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

Never clicked play so fast In my life

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

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!!!!!!

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

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

My gosh. Chester, you are, to me, the pinnacle of UK hip hop. Symbolism, flow, truth, dark, light, flow... your raps have it all. Much love and respect. I truly hope you stay on this great path, safeguarding your inner peace and happiness.

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!!

I was really low today, drinking in the morning, smashin my house up, talking about doing a madness and somehow i found this. Your words speak to me on a level i cant explain. U are a poet man. I just wanted u to know that u saved me today and your words mustve saved so many other people. I hope u read this so can remember the positive effect u have in the world without ever knowing and all the people whos lives youve changed. Much love from somewho continues to be alive becuause of you

Thanks you, rise from the ashes we will, a fresh new forest will always grow with greater vigour from the nourishment provided by the remains of a forest fire. 🔥 🌲

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

This guy has been next level for 20 years plus, all hail the king 👑

I feel so blessed to communicate on the same spectrum at this human. I wish hope an luck for anyone that can't relate

Chester P - your in a class of your own, the GOAT true heavyweight talent above and beyond them all! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fam this is THE MOST INSANE verse I've heard in YEARS....FIRE. LIstened to you since I was a younger. The GODFATHER of UK Rap. Hope you all good man

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

Thanks for everything Chester, you're a true visionary. A life saver.

Yo Chester never give up!! you are one of the best rappers I've ever heard, you're so different and original with it, the scene would miss you forever. Forget those muppets that talk shit. People love talking shit. Focus on the positive people in your life. Would love to hear more of your music, the lyrics, flows, and beat are all 10/10. Just keep doing what you do, take your time with it, and keep your head up!! sending you blessings and positive energy

it’s meant to be hard. Everything up till now has prepared you for this moment. Crossing the abyss is perilous. It works out in the end ❤

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

So Cold. Legend in UK Music

Im not sure there will ever be a piece of writing this good ever again. Every listen makes it more impressive.

It pains me to see people I regard a high value to this broken thing struggle STAY STRONG BROTHER and you should be proud

Chester P, you are an amazing lyricist. I keep coming back to this amazing video over and over again. I love your lyrical mind, staying true, brave and amazing. I wish you all strength in the mental and emotional struggles you're going through!

Don't give up on the music man it's your legacy. You will get the recognition you deserve one day. Like many misunderstood intellects of the past who's works become the masterpieces future minds refer to.

You absolutely should be putting out music. Talent like yours needs to be expressed and shared. Big up to you from one stranger to another. This was powerful man.

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.

Got so much respect for Chester. Love this man. TASK FORCE FOREVER. Nuff respect! This guy's going down in history as one of the greats!!

we out here in a bad place too Chest. you put poetry to our struggle. these words moved something deep in me today and it's the same for many other true fans.

One of the most beautiful pieces of art ive ever heard. Aint to many real ones about anymore. Big Up Joey - One of a kind. Felt your pain at the end. Bless

You’re truly one of the best lyricists ever. I have been a fan for a very long time and you always seem to push the bar each time. So much respect for you bro, you give me the inspiration to start writing again! I’m glad you’re getting healthier, we’re always learning and growing, I hope we can be blessed with more music in any form from you again. Peace G x

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.

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. ✌️

Always love, made me sad. we all go through these tests in life. Love your music,your way of thinking, it made me who i am today. 23 years later and much respect.

You are a Light in the Darkness. Sending that Light back to You. Thanks for sharing

Hope you're well Chester. One of the best to do it. Stay strong, stay well and please release something. More people need to hear your voice. Peace.

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

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.

Fucking just drops 5.5 minutes of non stop incredible poetry like it's nothing. No chorus to rest or breathe. Respect mate. Stay safe.

Im still alive my shadow in the sun is proof. Love that and many bars

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.

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.

Brother, you are loved! As you well know, this existence is just a holographic representation of the reality of life! You words transcend dimensions… and i’m more realities than not,.. You are truly happy x

Be kind to yourself as often as possible.. words of a true king 👑 I'm going to be off now man. Really believe we should at least chat Love ya gutts

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

As difficult as the last 2+ years have been for all of us, it's been Chester's music that has got me through alot of it, I've gone through his and Task Force's back catalogue and there is something that is so deep, spiritual and soothing about their music. Sad to hear Chess has has been struggling too, but prey he is coming out the other side

Chester P cooking up the recipe once again. Once you stop giving a shit, that’s when you start living. STAY DANGEROUS 🙏🏻

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

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

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

I try and show at every opportunity chesters poetry to people that dint like rap and i make them stop and truly listen to what hes saying ❤ its not about being a gangster or rep its about amazing artistry snd truly honest and earnt skill he is so fucking good man this shit brings a tear to my eye like he deserves so much more than what life has given himb

A true wordsmith. chester P is such a treasure. so real and so raw. love live this king no one in any of these universes quite like ches.

Glad you're still healing. Everything you put out is a gift, stay strong stay true and keep moving forward.

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.

Never considered you a muscian but more of a poet, a modern day shakespear. Please dont stop, you spread genuine love and hope across the world and have touched many. Only that genuine love can combat the genuine hatred. If you stop then they get what they wanted and you will be letting the hatred win. You are much respected and loved person who we believe in and anyone on here would be willing to help you any way possibpy we can through this dark time

Such a Legend 👑 So Much Talent Hard to Beat 💯

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

Chess!! You already know man! Fills me with light and joy to hear the wisdom!! Love always Del 💡❤️💡❤️💡❤️

Salute from Poland, lots of love brother!

Now this is talent. Thank u for popping up. This guy is hands down better than anyone coming forth nowadays. Easily. Impressive.

That was so deep and beautiful! I'm glad that you're doing better! Unfortunately we are living in a fucked up world where haters are everywhere. They hate when you doing well, they hate when you are down. Can't win mate. As long as you are happy that's all that matters. Stay strong and positive. You have made my day with this video.

I’m sitting on the block with pagans, scorching orchids in the morning under constellations.

You're a fuckin legend bruv, we all hit hard times but the ending is what everyone anticipates. Your lyrics are next level and i idolise your energy. Keep doing you my man we got your back ❤

Chester P - your probably won't see this - but your literally the music to my younger years - i fucked up big time, a lot of crack, a lot of smack, a lot of booze, a lot of pain. I always loved your music, now i'm a 41 going on 42 year old bloke, got my first baby on the way, clean now, had to leave London. But want you to know how much I love you, I wish you nothing but goodness, stay strong my friend, you got this

grew up listening to you bro, you're one of my main inspirations. the reason i fell in love with words, the reason i decided to start recording. the guy i listen to when im down in a dark place. this was yet another masterclass in rhyme and rhythm.

Thank you for your artistry, it is well developed and heartfelt as ever Chester.

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

Like everything else you have blessed us with brother I can listen to it a thousand times over and still get goosebumps like it’s the 1st time I heard it. You’re a very important part of many of a folks life Chess Monster. Humongous respect. Massive love!

I found you only about 3/4months ago from a Jam Baxter ft and can not believe I never heard of you prior. To me you are the best artist here in the U.K and could compete with anyone from the 4 corners. I listen to you everyday since I found your music and will continue to do so. I was hoping that you would create some more tunes but if not then enjoy the amazing music you have already blessed us with. I appreciate you

Yo Chester I'm sure I speak for many. I'm so thankful for you sharing your talents. I hope you do what's best for you and understand your words are powerful and mean a lot! Surround yourself by those you can love and trust. Keep strong brother 💪

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

Amazing. Feel blessed to have stumbled across this. Peace

Bro, may your hard times pass. You’re an inspiration to many who have real love for you. It’s always the realest who have to walk the rockiest road and you are by far the realest to ever touch the mic. I have deep respect for you as an artist and admire your strength of character. You’re a gift to humanity and don’t you ever forget that. Peace and love.

Also man if you read this. Stay strong been on the same journey. Been listening to your tracks since the beginning. You're literally a inspiration brother. You've sculped so much in my life unconsciously through your lyrics and beats. Much love and stay on track.

Greatest lyricist UK hip hop has ever been graced with 💯🔥

One of the best to ever do it… respect Chester P

never stop putting out music you're loved by thousands!!! we all need this in these fucked up times!!! MFTC FOREVER AND BEYOND ps the beat is nutz!!

Bro...this is amazing...thank you for being so humble and honest...it's refreshing to see and hear from a fellow poet...Wow! 💪👏

Much love Chess. I've always thought you were the best lyricist out there. Sometimes it's needed to take a step back to heal. Hope you're doing well!

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.

ridiculous craftmanship.... STILL UNDOUBTABLY THE UK GOAT.
