Yo, this life treating me well, man I’ve kicked feet up,
Gold in the grave, when it's time to meet the reaper,
Cut cuffed, slap on the wrist, was just a misdemeanour,
Handle business by the books, this is standard procedure.

Now G’s hot, everybody wants a feature,
Pricetag heavy, can’t negotiate cheaper,
The details, the cadence, resemble something sweeter,
If I could sing man I’d be the black Justin Bieber.

Decode the code of the rhyme,
A peek into a goat nigga’s mind,
Reminding you niggas, that I’m still on my grind,
See when I shine, you bitches finna go blind.

Late nights scribblin', dreamin’ of stacks,
From council house livin’ to blowin’ up tracks,
Government landlord tryna hold me back,
But I’m spittin’ flames, they ain't ready for the facts.

Demand on me, draw fast like a handgun,
Clapham or Camden, always roll with the mandem,
Writin’ in the dark, yeah, it all came from the heart,
Needed just a spark, now I’m breakin’ apart.

Yo, this life treating me well, man I’ve kicked feet up,
Gold in the grave, when it's time to meet the reaper,
Cut cuffed, slap on the wrist, was just a misdemeanour,
Handle business by the books, this is standard procedure.

Now G’s hot, everybody wants a feature,
Pricetag heavy, can’t negotiate cheaper,
The details, the cadence, resemble something sweeter,
If I could sing man I’d be the black Justin Bieber.

Could’ve been out trappin’, dodgin’ the heat,
You had shots aimed, mine was a double, no defeat,
In this dunya, how can I heal?
Seekin’ something surreal or just somethin’ real.

Lead with my charm, these weapons can’t harm,
It was written man, I’m the eye in the storm,
Challenges were tough, had to weather the shit,
But I’m standin’ tall, got no time for the split.

These roads get grimy, yeah, it’s all in the south,
Play the wrong cards, and an opp will take you out,
Spent time in the wards, hidin’ in the crib,
Could’ve been in the bando with powder and a sieve.


Stay Dangerous [Demo]

Yo, how can it be?
Whole world’s charging, fuck, it’s on me.
I’m tryna change, who the hell I am,
But decisions? Nah, that wasn’t part of the plan.

Searching for answers, no I can’t lie,
Dig deep in the roots, gotta learn to fly.
There’s a void in my soul, echoing pain,
But down in that darkness, there’s still some hope to gain.

Searching for answers, it’s hard to find,
Holy books in the booth, outta sight, outta mind.
Who do we turn to? The crown’s a joke,
Pray this searching leads to that real smoke.

Di-Vinci Code, man, I’m denied,
Sheep in the field, living life misaligned.
World’s filled with famine, the pain runs deep,
But beauty in the eyes of kids makes me weep.

Yo, how can it be?
Whole world’s charging, fuck, it’s on me.
I’m tryna change, who the hell I am,
But decisions? Nah, that wasn’t part of the plan.

Searching for answers, no I can’t lie,
Dig deep in the roots, gotta learn to fly.
There’s a void in my soul, echoing pain,
But down in that darkness, there’s still some hope to gain.

We all on the search, dawg, can’t you see?
Digging for gold, man, that's a part of me.
Heavy on my heart, these truths weigh a ton,
Tears in my eyes, but I’m still gonna run.

Searching for answers, it’s hard to find,
Scoured so many pages, pulled apart my mind.
Before the great fall, who’s gon’ take that call?
When the silence screams, who’d be there at all?

Yo, how can it be?
Whole world’s charging, fuck, it’s on me.
I’m tryna change, who the hell I am,
But decisions? Nah, that wasn’t part of the plan.

Searching for answers, no I can’t lie,
Dig deep in the roots, gotta learn to fly.
There’s a void in my soul, echoing pain,
But down in that darkness, there’s still some hope to gain.

Analyzing smoke, damn, it’s hard to breathe,
People lied to, man, they’ve been deceived.
But there’s a world out there where the truth lives,
Searching for the light, my soul gotta forgive.

Searching for answers, it’s hard to find,
Scratched and bruised, but I’m working on my grind.
Changing who I am, but I gotta stay true,
Soon the whole world’s gon’ know what’s due.

Yo, how can it be?
Whole world’s charging, fuck, it’s on me.
I’m tryna change, who the hell I am,
But decisions? Nah, that wasn’t part of the plan.

Searching for answers, no I can’t lie,
Dig deep in the roots, gotta learn to fly.
There’s a void in my soul, echoing pain,
But down in that darkness, there’s still some hope to gain.

Di-Vinci Code, yeah, I’m still in the chase,
Hurdling these walls, can’t slow down my pace.
Yo, how can it be?
This world’s got me charged, but I’m ready, you’ll see.

Searching for answers, breaking through the chains,
Feel the weight lift, turning loss into gains.
Yo, how can it be?
I’m here for the climb, and this treasure’s me.


Sundown [Demo]

Yo, the light shines bright, that shit infrared,
The boy got caught lacking, leave him for dead.
The beam came through, it was brighter red,
The height of death, steps, pay attention to how you thread.

Opps on a purge every night,
On the news, boy, we heard how you died.
Prayers, before he said his final goodbye,
Shotgun, he should’ve stayed in the passenger side.

Got hit with the laser beam,
Something they hate to see,
Connection weak, the gleam double back on latency.
Pray for him, Gaza where they stationed him,
Patiently awaiting the greatest sin.

Case got binned, Vodafone, did work with a basic sim,
She should’ve stayed with him, before they lasered him.
Shots in the vicinity, got hit accidentally,
Riding in a ghost, it was the demons that sent me

The light shines bright, that shit infrared,
The boy got caught lacking, leave him for dead.

The height of death, steps, pay attention to how you thread.

Forced entry, get hit with the sentry,
Banshees still creeping, but the gods going against me.
The light shines bright, that shit infrared,
The boy got caught lacking, leave him for dead.

He got hit on impact, syntax,
Semtext, the wrong text, presents get hid on Christmas.
Sinbad, you can’t talk, you ain’t lived that,
Gift wrapped, red beam got destroyed on impact.

Machine in the woods, got buried deep,
Creeping into your domicile, invade where you sleep.
This task not for the weak, we out on the street,
Ain’t talking island, when I say they retreat.

Fuck who you know, no fucks given at all,
We in for the brawl, shots like a long pub crawl.
You came up small, no sweets in your inventory,
Team’s a mess, your squad got no glory.

Conflicted Interests [Demo]

Balloons deflated, statuesque the scene (hmm)
So funny how you the happiest in my dreams (hmm)
Cruise control, yeah, we was cruisin’ year two,
But since you’ve bounced, this heartbreak won’t stick like glue.

Hear your echoes through the meadows,
Flower petals yellow, can’t escape these shadows.
Solid as diamonds but you cracked under pressure,
Stocks dropped low, damn, it’s a hard lesson.

Two-player mode, but you ghost like a pro,
Your mood swings wild, couldn’t read the tempo.
Had to choose me, babe, the core set me free,
Separation gave my soul a new melody.

Selective memory, it’s a twisted game,
Anniversary heartbreak, guess it’s all the same.
Unaware that you were destined for the streets,
Now I got sonder on my repeat beats.

Solid as diamonds but you cracked under pressure,
Stocks dropped low, damn, it’s a hard lesson.

Your voice still echoes like a ghost in the breeze,
Flower petals drop, and I’m brought to my knees.
Could’ve been solid, but you fell for the pressure,
Now I’m rising like stocks, can’t measure this treasure.

Yeah, could’ve had it all, but you chose to play games,
Now I’m out here hustlin’, no more takin’ the blame.
Balloons deflated, but I’m still gonna rise,
Life’s a wild ride, baby, watch me touch the skies.

Sincerely [Demo]

Yo, got me thinkin' you the one,
Summer’s gone but I’m still sprung,
Baby hold you tight, just you and me,
Our lonely hearts gon’ set us free.

Hearts grow fonder, coast to coast,
Your love was gone, but there's still hope,
Decisions arose, I could have ran,
Knees were weak, I couldn’t stand.

Shadow blue,
Your lips, that taste, the lightest hue,
Your tenderness the greatest sign,
This shade of love is hard to find. x2

Your trust, your love, your empathy,
Graced my heart so gen-te-ly,
Your beauty, can’t compare to the rest,
Gorgeous in that satin colored dress.

Adore you, that I always vowed,
On the throne, we wear the crown,
Still reminisce those nights in Budapest,
Just before we flew out west.

Shadow blue,
Your lips, that taste, the lightest hue,
Your tenderness the greatest sign,
This shade of love is hard to find. x2

Decisions arose, I could have ran,
Knees were weak, I couldn’t stand,
Got me thinkin' you the one,
Summer’s gone but I’m still sprung.

Our strength and conviction that I’m sure,
Your warmth, I hold that to the core,
For a girl like you, I used to pray,
When I hold you, I know you're safe.

Shadow blue,
Your lips, that taste, the lightest hue,
Your tenderness the greatest sign,
This shade of love is hard to find. x2

Yo, got me thinkin' you the one,
Summer’s gone but I’m still sprung,
Baby hold you tight, just you and me,
Our lonely hearts gon’ set us free.

Your love was gone, but there's still hope,
Decisions arose, I could have ran,
Knees were weak, I couldn’t stand.

Los Amsterdam [Demo]

Yo, your eyes opened wide as I looked your way,
Heart beat pounding, man, couldn’t think of what to say,
Considering if you were the truth, no fuckin' doubt,
Happiness I was in pursuit, gotta scream and shout.

Your smile, your eyes, all a part of your heart,
Your spell, a chemical cast, playin' my part,
Saw you in the corner, scribblin' lines,
This affection's as deep as the ocean, divine.

Individual and misunderstood, feelin' so real,
First chapter, as you open your book, time to heal,
Something tells me that this could be surreal,
The deal sweetened, emotions start to reveal.

Your eyes, blue, like the summer skies,
Can’t compromise, you’re my firefly,
Getting lost in your gaze, man, it’s tight,
But your eyes paved the way, shining bright.

Ain't nobody around in this empty hall,
But in this world of music, it was you I called,
Those eyes drown me, hard to breathe in this flow,
But when you glanced at me, set my soul aglow.

Your smile, your eyes, all a part of your heart,
Your spell, a chemical cast, ignitin’ the spark,
Your beauty shocked me, hit me like a freight train,
Now you’re the only one I adore through the pain.

The observations from your eyes, gave me the sign,
Now I see the light, so bright, it’s divine,
Getting lost in your gaze, can you feel this vibe?
Hope you feel the same way, I knew it, no jive.

I’d walk a thousand miles for you, can’t pretend,
Be with you forever, till the fuckin' end,
Considering if you were the truth, I’m sold,
Happiness I was in pursuit, let the story unfold.

Your eyes opened wide as I looked your way,
Heart beat pounding, damn, couldn’t think of what to say,
Something tells me that this love could be real,
Listen up, baby, it’s the truth that I feel.


Meant To Be [Demo]

Yo, bring the northern lights ashore,
Southern hospitality, feelin' like it was before,
Those ocean blue eyes, scream so bright,
Memories got me grindin' through the night.

I guess for you it’s hard to comprehend,
How the world expands, demands on demands,
Used to castles playin’ in the sand,
Now I’m grown, shit’s different, I’m a man.

Bring the northern lights ashore,
Southern hospitality, can't take it anymore,
Western powers, man, that’s the greatest sin,
Innocents slain, where do I begin?

Visions of villains, wicked and sly,
Trickery glimmering, man, they don't even try,
Those ocean blue eyes, they spark like a flame,
Memories hold tight, but this world’s a game.

Society’s dark, underground filled with hate,
The damned and the wicked, man, it’s never too late,
Truth or the lies, gotta pick a side,
Atom split, watch the chaos collide.

A taste of the night, bring 'em northern lights,
Surprised you were shy, but damn, you never bite,
Tales of the wicked, genocide in plain sight,
Innocents skinned, can’t ignore this plight.

The truth, the gospel, hear the echoes resound,
How they exploited diamonds from underground,
Corporate shills, clienteles in a bind,
Souls might burn in hell, karma’s comin’ blind.

Youth’s actions lead to desperation's purse,
Show some nerve or get buried in the earth,
No remorse for the victims they slain,
Only their mothers left to feel the pain.

The story unfolds, hard to compose,
Withering flowers didn’t bloom as a rose,
Been a storyteller since I was seventeen,
Pray truth shines bright, let the heavens glean.

A taste of the night, bring 'em northern lights,
Surprised you were shy, but you know you gotta fight,
The truth, the gospel, finally, heaven-sent,
Today’s the day, we gon’ see the end!

Bring the northern lights ashore,
Southern hospitality, nothing like it was before,
Those ocean blue eyes, scream so bright,
Memories kept me up, yeah, brought the fight!

I guess for you it’s hard to comprehend,
How the world expands, demands on demands,
Used to castles playin’ in the sand,
Now I’m grown, shit’s different, I’m a man.


Maybe In Another Universe [Demo]

The Blue Carpet Treatment [Demo]

Yo, gorgeous lips, watch you speak it,
There’s a lot to this feeling, I'm feelin' it deep in,
The healing it provided, yeah, I really needed,
We in agreement, no need to be conceited.

Those lips were smouldering, hot like a flame,
Sobering thoughts, girl, you got me untamed,
Something controlling me, I had to give it a kiss,
Irresistible vibe, can’t let you miss.

Oh, you the gorgeous lips ambassador,
Rollin' through life, no challenger,
Passenger, babe, you the queen,
Seducation embodied, you know what I mean?

Those lips are my relief, so tight, couldn’t breathe,
Some compare to Lauryn Hill, but fuck that, I believe,
I prefer the gorgeous trill, it’s raw, it’s real,
Got me lost in a moment, you know the deal.

Gorgeous lips, watch you speak it,
There’s a lot to this feelin', it’s more than a gimmick,
Lips smooth, I resumed, just me and you,
Gorgeous lips, can’t deny the view.

I must confess, accompanied with that dress,
Oh, you seekin' a response, girl, you're the best,
Damn, those lips were the bomb, you broke the norm,
Takin' me higher, feelin' that heat like a storm.

Seemed like those gorgeous lips made a debut,
But it takes two to tango, just me and you,
The taste: strawberry mango, sweet as we go,
Girl, I need you in my plans, let it flow.

Gorgeous lips, watch you speak it,
There’s a lot to this feeling, can’t tweak it,
The healing it provided was needed,
We in agreement, girl, this vibe’s succeeded.

Kiss, touch, and then one, two,
Don’t act like you were confused,
Those lips only fit for a queen,
Swear on the stars, I saw it in a dream.

Gorgeous lips, watch you speak it,
Can’t even tell you what the fuck you were sayin',
Accompanied by those frames, you got me playin’,
Your lips tonight, my desire, can’t deny the fire!


The Melodic Blue [Demo]

Yo, we on a tour around the globe, it's a complicated place,
But through the diamonds and rough, there's hope and some there's grace,
Hourglass fading fast, can’t deny youth's race,
But the messiah gon' lead us, yeah, he’s settin' the pace.

Why you doubt, what’s left to prove?
Lions and gorillas, but there’s an elephant in this room,
Please believe me, don’t try to deceive me,
Eyes locked in tight, it was clear when you seen me.

Happiness in society? Nah, it’s not guaranteed,
Billionaire puppeteers, bet they wouldn't disagree,
Designs all crafted by the hands of the divine,
Take a breath, feel me, man, you’ll be just fine.

Decisions round the globe, man, it’s a messy chess,
Some create schemes, others just guess,
Showin' decorum, others flashin' class,
But youth is fading quick, like it’s slippin’ through glass.

Consequences loom for the wicked, let God decide,
Those maskin' their truth, gotta drop the pride,
Villainous actions in the light might shock,
Led to genocidal wars, man, this shit's a crock.

Through the Lord we hold trust, but sometimes belief's dust,
The Lord is my shepherd, in His path we thrust,
Hearts heavy with pain, yet there’s hope inside,
We fight through the chaos, fueled by love and pride.
