Mouth Cancer

Written By Mr ShaoDow

HOOK

It’s the kinda thing, It’s the, It’s the kinda thing,
You could just ignore, just ig, just ig. just ignore
It’s the kinda thing, It’s the, It’s the kinda thing,
You could just ignore, just ig, just ig. just ignore

It starts off with a chronic sore,
An ulcer, numb tongue or a swollen jaw,

It’s the kinda thing you could just ignore,

But those small cells ain’t so small anymore.

VERSE ONE

It seems like it’ll never happen,
Mouth cancer a concept further than Saturn,
So you sit back, safe in your usual pattern,
While a small gang of cells start to quietly fatten.

This health stuff, man you don’t buy it,
So you smoke, drink and keep a bad diet,
A dentist could help but you don’t wanna try it,
And those cells have nothing to say they stay quiet.

HOOK

It starts off with a chronic sore,
An ulcer, numb tongue or a swollen jaw,
It’s the kinda thing you could just ignore,
But those small cells ain’t so small anymore.

VERSE TWO

Where will it attack? You can make your choice,
Is it the mouth? Throat? Will it take your voice?
Not a joke, not a lie, the death rate is high,
Nearly every three hours someone else will die.

So would a life style change really be so mad?
Would a trip to the dentist be so bad?
Listen to my words man, cos it’s more than banter,
Think what you could lose, if you had mouth cancer.

*POINT OF INTEREST*

This song was originally written as a poem for the Mouth Cancer Foundation to raise a bit of awareness about a very serious illness. As a rapper, the thought of losing my voice permanently is very scary.

This was the first time I’d ever written a song by learning and absorbing a load of information and then transferring it all into my own words. The charity liked it so much that they adopted it as their theme song.

Check out The Mouth Cancer Foundation Website and make sure to make regular trips to your dentist as that’s the best way to catch early signs of mouth and throat cancer.
