Just made a simple beat last night so had to make a little rap song about bad times, good times etc. You might not like it but I enjoyed making it lol.
V1
The biggest influence in my life was my mother
6 years gone and I still can’t delete her number
Named me after Steveland Morris so I’m Stevie in case you wondered
Scattered over the south downs that’s where she is now
Always my biggest fan so I know she'll be proud
I can still hear her telling me to turn it down
Cos I was in my room supposed to be revising and takin notes
But I was too busy drumming on a biscuit tin to hall n oats
Now she’s gone oh I, oh I, I promise I won’t cry
but i’ll never let her go until the day I die
She loved music, she even got me into rap, truthfully
When my sister lauren was staying up the hill she’d play me the fugees
So my mentality is no woman, no cry
Ready or not when it’s your time it’s your time
It’s killing me softly writing this rhyme, still I’m sittin in
a big German whip
yeah a 2 litre diesel
but f*ck that I’m not here to talk about cars
I got my brush, pad and easle
I’m an artist
part time guitarist
yeah I'm useful on the keys
With no salary
So I’d like thank you for visiting my gallery
Let’s take it back
To the latter years of school
It’s parents evening
Mum n dad chatting to my English teacher miss Hall
She said I’d be lucky to get an F
But what do you expect when you did F all
Very different story from my PE teacher cos I could ball
I was in Brighton’s youth academy
Should’ve been an honour but it saddened me
How it made the other kids mad at me
I had haters, but that’s jealousy and envy
Tryin to break my legs but to my face being friendly
But I always had my day ones there to defend me
Trophy cabinet was far from empty
but drinking, partying and girls were there to tempt me
so I gave in, football career in the bin
still I’m sitting in
a big German whip
yeah a 2 litre diesel
but f*ck that I’m not here to talk about cars
I got my brush, pad and easle
I’m an artist
part time guitarist
yeah I'm useful on the keys
With no salary
So I’d like thank you for visiting my gallery
It’s fair to say I’ve had my ups and downs
Who hasn’t, this is life, you can’t beat it
I been on a seafood diet where I just see food and eat it
Gaining pounds but they just fell straight out the pocket of my jeans
And into a fuckin slot machine but forget that
I’m over 2 years clean, washed my hands of it
Got a grip on things now I can handle it
But understand this shit, it’s not all doom and gloom
Man I’ve had some great times
Should be in prison if partying was a crime
So I’m droppin into jiggy mode
Sprinkling that stardust like Ziggy so
It’s time to let ya know
I’ve been all round the globe
Abu dhabi, Greece and mexico
Ko Tao, Bangkok and Phuket
Let’s not forget phi phi, prague and spain
Gotta watch out for malaria
Were’nt worried about that bartending in gran canaria
Got lost in lagos once nothing scarier
But now I’m settled in Wales, I found an area
To reside, passionate people, full of pride
Different town, same ride, cos I’m sittin in a
a big German whip
yeah a 2 litre diesel
but f*ck that I’m not here to talk about cars
I got my brush, pad and easle
I’m an artist
part time guitarist
yeah I'm useful on the keys
With no salary
So I’d like thank you for visiting my gallery

This is dope man. Loved every line. And the beat is my kind of old school. Your mom is definitely groovin to this! I think the ones we lost can still hear our music…those vibrations transcend death, because similar to life, death is an illusion. Well done dude! This goes hard in the proverbial paint

Steve, this is awesome. That trumpet riff really knits the song together, very cool musical motif. And thank you for sharing the life memories, Particularly the ones at the start about your mum, and that line about not deleting her number - that's so beautiful. I'm also now well impressed you were at Brighton's youth academy, bet you're still pretty handy in a five-a-side!!

Rad! With that accent and the harmonies too!

Hey man...You stole my rap genes..You got yours plus mine!!! A double dose! Love this. Fun & entertaining with some top notch lines. Too many fantastic lines to list. You got the goods!

I love the old school flow on this. Really clever concept for a song - musicians are artists, so extending that to a gallery is really creative. I also loved the lines about your mom and the origin or your name
