Leaving The Light

Yeah…
We out early, no rest for the real
Kwinny to Nedlands 
Business moves, no fucking round’
Tick tick flip
No talk for the drip
Them bags get split 
We’ don’t follow rules 
We split and spit 

Let’s ride…

Splity and Jul’z on the Kwinny Freeway,
30K cash, no games, no leeway,
Nedlands plug got 10 for the low,
Pick up the pack, then we back on go.
Through Cottesloe, then Freeo quick,
Back to Kwinny, collect that tick,
Licks get hit, then the packs get split 
We don’t follow rules, we Splitt and spit.

Eyes on the road, soul in the grind,
Duffle in the back, still sharp with the mind.
Jul’z got the smoke, I’m watchin’ the dash,
Hood saints on a mission, just chasin’ that cash.
No convo in Nedlands just nods and weight,
Business clean, don’t test that fate.
Slide down Stirling, then curve through the coast,
Perth sun low, but we doin’ a big toast.

Burner stay buzzin’, the packs in motion,
Jul’z stay low, no talk, just focus.
Split that ten, half slid to Binki,
Other half moved through Rocko linky.
Freo we cruise, straight facts, no flex,
Just grind and collect no need for a cheque.
Splity run his play like footy in winter,
No smoke left just ash in the spinner.

Splity and Jul’z on the Kwinny Freeway,
30K cash, no games, no leeway,
Nedlands plug got 10 for the low,
Pick up the pack, then we back on go.
Through Cottesloe, then Freeo quick,
Back to Kwinny, collect that tick,
Licks get hit, then the packs get split 
We don’t follow rules, we Splitt and spit.

Early morning grind, no time for sleep,
Kwinny’s got my back while the city creeps.
Dodgin’ the po-po, eyes sharp like a hawk,
Every move calculated, steady on the walk.
Medina’s buzzing, streets whisper the news,
Splity’s got the burner, I’m makin’ the moves.
Clockin’ the score, every lick’s a win,
This Perth hustle it’s deep in my skin.

Night falls heavy, but the grind stays lit,
Kwinny lanes tight, but we never quit.
From Sulphur road to Gilmore ave, streets know the name,
Jul’z and Splity, runnin’ the game.
Cash in the duffle, smoke in the rear,
Eyes on the prize, no time for fear.
Tick burner hot, plans locked tight,
We movin’ weight clean, no shade in sight.

Tick for the flip…
No talk on the trip…
Money don’t fold, it stack and drip…
From dawn to dusk, it’s the same old hustle,
Dodgin’ the eyes, keep the muscle subtle.
City lights flicker, shadows get deep,
We play for keeps no time for sleep.

Split-teeee… and Jul’z… on the Freeee-way…
Thirty thou’ cash… ain’t no leee-way…
Nedlands plug… got ten for the lowwww…
Pick it up smooth… then we baaaack on goooo…

Cottes-loooe… breeze… Freeo drip…
Back to Kwinny… tick-tick… flip…
Lick get hit… pack get split…
No talk for the trip
Money don’t fold it stack and drip
We don’t follow nothin’… we Splitt… and spit.

Peak Hour

That day I tried to get it out, a thousand words to say
But the fear of losing you just got in the way
Yeah it pulled me down and left me in a place I can't escape
Why's it so hard to find the words, to find a better shape?

'Cause sometimes a look speaks what the mouth can't say
Words thrown to the wind, don't mean a thing anyway
I'm stuck in this moment, a hard place to leave
But I know if I don't speak up, I'll never be free

See the ghost of that moment, replaying in my mind
A hundred different versions of the words I left behind
My heart beats to the rhythm of a beat I've never known
Just the echo of silence, sittin' on this throne alone
I see the life we could have, right there in front of my eyes
But this cage I've built of silence, is where my spirit lies

'Cause sometimes a look speaks what the mouth can't say
Words thrown to the wind, don't mean a thing anyway
I'm stuck in this moment, a hard place to leave
But I know if I don't speak up, I'll never be free

Yeah, I'm tired of the weight, the pressure in my chest
Gotta break these chains now, put my soul to the test
Gonna find my voice, a sound that's raw and true
'Cause the only way out is through, is through to you

'Cause sometimes a look speaks what the mouth can't say
Words thrown to the wind, don't mean a thing anyway
I'm stuck in this moment, a hard place to leave
But I know if I don't speak up, I'll never be free

Gonna be free...
Yeah...
Break out...
And speak...
Free...

lyrics:

Sunshine, bathe me, lately life’s been crazy
Your Eyes, tell all, we outside with it, your call
Move me, Need Me, care about it, breath deep
You see, what I miss, holdin on to ya with a tight grip
Light Lit, no cap, heart spilled all over the Floor mat
Tongue out, I don’t know how to hold that
Nowadays I don’t really want to hold back                                                                            

So I hit em where it hurts, (Set sail, lighthouse, Search) 
So I hit em where it hurts, (Set sail, Lighthouse, Search)

I been down with you, you been down with me, we know this ain’t all Talk                                                                
I’m on a Quest-love, Learn my roots/ Think that Black Thought, this my truth/ This that tipping point, this that proof/ Go head spark it up, we off mute/ loud and clear now, that sound good?/ Life in motion, like it should/ Came a long way, play that long game, yesterday gone, we’re on our way, aye/

Don't Need You
