Can't Keep Me Caged by Novel Stevenson

I thought it made sense for my first tune of 2025 to sound like it was dowloaded from limewire and found on an iPod nano in 2009 x

'I NEED U' out now - https://ffm.to/ineedusilk

I NEED U

OUT NOW

All I Have

Lights Down Low

ONE SIDED SYSTEM

Hide in the grass bait when you pass! 
Beware of the hidden ophid that might hit you!
The most deadly snake in the world delivered straight into your headphones or speaker system! 
Make it bounce boi/girl!

No front
No fuss
Just facts
Old souls taught me
That’s how we last
No flex
No noise
No cap
Real ones move
Don’t talk
Just act

Yeah
Hands that build
Hearts that stand
Raised by grit
Not some Instagram
Much respect
To the ones who ran
On cracked boots
With a steady hand

No tamtam
No blah blah
They just show love
No rah rah

They ain’t preach
They proved
Built it slow
Moved cool
Didn’t post their pain
They held it down
No tarp
No proof

Taught me pride
With patched up sleeves
Fix it once
Then let it breathe
Cooked with soul
Talked with fire
No degree
But they climbed higher

Say less
They did
Show up
They did
Talk truth
They lived
That’s roots
No fibs

Hands rough
Minds sharp
Deep vibe
No filters
No likes
Just life
Old heads
Still wise
Still bold
No chill
Just fire in the fold
Where it counts
That’s where they glow
Solid like bricks
Soft like soul
Much respect
To those who stand
With open arms
And a working hand

Yeah they stubborn
But it’s earned
Didn’t chase clout
Just let it burn
They wrote history
By hand
So we remember
When they can’t

Their strength ain’t loud
It’s deep
They gave more
Than they could keep
Told me
Boy
Hold that line
Don’t bend
Just ’cause others whine

Earned respect
No handouts here
They stood tall
Through grime and fear
Ain’t no shortcuts
Just that grind
Planted deep
Like roots in time
Mmm
No cap
No show
No shine
Just truth
Just grit
Just spine

Mmm
Oh oh oh
No fuss
No cap
Built like stone
But gave with clap
Yeah
Uh huh
Roots still hum
From granddad’s hands
To kingdom come

Tamtam
Nah
We keep it calm
With sailor hearts
And open palms
Danke Pops
Yeah
I see you still
Up in my hustle
My fire
My will

No tamtam
Just rhythm
Just feel

Hands that fix
Hearts that heal
Didn’t grow up soft
But grew up real
Taught by storms
Walked through flames
Still laughed loud
Still knew our names

They ain’t say much
But meant a lot
Gave what they had
Gave all they got
Yeah
No tamtam
No fake vibe
Just soul deep roots
Still alive

Mmm
Oh yeah
They showed us how
To stand with grace
To live out loud
To hold the line
To walk that shore
With nothing fancy
But so much more

No blah blah
No fake flash
OGs movin’ quiet
With legacy mass
They made do
With less than scraps
Now we toast to them
No cap

Respect
Roots
Rhythm
Ride
No tamtam
Just real inside

No Tamtam
