People power, strength of the masses
Still get busy with the pen for the habit
A few dibby* little men wanna have it*
Sorry no time I'm saving the planet
Don't piss me off like Facebook tagging
I don't do this so I can start bragging
And I don't do this so my name starts banging*
But in time it will cah* that's what happens
I was on Kiss! Arms all wacky and waving!
Gassed up* by the grime
But more time I don't need inflating!
Now a few more grime listeners are rating!
Not no funny man tune man are making!
I'm trying to get folk saying I'm amazing!..
As long as I do it my way
I won't pet* to say that I'm not scared of failing!
People Power's what this CD's called
My talk's original; none of it's rebored*
This year's gone exactly how we thought
It would, that's why you don't see talk!
Man are like "what have you jumped in the scene for?"
I reply "I'm here to share deep thoughts
If you don't like it
Plank on a seesaw!"
If you don't like it, plank on a seesaw!
If you want respect, then stand on your feet more!
Don't try coming round man with your weak talk
You need to think of a plan for a detour!
I already know what'll come after this CD
You're seeing on-pointness when you see me
I ain't gonna rub it in, but it's Deep Heat*
You ain't fam, you won't get CCed*
Into the ting, won't get a bring hype all you want
Trust me, it's not a thing
Couldn't care less so I won't get stressed
You wanna act a mess, with me that's blessed*
But I'm still not letting man into our nest!
Say what you like, I won't be impressed!...

I'm never gonna hype online
If they're on their ting, then I'm on mine
Everything I'm saying on the mic's not rhyme
I'm reporting eloquently about life
That's the reason I'm saying I'm real
I talk what I know, I talk what I feel
Never did talk shit just for a wheel
To me all of that's never really appealed!...
...
That's just not the way that I roll
If that's you, you should have stayed in your home
See me, I make man screw face with the flow
Won't see a man start flaking, I'm grown
At game time, my great mind stays in the zone
And I see a whole lot of eyes to be opened
So I stay around many minds that are potent
I'm gonna give a lot of time to the motion
Rome weren't made in a day and all that
Right now man are like "why you saying all that?"
Don't listen if a man's trying to say I talk crap..
'Cos all that there's just fear of the truth
It's that time when I get near to the booth
Next man's tunes just gas up the youngers
Me I'm a make the path clear for the youth!

I'm a big, big fan of this record! I love the rawness, I love the diversity of the sound and the subject matter, I love the messages conveyed, and overall these are 10 tracks I thoroughly enjoyed. Kwam MC
Jake is a massively talented producer, his sound is very dynamic and crisp, and I'm VERY much looking forward to working with him in the not-too-distant future, when I sort myself the F out. Kwam MC
If you're a fan of Rocks, you're a fan of yourself. Always showcasing an attention to detail of sickening depths. From titles, to artwork, to lyrics, there are layers to unwrap and rabbit holes to venture down. The mangaka of music. A must get! Moteleola
