[Intro]
Alright, yo, for real though... (chuckles)
You know, so many girls be
Thinkin' my songs are about them
This should not get confused
This one's specific, you hear me?
Yeah, it was about this... this wonderful woman, from beautiful Europe.
Named Patricia. Yo, this is wild.
She was just the best woman I’d ever had, period.
Represented everything I loved, turned my whole life around.
Listen...

[Chorus]
Baby, you my everything, you just what I wanted
We could do it so big, bigger than you ever done it
You stay up on everything, other ones ain't never on it
I want this always, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she holds me down every time I hit her up
Once I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She had me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same words every single time
I say, you the truly best (Ayy), you the really best (Ayy)
You the truly best (Ayy), you the honest best (Ayy)
You are the best I ever had (Ayy), purest best I ever had (Ayy)
Realest I ever had (Ayy), top one I ever had (Ayy)
I say, you the truly

[Verse 1]
Yo, lemme tell you 'bout this girl, no cap, no lie
From Europe, beautiful, caught my eye
Patricia, yeah, the name that just re-arranged my scene
Pulled me from the bottom, know exactly what I mean?
Was in a rut, for real, just coastin' through the days, man, lost
She turned my whole life around, whatever the cost
Made me feel complete, yeah, put the pieces in their place
Listen, I was black, she was white, yeah, a different race
I was older, she was younger, that's the truth, no disguise
But in our souls, our minds, we were perfectly synchronized, one vibe.

[Chorus]
Baby, you my everything, you just what I wanted
We could do it so big, bigger than you ever done it
You stay up on everything, other ones ain't never on it
I want this always, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she holds me down every time I hit her up
Once I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She had me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same words every single time
I say, you the truly best (Ayy), you the really best (Ayy)
You the truly best (Ayy), you the honest best (Ayy)
You are the best I ever had (Ayy), purest best I ever had (Ayy)
Realest I ever had (Ayy), top one I ever had (Ayy)
I say, you the truly

[Verse 2]
She was everything I adored about her homeland, word is bond
That European spirit shinin', magic wand
The realest woman I encountered, period, no debate
Had me lookin' up, thankin' my fate
When I first met her, path unclear, vision was hazy
She was the compass I needed, left them other girls hazy
Planted seeds of hope, man, my spirit took flight
Overcame all the doubt, she helped me see the light
Yeah, we looked different on paper, a contrast you could see
But in our essence, our minds, we were one, just her and me.

[Chorus]
Baby, you my everything, you just what I wanted
We could do it so big, bigger than you ever done it
You stay up on everything, other ones ain't never on it
I want this always, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she holds me down every time I hit her up
Once I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She had me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same words every single time
I say, you the truly best (Ayy), you the really best (Ayy)
You the truly best (Ayy), you the honest best (Ayy)
You are the best I ever had (Ayy), purest best I ever had (Ayy)
Realest I ever had (Ayy), top one I ever had (Ayy)
I say, you the truly best (Ayy), you the really best (Ayy)
You the truly best (Ayy), you the honest best (Ayy)
You are the best I ever had (Ayy), purest best I ever had (Ayy)
Realest I ever had (Ayy), top one I ever had (Ayy)

[Outro]
Ohh, ah yeah
See, this is the kinda joint you gotta dedicate to somebody
Just be sure they that special somebody
Patricia, this one's for you.
Yeah, you know just who you are.
I got you still.

Fantasy (Dance Version)

[ Verse 1]
Yo, right now, I need her, can't meet her nowhere now
Cuffs up soon, they'll see me, they'll get me, take care now
Too late now, can't be cool, I miss her, can't come near now
The cell's mine soon, gotta face it, I'll hold out, but how?
I need her right now, once they jail me, I'm done out
If they get me, I'm surely breaking down

[Pre-Chorus]
The sirens gettin' louder, the choices gettin' stark Called the shot, big talker, now I'm lost in the dark

[Chorus]
And, oh, it's hard to face this, 
but I wish she was right here 
Oh, it's hard to leave her, 
when my past haunts me everywhere 
All this time I'm thinking, 
I was man enough to swing it 
Oh, yeah, I do need her, and I miss her, can't come near!

[Verse 2]
Well, it's grave to say now 
You can tell I miss her the most 
They'll lock me away now 
It'll make it harder, I know... 
If this life was right, or If I shoulda done that at all 
Man, I don't know, either way 
All I know is that I've been movin' wrong 
There's a lot on my mind 
Been actin' hella crazy 
Knew how to push that rival 'til he went insane 
So, we probably shouldn't do this, but the deed is done, stupid 
And I know when I'm not with her 
Then I truly miss her, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And, oh, it's hard to face this, but I wish she was right here 
Oh, it's hard to leave her, when my past haunts me everywhere 
All this time I'm thinking, I was man enough to swing it 
Oh, yeah, I do need her, and I miss her, can't come near!

[Bridge]
I wanna say that I'm sorry, at the end of my life 
Won't wake in her morning, nothing's gonna be alright 
At the end of this story, no one's holdin' me tight 
Man, I gotta worry, I'm losing my mind! 
Flashing lights... cold nights... just wanna hold her...

[Chorus]
And, oh, it's hard to face this, but I wish she was right here (Losing my mind!) 
Oh, it's hard to leave her, when my past haunts me everywhere (All the time!) 
All this time I'm thinking, I was man enough to swing it 
Oh, yeah, I do need her, and I miss her, can't come near!


I Miss Her

[Verse 1]
Yo, headset on, screen's glowing, digits don't lie
Boss man's grin, a viper, caught him in his sty
Found the fraud, the millions, siphoned in the night
He flipped the script, the sirens, framed me for a fight
Said I pulled the trigger, news flash, all a lie
Gotta move, gotta vanish, 'fore my alibi dies.

[Pre-Chorus]
The city lights are blurring, heart thumps in my chest
Heard 'em say "fugitive," put my freedom to the test.

[Chorus]
And, oh, this ain't no movie, this is life on the run
But I got the proof, baby, justice will be won!
Oh, they thought they had me, locked behind their steel
But the truth's a weapon, watch the mighty kneel!
Every tickin' second, closer to the light
Gonna clear my name, gonna win this fight!

[Post-Chorus]
"Innocent... Vindicated..."
"Proof... lies... truth prevails..."

[Verse 2]
Shadows were my cover, allies in the haze
Met a soul who listened, through the darkest days
She saw the fire in me, knew I wasn't done
Helped me piece the puzzle, 'til the battle's won
Tracked the hidden server, found the money trail
Boss man's empire crumbling, justice will prevail.
Called the feds discreetly, laid the evidence bare
They saw his wicked scheming, greed beyond compare.

[Chorus]
And, oh, this ain't no movie, this is life on the run
But I got the proof, baby, justice has been won!
Oh, they thought they had me, locked behind their steel
But the truth's a weapon, watched the mighty kneel!
Every tickin' second, basking in the light
Cleared my name, yeah baby, I won this fight!

[Bridge]
No more looking over, my shoulder in the night
Sun on my skin, baby, everything's alright.
The reward money's landed, heavy in the bank
That wicked boss is cuffed up, his whole empire sank.
Company's shuttered, doors are closed for good,
Traded city cages, for this tropic wood.

[Final Chorus]
And, oh, this is our movie, living in the sun! (Living in the sun!)
Yeah, I got my freedom, justice has been won! (Justice won!)
Oh, they couldn't break me, with their bars of steel (No, no, no!)
Now the truth's our anthem, this feeling is unreal! (So unreal!)
Every golden second, with you by my side
Opened up our beach bar, living out this ride!


Framed

"If you don't like something, you gotta flip it...
If you despise your job, just dip it...
Not enough freedom? Stop what you're doing...
Life can be simple... Feel the music moving..."

"If you're searchin' for the vibe of your life, pause!
It'll be waiting for you when you start breaking all the laws (of boring!)
Stop overthinking!
Life is simple! (Get your body!)"

"MOVE YOUR BODY!
LIFE IS SIMPLE!
MOVE YOUR BODY!
YEAH!"

"We clock in, and yes, we make dough
And mostly just wanna go home (La-la-la-la-la-la)
And we hustle, sure, I did want it
But I need new vibes in my soul, yeah"

"Can I live this more?
Life's so fleeting, yeah, we ain't got nothin' to lose, oh-oh
It's my new principle
Baby, feel it 'cause I love the way this grooves, oh-oh"

"Boss, you state your aim, I won't play your game
Oh, I love this space, la-la-la-la-la-la
All in this club, I want it! (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Boss, you state your aim, I won't play your game
Oh, I love this space, la-la-la-la-la-la
All in this club, I want it!"

"I, I feel like breakin' somethin'
But we could be cautious, forget it!
Honey, I ain't no dummy, dummy
I like to say, 'Screw this!' And if
We could quit and just cut the rubbish
Then I might be onto freedom
I ain't missin' this vibe for public
I'm takin' hundreds, loving it!
Somethin' we just gotta get with it
Sign my new life, front, back, on the damn ticket
They wishin' that this feelin' was a magic gimmick
Taste freedom, joy, and lose the limit
And that paycheck just ain't worth it too
And when we bounce, refresh, give me two
When I feel that bass, come get me too
He want real talk, good vibes, energy too, huh!"

"Can I live this more?
Life's so fleeting, yeah, we ain't got nothin' to lose, oh-oh
It's my new principle
Baby, feel it 'cause I love the way this grooves, oh-oh"

"Boss, you state your aim, I won't play your game
Oh, I love this space, la-la-la-la-la-la
All in this club, I want it! (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Boss, you state your aim, I won't play your game
Oh, I love this space, la-la-la-la-la-la
All in this club, I want it!"

"(Move your body, move your body) Feel that freedom!
(Move your body, move your body) Yeah!
Gotta have house rhythm all night long! (Move your body, move your body)
(Move your body, move your body)
When there's house rhythm, you can't go wrong! (Move your body, move your body)
(Move your body, move your body)
Gotta have house rhythm to set me free! (Move your body, move your body)
(Move your body, move your body)
Lost in house rhythm is where I wanna be! (Move your body, move your body)
(Move your body, move your body) It's gonna set you free!
(Move your body) Life is simple!"

"MOVE YOUR BODY!"
"FEEL IT!"
"ALL NIGHT LONG!"

"Live this more... yeah..."
"Oh, I love this space..."
"La-la-la-la-la-la..."
"Simple... simple..."


Live This More

[Intro]
Losing rights
Losing rights
Losing rights
Losing rights

[Verse 1]
Yo, she don't believe in their false charge
But she believe in livin' large
Tile floors in our shared apartment
Threads from the local departments
You more like love to start scripts
(Yeah, talking to you, Chloe, with your media hits)
I'm more for the community clips
Ordered the plantain, views of the water
Straight from a page of your favorite fighter
And the system so sleazy
Man, why can't truth ever be this easy?
She (Chloe) in the media, dancin' so queasy
Aisha callin' like, "Where are you, please see?"
And try to hit you with their old spin-shop
'Til I got slammed by their false story-drop
Damn, these fabricators got me
I hate these liars more than any Tory!

[Chorus]
As I recall, I know you heard their false call
But I never thought that you would build up this wall
But what do I know?
Losing rights!
What do I know? Know!
Losing rights!

[Verse 2]
I know it's been a trial, sweetheart 
They try to talk, while I'm doin' my part
I know I was loud, baby
A-bay, lately, you've been all on my mind, crazy
And if the papers would've told me a month ago
Front page flow, yo, I wouldn't wanna go
If the headlines would've told me a year ago
It'd become this difficult show
Feelin' like an island with no visa
Like a worker with no pay
Like a clinic with no doctor
First class with the seat back, I still clock her 
In my past, she on the other side of the maze
Of my memory's coliseum
I'm just sayin', "Hey, confused Lisa 
Come home, you know you can't trust their media!"
That shopkeeper, is he a problem?
That medic from India, is he a problem?
That Ghanaian sister, is she a problem?
UK playin' the same colonial, racist game!

[Chorus]
As I recall, I know you heard their false call
But I never thought that you would build up this wall
But what do I know?
Losing rights!
What do I know? Know!
Losing rights!
As you recall, you know they love to make us small (Us, the people)
But you never thought their lies would cause such a fall
But what do you know?
Media lies!
What do you know? Know!
Media lies!

[Bridge]
We risk becoming an island of strangers!
Strangers! Strangers!
So is my accent not good enough for you?
How many tongues can you speak, it's true?
I work for us and pay my way!
But now it's longer to become a citizen, no play!
I’m not a stranger, I’m your neighbour!
I’m not a foreigner, I’m your lover, Aisha, my saviour! (Looks to Aisha)
Love versus hate, there’s a difference!
They don't care about you! They look down on you!
They despise you! And how you talk!
Time to break the media's chains, let's walk!

[Dance Break]
"L-L-Losing-Losing Rights!"
"Me-Me-Media-Media Lies!"
"Stra-Stra-Strangers-No More!"
"Dance with me!"

[Outro]
Losing rights
And who do you love?
Losing rights
Who really loves?
Media lies
God above...
Media lies
The devil is BBC... and TV...


Strangers No More

[Intro]
Baggage check... we all got it... don't let it stop the party...

[Verse 1]
A while ago, and oh, so near today
I really fell for you before the second date
Your loving, it feels so right and true
But then there's static here, it's not just me and you
My folks, they're old, they're set in their own ways
And they can't see the light of these new days

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I didn't pick my parents, that's a given
And I'm not like them, my heart's wide open, driven
They ain't truly racist, that's what they might say
Just stuck in their thinking, from a distant yesterday
This love's a vibe, a frequency so clear
But their old tunes are all they wanna hear

[Chorus]
Don't you recall, you told me you adored me, honey?
You said you'd be sticking with me through it all, honey?
Honey, honey, honey, honey, oh honey
I love you, I truly do!
Don't let their shadows make you feel unsure, baby
This connection's something pure, baby!

[Rap Verse]
Yo, check the mic, one two, this ain't no radio
This is real life, real love, watch the feelings flow
But there's a backstory, yeah, a little complication
Generational divide, causing all this frustration
They hate black folks, and I gotta be straight up
That ain't my mindset, from a different cup
I'm modern, I'm open, that's the way I roll
They stuck in the past, losing all control
Of their outdated views, it's a heavy load I carry
Like a hidden suitcase, things can get scary
'Cause we all pack baggage, don't we? Deep inside
Try to keep it locked up, nowhere to hide
But sooner or later, the latches gonna break
And everything tumbles out, for goodness sake!

[Verse 2]
This separation is such a sad affair, for real
And I can hardly wait for our true love to reveal
Itself without this weight, this family strain
What to express (What to express?)
To make you trust again? (Ooh, honey)
Come back to my heart again (Ooh, honey)
And hear my loving song

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I didn't pick my parents, that's a given
And I'm not like them, my heart's wide open, driven
They ain't truly racist, that's what they might say
Just stuck in their thinking, from a distant yesterday
This love's a vibe, a frequency so clear
But their old tunes are all they wanna hear

[Chorus]
Don't you recall, you told me you adored me, honey?
You said you'd be sticking with me through it all, honey?
Honey, honey, honey, honey, oh honey
I love you, I truly do!
Don't let their shadows make you feel unsure, baby
This connection's something pure, baby!

[Bridge]
You know I really dig you, every single bit
So don't define me by my kin, that just ain't it
They think loving you is some kind of wrong
But our love's a hit, the perfect song!
Please open your soul and be understandin'
This kinda baggage, it's so demandin'
But we can unpack it, side by side
Let our true love be the only guide!

[Breakdown]
 "Love you, truly do", "Baggage", "Don't judge me"

[Chorus]
Don't you recall, you told me you adored me, honey? (Adored me!)
You said you'd be sticking with me through it all, honey? (Through it all!)
Honey, honey, honey, honey, oh honey (Oh, my honey!)
I love you, I truly do! (I really do!)
Don't let their shadows make you feel unsure, baby (No, no!)
This connection's something pure, baby! (So pure!)

[Outro ]
Baggage... we all got it... unpack it... love wins... love wins...
I love you, I truly do...


Baggage Check

[Intro]
Yo, uh-huh
It's that HIGH VOLTAGE, baby
Turn this shit up!
This ain't no love letter… this is legal tender, ha!

[Verse 1]
Yo, you ain't on the same wavelength as I
Treat my heart like a stock you can buy then just fly
These lines gonna make your system rise
While you're playin' games, fakin' all your damn alibis.
Flash your crypto, your trust fund dough, think you're so high-rise
But your credit's shot, your love's a bot, I see through your disguise.
Stacking this green like a banker do, but it all feels counterfeit
Got that Gucci bag with the bitter pills, yeah, this romance a bad trip.
You want returns, watch the market churn, but my soul ain't for sale, prick
This late-stage romance, a desperate dance, makin' my stomach sick.
You talkin' futures, I'm countin' losses, this ain't no fuckin' NFT
This the real deal, how I truly feel, you're devaluing me!

[Hook]
You spend me, bend me – still you can’t own me!
This ain't collateral, I'm not your loan, see?
You spend me, bend me – still you can’t own me!
My worth ain't tied to your fake economy!

[Verse 2]
I'm pulling up in a leased-out Audi, tryna match your damn flex
But this whole charade, this price we've paid, got my mind truly perplex'd.
You talk cheap so I tax you loudly, add it to your mounting debt
My head is hurting, my soul can't escape this bed where our lies met.
Got these symptoms, symptoms of transactional dread, yeah, it's fuckin' deep
Like a neon-green twenty, dissolving to smoke that forms a broken heart I keep.
This ain't no artwork, this a bloody red mark, from this high-voltage game
Why you trade me like some asset you never loved? It's a goddamn shame.
Wish I knew what you were tradin', when you whispered my name, such a scam
This ain't a partnership, just a sinking ship, get out while I can, man!

[Hook]
You spend me, bend me – still you can’t own me!
This ain't collateral, I'm not your loan, see?
You spend me, bend me – still you can’t own me!
My worth ain't tied to your fake economy!

[Bridge]
Remember nights? Cheap wine, hazy highs, felt like a dream?
Thought we were buildin' somethin' real, a proper team.
Now it's just transactions, hollow satisfactions, a market crash inside my head.
You see a price tag, I see a red flag, every word you said.
This ain't Charli's party, no sweet "party 4 u" here, no fuckin' way
This that Malcolm Todd chest pain, gettin' worse every day.
They all said it would pass but again and again / I burn, burn, burn
Every promise broken, every toxic lesson learned.
But this fire refines me, you can't define me, see?
This currency's harder than you'll ever be! HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING!

[Hook]
You spend me, bend me – still you can’t own me!
This ain't collateral, I'm not your loan, see?
You spend me, bend me – still you can’t own me!
My worth ain't tied to your fake economy!

[Outro]
Yeah! Still can’t own me... not a chance.
This ain't no crypto crash, bitch, this is my goddamn comeback.
Independent. Liquid. Fully vested in myself.
