Frontseat Freestyle – Spee Six Nine

He works a lot with his long-time friend beatboxer Bigg Taj and together the duo bring a unique sound of Indian influenced hip hop beats, Spee's witty, metaphorical punch line raps and Bigg Taj's fresh beatbox style to the stage - a live show which makes them a hard act to follow.

"Lights pass me by I dream of future days. 
Scrap thoughts when the words don't suit the page. 
I must of sat on every seat here at a different time. 
Contemplating where my life's at as I hitch the ride. 
I should have knuckled down in school I could have hit the highs. 
I burned bridges cus my younger had a vicious side. 
A poor family so the rich tried to victimise. 
Committing crimes just to eat wasn't dignified. 
Am I doing the right thing by my family. 
 Most of us will miss out on our life for a salary. 
The boss got you thinking like Micky or Malory. 
If love is the drug then my hearts a shooting gallery. 
Day dream as I stare through the dirty glass. 
I've seen myself In different forms as my 30's pass. 
I've pictured possibilities and plotted every path. 
A whole life shortened down to an epitaph. 
My money's gone before I've got it just to pay the bills. 
If I could take away your pain with love I'd throw away the pills. 
No matter what we do we think we could have done some more. 
We always battle through our life nobody won the war. 
Nobody's beaten death not even if there sweet at chess. 
We let the stress just pile up on our plates like an Eton mess. 
You need to practice more then others just to be the best. 
But never fill your belly till it burst before you feed the rest.  
Ooorrrhhh. I suit the mood I'm in. 
But never let it get too much it's all a game whether we lose of win. 
Keep your best foot forward on the path you chose. 
I dream of dancing in November rain like Axel Rose. 
The future fast approach there's things I'll never get to do. 
The worlds a heavy burden need your helping hand to get me through. 
Don't ever let nobody mess with you or choose to fall. 
If you can't see a way around then you go through the wall."
