La la laaa la La la laaa la! Yeah... They’ve been asking these questions lately I hear them speculating I see the bar they’re raising I feel the pressure daily Wanna go down as one of the finest but I’m being blinded By all the clout and all the lights I’m losing my balance It’s crazy I don’t wanna blow up on fugazi Though keeping it real is so mazy The neighbourhood’s watching La la laaa la! La la laaa la! La la laaa la! La la laaa la! Laaa la La la laaa la! La la laaa la! La la laaa la! Fresh out of my latest hibernation Slightly overweight but you can keep your validation I’m ready to give a run for the mind of your dietician Put my money when your mouth is crying for better diction It’s a pleasure on the tip of my tongue, my benediction A venom for the wicked and dumb thinking it’s fiction When I said I got the hook, to set the water free of fishing But I’m still only efficient at delaying my addiction This year I’m hoping to make an exception Fire to the sofa so I’m standing for my lesson I don’t care if I’m on form, the class is still in session I ain’t been this hopeful ever since the last recession Changed the way I see notes Pay your dues, high or low Play them all, stay afloat Let them bleat, be the goat Walk on water, flee the boat Grab a coat, brace the cold Don’t you be too comfortable Among stones, be the gold unbreakeable La la laaa la! (Unbreakable) La la laaa la! (Unbreakable) La la laaa la! La la laaa la! Laaa la La la laaa la! La la laaa la! La la laaa la!

No currency for love Yet it’s seldom free When push comes to shove You know I play for keeps You know I play for keeps There’s little time for games So I just play for keeps New audiences building boxes for me But I know better my father warned me about these coffins You don't want to fit in like xenophobic migrants So don't you ever let the hype turbocharge your patience My new endeavours are yearning for new friends But when I read between the lines all I can see is prudence While I’m tryna build a bond over this line between us I see resemblances of James in faces of Judas Scared to jump out the frying pan put a chip on my shoulders Now I’m writing my own lessons, freeing my tutors Like sharing love doesn’t decrease it, credit that to Buddha Same applies to those who like treating second chances like tuba I used to live for the day I’ll fully release this anger In hindsight, it's embarrassing like rolling with Pandas That's how they got us killing ourselves, hotel Rwanda That's how they got us working for free for their propaganda No currency for love Yet it’s seldom free When push comes to shove You know I play for keeps You know I play for keeps There’s little time for games So I just play for keeps Man on man violence Posted my ass to Ireland Aunty E wasn’t around then Next thing I heard she caught a virus Oh I wish it was my 2nd world problem I would wipe em off the drive and protect us with that Norton Oh I guess it’s less important Now that I got my own apartment Far cry from those years when we fought over a spot on bed And ate lunch with our bare hands, no fear Of harmful bacteria Constant threats from malaria Power cuts, while running from faux gods and brujeria Sun splitting the rocks, gunshots unleashing hysteria Deep into your bowels Leaving your mouth open like you reciting your vowels They never cared about us I learned enough about power That forced me to have patience of Mumbai at Rush hour So I’m ready, sweet or sour come-on

I got no blood for these leeches Out of love with these species I shoulda been breaking cheese with But I shut my eye like Bushwick Blindsided by the thrill Iscariot brought the bill They want my soul on the till They still kill for these skills I be death proof to these cuts Like Quentin called the shots With black tea in the pot Same hue as the thought Blessings, riches Turn stones into peaches Hot stoves into dishes Make history out of misses No flexing, pieces New shackles or bracelets Stressing over wishes While snoozing where the bliss is... We are not the same, I’m an exception A class of my own You are stuck in detention Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Check the belt… Yasuke Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Check the belt… Yasuke! Coming strong like a trend I’m here to buck in the end Every step’s an event For the causes I represent The same ones I defend Are praying for my descent Into beigeville like them They on my throat like phlegm So I cough cough and I pass Just to get it all off my chest It’s that bad blood that I taste Loud, that heavy metal at mass Out, with the old I’m that new Bad luck eschewed, that’s good Bye to that excuse Broken arm was the cue Knocked me into that pool I’m swimming in with the few Who knew dreams must be pursued... Before you hit the fan with that We are not the same You little Dalmatians You mention my pedigree Do it with caution Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Check the belt… Yasuke Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Don’t play yourself Check the belt… Yasuke!

Tell me what I need to know Tell me what I need to know Does it ever get better? Tell me for I need to know Tell me what I need to know Does it ever get better? Promised you I'll be Sirius, that number one star Instead I've been mysterious, brighter in the light, Shunned the dark Still none of what I've been through is new under the sun, so far The Script is written I'm just running through my part Everything i know, I’m realising I was taught Half the time by people I’m finding it harder trust I’m returning my intelligence on a chopping block Couldn’t afford to stick with that malice till the casket drops Life like a movie that would never flop Fed up with spooning my dreams away with the wrong dose The big smile and the demeanour that you see me sport It ain't for free and you definitely don't wanna know the cost You asked what is it with rappers and terrible past? There I confessed it that our troubles will transcend the past If history lessons are still anything to go by You were just playing a part and you were about to learn fast You threw the towel in, I waved it like a white flag And prayed a better man picks you up like Moses staff In retrospect, we took a chance on a last laugh But the mouthes serve a deeper a purpose when they both crash Like the banana farmer jumping on a dingy boat To sell bracelets on a beach 1000s miles from home Imagination's kosher but reality's flawed 304A will give me shelter when your tears flood Tell her what she needs to know Tell her what she needs to know That it only gets better Once you make it to the bottom Tell me for I need to know Tell me what I need to know Does it ever get better? Coz I’m heading for the bottom I'm getting funny looks on the bus now I wonder if they’re seeing through my cross now Carried it since I turned 12 in a new town Trying to find my feet like I’m wearing mum’s night gown Look in my eyes when you say it so I know But I was shorter than most so I got overlooked Natural cause, who to cancel when it’s no one's fault Finished the books before i noticed it was all cooked Starting over by force, it wasn’t my choice Fear of sounding dumb like a bell made me lose my voice Hunger striking in the morning coz the money hates us And i still keep it close to my heart like pacemakers I thank the maker for striking me with my humble nature Breaking bread with my oppressors brought me back to Hesus Ye complex, left my body when I went West No compass, couldn’t tell you what i do best I plan on running out of bars before I try the rest unless it’s raising my own, which is probably next Next time I find the energy to mend a heart The seasons have broken mine, so its similar I attract I’m better when you love me through the eyes to my art The beasts is kept inside, safe, Noah’s ark Maybe you gon’ be the end of them, Arya Stark And put your ARC through my chest Tony-style Tell her what she needs to know Tell her what she needs to know That it only gets better Once you make it to the bottom Tell me for I need to know Tell me what I need to know Does it ever get better? Coz I’m heading for the bottom

Family tree It’s not what it seems I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing 1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me Had I known better then maybe you would still be … my family tree It’s not what it seems Up late nights I was busy chasing that thing 1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me Had I known better then maybe you would still be … my family tree We were both so young and gifted The first time that I couldn’t resist it You had the lead, I assisted and It was actually good just a little bit tilted In the eyes of the world we exist in Often challenged but we stayed pristine You were my renaissance painting Always all over my dome like the Sistine when you lit my eyes from the crowd Skittles-like beads in your hair standing out Moving to the beat but your rhythm was off So you ran up to the DJ yo turn it up There I knew you would test my patience What ensued was a lesson in pacing And I couldn’t complain it was daecent When I realised you were making a statement It’s not what it seems I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing 1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me Had I known better then maybe you would still be … my family tree It’s not what it seems I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing 1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me Had I known better then maybe you would still be … my family tree I'm sound and I move like no one Had my ups and Lindsay low ends Found my way past that like a Roman But I couldn’t keep you with four hands I wrote songs, so they’d have me covered But deep down I was broken When I stood on that stage in Dolans And made arms go up like rollons Humbled, my eyes got teary It was goal after goal, I’m Thierry Except for the one of my dreams, she was Jerry Call me Tom, when you find me chasing ...Shadows of my former self Like the high end kicks lying dead on my shelf Took so much space in the room that it left Me wishing on star like Michelin chef Next time, I’ll be moving different I saw how I created a distance It was all good when I dreamed like an infant Some of came true and it got me complacent I kept my eyes on the prize too long to realise I had come for the tea not the biscuit Now all I have is songs to remind me of what could have been, I was young and I missed it It’s not what it seems I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing 1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me Had I known better then maybe you would still be … my family tree It’s not what it seems I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing 1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me Had I known better then maybe you would still be … my family tree

My neighbours wanna sleep in peace Landlady’s all about her peas Cuz on the phone calling me money tree But my bank balance's giving me fits My neighbours wanna sleep in peace I’m making sure we would always eat My bro still going for the man in these streets And his mum just wants him home in one piece I saw so many man act brave For attention, they only ever get in the grave And i tried to see things their ways But in vain, I was blinded by how i was raised I’ve been through my fair share of phases No balaclavas, but still ghostfaces Were put on on a daily bases Time and place put me through my paces Back when it was bad to get noticed Or caught with your hands in the red like Otis Hand on the chalk all white, call it Norris Sketching it out, 'fore I knew i be an artist Before i even wrote my thesis I was a master at making it look easy I couldn’t even get a pass in physics Spit into a mic and your world goes dizzy Next album will be a show of freaks No live streams, but I do do things In the jungle taking ---- with pigs But it never crossed my mind, to be taking pix I’m still hot from giving it socks I’ll be outside when I’m done counting bricks One day I might fit in your box But wait till I finish filling mine with ticks My neighbours wanna sleep in peace Landlady’s all about her peas Cuz on the phone calling me money tree But my bank balance's giving me fits My neighbours wanna sleep in peace I’m making sure we would always eat My bro still going for the man in these streets And his mum just wants him home in one piece Some days I been falling asleep in front of the class to show I’m the wokest Coz I'm learning from the internet that the syllabus in the school was bogus And my folks were cold like leftovers When I got sent home for no homework So I go up to my room Pen in my hand Banging that Wu Frown on my face Looking at the window trying to find nobody But that coin in the sky keeping it sunny I knew lit before it got trendy That was home when my pops got angry You would see more rays (Murray) than Andy When you get slapped in the face by aunty Back when they were over chastising But I'll roll back the years if you try me On my way tryna get that millie Change the way the family see me The pep talk is getting silly Lately feeling like playing for Man City I’ve been hungry, hungry and thirsty So expect the track to sound stingy Put me on the clock before I hit thirty There will be no rap talk without M...
