Operating, like I'm still eighteen,
I been operating like I'm still a teen,
Kingston bars with Haks and Eugene,
Those days we raved with great tings,


Major danger in living in the past,
Realization hit, old me faded fast,
Casting Idris to play me, watch the scene,
Repercussions, yeah, I can only blame me,

Eighteen, South London boy with a dream,
With a team, but we split, chasing better things,
University life, grants and bursaries,
Watching my niece, that’s a major win, see?

Tailored sins, a closet full of past,
Atmosphere dark, these shadows gotta clash,
Coming to terms with the laughs and the jabs,
Placed at the back while these youngins just stab,


Operating, like I'm still eighteen,
I been operating like I'm still a teen,
Kingston bars with Haks and Eugene,
Those days we raved with great tings,


Advanced the age, but I’m still chasin’ dreams,
P’s from the pain built within, it seems,
Disengaged from the grind, lost in the wheel,
Doubted my skills, shit, how does it feel?

Disregarded the till, coping mechanisms still,
Operating, like I’m sippin’ on that thrill,
Can’t travel back, but wanna ride this saddle,
Mind’s muddled, life brings the damn battle,


Reminiscing bars, where we did them doubles,
Grown now, no cuddles, just a life full of troubles,
Strugglin’ to eat while gettin’ berated,
[This corporate hustle got me feelin' so jaded,]


Operating, like I'm still eighteen,
I been operating like I'm still a teen,
Kingston bars with Haks and Eugene,
Those days we raved with great tings,


Gotta shake the past, no time for the toss,
Future’s waitin’, can’t afford to get lost,
So I hustle hard, like a motherfucka, see?
Living in my truth, 'cause I’m still me,
[Still eighteen vibes, yeah, that’s the scheme.]


Operating, like I'm still eighteen,
I been operating like I'm still a teen,
Kingston bars with Haks and Eugene,
Those days we raved with great tings,


Major danger in living in the past,
Realization hit, old me faded fast,
Casting Idris to play me, watch the scene,
Repercussions, yeah, I can only blame me,

The Jacksons

I know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, and know when to back out slowly without breaking eye contact. Sometimes you just gotta give 'em all the finger.


August 5, 2025

She in love with the modern medicine
I'm in love with the oldest
Off the dust and off the Remy, she in love with the boldest
Get your cameras ready, this one's for the folks back home
This one for the ones who left me in the dirt with the posers
Ain't no need for me to roast,
It's real money off the rap, but I don't need to boast,
They think they'll be tappin' on my back, but I'm not here workin' for free,
Might take a crack at those who know, 
Gotta keep it tight, ev'ry body wantin' mo,
But you wouldn't believe the number of the snakes that it breeds
But I ain't sweatin' that
It's a high price, I'm aware of that
I ain't got no time to compare to that
Since we were young G's, we prepared for that
I'm a wild boy, they can't tame me
I'm from tha West-side of "ain't no fake G"
Still on the block, I'm with my lady
My mumma threw a fit, my shorty had a baby,
Check the silk on my KC,
Don't ever play me, I'm committed to stay free,
On my grizzle 'til my shit stop, 
Bringin' some rizzle to my hip-hop,
Shorty told me, "Babe, your ship's docked"
Told her, "That's what got my wrist rocked"
Me and my lil' homey went from Barwon to Goulburn,
Still a way to go, but I'm keeping it Golden,
Makin' moves on the low, like you wouldn't believe
Can't be movin' too slow, keep your name off the streets,
But you wouldn't believe
(But you wouldn't believe)


And I ain't no slave, my home is not a cage
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came
Walking backwards out of hell!
(Things will never be the same!!!)
And I ain't no slave, my home is not a cage
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came
Walking backwards out of hell!
(Things will never be the same!!!)
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came


Walkin' backwards out of hell
The God of War, I get my power out the shells
Keep bussin', gotta do that shit that sells,
You may be a shark, but I'm a killer whale,
Goin' all in, I'm in too deep not to prevail, 
I knew I'd make it 'cause I'm too stubborn to fail,
I'm too beligerent not to
Knew I'd come through, 'Cos it's written in the plot to,
Don't worry Homey, I ain't never forgot you,
I just went through the kinda hell that either breaks or unlocks you, 
And I hope it works out exactly like you planned, 
But I still got receipts tucked up tight in my hand,
The shadows lurkin', but I'm standing my ground,
Puttin' love out to these bitches, wherever they be found
you gotta let 'em know, I'm not here to fuck around,
Ain't building bridges just to burn them down,
I won't be led astray, even if you think I would,
Maybe I'm under the influence, 
Maybe I'm misunderstood?
If you listen to my rhymes, you'll find, in silence, I'm profound,
But like you're baby daddy, I didn't cum to stick around, 
I can count my money by just listening to the sound,
Of my wallet stretching every time that I sit down,
I finally cracked the system, I'm not trying to be found,
I won't fear the reaper until I'm cold and in the ground,


And I ain't no slave, my home is not a cage
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came
Walking backwards out of hell!
(Things will never be the same!!!)
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came


Walking Backwards Out Of Hell

[Hook]
These elites are fuckin’ killin’ us,
Tryna chain the spirit, but they ain’t drillin’ us,
We rise, we fight, we don’t combust,
From the ashes of the system — it’s in us we trust!


[Verse 1]
Eyes wide open, I see through the scheme,
They feed us lies, controlin’ the dream,
Bleedin’ the planet, poison in streams,
But I’m too relentless, I fight with a team.
No more silence, no more fear,
Every word’s a weapon, I’ll make it clear,
We break their grip, the end is near,
Hope in the chaos, I persevere.


[Hook]
These elites are fuckin’ killin’ us,
Tryna chain the spirit, but they ain’t drillin’ us,
We rise, we fight, we don’t combust,
From the ashes of the system — it’s in us we trust!


[Verse 2]
Watch ‘em sit on thrones made of blood and gold,
While the people starve, doin’ what they’re told,
But I’ll never bow, I’ll never fold,
I’m a voice for the voiceless, brave and bold.
Energy fueled, I ignite the spark,
Lightin’ torches in the pitch black dark,
Revolutions start with a single mark,
And I carve my truth — permanent like art.


[Bridge]
Yeah, they’re killin’ us slow, but I refuse to die,
I got fire in my lungs and rage in my eyes,
No puppet, no pawn, I sever the ties,
Rise up, break chains, let the real ones fly!


[Outro]
These elites are fuckin’ killin’ us,
Tryna chain the spirit, but they ain’t drillin’ us,
We rise, we fight, we don’t combust,
From the ashes of the system — it’s in us we trust!
(We trust, we trust — yeah we rise, we must!)

These Elites Are Fucking Killin Us
