lyrics

Well look who’s back in the moment to burn up the mic
It’s Wilko Wilkes I never stop until it sounds tight
It’s why my tracks aren’t dropping every fortnight
That and the constantly changing pressures of my own life
I’m writing my rhymes
I’m setting my fire alight
I’m taking my time and I’m talking to talented types
I’m yearning to learn and I’m working well into the night
I’m spreading respect and I’m sticking up for the little guy
I was missing a vision until I made a decision
And now I’m churning out tongue twisters with ferocious precision
I’m living
I’m giving back to all the people who back me
I’m laughing at all of the ones who are only here to attack me
Whatever the weather we’re all gonna be in it together forever
But there was a time when I wasn’t feeling too clever
I never appreciated what my life was worth
But now I’m clambering up the mountain and coming at you with lyrical girth
My wings have grown I’m as free as a bird
And so I’m flying up into orbit and I’m circling the Earth
I’ve heard let go of modesty honestly I’m a prodigy
On a wandering odyssey mopping up etymology
I’m a storyteller and a master of timing
With conviction and diction
I’m never happier than when I’m rhyming
I’m not in the game of making outrageous claims
But if Eminem and Albert Einstein had a son they’d give him my name
I’m not just spitting platitudes my rap is cerebral
I’m an underdog with attitude like Eddie the eagle
I sting like a weedle
I’m as sharp as a needle
And I’m jumping over obstacles like Evil Knievel

Well they said you shouldn’t write a track without a hook
But I couldn’t give a monkeys
I’m ripping up the rule book
Coming up out of the darkness and making people stop and look
So if you’re lapping the lyrics up and you’re digging the beat
You’d better load it up on your Spotify and stick it on repeat
Or just grab yourself an ice pop
And watch a bit of Wife Swap
I’ll always be here
Keeping it going til the mic drop
