A dragon never hides its wings. 

most won't understand how great he really is...those multis and the delivery...the context and metaphors, crazy wordplay...absolute top top mc

If God dropped bars

Here’s the lyrics for all those interested in poetry Im an orphan absorbed by this death defiance where the daily breath of life is my next alliance on the prairie of forever with a new horizon euthanising all emotions still attached to dying disentangling the circuitry of rapture crying out from the tracks of triumph crippled limits in the traps of Zion holy spirits trying to clap for science metaphysically endorsed by the next appliance extra piously enticed man I’m back to basics chasing ghosts in a tunnel full of actors faces senselessly advancing on the statures paces manufactured by the fractured places where tomorrow never happens till the moment turns its back and chases after mysteries hidden in the sacred mazes hatred raises up its arms for the killers theme lifting bloody heads from beneath a rusty guillotine this is life as we know it in the modern ages the cores rotten whispers of forgotten sages down trodden by the system of inoculation no resistance from the mystics of approximation hypnotised by the clocks sedations I stand timeless in the shadow of the rulers of a toxic nation what a Price we have to pay for the life of kings I rise above it cos a dragon never hides its wings I’m Letting of fire in the mazes Stuck on yesterday until I’m facing its replacement hating on my virtues and the time it takes to shape them I am caught regardless in the darkness of my statements taste the vapours of the spectres of the paper chasing raised in sectors of the matrix with a taste for hating on any thing that may resemble all of fates creations I take creation and destroy it with a sacred patience recreational destruction is my occupation tribal spacemen lost within the urban stages I’m shamanic dodging doctors and inoculation I slap religion out of bibles and indoctrination geometrics mathematics and approximations flower children growing from the shattered paving disillusioned sitting on the block with pagans scorching orchids in the morning under consolations there’s rosters of creation where the plots are vacant sculpting mobsters out of shadows and the rocks their breaking chasing dragons through the caverns with their lost relations where truth unravels in the fathoms of these consternation’s Haunted nations taverns where we juggle panels there’s double barrels full of struggle in a thugs apparel shitty creeks peaking with a muddy paddle loves enamel drug mules and bloody saddles I’m staying heavy for the sake of it Life’s a gamble the sTakes are what we make of it Transformation rise up and take a bit sleeping dragon be careful don’t awaken it Im still alive my shadow in the suns proof I begin to try demystify the untruth Blistering on desert sands a single grain Im naming every stone turned Over By the devils hands Rebel clans Searching for an inch of fame Flashing lights Systems of a scriptures claims Grip the bottle tight Swung against the authorship Maiden voyage through the oceans full of richer waves Temptations thorns dismantled by the misbehaved Sticks and stones in glass houses where we scrimp and save Throwing glances at the answer to the sick depraved laughter that is heard within the darkness of the pictured caves true ellipsis eclectically eclipse my shade Where I find the true fixtures of the hidden grades Forbidden glades Searching for a colder climb Overheating self defeat in my sober mind To all degrees their sleeping on a bed of stories They saw a map and felt they understood the territory A bunch of rhymes Self designed to describe myself A bunch of lies they designed so they can hide themselves No parallel apparel of the dead and gory this ride to hell is free wisdom isn’t bred for glory The rose is red The prose reversed the soldiers dread I’ll stroll through heaven Like the devil wasn’t told I’m dead I stroll through heaven like the devil Wasn’t told I’m Dead The hidden gold is never carried cos the soul is led reverse alchemy None of us are concentrating Yin and yang The marriage wasn’t consecrated Ultimatums in the hour glass Motivating movements of the shifting sands of time are on the road Sedated hand signals no virtue for the Virgin Mary sister Magdalene resisted by the serpent early in the book of life erasing all the births of Seth Dead canaries in the mine shaft of a certain death I am worth the attention you should pay to hear intention over ritual Habitually I shake the fear free from underneath my skin and speak it to your Aching ears I shake the spears of destination that Satan fears Deafened by the vacant cheers I felt the hatred as the stakes appeared Greater than the snakes and peers Forever young in the square trying to shape the sphere Looking back at yesteryear Amazed that I’ve made it here Man it’s been a couple months without the taste of beer DeFacing all the faces in the shadows just to make it clear I am just a moment as I hustle forth Stranger than the fiction Being spoken by a couple frauds Shuttled by the utter force of karma into struggles jaws I am simply human i am nothing more My imperfections are the beauty of my life’s capers Fuck a couple flaws I am like a sky scraper Whipping angels into shape with some fly paper I Take a moment to dissolve Into divine vapours Then revolve around the surface of my minds craters Time takes us ragingly and ageing Underneath the heat the path of healing is unwinding underneath my feet Sleepily I find myself patience as the streets repeat The same notions The stillness became motion Self Distilled by the keepers of a drained ocean

A Jehst and Chester P album would blow anything else out the water thats ever been put out. Wish you well Chester

“They saw a map and thought they understood the territory” that’s a proper important statement. ✌️

Never clicked play so fast In my life

Chess you probably wont ever know how important you are to some of us brother. I really hope from deep down in my heart you're continuing to heal. Stay strong, youve been there for me when i needed and you you'll never know how grateful I am for it ❤️ MFTC!!!!!!

You do you, stay strong. I’m sure I say this for all the true supporters, we hope to see and hear from you again soon. Muddy4life.

Chester p will always be number 1 for me! Not only the sickest MC but also the realest dude there is! Please don’t stop putting music out bro! Keep writing through the hard times, use it to vent and when you feel like it, bless us with another album!!

Inspirational penmanship. Palpable weight of each bar. Surely with hardship comes ease. Bless

By witnessing one person go to the next level, we are all elevated. When the ashes have burned and the dust has settled, you'll rise again P.

Since the day I found your poetry, you have been one of my favourite artists of all time and I truly believe one of the greatest of all time. I say repeatedly to people how Chester P is the new age Shakespeare but it’s even more! Never stop brother, your teachings will last forever

Chester man you really r amazing big up brother I feel the same you r the man

Such a Legend 👑 So Much Talent Hard to Beat 💯

Nobody dose it like Chessmonster! Chess the poet laureate of the people! My guy just effortlessly drops some of the most visual and creative bars I've ever heard like its nothing. Man could drop a EP of his throwaway bars and be some of the best shit you've ever heard. LOVE

Legendary. Came back since Wha Blow. Got it on white label. Been 25 years a fan. Big up Chester.

People one day will look back, and realise, chester p is was and will ever be, 1 of the the most complex and skilled rappers to ever live. The lyrical substance is absolutely beyond talent.

Smouldering gently ready to ignite

I've been a fan all my adult life, hope you're doing good Chester, hope you can hit us with a few more of these every now and then. ✌️

Excellent. Keep doing this please. Kids need to learn.

Great to see and hear you again Chester. Only when we're in our darkest place do we force ourselves to explore the corners of ourselves that we never look into and through that find new strength, perspective and then rebirth. Take all the time you need. Wishing you the very best.

Glad to feel this... shivers... tysm! be you man! thanks so much...

Jesus christ, been listening to chester for about 12 years of my life. This has to be the best verses I have ever heard. Great beat aswell. Please keep making music. You and your brother music got me through addiction in the past. That was amazing

Thanks for sharing man. Keep doing your thing and stay strong you've got all of our support bro

Sad to hear you've not been doing well, but happy you're maintaining and fighting through. This was incredible to listen to, thank you for sharing it with us.

I feel every word ,the emotion attached...I too have felt hopeless,thanks for your honesty Love to you brother 🙏

Only just come across you man, been listening to your tracks all night, love it, truth spoken so beautifully.

"Time takes us, aging underneath the heat" 🔥

Holy shit, Chessmonster. That was fiiiiiire!! Thanks for putting this out. Please stay strong and get well. Stay clear of the haters. They can't touch the magic in your brain.

Dam Chester p this is next level stuff lyrically smashed it mad respect Midlands UK .stay strong my g ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sharing this far and wide, mad people got love for you and your poetry brother. The buzz from all your live shows through the years will never leave me. Stay strong. MudFamTF4Life

This gets better every listen.

It is a projection...you know it. Awesome words put together here, and I sincerely hope it resonates and helps people to relate and feel part of a movement that is awakening. It's difficult to see what is going on in the world and not to absorb.. it's not selfish not to though, it's imperative not to!! We can climb out of the mire, we can spread hope and we can vibrate at a frequency that counters those that would seek to divide us...They love the despair and confusion they see in us...They know it's hard not to be brought down by it. We should all switch off the boxes...be with yourself, stop trying and thinking so much, just do the right thing..we will get where we want to be so much quicker.

It's beautiful, your one the purest and most unique poets of our generation

no one comes close.... bare respect to this dude for actualy speaking about his struggle, i caught your 2hr interview with blade on the sofa... hit hard mate... we all have certain shit were dealing with and i just apreciate you for who you are as a person... let alone being the best mc to touch the mic....(in my opinion of course) im gonna need to replay this a few times just to digest the lyrics... all the best bro, and big up for speaking out... pure love

So glad this popped up in my feed after playing some old Task Force/Solo stuff. Feel like i've returned home, it's been a while. Still got the MFTC CD's and From The Ashes that i got from suspect-packages years ago. The poetry never left, hope all is well. I'll be replaying this some that's for sure, REFRESHING.

Big up chester, thank you for blessing our eardrums with another masterpiece, I wish you all the luck in the world, massive respect man

Different Gravy!!! Stay strong and true 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

much love chester, anyhting you do youll have my backing mate, will buy any album/ single/ merch. screw the haters, such a massive talent as yours shouldnt be hidden away due to outside influences. Keep producing and writing man, your poetry and wordplay is beautiful.

Thanks for this. Much love ❤ keep well!
