Pierquin + Beth Vale + AshFx - Come With Me (Cake Life)

Lyrics and singing by Pierquin, Music and vibes by https://soundcloud.com/onlyraywills

You can feel the weight pushing hard and forcing you down
Looking up through the prism wishing you could woosh up in the clouds
Your skin is plastic, mind is rabid, teeth are gnashing, that's the fashion
When you know the look is all a funeral, stooping tall, I wait and watch silent
I can see your crooked gall, shaking, you've been crushed under the beautyfalls.

I don't think about you anymore
I don't think about you anymore
I don't

We're all cyborgs now so it shouldn't really matter
I've got a fantasy on my lap and I couldn't see it flatter
I can feel my ego fatten and my id is passing out
I'm breathing cold, feeling old and my teeth begin to chatter.

But I don't think about you anymore
I don't think about you anymore

I spend my days drunk sulking in the back of my head
I still smell your breath the night you took me back to your bed
I've got bars, the bouncer kicked me out, I'm spitting out blood
All the cars are making prisms of the light in the mud

But I don't think about you anymore
I don't think about you anymore
I don't think about you

Everybody feels fresh though
But their faces are gone like a fresco
Garcia Martinez can let go
But I can't

And beauty's a part of destruction
and ruins can last for ever
but form is still married to function
so why did we decide to sever?

I don't think about you anymore

And they say that, I've got some problems with giving up pay back
Can't believe what I'm watching like Rain Dance
'cause I left and you left and I came back
I can't shake that, I can't shake that

I don't think about you anymore

And I said I won't get involved
I wish that I really don't live it all
Killing the will to be pitifall
Thinking small is my only recall
I just want to forget it all
No regrets just forget it all
I've said it

'Cause you don't want to be just a memory
every day is another necessity
couldn't face what it was you were telling
regressing to stress and depression's a better week
but you and me was a messy dream
never a day when we never scream
you next to me put my heart beat on next level speed like ecstasy and amphetamine

I don't think about you anymore

And I don't believe in karma
but I do think I deserve it
I appreciate good pharma
because this feeling's perfect
I don't want to be happy
but I do like some elation
whatever you can hand me
so my hangover is ragin'
I don't like hearing voices
especially in my brain
so I fight them off with noises
in this club where I go pre/aying
I look confident and certain
'cause I understand the people
they hide themselves with curtains
but I know that they're deceitful
And I know a secret
about the purest beauty
it's that everything is fleeting
and it plunges as it's duty 
in the beautyfalls

When I take the mic and get it every head'll get rolled
Never waiting every day's a lesson cuz I said so
Better days are every waking minute in the bed though
Forget the rain and meditate a blessing then you let go
Boom, there's the bass tho
Zoom, where'd your face go?
I bought a Trump steak but I paid the man in Pesos
Renegades are speculating money just to get loads
Instead I'm making lemonade, I'm tryna keep it fresh though
When the day is getting baked I'm chilling al fresco
Tell the haters messing that I'll press them into pesto
Dating at the restaurant and yet I never rest though
Every day I'm naked cuz I've got a better dress code
Shrooms in the womb with your head off
I don't wanna get a better father with a pep talk
Looking for a room with a tomb, ego-death shock
I'm in a sauna let a fetter shatter when it gets hot
Aw naw did the rhythm make you sad?
Take a bigger dip of that
I'm only kidding when I dab
If it's lit *cough cough*
Give an itch and then a scratch
If your wit is getting mad
Spitting sicker when I rap like
They say that I'm flawless
And I know I'm not Drake but I pop this
And I know I'm not John, hey I Locke this
and I get a lot of brain but I'm thoughtless
They say that I'm flawless
And the only girl that I should date is a goddess
I say "every human is a saint, so stop this,
but fucking god is pretty great, if I'm honest."

Higher - Pierquin + Dslite.

Yeh, I don't need a script gonna flip this
Ever since a kid in little crib I had a sickness
Yeh, put you in a crypt no witness
Cryptic when I rip shit, papyrus
I'm tired of the liars, I'm fired up, the sirens are trying
but I'm biding my time with stillness, I'm lingering
Karate kid, I'm kicking it
Miagi with a bit of wisdom
Ever since every kid starting stepping up next to me
I was guarding my territory, I was Dennis the Menace
and relished the blessings, I get it, they were jealous
of my levels cuz I'm special like venison
they were stressing like everyone
let me get some refreshments
up at the 7/11
then I'll show you some evidence 
that it's clear that I'm never done.

It's here that I'm wrecked and dumb
just resting in lan kwai fong on the bus back to Mongkok
buy some flowers in the early hours for my girl
I've got a soft spot

Old stance when I slow dance
no cold hands when I romance
but I'm bojack, I'm alone man
If I don't ask I'll have no plans
If I go ham and I phone back
I'll have both palms on the whole ass 
and the blow back on my gonads

Yeh, try keep up, I'm twisting through the busy streets of Kowloon, I'm given to calm when I'm fixing plans but when I instagram that I'm coming home the only thing they know how to say is "how soon?"

Well it's about noon and I'm bouncing round a loud room
I've been known to make the crowds move with a pumping sound
but now I sound smooth and I'm underground and I love to pound
the beats like flesh of lovers found when they say "hey are you coming round?"
And I do it like a boxer cuz I come in rounds
And they're so astounded they're like "fucking how?"

Yeh, let's get it, I'm generous, I'm getting this energy
I could climb Everest, oh you really think you can better this?
Just give up your own mind, I can be your ghost writer for hire
I can be your gold mine
Coz I make hip-hop, old school and new
I can rock it out and jazz up the auto-tune
I don't judge a style by it's surface I know the purpose is texture and depth
Jump through hoops like a circus I'm a lion you spit your dentures at best

Soundtrack to HK dreams
you barely believe
you're stranded
it feels like another planet
nothing's what it seems
oh shit it doesn't matter
I just landed

[Cantonese] "I really have no idea"
[Cantonese]  "So, can everything be outsourced in life?"

I. so, can everything be outsourced in life?

Rest in peace to the beat, there's a hole in the ground I'm gonna fill it
Sitting here feeling guilty coz I fucking -
Well I don't need to finish that of with a punchline
I didn't come to confess I came here for a fucking fun time
I work hard on my flow like the Panama Canal
And don't ask how I know you're a fan of the femme fatale
I joke about tropes but you're caught in the ropes
like a porno you adore will I'm reading Theador Adorno
you're perplexed by my flex like, "why all the scorn though?"
like I was born cold
the fact is I'll make you shake like a rattle snake
mate, I practice whacking wack rapper like it was whacking day
hit you with the bars til you back away
I once wrote a whole album in half a day

Yeh, and rappers get angry just to prove that they're the hardest
but me I keep it chill man coz I know that we're all artists
okay, I know I'm a little bit of a hypocrite 
but if you wanna be a martyr I'll roll you up in a carpet
and I'll tickle your armpit coz I can't quit
coz laughter's the best medicine and angers just a sedative
I'm good with words like David Letterman
and your tracks are begging for better raps 
and I'm better than the rapper you wish you were better than

And I just came up with a quote now that I wrote down
that makes your wisdom sound minimal coz I know how it goes down
it goes, "Politics is rarely artful, but art's always political"
so don't judge so much and don't be so fucking critical
maybe you've never heard of it, I lay you with the word of it,
but rest in peace to the beat man, you could say I - 
don't have time to finish these punchlines
life is a skate park and I'm always on the fucking grind
ollies popping, I'm always on it
and I prefer when people spread that knowledge
but rappers market themselves to sound like prophets
and don't forget conscious rap still makes a lot of profits
and frankly I'm shocked that I don't get asked for more features
I guess people prefer their team's turf and are averse to serious learning
when they could have mean words and surreal verses
I guess we need more listeners and less teachers and preachers
people don't need leaders they need to feel heard
yeh, that's real worth, so keep yours
and when they can't reach you they won't admit it but they feel hurt

I'm barely on the scene but I know I'm getting seen though
If I get my dreams I'll make a lot of green like Ceelo
There's more to life than we know but we might lose it like Tito
And there's always some good memories left , rest in peace to the beat though

[Self-hating hedonistic Drake style]
We were in the club popping bottles
distraught at the thought of another night of copping models
but fuck it pour another glass of champagne
to get me through another night of tapping ass
smashing brains on racks on grams of mad 'caine

[fun mumble rap]
I got zannies, I got fucking zannies
stole the from my granny, stole the from my granny
I'm in the wild west smoking weed like a tumble
I'm in the jungle watching vines while I mumble

[conscious rap]
People used to struggle to get voting rights
but now they can vote for labour
we're hoping for a saviour
the closest we'll get is uncertain times and undermined a little later
and people hating on each other's religions and causing pain
it's a shame because they worship the same god
it's honestly easier to believe that this god is playing a game on us

II. MTR Freestyle

Keep beach city weird

Remember this version of me

This is a perfect world, turbulent whirlwind
turning into a girl's grin or boy's tears
twisting into itself when it first spins and we're poised here
we need emotional content and profound connection
we took a boat in a search for old an sounding convention:
a human tradition, looking for signals
that we are natural, we belong here on Earth
we are post-national, post-world and kicking round the solar system
hoping this will lead to something open within
made love in an ocean and saw there's no such thing as sin
an epiphany linking you and me and everyone
"Don't you think we're all connected?" 
"Yes", said the setting sun.

And if I tell you that we're fused together
will you burn with me, not til infinity
but til we run out of steam?
I just want to believe that we're good indeed
I just want to believe

I found heaven once in a lake in Croatia
a grateful oasis, the nature was fragrant
and now the ripples of heat are mimicking me
dancing in the sea, burning til we're free
focusing close on inner eternity

and I miss you sinking into me, fusing thoughts, and physically
returning existence into symmetry
kaleidoscopic patters repeating till we find some peace
or finish in the cemetery
I never breathe enough consciously
I just let the stream capture me and flow through the days
knowing I'm surely dazed
and I embrace it but when the water's crystal clear
it's hard not to have a moment when it holds you with its patience
and basic understanding
I was born on Earth, it's such a wondrous planet
the thunder's manic but it's far away
I start to gaze into the sky and my heart goes crazy
warm touch, cool water, hot sun:
that's how you start a day

And if we both fall asleep and then we both start to dream
will we still be at peace?
I just want to believe that we're good indeed
I just want to believe

And it doesn't matter that I dreamt I'm an anime princess
it's my intent, I'd like to be Bruce Lee
or a past and future me
I dream of me if I couldn't cheat
me but with confidence, patience and more compassion
or me but less intelligent, less vengeful and less defensive
or me if I could look back in the past and learn my lesson
this is no time for dissing invisible individuals
or crowds of ghosts just to follow tropes
the confidence is temporary and feigned 
cuz I'm always wary
murderer of beats, herder of beasts
have you heard of me?
I didn't think so
just remember this version of me

III. Beach City (prod. by dwller)

Yeah that's me, I'm gonna get that cheese when I hear all them beats
everybody wanna come up and see when you feel that greed up at TST
how about you show me round the mansion?
what they've got to just to count them stacks in
gotta find a loop if you wanna down the taxes
see what's good hidden underneath the mattress
about to get the bus back to central
met another girl in a whirl it was eventful
gave me so much brain that I fucked with her mind
gave me so much brain that I feel like Einstein
I'm like, "now i've gotta give back the favour
and you better know that you're my only kind of flavour."

Blah

Vote for Corbyn, door to door
sailing round the world like port to port
I just wanna get laid on a boat is all
instead of spending days raising cortisol
I'm all for talking more, especially when our clothes are off
seamless
the way I switch the flow up could you have dreamed this?
It's like the beams of light when the water's gleaming
I mean when life's losing all meaning just think of your semen
you spit that verbal diarrhea it's a little bit of a shit show
but I'm swerving in a Kia like I'm skidding on a slick road
You think you go ham? I go hammer with a sickle bro
I'm out of this world like Morty and Rick though
out of this universe, Garnett, Pearl and Amethyst know
I'm *cough cough cough* I've got a sick flow

[air horn]

Yeah, and we arrived right on time to meet back at Sense 99
didn't make it to Insenses or Basement
but at least our friendship is weightless
and thanks for hosting me and the love that I came with
we made it to the amphitheater
I almost left I wasn't thinking clear
and Kennedy Town dim sum still tastes fucking delicious
getting me down to think I'll miss this place when I look at the pictures
and when I'm thinking of leaving I'm thinking I'm wrong man
cuz Tai Long Wan got me high on sand
but coming back is still part of my long plan
I still dream about the arcade when we're driving fast 
and try not to crash
and it's getting late now so I'm like, "sic fan mei ah?"
speeding down to some food like this van may crash but
we make it and they can't stop us eating til we're nice and full
on rice and fuel and I might just drool
if I fall asleep on the MTR to the New Territories 
it'll get me far when I wake up to tell these stories
and now we're back hoping we don't elect the Tories

[air horn]

yeh don't make me say rest in peace to the beat again
I'm feeling restless
have you seen the way I wield the pen when I feel the zest?
I'll even make you clean the mess while I'm reaching zen
step inside of my dojo
you think you're good but you're so-so
no you're not Lennon you're barely even Yoko
you're not woke bro
you need some sleep it's time for you to go home
switch the flow up, just own up and behave like a grown up
I switch the flow like ac/dc
I'm giving no fucks like I'm chaste, she's real keen
If you want some good rhymes I could make you a bit richer
or just stay on my good side like you're taking a picture

[air horn]

[Bruce Lee's infinite wisdom]

IV. Enter The Mansion

The cityscape is escaping my waking memories
never expected to remember these ephemeral dreams
a cocktail of sedatives with beverages and benzedrine
monolithic in the tropics, falling but I'll never leave
scrapers up in space that cater to wasters and accelerationists
taking elevators, gazing down in the abyss
and chaos in the hazy mist
we could bathe in this
sunrise, lazy, rich
we could bathe in this

I'm back with a feeling, to laugh and act brash
have a blast on a weekend
you can have a peak into this magic life 
but don't try to compete with
I'm gassed and I'm gearing up to live it fast
and crash when I'm steering
It's trash if you're speaking, but I'll give you're ass a pass cuz I'm cheesing
If I'm gonna flirt, I'm a kind one
If I get hurt I need a siren
Gotta love a trier you can cheer me
Getting really drunk but I see clearly 
If you see me leaning up against the wall then you can cash me outside how bow dah, I'm just kidding that's a sad meme

Fragrant harbour, ageless charm, it's smelling like a hundred flowers
pacing fast, I'm racing past you, dwelling in the summer showers
raindrop, Mongkok, cooking up pork in the hot pot
tonnes of towers, running round the roofs I'm foolish coming down
and the lights looking cyber punk
and there's Blade Runner in my mind
and I might be kinda drunk
I'll be Ghost in the Shell if I die
I've got DNA flow so I'm not a cyborg yet
but my amigo told me I'll get frozen
Harraway I'll be immortal next

Still I stop at every corner tasting food, we're making moves
tills are popping like some pills defies all logic we can't top it
part it up at Sham Shui Po market
we're shopping in the darkness
buying rocks and lockets and toasters and broken cameras
token badass passing phones in masses even stolen hammers
sold to amorphous diaspora lit up with torches
broken procelain
am I dreaming I've been here before I know it man
or maybe just fake memories to plant the seed and hold me back

I don't remember man

V. HK Daze (prod by Dreiska)

Yeah, I'm back again
how the fuck I think when I'm trashed again
how I use the fucking ink with just half a pen
I can't defend my lack of zen 
if I get fucked up and I crack and then
you'll have to send a paramedic just to check if I'm  sick
and I can't just end cuz I'm the best
couldn't give a shit if you can't contend
I made a mixtape and I've proved that I rap good
but I'm that good I had to come back and use my moves to show you
that I'm mad dude
I don't need a god like Camus
and you're never gonna get me like Tatu
can you try and pick it up cuz you play lame
and I know I'm bringing love with my A game
they say maybe you just entered your heyday

yeh cake life cake life
if you wanna slow down then you better brake twice
bet against me it doesn't offend
cuz I came to the game and I brought fake dice
