'I won't tap out' by Ahmad Abdullah

'I won't tap out' by Ahmad Abdullah

Wrap the cord around my cord

Buried with vocals within my neck

Enslaved I am to the music lord

My voice a path to earn a cheque

So I will eat them, my words

And drink with it my struggles

What little joy my soul affords

My eyes shall seal as it toggles

Within the vault of my skull

A slave to the groove always

Every veins narrates a story

Afloat a river of sweat that says

Only time will unveil my glory

For I’m not dead, never

I only reside, underground
