LYRICS & DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW:

A song about the beautiful pressures that come with your family & friends believing in your dreams.

LYRICS:

I'm a starvin' artist with my heart up on my sleeve 
tryna start a legacy to stretch as far as you can see 
never in it for the money but the marketing is easy 
when you're broke with bad equipment but this quality competes 
damn right 
don't it feel lovely when you're supported? 
people sharing your vision and taking actions toward it 
people sharing your music and then singing your choruses 
but no one really knows how much it means to this foreign kid 
(no) nobody knows 
nobody knows 
how many flows 
i got up under my nose 
some of them outta control 
when i'm alone 
thinking about all my goals 
thinking about the approach 
pick up the phone 
w/ feezy 6 in the mor'nin' 
zoning 
figuring out how to blow up 
like damn 
nigga the industry full of ridiculous politics 
i'm sick of the shit anybody who's killing ' it 
isn't acknowledged quick 
i'm an inch away 
from pistol banging hip hop and shit 
but i just refrain 
and just complain to my squad and sing 

isn't this all a part of the dream? 
nothing is ever all as it seems 
i didn't expect the road to be clean 
but what the fuck it take to become a king? 
x2 

isn't what you wanted(ISNT THIS WHAT U WANTED) 
isn't what you dreamed of? 
(LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) 

isnt what you wanted boy? 
isn't what you dreamed of? 
isn't this what you been chasing 
ever since you was 13 huh? 
didn't you ask Allah for this 
aren't you blessed with your team bruh? 
didn't you want the hardest flow of 2017 huh? 
didn't you want the conscious 
to take over the mainstream? 
in a way that you can pave 
and make a lane where u reign king? 
the people have told you Kendrick & Cole 
is where you're ranking 
everybody understands that the music industry's 
really changing 
so what are you gonna do when it's time? 
are you reppin' the city you in or you reppin' sudan? 
are you forever developing music and perfectin' your rhymes? 
are you forever spreading the messages of peace like Islam? 


isn't this all a part of the dream? 
nothing is ever all as it seems 
i didn't expect the road to be clean 
but what the fuck it take to become a king? 
x2 

isn't what you wanted(ISNT THIS WHAT U WANTED) 
isn't what you dreamed of? 
(LOVE, LOVE, LOVE)

Dreams (prod. by Dran Fresh)

LYRICS & DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW:

A song about the dreams & innocence we all have as children.

LYRICS:
CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE
TYPIN' UP MY LYRICS AND
JUST FREESTYLIN' WITH MY SISTER THEN
SHE TOLD ME TO TRY TO KEEP THE RHYTHM SICK
POUR YOUR SPIRIT INTO LYRICISM
BOY YOU'LL KILL IT AND THE WITNESSES'LL FEEL THIS
KEEP IT REAL AND CLEAN AND KEEP ON BUILDIN'
YOU'LL SEE FANS PUT HANDS UP TO THE CEILIN'
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN SHE TOLD ME
'LISTEN TO TUPAC AND ALL THE VETERANS 
SET AND TAKE NOTES
YOU CAN BE BETTER THAN THOSE THEN I JUST FROZE (WHOA)
SHE REALLY MELLOWED MY SOUL
THAT'S SOMETHIN' TO TELL AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD 
SKIN FULLA MELANIN 
REALLY THE CHANCES ARE BETTER IN DIGGIN' UP TREASURES 4 GOLD huh
BUT I DON'T WANT LUXURY
AND TO BE REAL THAT VISION STUCK WITH ME
MAKIN' THE WORLD BETTER FOR THE COMPANY
LIVIN' INSIDE OF IT MAKIN' IT COMFORTING
VIA THIS MUSIC ILLUMINATING ALL THE MINDS
ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AT PRIME
STORYTELLING AND LEAVIN' THE LISTENER GUESSIN 
WHATS NEXT I GUESS IT IS TIME (4 THE CHORUS)


i miss my childhood in a sense 
but i still got childhood innocence uh
i miss my childhood 
miss my childhood innocence
i miss my childhood 
got that childhood innocence



CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE
TRYNA GROW UP INTO MEN
little dudes
middle school
miniscule with grown up 
SENTIMENTS
ever since a kid 
i been tryna rap
man back then every line was wack
but lemme tell a story to remind you that
if it wasn't for the man that's behind the track beat
i woulda spent my life just acting like a rapper 
reciting their rap sheets
i would print out, memorize and practice
come back to school and act like thats actually my lyrics
my work of art from my heart burn
then i met a little kid named Arthur
makin' his own beats and raps that were actually harder
than me 
i was like sheesh
he was like 12
i was 13
i needed help
rap game weak
in my first week 
in a new school new dude Sudanese
he came to me said he heard me speakin
sayin' i rap and he said he's Swedish
no further information's really needed
this beast was unleashed by THAT genius
and that's real
now we're a squad with the illest rap here
AKA coming and we givin' mad chills
to the listeners, then we'll wait for that deal
that'll make this skill set pay these damn bills 
and that's real
now we're a squad with the illest rap here
AKA coming and we givin' mad chills

Childhood Innocence (prod. AKA Blobby)

LYRICS & DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW:

A song about an emotional situation that I was inspired to share.

LYRICS:

she said she needs some help 
she said that she'd take her life soon
she doesn't believe in herself
because all of her friends say she's psycho
she said she believes in hell
but she went and got rid of the bible
cause she don't believe in a heaven
and hell is the only thing prevalent right now
she said that 
hell is the only thing prevalent right now
so what can she do besides live in the moment
she's fumbling thru cause she ain't got a coach 
and her company's foolish just look at her homies
just fuckin' abusin' the drugs
cause it's something that's cool and then plus
you could delete all the truth with a buzz
singing

somebody help me    	
let somebody know
that i need somebody to love me
before I go 

i need somebody to help me now
tell me now
have you ever watched your drunk father 
slap your druggy mother till she's melting down
tellin' her daughter to step right out
even though she know it's no escape
tryna gimme hope but i know no ones safe
because poppa knows when to close the gates in this
lonely place
i call home
i'm a phony faking i'm strong
just know that i'm not okay when i'm alone
i cut myself
i fuck myself up till i numb myself
till i'm bleeding so much that if i covered it up
i could make you believe I killed someone else
and if you're thinking that is heartless
take a trip into the darkness with me

 listen cause most of this story is true
it happened to a girl i knew back in school
i heard it then i had to tell it to you 
this what they never tell you on the news
her daddy is an alcoholic
mother is an alcoholic
the daughter is melancholic
cause the damage is catastrophic
and she need a steroid or an anabolic
just to handle all this
animosity it's mad symbolic
her life is sorta like a bad hydraulic
going up and down at random moments
and it's mad annoying
back in Jordan 
where I used to live
my classmate faced abusive shit
her daddy drunk like he usually is
sippin' booze until the dude's fully lit
little did he know of the effect
that he had on his daughter, she was stressed
and the teachers that taught her could see the mess
but she'd blame it on PMS, she thinks it's best
just to keep it in,
never let nobody see within 
her notebook was her dearest friend
where she could let all of her demons in
but one day
she was having her lunch break
then the class bully wanted fun play
he was fast and he took some duct tape
snatched her notebook then he'd run away
he opened it up started flipping the pages
and every page had the same thing 
written over again and again and inscripted
read it aloud and the only thing written was
'somebody help me'

somebody help me    	
let somebody know
that i need somebody to love me
before I go 

that was the most 
embarassing moment i ever faced
remembering days of childhood made me start to resort to Haze
starting to smoke and blaze
everyday
and mix the occasional drink
cause all of my memories draining my energy
my whole life has been a waste god
damn it i been in a maze
every since grade one
nobody told me to stay patient enough 
or stay strong
nobody told me to face any of this without a bottle
look at my role models
i hate them and they fucking hate me
and thats clear to see


her daddy is sick of her company clearly
his daughter turned into a druggy that's flirty
he's tired of all of the money she's burning
he's giving her off to his cousin to marry

Burning Leaves || صفق محروق

A song reflecting the heartbreak that has come with Summer 2020. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen & support! We are forever grateful for every stream and purchase! So much love <3 lyrics below!

It's a lost summer, summer
It's a lost summer without you 
Without you 
It's a lost summer, summer 
It's a lost summer without you 
Without you 

It’s a lost summer without you babe 
Heat don’t feel the same 
The city’s been pouring rain 
And I just been watching it from my window 
Like where does the time go 
Where did the time go 
It’s slipping like a memory through the cracks 
No matter what we do can’t get it back 
Been tryna use it wisely 
Damned if I spend it crying 
When I got better things to do 
And none of it involves you 
But I’d be lying 
If I said you ain’t in the back of my mind 
Like ice cream, sunshine 
And being outside with you 

It’s a lost summer, summer 
It’s a lost summer without you 
Without you 
It's a lost summer, summer 
It's a lost summer without you 
Without you 

Summer feels like winter 
When I'm with you 
Summer feels like winter 
When I'm with you 
Summer feels like winter 
When I'm with you 
Summer feels like winter 
When I'm with you 

I never thought I'd feel like this or be like this 
But Eaz been a G like this 
You want the real then go read 'bout this 
Realised no backboard you can't rebound this 
It's peak like this 
But let's not speak 'bout this 
The OG Big Eaz they remix this 
Check this quick 
Told her I don't feel no shit 
I'm a don I don't feel no hits 
That's real life shit 
A couple of summers that went missing 
Now I'm fishing for something a lil different 
You see my vision still blurry from that rain last year 
Now I realised the pain lasts here 
I don't wanna fight and fuss 
I wanna light this bud 
Talk about the nicer stuff in life 
But she don't wanna ride this bus 
It's full of ice and bumps 
I'm tryna find some life tonight 

It’s a lost summer, summer 
It’s a lost summer without you 
Without you 
It's a lost summer, summer 
It's a lost summer without you 
Without you
