( Verse 1 )

Do you see my flawed design? 
My emotions are paralyzed.
I see you get terrified.
Don't let yourself get yourself left behind.

Blind. 
Never truly saw the hidden beauties.
Cause your eyes.
Only see what you can comprehend.
You'd be. 
Surprised.
By what lies
Beneath the surface
The surface  of a Smile

[ Hook ]

I take pride in my pain.
Pride in my sorrow.
Making me stronger for tomorrow.
Get driven insane. 
Accepting what follows.
Remember , why, I'm, alive, by, the, time I wake up tomorrow.

( Verse 2 )

Life she's a cruel mistress. 
Yet
I'm willing to marry her.

Destiny's the cool sister.
Harem the family bruh. 

I never had many bucks.
I never gave many fucks.
I got mother with nowhere to go and it sucks.
Staying in hell coz no, home, is open to us.
Staying with Satan himself, on , this road I am stuck.
People are passing me by
I'm in need of a Jump
Baddest of luck , when tragedy struck I'm keeping it up. 

I'm okay

So don't worry bout me
Whats next's all that i know
Take my demons by the hand
We're all going home
I still suffer from wounds of my past
ou I had enough and my lights fade to black.

[ Hook ]

I take pride in my pain.
Pride in my sorrow.
Making me stronger for tomorrow.
Get driven insane. 
Accepting what follows.
Remember , why, I'm, alive, by, the, time I wake up tomorrow.

( Verse 3 )

My friends mother. 
Praying for me tears in her eyes. 
She's knows how alone a broken home feels like. 

Ooooooooo
What will I do?

I'm not allowed. 
To fall in love.
This life I was born with is cold lonely and rough. 

Yet they don't cease throwing dirt on name. 
They can't hurt me coz I dig my own grave. 

What does it take.
For peace and Freedom of mind. 
After I everything that i gave.
Thought by now one of them I'd find.

[ Hook ]

I take pride in my pain.
Pride in my sorrow.
Making me stronger for tomorrow.
Get driven insane. 
Accepting what follows.
Remember , why, I'm, alive, by, the, time I wake up tomorrow.

Thanks for Nothing [Prod. Redash]

[Hook] 

I been feeling low. 
But I been down this road.
Like a thousand fucking times.
Feels like I'm wasting time.

And everytime I decide to make something my happiness.
It just 
Makes me lose my mind. 
Each time
It gets harder to find.

(Verse 1)

Yeah. 
I think it's funny. 

I been runnin.
Since the days I was youngin.
Learnt my own groove.
Now the basslines bumping. 
Forsake my old views. 
For the foresight coming.

Flipped a pack at 18.
So  I could chase dreams.
But I had to realize that it really ain't me. 

Cared too much.
About what they thought.
I got lost in the process I dropped my guard.

Now I'm thoughtless, nauseous, locked my heart. 

Lean got me immobile. 
No wonder they call it Stilpane.
Always anti-social.
Im surprised that I'm still sane.
Surprised by what I'm saying? 
You don't know a thing

AyKae from the 7100 
Delft kid on a roll. 
Straight fax, straight from, Cape Flats.
And I'm wys that I could mayhaps oneday be a great act.

(Verse2) 

Scoff if you must. 
This kak is making me jas.
I have had battle with constantly being sad. 
Coping driving me mad.
Swear this feeling is bad. 
Everybody I got close to died or got left in the past.


Or I left or reject. 
I don't mean no disrespect. 
And if I ever hurt you. 
Swear it wasn't my intent. 

I may suck at attracting people but i sure know I'm gifted. 
Once I get geeking I'm feeling my spirits lifted.

So close to the deep end I'm feeling just like a criptid.
Questioning my existence.
Always been far too different.
Sticking true to the mission. 

Adopted in grade 7.
Swear the first time spat few bars felt like heaven. 

The attention. 
I was getting for something that was unique. 
To me. 
Finally, I found talent of my own. 
After being laughed at for as long as i been known. 
Nothing better at home listen to broken home.

(Verse 3) 

I'm dozing away. 
I got too much in my system. 
My Life I
Throw it away.
Someone show me what I'm missing.
Yeah.

Always at the wrong place. 
at the wrong time. 
Giving all my energy to all wrong vibes.

It eez whadid eez. 
Pass the saying to my kids. 

Like toddler I stumble and fall.
When my footing ain't level. 
For every angel to fall 
I'll be befriending a devil.

But letting people close is a mistake I'm willing to make. 
The feelings I'm putting to stake
Like in a million definitive ways.

Either way.

I'll be writing my life on pages.

After all this music shit is my staple.

Sacrificed it all just to get this far.
can't turn back when in this deep and I already evolved.
