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.

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...

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

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.

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

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

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?
