Stood still on my lonely, thinking bout composure
Like how can he hit my email tryna swap work for exposure
Goodness gracious
So audacious
God please give man patience
Long time since I been on the slave ships
Everybody wanna talk about-shh
Lowe it, convo dead now
I dont wanna hear about top ten nothing. how my name get left out?
How many times has a man been slept on. Lets put that to bed now
On the last one I made sure I sealed my pen. I got nothing but lead now
Last time they tried to get forward, had to tell my Gs gеt back
Four in fore, one in the back
Look likе Bayern on the attack
Back to the basics, back the the rap
If that dont work then its back to the bag
Sometimes I be feeling like Amy, thats back to the black
The voice that you hear in your head when youre not giving up, yes I am him
My bro bro come try push me off the edge, but this aint The Lion King
PTSD from violent things, still got a couple scars that I keep locked in
Backs on the rope cant get boxed in. No multiple choice, dont need options
Why?
I aint them, this aint that
Once again, that Return of the Mack
If I burn the bridge then theres no coming back
I dont slip, dont miss, dont slack
Dont compare, cause they all mismatch
I come match fit. Dont miss practice
Im from the era, Chat shit and get banged.
Cause you could turn the other cheek and get slapped
This kinda skill, cant give, cant take
This type of real, cant copy, cant fake
Made money online, made money offline
Been here long time. Youre just late
You got cosigns? Cant relate
You just got here. Slow your pace
Im not the one, know your place
Bar for bar. Theres no debate
Stood still on my lonely, thinking bout progression
Like how can they call me gifted, if they never really felt my presence?
If they never understood my message. Well its cool now, class in session
Let me script every curse Im blessed with
Tried peace but they like aggression
Everybody wanna talk about numbers. How many wanna talk investments?
When they really gonna learn their lesson? Rap money dont come with pensions
Everybody wanna talk impressions, but the catalogue aint impressive
And that clout just aint interesting. You got the crown but the crown came rented
Normal |
This what happen when I think about you
I get in my feelings, yeah
I start reminiscing, yeah
Caring for my ego, act like I didnt care
Fighting for your love, guess it just wasnt there
Lord didnt save him from me
He was just way too horny
If we could change, explain away, I swear I would be married shortly
I need man to adore me
Everywhere he go, playing my songs
Thats why I say the things that I say that way I know you cant ignore me
So, so
Just gimme all of you in exchange for me
Just gimme all of you in exchange for me
Just gimme all of you in exchange for me
Just gimme all of you in exchange for me
Shorty swing my way
Sure look good to me
Now would you please swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Sure look good to me
Now would you please swing my way
Shorty swing my way
We used to lay up and then stay up
Have drink while you dank
You show me more interest and I talk in my bank
Last time I saw you we aint speak and that was strange
Was it just to show your boys that you could get her?
You would play the games to make me jealous
I was always loyal from the start, you can tell it
If you changed then let me know
Just gimme all of you in exchange for me
Just gimme all of you in exchange for me
Shorty swing my way
Sure look good to me
Now would you please swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Sure look good to me
Now would you please swing my way
Shorty swing my way
You were trynna teach me a lesson
Im trynna see you with less on
Oh the irony, I hope you still admire my affliction
Help me listen, I been the same since Martin had a vision
Free at last, maybe I met my match, bang a piston
Lace decorating your attire
The fragrance on your flesh leave mortal men inspired
Eh, took pressure to make a diamond
Love should never be easy when all the fun is in trying
Ammi on loud like the feedback
Do away with inhibition, you aint need that
And I drank another Magnum on the way here
If I gave you all of me, what would you leave back?
Got you sleeping on my cadence, guess Im woke now, told you
Bite the pillow, neighbours know now
Got your guard up, we can throw down
Tick, tick always gets better when we slow down
Ill hold you tight all through the night
Anything that you want, Ill keep it chrump
Boy youre gonna see how good it can be
Just come to me Ill
Ill hold you tight all through the night
Anything that you want, Ill keep it chrump
Boy youre gonna see how good it can be
Just come to me Ill
Shorty swing my way
Sure look good to me
Now would you please swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Sure look good to me
Now would you please swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Gimme all of you in exchange for me
Shorty swing my way
Gimme all of you in exchange for me, yeah
Shorty swing my way
Shorty swing my way
Shorty swing my way |
Gunfight with the bottle
Couple more shots and I am down
Lump in my throat, I cant swallow
The silence never seemed so loud
And I pray, I pray that the fear stops
And I pray the fear that I feel when her tears drop
And I pray, I pray that the fear stops
The fear that I feel when her tears drop
Whoa-oh-oh
Fight through the pain
Dont let her go
But its easy to talk when
You dont know
Smile through the pain
Dont let it show
I just hope that she understands
I just hope that she understands
I just hope that she understands
I just hope that she understands
Me now, me now
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Me now, me now
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Me now, me now
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Me now, me now
Ayy, ayy, ayy
For someone who doesnt aim before they shoot
I was surprised by the accuracy of the bullets
You sprayed when they found me, pierced
The flesh and before I had a second to reload
You dropped a nuke that levelled the ground
I was once stood on proudly. You said
I dont love you anymore, why? Because I needed a little break from our situation?
The late night conversations you had with
Your ex just little be degrading
But for trust let you back
In without a moments
Hesitation. Youre the only soldier I know who can play the gunman and the medic
Because you started apologising the moment after you said it
Sticks and stones may battle with brittle bones
But actions will forever be the greatest weapon
Open up
The barrel or your clip, load up and put a
Silencer to the tip. So no one else hears
The shhhh, that you said to me
Were raised as men to treat our wounds in secrecy
So with my hand on the first aid, I watch the world
Run first to your aid while you seek empathy
I have to commend your craftsmanship
You can turn any situation from the past, into a bullet to spit
Then somehow manage to claim collateral if things gets damaged
Another nail to a coffin, when you bang those hammers
Nothing feels worse than
Knowing your bulletproof vest is just about working
And you have to smile and pretend this
Sinking ships still worth it
We battle with different missions
Bottle up our emotions up so nobody shoots a witness
You battle with your intentions
Battle with every sentence, battle with brittle bones
Battle with stones and sticks as your weapons
You battle till you have nothing left to say
Battle with the knowledge winning means
Losing me so if you win might just lose either way
Think first prevent it
I battle with my intent battle knowing every extra noun verb and adjective
I load up and shoot could leave me a lengthy sentence
Draw for your pistol, shoot what hurts most
Well both count to three
Two. One second wait, be careful
Instinct loads the gun, ideas pull the trigger
Trying to save a small dispute made whole war much
Pointless and minuscule compared to repercussions
In consequence, Common sense to the common, notion of pain
Be the seventh sense, well both draw for our pistol
Shoot what hurts most
Well both count to three, two... |
Treat me nice, make me never wanna leave
Tell me nothin but sweet nothings til I fall asleep
And hold me tight, you better make that cut so deep
Intoxicate me, make me feel like royalty
My bodys yours, my mind is yours, my heart is yours
And youre the cause
Give me the cure, I need a cause
If youre the source, I feel youre force
You put the sun in my eyes, feed me a little more lies
Trick me a littlе bit, just a little
Get me a littlе more high, show me the time of my life
Trick me a little bit
Tell me lies , but please dont let me see
I like it when Im left to hide behind my ecstasy
Im hypnotized, is that youre specialty?
Well, then initiate me, Im gonna let you take
Wont this ship sink if I rock the boat?
Felt like routine when I come, I go
She told me to act like I done this before
If youre gonna lie, baby lie to me slow
Man I think I love her, I love her, I do
If she need a ring on it, Im sayin, I do
Do what? Do what? That what could burst pipes
Forbidden fruit is wrong, but tastes nice
T-Taking a bite still, red or the blue pill, in case it get too real
And we get the mood kill
We touch, ooh chills, make flick, dont do chills
I might be a cheap date, but never a cheap thrill
Plenty of old skill, plenty of free will
Outside, I play shy, the enemy freak, freak
No I never kiss and tell cause she love when I dont speak
Tell her bout the pillows, so neighbors could have a sneak peek
You put the sun in my eyes , feed me a little more lies
Trick me a little bit , just a little
Get me a little more high , show me the time of my life
Trick me a little bit
You put the sun in my eyes , feed me a little more lies
Trick me a little bit , just a little
Get me a little more high , show me the time of my life
Trick me a little bit |
I sit down to watch BET
And a rapper comes on called Dom Kennedy
Something he said really stuck to me
He said ‘if you don’t know my name by now
I aint working hard enough’
Then I got off the chair and went to my bed
Must konked out cos the next thing I knew
I was out of my head
Talking to a man with skin soft like cotton
And with a tone so rare I had no choice but to listen
He said come on come on you know you got something
Come on come theres work to do
Come on come on don’t make the people wait
Come on come on get over you
It’s more than you
I wallowed in self pity for too long
Wanted to be noticed but had nothing going on
Longed to be heard
Compared myself to others which I knew was so absurd
Still I found it getting worse
Then daddy said to me
I didn’t name you after Ella Fitzgerald for me
I did it for the world to see
You are in your own league
But you gotta put the work in
Focus on your dreams...
Come on come on you know you got something
Come on come theres work to do
Come on come on don’t make the people wait
Come on come on get over you
It’s more than you
If you dont know my name by now, I aint working hard
If you dont know my name by now, I aint working hard
If you dont know my name by now, I aint working hard enough, hard enough
If you dont know my name by now, I aint working hard
If you dont know my name by now, I aint working hard
If you dont know my name by now, I aint working hard enough, hard enough |

I dont wanna be caught in a system that
Aint like me, aint built for me
Aint built like me, aint real like, uh-huh
Seas of faces
Soulless places, places we go
All my problems
Call my Father, take me home
I dont wanna be
Got nothing here to reach
Said, I dont wanna be
No real life around
No real life of mine
Caught in a system
Im out here walking the distance
Caught in a system
Im out here walking the distance
Uh, oh no, this aint no test
This aint no gangsters dеlight
Gotta go like red light, green light
Gotta meet my dreams in rеal life, uh-huh
Red light, green light
Someone tell me what peaceful be like
I still cant picture still life
Someone tell me what peaceful be like, uh-huh
Pump the brakes
Simple, so complicated
I might go back to basics
I aint really got shit to lose
Might see that risk and take it
Might take them rules and break em
System still testing patience
Tryna put my hope in cages, uh-huh
Pump the brakes
Slow enough that I can see that nothing changes
They wont call my phone until they call me crazy
Someone call the devil, tell him, Not today
I think I need my space, uh-huh
Yeah, think I need some time, I need some ventilation
They can only judge on what you demonstrate
Think I need some time, I need to get away cause
I dont wanna be
Cause nothing is real
Said I dont wanna be
No real life around
No real life of mine
Caught in a system

My Sunday best always looked best when I was next to you
Some seasons change, some stay the same, Ill always fall for you
Cant we slow dance and find romance somewhere inside of you
Ill drop my plans and make some room and find some space for you
Cause Ive been pushing through
Ive been talking to peeps to get me through this
In my Sunday best
Cause Ive been pushing through
Ive been talking to peeps to get me through this
In my Sunday best
Yo
Dad and mums first son but I aint prodigal though
I had the humble approach, but I run with the looks
Street tires like the wire but I struggle alonе
I put the tyres in a bowl like Im brothеr -
I dont really cuff links, still tough when they go
I know the feeling so I button it slow
True Im feeling your pill but were on opposite roads
Baby girl, is it real? Is it lust? I dont know
Shirt on the clothes line, I got her eyeing out the creases
I know they lying, I aint buying all their thesiss
I pre this shit, the sharks they wear their trousers but have jeans with it
Fucking geniuses, how they reckon?
Knucks is in the top couple and I doubt hes second
Hunnid rounds will wet them, mind and my mouth a weapon
So clean its in my genes but I doubt its denim
Just think about your Sundays best will tell you how Im dressing
My Sunday best always looked best when I was next to you
Some seasons change, some stay the same, Ill always fall for you
Cant we slow dance and find romance somewhere inside of you
Ill drop my plans and make some room and find some space for you
Cause Ive been pushing through
Ive been talking to peeps to get me through this
In my Sunday best
Cause Ive been pushing through
Ive been talking to peeps to get me through this
In my Sunday best
Best dressed, expect no less from me
Its like she needs a cheque just to check for me
Been a long while since I met Lizzie
I love it when she wears that pink dress for me
Our father, I pray me and my armada
Leaving every man we came here with, mashallah
I lost my brother and it hurts, with his son at the hearse
Standing in my Sunday best like I was coming to church
My Sunday best always looked best when I was next to you
Some seasons change, some stay the same, Ill always fall for you
Cant we slow dance and find romance somewhere inside of you
Ill drop my plans and make some room and find some space for you
Cause Ive been pushing through
Ive been talking to peeps to get me through this
In my Sunday best
Cause Ive been pushing through
Ive been talking to peeps to get me through this
In my Sunday best |
Father have mercy
Father have mercy
Father have mercy
Oh have mercy, oh have mercy, oh have mercy, oh
Cause I want a Murcielago too
I want a Murcielago too
We outchea, we outchea
My ex told me I should quit music, I should stick to doing nine to five, yeah
Im hanging on the edge of my depression, feeling like Im gonna lose my life
Tunes are pulling up in the old school whip, doors suicide
So I quit my job and left my ex, right now, its do or die
They should stick to making beats and writing songs for other people, nigga fuck yourself
I can sell a blank tape right now cause the industry think that Im out of sale
I work for it, for certain, but nobody help
But I aint bitter nigga, I still wish you well
Cause I want a Murcielago too
I want a Murcielago too
Aight, so let me set the scene. Its me, my brother, my sister in a house by ourselves. Mums out working two, three jobs just trying to put food on the table. At the same time, running from immigration. At the same time, shes not allowed to leave her kids cause we are under-aged by ourselves at home. So we have to pretend like nobodys at home if anybody knocks, not allowed to leave the house under any circumstance. So to pass the time like, we used to sit on the inside looking out from upstairs looking outside the window at the cars that drove past like Thats a BMW, thats a Mercedes, thats a Chevrolet
One step away from better days
We gon get it, we gon celebrate
We the diamonds that the pressure made
Got body made dummies stay
They dont hear you when you ten toes
Now we pull up in the Holy Ghost
No you dont have to grind no more
Keep faith, Im make you mama
days
Cant take it all to the grave
I keep my soul in the safe
Somebody just give me the way
Tired of running away
Dreaming from back in the day
When we had a reason to pray |
In Paris they sang Let it Be by Pigalle church cathedral steps
Only the gypsy asked for change though
Apologies fall from my lips like ash from cigarette embers
Veins riddled skin surfaces like the innocence of childrens drawings
Whether colder than two Decembers
Whether I was in possession wasnt the question
But I still pet my pockets inconsistently along garment seams To swat pennies for empathy
I cant tell if these cupped hands are begging for my dividends or a spare moment of my time
I cant tell which one Id rather give up
Patience alludes me when only given two options
Tick boxes or fit boxes
The clocks ticking, get in where you fit in
Dont stray, we have no time for that
The shepherd you follow may not be so forgiving
Squander while pondering the re-up dont make no sense
Excuses are an enemy of progress, wise up
Understand the importance of acceptance before convenience
Say La Vie, say La Vie
Thats what she said to me
She mustve realized I had no change to give and standing around and talking about it wont change a thing
If only you knew what some would do to get a second of their time back, and just how many wouldnt change a thing
Time is the only luxury, spend it wiser than the man who built his house on stone
The preacher told the masses of misguided be pensive in your parables
The most pride-filled ? from the crowd would rather keep a pistol tucked and play street disciple
He cant read the scripture with an empty stomach and his legs cut
You think about it |
Last time I said this I was crying
Im not afraid to say it, the last time I said this, I was crying
Inner child beating on my rib cage
I remember it so vivid, so vivid up until this day
The last time I said this I was crying
And as that tear rolled down my cheek
Past the lump in my throat that I couldn’t swallow
I didn’t understand what they had planned for me tomorrow
The last time I said this
It was a cold day in September
Exchanging words with a friend
Outside a church, if I can remember
And a person I hold close words
Now paraphrased in text
Said my art wasnt worth the figures written on a cheque
Instantly a rage built up inside of me
Making me blind to see the third can of Strongbow she had sipped
Which in turn making her blind to much her words may have ripped
They said I was born with a gift
I said I was cursed with talent
Then left alone to manage.
Alone. No direction. No recipe, so I grafted.
Slammed through page after page, went to meeting after meeting
Listened to every lecture thrown my vicinity
and then some–
Till out of all my pores oozed creativity
But unlike Da Vinci, I found beauty in a lack of symmetry
I crafted myself into the Vitruvian man
And asked the world, What do you see?
A response was given loosely: Radiance.
Like I was the new Basquiat staring at the untitled skull
Like it was a portrait of me
Warm on a surface, sporting an expression that makes you question
Is it all worth it?
For you, Ive given my mind, body & spirit
So its safe to say Im yet to see my worth defined
by a digit.
The last time I said this I was crying
Im not afraid to say it, the last time I said this
I was crying.
Who else can I trust to write my legacy but me?
I may never be the greatest
But I will be the greatest success story the world has ever seen |
I know ninos with them toasters
Bitches be looking for closure
But they aint getting no closer
Ive be rapping out a cave
Ive been hustling all day
Busy tryna get that pay
Still leaning off them clouds
Have you ever had a 1 on 1
Thats when your soul comes out of your chest
And starts telling you some real shit
This rappers be dehydrated
I been hibernating
Putting work in like an off licence
No licence
Swerving sirens
You know machine he got that flame
Let it burn
Im the man under pressure
Mercy to the flamers
Let it burn
Im the man under pressure
Someone cry for me
Feels like im getting closer
Their tryna fuck with me
Shit
I aint bending over
Shit
Someone cry with me
I realised the other night
That i could die in this city
Like any other black guy
I bought some pumas for the revelation
Thats why i do this
I shot down kupid
Peace and love
To all my enemies and foes
Im for ever on my toes
Try fuck with me
I lost my marbles
Fell down and stumbled
All praises to la familia
Whats mine is yours
Whats yours is mine
Like a diamond in the rubal
See me shine
See me climb
To the top
When i die
Engrave those numbers on my coffin
I like em classy
A little rachet
Pussyy with no behaviour
She aint got to smoke weed
As long as i can
Yes im the main
Flier than peter pan
My worlds like neverland
I pray i never land
I pray i never land
This flows retarded
Life of the party
I brought my people
You know bacardi
Still miss casino
Pressure pressure
Pressure pressure
When i die
Ill rest in peace
Its late to rescue
I feel like
Mother teresa and ted bundy
Kill em’ with kindness and keep the bodies
I’m trying to put a belly on the table
And still get change of the payment
I’m a man under pressure baby
I’m a man under
What?
My iris don’t tell a story?
Lets talk. Walk
Through staircases with heroin
Needles that sit next to
Monster munch packets
Ironic. I guess we all get hungry
I lost appetite, carrying my nephew
Through it all with his eyes closed
This is all to real, all to close to home
Hit the roads then home again
Another day, another penny for your
Thoughts. I’m done with opinions
Facts only
I cry sometimes
I’m a man under pressure, baby
I’m a man under pressure, baby
Can’t get complacent
Can’t see my face too much you’ll hate it
I’m a man under pressure, baby
I’m a man under pressure, yeah
I cry sometimes
I cry sometimes |
Zane SAZ
How are you gon tell me
You have never lost so
Fingertips won’t hold you close
Dealing with my loss and..
I was growing on my own
I was boxing on my own
No longer on my own
You’re already gone so
Praise my love and let me go
Phases when I kept you close
Promise you’ll hold onto those
Damn you was right
Fuck it, I tried
The worlds falling down around us
Kojey Radical
Your arms will never be to short to box with god
To the mighty heartbeat thumping dormant as you slumber
The earth will tell your story as taught to you by the village
You were raised by. Your finger tips will contort as you begin
To conduct symphony on the heart strings of everyone
Who will ever place their love in side you
You eyes will beam
Looks of confusion then back to excitement as you discover
The earth moves in your stomach, you will smile when you
Discover your mother will have to clean it up. Your eyes will beam
Brighter the day you discover everything she gave to give you
Life. You will grow to wrap your strength around her sheltering
Her as if to pay homage to time spent in her womb
You will push with ease the boulders your fathers struggled to move
You will throw to him with same power it will take
Shift the sun. And his eyes will beam. And his mouth will speak the
Words of wisdom that his fathers teach
These words will run like liquid and you will take to the waters
Like a starved sponge
You will hear your mothers praises and sing them back when
Times are testing
You will hear the village sing for you
For you are loved, your innocence to be marvelled
Your touch so delicate it could remove the wings
Of a butterfly with a slight of hand. Your voice
So powerful it moves, and we will hush your tears
We will guide your steps. We will watch you crawl
And uplift you when you fall. We will watch you walk
And wait with bated breath to see you run
Because Your arms will never be to short to box with god
To the mighty heartbeat thumping dormant as you slumber
The earth will tell your story as taught to you by the village
You were raised by |
Ah-ah-ah, Eh-eh-eh
, Eh-eh-eh
Oh you love me now
Am I all that your rooting for?
There was a storm outside
You cast me out like Lucifer, oh
Now either love me or leave me
I swear it feels like Im dreaming
You see my daddy was a gangster, gangster
But I dont need to be a gangster
Lord knows
Thats why I walk for miles in my shoes
I walk for miles in my own shoes
I walk for miles in my shoes
I walk for miles in my own shoes
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
I bet your feet hurt pounding pavement pedaling Khalifa
Like manage screw preachers
I hope your fictions weakens the venom in your diction
Dont believe him
I hope your soul dont suffer
I hope your stripes dont whither
I hope your taste wont bitter
Its a long road with no direction
What would you rather chase the sun or your own reflection
When you are alone does your soul feel vacant
Do you palm songs and pray for patience?
Dont have choose for your own protection
What truth do they bring if you havent seen the truth in yourself?
Only a fools gold is material wealth
Ah
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im not saying we were going
That use to work for Mister Major
I was captioning
I owe at least a dozen favors
Im moving too quick
Back when I used to live with momma
Took a long time I didnt need to go to Harlem
If you know you know
But I remember that time
I thought I use to just fly
When a nigga used to shoe-shine
Ten years old
Yes, I know instinctively Ive been searching for more
Thats why I walk for miles in my shoes
I walk for miles in my own shoes
I walk for miles in my shoes
I walk for miles in my own shoes
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it
Im searching, searching still cant find it
Im searching but I still cant find it |
SPOON
In a church an old man was playing, what was his answer…
God, music.. that they are one in the same?
At that moment was he hearing a different music than the literary of that church
Where icons can be seen not only on the walls, like an Orson Wells character, Mcain or Macbeth
How far can you get along with Evil
Use a long spoon to sup with the devil
Did you well out your lives calculating the length of the spoon…
Only to discover that there was no supper
When the eye in the sky couldnt help you fly
Don’t waste your life just trying to get by
Its our turn now, you can wear Caesars crown
Even a golden cage couldnt hold you down
What if it’s my last gasp
My final touch upon the foreign sands
Inside an inverted hour glass
Minutes pass, but i dont choose to be a part of it
Cos most stories end with ‘that aint the half of it
My doesnt
Cos you cant prize my grip
Document my trip
I turn lethargic sick with being mediocre
I wasnt here to rot like teeth in coca cola
Intoxicate the sober through a speech on a sound wave
Leech to passion tryna reach a cloud state
Elevate
The equilibrium that im living in, is sinking in
Cos theres no plan for me
There never was
Cos fates just a word
When destiny is lost
When the eye in the sky couldn’t help you fly
Don’t waste your life just trying to get by
Its our turn now, you can wear Caesars crown
Even a golden cage couldn’t hold you down
Kojey Verse:
6 feet of potential
Im Grave digging for gold
6 to 10 on an early rat race on the journey home
6.50 An hour I spent that on my soles
Miss me with the drama. I manage but barely cope
Bakery in my wallet. My wallowing pitiful
Cycles of expectation, effecting my spirit to
Miniscule in the moment. I ponder whats my excuse. Wonder why I still run from the sound of their ridicule
Often I debate if the struggle is worth the pain. quickly went the distance because I needed
My space
The taste of inhibitions go, creep through my veins
Preacher dont condemn me, they love me for my ways
I could never waste time and let time waste me
I chased time for too long now my mind won’t sleep, I think about it
I wonder if time chased and when exactly I lost sight of what made me, me |
FREE THE MIND
Sitting on my balcony absorbing all the sunlight
Before you get 10 make sure you got your ones right
Now my music poppin Im more jolly now I love life
Imma change the world really all I need is one mic
Too many bridges burned
So it’s guaranteed I kill it when I get my turn
Gotta get it out the mud thats a lesson learned
I dont ever want no money that I never earned
Yuh
Keep it thorough bruddah know your worth
Levitate we the wave n tryna surf
Audio dope needle when it hit the nerve
In a four door beamеr when a N swerve
- will bе added soon
- will be added soon
I’m back in London and im starin at the 02
Im working hard to turn these rappers into old news
10 winters I been in it Im cold dude
They dont want this beef scary n order Tofu
I aint even in my final form yet like Goku
Let me take it back for you n like cold soup
Curry goat rice and peas n thats my go to
Sunshine living so the whip came with no roof
If I spy with my lil eye a lil disrespect
Vampire lines since a child coming for ya neck
Leaving competition in a spiral
I come correct
Tell the label cut the check
All I is do is come collect
Yeah
What it takes to be the man
Blood sweat and tears
Now im counting money me and Sam
God damn |
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin
Ive seen some things in this world we live in
Its like were dying just to make a livin
Make a livin
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin
Ive seen some things in this world we live in
Its like were dying just to make a livin
In this world we live in
I just had a dream about utopia
I heard the top is getting lonelier
Im sick of being down, throw me up
I find it funny how fears my only phobia
I grew up on Jesus, I mean Michael Jackson
Im invincible too, the man in the mirror, thats him, yeah
And money makes you do mad things
The fact that mad things make money makes you do mad things, yeah yeah
And mama couldnt pay the bills
So now the bills pay mummy
Youve got to have the will to win if the will aint won
They thought I was a done deal but the deal aint done
Fuck the fame, Im just tryna feed my family, yeah
Glass ceilings tryna shatter me
But the way youre just a sinner, just a salary
No more stories till my ever afters happily
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin
Ive seen some things in this world we live in
Its like were dying just to make a livin
Make a livin
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin
Ive seen some things in this world we live in
Its like were dying just to make a livin
In this world we live in
In this world we live in
Yeah
Theres no studio audience
Flash cars the violence
Minutes for the silence
Ooos for the violence
World star candid camera snaps
Clap claps from the congregation
Siren lights through stained glass windows
Widows sob softly
I guess we all love a tragedy
Standing ovation, murmurs for the dialogue
Couple people care, maybe some may sing a quiet song
Take to the streets and protest
Rant, rave, riot - like thats progress
Maybe this will go viral
Maybe the world will see me stand aside and point the blame like its my fault
What did I do? Apart from stand idle
Seen enough to drop to my knees and covet and idol
A portrait of the world will show nobody smiling
A portrait of the world will show nobodys
Maybe we can shift the moons with the depths of our sighing
Maybe we can lift the oceans with the tears of our crying
Once told a mothers tears could the seas of Poseidon |
Its spiritual man, its spiritual
Cradle yourself like a foetus
Pray that your makers love you
Accept your conviction with conviction
You love this now, hardly surprising
Sit and watch your 4 fathers
Give you goals with no guidance
Play both child and parent as you father this talent
You can if you must
But if you stray too far from the sand box
There is no one you can run to
You can only cradle yourself like a foetus
And pray that your makers love you
I pray that your makers love you
Damn
I wanna know if I
Am running laps inside your mind?
Am I? Am I?
A Prisoner of my thoughts
Until the first day I came out of pen
I mean released the ink out my pen
Ayo here we go again
I swear you couldnt place an odd on this crazy
Event
Lyrical aliens and solar systems
Bipolar visions showing symptoms of endless wisdom
Socially blind brothers walking in to prisms
And disengaging with the one gift the lord has given
Life
Reality speaks in different colours
But if youre Always in the shade man then I wont bother
Dem never listen to their inner psyche
Seems like they hear dreadful like Lauryn hill in the 90s
I mean full of dreads unlock the mystery
A myth to me is a restricted possibility
See love is braille to a non blind man
Cah they can feel it but more time they dont understand
Damn
My brains full of pixelated rainbows
I swear to you she beautiful but far from an angel
Her hair under a red bee-nie as a halo
And if lifes like a movie Im playing the Michael Caine role
Cah my name Michael not Harry Brown
Black boy from AY thats the common ground
She says my name rings bells no playing round
A few boxes of Rekorderlig its going down
Green ammi in her blunt
A madderness were turnt all the way up
Inhale like Im from Totty
No chips got me moving spiritual like monks what the fu-
And all this stress got her chain smoking zoots
Go to sleep then wake and bake Ocean Drive Drew
Far from a deadfreak so I tell her light the fire
That used to burn inside her after 10 bottles of cider
Mind
White lines and 20 notes
Homeless folk and tatted arms covered in bible quotes
And ive switched it up
And the flow might have changed
But the passion dont and the passion wont
Im on my Charlie Black ish Im destined to make it
Promote the opposite of pretence we never fake it
This music things like overnight lesbians
Coz getting a deal and coming out straight is so overrated
Unis done I told my mum I got a 2:1
Graduation come and she was like Yeah thats my son
The smile on her face could revive fallen leaves
From the ground back to the trees in the autumn
And Im writing this song so you dunknow
Ima fly or die kinda guy never lie when I flow
Kinda random like scandal
Ima holistic individual but never in Hollister this is orphan flow
King
I wanna know if I
Am running laps inside your mind?
Am I, Am I, Am I
I wanna know if I
Am running laps inside your mind?
Am I, Am I, Am I
I wanna know if I
Am running all these laps inside your mind?
Am I
Wanna know if I
Am running laps inside your mind?
Am I, Am I, Am I |
Sometimes, you love too hard

The way youre moving lately got me feeling sick
Like sey youve forgotten who youre dealing with
Man, ah real bread winner, me work nonstop
You no cook no dinner when I come back
Something wrong with ya, come out from that
If me walk and leave ya, me nah come back

Youre falling, but you dont wanna fall apart
Cause it might break if I give you my heart
And you hold on too hard

Many have tried to speak of love
A foreign concept to some I may say
Love! They say love is the opium of the people!

Self-made, I don’t need advice
Call me the reaper way I’m taking your life
Naija boy baby with the spice
What you know about the jollof with the rice?
Heart stay froze with the ice
If you know the code then you know the price

Came for your girl, tell your man he don’t move me
Raised from the dirt, I cannot be choosey

Been a long day need a detox
Run shit till I got a crease in the Reeboks
Big facts, still gotta spit it while the tea hot
Been cold like a February in the t-dot, mm
Still give thanks, it’s the ethos
‘Cause we still break bread like the preachers
Classic after classic but they love me for my features
If you see me reaching it was out to non-believers
Funny how they quick to put the worst on replay
No niggas only get the doubt on these days
Never been down for the “he say, she say”
Had to take time unwind for me sake
Sippin’ to the bottom of this bottle I don’t think twice
I can be the hero and the villain all at the same time
Ah
Fuckin’ with a brother like me might change your life
If everything they said I did is wrong, I don’t wanna do right

Verse 1
Treat me nice
Make me never wanna leave
Tell me nothing but
Sweets nothings ‘til I fall asleep
And hold me tight
You better Make it cut me deep
Intoxicate me
Make me feel like royalty
My body’s yours
My money’s yours
My heart is yours
You’re the cause
Give me the cure
I need a course
If you’re the source
I feel your force
Chorus
You put the sun in my eyes
Feed me a little more lies
Trick me a little bit
Just a little
Get me a little more high
Show me the time of my life
Trick me a little bit
Verse 2
Uh
Tell me lies
Please don’t let me see
I like it when I’m left to hide
Behind my ecstasy
I’m hypnotised
Is that your specialty
Well then initiate me
I’m gonna let you take
Kojey Radical Rap
Will this ship sink if I rock the boat
Feel like routine when I cum I go
She told me to act like I’ve done this before
If you’re gonna lie baby lie to me slow
Man I think I love her I love her I do
If she need a ring on it I’m saying I do
Doo wap doo wap
That WAP can burst pipes
Forbidden fruit is wrong but tastes nice
Taking a bite still
Red or the blue pill
In case we get too real
And we get the mood killed
We touch oo chills
Make flicks don’t do chills
I might be a cheap date
But never a cheap thrill
Plenty of old skills
Plenty of free will
Outside I play shit
The inner me freak freak
No I never kiss and tell coz she love when I don’t speak
Tell her bite the pillow so neighbours can have peace
Peace
Chorus
You put the sun in my eyes
Feed me a little more lies
Trick me a little bit
Just a little
Get me a little more high
Show me the time of my life
Trick me a little bit |
