Game Of Schemes: The Bake Off...


The next post is quite different I want to attempt to showcase mine and friend's freestyle ability, I want to show how the mind works at rapid speed, to show you how it works mentally, I wrote everything below when I was out on the go continuously, I have not added the lines, I need you to trust in me and believe in me, I first like to thank one of my mentors and friends John Oli there’s no competitor that’s better, he’s one of the best lyrically, but this one I am leaving up to the public to decide who won, I want everything to be decided fairly and justly, but just to say whoever wins its all love be, because me and him wake and bake everyday, you can find us together needing that dough, in the bakery. I would like to add that this post is going to be one of three- four, part of a three- four piece post called the Game of Schemes:


(13:21)Alph Arley’s First Verse :


Leave a whole in your middle
                        Close you up fill you with jam
                        Shoot you with sprinkles
                        Headshot
                        Make your head top lean
                        Make it lets say come off Krispy clean
                        You got to be nuts though if you don’t like
                        My dough nuts scheme
John after you read
Come find me
Come find me in my bakery 

(13:38) John Oli’s First Verse:

 I’ve been through more dough than Homer Simpson my moneys long
                         You couldn’t jam me if you were playing NBA let alone
                         Shoot
                         I be the real bread winner when it comes to the loot
                        Your dough looks cute
                         When its compared to mine
                        Muthafuckers shouldn’t let me rhyme,
                        When I get a rating out of 10 its always 1 above 9
                         I spit bars non stop, I don’t have fear
                       My money grows your dough will always in the baker shop

                      *add lib* your going nowhere

(13:43) Alph Arley’s Second Verse:


See John your sweet
                        But seriously I will leave you with bars so sweet
                        That they will rot your teeth
                        Get some water John
                        Cus its my time to speak
                        Give you that o so special delivery
                        I'll hit you again with the dough nuts scheme
                        Look here see
                        Your bars are like a box of 6
                        Seriously what’s that to me?
                        My bars are like a box of 12
                       The difference between me and you can you see?
                       My bars are filled with cream
                       My bars are filled with custard
                       My bars are heavily iced
                       Even your girlfriend considers to be
                       Lets just say a quite exquisite delicacy



*add libs*
     
 its over

off the dome

tell her to meet me in my bakery

I just had to



(13:53) John Oli’s Second Verse:

       Your bars couldn’t even lock a convict up
Its not tight enough
Your cream and custard doesn’t have that special taste
Its not right enough
Now my first is quenched courtesy of Evian water
I asked my girl about your
Bakery she said you ought ta
Seek advice cus nobody ain’t interested
In your bars heavily iced
You need to come harder with the dough nut scheme
Ain’t nothing wrong with a vision but nigga do not dream
Of coming up against a seasoned pro like me
Coz I always swing for the fence like a big hitter you see


*add lib* off the top free styling



(14:01)Alph Arley’s Third Verse:


 See I not gonna come back with my dough nut scheme
Your asking why probably
See
It times to think bigger so I’m gonna come back
With the whole bakery
So let me ignite the flame up on blogspot
Lets see how you can handle the heat
In front of your eyes, your seeing me rise
Like bread
I know your impressed, you might shake your head
But in your heart your thinking
What's this kid gonna say next?
So let me increase the heat
And comeback with something at least
Lets say erm about 260 degrees
Seriously whats wrong with girls taste buds?
I put my hand up
Maybe my last batch of bars just didn’t weigh enough
So let me add flour
To give my bars that added kick
To give my bars that added finesse
To give my bars that added power
O shit is that the hour?
I got another batch in the oven
Its time to flip my stack, Jack?
How can I forget your name?
Jack, John, John Jack
Sorry my bad brother
Let me make it up to you
Heres a flapjack, its so sweet
Call it my little treat


*add libs*
 I could have kept on going

Its off my head



(19:04)John Oli's Third Verse:


     *add libs*
 ill be back homeboy

              Back from lunch

                     But you will be murdered


 The only time you can call me Jack is when I hit the road
I can’t even smell your cooking
So what’s that in your stove?
You can turn it to 260 degrees
Ill take it further and flip it 360
About here’s a flapjack like I’m gone eat
The food you make me g
I’m just warming up in 2nd gear I don’t need switching
If you can’t take the heat of 360 degrees nigga get out the kitchen
The only time your bars get kick is when you’re drinking a fake red bull
You couldn’t even come up with a formula to beat me
Even if you went to med school
Forget it and stop wasting time in the bakery,
A top rhymer is what the public already make of me
Ill let you pick you pick the next rhyme scheme

The Turning Of The Screws....

Me
PO BOX 636
Pit Street
Banstead
Surrey
SM7 3PH

 Dear You,


                       Do you remember when he called me from my cell and then he smiled to himself?
                            Then smiled to himself, as he held me, infront of the awaiting crowd?
                                  held me, infront of the awaiting crowd and yelled welcome to Hell?
                  Hell, with the Smugglers, Murderers, Molesters and the words Self-Proclaimed Hustlers
              The words Self-Proclaimed Hustlers, was obviously and indefinably self proclaimed
             Well ain't that a shame
                               I've thought to myself if only he knew, I've thought to myself maybe he was new
                     Maybe he was new in the game, maybe he was new in the game to make a name
                       Maybe he was new in game, to make a name, do you know what I’m saying?
                   You must know what I’m saying?
                              Well if that was seriously true, I can't stay mad at him or you
                 I can't stay mad at him or you, as i've thought to myself he’s just a cog, in the system
                  So hey, just between me and you
                                So hey, just between me and you, I don’t think he’s actually to blame,
                  I've thought in time he will understand, I've thought with a little more time maybe in time he will overstand
                I've thought with a more time maybe in time he will overstand, what it is to be wog, in the system
You know I felt his hands on my back applying the pressure
While he spoke, an fully excercised his strenuous supply of shit jokes,
In front of the awaiting eyes, In front of the awaiting lives
Using sarcasm and hand gestures at his leisure
At leisure as he inverted his own jokes with his own supply of inverted commas
You know I smiled
You know I smiled as he smiled
You know  he added, yeah we also got couple of armed robbers
You know I gave a shake of the head, I took a breath, put everything in retrospect
Put everything in retrospect, then thought what the heck
You know then, I smiled and said, in my best English accent
Said in my best English accent, why how pleasant
You know his eyes cried for respect, he took a breath, then grimaced, making his face look like death,
You know then, he smiled and said
And said, in his best English accent, I am a King
And said, I am King among you fucking peasants
Onto you, yes it is you
And you were the one
And you were the one whom said Son you look like one
You look like one
You look like one who sticks to his guns
But if only you would talk to us were offering you a free shot
A free shot at some nickels maybe, gold maybe
And if you’re lucky will throw in a couple of crooked coppers
You sat me down in my seat, told to me speak, but I honestly felt weak
I tried to confide in you, as you tried to confide in me
But after a while,
After a while, you know I smiled, then honestly thought for a while
Thought for while, then said fuck you, and fuck him,
Then you looked at me
So I looked at you, you had my attention in full view
So I said fuck yourselves and added
And added one of you is a fucker and the other
And the other an asshole,
Which basically, figuratively, speaking means
Means, I know one of you for the other spreads your cheeks,
I looked at you, you looked at me
I apologised through my eyes about the use of my lets say quite volatile vocabulary
Please believe, to you, I tried make countless apologies
You know then the fucker slapped the shit out me, slapped me out my seat, made me feel week
Literally, and figuratively, he
He flipped the tables right up and on to me
So why didn’t you speak?
So why didn’t you speak publicly?
Why didn’t you stick up for me?
Was it something I said, was it my not so spectacular venacualared speech?
I putting the truth on table for all eyes to see
Truthfully, and literally, he made me feel week, he made my heart fall from faith, with a leap,
I refused to sell out on you, but truthfully, it felt like at times you sold out on me
I got it you didn’t owe me thing, but it seemed to me, you were only in it for the curren-cy
That pushed me to scream, that you and him will see
You and him will see, yeah you’ll see
You know that’s when he screamed, lock it up or I will make you scream
I saw you give a shake of the head, which I thought maybe, meant, come on please, just speak
You know thats when, the fucker came back for me and said, in his best English accent
In his best English accent, said, come again
You Knew I was one who stuck to his guns
So you know, frankly, I just had say it again
One of you is fucker and the other,
And the other, an asshole
Which basically, figuratively, speaking, means
Means, I know one of you for the other, spreads your cheeks
If I told you please believe, through my eyes, I tried to apologise, countless times
Tried to apologise, countless times, for the use of my obscenities
Countless times, for the use of my obscenities, as he
As he, lined me
As he, lined me, in reach
Lined me, in reach, then, again and again, after he turned again and again
He turned again and again, if you remember right to you my friend
To you my friend, then he preceded to slap and kick the shit out of me
He made me feel week, as I attempted to drift off to sleep,
I felt it
I felt it, I felt his hits, shift, then start to split
His hits, shift, then start to split, my shit, as they ripped, into my ribs
Truthfully I felt my ribs, twinge, as I definitely felt the ribs, and my heart split
Well you and I definitely know all the crowd knows it
Well you and I definitely know all the crowd definitely saw him throw it
You eyes told me I can’t help you because your one that’s choosing to hold it
Through my eyes I tried reply don’t worry about I can hold the hits but vendettas I can’t hold it 
 Don’t worry I can actually see the funny side to it now, but at the time, it was straight monotonous
P.S.


Dear My Dear Old Friend My Time In The Block Is Coming Shortly And Slowly To And End, Yeah Surprisingly Coming Shortly And Slowly To A Close, But Just Want To Let You Know, I Ain’t Trying To Make Foes, This Letter Is Not Personally Against You, I'm Just Trying to Tighten A Couple of Screws Which I Thought Were a Bit Loose, Also Just To Let You Know, When I Get Hit, I Always Catch, But I’m Just Not In Control, Of When Or What Or Where Back I Will Throw, Just Thought Its Best Your Kept In The Know,  Lastly Let Me Apologise Again, As You Were There And It Looked To Me Like Through The Use Of Your Eyes That You Cared, So I Apologise Again My Friend, But I Know If He Reads This He Might, Might Like Ask For Them To Increase My Sentence Again, So He Can Beat My Black Skin Blue And Shit Out Of Me Again....



Yours Sincerely, Me….

The Journey Continues...

I honestly feel I truly haven't written anything substantial over last couple months. This could be me being highly critical of myself as usual, but this gives reason to why there has been a lack of activity on the blog of late. At the minute I started to question the direction I hope to take with my writing, but I have not lost faith in my ability and also my passion to write. The journey that I have taken over the last year has been quite unforeseen, but nevertheless the journey continues...

The Never Ending Story...


It brings pain to me to see
Literally, it brings a pain to see
A pain through my brain
A pain through my veins
A pain to see there’s no opportunities
No opportunities for black youths in the communities
But they wonder why
Why black youths, skip class and commit truancy
They even wonder why
Why black youths, tote, boast and prompt,
Guns, whilst running around and advocating lunacy
They even wonder why there’s a decline,
 In schools rates of literary and numeracy  
 They fail to take responsibility  
They fail to believe
 But they believe
Every black youth is probably illiterate before they begin to speak
You see their beliefs
Their beliefs are for all eyes to see
Their beliefs are probably new to you
Definitely their beliefs aren’t new to me 
Their beliefs are old news out here on the streets
In time you will realize
Don’t worry
I’ll give you time to open your real eyes
To the fact that all they do is
Sit behind their desks, counting thier cheques, scratching their heads
Failing to acknowledge the rise in gang activity
Let me make a public address about the public unrest
Well dear who ever this may concern, what did you expect?
When you fail to provide black youths with positive avenues and activities
Truthfully sometimes
Sometimes I close my eyes and think to myself why do they marginalize?
Why do they marginalize a community in the papers?
Leave a community in the margins,
They simply disregard our titles and where were heading
Sometimes I can only wonder why
Because it’s a story in the streets that seems to be never ending

Rap Roll Call...



If I remember right
I remember one time
One time
I watched a performance one night
I remember as I applauded
As I applauded in my head I performed my own instalment
My instalment about the difference between poets and rappers
The difference between real lyrical lyricists and real lyrical actors
As I remember on the night the poet had the audacity
The audacity, to leave out Marshall
I remember I shook my head
As in my head I said let me audacious and say
And say in matter of fact Marshall, Matters
Marshall, Matters and so does
Pac, Nas, Snoop, Hill,
Eve, Mell, Flav, Gill
T.i, Luda, Fiddy, Kweli
Def, Flocka, Soulja, Stalley
Salt, Pepper, Wale, Yeezy
Joey, Jay, Free, Jeezy
Run, Common, Cam, Kelly
Lux, Solomon, Mook, Nelly,
Ness, Tech, Diddy, Busta,
Asap, Gambino, Wu, Bubba
Brown, Cole, Remy Game,
Big Boi, 3000, Dre, Mase
I dreaded it
I dreaded it but I even added Wanye
I dreaded it
I dreaded it but I even added Chains
I remember in my head I said
Poetry and rap are intermixed
Chained together like two slaves
Poetry and rap are interlinked 
Every diss-track, Every E.P, Every mix-tape, Every album, Every internet leak
Matters
Its matters because in matter of fact
It’s actually poetry being carried on the back of the beat…

A Prophet's Block...




I’m
I’m going to
I’m going to build this
Build this story, brick by brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick by brick by brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick by brick by brick in the shape of a py ra mid
to ask  the question
What is   
What is a Writer's block to a Prophet's bricks?
Lets begin;  


Brick
The father,
The father gave the son,
brick, brick, sight to see, brick,
brick, sight to see something, brick, brick
brick, which others couldn’t see, brick, brick 
                                            brick,brick ,brick, then the father, brick, brick, brick   
brick ,brick, equip the son with a stick, brick, brick
brick, brick, brick, to part the sea, brick, brick, brick, brick   
brick, brick, brick, brick, to indeed, brick, brick, brick, brick 
brick, brick, brick, brick, to lead the meek, brick, brick brick, brick
brick, brick, brick ,to a world of freedom of speech, brick, brick
brick, brick, brick, brick, ironically, brick, brick, brick, brick, brick   
brick, brick, brick, it all started with a speech, brick, brick, brick, brick  
brick, brick, brick, brick, brick, with the Pharaoh, brick, brick, brick, brick brick 
It all started with a speech, with the Pharaoh, as the son began to plead, please let my people go,
brick, brick, brick, brick, brick, please let me people go Pharaoh, brick, brick, brick, brick, brick    
 brick,brick, brick, Pharaoh let my people go free, Pharaoh, let my people be at peace brick, brick, 
brick, brick, brick, brick, Pharoah, let my people be at peace, brick, brick, brick, brick, brick, 
brick ,brick, please, remove the chains, Pharaoh, from my people’s feet, brick, brick, brick, brick  
Please, remove the chains, Pharaoh, from my people’s feet, Pharaoh, it took strength for him to say,
brick, brick, brick, it took even greater strength for him to say, as he, dropped to his knees, brick, brick 
Farther, please, break these, bricks in front of, the eyes of my people, brick by brick, for they refuse to see
