BTD

Thursday, the 26th of March 2026. So one of the many tasks that, um, I, it's not necessarily a task that I've fallen massively behind on because it's a task that I've never begun. So when it comes to the music that I have put out there, I believe of the songs that I have out there,

2:50

there's 10 of them. One of those songs is called BTD. It's supposed to be, it's supposed to be an acronym for behind a deck. And there's a lyric in there, right? 

And there's a lyric in there. 

I think is the 1st 4 bars from that lyric. Before I started to go into it, the context of this reflection is like for the very longest time, because I realised that I tend to write in a bit of an abstract fashion in some way. 

Sometimes I'm not direct when I rap and I'm not direct when I put lyrics together, sometimes I can be a bit cryptic, I suppose, even though it's not something that I do on purpose. 

It's just something that, in a way, it feels natural to me, especially the, you know, depending on the way that I'm feeling and how I really express myself, which is something that I do. But, um, yeah, like, you know, I was supposed to start this whole lyrical breakdown because again, it's very important for people to, when I do deliver my music, it's important for people to get their lyrics that come with the music as well. 

This is something that has popped up a couple of times and I believe it's important and I believe it's going to be massively, massively valuable to my listeners, right? 

But yeah, to come back to the song BTD, there's a segment in the 1st 4 bars of the song where essentially like, you know, one of the deepest, I said, one of the deepest elements of that, that, that lyric and that structure is the fact that the world that I uh, started living in uh, back in 2004 when I came into, to the United Kingdom, uh, in Woolwich, uh, you know, Southeast London. 

What I would often see, and this is something that is used to see my parents do as well, like, you know, they're all going to work. 

Everybody is just essentially going to work. I mean, people of all, all races, but definitely, same class, same working class, trying to make the weak salary stretch, trying to make their weekly wage stretch so that they're able to feed their children so that they're able to provide for themselves and provide for their family, for their, you know, extended family, et cetera, et cetera. right?

And I made this idea, you know, this concept of time that, you know, you know, people need to get to a certain position by the end of the week before time runs out on them. 

Because again, like, you know, time is such a thin thing when you're working, like, you know, 40 plus hours, 60 odd hours. So it's almost like, you know, time is not an asset to use. Time is not valuable to you. 

So it's almost like time is running out. And there's a segment in there that I just really wanted to, you know, really wanted to mention and share purely because, you know, it's something that I haven't been doing and something that I need to do, but yeah, one of my many tasks that I need to pursue, um, in the process of me becoming the greatest rapperist of my own right.
