Friends arduous to trust at this altitude,
Tryna come to terms with my magnitude,
Yo, the change comes, shape it like an attitude,
You gotta plan it dude, before the gratitude,

The closest ones, yeah, you gotta watch most,
Many stars in the sky, but few in this cosmos,
We was close, now it's distance in this space,
Reminiscing on them days we were still mates,

Behind the scenes, the greats still struggle with addiction,
Restrictions only hamper ambitious conviction,
Strength, knowledge, wisdom, united in this kingdom,
But black boys still victims, can’t escape the system,

Snakes in the grass, gotta cut low,
Jurisdiction, them Boys singin’ high notes 
When the tide's low, man, you fly low,
Some snakes venomous, even I know,

Been through trails that ain’t fire drills,
Romancin’ queens rockin’ them higher heels,
Through struggle, I acquired skills,
Developed my raps, stacked bank off clientele,

Real problems in the world, get outta your bubble,
Continents in trouble, bro, get in the huddle,
Take action, this ain’t Tesco, but every little helps,
As we acquire wealth, don’t forget to give back,

Contemplating decisions, past and future,
Still find time to practice Kama Sutra,
Told her that fragrance, yeah, it suits ya,
She’ll always complement me on my humor,

Dark days, with Benjamin in the basement,
Down to basics, change, but it never made sense,
Patience all took, had the payslip of a crook,
But now I do it by the book, no more shook.

Please Don’t Change [Demo]

Checks Don’t Bounce, they Swoosh
Grey Ting Came with Goose
That Sixth Sense Came from Bruce
On a Date, Seduce, Far from a Basic Move
That Hennessey Slip the Truth

Checks Don’t Bounce, they Swoosh
Grey Ting Came with Goose

Vergänglich [Demo]

Yo, those decisions gon lead to success,
Can never rest, play the game like it was chess,
The accolades and success that I deserve,
The best of GB ain’t what they heard.
Consider me below-par, that’s absurd,

Diamonds on my grills, only penetrate the smile,
It’s been a while since I seen a nigga generate a style,
The lifestyle tremendous, boutique with expenses,
Before I made my entrance, plotting on the vengeance.

Respect from critiques ain't gonna determine my fate,
But you gon' see me in the Wraith bumpin’ the mixtape,
Operate on a level that's astronomical,
Comical to think these niggas was in front of you.

Figures and figures, that’s all they care about,
What about my whereabouts, man, what’s that about?
Chefing in hell’s kitchen, it’s documented, well-written,
Play your role like Scottie Pippen, that’s six rings given.

Early morning grind, takes a while to unwind,
Feel it like you blind, let it seep in your mind,
All I needed was time to make some soufflé,
All we needed was the shine to make a new day.

Where’s my recognition for my works in the kitchen?
Them bars, they were hittin’, definition of cognition,
Putting in long hours just to see commas increase,
Take a second to breathe, you need that relief.

Those that doubted see me laughin’ to the bank,
Got the capital in rank, and I’m takin' Britain back,
For my children, they gon’ acquire some knowledge,
University or college, there’s power in the wisdom.

Momma still prays for me, quit smokin', now I’m free,
Hope one day she alive to see the legacy,
Good health and wealth, that’s what I strive for,
Be the man to my kin, the ultimate provider.

Close relationship with God, I pray every day,
Heavy prayers, thoughts of mind, they carry weight,
For my unborn sons and daughters, I do it for them,
Prayers to the Lord, that they receive their daily bread.

Blessed from a higher power, G be highly favored,
All glory goes to the Lord, the only savior,
But lately, I ain’t been proud of my behavior,
But I know that if we go unchained, they can’t enslave us.



The Tortured Poet’s Department [Demo]

Yo, girl, you ain’t nothing like them others,
Nothing like them other lovers, yeah, you’re a discovery,
Blue, the color of your gorgeous summer,
You’re my gorgeous lover, let’s break it down, no blunders.

Show me you care, dare to reflect our glare,
Impaired without you, damn, this shit isn’t fair.
One of one, girl, your essence is magnificent,
To be connected, girl, yeah, that’s a privilege, it’s evident.

The difference between you and them is that you’re different,
The journey to your heart, too far, can’t bear the distance.
You got just the right amount of love, an overload of trust,
Connection is a must when I'm with you, baby, that’s a must.

But my affection, please don’t misuse, baby,
Go to war over you, girl, I catch a grenade, see?
Beautifully made, ain't no room for any shade,
And the special part is, you ain't for them games.

Ain’t for them lames, how you so gorgeous, it’s insane,
Arguments are rarity, when I'm chillin' with you,
Gorgeous kisses, yeah, that’s your specialty too.
My heavenly muse, the blues got me singing those tunes,

Girl, at this point, you’ve got nothing to prove,
Patient is a virtue, fuck that man who hurt you.
He doesn’t deserve you, you know I’m the one to reimburse you,
I’ll cherish you, girl, like this world is just ours to rule.

Yo, girl, you ain’t nothing like them others,
Nothing like them other lovers, yeah, you’re a discovery,
Blue, the color of your gorgeous summer,
You’re my gorgeous lover, let’s break it down, no blunders.


Nothing Like Yours [Demo]

We’ve been here for too Long 
By now we should have moved on
Deal Breaker, need a Coupon 
Shoe Horned your way into the Newport
Remember those Nights in Budapest
Congrued the Stress, It Proved to Test
That those Days ain’t nothing like New York,
These days conversations are too Short
But you say you had me proved wrong 
How can you say you love me and then move on 
You too wrong,
We’ve been here too Long

And now im too gone off this Bourbon
It makes me nervous thinking of you as a memory
The Energy, the Synergy not matching 
Girl, i was hoping you Treasure me 
Penalty for thinking with my Heart instead of my Head
Dead to me like those Flowers in the Winter
Your Entered and caused a Scene
You were Centred, i remember, your Coat was Magenta
You watched me Bleed
How the fuck could you carry my Seed
We’ve been here for too Long

Those nights in Budapest, Surreal Mess
I Recall Vividly, Because you wore the Blue Dress
Too Stress for the Arguments Ensuing
Those Long weekends in New york got Ruined 
(We’ve been Here for too Long)
This Departure been Brewing and Blooming
It thought things were improving, but seems were not suited
And you Booted me out of the Home
I was the King now there's a Vacant Throne  
(We’ve been Here for too Long)


Desperado [Demo]

[Intro]
Yo, sipping on the tea, yeah that morning brew,
If only you knew, what it took to get to you,
Harmonious blues, baby, what’s cooking in the kitchen,
Terrible two’s, I’m wishing, that you’ll show me recognition.

What’s underneath those gorgeous locks, girl I wanna know,
Seep into your soul, today I see your morning glow,
In that traditional dress, girl you so damn fine,
But I wanna know what’s going on inside of your mind.

Your presence a blessing, yeah, I’m obsessed with,
Show the rare for you, girl, I’ll be there for it.

You’re my genie in a bottle, my runway model,
Without the substance trouble, let’s spark that throttle,
We can cuddle on a late night, sip tea by the lake heights,
This romance gon’ take us to great heights, hold tight.

Those flowers that I vased for you, did you receive 'em?
Those roses got the scent of you, this great evening,
Jovial jokes on the corner of the boulevard,
Life’s a film, I just pop-corning through our cinema hard.

The most gorgeous girl I ever laid my eyes on,
Focused on you, but yet you keep me on the drive, hun,
The timing perfect, girl, you the one I need,
And for the fruit, I’m a plant a seed, girl, let’s proceed.

Your smile, the most radiant scene known to man,
Butterflies when you hold my hand, do you understand?
You’re the girl of my dreams, a vision so supreme,
And understand you’re the girl that I need, it’s not just a meme.

You’re my sunshine, the rainbow through my rainy days,
Oh, you on your Jorja, I see you gaining that baby weight,
And I love it, can't I tell a lie?
Your presence and your aura, keeps me energized, oh my.

Juslisen [Demo]

Yo, come smoke it, take a tote,
Got a higher dosage, higher dose,
The smoke imported, yeah, take a tote,
Inhale then breathe, that word to smokers,
Jokers on the block, with packs like poker,
Some got pokers, their opps want it to stop,
Hocus pocus, doing juug in the focus,
Some yutes are just hopeless,

Keeping it blunt, there’s smoke in hell,
End up involved, the morgue or jail,
Choose to fail, living in the veil,
(Choose to fail, Living in the veil)
Some playing acoustic, but who’s to tell?
Either use or you lose it, can’t you smell?
Enemies close, I’m persecuted,
Smoke in rotation, puff, then two’s it,

Roll it up, we lit like a motherfucker,
Zooted on clouds, can’t nobody touch ya,
Days making family count,
Do you make your fam doubt? What’s it all about?
Six figures, girls wanna chase,
Rose, Alizé, they all want a taste,
Confused look on her face,
When she saw me do my ting with grace,

This lifestyle ain't for the faint of heart,
Play your part, know your role, start,
Tainted tart, giving blows in the painted park,
Can’t stay till dark, cleanse your soul, spark,

Crypto dreams, could be rich in a day,
So why you invested in the women I date?
Cohort of women, it’s all great,
Told her, “There’s more in the safe,”
She couldn’t believe it, mind in space,

Cloud collectivity, days feeling neglected,
But I’m well protected, me and the henchmen,
Cee us in central, smoke and the mental,
With grace, man gotta be gentle,
Parked up with a zoot in my hand,
Red Bull in the can, planning criminal plans,
Aboriginal gangs with a vision so grand,
Back then was just me and Dan,

Yo, come smoke it, take a tote,
Got a higher dosage, higher dose,
The smoke imported, yeah, take a tote,
Inhale then breathe, that word to smokers,

Churchill Speeches [Demo]

Yeah, they try to cover up our eyes, deceit and disguised lies,
White picket fence, that’s the prize, watchin' dreams die.
Gotta realize, morals compromised,
Livin’ for the sorrows, but the truth’s in disguise.
There’s a dog in the game, bark and bite like a Great Dane,
Guess who’s runnin’ the game? Yeah, we feel the pain.
Hunting in stages, while blood stains on the Thames,
Greats locked in cages, yet we still behave.

Open your eyes, see the deceit and the lies,
It’s high time we rise, yo, it’s do or die.
Fight for what’s right, don’t let ‘em control,
We breakin’ these chains, let’s reclaim our soul. x2

Raised in hell, they laugh like it’s a joke,
Wanna see us down, but we’re never going broke.
Truer words never spoken, truth’s heavy, man, it’s broken,
In the streets, livin’ proof, while the media’s chokin’.

Public service, wake up, it’s time to shake up,
Those who woke gotta teach those still in makeup.
Ask your brother, what’s under the cover?
But if you don’t believe, man, you just another sucker.

Open your eyes, see the deceit and the lies,
It’s high time we rise, yo, it’s do or die.
Fight for what’s right, don’t let ‘em control,
We breakin’ these chains, let’s reclaim our soul. x2

While you chill, they’re heatin’ up the melty pot,
In hell you rot, if you’re not forgotten,
Higher-ups plotting, jotted down for days,
Designing your grave while we get lost in a maze.
You’ve been fooled, cloaked and veiled,
Greedy men scheming, want you to fail.
Especially those young black males,
But now they’re exposed, watch us lift the veils.

Look outside your window, what’s going on the streets?
They hide the lies deep, while we just crave the peace.
Rise up to the challenge, gotta strike a balance,
Not everyone’s built for this cannonball gallant.
