Hercules

24yrsold King of D Rd living in D Fast lane making runs 2 a beat while dealing in the street im,a building empires for men feeling what money’s like spending cash 2 no end Porsches in the driveway motorbikes in the sun thought I’d won the race before D race had begun. The beat gets heavy as I make my way across the levy goin down Hixson Road the rocks Sydney Dec 04 Eriething slow motion the world goes black. SMAK I open my eyes can’t feel my thighs collapsed lungs ruptured aorta 2 litres of blood sitting heavy in ma gut every exit door was shut I think where’s Betty as I realise my intestines feeling empty hanging out shattered my knuckles snapped my kneee shin bone hanging by a thread I felt like going to bed I get a slap to the back of the head open my eyes 300 faces looking surprised at a man laying in a pool a blood his eye start rolling back Elvis crying Jack plz come back now in a hospital bed from that place where I layed dead thought 4R sure dead but God said no not today you got a date with fate as I knocked on heavens Golden Gate I turned back. Everything gone black like a heart attack. I say thank you God I know I’ll be back one day just not this day I remember doing the sign of the cross as I wake from what felt like a months coma i hear the doctors wisppa to my sister

that I need a year before I’m outa here. Heart skipped a beat as I work it out by God‘s will I get up and pull through did it faster than you could’ve ever knew this beast did it in did it in less den 28 weeks. Now I’m walking out of Sacred Heart’s Ward stronger than steel sharper than a double edged sword. I’ll never fall to My knees I’m stronger than Hercules i’m the moon coming out when you thought you’d blocked the sun you prayed for my downfall, watched me from the side but you can’t drown a man who’s already turned the tide. From the hospital bed to the top of the Crane you’re addicted to the envy. I’m addicted to the pain Then there’s Steve starchy with the thunder thighs, the shadow in my life always wishing for the worst while he’s picking at the bone jealous of my life,wanting all I have acting like a brother but his heart looking bad.

Now I’m working for his sister’s husband trying to keep it fair while he whispers in the dark trying to strip me bear. How you trust that cripple junkie dog. As he whispers all dat bitlness n fog

Steve, you dirty dog, Six months later offers me a job just to feel the power just to feed his own hate. “But Im Jack Magic” I make my own fate only 1 month later I’m a dog man he’s a ghost. Wasn’t working 4 him I was standing over him watching all his little power plays grow dim.

Im 41yrs old 26 surgeries deep, 17 injuries but I don’t ever sleep. Now iv’e had accident numba 2 and Steve,s tryna tell d boss I broke a finger. “Im just a pay-check linger.” Comparing me to a kid with a broken collarbone. Man. my medical record is a throne made of stone. I never fall to my knees. I come back stronger than Hercules, yeah.
