Ya Know I Always Find It... Funny...
When People Say To Me That... “ I’ve been Lucky ! “...

As If They’ve Gotta Clue...
of The Things That I've Been Through... ?!?

I’m OLD Enough Now To Know What’s FOUL... !!!
And To Know That Some Mouths... !!!

Should... THINK About...
What It Is They See In Other Peeps’... !!!!

Cos’ It’s BETTER To KNOW... !!!
BEFORE... BARING Your Soul...
About What You... " Think "...
About The Next Mans’ Sitch’... !!!

Is it LUCKY To Live Where Violence IS... !?!
Is it REALLY Lucky To Come From Money... ?

Because People Act FUNNY...
Like Bees WITHOUT... Honey... !!!

I DON'T Come From Cash Or ANYTHING Like THAT... !!!!!
I Come From A Place Where Luck Said...

... “Hey, your a lil’ too dark, to not be marked,
... as a threat to heads, who believe in nonsense !”

Like A Lot of What’s Said On Internet Threads...

Now That’s NOT Meant To Express Sentiments...
Like The Current ... US President... !!!!!

How Lucky Can I Be To SEE Him Lead...
Or To Be A Part of A Society...

Where Violence Leaks........
Into Our Young Seeds.... ?

Who Now DON'T CARE About Elders Welfare... !!!
So Many Suggest That I'm A... " LUCKY Gent "...

As If I’ve NOT Dealt With PRESSURE And STRESS... !!!!!
As If I HAVEN'T Been Sent To... " Psychiatric Heads "... ?

Because of THREATS That I DID EXPRESS...
When My Mother FACED Death... !!!!!!!!!!

Was It REALLY That LUCKY To Have A SICK Mummy... ?
And A Father Who Then LEFT...
Having Dished Out VIOLENCE... ?!?
To Her BODY... Mind and SOUL... !!!

It Seems That Folks DON'T Wanna Know …
How Things In Your Life REALLY DO GO... !!!!

They’d Rather DEFER Because They PREFER...
To Suggest That LUCK ... Has Made Me TOUGH... !!!!

I’m Tough Alright Because My Vibes DEFIED Hard Times...
So That I Could Live Life And Now Write Rhymes...
That Tell The TRUTH ... About Luck And It’s Moves... !!!

I’ve EARNED My Luck... !!!!!!!!
It Didn’t Just Come Like The Rising Sun... !!!!!

Is it Lucky To Have The Skin of A Man...

Whose DARKER TAN Can Cause... PROBLEMS...
And LOSS of Life When Police Are In SIGHT... ?!?

I’ve Been LUCKY Alright To ... NOT Have DIED...
When Police Have TRIED In The Shroud of Night...
To Suggest That I ... Have Committed Crimes... !?!

In FACT In The Day...
They've Behaved THE SAME WAY... !!!!!
Because of The Sight of My Black Face... !!!

Am I LUCKY To Be... ???
A Man Who Sees PUSSIES Run AWAY From Me................................... ?!?

Because They Seem To Think I’m... UGLY...
Or A THREAT To Them Because of The DEPTH of My SKIN TONE... !!!

HOLD ON There Bro Before You Try To Say...

... “ That it just ain’t so ! “ ...

Have You Lived In My Shoes... ???
If Your Answer Is NO Then I’m GLAD For YOU... !!!

But DON'T Think That It’s Cool...
To Suggest To Me That I’m A LUCKY Dude...

Or That I Have Been Blessed...
With MUCH MORE LUCK Than ALL THE REST... ?!?

If That Was The Case...
I’d See My Poems ALL OVER The Place... !!!

But That’s NOT The Way That My Artistry Sways ... !!!
Am I LUCKY To Relate Thought Waves That STATE...

A Wish For MORE TRUTH...
When LIARS Are The Ones Who CLEARLY Get Through... ?!!!?

Well My Luck DOESN'T Run Quite Like THEIRS Son... !!!!!!

I KNOW What It IS To NOT WANT To Live... !!!!!
And To Then RECOGNISE That THAT's... NOT So wise... !!!
Because You Have To LIVE LIFE And Give THANKS Sometimes...

But Just BECAUSE Things APPEAR TO BE... “ LOVELY “...
DON'T PRESUME That Your Buddy Has NEVER Been Hungry... !!!!!

You Can Make Your Own Luck But Some Get... “STUCK”... !!!
So Let Me Put This... BLUNTLY... !!!
THINK BEFORE You Speak Like A... " DUMMY "... !!!!
Because Some Folk Can Get... TOUCHY... !!!!!!

When You TELL Them That YOU THINK That....

They’ve Been.....

....... “ Lucky “ …….
