[Intro]

Big Brother Lew on the track

Life today...

[Verse 1]

Today be the topic of discussion

Delivery P&P, poetry and percussion

Mozart with this art, set apart from competition

Real life behind bars, but never been to prison

I'm talking composition

God level, only time my name in the same sentence as religion

Others use to excuse a bad decision

Live from the streets, say what I see

21st century, repeat of history, exception is technology

The human race, being lead by robots from second place

Some call disgrace to solution

Feeling better about their contribution to pollution

Warming up the globe, too close to home

Acid throws, that's what the club advertisement poster shows

Burning nose, burning ears, burning foes

Together they go, fuel and fire

Compromise highs with lows

Behaviours are designed by clothes and news shows

So far from where we came, but nothing's really changed

Always offended by what someone has to say

So I keep it vague talking about life today

[Verse 2]

Skip a chorus so I don't need a second introduction

Spit verses that double up as a set of instructions

Poster boy rap stranger, you can call me that name

Future hall of fame claim, blame the rap game

Treat the beat same, as a freestyle

Release bars, the style is free

Hip hop's black sheep

Dark horse out of the blue, leave you green with envy

Rolling out the red carpet too, that's complimentary

Shit was getting deep, so I decided to take a minute to speak about me

Surrounded by peeps that start a family just to sit them on your desk

Kids and pets, tattooed but never seen in the flesh

Ironically so is live with no regrets

Anyway, sticking to subject

More of life today, coming next

[Verse 3]

Here's some shit I see…

Hands in the air saying "please don't shoot"

One black left red and the rest follow suit

Damn

Lay your hand, everything put into dispute

We spend our whole lives in pursuit of the truth, but given another excuse

Are we free or let loose?

Dividing our circle into the duck or the goose?

Porch groups, it's easy to be picked off hanging with strange fruit

Tighten the ropes on your hands like a noose until I can't breathe

And it's all in bad taste

Let's cut to the chase, it ain't all about race

There's those who choose to abuse their position

The authority of authorities isn't to authorise our existence

We need assistance before we can only observe the purge

Nothing left to protect and no one left to serve

Before it gets worse, give back life's worth and value lives of the misheard

Rest in peace

Shoutout to the real police

That's something most find hard to say

But that's just how it is, life today

Life today...

[Outro]

Big Brother Lew

I told you it was a dangerous game putting a beat like this with my brain

Life today

I had to keep it vague

But maybe one day we'll go into it some more

Encore

But for now that's enough

Yeah, we out
