Welcome to the Here I post my most experimental stuff for your feedback and listening pleasure. Tracks that come here I wouldn?t necessarily compile an album with but they usually make it to a show or some kind of exclusive release. When dreams started to dictate that I develop my craft from page to stage around 2002, I started flipping through the back of my high school rhyme books. Pursuing a professional recording career meant a need for more studio experience which led me to many different people and studios; Hence a variety of sounds. I think that my different cultural influences are a strong selling point. While for a long time I have leaned predominantly on my western influences, experimenting with different styles, vocal arrangements and qualities of my voice have cultivated my sound to be more distinctive. Featured here on the training ground is mix tape 1 ?Ready or not?. Visit the for the photo albums, radio station and more?

Lyrics
This one’s for me and you 2002 we gone turn these grey skies blue Oh you thought I wouldnt say it, thought the radio would neva play Cos society wouldn’t ok it well here it is As I work my ass off as a middle class citizen society telling me I don’t exist Jamaica has only poor and rich well I know I that I’m neither So where do I fit in I believe that You want me to go unnoticed remain hopeless I work hand to mouth without nothing to show for it I’m not poor enough for my problems to matter And I’m not rich enough to make a call and make it happen I see you drive by in your fly ride I know that crime pays But who pays for the spoils of the rich and the utilities of the poor I do see DSS in the ghettos, round town girls uptown in stilettos Uptown clowns pushing the pedal to the metal Politicians f*** ing us and asking us for medals And the pot calling me a n*** from behind the kettle Aint nothing make my stomach settle settle Ayo biggup to ma n*** netto This is for my ghetto children not the ones that’s living in it But the ones that’s got it living in em This is for my warriors not the ones that start wars But the ones that’s gotta fight the odds This is for the poor not those that live beyond they means But the ones without the means to live Keep your heads up this one’s for me and you 2002 we gone turn these grey skies blue They say the tough get going when the going gets tough But what im knowing is when people get fed up they just cut Leaving home in the dust whaddup with the rush I thought out of many one people we’d trudge Through the struggle and the strives the days of our lives But the bold and the beautiful just leave us behind You can run to the edge of the earth youll still find Home is where the heart is where you’ll find piece of mind Running down the Jamerican dream leave you scarred Come to find out even there life is hard You wretch you spend the whole a it abroad Why you never send no money come a yard So the situation fate of all nations Rest on the shoulders of this x generation And I feel no elation cos even under meditation The words of our leaders aint penetrating To my ghetto children not the ones that’s living in it But the ones that’s got it living in em This is for my warriors not the ones that start wars But the ones that’s gotta fight the odds This is for the poor not those that live beyond they means But the ones without the means to live Keep your heads up, this one’s for you and me 2003 we gone set the still enslaved free © September 2002 Written by Trevor Thompson
