Look! Listen! Listen! Look! Listen! A target set I'm aiming for that bullseye we ain't the hardest yet and we won't get rest till the work is done. Finished. The hand on this clock keeps ticking by the minute so I can't stress much even if my mind's drifting. Gone. I steer my life like a ship with a handlebar I get to grips twisting past waves of resistance. Truth is most will go on a path of ease but I'm a stubborn guy that will go on a rocky road. Just go, cos... Complication? (long) I'd rather you decide, questioning questions are dead. Make up your mind! The way we work 9-5, 24/7 we push it. Reminds me of a gym sesh, bench press if it goes down. Bring it back up, you don't wanna be stuck. Pushing. The more you wait, the more it weighs up. I don't know for you but for me, if I push through pain more time I'm succeeding, why push so much? I don't need a reason cos I chase what I believe in. That's good enough for me and see it's only the start. There's more to show, to do, we go towards this dream. This dream that I have means I don't get sleep much... (I'll make it to the top just stick around and see what's coming.) Take flight and flight for a dream To break the matrix You gotta make it real The thought of making the top is surreal I'm going towards big things, want big rings and bling. But that's some pricey accessories. Won't buy an item if I can't afford the same one twice, ain't a one buy if I can't buy more than one of that price. Look... Take flight and flight for a dream To break the matrix You gotta make it real The thought of making the top is surreal Don't lose the hope Don't lose the will Cos I'll make it to the top Just stick around and see what's coming And we ain't too far yet. Soon we'll be too hard, bars so real with life it will wake the dead and if you need a light to shine, I'll show the path ahead and I don't plan to lose. Working and crafting bars at 6am, you're in bed pressing snooze, getting stressed cos of the sleep you lack. But like I said this dream for me means I don't sleep. Ayy... I've been practising so long, I don't wanna see MCs from last year and have them think that I'm the same dude. I got more cheddar than before. Sheesh... They see the Ps when I rock Veratti jeans and they pristine. I'm just chasing a dream. It's like a marathon run got guys tryna win. But I'm the one who won't run outta steam. I'm like a kettle on its base. They left me sitting in the cold, I flipped the switch on this game now the heat can't be contained. Release me from concealment so I can show the world my name. I plan to be an inspiration. I'm like a lilac flame. You can't tame the talent from within. This kid's amazing. An understatement is you saying I ain't amazing. But you just wait and see we'll soon be on TV, CDs for your car when it's raining and you're going far on the roads... Take flight and flight for a dream To break the matrix You gotta make it real The thought of making the top is surreal Don't lose the hope Don't lose the will Cos I'll make it to the top Just stick around and see what's coming Take flight and flight for a dream To break the matrix You gotta make it real The thought of making the top is surreal Oooh... Oh yeah! This kid's amazing. I chase what I believe in. This kid's amazing. I plan to be an inspiration. This kid's amazing. I chase what I believe in. Oooh... Oh yeah! Look! Listen! I don't need a reason cos I chase what I believe in. That's good enough for me and see it's only the start. There's more to show, to do, we go towards this dream. This dream that I have means I don't get sleep much. Going towards big things, want big rings and bling. But that's some pricey accessories. Won't buy an item if I can't afford the same one twice, ain't one buy if I can't buy more than one of that price... Oooh... Oh yeah! The government enforces submissive attitudes upon the proletariat population with consumerist propaganda. They will say TWELVE NEW FLAVOURS will be released, and the masses will come running...

I'm writing my notes at 20 to 3 Wondering what else will happen to me Trying to figure out what I could Turn to a melody Did you ever see the time Slowing down or slipping by? Turning inside out until Life becomes a dream This is the section The perfect connection The new direction To get some attention My protection I might have to mention The section is needed Before I can start the next one The next section The part I question Offers no affection The imperfection The first section is needed Before I can carry on Standing in rest city Standing in rest city Waiting for the next note to happen Standing in rest city For there is nothing to say I speak but expect the Voice to be someone else's Not really expecting to hear My own voice today. This is the section The perfect connection The new direction To get some attention My protection I might have to mention The section is needed Before I can start the next one The next section The part I question Offers no affection The imperfection The first section is needed Before I can carry on This is the section The perfect connection The new direction To get some attention My protection I might have to mention That I can't really start The next section The part I question Offers no affection The imperfection Til I reach completion Of the first section So I can't carry on Carry on And sometimes that can be quite scary And sometimes that can be quite scary When you're standing next to me This is the section The perfect connection The new direction To get some attention My protection I might have to mention The section is needed Before I can start the next one The next section The part I question Offers no affection The imperfection Til I reach completion Of the first section So I can't carry on This is the section My hyper fixation Procrastination Overcorrection Skewed perception Of the yet to come New sections The next section Doesn't exist The next section Doesn't exist The next section Doesn't exist The next section

Floating lifelessly around my room Spaced out and counting stars I feel I'm coming closer to the moon I need dragging down Running head against the wind Legs drag farther behind Raging music in my head Thoughts drowned out by the sound Reaching out losing touch... I see your face through mist and clouds The look you used to give And I drown deeper in my lucid world No fear of crashing down To the open fields and clear blue sky My mind returns to paradise The fresh spring air still gets me high No drug could take me there Running head against the wind Legs drag farther behind Raging music in my head Thoughts drowned out by the sound Losing myself once again doesn't stop Never does Reaching out losing touch... I see your face through mist and clouds The look you used to give And I drown deeper in my lucid world No fear of crashing down I just can't wait to wake up Trapped inside my mind And I drown deeper in my lucid world Comfort hard to find...

I'm just tryna build and make it to the top. It's me v the rest. You'd think I'm at high altitude the way there's pain in my chest. It's stress but I can't stop. Can't interrupt successes of mine. It's a battle in this jungle but I'm swinging vine to vine. I'm swinging if they try to push me down in life, it's tough. Trust. I gotta find a balance in my life, cos I don't have a plan in my life, every minute it's getting tougher than before. Need to open doors and right now it's all locked I got combination codes in my heart hard to unlock even my mind and thoughts are blocked. Evil peeps, evil peeps will have you shocked! I've clocked that it's only me who's really got me, look my aura's strong strong but it doesn't mean I'm cocky. I'm walking with my chest up high to lift my body, when they try to bring me down I'm lifting my chest again. Pushing weights. Why? To bigging my chest again you can't stop it walk out topless just to show my chest again. Yes, I speak my chest. Holding my chest when times are tough. And when you've had enough let your chest lift you up. Trust. (Trusssssst...) Survival of the fittest for only the fits win hold your own through the nonsense... Keep yer head up! My mad bars, bigger than life I wake the dead up. Chhhh! Spitting by the minute if there's a problem then I fix it, being persistent ain't easy. And if I'm winning then it's big and the crews doing bits no handouts or taking lift. We're building brick by bit. Been a hustle since a kid for sure. Life's too short. There's a need to explore more. I've got a greed for making more Ps, wasn't there no care when we got no sleep had no Ps. I'm talking bout no electricity, and it's cold. I was feeling all alone. I did this on my own. Also cheap, in the way I spent my Ps. Inflation is a struggle, I swear everything's a hustle and if you've gotta fight for your rights, then it's gonna be a rumble. Cos I won't back down even if you're scared. I won't back down even if I'm scared. Chhhh! Keep yer head up! One chance to do you so you should never care. I won't back down even if you're scared if I'm scared one chance to do, you should never care. This the book of life. One big book of life from the beginning of time my ancestors, winners. And I'm the same and through the pain and through the mist and winds and waves of rain I won't quit, I've got a gift and that's to spit. This the book of life. One big book of life from the beginning of time my ancestors, winners. And I'm the same and through the pain and through the mist and winds and waves of rain I won't quit, I've got a gift and that's to spit. I can't let it go to waste won't won't won't let it go to waste. This the book of life. One big book of life from the beginning of time my ancestors, winners. Dude, nothing good lasts forever. But there's a time now for you to be what you wanna be. When I say I'll make it, I'm not like these wannabes. I wanna be an inspiration, that's something that I wanna be. Man, I'm sick of waiting so it's gotta be now. I'll show 'em I'm king. I'm impatient, give me my crown, I'm doing my thing. It's rough but I'll make it. I have to make it. If only they knew the struggle. Paying rent with the little money left, mummy working 9-5 so we could have a bed to rest. When I was born I slept on that left draw just behind the desk and that's before life hit me left. And I felt stressed. Feel like I tried my best, but I'm still a mess. But I won't give in yet, keep on living, lifting up my head. True. Cos I will do what it takes to make the cake. I'm forgetting dough. I need to know I've been paid. Have you ever been so low but you gotta find a way cos you got little bros that you'd do anything for. Man, these streets are cold! I'm coming from a jungle where we gotta eat, feed off the weak. It's peak but it's the truth. There's no capping in the booth. I know a couple of yutes for them rapping is a passion. And if it don't work they might switch to the trap ting. It's a mad ting. When I flow, I'm actually keeping it real. For real... Keep yer head up! This the book of life. One big book of life from the beginning of time my ancestors, winners. And I'm the same and through the pain and through the mist and winds and waves of rain I won't quit, I've got a gift and that's to spit. This the book of life. One big book of life from the beginning of time my ancestors, winners. Dude, nothing good lasts forever...
