What you teaching
Vote for who , we should be impeaching
Don't talk too much when they think you preaching
Hands on, but your doing it for reach
Every second you be reaching
Mans out here in the comfort of my reason
There's clout there , now your looking for a reason
Shout me, when you wanna talk real talk , not about me
What you on about
Notice I been about me
Never did it for any figures
The figure found me
Know this, I don't care what you think about me
Ego , no bigger when they sing about me
Know too talk sense if you been around me
My soul black to the letter
Write for the wise getting taxed by the letter
Eyes on my rise , they won't back till I'm mega
Hit enough , then I got my
Mind onto making ten times Rockerfeller
They say it's end times, but in endz
We tryna end times the block put life under pressure
You can never know my struggle
If you had a life fulla pleasure
You can never see a hustle through
Without a mind fulla treasure
Still you gotta find where your chest
Then it's your time, better grind with your chest
Take time get a mind for the chess
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Never take it at face value what you gimme
I'm black , look at the headlines that you gimme
In fact you gimme a bad name
I've either gotta rap , kick ball or run track or I trap
Deep in this illa man game
Mediate just to keep a man sane
Educate all the man dem, before the boy dem
Wanna be coming, giving man blame
Hold up , living within a glass chain
Digging gold up for the man, but he sipping champagne
We sipping black pain
Too busy focused on whether or not we dripping
Too busy focused on whether or not we slipping
I was off the wall, now I'm gonna moonwalk
Feds that wanna pull up on a brudda too talk
I just give em the Rap Sheet
R-A-P-T-U-M on the backsheet
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Think fast, live slow init, though I ghost
Brudda I waste no minute
All you man there copy and paste, no limit
When I'm low , you'll never know
Writing bars is helping my mind cope with it
Drive slow, keeping my eye close init
Pleasure burst pipes, getting a rhinestone init
See your ever in your prime, with your skills
But the devils in the grind
Don't let another man embezzle in your time
Make plans like a rebel, never settle in my shine
Long as I got my rep, strong as I got my head
Three pronged approach receipt , I got my cheque
Ima seize, everything I sees
Every bit of land to the seven seas
Fill a soundtrack with my memories
with my thoughts, with my flaws, with my energies
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro
Big smoke now you wanna hit that
Big tokes now you wanna live that
But you been chocked every time I lit that
Never wind down your window for my intro

Get that bread, need that hope
Been that broke , ink won't cash
Sink that boat, links don't lack
Shrink that goat
Need a shrink , no we don't
Blick don't crack , no we don't
Lick no crack, spit that crack
Fiend that coke
I'm smoking sin where you at
Toke until I choke
It keeps my wrists attached
Keep my wits intact
In these bits with tracks
In these bits posers
Cheese got em on a string with no latch
One yout said he got a new A1
Don't know if it's a whip or a poster
Yo Pray for me
I been prey to my ways
I'm a slave to me
Soul draped in a rage and I'm racing me
Got a page fulla ink need erasin
Nuff stories Ima jump front facing
From the jump I been lit , hot wire
Had my lunch in the clit, what's higher
Allegories in my writ, what's wiser
Nuff copies in my lips, all you gotta do is pull a stanza
When I say black men, stand up
Believe I ain't talking bout no banter
So Pull your pants up
Or come out of your yard with your hands up
Like your praising the lord
Tongue sharp like I'm raising a chord
Killing men, been a trend ,
men ain't made in a morgue
I been facing the cause
All the damage your chasing I pity
How you manage to hate when your really good
You a bandit inflaming the city
Living lavish you claiming you really hood
Life in the bits
Ain't no bragging right to a life in the bits
Five-O tryna take knives in the bits
Why go tryna hate
Escalate strife in the bits
Get that bread, need that hope
Been that broke , ink won't cash
Sink that boat, links don't lack
Shrink that goat
Need a shrink , no we don't
Blick don't crack , no we don't
Lick no crack, spit that crack
Fiend that coke
I'm smoking sin where you at
Toke until I choke
It keeps my wrists attached
Keep my wits intact
In these bits with tracks
In these bits posers
Cheese got em on a string with no latch
One yout said he got a new A1
Don't know if it's a whip or a poster
Yo I pray for you
know you prey to estates
Your a slave to you
Knew you when you just wanted to set pace to beauts
Now you lace boots, all food with no thought
How it taste to you
Endz been a fort, but there ain't no place for you
Man came with a plan
Knock down blocks , start raising a grand plaza up
But there ain't no place for you
Now your looking for ends outside endz
Crimes overlooking your end , you'll find pen
Minds overcooking
Grind over matter
Blind to the matter
You won't find what your looking for
Mind where you looking,
More time, you were on do or die for a foot in
These times I've been freeing minds with a foot in
Tryna get these lines in your cooking
Plottin to clock time before crimes what your pushing
All the damage your chasing I pity
How you manage to hate when your really good
You a bandit inflaming the city
Living lavish you claiming you really hood
Life in the bits
Ain't no bragging right to a life in the bits
Five-O tryna take knives in the bits
Why go tryna hate
Escalate strife in the bits
Get that bread, need that hope
Been that broke , ink won't cash
Sink that boat, links don't lack
Shrink that goat
Need a shrink , no we don't
Blick don't crack , no we don't
Lick no crack, spit that crack
Fiend that coke
I'm smoking sin where you at
Toke until I choke
It keeps my wrists attached
Keep my wits intact
In these bits with tracks
In these bits posers
Cheese got em on a string with no latch

Hands on my nose
Just so I don't know if I'm well off
Stinkin rich don't mean nothing
If the ink ain't rich then I fell off
Took pride in my work ever since
95 cos I came from a cell drop
Nowadays its, all bars, sheets fulla the heat
You can tell cah my cell hot
Labels wanna know, do I sell hot
Been at war with myself
Now I'm in a shell shock
When Time moves like a jail clock
Hell plots, graft or get life up in a cell block
Even widda first draft get a first class
See I learnt craft, then I learnt graft
See I learnt start, then I learnt task
Dealing with cards that ain't in my grasp
But still hustle hard and I keep hard body
Setting the bar at myself, don't copy
You ain't no where near it's a long run
Co-ordinate top tier with the strong ones
I ain't hit top gear
You won't hear nothing with your blocked ears
Too progress had to drop fears
Do no less than your top peers, block cheers
Focus on the work not perks, get busy
Feel the inner surge of my words get with me
Every verse I be on a search so picky
Winning comes first, not a purse, no biggie
Chilling with birds never earnt nothing
Then I learnt something, focus on yourself no kiddy
Stopped going church when I learnt, no pity
Man are gettin smoked in my city
Protect the know
How I treat heat that I'm holding
From a set, set to blow
What? you can't see that we smoking
Pull up and test your toke
See you can't breathe what I rolled in
So you gotta get to know
Why I can't speak what I hold in
Hold in
Protect the know
How I treat heat that I'm holding
From a set, set to blow
What? you can't see that we smoking
Pull up and test your toke
See you can't breathe what I rolled in
So you gotta get to know
Why I can't speak what I hold in
Hold in
Going straight to the rim no holding
Full blown vim, G, no joke ting
Ever see a man win, no posting
One rule in my team, no posing
Don't get gassed off a win, no toasting
If there's work to be done, why you boasting
One hand on the wheel, when I'm stroking
Got my eyes on the road, mind how you go
Big time it gets hard coping
No losing yourself in emotion
No proving yourself for commotion
Get nuff girls no need for the lotion
You ain't gettin time back
Protect your pocket like a lineback
Keep your mind on a mind map
You don't ever let em hijack
By that, I mean
Keeping yourself by blacks
See I seen success lose meaning
Seen a dream get left for the scheming
Seen man fall off when their peaking
See how nice peeps are when you G'd up
Everybody tryna schedule a meeting
That's why I can't live with my feet up
Everybody just ego pleasing
I don't like speaking
Why? talk is cheap
Man talk plenty, more for deceit
Man want envy more than critique
Plan B, thats how you morph a defeat
Don't talk plans just draw for your heat
Don't wait for the hands to applaud for belief
First their gonna ignore what you preach
And then they're at your door for a piece
Protect the know
How I treat heat that I'm holding
From a set, set to blow
What? you can't see that we smoking
Pull up and test your toke
See you can't breathe what I rolled in
So you gotta get to know
Why I can't speak what I hold in
Hold in
Protect the know
How I treat heat that I'm holding
From a set, set to blow
What? you can't see that we smoking
Pull up and test your toke
See you can't breathe what I rolled in
So you gotta get to know
Why I can't speak what I hold in
Hold in

Check ya socials
He's got a blue tick man that's clout
What you need to do is get your followers up
It's all about selling an image
That people can buy into
Even if it's not what your into
Mic check, Mic check
Anti-Social
It's all bless init
Just a shame I can't say that with my chest now
How a feed really make you wanna flex now
But you ain't eating from feeding it to impress now
What I been repeating whenever I do press now
Now they stressed coz they wasn't keeping abreast
All the powers in my soul I ain't looking left for a yes now
No likes on a selfie so she showing breast now
Take a couple trips and they look at you like you wealthy
Why I'll never believe anything that they sell me
All the love I receive, only care if it's healthy
See em tug to be seen
The one hugging the camera ain't the one running the scene
Inner hate type, showing loving
Follow back or they're gonna say that you bugging
Hollow acts looking for a way to be something
Follow fashion boys, circle fulla fakes, you ain't nothing
Let's talk about it
I don't do it for likes
I don't socialize
I immobilize it
I control my life
They don't know their role without it
And they so disguised
Got no life
And they normalize it
It's a slow demise
Ain't nobody wanna talk about it
I don't do it for likes
I don't socialize
I immobilize it
I control my life
They don't know their role without it
And They so disguised
Got no life
And they normalize it
It's a slow demise
Ain't nobody wanna
It's jacking your brain
Look how you be tapping, it be ransacking your reign
Look how you be bragging and who your tagging in vain
All that style jacking and chat like you bagging the dames
Blowing a stack easy, but really your stacking for change
When they see you lacking, you be really acking ashamed
I know I rap greasy, but really I ran from estates
Might see me in a leather jacket
Fresh cut, cheeze, looking flee grabbing my chain
No ones knows you there ain't no competition now
Form a rogue division now
And we all believe bagging your claim
No baggage to come and slow my vision now
With the coalition now
And we plant seeds, challenge the grain
I been speaking a language with a ism now
You can taste the vision now
We don't need to tweet, chatting for gain
Crud groove you should know the mission now
If you don't then listen now
Cut above rest, challenge the game
Let's talk about it
I don't do it for likes
I don't socialize
I immobilize it
I control my life
They don't know their role without it
And they so disguised
Got no life
And they normalize it
It's a slow demise
Ain't nobody wanna talk about it
I don't do it for likes
I don't socialize
I immobilize it
I control my life
They don't know their role without it
And They so disguised
Got no life
And they normalize it
It's a slow demise
Ain't nobody wanna
They love to see it, then they love be it
But never withdraw with it
Draw for efficiency when going to war with it
They're on it all the time
Don't know where to draw limits
The whole things rigid their running for your digits
That's why these up and comers could never endure critics
The message is essential that's how I ensure lyrics
Your circle fulla cynics that love you for your image
Mine love me for core spirit
Let's talk about it
I don't do it for likes
I don't socialize
I immobilize it
I control my life
They don't know their role without it
And they so disguised
Got no life
And they normalize it
It's a slow demise
Ain't nobody wanna talk about it
I don't do it for likes
I don't socialize
I immobilize it
I control my life
They don't know their role without it
And They so disguised
Got no life
And they normalize it
It's a slow demise
Ain't nobody wanna

There's little heated moments
That escalate
Yeah into life changing situations
Do you understand me
But hear wagwarn though yeah
Now you can't persecute somebody
For speaking how they feel or
What they're going through
Cos some of them are actually
Going through this init
If you're not on it, don't do it
On the front line
They don't wanna talk clips
When it's run time
Yo my bloodline
Why you throwing gun signs
Dead and leave him on the floor
Where the blood lying
Now the feds knocking the door
And his mum crying
Only fifteen he ain't have enough time
Now your doing fifteen
Man that ain't enough time
Still trying to gauge twelve
And it ain't lunch time
Now the feds doing a tour
Late night looking for their
Next clue in the floor
No law where the poor live
During a war
Feds tour where the war is
Ruin your door
Sorry sir , wrong house
Trying to ruin my core
Who you trying to draw out
I ain't looking to draw
Wanna know my cause
Look in my core, look in my scores
Tryna make way home
Man looking for scores
What because I'm black
What you think I'm looking for draws
Less I see a buff beans
Then I'm looking to draw
Feds on speed in the ends
Looking for war
One bag a weed
But their trying to book him for more
Trying to make ends meet
If you look in his pure
Make different ends meet
For the sake of the cure
Talking to my friends deep
And we're sick of the wars
Why you wanna act
Like it ain't sicken your thoughts
You wanna dim and divorce
Yeah that's definitely a big problem
Back in my day
If i was listening to drill music
I'm riding out Twenty-four seven
Like if i was listening to drill music everyday
The way it is now
I'm definitely committing crime
Like if you're not a gangbanger
Then what are you ?
You're irrelevant
Looking for pagans
Enough stories imma jump front facing
Another black face on the front page and
Another black inmate and he facing
Twenty-five
See the press just copy and pasting
Just a victim of the place he was raised in
Some man prayed for him
Some man praised him
Some drive by hoping that they could erase him
See I wrote words for fixing a foundation
Cos of what I seen from living around leyton
That's why every verse they be digging
Only way I can reimburse where I'm living
Slur speech coz their all burst from the spliffing
Going school we were aggy
Hitting JD we looking to kop a tracky
Bruddaman with a bmx get a backy
Other days lot twenty-nine
Rock it baggy
Hit the carribean shop one-fifty for the patty
Only buff tings out with the big batty
Forehead slick make me wanna get married
Then all of a sudden man a carry
Man I ain't with it
Life's too precious how you gonna play with it
Your life's to wreckless
Now your gonna pay with it
I got tekkers with a ball
I'm gonna stay with it
I would've stayed with him
It's quite hard, let me not lie to you
It's quite hard
Cos everyone wants to be accepted
Like no one wants to be alone
No one wants to feel like
Their, um like their areas isolated
D'you feel me ?
You wanna have people around you
You wanna be doing things
Saying my size
What you looking at
What you think you my size
Go about your business
Back then tell a girl come around my sides
How I capsize on the digits
Black lives taking black lives with no limits
Chastised if you act like you were in it
I weren't that guy
Bottom floor on a double decker
I was that guy
Where you from ?
Earth, I was that guy
Black on the both sides of my spirit
Live a remote life with no limits
Tryna demote strife with my lyrics
In east end
We promote life with no gimmicks
Police thinking its showtime
Cos my skin is
Dark, I'm looking to show class when in it
Instead you wanna hit me with a charge
Cos I'm rocking low batt
You just wanna show blacks you don't business
That's why they money making on the streets
No tax
No love, they just wanna beat
Blow backs
Manna man stay up in your seat
No lax
We just wanna eat
We just wanna breath
Blow stacks
Coming with your policies
Hit me with your politics
Issuing apologies
Then you wanna promise this
Still you wont acknowledge this
Lives pay with it
And still you wanna take a percent of my wage with it
So when they say to them
Alright cool
We don't know how to deal with them
They're going through these tings
But we're gonna shut down the music
You're shutting out their
Their outlet now
So once you shut out their outlet
Where they gonna go ?
As I said, it is what it is
Like you can't stop
You can't change anything from happening right now you feel me
Yo my Guy, my guy
For what it's worth,
You talk nuff truth brudda
Nuff truth
For what it's worth man

If you wanna cross eyes with me
More time it's cos your cross eyed
Clockwise moves show your vision ain't 2020
You man have been getting hog-tied
Question everything, how I got wise
You ain't free if your looking to lock eyes
Got pride in me I can't knock twice
Every bar I add a couple of commas to my cost price
See I only know release through the hustle
I don't know peace, but at peace with my troubles
Still they been tryna take a piece of me
Look at this piece , I put pain in it easily
I put painkillers In my ink , see with me
Sometimes I don't even wanna be with me
No Cap
If I'm on it then I'm on it
Bun the time frame
24/7 grind that's the mind frame
Look up to no figure , I live in my name
No looking back, I don't care how times changed
From 012 I been on it and I never mind changed
Hypocrite, look at me , look at how times changed
From a student to master
Every single draft got top marks
Drop bars, but I'm picky with the parker
All them man that wanna top charts, they got charred,
We ain't lookin for you after
Man wanna front , tell em dropback
Know I'm hot, too hot , but you clocked that init
Lyrically wanna catch contact
See your weak on the mic , but you got plaques init
Lookin to break with a contact
No vision so your gonna need contacts
All I gots Code-E's in my contacts
Yo I'm anti, so don't ever contact init
You won't see a hard life in my linens
But it's hard times that we live in
I got that
See I had to cut ties with my feelings
Only got eyes for my winnings ,
Other wise, it's eyes for the women
Fall in love for the night, then were sinning
Once bitten, twice I strive for a living
Don't get lost in the highs
I never lose sight of the ticking
Tocking, why I'm looking at clock
When I touch mic ,
You don't ever check your watch
Your just bopping
What now you wanna clock
Head getting spun when you
Hear all the bars that I'm dropping
Not checkin a feed to get feedback
I sow seeds, low key , then I reap that
Don't wait for the proceeds, I proceed and then I give receipts back
Believe that
I ain't doing role play for a pay roll
Setting bench marks and gettin my pay swole
See I sole trade
but never would trade soul for the money
I get lost looking for halos
Everybody wanna get something off you
with no kickback
One thing that I learned ,
Tryna be a rich black
All things that are earned,
You gotta give back
You man are click bait,
Make me wanna click back
See mans well known for my syntax
Barely touching my pinnacle
You love to watch from the peripheral listen to how I spit crack
Tekky but still visceral
I put my art on my sleeve
And still I remain intact
Treat wins like it's minimal
I don't get lost in the sauce
That's how I remain clinical
When they feel the impact
Man wanna front , tell em dropback
Know I'm hot, too hot , but you clocked that init
Lyrically wanna catch contact
See your weak on the mic , but you got plaques init
Lookin to break with a contact
No vision so your gonna need contacts
All I gots Code-E's in my contacts
Yo I'm anti, so don't ever contact init

Ooh I see you shining now
All them years
We were grinding
I see you gliding now
No need for rewinding now
Future was looking bright
It's about to get blinding now
All them late nights I was up writing
Now you big what you care about
All the years spent surviving
All them chicks
In the back of the
Range rover you riding
Ain't get you there
Tell me how d'you get you there
I been doing overtime
Overtime for the cheques you bear
Mansion that your living in
Factions that your chilling in
Big stages now
Your names the top billing in
Success everything about your life's
A synonym
Tell me which way do I go
Did you go switch up the flow
Was it through crud groove
Was it just us two
Man I know your more than able
But did you go through a label
Cos the way your dripping
Makes me wanna live it up
I'm sticking to my guts
No need for thinking
Know I'm sick enough
But the thing about your success
Got me thinking how will I blow
It's a tough guess
I got the skills but their blowing up
They got much less
Do I need a buttress
Do I just wait for my time
And when is that
See you don't have to worry now
Think it's time that you give back
I been short on this money now
Wishing big, but you live that
Envisioned this
Life that your living is
Mine my decisions
Define my position so
Say now
If your losing your faith
And going insane now
Leave it to me
Imma do you more than a favour
Imma show you what you can be
If you take part in it with me
Make art with me
Get your paper
You were losing your faith in this
When you came out
Looking for me
Know it's hard to see in the game now
Imma show you what you can be if you
Take part in it with me
Braveheart leave it to me
How d'you get here
Nine to fives with a shirt and tie
That's your life
You weren't meant here
Striving hard for promotions
Don't act a fool you resent here
Need to get back to booths
And the stages
Ain't nothing bless here
Know your getting some bread
And it's cool and that
But don't end here
Don't act like you can do this and music
See we don't blend here
Say you'll leave in the next year
Say the same thing the next year
Then the same thing the next year
Next thing you know your comfy
Next thing you know your grumpy
You wonder why
Tell yourself you love your job
Tell another lie
I should've just shut my gob
Now you want another life
See when I made advances
You wanted no second chances
See how the second dances and
Idol the devil chances
Tick tock
Now you got to kick rocks
Hitting bars to sip shots
Now your past a big block
I ain't here to serenade
When life gives you seconds
You let seconds aid
Take your mind off getting paid
And getting laid
Say now
If your losing your faith
And going insane now
Leave it to me
Imma do you more than a favour
Imma show you what you can be
If you take part in it with me
Make art with me
Get your paper
You were losing your faith in this
When you came out
Looking for me
Know it's hard to see in the game now
Imma show you what you can be if you
Take part in it with me
Braveheart leave it to me
Yo check it out
I saw myself checking out
The one ladies were checking out
Autographs get them out
I asked him how he get the clout
Humble brudda set it out
Said it's like chess
Don't be a pawn when you stepping out
Keep your mind setting out
Ain't nothing here black and white
Focus on your plan and execute
Over-stand the plight
Trust no-one
No-one but your a-alikes
Never let em stay the night
Make sure you getting paid tonight
Plant, yield
With your profit you make sure you build
Keep the press away
In turn it keep the stress away
Have a getaway
For times you need to get away
Arms length away for any suits you separate
Drugs kill
They'll be the first to throw your rep away
And your head away
Get you hooked like a featherweight
Never sell yourself short
Watch it affect the cheddar weight
Better deals
You better wait
Daily meditate
Say now
If your losing your faith
And going insane now
Leave it to me
Imma do you more than a favour
Imma show you what you can be
If you take part in it with me
Make art with me
Get your paper
You were losing your faith in this
When you came out
Looking for me
Know it's hard to see in the game now
Imma show you what you can be if you
Take part in it with me
Braveheart leave it to me
Say now
If your losing your faith
And going insane now
Leave it to me
Imma do you more than a favour
Imma show you what you can be
If you take part in it with me
Make art with me
Get your paper
You were losing your faith in this
When you came out
Looking for me
Know it's hard to see in the game now
Imma show you what you can be if you
Take part in it with me
Braveheart leave it to me

Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Waxing poetics with a clear flow
Watch the wave from the pier while your ears blow
I been on this tier but my years show
Front on my frontiers, while you peer
I been here, taking waves from these buccaneers
With a mere float
Acting shady but loving it
Man I groove put the crud in it
Humming too, cussing too
But not plugging it
You keep to hating
I use the hooks and lines no need for bait
No need to look blind when you rate
You been bumping me lately
Learnt the words with your chest
You been curbing my sets
Daily you urge to play me
But won't pay me respect
But won't lace me a check
First you play then reject the knowledge of me
Only scholars with me
Only brothers with black cards in their wallets with me
High rollers and money folders with promise with me
Stack holders and black chauffeurs in rovers with me
Who's colder than me?
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
They want more material
See the games passed out, getting more material
See my names passed out like something venereal
Keeping me under wraps
Sleeping on thorough tracks
Believe I got energy incessantly on my cash
Toast alone to my pedigree
Rose to thrones with no embassy
Microphone been my weaponry what
Think my pen just be hot
Call it fluke when everything I write tends to be hot
In the end what we got
They bite like Tyson, you busy doing the hyping
Busy queuing for miming, busy avoiding my kind
Waiting for co-signings
Give you a close line if I go over your head
Even for woke minds it might go over your head
I was in limbo, schizo
Window to my soul for raising the bar
Working on my range
Got deranged, I stayed in my yard
Making power plays, hit the stage
Embraced for the class
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move
Knock the door off hinges
You'll get more from the fringes
I've been raw from the cause
No hitting pause when I'm in this
I've been living more, dripping more
Now go on tell me another rapper you digging more
Who you biggin more
I'm who you spinning more
Spinning more when you mind your business
I ain't phased
If you give me pay in plays and don't give me praise
That ain't what gimme faith
My minds busy
Keeps the shades on my face whenever the shine hits me
It's a chase for a place, I was tryna get sick
Then I tried to get big
Then I tried to get rich
Then I just went do me
No ones taking my place
No ones setting my pace
No ones egging my race
I been on one
They say we got one
Coz they do be doing it one time riding shotgun
Imma make you question your faith like a hot nun
I've been on this from early days, why I got some
Not one
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
Watch em front on me
When they wanna move...

Eject that gimmick
See the way they get racks with it
Like they wanna vex man spirit
Label come, connect that digit
Now you get a next man mimic
Hands on a tech, rap with it
Say it with your chest, cap with it
Then you get a cheque, cash with it, flash with it
Eject that gimmick
See the way they get racks wid it
Like they wanna vex man spirit
Label come, connect that digit
Now you get a next man mimic
Hands on a tech, rap with it
Say it with your chest, cap with it
Then you get a cheque, cash with it , flash with it
Never tell a lie
I get into heads like a Gemini, never into what
Others reckon that I, should do
I move like I'm a weapon I
Aim, take shots, closing my second eye
See I'm easily triggered, by the use of a trigger
For the purpose of selling a bait
Getting millions of views they celelebrate
I communicate views ahead of a take
Don't hesitate slewing a head of a snake
Imbue flows, that's the way you lessen the weight
Got high rollers, to dress in a cape
But no address, for the way you presenting the weight
Just look at the way they bread an estate, but we all know
There ain't really no bread in estates
Head down my led in my stakes
Growing up misled in mistakes
Now a perfectionist, ahead of my class
But having to fast, that's the reason my head in state
Everybody getting passed, your dead in my wake
Say I'm going too fast, can't resozanate
Don't ask for a feat forgetting my rate
Don't talk much to these brands I delelegate
If it's cash in your hands it's better you wait
Rather ash in your hands it's better to take
Now man in the mirror, don't fall for a fate
Plan to be bigger
Don't let money exchange hands with a digger
I seen Sheitan with his hands on the trigger
Tryna sell cap like we inna
Mind to go back to snap backs
Their getting plaques for a killer
Getting all of the claps and the figure
And now another act want a trigger
Crud
Eject that gimmick
See the way they get racks with it
Like they wanna vex man spirit
Label come, connect that digit
Now you get a next man mimic
Hands on a tech, rap with it
Say it with your chest, cap with it
Then you get a cheque, cash with it, flash with it
Eject that gimmick
See the way they get racks with it
Like they wanna vex man spirit
Label come, connect that digit
Now you get a next man mimic
Hands on a tech, rap with it
Say it with your chest, cap with it
Then you get a cheque, cash with it, flash with it
They been doubting it
Watching my route, collect clout
Heads out, thinking I'm next out
I'm deep In your mouth init
But you talk like the gats in your mouth init
I rap how you wish, my gat is my mouth init
It's going down, no reason for drout
What's the juggling the crown and scheming about
Hmm, the king that's me
I don't share stage or the faith everybody believing about
Make a top one list, no leaving me out
Coz I don't catch bodies
Your thinking of leaving me out
Need a body of work
That look like Vivica Fox
Even then I'll never stop, no keeping me out
See it's rinse and repeat
I'm addicted to getting ink on a sheet
I'm addicted to being synced with a beat
Its sink or swim or you cheat
Seeee
But now your playing catch up
Pay another man to get your stats up
Do another vid and hold your gats up
But on stage with a man like me never match up
Accolades with a man like me, never match up
See the people hold their hats up
But I wonder why I never picked a plaque up
All you follow fashion boy, better back up
I'm the type to go to war with no back up
When you hear me rap
Make you wanna get your back up
I was focused on getting on the map
But these other acts they just wanna pick a mac up
Talking like you catching bodies everyday
But on any day know it's gonna catch up
Why I talk truth, never act up
Focus on my craft, get my cash up
Keep my led down, but I'm gunnin for the strapped up
Crud
Eject that gimmick
See the way they get racks with it
Like they wanna vex man spirit
Label come, connect that digit
Now you get a next man mimic
Hands on a tech, rap with it
Say it with your chest, cap with it
Then you get a cheque, cash with it, flash with it
Eject that gimmick
See the way they get racks with it
Like they wanna vex man spirit
Label come, connect that digit
Now you get a next man mimic
Hands on a tech, rap with it
Say it with your chest, cap with it
Then you get a cheque, cash with it, flash with it
With it, with it, with it, with it, with it, with it
With it, with it, with it, with it, with it, with it
With it, with it, with it, with it, with it, with it
With it, with it, with it, with it, with it, with it
