Never Die Ft Breeze
01:24

Too dark on the inside
Wanna move from the blocks to the ringside
Let me paint you a picture
Show you the same thing that inside
See me on the outside
I moved from the East to the Southside
Cost an arm & leg
But I went from the loss to the win side
Rawhide,I was born on the poor side
Shots in door side
Yutes that will shoot through your jawside
Now I hand glide,
blindfolded with my hands tied
Ink ain’t dried yet,My dad died & I still ain’t cried yet
Sunset ride shotgun in a jump jet
No more bumps in the road
Man ain’t tested the pump yet
Flying away because I’ve got oil in the sun
Ain’t had a dump yet
Might touch down in a month
Mark of the beast,but I can’t see the police
Shoot for the starts,I’m a star in the east.
Leave me alone,let me do My Ting
I’m an outsider
Tell them outsiders win

Reflect
03:13
|

More time
My mind don’t rest more time
I just live a day then got to the next,More time
I need to reflect more
Even though i feel like I’m living on the edge,More time
I eat with the stress more time
Society says we need to spend more
but we can’t ever get spend more time x2
I’ve got a problem with balance
A lot of old issues are keeping me stagnant
A fear of failure is whats keeping me active
I’m either totally obsessed or easily distracted
I’m at odds trying to even the average
I’m trying to find peace
but these people just keep on attacking
energy thieves & assassins.
but i’m dreaming in colours these people can’t even imagine
Looking for sunshine as i weave through the labyrinth
Am i too deep in this madness?
I stay sharp and alert so i see through their tactics
My thoughts are coming in frequent & frantic
thats why you won’t see me relaxing
More time
My mind don’t rest more time
I just live a day then got to the next,More time
I need to reflect more
Even though i feel like I’m living on the edge,More time
I eat with the stress more time
Society says we need to spend more
but we can’t ever get spend more time
More love & more light
More blessings,More life.
you ain’t gotta be who you were before
change is alright
Growth is the essence of life
So let your old energy die
Just remember the things that never evolve
Are the ones that never survive
and i ain’t trying to get left behind
I need to flourish & thrive
Most L’s are just lessons
They’re designed & here to elevate minds
Most burdens are blessings in disguise
I need to recognise mine
I’m positive that i’m not with these negative vibes
thats where the lesser minds lie.
More time
My mind don’t rest more time
I just live a day then got to the next,More time
I need to reflect more
Even though i feel like I’m living on the edge,More time
I eat with the stress more time
Society says we need to spend more
but we can’t ever get spend more time
I was getting older, but still making decisions like i’m a kid
I was doing a lot of things wrong for too long,that i didn’t want to admit
tried to drag to my past into my future
I just realised that them things don’t mix
You can never change the way the thing were
it is what it is
I needed to learn how to reflect & not dwell on a future that doesn’t exist
No maybes or what ifs
no coulda should of or what i would of did
I had to pull myself through the mist
I had to teach myself how to win
remind myself, that i’m the shit
Had to tell myself i’m a king
but i know that i gets like that sometimes
I forget the i’m blessed sometimes
My family said i need to spend more time
we need to connect more
From time to time i jut get in my head sometimes
I need to project more
society said we need to spend more
but we can’t ever get more,Time.

Do My Ting
03:14

Dem boys can’t step in the shoes i’m in
They aint never had a view like this
I still roll deep like the crew i’m in
Them man are on a rudeboy ting
I’m so grown,So i’m just focused on dough
Them man there don’t move like this
Still raw,Thats why them man cant see me anymore
Thats why i just do my ting
Take care of the family
Do my ting
I get even,Not angry
Do my ting
I move separate,Not anti
Do my ting
If they try attack me
Do my ting
Nobody can stop me
& i don’t need no co sign to back me
Do my ting
Only a sideman gets side tracked
So i just pattern & do my ting
I’m not looking for no handouts
None of my goals are out of reach
I’ve got the vision,I Keep seeing these things they can’t see
I work pattern & build,Then repeat
I can’t get the fruits of my labour
if i don’t plant the seeds.
i’m just fed up of trying a ting
lucky can’t rely on it
my luck is when i decide it is
I’ve got to stop my life from spiralling
life is short,
best take time with it
I see an opportunity then i’m diving it
so i ain’t wasting five minutes
concrete jungle survivalist
i haven’t got time for idling
the devil is trying me & i’m fighting it
its all Gods work & i assist
I’m ready for the works, sign me in
stay ready for the worst, remind them if
even if its going good…times can switch
Stay ready for the world despite if its
Trying to lick me down,I’m trying to win.
And my L’s are not losses
Mine are lessons manaman learnt from it
Time is money you know that i need profit
hello, opportunity is knocking
Never giving up is like a rule i live by
you know i’m a do my ting..i
will forever do me
it doesn’t matter about who likes it..
Dem boys can’t step in the shoes i’m in
They aint never had a view like this
I still roll deep like the crew i’m in
Them man are on a rudeboy ting
I’m so grown,So i’m just focused on dough
Them man there don’t move like this
Still raw,Thats why them man cant see me anymore
Thats why i just do my ting
Take care of the family
Do my ting
I get even,Not angry
Do my ting
I move separate,Not anti
Do my ting
If they try attack me
Do my ting
Nobody can stop me
& i don’t need no co sign to back me
Do my ting
Only a sideman gets side tracked
So i just pattern & do my ting
I’m not looking for no handouts
None of my goals are out of reach
I’ve got the vision,I Keep seeing these things they can’t see
I work pattern & build,Then repeat
I can’t get the fruits of my labour
if i don’t plant the seeds.
They keep asking, what the trick is
I don’t watch face,I watch figures
I keep working until its finished
stay focused on the vision
mind my business if its not business
I never rely on no bring in
you gotta get up & get it, its not given
Cant see me mana missing
No lacking i’m on a mission
You can’t just go through life
You gotta live it
Master P,No Limits
Because i want them yards i ain’t been in
I want them cars i ain’t driven
I wanna pack my bags look at country on the map
& go make a visit
but them man never do what they wanna do
Always chatting about what they’re gonna do
Always thinking about what they’re gonna lose
If you think just like that, then you’re going to lose
The world don’t stay still,So you gotta move
Yeah man i’ll holla back man im on the move
Living life,Getting paid like i wanna do
If you’re on the same vibe then i’ll holla you
Do my ting
Do my ting
Do my ting
Do my ting

Just don’t lump me in with the rest of them cause
Ive done more dirt than the worst of them darling
She said all men are trash

I’ve been burnt & I haven’t been pally ever since
I grew around the outskirts & I was looking at the valley of the kings
I watched them tally up the wins
So I work like I never had thing
I got solo rally no assists
Lazy,that’s one thing I’ve never been
Man go where they’ve never been
I clocked on when them man dropped off
& i kept on going when them mama stopped off
I’m cut from a cloth that them man are not from
I’m not the same man I was once was
I work with powers that these man have not got
digital for these analogue dons
its me vs men these man are not ops
cant be stopped when man is locked on
we powered the bandwagon that they jumped on
i ain’t never been scared of a badman bop
me & them ain’t the same
we ain’t never been fam, not even my long lost
bumps in the road that i travel & cross
savour the wins because man has lost lots
wandering, but man is not lost
so im holding it down untill man is on top
Face your fears & speak your truth
Know that there is no backing down
take a L,Shake it off
trust your vibe & stand your ground
mind your business do your thing
swerve & skrr & zat about
around here there is no days off
pattern work, stack count
east london
M A,what?
bitches wanna press play don
macs in the game get rained on
newcomers looking lost
what are they on?
max unlimited tekkers
got lost in a world full of drugs & heffers
where man will clap corn at your sunday breakfast
im trying to put money in separate ventures
don’t listen to lectures
im the big man around here
I’ve been in the trenches lurking
whips got spun around here
i know you think im chatting about air
but the streets know
zeds when i reload
please don’t get it twisted pussy
better get yourself a gun
in the manor where kids press sticks for fun
it gets haunted
Face your fears & speak your truth
Know that there is no backing down
take a L,Shake it off
trust your vibe & stand your ground
mind your business do your thing
swerve & skrr & zat about
around here there is no days off
pattern work, stack count
no days off generate & count
in the flats generating pounds
you know Aks forever blazing clowns
swerve & skrr & race around
yeah i went away im elevating now
im blazing come check the latest now
they’re chasing now
but i can see one of them
i hit pockets like Ronnie O’Sullivan
keep running em
I’ve got tricks up my sleeve
believe me im uncivil
im on the ball you will see a man dribble
im old school like Danny Whizzle
im old school just like Shizze
im hot like Napa
becuase im in the middle of a mazza
& i bet them lickle man cant stand up
when its me,Manga the god & maxsta
Face your fears & speak your truth
Know that there is no backing down
take a L,Shake it off
trust your vibe & stand your ground
mind your business do your thing
swerve & skrr & zat about
around here there is no days off

We Fall
04:04
|
|||
|
I’m just trying to be better than I’ve been
Sit down settle & read
Absorb the message & teach
Deal with the pressure and lead
By example
But they don’t want to let a man breathe
Life is beautiful dark & brief
Pay attention to the patterns & themes
Don’t forget that you’re getting what you give out
& there is nothing you can’t keep
You’re worshiping p
I’m working for peace
Walking with kings
Worshiping queens
Even though things are far from perfect
That’s not an excuse I’m working on me
Works with no sleep
Working OT
I do works they don’t see
They work hard to look like they’re working
But that won’t work for me.
We fall
We learn & we grow
& pray we see home
& the more we learn the less that we know
A little rain isn’t nothing
That’s how the seeds grow
Some pain we keep close
We’re all on the path that we chose
And that’s how the things go
Buying tings,but not paying the bills
Linking girls trying to find the feel
I done a lot of things that could of got a man killed
So everyday I thank god foreal
I reflect & often I will
Think about all the bruddah s lost in ideals
Stuck in their ways,one way to be real
I pray that your dreams get forfilled
& im praying that you feel how freedom feels
Free from the fear of yourself & wield
The powers that you’ve been blessed with
Don’t think your path is signed & sealed
I know that not giving a shit is a shield
Swerving all emotions & feels
You won’t show the world who you are
Becuase you feel safer when it’s all concealed
I get it,yep yeah I do
Too scared to win,there’s too much to lose
It’s never the right time,there’s too much to do
Don’t need nobody else,becuase you have got you
I get it,yep yeah I do
It’s better to stay safe & don’t make a move
It’s better to save face & don’t face the truth
Stay stuck in the same place & won’t change your views
Change is the only constant
The one who understands that,prospers
I’m free in this world that these man are lost in
I broke out when I felt boxed in
Getting to the money is essential
But you gotta think about what it’s costing
Becuase gaining something
But losing yourself is that start of problems
We fall
We learn & we grow
& pray we see home
& the more we learn the less that we know
A little rain isn’t nothing
That’s how the seeds grow
Some pain we keep close
We’re all on the path that we chose
And that’s how the things go
