“I promise to let you sleep in peace. I’m just giving you the chance to earn it. Trust the process.” – MuRli, 2019.

lyrics

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...

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
