The Arrival
00:27

Hungry for things not offered by reality
Movement eventually ceased
Every will and every desire succumbed to
Except yours
Indeed it was not your own enemies that brought on your defeat
It was fear
As soon as the baton touched the sweat of our palms
We knew what had to be achieved
Nothing that had been unseen
But everything that has not yet been realised

Don't Stop Regardless

I'm from a different starshine
A world that exists way different to yo kind (Yeah)
Ain't nobody groomed to be wedded to hard times
And ain't no mother mourn for they son doin' hard time
And we like to hard grind (Woo)
Not for real estate or cream
Na, we do it for the love and to elevate the team (Team)
Poverty of pigment never reigned supreme
We brought to being what radicals dreamed
And I'm an actual king (King)
I grew up
Never questioned the glow up
Never spat at reflections
Love the suit God sewed up
Ha (Woo)
You deserve an Olympic gold
Wrestlin' with an identity that don' fit the mould

The chiefs of tomorrow
And we be like

And I made it this far 'cos we said

I chose artful release
Call me Pablo the way I sent my bars overseas (Seas)
Exploited a mistake on the part of the beast
Who underestimated the sons and daughters of queens like (Queens)

The Get Up
03:07
|
|||
Luh
I got tunnel vision
You can remove wax but why would you do that
If folks don't wanna listen (UH)
I could accrue ash and cloth from two sacks
And preach with prophet vision (Prophet vision)
Eyes wouldn't give two bats
I'm serving up true facts
But these folks swallow fiction (Yeah)
So I was 'bout to give up
But God said
"Get up! Get up!" (What?)
Make peace with the struggle
Make war with your bubble
Come on
"Get up! Get up!"
It's you vs you in the octagon
Don't tap!
Face down on the mat, legs trapped
Better find a way to
"Get up! Get up!" (Get on up)
All eyes on you
So what's your next move, son?
You better
"Get up! Get up!"
This is the get up, get up, get up
Make moves even when the fleece don't wet up
This is the get up, get up, get up
Break through even if the heat don't let up
This is the get up, get up, get up
This is the get up, get up, get up
This is the get up, get up, get up
Now everybody get up, get up
Fight the power (Woo)
Fight the power that feeds
The pack that attacks the Alpha (Woof)
And cannibalizes belief
Boy you a beast (Uh)
God didnt give no misdirection
So have a lil faith in that reflection
Be ready to get tested
All that time and energy invested
Will only pay off if you stay consistent (Yes)
First off
"Get up! Get up!"
The stakes is elevated
If I catch you hesitatin'
I'll be screamin at you
"Get up! Get up!"
Rappers prematurely celebratin'
Gettin local accolades
And actin like they made it
But the emperor's lookin hella naked
You just needa
"Get up! Get up!" (Better get on up)
The pressure to be genius is holding you down
But you been that, so
"Get up! Get up!" (Get up)
This is the get up, get up, get up
Make moves even when the fleece don't wet up
This is the get up, get up, get up
Break through even if the heat don't let up
This is the get up, get up, get up
This is the get up, get up, get up
This is the get up, get up, get up
Now everybody get up, get up
(Get on up)
There's something in the water! (Water)
Can you feel it (Woo)
It tastes like confidence (Eziokwu!)
Drink with me
We ain't going down
But if we go down
We'll go swingin
We ain't going down
But if we go down we'll go swingin (Go down swingin)
We ain't going down
But if we go down
We'll go swingin
We ain't going down
But if we go down
We'll go
This is the get up, get up, get up
Make moves even when the fleece don't wet up

Hundred twenty keys on the body
'Bout a hundred locks on the head
Ha, I started out for love
Now I'm doin this for bread
And I put on for my cities
Lagos, AK, Birkenhead
I'm that one in every hundred years
And I'm only 'bout a third the way
My legacy would take the reigns
If my spirit left the earth today
I put hours in, I worked away
Homie, I climbed the ranks
I earned my way
So many times that I've been turned away
But it's all come to what you've heard today
So I'm clean, I'm calmer

I wrote this rap on the central side
It was me and the homie Maz
You know me and the brodie's style by now
On the beat I can only spaz
I love this music
But I won't leave my crib 'til you show me cash
I came a long way from that hallway
On my mom, I ain't goin' back
Why?
Cos they don't come 'round no more
I don't really see the sun 'round no more
Just a couple more years in the game
We 'gon have it all shutdown for sure
I'm still up in my hoodie, wassup?
But I got a little product for mom
All the people that doubted me then
All them other m********** is done, done
Ay, Pro-Club tee, black jeans on
I don't need no these imposters
Takin' my boys off the corners
Dealin' with GOAT level problems
So no offers
Or send 'em now if you want us
'Cos we ain't takin' no offers
Once we're sitting down in that office (facts)
No deals, just partners
I'm clean, regardless
We scheme, we harvest
Don't need, no sponsors

The best of you
The best of you
Yeah
Been around and I seen a lot
As a yout, I'd dream a lot
No cap I switched teams a lot
Just wanted to be seen a lot
Young, Black, belief in God
brown kids tried to beef a lot
The white ones they would tease and mock
A lot friendships
The reaper got
Didn't see me on the screen a lot
Had to build me from scratch
Unpacked all
the self hate
So the self love could unhatch
So when I'm on, I am on
When I'm on the beat I'm unmatched
I put my life on God
I give it all thats on facts
Give it all
And leave the rest up
Don't want it all
Just need the best of you
Heed the call and leave the rest up

Letting doubt rule me
I can't hide or let fear dim my shine
I gave up giving up what made the best of me
No longer got my self worth on the line
Couldn't go nowhere or speak my mind
You were so scared of me reaching my prime
Ooooh, fix your eyes on me now
Can't lock me down
No fears and no doubts,
I'm best of me now
Give it all
And leave the rest up
Don't want it all
Just need the best of you
Heed the call and leave the rest up
Give it all

Just Believe the best in you

This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe, what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe ,what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck
I made a foreign legacy
You a foreign entity
Fellowshiping with the beast
Get the cracker get the cheese
When you out the door, you might get a soul
But it'll be under they feet
When they kick you to the curb
Where do you think you gon' get ya piece?
Screamin and grittin' ya teeth
Throwin' your fists in the breeze
Suck it up and let it be
You been preparing the sheets
Made the bed where you must sleep
You been asleep
I hope you keep that energy
When you is forced to live with your sworn enemies
Who gon' pick up all the pieces
Promise it ain't gon be me
It ain't gon be me who gives you a table to sit
You been away for a bit
The ranks are filed, the labels are fixed
And nobody saving you shhhh
And it gon' be comical
You doin' the prodigal thing
Seen you walk like a king
But now
This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe, what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck cease
(You keep buckin' fo 'em, buckin fo 'em)
Friend or a foe, what it be?
(Where you stand? Where you stand?)
I put my people over greed
(I put my people over greed)
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck
Thought you was cut from the cloth
But now you just buck for the boss
Tried to get my opinion across
But now I'm just cuttin' my loss
Debatin' with you was a trip
When I was speakin' I came to the realisation
I'm grieving the death of somebody still breathin'
While I'm in mid conversation
I moved out a house made of glass a few years ago
So I ain't got no problem throwin' a stone
That carries the weight of the struggles of people
All over the globe
Folks that you don't hesitate to insult
Sayin' "you needa get over the boats"
Tellin 'em "you needa strap up ya boots"
Like they don't got boots that are struck on they throats
You keep askin' me questions
Like we ain't been givin' you answers
We see the strings
You playin' the part
You're tryna be a good dancer
Pop for Master
Like you the favourite crown
Your get up kinda suits you now
This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe, what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck cease
(You keep buckin' fo 'em, buckin fo 'em)
Friend or a foe, what it be?
(Where you stand? Where you stand?)
I put my people over greed
(I put my people over greed)
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck

Pour One Out
03:13
|

Please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Oh, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
But I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I'm grateful that I saw the dawn
Even just briefly
I thank God that the earth still beneath me
I'm prayin' that my mama never have to grieve me
A lotta figures would give anything to be me
And prolly walk a mile in my shoes real easy
Whenever my motherland knows war
My mouth goes dry and my gut's so sore
Peep the news, but the twitter feed shows more
I scream all the pain away, behind a closed door
Scared that my soul is pickin' up and bad omens
Eyes get exposed to so many last moments
Homies ask how you doin' and how you copin'
I don't even know, just pop that thing open
Then I just think 'bout how we on stolen land
And who got robbed for my phone in hand?
Who worked to death my clothing brands?
And how the can you own a man?
I hear 'em callin'
There's pain in the atmosphere
The rain just keeps falling
Where can we go from here
Please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Oh, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
But I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
Listen
I never really been afraid to get real
Never layers that I wouldn't let peel
Never had to trip about the next deal
Never had to think of how to get steel
And steal cos my kids are worried bout the next meal
Yo, don't get it twisted
This ain't a flex
It's a nod to my privilege
Stayin' in check
Some weaponize
And muzzle the claim of debt
Some fetishize the struggle and pain instead
But
I hear 'em calling
There's pain in the atmosphere
The rain just keeps falling
Where can we go from here
Please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Oh, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
Lord, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
The sun will go about its business
I hope it has some light for me
Lord, please pour one out for me
If I don't wake up from sleep
Lord, take me up into Heaven
Where I can abide in peace
But I can't abide in peace
I can't abide in peace
Lord, I can abide in peace

Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time
Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time
Look, look
If I could collect those seconds and stash 'em up in bag
And lock 'em up in a safe for which I only knew the pass
I would
And play 'em back while I'm 30 thou' over land
Or layin' up on the sand while the sun is takin' a bath
And throwin' em colours up while I'm kickin' back with a glass
Uh
It's getting more and more difficult to reach back
Each moment has its own grave
The cemetery's the past
That's somethin' everyone knows
Not revolutionary facts, but
Sometimes it hit different
That moment when you realise things ain't gon be infinite
Every word yo brain said you just wish that your lips did
Acceptin' that you just gon' have to settle for fiction
That's a different kind of pain that we have to sit with
The kind of pain that folks deal with by sippin' that liquid
The kind of pain that only fade when seconds get tickin'
And says forget tomorrow the present's all that we gifted
And that's it
Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time
Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time
Setenta quatro peligro no puedo ir with no pass
Southside of O city
Lived next to Kendra Kendra Moises
Apueda was hell inside were demons out of a glass
Crack epidemic extended
But still we made it through all that
Pain comes from a war that we cannot see
Emotional thinking about all the pain I've seen
Saw my little brothers casket and could not speak
De vecino a amigo ahora perdido
R.I.P Milio
Goin' through deep depression today
I have to remind myself that the past I cannot reshape
I walk around like I'm cool
But pretend a smile on my face
I am not fake I just choose to escape the pain with the faith
I am human and I am weak
Face so many obstacles
Barely can sleep
Stay busy just to feel ok so I can breathe
If nothing truly last forever
When does the pain leave?
Ayúdame Cristo
Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time
Ooo ooh ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?

Falling where I cannot reach you

Oooh it's the etiquette in me
Spittin letters over beats
For the betterment of peeps
I hope there is a heaven for a G
Puttin letters into tweets
Givin enemies a piece
Matter fact if you don't collect a fee
Put that pen upon a leash
And protect ya inner peace
Time's scarce
And ya seconds ain't for keeps
So if people tryna leech
Then retreat
And learn to
Just let it, let it, let it, let it,
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Better just let it, let it, let it, let it
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Ska wara, ska wara, go mnate go mnate
Ba tshotse di-maserati, nna re palame di-bus
Ba re phazamisa ka madi-madi
Go sena juice, go le kgadi-kgadi
Ke kgalegile, tlhalefile, ha ke bona be lebile
Madi-madi a tshologa, tshokolo e tlile
Ya goroga, e fitlhile
Kgadi-kgadi mo ditshikeng, but eish we will-
Just let it, let it, let it, let it,
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Better just let it, let it, let it, let it
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Yes I know that I should let it go
Because it's sappin' my energy
Without it I could've been broke
Made more than a few cents
Every cent go
Buried in a sea
Man, the ceiling can't grow anymore
It's a spiritual healing of ego
Trippin' until you flippin' off all the people
Heave ho'
That's a he but you lost like Nemo
Swimmin' with the fishes
That ain't nothin' to dream though
Just let it, let it, let it, let it,
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Better just let it, let it, let it, let it
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Just let it, let it, let it, let it,
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Better just let it, let it, let it, let it
Let it, let it, let it go
Just let it, let it, let it go
Keep pushin,
It ain't worth the energy
Oooooh, I'm busy workin' the system
I'm earnin' a livin'
Definitively murderin' rhythms
I let it go
You need a kernel of wisdom
You burning and itchin'
To get up out that personal prison
Oooh, I let it go
I'm freein' minds
I'm free in God
I'm freakin large
Ship to the stars
Nicki Minaj
I let it go
Step out the dark
See the mirage
Don't be a fool
Care for your heart
Just Relax
And let it go

Yeah
Woo!
Beat up, bullied and dunked on
Beat up, bullied and dunked on
Bullied and dunked on
Yeah
Uh
Let's get it
We only rock with mavericks
If you a clone then step off the canvas
Lest you get beat up, bullied and dunked on
We gon' leave you beat up, bullied and dunked on
We said
We only rock with mavericks
If you a clone then step off the canvas
Lest you get beat up, bullied and dunked on
We gon' leave you beat up, bullied and dunked on
Yeah, yeah
I move excellently
It was pressed into me
Descended from the parents
I inherited three passports
I can flex a triple residency
Probably why I'm passin' boundaries so effortlessly
If a rapper wanna step
Then step with hesitancy
Cos I'd wreck 'em with ease
Flow epidemic on these beats
That I finesse into being
Ain't got a reservoir of seconds
I can spend on you dweebs
Think I gotta a ton of patience
Homie, test it and see
I undertook a mission with impossible odds
I can't cruise with no Tom uncles
I obviously not easily boxed
That's why they be askin' what do I rock
It's Tino Rangatiratanga
And abolish the cops
Aw yeah
Unapologetic with my phonetic
No fear
Medal up the team
There ain't no pedestal here
It's real
We don't do it for the aesthetic
Not here
But we nice right here
'Cos
We only rock with mavericks
If you a clone then step off the canvas
Lest you get beat up, bullied and dunked on
We gon' leave you beat up, bullied and dunked on
We said
We only rock with mavericks (Mavericks)
If you a clone then step off the canvas (Canvas)
Lest you get beat up, bullied and dunked on
We gon' leave you beat up, bullied and dunked on
Word to the doubters who robbin me of my flowers
I'm working too many hours
Check the time sheet
Cut the sugar out my life but she tellin' me that I'm sweet
I sleep when the job is done
So never, too clever
Who's your favourite?
I'm better
Flow wetter
Fro dready like Edy from old tekken
Uh
Insecure in your position so you checkin up
Check the front without the rear
Out of love or outta fear
I ain't got no competition 'less I'm lookin' in the mirror
Oh dear
Sayin' that you love just so you can be my peer
Remember when they hated 'cos I had the different hair
Now they wanna be invited when it's time to throw the cheers
What the **** you think this is?
You wanna know the man but you was tryna kill the kid
Tryna ride my train you wasn't givin' me a lift
****'s tragic
Self evident to everyone you ain't no maverick
We only rock with mavericks
If you a clone then step off the canvas
Lest you get beat up, bullied and dunked on
We gon' leave you beat up, bullied and dunked on
We said
We only rock with mavericks (Mavericks)
If you a clone then step off the canvas (Canvas)
Lest you get beat up, bullied and dunked on
We gon' leave you beat up, bullied and dunked on
D-d-d-d-dunk on 'em

Yo Q
There's been a couple developments since I last wrote
So I'm splashin' ink on the pad again as your past soul (Four letters)
Still prayin' you fixed the plumbin' for that cashflow
And your spiritual body amassed growth
Dude, you got a protégé
She peepin' on your every step
Every path you travel down
And every flag you represent
They craft the composition of her life
So she the evidence of every decision you relished in
That's no embellishment
So I pray you hustled
With your moral compass calibrated
Minefields of identity
I hope you helped her navigate 'em
Anything she win, big or small, you better celebrate it
Even if she doesn't win at all, that she is validated
Lastly
If there's more I hope you did the same for them
And put your money where yo mouth is homie
Don't just pray for men
Keep chasing up every damn opportunity
Don't just wait for them
Love God, wife and fam
Signed you
Later man
Uh
Dear me,
Keep grindin' and shinin'
You always gon' have haters
Don't mind 'em
Don't worry about the drinks
And the trips to the Islands
Just focus on the land
And how you gon' buy it
Yeah I'm from C.P.T, we built different
You pay me for that extra mile
It'll always go the distance
And keep on lookin' forward
Don't get caught reminicisin'
'Cos you might catch a case
If the opps go missin'
Listen, I've been tryna learn from these mistakes
Before I make 'em
By lookin' at these people wearin' masks, Jason
Make sure you don't trip over the past
It can't break you
And start lookin' into the future, that's so Raven
I know it's hard learnin' all on your own
But try to remember, the best part of being grown
Is gettin' to do you, no matter what the future holds
So keep on lookin' up
And build you a real home
Black diamond made from the pressure
As you learn better, do better
Stay on your path to pursue G.O.D
You'll maneuver better
Everything else is added
Including cheddar
You right at the cusp
Yeah at the precipice
Fight of a warrior
A heavyweight champion
Remember who you are
Lock your door, don't let the devil in
Hope you remain suave
With a charm that is heaven-sent
Bless you kid
Mental health has been tough on you
Hope you learn how to heal from the heartbreak
That will come in multiple ways
All the joy they will steal from
Plant a tree with a mustard seed
Allow it grow, believe it will
Stand in the shade and chill, son
That's faith talk, ha
Hope you look fear in the eye
While standin' firm
Tell anxiety keep its day job
Now walk through it on your way to God
Posey
Yeah
This 'bout the only conversation I have time for
These self talks on long walks on sea shores
See, she's more than not theirs and not yours
Yeah she's you, when you were me, now let's see
Things over here are pretty bleak sometimes
But I'd gladly take these L's so you can live your life
I got a lot of living left before I pass the baton
It's coming along
Predictions I don't wanna make, nah
Because
'Cos the universe inside of me
Knows you better than I do myself
And every time I stare away from you
It's clear
I get this feeling in my chest you see
Whenever I'm not being the best of me
When we get closer there is parity
And it seems like
We get closer everyday
And it gets clearer everyday
