ancient Magic Muzick

prod. desolate lands
vox. sakaree

lyrics;;
i hope ur sick to ur stomach like swine flu
im up times 6 million, its time i dined too
real wizard, think its time to remind you
ancient magic Muzick & its riddled with divine runes
i sit in silence, steady spamming up the fine tune
do it so good they gotta sit there n rewind thru
the sonics sound like there's sumn stood behind you
sending shivers shootin up ya back til the spine loose
she did me so dirty, had me tryna find noose
hearin screams of sheer bloody horror as my mind ooze
bad bitch on line 1, bank on line 2
sittin in the dark, praying gods light shines thru
i leave a beat 6 deep, they gotta find clues
boarded up the windows but my demons still climb through
im gettin king charles, u man gotta shine shoes
sonning so many shit rappers, gotta tie tubes


you little cunt, i got the game in a stun lock
used to get high, big smiles til the fun stopped
ur chattin shit from the screen, funds numlocked
sour ways behind a sweet face like a kumquat
i cast spells on my foes, never gun cocked
watched the bitch build a glass house then she flung rocks
i dunno where to call home, been spun blocks
kicked out of every place i go, been shunned lots
hop scotch to the money like it's birthright
steady makin waves whilst these man steady surf tides
extend my arm out and see perched flies
big necromancer, cast shadows as i lurk skies
my ego thru the roof, yea i need first prize
walk into a room, cast doom n i murk guys
we both know the truth, it's no use to spurt lies
i'm hitting back to back home runs on my worst try

summoning Circle

prod. desolate lands
vox. sakaree

lyrics;;
the worst dreams are the ones where i fall in love
push came to shove, tripped, spirit caged like a dove
i set it free over melodys n coarse drums
of course im hurting, pain stuck to the shoes like gum
that'd b like 4 fingers no thumbs
or maybe brum without the accent
accidentally scarred my lungs
accidentally won, spun round the block twice
everything is destined but i stay steady rollin dice
i gotta get it how i get it, ain't no room for mice
set the traps on the rats, they spun me round the block thrice
paid the price; its a hefty sum
the low hum of glum runnin thru the trees like forest gump
im in a slump, road bumps wit a side of strife
sittin on me heavy, steady contemplate into the night
what a sight, it leaves me scratching heads like lice
didn't even wanna rap, now im lapping em and i do it nice

five toes in, other five are scared for their life
keep the crumbs, i'm a breadwinner, need the prize
it's not a stye in my eyes, its crystal clear skies
still i felt the storm had to duck n hide
hooded up i'm lookin like darth sidious
i summon lightning out the fingertips, and it shines bright
im big brawn n might, gimme any lip and its clips 
me and pain tight, movin like jermaine n mike
i leave em wit a fright, big wizard
shifting colours on em like a lizard, slit tongue n stifled cries 
the taste was sweet, but the details were full of flies
none the wise, signed my life away to devils in disguise
desolation bankroll the moneys never shy
try to match the moves, i'm makin bread and it ain't rye
im on my knees askin god why
he says he gives the toughest lessons to the strongest soldiers front lines

hefty Sum

lyrics;;
[sakaree]
i used to wake up, smoke, smoke again, 
make music, smoke til i choke again, beat cheeks, smoke, 
put on chief keef then i smoke again, buss a joke about how much i smoke, 
take a toke, blow smoke again
take a nap, cant dream cause i smoked again, 
wake up, rinse repeat, smoke til i croak again
make beats, soak the smokin in, 
hope that i pack the smoking in, always try then it ropes me in
i float again, smoke til my wounds opening, im broke again
wealthy in the health til i smoke again
i sit playin wit the devil, steady poking him
stay provoking him, gotta do it jus to cope again
big wizard and im focused in, smoke another loop n then i smoke again,
everything gravy and its coating them
the feature costs a pretty penny now im quoting them
tried to keep the peace til u stoked the pen

[kip c]
tote the pen cus it knows me best
rose gold lens on the specs
so they don't know my next move like a poker player
hit my blower for a heart to heart, it's open ended 
i know this trope well
still every time it hits i'm left overwhelmed 
stars glowing like gems in the lode
solar flare
don't avert your glare from the photosphere
low spirits come in droves like crows in the open air
coat of many colours, no broche on the lapel
i used to smoke til im dozy was my only way to cope then
but now i dropped the roach, couldn't see myself going there again
enclosed in a web that i wove myself
cornucopia how i put my heart on show for dem
you stopped digging, but it's opals there
clock ticking, lost minutes, tryna hold em dear

[HueyT KnewSumn]
i be knowing them like Pavlovian darg
heads to tail, they still Harvey dent
still here but i came and went like Yugoslavians
revolt like all I know is soviet
messy eating pigs, i won’t serve them serviettes
are you receiving cause we can’t connect 
like sitting next to bro like have you got it yet?
i’m a threat but i'm not a threat 
masked up like boba fett
imma need another set once i’ve done a set 
towel boys couldn’t get the sweat
salt waters; swam through the crocodile tears once again
i survived bc the first shall be last 
and the last shall be first 2 these many men
like wildebeest standin next to the sediment 
apathetic kept em round to watch the show before they up an left 
potential molotov, gave me dragon breath 
before the frontal lobe, they could never 
ain’t no other globe, bro ive gone an wept
the dreams are 777 seas
the salt water smelt
i set sail again
i hide a promise kept
at check points i come 2 waking up like i guess i slept
smoke signals in the hills i crept

smoke, Smoke again (feat. kip c & HueyT KnewSumn)

lyrics;;
i fuck dat hoe so good she think dat im the [one]
chest a bomb, been a few months since i seen the sun
i carry metal on my mental and it weighs a ton
i hate when they get attached, im only here to have some fun
[one] thing about me, love to get my head spun
breadcrumbs, daily smoke about n ounce n then some
my last girl was movin like a nun, had to run
fuck a fake freak, the head better have me lookin stunned
fuck a beef, wave the flag, i already [won]
had to drop the weight, started lookin like big pun
count the charles wit my thumb, give it to my mum
tell her that i loved her when im hangin off a tree trunk
[one] bullet in the gun, still i leave em dumb
chewing up the trauma like gum, got me sayin yum
i never stumble on my words when talkin to the drums
thought that it was sweet until the core choked me like a plum
im at the top of the tower like 2000 [one]
or maybe king kong, keep a bad bitch on my arm
i stay calm til somebody try to do me harm
then it's full alarm, keep the weapon in my palm, armed
[one] thing about it, sittin steady in the glum
stopped smokin runtz, steady poured up a glass of rum
i been thru so much shit whole body numb
big music maker but you'll never catch me hittin strums

lyrics;;
i'm like lone knights in fields of grass
blood dripping down my hounskull, the hate got a heavy mass
bounce back, jack rabbit, snatched out a hat
started craftin raps on the tracks once i found the knack
plenty spells that i learnt 2 cast
mana flasks, black magic in the stash, leave em turned 2 ash
met the witch n made a pact, then it backtracked
thought i found the last lass i'd smash, took the last laugh
im dashin from the past fast, lookin like the flash
slammin on the pedal til i crash, racin to the cash
i can't lie i'd kill a chap for a sack of hash
tryna stay strapped thru the wrath, hear the heavens clash
do the maths, im setting sail n it's full mast
money counter whirrin in my naps, i get fat racks
got smacked til i hacked, phlegm hit the mat
bleeding from the core like sap, seepin thru the cracks


feel my gaze, i'm a slave to my wicked ways
blood mage, hate ringin thru my heart n ribcage
real wizard, necronomicon n feathered staves
kicked to the pave, fill the page til i get paid
u almost had me on the ropes, was a close shave
put my black bitter broken brain in a thick haze
memories fade, agony comes in waves
crashing out crazy puttin demons on the centre stage
i ain't smoked in a hundred days
im off my rocker, short temper, feel the rage like a 12-gauge
im bout to blow like hand grenades
pulled the pin, tossed it into my defences and it left me maimed
i swear i don't like people, i feel like im bladee
big ruination, and i leave em screamin in the flames
make a bitch do my bidding like it's simon says
standin at the gates, corpse raised, ready 4 the raid

teary Eyed Soul [act i: Hatred]

prod. desolate lands
vox. sakaree

lyrics;;
i'm on a quest to take that ring back like the nazgul
you dirty fuckin cunt, you tried 2 play me for a rascal
im limping thru the streets of hell; legs mangled
the little fairy tale u sells got all the details tangled
im settin fire to the flag star spangled
ban me from the country, im a bull u cant wrangle
im a don from every motherfuckin angle
the music been speakin for itself n it stands tall
u sucked the life out my heart, got a fang full
the second that my toes touched london, i was thankful
i get big fuckin checks, got a bank full
im sittin back legs on the desk livin tranquil
no longer do i gotta dodge the handfuls 
the way u handle real life shit had me strangled
held my heart on the fire, watched it dangle
n now ur movin like the good guy, shits a shambles


i'll say it twice, dirty cunt, u got it scrambled
i travelled cross the world for ya heart, took the gamble
to my art these man can't hold a candle
im spillin out blood on the page to the sample
got coin in the sack, hear it jangle
big ringwraith n the steed leave em trampled
the shit i'm keepin on the hush is a scandal
i tried my best to keep the peace like gandhi in the sandals
im bout to leave u in distress like a damsel
every fuckin lie that u told i dismantled
the path to victory is overgrown w bramble
i craft up the beat like im bangin on the anvil
all the stuff about ur ex that u rambled
im thinkin it was u who had it weak at the ankle
i'll leave it sealed with details substantial
called chatgpt daddy more than i could handle

Nazgul
