Working overtime think its best to take a breather Need a rest none the less aint really hard to read ya. Face be like a ghost since you been woke like you think that Someone outside there waiting with a cleaver Nah i wont deceive ya never catch me scheming Aint sly or dishonest, im a leader, your misleading Never bump fists if i question your demeanor I seem real nice but i'll be really quick to teach ya I aint PC do not try to MAC me Control alt delete to relieve Distortion when you talk no volume control Proved you got screws loose too far gone Forlorn ever since the day you were born Short lived life what you’ve always been warned Falling like them autumn leaves or a pawn You got no hope in this game Everybody thinking that im evil Cause I’ll look you in the eyes See through and speak truth Yeah its like that you aint a friend to me never gave a fuck about them no enemies Everybody thinking that im evil Cause I’ll look you in the eyes See through and read you Yeah its like that never been a friend to me never gave a fuck about them no enemies Eyes black and wide no tears here to spare If the temperature drops then you know I am there Feel threatened when im present so they all like to stare They wanna say something but they wouldn’t dare Am I meant to care? Find it hard to catch the feeling Never misleading wear my heart on my sleeves and in every single track that I am releasing is 100 me And my true self revealing Trying to be flawless then you’ve already failed Mouths telling tales n the ship’s already sailed Cant read between the lines or focus on the detail Dont try explain nothing I’ve already bailed Vocal cords so shredded cause you yelling Aint nobody listening to anything your telling Already tried helping now your presence I be dreading Weary of who’s knocking on my door and careful who I’ll let in

Be about it or keep sleeping aint so shallow in the deep end Im a freak and make it clear that I dont fuck around or pretend Quick to lose my temper so please do not give me reasons Respect me, look me in the eyes when I am speaking Spent a lot of time getting wasted out my brains Addicted to thrill and tingles it would bring cocaine n Molly always running through my veins So much Tequila turned from goddess to deranged Many problems but I cant compare to others Born with common sense which you cannot buy for suckers So woke with hope they’re deep inside a slumber Cannot see reality dont think they will recover Inciting violence, speak my mind aint staying silent Bout to start a riot raise alarms n ring the sirens Gazing with defiance feel the tension getting heightened Stuck on auto pilot when my state of mind excited Fuck your compliance only live once Gotta get this shit done will not have a shit run Roll up a spliff bud, like to spit it blunt Say what I want dont correct my speech cunt Flippin the script when I get on stage bring the heat and the rage like a scene outta blade light up the sage, need a spiritual cleanse when I smoke up the place , bring a means to an end Im the type that will go against the hype Aint no one convincing me to try n change my mind Thats how I am designed yes bitch im priceless Cannot tempt me no you cannot entice this I aint stressed , dont think you could test Con - fessed that you think your the best bless, A little far-fetched, Love for yourself, but your self obsessed like the next Fuck all the trends and the shit you allege It dont make you a head or give you an edge Never break bread with a sore necked reject Vexed and upset cause they get no respect Push you to edge when I say it how it is Aint sorry for my words, better go and build a bridge Hate on the wit and many hope I quit Equipped with a gift so best get the gist

2022 where your head at, last few years been a tough ride Full of fear, so many broken down pouring tears Didn’t know which way to turn but knew things weren’t what they appeared, to be Acquaintance turned to enemy real quick when shit hit the fan Knew exactly where to stand Knew they’d never understand and I’d never drop my standards Know my worth, I aint giving any hand outs Suckers need punch, real hard cause they’re fucken soft Mental illness celebrated on tick tock Ticking time bombs, indoctrinating young minds Groomers consume them in front of your eyes Something aint right, wont get down with this cult nah, Its just a strange kinda culture Looking like they’re victims of MK Ultra Seize, Control, destroy and alter Every weak mind victimised on the sofa Several personas they all want us doped up Acting real vulgar speak with double standards Watch what you say or they’ll try to get you cancelled Someone like me is someone they cant handle Offended you with reality, Perfect example Careful watch your step or end up getting trampled These type of minds sick n cannot be detangled Dont fucken get me started or else ill start ramble Spitting facts Make you pray n hold the candle I command respect and through my words I may seem venomous But not the toxic kind to effect you for my benefit My confidence infects, it may come across as arrogance Im humble to a fault I just thrive within my element Speakin from the heart if you know me well enough im the type to make some nervous Respect isn’t something you can purchase, take note, reminder in your journals Whole worlds inverted, be careful who you worship Listen to your inner voice the devil is a wordsmith You have to ask yourself, Is it really worth it? Labour without love, make us the servant, so better ask yourself is this even worth it? Dont know what the future holds, stay positive but weary The sun may shine at times but the atmosphere is dreary Listen close the terminology they use is scary Ill be facing all these crazies like someone double dared me Keep my eyes wide, express what I feel inside 2022 is fried keep it fresh, sushi chef Blood, sweat and flesh gypsy put a hex Came to wreck, you will never step with the deft, you inept Aint invincible, ready for the ridicule, Words have a lot of meaning but some to me are minuscule Wont follow any rules made by a pack fools Knock them off their pedastools, forever gonna speak my truth Forever gotta speak your truth

Staring at the page again, feeling myself spaced again Wanna let it all out, head been doing miles again Eyes be looking glazed n red, lay amongst the smoke n mess Paint drips off the canvas and compliments my pretty dress Cigarettes and Jimmy Choo sparking memories of you Your silhouette appearing on the wall inside my living room Catch me looking twice but I aint going back to that life Looking at you through the glass, I aint missing on them times Trust issues, what I’ve seen n been through traumatic Intent to be a little less intense and manic Conversations with the devil like im straight up satanic Burning through the incense tryna calm this inner savage Pretty face but ill wreck n shake your make up Your made up show you what these nightmares are made of Masquerade around cause you aint got no weight cuzz Throw shade and degrade you jaded since day one Speak the truth, eyes gaze into a fire place Staying home since there aint much that I tolerate Walking out of site through a maze and waterways Ripples in the lakes calm me down when im about to break Dont like your traits wouldn’t ask you for a feature Tones of monochrome looking like you need a heater Shivers through your bones kinda sounding like a xylophone Im like that cold air that penetrates and sends you home Paint a picture only just to say I hate it Keep mixing up these colours till I’m pale green in a basin Dribble on these pages splatters on my apron I dissociate and feel inspiration Know there’s so much meaning to this piece displayed within a frame The more you think about it the more you start to feel the pain Much remains a mystery try-to-figure out this story Find yourself intrigued n question mind behind the drawing Lines that form these patterns leave you with interpretations Scenes of satin whites and greys question mind behind creation Contemplating pictures like you contemplate your life Relating to the beauty that is captured with your eyes Within, as an artist expressing emotions harnessed Splatter your favourite garments in violet n vivid scarlet Drown in purple potions releasing oxytocin heavy cotton woven pearlescent silver frozen Oil paint watercolours seep into the floor covers Dilute then abuse like an addict watch the substance ooze Immersed inside this muse wonder who this artist is? Dripping off the easel is a piece of me I parted with…..

Cut from another cloth, always been different My state of mind be what yours really isn’t I am complex ice cold like a comet See the stars in your eyes when you me rocket When I speak my mind I’m portrayed like I am kooky Category street Wednesday Addams with a bootie I’m just being goofy sometimes I get a little loopy Proofs in the pudding, put the cherry on my music I’ll be fine forever, truly respecting my reflection Learnt so many lessons in this time from depression Power felt within ever since my resurrection When life threw me lemons i just figured I’d digest them Acidic when I spit it I am phat with a PH Sharp tongue turned your pretty face like sour grapes Aye no shame no hate but the ones who feel threatened always gonna throw shade Keep talking all your shit cause it aint me who be hearing it I aint really phased but id put you in your place You wouldn’t even know what hit, you wouldn’t even know what hit Met the devil in an ex put the weight on my chest Put him and my past self down laid to rest Tested my will and the strength I possess Another day in this thick skin I caress Call em all out, call em all out, hypocrites snitches Abusive Sons of bitches Girl with the dragon tattoo never misses Destroy your whole world and watch it all diminish, your finished Frauds give their two cents they be rapping with fake accents I got way too much passion to put up with their acting Put them in the trash, really only rate a fraction, Most gonna quit when it goes outta fashion, facts Sitting back with a cup of Jasmin Grateful for who I am today, dont ever wanna match them Im captain, im batman, I’m feminine, genuine 100 all me and more when in my element Keep talking all your shit cause it aint me who be hearing it I aint really phased but id put you in your place You wouldn’t even know what hit, you wouldn’t even know what hit

Try to see from all sides while impaled on a fence Take a breath cause its all quite intense It’ll makes sense once you see through the lens Hard to accept, hard to forget Trust its me tryna un-see n stop always questioning everything around me Cant stop wondering whats really left, stressed In this beautiful yet bleak world, Spinning off its head Prep for the worst, live life stay alert No way out this system or way off this earth Everything earned means dirt once you unlearn Turned by the facts that you’ve unearthed Extrovert turned reserved stay wise with my words Aligned with alike minds, spirits preserved Decipher the meaning when words are reversed Written by some sick types way passed disturbed It’ll all make sense one day, will it make sense? Will it make sense? Will it make sense? When it gets you, it’ll take time, it’ll hit hard When you realise you cant un-see the signs and everything they really symbolise Food for thought, what they reppin for? All seeing eye on corrupt crims in uniforms They say the worlds your stage but you cant see the bars No way out this scheme, no way off of this path Reality is darker than this hole in my heart Its morbid as fuk so I just have to laugh Its gut wrenching Every one mimicking the gimmicks, pretending Anything worth all the views and attention Sitting back witnessing this downfalls depressing Dont mean to shock but I dont follow what is trending Dont wanna stand out, dont wanna blend in Just wanna focus till I reach ascension Straight out the ashes where I have been resting It’ll all make sense one day, will it make sense? Will it make sense? Will it make sense?
