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
Why must things be this way, I just don’t understand No matter how hard I try with mine I still wish I lived your life Hate myself everyday when nothing goes to plan No matter how hard I try with mine I still wish I lived your life Today I know my destiny and the journey that lies ahead of me But seeing obstacles don’t make it easy for them not to get the best of me My grey skies still aint blue got the weight of the world on top of me But still aint nothing stopping me Still pray still play lottery still say life’s way harder than it gotta be Still measure up these odds and take a pause Cos I know ill never get my grass as green as yours But I still wish I could live a life that would allow me To smile at life’s lessons though they outweigh my blessings Always stressing on the things we never have Makes us lose the things that we never knew we had And I feel bad cos there’s those with less And I say my cup is empty like I've no respect But somehow your smile Makes you look so happier with yours Why must things be this way, I just don’t understand No matter how hard I try with mine I still wish I lived your life Hate myself everyday when nothing goes to plan No matter how hard I try with mine I still wish I lived your life Woke up with yesterday I know I’ll never see tomorrow The only time is now but that’s a hard act to follow Can’t even chew to swallow All this pride this pride yeah Everything that glitters can’t be gold but how will I know Until I cut the path to the road that’s less travelled Can’t make all the mistakes myself But I brace myself with worries Unnecessary cos I shouldn’t stress But I just can’t seem to help it when I'm never at my best And my best at my worst of times doesn’t seem to count And my worst of times seems to be what my life is about But stop bitching keep pushing don’t fold Gotta brainwash myself so I don’t sell my soul And I’d sell myself for happiness cos my peace of mind aint happening… woah! Why must things be this way, I just don’t understand No matter how hard I try to get by I still wish I lived your life Hate myself everyday and nothing goes to plan No matter how hard I try with mine I still wish I lived your life
