Tezeta 03:15
Verse One Take it back to a year ago You never thought about the future even though you would keep it quite spiritual troubles, always let them go. No matter what was dealt to you, felt for you, so your pain, never let it show. So and so, would talk about you, sympathise, realised all the shit that you were going through And now you go, go and fly sky high, can’t believe how you let it flow. Time would define you, I know you wished you had more control of your fate, but you shine though, anyway and anyway you're not a bird to be caged you’re a renegade. Resonate. Time would define you, I know you wished you had more control of your fate, but you shine though, anyway and anyway you're not a bird to be caged you’re a renegade. Resonate. Chorus x 2 It’s all for you, wonderful. Open eyes, so colourful. No wonder you, wander true. Verse Two Tell me what you’re running from, running from. Nights I see you coming along, coming strong. You play you’re untouchable, wonderful. You are unforgettable, until we’re gone. Tell me what you’re running from, running from. Nights I see you coming along, coming strong. You play you’re untouchable, wonderful. You are unforgettable, until we’re gone. I say that I’m ready you say you don’t wanna hear it, You tell me that you love, you love me ‘cause of my spirit. You say I’m impenetrable I say that I’m broken, Listen to my words hear the words misspoken. I say that I’m ready you say you don’t wanna hear it, You tell me that you love, you love me ‘cause of my spirit. You say that I’m impenetrable I say that I’m broken, Listen to my words, hear the words misspoken. Chorus ’til End

Notes 03:28
Verse One Notes I write the verse in my mind Struggle with lines so I write them in rhyme. Used to make notes 'til my hand, couldn't move Now I just type all my thoughts all the time. Like I'm writing my life in these notes on my phone Like I'm leaving my life in these notes on your soul What'd I say? You tell me I forgot I guess I write songs 'cause my mind don't stop This way I keep all my thoughts written down The thought of forgetting my life isn't strong Listen to me. That's what I need Everything that I say is skin deep Deep skinned soul that I rhyme slow Need that time to define soul Searching for days like I'm lost in a maze In a way I kinda like that I write low I guess I never strayed out my timezone I guess I believe I'm a psycho I guess I believe in myself to a point that I swear I don't need where your mind goes I write these notes, you're a typo I'll just delete then I'll write so So much more than you think I achieved I believe I'm a king, this is my show. Chorus Can I be true for you Do what I do, do what I do for you? I can see through your soul I can see through your soul Verse Two Notes I keep it simple, 100 One of a kind, you're a flicker of dust Notes in the sky, you're a thought in my mind But you won't make it out of the night flow I got the plug, keep the lights on You are not wavy, you're hype bro You're a fad, and you're passing I keep it simple, you're asking Harder to fight when you're fasting Harder to trust what you take to be God When the whole world around you ain't lasting That's a line I don't mind if you quote I share my story outside of this boat I will fly over the world with a pen Surrounded by heroes that guide me with hope Surrounded by minds that inspire to be Something much more than the goals they achieved Something much more than a moment of glory I guess I'll keep writing and fighting my story, like damn. Bridge Everything, everything we talk about Redefines, all their time and yours and mine Maybe we, didn't really think about the every day And every single thing (we wanted to be) Chorus 'til End

Verse One Pardon me, but do I know you? I swear I've seen you around, but I can't seem to place your face. See you kind of remind me of this girl I knew, of this girl I knew, of this girl I knew. I miss the way she walked right past me, like she didn't know who I was. But she probably cared about things, thought about things, thought about me. And maybe I'll see you again, around my way. Chorus But just in case, we never meet, I hope one day, I'll find my feet, and I will run back into you, back, back into you, so just in case, this might be, the very last time you run into me, I wish you well, I wish you well. Verse Two I was minding my own business, the past is where I don't find no interest. So how did you hit me like a memory? There's something real familiar 'bout your energy. I think you remind me of her, the universe is sending me the signs I prefer, she was like a force to be reckoned with, making any other girl look so irrelevant. I know what it took to keep her, I couldn't do it, the aftermath of that I wouldn't wanna put you through it so, so just allow me. I don't think this is the right time to have you around me, maybe if I was better, maybe I wouldn't be bitter, maybe in the future I could see you, take you out to dinner, but for now, keep on shining like the star that you are, I'll just sit here and I'll watch and wish you well from afar. Chorus 'til End

What are you thinking? What do you want now? What is it you need from me? (What is it you need from me?) Bridge Break it down, let it go Say you don't need me anymore But you’re still talking back to me And you're still coming back to me Break it down, let it go Say you don't need me anymore But you're still coming back to me Chorus 'til End

Break Loving you, loving you's impossible You are, you are way to good for me I know you, you'll do better without me here. Chorus You are too good for me, I can't be the one you need, You are not good for me, I can't keep up with this here I'll be over here, here, here I can't keep you near, near, near

Verse One Recite your favourite verse and tell me what it means To be you in this room, in my view with me too In this room, no bigger than your favourite hiding place Say it straight, I'm here Tell me 'bout this line that sprung to mind About this verse that hit you so deep You now recite it before you go to sleep So deep [is] your well; I'm well, pray tell Don't dwell - this river, won't stop Recite your favourite words and tell me why they stayed? One hundred and seventy one thousand words we have today Yet these handful of entries won't ever go What's the relevance of poetry? You tell me that it heals you You ever tried healing yourself? You ever tried speaking for wealth? You ever tried teaching your mental, about your bountiful wells of potential? Got me speaking to the Universe and wishing we were closer Wanting to discover more as we grow older I told her, I'm in it 'til she don't need me no more And even then I'll stick around if I can't see no more See or soar, trust me when I say that you're a spirit to be free, O' Lord Lord though, who am I to ask shit? I only ever wanted to be free And now I am, they let me be Hook x 4 Levitate, get it straight, medicate, meditate Recreate, redefine, what it means, to be alive Outro They talk about me, they talk about me They talk about you, they talk about us, and what we do They talk about me, they talk about me They talk about you, they talk about us, and how we're two... Peas in a pod. Oh God, that's what they try to be But they can't though, cause you were meant for me That's how it's meant to be And if you let me freestyle, I might Make you smile for a little while, make you smile for a little while Make you smile for a little while, make you smile for a little while You can tell me 'bout your words, and how they hit you really hard But never scarred, cause they set you free Kinda higher than the birds Higher than the world, what's the word?

Note To Self 03:10
Verse One Focus man, focus man. This is getting hopeless man I am feeling hopeless like I’m feeling like I’m homeless, man. Feeling like I’m soulless when I think about my vocals man, Trine write a lyric but I’m voiceless and it’s pointless man. I’m vocal when I’m happy but I’m muted when I’m searching, fam Looking for an answer that ain’t written on my hand, damn. I miss it. I miss feeling driven. I miss feeling real like I’m recognised, vision. But fuck it, what’s the mission. Let’s take it as it comes. Better days are coming so for now let’s carry on. Tell me that you’re here with me. Tell me that you'll stay Tell me that you're here with me to stay another day. Sometimes it feels the world is moving in slow motion and I'm not moving at all. Chorus x2 So let's keep running, running, running (So do I keep on?) So let's keep running, running, running (Should I keep on?) So let's keep running, yeah, yeah, yeah, (Do I keep on?) Running, yeah, yeah. (I guess we'll keep on running). Verse Two Trust me when I say that we are in this, together Now until forever Now until the end of days, it’s never now or never. Never do we need to keep it in or stay quiet Fuck around and make some noise, man. Go start a riot. Go start a fire. Set the booth in flames Put that shit online and think about the next day or, maybe the next wave, or maybe the next pay or maybe just go ahead and fuck the world until it rains May the weather bring the better days You love it when it’s warm Because it makes you miss the cold and now you’re here, a little torn. Understandably. But it’s fine. Let it be. Some of the things in life are bigger than you and me. Like saying it’s you and I, but the word me rhymes better. Thinking about your grammar, I figure it’s getting better. Stranger in your mind, don’t lose the stranger part of mine. I keep the stranger parts of life as part of the finer things in mine it’s you and I. They say slow motion is better than no motion so how about we get there first? Yeah? Chorus 'til End Until we don't need to run no more, but until then we'll just run for a little bit. It'll be fun.

Intro I don't always know where home is. But I guess that's where my heart is. So wherever that goes, I've got someone to call home. Now I'm back here it's a little strange seeing how different we all are. Looking back at how we thought the future would be. Verse One There're times, where I look to the stars maybe 'cause I'm from where I am, and it seems I made it too far. We just don't know, come away. Now I'm going once around my way Seeing all the things I don't recall Wondering if time has walked on by Without even letting me know. Could you be the one to make it right? Could you be the fire that stays alight? ‘Cause right now you know I'll be there, I'll be waiting for you To tell me your story, I'll tell you mine. Your mind is beautiful, you should know, too, if you go then I'll be right there. Chorus x2 Dunno, I'm tired today Making my way, making my way back home. Dun know I've done it, I'm good. Made it my own, now I'm coming, I'm coming back home Verse Two I'm going once around the block that I used to know, Once around the block I'm used to. Once around the block so close to home. But it ain't the same anymore. I'll be alright I'll be waiting for you, and I'll be alright I'll be waiting. I'll be alright I'll be waiting for you, I'll be alright I'll be fine. To see you, back here with me. how it should be, I see you see the things we did, the things we were, I need... I'm going once around the block It ain't what it was but now I'm back inside the spot. You ain't here to save me though, this place has changed a lot I can't hate it coz it made me, now I'm fighting to the top Carrying it with me. Chorus x2 Outro x 2 I'm going once around the block like I used to, used to. Once around the block, I ain't used to, never used to, be this way, be this way I never used to be this way. I'm coming back home, I'm coming back home.

Lift 02:28
Verse One You don't know what I feel, we've been going around in circles. Every time I tell you what I feel, every single time there's no vocal. I've lost your focus, and I can't believe, that you would believe that I, could ever think of you as anything else but me, anything else but a part of me. Chorus Please just lift me up and let me soar, and me fly for a little while, for a little while. Please just lift me up and let me soar, I don't ever want to come down, I just want to stay up in the clouds, I just want to stay up in the clouds for a while.

If you ain't sure, I ain't know if we can roll I'ma take it back for you once more ‘cause look, see, I'm in a dancing mood, so I hope you’ve got on your dancing shoes, if you ain’t moving I ain’t asking you, I can’t stop to talk I’m just passing you. See all I was asking for was a fun night, I ain’t got a chance no more, you see that? That’s called a dancing flaw, it’s like nobody don’t dance no more. Verse Two Running through the city like fuck it Ain't nobody dancing no more like fuck it. I ain't even really got a thing I wanna do So I'ma kick it in my car with a view. Bun it. Come sun down I'ma run it. When the sun comes up, I'ma still run it. Just for the fucks, gotta exhale. ‘Cause yo, it's kinda bait when you stare. bait when I care, so I don't do it. Screw it.

Verse One 'Though we never speak, disagree with your tone No I never needed, so I'd leave you alone Breathe through the storm like fire in a frenzy Tryna look for stars and found starlight empty Terror there's plenty of it. Mentioned my lip Nah, I keep quiet, I get plenty of stick Plenty of shit I'm just finding peace The world we know now, it's now empty as grief I got trouble in my lane, finding flames are reignited By the wars, trying to tarnish my name See my world up in flames, but I ain't ever played the blame game I can't be bothered with these fools with the same name These motherfuckers can't touch me Spirits won't burn, they can tear my shit down But these folks'll never learn I'm infinite Into this industry of snakes We burn bridges like blunts Bring the hitters like Jake, tell 'em Chorus I will find you, I will guide you Tell them I'm right here, tell them, tell them I'm right here (I'm in East man, living like a beast man, feel it in the streets when I'm dreaming who to be man, tell 'em like it is...) Tell 'em, I will change this, they don't mean shit Tell them I'm right here, tell them, tell them I'm right here (Feel like I'm in need man, definitely man, 'cause I'm talking shit that they really need to need man...) They don't know nothing

In My Mind 04:23
Chorus x2 In my mind, I look to you. I look to you, trying to make sense of this world, I look to you. In my mind, I look to you. I look to you, trying to make sense of this world, I look to you. Verse One Thoughts of you evoke a part of me I’ve missed Sometimes I wish that we could sit and reminisce and I would tell you all the things I did wrong and how I wish I never strung you along Lo and behold, we talk a little every day Sometimes I wish I could’ve made you stay and Though you left, you’re ever-present in my head and nowadays you’re more a memory instead of what we’re used to. ‘Times I wish we could do, what they did in films and take it back to a place or a time that we shared a memory despaired, feeling quite rare but you’re my only girl I swear I swear I’ll never hurt you like that, but do my words even care? Sometimes you look at me like I ain’t even there, Maybe I’m not. Maybe, I forgot. Everything we are. Everything is lost, in my mind. Chorus x2 Verse Two It’s a serious thing I’m tryna to tackle now Bring me to the planet so I know what I’m in tack of now. Tell me about your smile and how you smile so unequivocally, but only since I left you. Feel like the epitome of burning pain, desert storms and cold rain and everything you hated in respect of me Beautifully, you encapsulated honesty. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve you, honestly. But bring me back into the moment, I promise I’m not hopeless, Promise I won’t trouble you again, I put the onus onto my hardship, I graft ‘cause I’m the hardest passed all that past shit, need a moment to own it. Need a moment to get it right, and let it air. I need a moment to focus, and get it clear, and if I do it, would you let me, call your name? Or would you need me, to really need to, disappear? Chorus ’til End For everything, I look to you.

Discourse 02:27
Verse One Abstracting everlasting forces, focused on what we're fortunate enough to be exposed to, careful, they may expose you. Loads do, young girls with no choices they don't endorse you rather give you a low so they'll have homes to go to. Focused on my own use, only work with the soulful. 'Cause life seems to drain me, my mind ain't nothing hopeful. Nothing works unless you're grafting harder and we ain't masking times don't work well, it ain't hard to tell. We're in the new era. Rhyming for rhyme sake, time is on my name pressure on mind frame, work without my aim, CALMing the dark pain. I'm moving. Shifting my mentality to work for me and not against. Taking the pain away by moving up in baby steps. Whether it happens or not, we won't know if we don't move and try it out. Ain't that what life's about? The thief's theme, innocent bystanders ain't shy now. Guess we're reinforcing the force, man, it's our time now. Chorus x3 What is life to you? Are you a student? Are you strong enough to figure in this movement? Or are you moving for sake of it? Sake of it. Arguing for sake Verse Two Rhyming through inspiration Pushing no hesitation Faced with the faces forcing me back to basics, racist Faces are pushing thoughts from here into the law Power in institution don't like my contribution Can't see I'm doing good Just see my skin tone. Can't see I'm doing good Just see my skin tone. Can't see I'm doing good Just see my skin tone. Can't see I'm doing good Just see my skin tone. And now they wonder why we're pushing the doors down Forcing the underground, back to the underground But our mainstream lives in power. Forget authority. The world is ours. The world is ours we won't ever cower Rhyme is my institution Law ain't the real solution What we are shackled by The words are freed from. This is our freedom. So fuck the world if you try and stop me, Stop me I stay real with it. With or without you my soul is so real. feel it.

Intro We talk about a world on our shoulders Burdens and boulders, borders and divisions And we're hopefully driven Focused on the bigger picture, but the canvas keeps tearing Tryna concentrate but, everybody's staring at this tired kid That's got the hopes of a generation Speaking to the youth that are so broken in persuasion Then I see a girl, who had a smile like the sun But pain in her eyes cause of the smokescreen Done what she set out and now she's got the scars to prove it Tryna long for purpose but just ends up feeling useless So here I stand talking to so many lost youts but Let me stop for a second cause, I wanna talk to you Verse One Talk to me about your world and how it hurt you Tell me 'bout your nightmares and how they taunt you How they don't cease, until you're left broken Hoping that the scolding won't leave scars in the open Frozen, you're a shell of what you used to be Truthfully, the music can't help yourself to see Or face the world cause honestly, sleeping feels peaceful The only time in life where you are treated as an equal Eternity don't even feel like pain nowadays You just stare outside your window, and you're hoping for some rain The sun hurts your eyes, the cold is more comforting Broken down and broke so now you're sitting and you're wondering All of the demons that play tricks inside your mind "Maybe if I weren't here, the sun may start to shine." Eternity means forever, I'm writing on the streets Books are coverless and still waters run deep but Chorus You're my Favourite Song, you're my Favourite Song (Yeah you are, yeah you are) Verse Two Don't mind people that make lying their bread and butter Focus on your world and inside of it, you don't stutter You shine brighter than fire in total darkness Holier than Holy Grails and Veils that shadow past it Bastards. They envy you and rightfully, too No-one in this world could ever be a better you And no-one in this world could ever see a bigger truth Only your smile could leave an old man feeling likes he's 22 No catch, no focus, no agenda, no purpose No lies, no smokescreen, just smoking your trees Release your tensions, and let your love be Focus on your soul and just remember your dreams Believe in higher consciousness, focus on the stars Believe in your spirit and believe in my bars. Trust your instincts, trust your heart And if the world gets on top of you, remember one thing You're my.. Chorus Verse Three That's what I'll teach you, baby I believe you Maybe they believe that you're a star to be, they need you Without you, critics won't have a job Warriors with no fight, amateurs with no bite Rendezvous with no hype, Born To Do It, hold tight Let me take it, "you're right" Of course I am, you're designed to be a Queen Love yourself first, and let it ride out Listen to my words, let it be and find out Who You are.. who You are.. Who You are.. but who am I? Chorus 'til End
