Long life to the Kings though the checks don’t pay we are changing the game everyday
Long life to the queens who had never got the shot I did, but they came and slayed
Long life to the gang in the other other shift just to add a little cheese to the bread
And one time for the legends on the spaceship though you are gone, you will never be dead
Thoughts older than the century
Open heart surgery you see when I’m performing gotta praise me for the bravery
That shook the macho out of a bloke scared to be sensitive, but I know him like a relative
Splitting opinions with geometrical symmetry
I try to be a mirror to winners who lost the empathy
For the less fortunate all for pure reasons
Failed to keep it hidden when they stumble upon secrets, it’s regrets that creep in,
Slipping through the cracks like pulverised rocks in my hands,
As I struggle to cup 'em like breast size
Feeling in ya stomach you’re mistaking for butterflies
Is the birth of the true son of a lie
As good as the grief it hides
Portrayed as liberty you won’t even see from Brooklyn Heights
Missing the bigger picture of that book we like
treating it like Birthday suits under red lights
Long life to the Kings though the checks don’t pay we are changing the game everyday
Long life to the queens who had never got the shot I did, but they came and slayed
Long life to those in the other other shift just to add a little cheese to the bread
And one time for the legends on the spaceship though you are gone, you will never be dead
Next time we link, we gon’ set it off
Play all day, take the next off
They don’t want beef they ain’t Stroganoff
The future’s yours, that’s the trade off
Next time we link, we gon’ set it off
Play all day, take the next off
They don’t want beef they ain’t Stroganoff
The future’s yours, that’s the trade off
Man of the people, the lay and the pope
I left a void in my bloodline, they’re filling with hope
Mileage to show and still got a country to go
My feet wet on the road to get my ducks in a row
Life harder than calculus
I still pick up the pen and expect something miraculous
The opulence of graveyards, battlefields and crayons
Playing medium like seance, gone before the paeans
You mimic the greats you’ll never be ‘em
Me I follow God, in case I have to beat ‘em
Humble like the beginning of caterpillars and beetles
That’s how I passenger seat my Ws like BMs
One step ahead of the foe like Willem
No cash but I walked the line, you saw the film
And ran out in the streets, tried to portray the villain
I guess you need a way to make it thrilling
Long life to the Kings though the checks don’t pay we are changing the game everyday
Long life to the queens who had never got the shot I did, but they came and slayed
Long life to those in the other other shift just to add a little cheese to the bread
And one time for the legends! Though you are gone, you will never be dead
Next time we link, we gon’ set it off
Play all day, take the next off
They don’t want beef they ain’t Stroganoff
The future’s yours, that’s the trade off
Next time we link, we gon’ set it off
Play all day, take the next off
They don’t want beef they ain’t Stroganoff
The future’s yours, that’s the trade off

NO EXIT
02:21

Walk like you talk
So I go loud, guitar
So I can run, non stop
Till the sun goes dark, Like tar
Never been nice, an ogre
Skating on ice, it’s over
If I ever fall
I’m going down with you all
Walk like you talk
So I go hard on the drum
Make a goats skin blush, no make up
Whenever I go off
I get so dumb, can’t teach me enough
But I stay switched on, on your neck no love
Is gonna be found, it’s never been lost
Between you and us, go ahead or a-ball
You will not
Buy my trust with Ps like nuts
Chorus
No exit! only way out is to face it
No exit! New order, new decade
No exit! You can either bow or you best me
No exit! No bad luck, it was destined
Crawl till you fall
Who you gonna call
No halo on this Paul
It’s Saul in disguise eyes on you soul
Feed me rappers or feed me greed
Grudge, beef lest you bleed
For a treat, it’s a threat no pumpkin seeds
Carved out of this seasons orange theme
It’s a poor range beam if you’re signalling him
The end isn’t near, this is what it seems
What’s a meta for? I’m crushing real dreams
What’s a nightmare? I’m burning dark horses
How could I care? I was raised among corpses
Life and death was down coin tosses
You i share with my monstresses
All six will cut you like posses
Place your skull on my antebellum mansions
Eyes wide shut, smell fear, you’re anxious
Your belly churning burgh!!! It’s obnoxious
Down on your knees, you praying? Cut your losses
It’s too late to be playing churches
No law, no rights and no justice
Since I’ve been alive it was just this
Can’t read so I can’t show mercy
To the same world that bruised our voice boxes
Chorus
No exit! only way out is to face it
No exit! New order, new decade
No exit! You can either bow or you best me
No exit! No bad luck, it was destined
No exit! only way out is to face it
No exit! New order, new decade
No exit! You can either bow or you best me
No exit! No bad luck, it was destined

the CULTURE
02:11

I hope you don’t make me bite your face
Coz it ain’t like I like the taste
It’s more of a personality trait
From the culture I was raised in
Always raring to get paid
I hope you don’t make me bite your face
Coz it ain’t like I like the taste
It’s more of a personality trait
From the culture I was raised in
Always raring to get paid
Born on a Tuesday
In the land of Cinque
Baby fro sitting on my head like a bouquet
Start of a new age
Mama had a new fave
Stromae show me how to say it papaoutai
He was on a journey, trying to buy us meals
Next time we would meet, he and I were different breeds
Pocketfuls of wisdom I was slow to receive
So I dug out my two cents and put them to a beat, to that kid,
MuRli overachieved but ain’t no getting comfy
Left my achievements in Budapest so I stay hungry
My word play ain't no child play I'm more Chucky
Ain’t no flirting with these rhymes, my style's ugly
This ain't free it's a fugitive style
My flow's doper than a training session with Roberto Salazar
Gatlin take a shot of my raps he'd beat Bolt
Competition cannot get in the way of my free throw!
Try me! Buckle up and take a ride with me
A leap of faith towards fruition of your inner dream
No for an answer, that's a first for most of y'all
Let me remind you expectations gonna let you down
Coming onboard is Ramadan for the greedy soul
Exposed to the colours of nature that we don't learn in school
To rise to the top and get bored by the empty sky?
Or stay grounded and see my future with my third eye
The sight of hope bears resemblance to visions of a home you're yet to know
But a home nevertheless so we go
Talks of believing in what we're chasing fills your arteries with envy
The first seed of frenzy
To unfold
But I'll be ready on my family tree
With plenty of seeds
To feed your need
I’ll come handy
I’m so ready
I hope you don’t make me bite your face
Coz it ain’t like I like the taste
It’s more of a personality trait
From the culture I was raised in
Always raring to get paid
I hope you don’t make me bite your face
Coz it ain’t like I like the taste
It’s more of a personality trait
From the culture I was raised in
Always raring to get paid

I ain’t done yet
Put the pen down
I lost a whole year
Going round and round
Trouble came and went
The real stuck around
Hard in the paint
We multicoloured now
I’ve been a little lost
But had you double crossed
My LEDs off
But a fella never dossed
Got many loros patiently observing what he does
Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin, your time is up
I ain’t done yet
I’m only starting now
Grab the crown and return it to Lost and Found
We are Up, no balloons on the house though
What a time to take possession in this rondo
And run the show, and now we friends, I’m no Ross bro
…. Before you fix your lips, watch the gloss ohhhh
And I don’t play with Y,
I stun like O
If you got eyes that can read then you know it’s U
Coming out the box
Watch for the uppercuts
They thought I’m detox
And stay bottled up
So I let it drop
Molotov!
So illegible
My God be a doctor
And I ain’t done here
So put yer pens down
Let me have your ears
Good greyhound
No sleeping on the tracks
Trouble on the line
Roger that,
Engine number 9
Vibrations (uh)
Vibrations
Wear the bad vibes down...
Abrasion
Amazing
I’m acing
Every verse, every word
Even spaces
I came, I observed
And I stayed
Don’t feel the change in the air?
AC
Like their own breath
They wanted me gone
What’s that smell
I stuck around
I ain’t done yet
Put the pen down
I lost a whole year
Going round and round
Trouble came and went
The real stuck around
Hard in the paint
We multicoloured now
You pray for the resurrection of heroes
When It came about you shunned them for euros
My gullibility online made me desolate
I wanna know what’s in the mental of people of people that hate
By now all my icons started to bow
Those who remain don't impress me when the truths out
When they drop the instrumental, keep looking at the horizon I give you the resurrection of --- back on a mission so you know the second coming synonymous with the rapture for all who ever doubted the supremacy, haaaa I’m bragging!
What the heck were you expecting
Yeah my new direction is hard like a
Hm hm
So I ain’t done yet
Leave the lights off
I ain’t done yet
Leave the lights off
I ain’t done yet
Leave the lights off
Put the pen down
Until the mic drops

TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF

Monkey chants in the stadium
Jackie Chan in his cranium
If he could he’d be schooling ‘em
And let the game carry on through holograms
Roaches on my timeline
They don’t like me, but they want mine
My irises, the colour of a stop sign
Unlike my missus, I am not fine
Stakes are higher than a cow on cannabis
I stay on side in the clear like where the banner is
Laugh out loud just to cover up the cowardice
That had resulted from investing where the manna is
I see you get away with things that I never will
I close my eyes hoping I’m dreaming but I know it’s real
Buying time to plan my get out, Jordan Peele
While the daily news said he Kent, I’ll be Man of steel
My arms strong from holding back on all fronts
I know tongues that reach spots a sword won’t
Unbeknown to hotspots I kept mum
To spare you kids the wrath if you’re that dumb
You can’t
Hide forever
Ain’t nobody safe here
Unless we all are
You can’t
Hide forever
Ain’t nobody safe here
Unless we all are
Took a seat by an anonymous tree listening to Nas
Though the inspiration was free I paid the price
In the look a passerby gave us, it wasn’t nice
Age 3 we’ve been refugees like Clef and Pras
Opened my mouth and stuttered 4 times like Pharrell’s beats
So I just kept it to myself like these beats
But you don’t stand for something life is a lottery
And since I never won at it, that’s not my strategy
I’m, exiting my second puberty
I apologise for the false sense of purity
Those who saw it rise don’t Tom Ford the foolery
Worn as a guise to out screw the scrutiny
You ever heard my voice in the razzmatazz?
I’m gonna have to take a pass on that pat on the back.
That’s not my vibe
I just roll with the punches so I survive
Weather the storm, trap the rain and take a dive
Been underrated all my life it don’t hurt no more
I spit it, you roll your eyes like you heard it before
Next minute you down picking your jaw off the floor
You can’t
Hide forever
Ain’t nobody safe here
Unless we all are
You can’t
Hide forever
Ain’t nobody safe here
Unless we all are
Hands in the air that’s volleyball
Stand against the wall that’s a photocall
A thorn in your flesh what I live for
You can’t tell me nothing, that’s protocol

TAKE MY TIME
03:26

I slip, I fall I take my time
Sometimes I like to socialise
I sleep I dream, I free my mind
I live I feel, I love I cry
I slip, I fall I take my time
Sometimes I like to stay inside
I eat, I pray and I feed my mind
I live I feel, I hate goodbyes
Every time I try to get away for a minute you be giving me a ring, even when it’s engaged
Frozen a smile on my face, like my name’s Joachim but just like the film it’s fake
I always let you in without a visa
But this is not a day for Mona Lisa
I’m on my island, not Ibiza
So I won’t let you flight land on my pista
I’m not beyond your service
But I feel a void behind the surface
Fearing it would crack was I force it
So this is my decision you better endorse it
Been away from home too long entonces
I’m missing my migos, the minute I’m off set
Usually the last to ever object
To a good auld sesh, maybe I’ve changed
I slip, I fall I take my time
Sometimes I like to socialise
I sleep I dream, I free my mind
I live I feel, I love I cry
I slip, I fall I take my time
Sometimes I like to stay inside
I eat, I pray and I feed my mind
I live I feel, I hate goodbyes
Why you always get in my way
Why you all busy tryna ruin my day
Don’t you have a job, my rights you violate
Breaking point's afoot, just like a pirate
Why you always get in my way
Why you all busy tryna ruin my day
Don’t you have a job, my rights you violate
Breaking point's afoot, just like a pirate
(I won’t be at work today, but I will not be taking no calls
I don’t wanna entertain, I don’t wanna do no drugs
Appealing but I gotta abstain, it’s not worth the bad thoughts
Yet I still procrastinate, getting caught up in small talk
I just wanna stuff my face, I don’t wanna give no hugs
Later I will meditate, get lost in the words of God
I will chill in a higher place, no distraction onboard
My position too delicate, I can’t afford to drop no dud) Without drums
I slip, I fall I take my time
Sometimes I like to socialise
I sleep I dream, I free my mind
I live I feel, I love I cry
I slip, I fall I take my time
Sometimes I like to stay inside
I eat, I pray and I feed my mind
I live I feel, I hate goodbyes

LEARN TO GROW
03:16

Wise words from a man I’m yet to know
Showed me who I am and the way I need to go
Can’t say that I love the way it happens that’s for sure
But if you want it right, then you better learn to grow
Wise words from a man I’m yet to know
Showed me who I am and the way I need to go
Can’t say that I love the way it happens that’s for sure
But if you want it right, then you better learn to grow
Screw the world and you might end up with it’s children
Rest assured that I got mine and I have no interest in cheating
I send my prayers up and share the burden with my brethren
A jack of many trades, i master by end of season, since-
I found my roots in tribe called quest love
Extend it to U2, it might knock the edge off
Line after line I'm infiltrating your AirPods
Eager to make my point before we get to the next stop
A small window to let you have a peep
At this show we got going on, I’m usually too deep
But my hunger is growing strong, and I’m glad your heart ain’t cheap
So by time you grow fonder, you will be mind to keep
They say I am a beast coz I mistreat the beat
But if you had to fight to eat, of course you too would raise heat
I used to lay the table where they wouldn’t let sit
Now I host my balls where I allocate the seats
Wise words from a man I’m yet to know
Showed me who I am and the way I need to go
Can’t say that I love the way it happens that’s for sure
But if you want it right, then you better learn to grow
Wise words from a man I’m yet to know
Showed me who I am and the way I need to go
Can’t say that I love the way it happens that’s for sure
But if you want it right, then you better learn to grow
A message to my senior self, never stop living coz old age is God’s gift
Stand for what’s right and keep an eye on your motives
Don’t be afraid of change and don’t you settle for passive
Even though I left you my legacy be supportive
Of all your dreams all of your passions and your causes
As long as they fall in line with His, I’m your mouthpiece
Part of the reason I insisted on being an artist
Is for people like you to find compassion when it’s hardest
Slow to anger, quick to listen to the students
Continue to lead with love, don’t go the way of the stupid
Leave the judgement to God, and His spirit execute it
I know power in your tongue, so be careful how you use it
I put my soul in these songs so freely dance to the music
Tell herself, she’s my girl still and take her to the movies
Prepare her favourite meal, and make a toast in the jacuzzi
Now press play: baby can you hear me
I just wanna say thank you for how much you moved me
The way you introduced to me different shades and hues
A catch up is over due so this next one is for you
