Robert Adolph Wilton Morley, CBE (26 May 1908 – 3 June 1992) was an English actor who, often in supporting roles, was usually cast as a pompous English gentleman representing the Establishment. In Movie Encyclopedia, film critic Leonard Maltin describes Morley as "recognisable by his ungainly bulk, bushy eyebrows, thick lips, and double chin, [...] particularly effective when cast as a pompous windbag". More politely, Ephraim Katz in his International Film Encyclopaedia describes Morley as a "a rotund, triple-chinned, delightful character player of the British and American stage and screen."
Morley was born in Semley, Wiltshire, England, the son of Gertrude Emily (née Fass) and Robert Wilton Morley, a Major in the British Army. His mother came from a German family that had emigrated to South Africa. Morley attended Wellington College, Berkshire which he hated, followed by RADA. As a famous "Old Wellingtonian", generations of headmasters tried to contact him, without success, with Morley stating "the only reason for me visiting Wellington would be to burn it down". Morley made his West End stage debut in 1929 in Treasure Island at the Strand Theatre and his Broadway debut in 1938 in the title role of Oscar Wilde at the Fulton Theatre. Although soon won over to the big screen, Morley remained both a busy West End star and successful author, as well as tirelessly touring.
Hey yo, it's on, check my catalogue
Bully beats and share the songs
My kush strong I cut along
That gravel road, I travel along
Miniatures, y'all minimal
I kill them all, I finish all
They checking into my history
They found out I've been involved
... is with me, you fucking with me
Want me gone then come and get me
Can't hold me down, they know me now
Over grounds, over clouds
I'm too focus, you hopeless
Thinking now I might go move forward
They got 20 20 I'm a visionary
No dose, still picture mary
Boys say he too changed
I booze that, turn blue black
They heard this, like who's that
I put new school, that boo back
I'm moving out, turn it up
Till someone's saying that's too loud
I'm too hot, I can't cool out
... move crowds
My destination is top of the world
Top of the world
... I'm cold hearted, no die fear
Maybe different, my pop's here
Turn it up, no vouch here
Cheaper cloud my thoughts...
Still drop jewels, the chosen one
Like OC, my flow's numb
Work hard, these days long
... doll, I came... pray to god I'm king now
Don't smell loud, that hate, nah
Swallow it,... I'm real talk, no counterfeit
I came to buzz,... raging on, pay tomorrow
Ray bans like Ray Charles
Name brand like... I cut the bars like crayons
Wishing all this... y'alls is wasted
Good money take all the braces... so close that I can taste it
I'm high as hell, no tippy toes,
Molly paper, switch the road,... we dog wild
It's for the soul man
My destination is top of the world
