here is my video for the #DropTheKnifeValueLife  campaign. big up Bellyman for the nomination.  Lyrics below:

We better be dropping the knives value lives I'm sick of hearing mothers cries another son dies 
It's like life ain't worth more than a pack of french fries 
But see I open my eyes to the history, where is this problem coming from? it ain't no mystery 
We started carrying knives to fend off  teddy boys and skinheads, 
now we're killing each other they got us looking like dick heads 
it starts with talking the talk now they're walking the walk til they're getting outlined with chalk 
And what they really fought for is worth about naught 
Rip Kiyan Prince, tried to break up a fight only 15 years old lost his life to a knife
Rest in peace Damilola Taylor stabbed in the leg 
With a broken bottle severed his artery to death he bled 
My girl's cousin got smoked mistaken identity said
They walked up behind him shot him in the back of the head 
I had people try shoot at me cut me hit me with a car 
over minor disagreements taking em way too far
So now I work with young offenders, from broken homes they feel 
Society values them less than mobile phones 
Single mums are tryna cope but their son is running wild 
it takes a whole village to raise a child 
guilt tripping em don't work take it from an insider 
On road a shank is viewed as an equalizer 
Too many bullies out there intimidating using size
so no wonder the youngers are putting faith in the knives 
Your saying fight with your fists don't you  remember Esco 
Got punched then his head hit the pavement now he's dead bro 
I used to roll with a shank when I was on street 
A few years ago I had a girl set me up in East 
Lucky for me they never had guns and when I pulled out my shank they got scared and backed off a piece  
Otherwise I'd be six feet deep,  
On my way home, I got pulled over by police 
The people who tried to jack me snitched on me but the cops couldn't find it let me go in peace
I said fuck it, allow rolling with sticks 
Cos life is too short to be wasting time in jail for this shit but 
too many man wanna walk with a blade like Wesley snipes 
But now they're locked in a coffin they failed to Get these Stripes 
Forget the guns forget the fists forget the acid and the knives
sitting down and talking it out with your enemy saves lives
Forget the guns forget the fists forget the acid and the knives
sitting down and talking it out with your enemy saves lives

relaxation meditation should taught in our schools 
Be very patient , peer pressure has been used as a tool 
To brainwash us with products that  desensitise us to killing 
movies and music and games that glorify villains 
don't think it has an impact? 
you're ignoring the facts 
Most of the kids I work with are listening to drill and trap 
Promoting killing each other, in a quest for a stack 
Lost children who were never taught to be men are strapped 
It's a recipe for disaster like simba without mufasa  as a man its so important to be able to cap
Your emotions so you can focus on conflict resolution 
Take ten deep breaths before you even think of using 
A knife forget the trouble and strife
Forget the hype 
Cos the pain and suffering caused ain't really worth your life
Forget the knife 
Forget the trouble and strife 
Forget the hype 
Cos the pain and suffering caused ain't really worth your life
