— Verse —

First step they'll try to hold you down
Yeah
Shit goes... but comes back around
See, I get the last laugh but I'm not a clown
This ain't a kid's party, this isn't child's play
This isn't me getting bored and trynna pass my day

This is real life, nigga, I question my faith
Like... what the hell is a cross?
is my death worth living for? and if so, what's the cost?
Is it life itself?
If it is that explains all the suffering I felt

Threw my coins in a wishing well, get a magnet I need 'em back
Tell me what I gotta do to get a stadium packed
Stop asking and do it, mhmm
That's the only way my niggas get through it

Words mean a lot but I never speak
I'm a distant freak
Hard to reach
You're lucky if you even get to see me once a week
Even luckier if I pull through to visit

Big fear; stagnation, so I stick to the vision
Anxiety a big part of my description but...
Music my only prescription, slipping and falling victim
to all the foolery, mischief, and some relentless decisions, yeah

You know, this shit is wicked
I should've listened

'Cause peers tell me to live more
Stressing like “destiny, whatchu lookin' at me for?”
Up and down wondering if I really should see more
This life is a seesaw, I see sores opening up and healing
Man, these walls stay listening

Ain't the purest, but my soul stay glistening, uh
Brother ain't dead, but I'm missin' him
Missing links I don't even try seeing relatives
“What's your name again?”
Bitch, I know you remember it, uh

But this is game we're playing and I get it even though I don't
Pretty sure you wouldn't be surprised if I grabbed a rope
That's how much you know
Turn around and go, see you at your funeral

I don't even think about the past when it's time to go
So let me go have a little fun with hope
Chances always passing like that neighbour you don't really know

In conclusion I don't care no more
'Cause if you really love me there's a lot to show
But you never show... so go

CAPTAIN SAVE A H*E (PROD.RVCKY)

all I can say is that a woman is a man's greatest enemy, especially when said man isn't too sure about himself, and that was my fault (I'm Said Man)

its Circa 2022 and truth (of the part that I played leading to the pain) is that I was way into my head and I had a baddie that I fell in love within, get this, she loved me too, like really, really loved me but because she was my first baddie I couldn't see that ... flop was that I was harbouring a lot of anger and insecurities from my past and present (at the time) to a point where my fear blinded me and I couldn't see beyond it, yet she was there...besides me but all I could think of was "when am I losing her" because I felt like I didn't deserve he...funny thing is that when that time of losing her came, it was my fault...I created a moment I dreaded due to the rage and insecurities. its kind of like how Anakin Skywalker's fear of Padme dying led him to being the very instrument that ultimately killed her (she died from heartbreak of her man turning to the dark side, he didn't murder her...well its up for debate since he did break her heart)



I digress...anywho, the "?" EP consists of songs where i created in that mind space of turmoil due to the fact that I was obsessed with the Idea of confirmation and certainty as well as the whole thing which caged me from loving the way I was supposed to kodwa we are better now...seng'khulile and id like to share this piece from the Soul'd archives 

enjoy bo nana
