Lyrics:

Humble, when I see the lights above the concrete jungle
When I see the lights above the concrete jungle
Humble, when I see the lights above the concrete jungle
When I see the lights above the concrete jungle

Winter really here now, there's snow on the tree tops
Coming up on mushrooms on my way to the weed spot
Focus on myself, not what watch that he got
See a couple beat cops, turn don't want to be stopped
Improvise a detour, now I'm on a different route
Where to go from here now is all I got to figure out
I see it clear now, I'm guided by my third eye
A lion spoke to me, asking if I heard the birds cry
5 AM, no shirt, talkin' bout The Purge, why?
Psilocybin got me vibing while the world dies
I keep on moving, kicking ass and taking names
The energy around me is always in a state of change
Its stormy out here, I can hear the breeze calling
Listen close enough and you might just hear the trees falling
I am free falling, that's alright the seasons change
Time is passing so quickly, this feelings strange

See the world through the eyes of a child
Nobody to trust, haven't smiled in a while
Where can I go but to the same places
If only for a while, we could trade faces
Got to escape this, break the locks down
Walls closing in, its too late to stop now
Til my last breath, one foot in front of the next
Run until my heart start to burn in my chest

I don't care if I die, I've been fucking depressed
And every time I break free I get stuck in the nets
Where can I go but to the same places
If only for a while, we could trade faces
Got to escape this, break the locks down
Walls closing in, its too late to stop now
Until my last breath, one foot in front of the next
Run until my heart start to burn in my chest

My style is hypnotic, I can take you to the other side
Lay you to rest like I was out here rapping lullabies
Everything is cool, no it's not, the trees burning
Hood up when the block gets hot, the wheels turning
Stay lowkey, as I move between the buildings
Confront me, I might change like a chameleon
Then I ghost as I fade through the traffic
They say "where he go?" "I don't know, its like magic"
Out for the cheddar, be the mouse in the mouse trap
Fucking with the house cut, run before she pounce fast
Ghost, then I bounce back, blow about an ounce back
Dealing with the realest, do you really want to doubt that?
Survival of the fittest, my rhymes can push a beat back
See that, believe that, roll it up and breath that
Shoes on the wires, toss 'em up, they only Filas
Roof on fire, asking "do you really need that?"

See the world through the eyes of a child
Nobody to trust, haven't smiled in a while
Where can I go but to the same places
If only for a while, we could trade faces
Got to escape this, break the locks down
Walls closing in, its too late to stop now
Til my last breath, one foot in front of the next
Run until my heart start to burn in my chest

You make me feel like the man on the moon
Meet you on the ground, said I'll be there soon
Crashing down to Earth about a million miles a minute
Make my heart race girl, you know how to win it
Burn my body I would die like a heathen
Say your name one time and just stop breathing
Fuck this cold world, I'm leaving
I be in my own world the old world is freezing
Back and forth between love and hate
I'm dying baby I can't play another game
I'm on the way down
Hold me one last time girl, fuck what they say now

Out my mind, I'd be lost without you
Should we stick together just for all we went through
Locked down with no end to this soon
I used to feel like the man on the moon
Out my mind, I'd be lost without you
Should we stick together just for all we went through
Locked down with no end to this soon
I used to feel like the man on the moon

Meet you on the ground, I'll be there before you know it
I've been falling down and I don't know how to slow it
Time is running out for us, I'm dying on the inside
Crying as the strings ride, I'm tryna find that thin line
Tell me where we rest between love and hate
I just fall apart, baby I can't find no other way
We were all good just the other day
Now I'm on my way out, take me to another place

Out my mind, I'd be lost without you
Should we stick together just for all we went through
Locked down with no end to this soon
I used to feel like the man on the moon
Out my mind, I'd be lost without you
Should we stick together just for all we went through
Locked down with no end to this soon
I used to feel like the man on the moon

Out my mind, I'd be lost without you
Should we stick together just for all we been through
The man on the moon girl, the man on the moon

I don't want the money or the gold chains
I don't follow names stay in my own lane
I just want to feel like the old days
World is going crazy filled a whole page
I don't want the money or the gold chains
I don't follow names stay in my own lane
I just want to feel like the old days
World is going crazy filled a whole page

I don't want the money I just want to be the greatest
I don't want your paycheck just put me in your playlist
All these other rappers trying to be Instagram famous
No songs on their pages just posts about their haters
Pictures of em posing cliché captions portray players
Lowkey looking deep beneath the surface see the layers
Winter really here huh, you can feel the air
They not as hot but that's okay, I got heat to spare
Do it for my real ones I've got to keep it raw
My bass lines hitting like I rocked you in the jaw
Its that dirty wunderbar, realest ish you ever saw
I got issues, this my therapy you listened through it all
Listened to my problems when my back was to the wall
I'm so grateful for that, in these raps I give my all
Every track a rhapsody, a masterpiece for yall
Keep your money all I ask is that you catch me if I fall

I don't want the money or the gold chains
I don't follow names stay in my own lane
I just want to feel like the old days
World is going crazy filled a whole page
I don't want the money or the gold chains
I don't follow names stay in my own lane
I just want to feel like the old days
World is going crazy filled a whole page

I don't want the money or to be a role model
It was music or the dole, I worked hard no lotto
Tryna break free, lucky their bars are so hollow
Lowkey got the honey so the bees they gon follow
Emcees imitate it, but they clearly fake it
Get disintegrated I be out here beaming lasers
Why they try my patience when they know I be impatient
I don't want the money I just want to be the favorite
About my education, grinding for a piece of paper
They see the mic skills they don't see the years of labor
Mastering the craft learning bout keys and faders
Animal in the studio now I'm tryna see some nature
They can't be me, buy me or bind me
Tell em all try me, leave em on the IV
I be, vibing, happy when I'm rhyming
I don't want the money I am already a diamond

I don't want the money or the gold chains
I don't follow names stay in my own lane
I just want to feel like the old days
World is going crazy filled a whole page
I don't want the money or the gold chains
I don't follow names stay in my own lane
I just want to feel like the old days
World is going crazy filled a whole page

Gold Chains

Lookin at the same four walls thinkin fuck this
Move like Wu-Tang, you know I bring the ruckus
Comin from the gutters, lookin like the roughest
Nobody talking to me so I’m tryna be the toughest
Waiting for the bus with my headphones banging
I’m not going nowhere, shit, I’m just hanging
Dropped out of college, thought fuck, what’s the plan then
A car pulled up right there where I’m standing
It’s my guy D, I know from secondary
In the passenger seat, selling tree and ecstasy
Offered me a lift, I said fuck it man, why not
If you tryna burn one, we can head to my spot
Couple hours later, highly faded
Sippin on Dutch cause we’re dehydrated
Spitting freestyles til my phone vibrated
Aoife with a crowd and they’re outside waiting

Turned into a session, whole place rockin
Got so many villains shit feel like Gotham
You know I be killing it, you know I’m a problem
Talkin bout Gardai, bitch you’ll do nothing

We gon whack it out til the first light of dole day
MDMA in my body make my bones ache
Grind on your bitch passing time cause I’m lonely
Writing on my phone cause nobody really know me
We gon whack it out til the first light of dole day
In my DNA music lives til my soul take
Grind for this shit killing rhymes I am lowkey
Writing on my phone, I’m just tryna tell my story

Take another line one time for that real shit
Raw, uncut, pure coke, do you feel this?
Shit, let me try that, you know I be fearless
But there’s not a substance that can really heal this
Weeks passing by, one too many sesh gaffs
Thinkin bout my future they say just do what you’re best at
But we’ve got these debts first, they know where we rest at
So we keep it lowkey and smoke until the stress pass
Doors getting kicked in, people going missing
Block it all out as I feed my addiction
I was on my own takin speed in the kitchen
Man on a mission, tired of fuckin living
Felt my breath lessen, now I’m second guessing
Pressure, pressing, pains in my chest then
I begin to question if this is rock bottom
Something don’t feel right, I think my hearts stopping

Still don’t stop the session, whole place mobbin
Got so many villains shit feels like Gotham
You know I be killin it, you know I’m a problem
Talking bout an ambulance, bitch you’ll do nothing

We gon whack it out til the first light of dole day
MDMA in my body make my bones ache
Grind on your bitch passing time cause I’m lonely
Writing on my phone cause nobody really know me
We gon whack it out til the first light of dole day
In my DNA music lives til my soul take
Grind for this shit killing rhymes I am lowkey
Writing on my phone, I’m just tryna tell my story

Running out of time hear it ticking every step
Tick tick tock, shit this rhythm never rest
Tryna make a change, it’s like climbing Everest
But I’m going to make it because I don’t ever rest
Put here on this earth just to spit that real shit
Rap game need this, I hope that you feel this
There is not a substance that can really heal this
When I’m standing on this stage this energy releases
Burning mixtapes, moving units at these shows now
This industry won’t let us in so we gon kick the door down
Dropped my first album got the people wanting more now
Takin stages bout to pack up hit the road now
See me in your hometown, catch me in your city
Rock up at the venue, bring the whole team with me
Throw your hands UP if you out here living gritty
Real Hip-Hop, R-I-P Pac Biggie

Turn it to a festival, whole place moshing
Got so many villains shit feel like Gotham
You know I be killin it, you know I’m a problem
Talking bout Gardai, bitch you’ll do NOTHING

We gon whack it out til the first light of dole day
MDMA in my body make my bones ache
Grind on your bitch passing time cause I’m lonely
Writing on my phone cause nobody really know me
We gon whack it out til the first light of dole day
In my DNA music lives til my soul take
Grind for this shit killing rhymes I am lowkey
Writing on my phone, I’m just tryna tell my story

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fingers sticky from weighing Gs

I don't need no pedal when I play the keys

Smoking so I stay at ease

But Im hoping I remember days like these


Was a time I pray for peace of mind

Right now I just chase release

Yeah Im penning thoughts daily

Give me pennies, I play for cheap


Was shopping for semis in '17

Now I'm living more like Kenny Beats

Its 2020 you could take a lease

You already know, its twenty for an mp3


Feel like I'm ready

This music shit is heavy but its meant to be

So if I disappear see me in about a year

Ill be drinking henny up on mtv



[Hook]
Yeah I been about it

On my way, never been rerouted

High off life you know I been about it

And I don't need weed I can live without it

Make a mill, first hit a thousand

Just doing me, fuck how you feel about it 

Make a mill, first hit a thousand

Just doing me fuck how you feel about it


[Verse 2]
Listen on your drug of choice

You can watch my story come to life

Deise boy in Luimneach

I can take you to the other side


We already on another vibe

Have you ever watched your mother cry?

I said that I'ma make her proud

So now it's do or fuckin die


Rae said give em facts

Sit back watch your currency stack

That's why I wrote these raps

Had to show you where I'm currently at


I push adversity back

Im not worried I can feel a change

Cause I'm just smiling now

Back then I used to nervously laugh


[Hook]
Yeah I been about it

On my way, never been rerouted

High off life you know I been about it

And I don't need weed I can live without it

Make a mill, first hit a thousand

Just doing me, fuck how you feel about it 

Make a mill, first hit a thousand

Just doing me fuck how you feel about it

Been About It
