I rap, sing, write, may make beats. Work with MCfewree aka Kruxx www.soundclick.com/mcfewreemusic.htm www.myspace.com/scenictour, www.myspace.com/xdjs or www.
I'm Jon D Barker, and I write stuff. Most of this was written in 2003 and recorded whilst I thought battle rapping on the internet was cool. I wasn't very good and I probably still ain't, but I had fun and that's what music's about, right?

Lyrics
If a diamond is a sign of a dude's real friendship Does this mean we ignore the dude's life that ended Replaced with ease by glitter, money and cheese cheddar Not caring about their life cause my life has been better If the real meaning behind the track was education Then why no hesitation before defecating They say diamonds are forever, how you gonna match years The money don't grow on trees and people don't use their ears No-one shows through their fears if they care or just sneer Cause some man told them diamonds the wrong way to steer And careers disappear quick for those not from here Facing African conquest, just so and battles appear And reintroduce tension nobody can jeer But never seem to see the things I see clear If a war is effect and cause of distress All stemmin from the bling we hang round our necks And finger shine makes rhymes climb the charts But makes people drop dead from a poisonous dart Maybe contrast is hard to note in this charter But Lupe F, Kanye and Sean Carter Already addressed this topic so much harder They got their minds set straight, I'm just intelligence's father aiyoo stop i'm liftin more bodies to the sky, sacrificing just to match society financially and fit in stray bullets always hittin targets that i made bodies broke like nuclear fision bonds that i break a coal miner missin in the bottom of gas lakes mockingbirds stop jockin ya, workers are tamed or workers or shaved of dignity then displayed as example to the people who betrayed every trait i rate every mate i find on scales of one to ten sell each ones soul, cuts that hold position like a diamond, forever gashed bold hopes dashed, sold, cisterns and pistons are split, shit, just listen, the prism he's listin' above, is a vision a dove, pure of livin, the thug life is missin cause white rights were tight, sight was always existin but checked back, insistin to clear up the mess-set we realised the arrogance of the past, disrespect the absolute blindness we hid, without kindness thinkin we could cause wars abroad ain't divine its difficult to find somethin right with what we tried to excuse but i guess we only learn from lies and find truth that blinds youths, sorry, I discuss or try Yoda received more mola - yes money - for a sci-fi Than we give in aid, we give them AIDS instead of help And if we aren't hurtin Africa, we're making ice caps melt Being British is a status you're born with, but the past is Something I leave as the past, but don't ignore it We learn from mistakes, how empires cause desire Which will burn hell fire upon those born to respire And retire within the same decade of their birth, right Their birthright being that fatal beings really hurt, right Work right ethic punched inside of ones mental state Dental cases identify the body of this fragile face A war isn't a war for reasons of righteousness Religion is used in vain, sex sells etc... I digress I express concern that capitalism, dominance and pilfering Exalt above the fact that all are LIVES Yet set them for KILLING
