald

Chemotherapy

The suppa duppa flow

You didn't see it coming my flow was on ketomean

Look just let me overdose

Let my flow over flow

Let my flow start to comatose

But i'm not gonna milk these bars

Listen between me and you

I am lactose

*add libs*

Bringing you that work

Bringing you that work while your at work

Overtime

Overtime Nigga

(August 1st 14:35) John Oli's First Verse :

So you want drop the super duppa flow
O no he didn't
I'll always be your mentor Daniel son
Mr Miyagi
I'm the one who showed you how to wax on
The same guy that will show you how to put dax on
Daniel son you need to read the manual son
You can never switch roles and teach me what exactly
You know i'm not the type to just sit back and allow you to attack me
I can't be patient unless i'm spitting ill bars
There's little hope for your cures my flow like cancer
You say your bringing me that work like a student
Working overtime to show me why your the new movement
For that number one spot that I've had for so long
You cant catch me in this game so Daniel son jog on
You should be working overtime
English is you and writing is what you do
But you still find it hard to overcome this dude
But I got time for you
Even to drop some rhymes for you
If I went in overtime mode I want have time for food
Just keep firing like lord sugar in the apprentice
i bet you getting me to spit to teeth my bars for your dentist...

*add libs*
Barely trying
Spare time at work
Showing love for the understudy
I'ts all love

Paragraph about me:

Hi my name is Alph Arley and I know that your certainly pleased to meat me, because I know that I am certainly pleased to you. I am a 90’s US Hip-Hop, 90’s U.K Garage and U.K Grime head, with a sneaker addiction which I had battled for 20 years.

I am a performance poet, as well as a spoken word artist who was born and raised in Stockwell, South London. I started writing poetry back in 2011, and started performing my poetry in 2012, whilst I was studying at university. When I am not playing Pokémon on my Nintendo DS, listening to Rap, watching Rap battles, watching cartoons, watching footie, watching anime or reading manga, I am thinking and writing. In my spare time I also facilitate and deliver poetry, spoken word and rap workshops which are called ‘The R.A.P Programme’ to young people. This is in order to help them to gain a greater, awareness as well as understanding about the importance their individual voices, as well as to help them to gain awareness, as well as help them to articulate their thoughts and emotions.

How I get started with poetry?

How it did I get started with poetry? I would say my poetic journey subconsciously started in 94. This was when I was about 3 years old. I grew up in a two bedroom flat, in a four flat building in Stockwell with Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Puff Daddy, Mase, Dre Dre, LL Cool J, DJ Rob Base, Run DMC, Eve, Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, Wycleff Jean, Lauren Hill, Fugees, Eryka Badu CD’s being played on my Mum’s black Kenwood Hi-Fi, with two standing speakers.

I remember by the age of about 9 I had my own portable stereo in my bedroom and started to build my own Rap CD collection which included Eminem, Dre Dre, Ludacris, D12, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg. Like, I remember getting printed Eminem lyrics on A4 paper, as a present from one of my Mum’s friends, after that there was no looking back. I actually started writing both grime and rap lyrics in secondary school, but those lyrics remained in the drafts of my 6230 phone. I admit, I struggled to spit in time with a beat and the lyrics did not make sense in the slightest. In 2011, whilst studying at university, I remember scrolling through my Blackberry, writing my thoughts in my note pad. I would say that my life experiences made it difficult for me to express my thoughts and emotions, which led me to become frustrated adolescent. I started writing my thoughts down and I found it helped me to come to terms with my experiences.

What does poetry mean to me?

That’s a dope question. I would say that poetry means everything to me, as it has not only helped me to come to terms with my life experiences, but it has also helped me to use my experiences to help others. I have read so many books from different poets, like Pablo Neruda, John Keats, Allen Ginsberg, Phillip Larkin, Sylvia Plath, Gertrude Stein, William Shakespeare, Benjamin Zephaniah, Linton Kwesi Johnson. Poems such as ‘Stackolee’ and ‘The Signifying Monkey’ , which are two of my favourites. I would say that it is important that everyone feels that they have a voice to express themselves as well as share with others, as growing up I noticed many around me felt that they did not have a voice. I feel that poetry is an art form which can give all the young homies on the block, that lady serving at the tills in Sainbury’s, Bossman in the local corner shop, a chance for them to express themselves, as well as voice.
