Be For:

There are two definitions to this EP, the first being literally being “for our time”. In the current era of musicians, like myself from London, people tend crave and look to the states for answers and are quick to criticise the music from our own home. Some may disagree – but I speak from experience. This EP is the project that demonstrates there is hope where we’re from and where I’ve come from and we should unite in that. We all have a story to tell. This project is about Truth, Love and Passion.

Before:

The second meaning of this project is its nostalgic presence. This being a story telling project, it is filled with reflecting on situations and life experiences. The whole theme sonically is driven by reminiscence; I wanted to bring the same feeling or something close to the feeling, you felt when Hip Hop was at its peak of greatness and what is said actually meant something. I was born in 1993, and with this project I wanted to give people that same feeling of when music and Hip Hop was appreciated and respected by the masses in the 90's, and bring that feeling back to my home city and the world.

BeFor Our Time, For The People.

Beautiful Mercy

Bump That

A rough version of a song about a struggle for happiness and hope. 
By Anna Warren and Claire Royston

Lighthouse

yung god.....

additional vocals by Emmanuel Davis

LYRICS : 

Yung God when I ride up 
Not too many that can fuck with me
Never hung up on the bullshit
I cant afford that type of luxury
Howd I get so faded
Howd I get so faded
Im boutta do a show in Paris
I swear Im feelin like I made it

Makin deposits off of bein a prophet
Turnin visions into riches way too big for my pockets
Baby girl Im a star
I suggest you acknowledge 
While you were scalin out your pride
I was weighing my options 
Like aint no room in my pictures for bitches I end up croppin
Ive been movin and flippin and livin life like Im poppin
Im the yung yacht owner
Bitch and Im not sober
Yea they had me on probation but ill be done in Cctober 

You dont have to love me love me 
But you gon have to fuck with me 
You dont have to love me love me 
But you gon have to fuck with me

Yung God when I ride up 
Not too many that can fuck with me
Never hung up on the bullshit
I cant afford that type of luxury
Howd I get so faded
Howd I get so faded
Im boutta do a show in Paris
I swear Im feelin like I made it

Society tryna reduce me to simplicity
But little do they know that Im designed by the divinity
Not wrapped up in your rules
Im intertwined with the infinity
Baby close your eyes 
Youll realize that youre feelin me 
Sip G-I-N
Flip these problems
Flip these hoes into 16's ahhh shit
Howd I get so faded 
Howd I get so faded

You dont have to love me love me
But you gon have to fuck with me
You dont have to love me love me
But you gon have to fuck with me  

Yung God (Prod. Russ)

i bring it to the light.....

LYRICS : 

Y'all gon have to do better
I can't believe what I'm seeing
All this bullshit going on
The industry is deceiving
All the masses
Pitching rappers as these independent grinds
Meanwhile there's been a label right behind them the whole time
Fake shit call it out
You were plugged before your first song
I was puttin in work
You were getting worked on
Yo fans are fickle
Cuz your come up is a mystery
My fans gon stick with me
Cuz me and them got history
Longer than 2 songs
You don't know how to build
You tried to start at the roof ah
You won't be here for too long
I don't fuck with crews unless you're the one who put the crew on
The rest of y'all got buzz because he put you on a few songs
Ooo umm did that strike a nerve
If the shoe fits then wear it
Either way I know the truth imma share it
See these rappers sign deals
Labels know what they're doing
They tell the rapper don't announce it
So the people keep rooting

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

I'm comin thru exposing fake shit
God can't save you
Youre a boss?
You gotta boss
And that boss rapes you
Barely pays you
But you cool with it
You're a soldier unaware that you're a lieutenant
I gotta gripe with the media
All of y'all are wanna be's
Producers and rappers
Down for sodomy
Dick taking
Cuz the industry tells you to
It's fucked up I had a standard that I held you to
I'll name names if you provoke me
So shut your fucking mouth
My platform is way bigger
Than the ones that turned me down
Bunch of grown men and women
Talkin bout grown men and women for a livin
Man you gotta be kidding
Call me bitter
Call me jealous
Call me this
Call me that
This is 10 years grinding what the fuck you call that
Made the beats wrote the songs sang the hooks
And I mixed it
Everybody's gotta switch and y'all just flipped it

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

You're an industry artist
I'm an artist in the industry
Me myself and I that's the holy fucking trinity
I partnered with Columbia
Partnered is the key word
We split the profits 50/50
Better do your research
Came in with my own fanbase
Sold out tours around the world before the handshakes
You see I play the game well
You let the game play you
You don't know your own power
You think the label saved you
Now subconsciously you owe them
You're submissive with your actions
Then you flop flop flop
And you wonder what happened
Couple things
You dropped one song and signed a deal
You have less than 10 songs out
You're not real
So the song became bigger than the artist
People know the song but they don't know the artist
Not enough songs to become their favorite artist
Not enough songs to be a headline artist
I could do a week long set if I performed my whole catalogue
Every single song the crowds sing and rap along
Fuck a summer I'm a decade rapper
You're here now I'll be here a decade after
I put out 11 albums

Exposed (Prod. Russ)

i gotta keep on goin....

LYRICS : 

From the moment I wake up
I start packing all my stuff
Tell the homies 
Tell the family 
I gotta keep on goin 

I don't know what day it is 
I don't know what month it is 
I can't love a girl 
Because I'm way too much in love with this
Different states 
Different countries 
Crossing different continents 
Self beliefs my diving board 
I'm swimming in accomplishments
Haven't slept since 06 
Main focus is stay focused  
Santorini wine tasting plus Amalfi coasting 
Took my mom with me 
Cuz without her there'd be none of this 
I think she'd agree she probably needs a brand new bucket list 
Eating off my dreams Im my personal chef 
7 women in one night that's just my personal best Sent 110 to the family 
Sent 15 to my homie 
So I don't feel bad about my chain or my Rollie 
Don't approach with me assumptions 
I promise that you know nothing 
My family's legs got caught off while my bank account keeps on jumping 
So I gotta keep on going 
It's bigger than me 
That's just the day one ambition in me

From the moment I wake up
I start packing all my stuff
Tell the homies 
Tell the family 
I gotta keep on goin

Yea a nigga settin all my bars high they can't follow mine
Try to trace me like a jaw line 
Shine like a gold mine
So my bottom line grow 4 times in a week 
I got a gold mind, and its go time I got no time for the weak
This week been showtime after showtime I'm still finding my peak 
dunno what day it is now 
dunno what month it is
I'm tryin to hold my girl down 
I'm sure I love her more than this 
Now Bassy why you always missin 
Bassy baby on a mission
Speak on love cause hate is rampant 
put that cancer  on  remission
Listen, Followed my passion it led me to purpose 
Took me so long just to find out my worth 
I went from knee deep to beneath the surface 
Beneath the surface 
Beneath that 
Living above my lows
I'm Living above my lows
The shows sell out but the boy won't 
And god got us, these hoes don't 
I dropped the hottest shit in 16 
They still sleep- bet
Just finna do that shit again
It's off wit everybody head
U ain't gotta give me mine nigga nah pay me every fuckin cent 
Ima let the squad handle all the rest
And God gon handle whatever left there

From the moment I wake up
I start packing all my stuff
Tell the homies 
Tell the family 
I gotta keep on goin
