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

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

Verse One
You're not a broken soul
I don’t know what you think you see
You're not fooling me, anymore
Where is your mind at?
What are you thinking?
What do you want now? What is it you need from me?
Baby
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 x 2
Saying you need me, alright
Right, right, right
Verse Two
You're not responsible
Or that's at least what you would say
When it came to me, and how I felt, yeah
Wanting to know things that you wouldn't tell me
Then you would just leave
But you still believed something, a little deeper down
You see there's something about you
That tells me that you’re mine forever
I don’t think you'll mind forever
But where is your mind at?
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

Verse One
This feels like it's make-believe, you and me.
(You and me)
I feel like you're going far, I'm walking to you
Before the fall, I'll be there for you
Speak what you know, run out of patience
You won't be here, and I'll be without you
(x2)
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 Two
I think I am, waiting for a saviour.
I know you're here, but I don't wanna waste your time.
(You can waste my time)
You're too good to be mine.
'Cause I’ve been over here, waiting for acceptance.
Hear you loud and clear but your love I can’t accept this.
I gotta let go, out on my own, and I feel if I stay,
you’ll love me no more.
And I never wanna hurt you like I hurt me,
this is something I gotta do, so you could love me.
and I easily bruise so baby trust me when I say,
you are too good for me.
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?

Verse One
Is that really you? Is that right? Swear.
You telling me 'bout your life as if we're right there.
Right there in your head I'm down,
I've been back around your soul, I'm so in love with your eyes,
that's right, I swear. I swear we're right there.
I swear, I swear, I swear we're right there.
We don't know no better so we'll die here.
Wondering, wondering I'm, wondering I'm, wondering.
Wondering I'm, wondering I'm...
See that girl? I see you, right there.
Telling me 'bout your life as if we're right there.
Right there in your head I'm down,
I've been back around your soul, I'm so in love with your eyes,
I swear we're right there.
Chorus x2
Bring it up! Bring it up!
Bring it up! Bring it up!

Verse Two
Is that really you? Are you mine? Swear.
I swear, I'm doing this right and yo you're right here.
Right here with me,
you're telling me 'bout your past and that, I like that you're my light,
and we're alright, I love this night, here.
Is that really you? Are you mine? Swear.
Telling me 'bout your life as if we're right there.
And all the things you say, are you hearing me now?
I could do eternity, if you stayed.
I'll be like your summertime, no one around,
runaway like baby it's just you and I, now.
I'm wondering, wondering I'm, wondering I'm,
wondering. Wondering I'm, wondering I'm..
Said it's you, I see you right there.
You telling me 'bout your life as if we're right there.
Right there in your head I'm down,
I've been back around your soul, I'm so in love with your eyes,
that's right I swear.
I swear, I swear, I swear we're right there.

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.

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.
Verse Two
You don't know what I feel,
we've been going around in circles.

every time there's no vocal.

Verse One
Running through the city like fuck it
Night time rides like fuck it
I ain't even really got a thing I need to do
so I'ma kick it with a little bit of room like fuck it.
Bun it, son. Come around, don.
Come down to Luton, I'ma show them how it's done.
They ain't ever really, really figured with the kid,
So I’ma kill it with a little bit-a fuck me that dude's nice widdit.
I did it. Asking me if I could side-chick it.
I don't roll, I'm a side widdit.
Tell your man, give you some time, innit.
And then you'll know the vibe love.
I ain't got that time love.
What I'll do is ride though.
All you gotta decide is….
Chorus
What you wanna do?
What you wanna do?
What you wanna do?
What you wanna do?
They ain’t really fucking with you.
I ain’t, even, fucking, with, you.
Break
Hit them with that mic check riddim,
1, 2, right ‘cause we gotta vibe with them.
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.
I am like blood.
Fluid.
Flow through your veins like a drug.
Do it.
Guess you gotta do it.
Coz you ain't true. (Nope).
You're just following the pack. (Dope).
You're just following the dope. (Dope).
Now you're sad ‘cause you're broke. (Oh).
Shit, looking like a joke. (Pissed).
How you changing the world without changing?
You just tryna save face.
How you saving the world without changing?
You ain't in the first case.
Hate.
How you changing the world without changing?
You just tryna save face.
How you saving the world without changing?
You ain't in the first case.

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

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.

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
