Benz Boy - Riyago

King Of The Cape
Lyrics by: Riyago
Mixing and mastering: Esny Bringos

Lyrics:
Cause I'm the king of the cape
Saving the city I don't even need a Cape 
Killing that kitty while she screaming my name 
Bitch you too pretty to be working long days 
Kiss kiss kiss 
Now I'm sitting in the back with a bottle that I kiss kiss kiss 
And you dropping your music but that shit did miss 
Where else is it lit cuase it's really just this? 

Maybe I'm a bitch but a bitch made this 
Jah put me on this Earth so I could change this 
Put my heart in the words then the people rage this 
This country needs work Imma smoke a racist 
And I'm not gon stop till I'm top rated 
Top places 
Wearing gold chains that are more than gold plated
Swerving in the lanes I'm most imitated, most fucking hated 
Everybody questioning what my real age is 
 I tear it apart like I've been doing it for ages 
Cause I've been working while you were in stasis 
Since I was a kid, I was wondering where my place is 
Had to be alone so I could be the greatest 
Pull up and I pop out driven in the latest 
Looking in your eyes but I'm way too faded 
I wanna be famous, got a long wait list yeah, yeah, yeah 
So how could you hate this 
I display patience 
Even when my views are as dry as a raisin 
I'm killing these beats so I really scare satin 
Kickflip words like I'm Tony Hawk skating 

Sorry if I'm late in 
Never in the kitchen but I'm always baking
The king of the Cape
Here for the city worth saving


King of The Cape

Week 8 of releasing a song every week of the entire year. Crazy story for those interested: This beat was actually in a playlist Patrick VDV and I made while searching for instrumentals for our EP "GO VDV". I completely forgot about the playlist till I was messing around in BeatStars and saw it again. The moment the beat came on, all the rap energy from GO VDV came back and the song just came to me. Love it when that happens lol. Anyways hope ya'll enjoyed! Song will be on streaming soon! Much love, always.

Week 10 of a song every week for the whole year. Man we got to the double digits! This is proving a little more challenging than what I initially thought, but onwards and upwards, I ain't scared of a little challenge. This song is from last year but I re-recorded and re-mastered it and now this is the finished product. Songs pretty self-explanatory but it's about that feeling when things feel to heavy that someone can just take it all away, even if that includes some of the good things, you'd do anything to just shake that figurative weight off your shoulders.

Took the back road
With my back pack
Had mad raps
Everybody sleep tho
Ain't a cat nap
Like a tightrope I can not slack
Can't hold back
Gotta belielve we can put hope back

So it's pedal to the medal cuz I'm all gas
I go straight up then I fall fast
Even if I walk then I fall flat
I gotta keep getting up, man that dam fact

I beCatching Zs
on these dreams
how it seems,
Up all night
Putting in greese
Do yall know what I mean?


Like when the place
You wanna take
Doesn't have any space,
you gotta carve your own way

Or maybe switch lanes
Saw the light creep in from the window pane
For a second I thought I was gonna hop on stage

Maybe had a feature then we all gon rage
Finna look back like it was all just fate

I gotta belielve we gon make it happen
Basement to stadium all from rapping
I gotta belielve we gon make it happen
Even if it don't go the way I mapped it

Cause we all get chances
Some of us take it
And some of us grab it

Cauze me and my homies we gon make it
Don't give a fuck what you make of us
From the back of your mind
To the front of the line
We created this vibe
and we shake the dust

Me and my homies we gon make it
Don't give a fuck what you make of us
I heard all the sighs
With them Judging our size
Got Oblivious eyes
And No one of it phases us

They got so much to say about my plot
Write that, not good, you should
just stop
Did you put pen to paper and just jot
Took the hardships through which you fought
Every hurdle, all the pain, and your thoughts
And put it out to people, who see it and just laugh
I swear most of yall don't even know the half

fist on my face that came like the rain
Scares on my wrist, pain and I are aquiant
I Lost my halo
To the day lows
Guess I'm too far from a saint
Toxic traits but I still stay the same

the man in the mirror only one I can blame
I know it won't change, just cuz of fame
But still I race for something that laced
Look really good, but leaves a bitter taste

Now I'm waiting for a chance to put my name
In a history page, that framed
We broke the cage that they placed
All the hate that I faced in my brain

But All of those doubts don't phase us
Cuase we pointed up to the stars
And Put out our marked with lazer
We set the trail they blazing
Nothing short of amazing

Cauze me and my homies we gon make it
Don't give a fuck what you make of us
From the back of your mind
To the front of the line
We created this vibe
and we shake the dust
Cauze me and my homies we gon make it
Don't give a fuck what you make of us
I heard all the sighs
With them Judging our size
Just Oblivious eyes
No one of it phases us
I gotta belielve we gon make it happen
Basement to stadium all from rapping
I gotta belielve we gon make it happen
Basement to stadium all from rapping

Make It Happen

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Week 12! Wanted to try some drill this week. I have actually really been enjoying using drill beats and have a crazy drill song coming soon... but this song is just an ode to all the times I have been overseas and a manifestation to the times I will be overseas again. Specifically overseas touring and performing ( And in Paris with VDV). Big dreams, we gon get there. Each week we get better, and thank ya'll for sticking around, much love.

Week 13! Song speaks for itself but in a world where we are oversaturated with content where does that leave art? Self expression? When people are too concerned with sensationalism and hype these days. Also just some personal expression in the song as well, just chasing a feeling if you feel me. Anyways see ya'll next week, on the come up

Week 14! Non stop all go! This song is a story of love at first sight but never having the courage to ask the girl out. The chorus being a little bit of paradox becuz of how much I am asking of this person I have never met. Really enjoyed making this and Luke always kills the beats... Original Music man! It's gonna keep getting better...

ON ME

Week 15! Man I just had to take a day off lol. Still going strong. Took a weekend away last weekend and then recorded a video there, got a vlog coming soon as well. Just a vibey song overall, I really like the flows and cadence in this one. I hope ya'll enjoy. Got loads of fire stacked up. See you next week.

Day Off

DAY OFF

A Song A Week For The Whole Year! Every Sunday! 

Week 16! I kind of didn't want to do a video for this song because I want you to really take this song in as what it is, a song. Not a video, I want ya'll to really just give this one an intentional listen when you can. With headphones or speakers just fee it. But anyways for the visual just took a little bit of inspiration from live performance and tiny desk and decided to set this little thing up in the backyard. I really appreciate you for watching and listening. Much love always.

Week 17! Just wanted to remind you I can rap, and I go hard... Lol can't doubt for much longer guys... Thanks to all the homies for being apart of this one, they brought the energy!!! Check all there Instagram's and music too.

ANOMALY

Week 20! Doing a bit of a remix this week. Been waiting to do some remixes / remastering of some old songs too so if you enjoy this let me know and I'll potentially remix some other songs too. Either way I lowkey like this version more than the original. We going strong, I'm getting a bit busy behind the scenes at the moment with my job, but I won't let that stop me. Song a week for the entire year!

UP4DAYS

UP4DAYS (Slowed And Reverb)

Week 21! Took two weeks away from recording and this is the first song I made being back. The break was refreshing considering the pace I was working at. I was also ill so that slowed me down a bit, but Im back mfers. I've got a clearer idea of my sound going forward and I am excited for yall to see. This is just a taste. Lemme know what yall think, much love always. Peace
