47 11 lyrics - Zayn
The goal
If you want to use this terminology like that
The goal is, uh, is missed
The goal is yourself without a goal
'Bout to hit you with some shit that these motherfuckers don't know
Said, "fuck it" to the promo, I ain't sinking Titanic
Bitch, I built this whole boat, this is no joke
'Bout to hit the guards, what these motherfuckers don't know
Yo, chill out, get the spliff out
Caught me with my dick out
I'm about to spit some shit now
Put this on the list, I'm about to write the script
While I'm floating you're a blip
Man, I call this song a diss
You're among the best I am uncontest, not impressed, guest
On your song bigger than you can
Pull the trigger, gun, James Bond
I been moving like I've done
Now you seem pulling cons like a pro
Said they couldn't see it now you know
I've been focused on the crap since it broke
Put these rappers on a chokehold
Going corner till they broke toes
You're a goner, bro, we both know, these are my goals
At the end, like dry combs, we ain't friends, homes
You could never call my ends home
The bad bones, I ain't John Doe
Double meanings, like it's J Cole
Sick and tired of the same old in my feelings, I'mma let go
Feels like a season 'till we get old
See you reachin' on the debt, though
Willy Wonka, Johnny Depp flow
Silly wanker, Imma vet so
Be quiet, papa said so
Call me "Zaddy" on my dad flow
Nice silent, why you mad though, like a bad joke
It don't land like my grandad when he came from Pakistan
On foreign land don't understand
My simple plan was not to stand for the simple man
I'm complex, unlike my sex
And what's the chance that axes and spinning
Are part of the plan since beginning
Got asked these thoughts, your brain spinning
You thought sinning was something else
Can't help yourself like Santa's elf
My mental health reaching God level
I don't mean I'm a God
But 47 and 11 greets me on all levels
Yellow metal trynna tell you something it's not settled
This old kettle reachin' boiling point
Contribute your voice
Tonight chop it off and cauterise
Heard your noise, implore the effort
Your fans deserve the credit, surely deafened
Ain't even a close second on in all seconds
I'm a force to be reckoned with
And I don't even give a shit
Have you learned your lesson? Class in session is no test
And we ain't testing them, you're stuck with no progression
Assessin 'em, obsessing over nothin'
I see 'em clowning like Krusty, no rust
Imma steal, I'm finessing in a slow sesh
This sauceless [?], hopeless
And get your feelings hurt less
In a deep sea like Loch Ness
Remoteness but I control it, I'm on my own
That's why it's my own world
Montana, put a hole in the ground for the tub
My man is Chaka Khan, beat it up
Me and Dan put a spanner in the works
All you needed was a vibe
But Imma give you more than what you need
All you needed was a vibe
But Imma give you more than what you need
All you needed was a vibe
But Imma give you more than what you need
Imma give you more than what you need
A Whole New World (End Title) lyrics - ZAYN & Zhavia Ward
(from "Aladdin" soundtrack)
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us "no"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us "no"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
(Every turn, a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Every moment, red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That's where we'll be
(That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
(A wondrous place)
For you and me
Allah Duhai Hai lyrics - Zayn
(originally from "Race 3" soundtrack)
Tera tha main tera hi main har dafa
Tujhi pe mita hoon hun kari na tabaah
Hai aata maza ishq mein tabhi
Beparwah hoke tu bhi hoja mujhpe tabaah
Jhoothi mohabbat teri zaroorat
Badi zaleel sataana wah teri adaa
Nasha… tera…
Nasha… nashila nashila hai
Allah duhai hai
Phir bewafai hai
Mushqil rihaai hai
Haan tere pyar mein
Allah duhai hai
Phir bewafai hai
Mushqil rihaai hai
Haan tere pyar mein
Kaise main maanu jo ye dil de raha gawahi
Teri farebi aankhon se bachaye illahi
Masoom chehre mein chhupa ek hi raaz hai
Race meri saanson ki le aayegi tabahi
Sukoon bhi tu
Nasha bhi tu
Hai shauq bhi mera
Hai sir pe chadha junoon hai tera
Sukoon bhi tu
Nasha bhi tu
Hai shauq bhi mera
Hai sir pe chadha junoon hai tera
Nasha… tera…
Nasha… nashila nashila hai
Allah duhai hai

Haan tere pyaar mein

Phir bewafaayi hai
Mushkil rihaai hai
Haan tere pyaar mein
[English translation:]
I was yours, I was yours every time
I've fallen for you, don't ruin me now
There is the fire in love
Only when you fall badly for me as well
Fake love is what you need
You tease me with your coquetry
Your addiction…
Your addiction is intoxicating
Oh God why this injustice
It's infidelity again
It's difficult to get a release
From your love
Oh God why this injustice
It's infidelity again
It's difficult to get a release
From your love
How could I believe what your heart says
May God save from your seductive eyes
There is secret hidden in your innocent face
Race of my breaths will bring devastation
You are relaxation
You are addiction
You too are my passion
Your obsession is on my head
You are relaxation
You are addiction
You too are my passion
Your obsession is on my head
Your addiction
Your addiction is intoxicating
Oh God why this injustice
It's infidelity again
It's difficult to get a release
From your love
Oh God why this injustice
It's infidelity again
It's difficult to get a release
From your love
Oh God…
Oh God why this injustice
It's infidelity again
It's difficult to get a release
From your love
Oh God why this injustice
It's infidelity again
It's difficult to get a release
From your love
Bed Peace lyrics - Zayn
(originally by Jhene Aiko)
Wake up, wake up
Gotta get this paper, get this cake up
Gotta do her hair, gotta put on makeup
Gotta act like I care about that fake stuff
Straight up what a waste of my day
If I had it my way I'd roll out of bed
Say bout 2:30 mid day
Hit the blunt then, hit you up to come over to my place
You show up right away
We make love and then we fuck
And then you'd give me my space
What I am trying to say is
That love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait (Everything else can wait)
The time is ours to take so we should take it
Wake up, wake up, bake up
Gotta heat the vape up
Lets get faded
Gotta call your job tell em' you won't make it
Ain't nobody here baby lets get wasted
We should just get naked
Cause I be working hard and I know you be on that same shit
Every other day's a different game that you just can't win
I just want to ease your mind and make you feel all right
So you gin' be my baby mama, you gon be with me tonight
What I am trying to say is
That love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
(Everything else can wait)
The time is ours to take so we should take it
It's not love, but it's pretty close
Hot fudge and a little smoke
I didn't mean it means nothing to you
Hands locked on my black couch with nothing to do
Can't stop on cloud 20
Buried in the drugs, but the feels keeps coming
Finally stop crying, but your nose is still running
Wipe it on my shirt, on my sleeve
You tell me that you wanna do it big
I love it when you say "guess what?"
Doin' all your fucked up shit
And I wonder why I'm all messed up
Cause we gotta be responsible sometimes
Being a class act nevermind my alumni
I don't wanna be around a baby so dumb high
That I don't see the beauty of a momma on insides
Curled up with my head on your chest
It's the best remedy for the pain and the stress
If the world doesn't change then we'll never get dressed
It will be like this to the kiss of the death
Of my soul, bowl of the blue dream, no
Not a good team, once soul, two halves
No joke, who laughs? Just us
Okay, got this OJ and Jose
Mixed it up with that Rose
We gon' do this our own way
Alright, okay
What is it that you're smoking?
Piece it up with this peace and love
And this peace and love like the old days
What I am trying to say is
That love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it
Stay right here with ya
Lay right here with ya
Cause everything is okay right here
You should stay right here
We should lay right here, oh
Cause everything is okay right here
Believe Me lyrics - Zayn
No remedies, but life lessons to melodies
Sweet science like chemistry, televise this energy
Can't describe four letters be the threat of these
Don't mean to get too deep, but I'm working on better me
Got some ends I gotta meet, left 'em in awe
Ain't got nothing to offer me that I ain't seen before
Been building up rapport since before we were poor
I've seen a horn now appearing like you open your jaw
The black hole I've been feeding has just opened the door
Left me floating in abyss, I'm a poet 'cause I see things before they exist
I'm an icon without sequins, I'm setting the trends
Got no pals that are famous, I stuck with my friends
My day ones with my Nikes on in the right zone
Is this flight long? Coming back home
Runnin' backwards instead of forward
Me, I'm feeling grown since I had my daughter
Now, I had to change my goals and become a father
And I learned this on my own, this is the life I chose
Won't become my father, run from my genes in jeans
I'm getting farther from being mean for the unseen
I tell myself that I choose these, don't choose me
Constant contact with insanity since I've been born
Supremacy flawed 'cause you're my enemy
I'm too close for comfort, like Holyfield Belfort
They're all fightin' for an Oscar
Something wrong with your brain, man
Think you need a doctor, see through you like an actor
I hear fakeness in your laughter
Fuck skipping a page, I'mma skip your whole chapter
Ain't a day that I've aged while I'm spotting the frauds
Unreal like fuck, luck concealed, improved more
Strength in my own core 'til I feel like eyeing up the beanstalk
We're gonna kill the giants 'cause I'm reliant on my talent
Not about the items, fuck the queen, she got knight
I'm for the violence when you write at majesties
All you get is silence, writing letters here in biro
I can't wait to get my gyro, cut your bitter foam off the styro
I just hit another hood slipping Tyrone
Man like Thanos trying to balance on the tightrope
Glad we left the cycles, I'm just focused on the cyclone
I'm a wolf, a were like Lycan, the bars and me are writing
With no bars I'm free like titans, just the beast, and boy I'm fightin'
All my feelings heightened, all I see is vital, the me recital
Don't need revival, don't need an idol, I beat the cyclone
No bike and I'm still riding the beat smiling
We movin' through the shit, can't we?
We groovin' through the mist
Do you believe, love?
No secret they're not humble, here's a spell of words
Dumbledore, mumble more on a short verse
Stop the search 'cause I found what they're looking for first
Clutch you're purse, I'mma rob you for the thirst
I'll have more swagger in a hearse, praying at church
Saying it first, staying at work, living a blur
Knowing my worth, yeah, I'mma flirt with the idea
Your shit don't fly here, top tier only accepted, no disrespect
We're just separate sex and dissection
Intellectual difference intercept on these Simpsons
Felt primitive like the flintstones and monophonic ringtones
Like sonic in the blue zone
Frankly, I'm going free roam like it's GTA with a time limit
Got an ETA, I'mma kill it like I'm sinning
We don't need the praise, raise the prey
Still I'm brave to face the fears of shitter days
Fuck the puss, I played the game, I got the bars
So, fuck the fame, like a hammer when I MC, can't touch the name
Can't Help Falling In Love lyrics - Zayn
(originally by Elvis Presley)
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
For I can't help falling
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
I've been falling for you, baby
I, I can' help falling
I just can't help falling in love
I, I can' help falling
I just can't help falling in love
I just can't help falling in love
I just can't help falling in love
Don't Matter (Remix) lyrics - August Alsina x ZAYN
[August Alsina:]
When we put in the work, it's gon' be a long night
Come by where you live, won't take no time
When I'm all in the middle, where you wanna go now?
We could bring it up top, tell me what's on your mind
I be knocking down the walls every time you make that call
You be changing all your plans, but you're callin' me your man
You got something I can feel, baby, girl, it's been so long
I been, I been having withdrawals, I been having withdrawals
Yeah, wouldn't you know it, tell me if you know this
I've been doing good (I've been doing good)
We got it all, baby, right all my wrongs, baby
Loving you so good (loving you so good, yeah)
I don't know how to feel when I'm close to you
Late nights holding you, laid my eyes on you
I'm gon' ride for you (oh yeah)
When I'm close to you, late nights holding you
We ain't got all day, don't really care what they say
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
Nah, it don't matter to me, nah, nah
[ZAYN:]
It don't matter to me
I bring the sand to the beach
Dive in the ocean, we rocking' the boat
Girl, you look like Aaliyah to me yeah
One in a million, you're one of a kind
Baby you blowing, you're blowing my mind
All of my neighbors they wanna know why (know why)
[August Alsina & ZAYN:]
I be knocking down them walls every time you make that call
You be changing all your plans, but you're callin' me your man
You got something I can feel, baby girl, it's been so long
I been, I been having withdrawals, I been having withdrawals
Yeah, wouldn't you know it, tell me if you know this
I've been doing good (I've been doing good)
We got it all, baby, right all my wrongs, baby
Loving you so good (loving you so good)
[August Alsina:]
I don't know how to feel when I'm close to you
Late nights holding you, laid my eyes on you
I'm gon' ride for you (oh yeah)
When I'm close to you, late nights holding you
We ain't got all day, don't really care what they say
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me
Nah, it don't matter to me, nah, nah
Flames lyrics - R3HAB & ZAYN (feat. Jungleboi)
Well, well, you better run from me
You better hit the road
You better up and leave
Don't get too close
'Cause I'm a rolling stone
And I keep rolling on
You better run from me
Before I take your soul
If I go, let me go
Don't you follow me, let me go
I will let you down, let me go
Even if your heart can't take it light me up in flames
Light me up in
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up
You better run from me
You better say goodbye
And even if I plead
Don't waste your time
'Cause I'm a broken home
You're better off alone
You better run from me
Before I take your soul
If I go, let me go
Don't you follow me, let me go
I will let you down, let me go
Even if your heart can't take it light me up in flames
Light me up in
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up in flames
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up in flames
Grimez lyrics - Zayn
Thief time with a ratpack
Samurai gonna Jack that
Got the goods on me like a backpack
Pioneer hybrid force like an inside Prius
Come with a deal like an in-flight meal
Can't take my shine 'cause I implied real
No replies, say my face ideal
Feeling like I'm spaced out an MJ deal
Me, I got the gem on my own work real
Me, I'm trynna murk 'til my own fate's sealed
Got a big mouth, I'm like Kadoh
Green team coming through like K.O
Bruce Lee, drop kick 'em to the face
Move booky, saving the rupees
One time for the Sufis
Who bop strings like blue cheese?
I'm here for the group meet
Pass the tree gonna grow like group me
Found my own kind of route 'til it suits me
Like we live in the movies
Nowadays bitches are bougie
Ice queen coulda fooled me
I scream but it feels like they're roofied
No brain gonna freeze on a hill like Fugees
I don't need your interest, yeah
I don't need your interest, yeah
I don't need your interest, yeah
On social media
Hercules, still lookin' for the Zeus me
Hades tried but he never did phase me
Murked this twice so I put in a statement
Don't need time but I'm needing the patience
Animations, living real life on occasion
Gone through space like I'm phasing
Is it wrong to assume you're amazing?
When you know you belong in a place
And stood on stage
Heart racing never felt wrong
Ain't up for debating
Not adjacent
'Cause I'm killing these dickers like I'm Jason
Grilling these peeps like I'm Jacko
Killer [?] want 'em back home
On a plateau
Lucked out like lotto
Got body to the punch like potto (Hadouken)
[?] motto
Once a year drop gifts like the grotto
Knock on the door and they're not home
I put the ball in the putt hole
On the green and I'm subtle
Mind on a hustle
Skin full of kush while they float in a bubble
Cousins might have double a dozen
Some of 'em young still cute as a button
Telling you now man focus on something
I did this myself
Coming from nothing
Putting a foot in the door
We can do more
If they don't believe it
Just leave them ashore
Livin' abroad
Lovin' my broad
Internation's still broad
In another nation
Back 'cause I'm bored
And my back getting broad
Me, I'm on a spaceship
'Cause I need space to make the next shift
Me, I'm on some next shit
Built different, linguistics
Intrinsic in my being
Words glowing like they're neon scene
In the Matrix on some fake shit
I'm just neo
Ain't afraid of small print
Always looking through the keyhole
I won't make this about you
No disrespect to Ne-yo
What a fucked up generation
Got me wrong I see it blatant
Ain't another with the cadence
Or the pen back home
Read between the lines
Like you scanned bar codes
Ran out all the miles
On this martian-less globe
I'm just ET on my BT
I'm just trying to phone home
Off of this planet
Wish they could ban it
My mission can't man it
Doin' them damage
'Cause I am outstanding
Don't be a G and get battered in manny
You ain't a G man, you is a fanny
You couldn't manage
This weight on your shoulders
'Cause I am a savage
Leading the trag on
It's still in a pattern
I'm owning the patent
Put this into motion like rings onto Saturn
Standing here batting like Brian Lara
Getting lost like Lara Croft
Feeling top heavy, sayonara
Saying nada
Feeling like Super Zayn 'cause I'm going harder
Let it fade like we in the barber
Going Yorkshire like a martyr
Paint a pic 'cause I'm still an artist
Fuck Kanye, beat him farting
Call Leo 'cause we departing
Like a lion but I put the heart in
No case and its free ain't charging
Top tier because we set the margin
Cue the booze we ain't here to lose
Ain't in the box but I got the moves
Tuned into the TV
Yeah we got the news
Yeah, yeah, yeah we got the news
You have got to lose
What I've got to lose
Prescribe me like I'm Dr. Who
Imma shock the yutes
Kind Of Love lyrics - Zayn
Tell me where your car's at
Do you wanna drive home
I could drive ya
Is it the one with the light on
On the third floor
With your heart, on the window
I don't need nothing from you
I got everything I need
Right here, it's right here
Don't take it the wrong way
But this is a, different, kind of love
Don't take it the wrong way
But this is a, different, kind of love
Different kind of love... ooh...
Different, different, kind of love, kind of love
Different kind of love... ooh...
Different, this is a, different
Kind of love
Never play ya
Hide in, your apartment
Take your clothes off leave 'em there
On the pile of the towels
Don't take it the wrong way
But this is a, different, kind of love
Don't take it the wrong way
But this is a, different, kind of love
Different kind of love... ooh...
Different, different, kind of love, kind of love
Different kind of love... ooh...
Different, this is a, different
Kind of love
Do you feel what I feel, does it feel right
Let you up, light you up
Like a street light
And there ain't nothing artificial
If you're really mine, really mine
Do you feel what I feel, does it feel right
Let you up, light you up
Like a street light
And there ain't nothing artificial
If you're really mine, really mine
Don't take it the wrong way
But this is a, different, kind of love
This is a, different, kind of love
Don't take it the wrong way
But this is a, different, kind of love
This is a, different, kind of love
Different kind of love... ooh...
Different, this is a, different, kind of love
Different kind of love... ooh...
You want me wasting no time on us, time on us
This is a different kind of love
Different kind of love
YELLOW METAL (Cathartic) lyrics - Zayn
[Part I]
Dark matter like paint splatters, they fit better
The old saying, the way it goes
"Better the devil you do than you don't know"
I hit pedals and switch levels, my heart: metal
I can't settle, I'm part trouble, and not subtle
I fuck good so fuck cuddles, burst bubbles
The dust levels at new highs
I downed doubles and got baked till I felt high
My face puzzled, felt muddled
They're far strung and your flow's wooden
The thought might but the fit wouldn't, a fortnight
And I thought right, it's all bark and there's no bite
I'm Tony Stark, still embarking on a dream
Took a bit of time to take darkness from the team
Seen what I've seen, heartless on the sleeve
Tried to burn my wings, so I put them in a piece on my chest
At peace, no rest
Flipped this on its head
Ripped the scripture up now, flip it don't intend
Slipping shit again
Fakers all around me, how they living in pretense
Fake friends, won't make amends
There's no need, these mean queens control the scenes
Attention seekers, their span is weak and it's spamming news
What the family need and the planet bleeds the damaged trees
It's never leaving till we ascend
So fuck the fence
And till they stop killing coloureds
It's fuck the feds
You must be off it, I mean it
You know you hate
Never get what you judging
I used to dread growing my beard too long
Never felt I belonged
But it's been long, like a minute
I ain't looking to no mans for lyrics
They're feeling timid
I'm telling them who they mimic
While healing them like a clinic
Confused why they get no women
Still, we're just fucking girls
Lost in the wrong world - Jurassic
Now to this vermin kicking the game, I'm serving
These losers are never learning
My fire's forever burning
Adding it to my fuel
Seems like I'm always focused on never becoming you
These locals that rob us, feeling
This slaughter is for a reason
I'm seeing my new beginnings, watch out this loser's winning
In waters too deep to swim in
Like combat I see me killing, I'm all that without a limit
Flawless and feeling lawless
They're prisoner to the gimmicks
My vision is set to summit
I'm watching you bitches plummet
No match enough for my cunning
You rappers are feeling done in
Switching your genre, running
Runnin' your jaw, stuntin'
Pulling at straws, something
I think you're a poor effort, definite
Tone-deaf and an attitude shitty separate
Living, I'm in my element, guarding it like a Sentinel
Never lose me to fentanyl, scared when I take a Benadryl
Keeping it green, in general
Think that you remain irrelevant
Look at yourself with reverence, hoping to always elevate
Celibate of these thoughts, killin' themselves with sedatives
In comparison to Eminem, you're feeling feminine
And politically correct, still dropping on my dick
And I never gave a fuck about what they say about my shit
I've been moving things in my mind like it's this mountain dew
Memories made me wonder if one day amounts you
What's the purpose that you do this
What you hopin' that they learn?
I'd like to say I'm done with this gettin' up on my nerve
I'm looking at my life, saying what do I deserve
It's hard to say I know when I'm walking through the dirt
Talking or do nothing, I can see for what it's worth
I'm tired of feeling hurt and I've tried it and nothing works
I'm racking up excuses while I'm slacking off of work
Shit chatting is the usual while talking with this clerk
I beg you don't include me, I might write it on my shirt
So that every time they see me
That they always know it's worth
Life is potent, did some fuck shit till they took notice
Weren't no hocus pocus - it was hard work that got me heard
So I put in the graft like Google Maps
Got the whole Earth
Writing rhymes into my doormat
Taking over like the Romans
Rolling dirt up on miles like the [?]
Rain exploding like [?]'s hematoma
Don't need to see a slammer to know I don't want to go
Man, I'm the showman
I'm just focused on the doorman
Leave the grill to George Foreman
What kills it [?] like I got my own insurance
Show myself up here while I boxed it in a frame
If we're about to talk greatness, I'm beyond great
You know you have to say my name like Beyonce
(Say my, say my name)
(Say my, say my, say my name)
[Part II]
Dumb, just a bum with a cigarette
Sun comin' up, all my thoughts on the Internet
Feeling deep, I'm just bored with the silhouette
Single sec, get fucked up for the thrill of it
Kill a streak playing Pac Man
Like I came from the Philippines
Vanilla beans, still a thing
For the thrill of seen
Facility, there's a beam
You may fall, leave it well alone
Ain't moving, stood still on a Peleton
Telephone, and it's always on the dial tone
It's been a while since I've smiled at a milestone
Seen a big pile in my mind, stone
Me against the world on my Jack Jones
Like I'm John Jones with the bitches in the condor
Far from John Doe
In the [?] like I'm Johnny Bravo
Got bravado with your small dick
Sittin' in [?]
Stealin' Five Gum 'cause that last hit
Was that good shit, was that stained lip
You can never take my shit
Come and get me if you bailiffs
On the top floor, cloud 9, fadin'
Never bailing, felt amazing
Inhaling, till my lungs two guns blazing
Overcome all the stunts that I pulled
A suit of just skin and then woah
This life it don't give you no armour
A lot of myself that can harm ya'
I swear on what's good, that I'm here 'til they take me
I pray that I'm wrinkled, at least over eighty
Started movin' like a ruler
Damn [?], gold bars from the jeweller
Bring the songs to the beach in the hope of findin' tuna
[?]
Fucking trap, I'm killin' rappers tumors
(I wish it was a rumor)
Grab a bat, lose my rag
Couple things got me mad
Couple people got me wrong and now I'm changing up the swag
Coming in and stealing it, I might take the whole bag
Feeling undefeated, I'ma beast with a reason
I'ma lead the whole pack
Fearless like I'm Caesar, I'm just waiting for a chance
To fill it up with diesel, and all I've been achieving
Clocking miles in this region
Moving like a legion
Promise that I made to myself, an allegiance
Do you still believe I'm a fool for ever leaving?
Staring at the ceiling, can never put a cap on achieving
I'm just here for the rap, then I'm leaving
I've had about enough of being my own enemy
It's time I grew up, a long way from seventeen
Always went against the grain, struggles in my life
Got some things to say when I stand up on a mic
I ain't dropping this for fame, I need this time like therapy
It's just to keep me sane
The truth is you're my medicine, can't put that on your plate
Speeding into everything, 'bout time I fixed the brakes
Don't say I can't communicate
You know I conversate with you in several different ways
And I know you know it's reverence, I'm looking at your face
Can't justify mistakes, like every man that made them, seems I ain't the one to blame
Lying to myself, only had so much to gain
So now I'm switching up the play
See if that affects the place I'm at and lost to this
I ain't going with the usual so they looking at me strange
Confused, and I can feel it all
I'm here to make the change
It's cold at 3 A.M. outside, I'm walking with the dog
Thanking god that you don't talk at all, my mind is switching off
Driving time to find myself, 'cause I've been getting lost
Lived a selfish life and said that I can't give a toss
Lessons that I've learned I've tried teachin' to myself
What I've learnt from certain people is that they're better than myself
So I surround myself with real ones, and you feel the plastic melt
Like burning toy soldiers that used to go up on the shelf
Recycled ideas, conveying on the belt
Mind stuck in the circus, always hurting how we felt
Embarrassed that we dreamt of bigger things, with this relent
And letting go with notions till we feel the means cement
Tired of only hoping, we feel like broken men
'Cause the gravity is weight, and it's kept us to the ground
See the only people speaking, ones with favours in their mouths
Gun killer, rhyme-zilla, no fillers like Godzilla
Eating clouds 'cause my smoke's thicker
Throat liqueur, my dope sicker
Bringing people they hope like I'm the pork slicker
I hope you getting the point because I won't bicker
I thought my city was shit because I want bigger
Like my zipper couldn't zip up
Fed up with the lip
[?], my love is fickle
Constitual age has a primitive face
I see demise for your limited ways
Left it to simmer, similar ways
A straight pillar with fake glimmer in their heads
Feeling trapped, this industry is a cage
[Part III]
Nobody's speaking the truth
I'm offended by the State
Look at the state of the news
Undecided the argument
Reciting my views while they're inciting the hate
I'm feeling pressured to choose
Standing here as one man
How can I do half when you're half the person I am
If it wasn't in your life, you didn't choose it
It's the funny thing about music
It's the pain and beauty of it
Don't give a fuck what my suit is, it looks good so I wear it
Better than the shit that people's wearing
Changing the whole narrative for these basics, it's scary
See, I've been facing the racists from back when I were a kiddie
Growin' up in 93', living in Bradford City
They kicked me out of the schools
Said I had a problem with hittin' the kids that would call me paki
Still sittin' in classroom chillin'
I'm angry now that I'm older 'cause I see they treat us different
Got me thinking I'm the problem 'cause they never dealt with these issues
Twenty years later, I'm still in the same boat
Tryna treat me like my grandpa, say I came up off the boat
Came to tell you what I stand for, man I think this shit's a joke
How can I be civil when they've got me by the throat
Pushing my feelings down, you ain't got it like them
"Boy your skin is so light"
Okay motherfucker, take my name up on a flight
And try to convince immigration that your bloodline's half white
I don't know how that's acceptable
When life is more susceptible to perception, be the death of them
I've been looking at the sky saying where's that day of reckoning?
You had your prophets right when they said that you would speak to them
I needed justice in this life, and I will trust that it's my fight
'Cause when I'm writing it feel right to have them focused on the facts again
Focused on the rap again, hoping for the change
Gonna put this on the map again
Writin' in all caps again
The pain, it goes through me so I write the letter
All the shit that could have broke me, but made me better
[?]
I'm at home with a pain in my soul
Yeah, 'cause that home ain't it
'Cause you know I been too real to contest it
My time was invested
Now I look upon the industry, I see it infested
Looking like kids who would grab up a Nesquik
My name ain't on the list unless they label it "ethnic"
I ain't never gave a fuck about these jokers and jesters
Ain't no answers for those things, so just save us the questions
Man all out of of violence, 'cause my silence is deafening
Your opinion stinks, somebody get 'em a breath mint
Start to understand why they think that I'm threatening
I move in certain ways, couldn't slow me with ketamine
Now they all wanna hear me, got a table at Letterman
Direction changed, like I changed up the lettering
Don't believe the age, because I move like a veteran
Raised on the benefit for whose benefit?
They'll never learn shit, man, if the shoe fits
[?]
No one's gunna know, before you open your mouth
And to be honest, it's insulting
Offensive to my wounds they're rubbin' salt in
Tryna ask me questions that they know I never answer
I'd rather sit online and reply to the fan art
Fuck a sports car, coming through in a raptor
Tell you what I like, farm life on the tractor
Fake life, 'sup online, suck a fat one
You don't wanna buy into that, none of that, son
Sitting in the garden, '98 in the Datsun
Seen some hot summers, but I still remember that sun
[Part IV]
I make millions off of my pain
'Cause I know a few millions still living that way
Dealing with the hurt, that they should know they don't deserve
It hit deep, 'cause I hit the nerve
Only way that the sheep learn with the street
Firm in my ways, I don't want to change
Everything should stay the same
Who you trying to convince, you understand?
Can't maintain, let the lights dim
Some' get the Chow Mein, flex, get the tape right
Up at night, while these men be mice to my face be nice
I ain't trying to be a gangster, it ruins my vibe
Rather stay lowkey and on my phone, B
Never need the trophy or the showpiece
Never show peace in the North Face fleece
Showcase this like a goat, might flip
'Cause the sign might fit to the start, I'm sick
Now you see where I come from
The raw dump
Only achievement in life is the Jordans
Committing petty crimes out of boredom
Can't afford em', so I stole it
See the Rolex on door, let go
It don't make sense just to get yourself a job
It's a poor man's game, trying to sit and pray to God
He ain't sorting all your problems, got to sort them out yourself
Used to tell us fables, now I'm writing them myself
'Cause we roar like animals, we all just need some help
Cathartic, I'm an artist, trying to put my heart in
Felt double crossed like Leo in Departed
For the knowledge, I'm not charging, see I've got it all free
But my hunger kept me starving like I'm fiending for the feed
I just need a reason, see me bleeding for my Creed
Tricky with the words like I keep them up my sleeve
Picking where I fit, I see me sitting with the queen
I ain't doing it unless you're used to saying please
Let me flow a bit, before I sting 'em with the bees
They're tryna kill us with disease
Why does it feel like they have the same notebook
And the same four looks
Like the rain won't touch on their face, so sus when they lie
Don't, trust not a minor
Plus, no fuss
I just move through the game like must
Something in my way, I adjust
'Til I take free form, like the shape
Freefall, 'til I bust
Remember '21, brother gave no fucks
Tryna project when they gave them looks
In the projects, and the object's us
In my own way, never gave me love
Should have never started this, broken-hearted kid
Jarred of the feelings, 'til I stole the lick
Don't want to relish in the pain, but I can't resist
I like the way we feel
I like the way, I like the way
[Part V]
[?]
Make no mistake I'm [?]
I ain't tryna be a leader, been selling out since Jesus
All my rhymes are for the readers, between the lines
Like Father time, I fuck with Mother Nature
That's what they get, the connotations
Tell 'em I lived a life
And then I lived a life adjacent like it's [?] and played it patient
Alone on my own spaceship, always tryna find greatness
Still defying lines, but I'm fighting in my prime
Shining light like Kylo while I'ma kill it all the time
Aging like I'm wine
Aging in my face, but still my race you can't define
Focused on defiance, I'ma fight it while it's life
Started something sick and on my mind is what's next
Just became a dad now so I'm taking all the cheques
Better know I'm staying and paying like it's debt
I'ma get it done, if it's taking all my breath
Swear down, I ain't messing around till I'm the best
Speaking in full sentences
Should'a thought about a strategy before you went in the stratosphere, better this
One of the rings around Saturn, this ain't about [?]
Casually doing magic [?]
I feel you could use some practice
Until that, you get the blacklist
Not built like a zealous actress
Foolin' them like a catfish, schoolin' them like a legend
Happy to be the reference
[?] like a iridescent, leavin' 'em all guessing
Leaking out of my brain like a pipe I ain't fixin'
Shining like a star, you can see it from a distance
Ain't many of me around, paki, I'm just different
Certain stages to this level and ain't here because of favors to the devil
Fuck a label, I'ma do this from the ghetto
Clean up like I'm Dettol
I'm romantic, put the bet on sight, smart like a weapon
This is my kind of setting
I write the world I'm sat in while these others live on hype
I see know fight in how they type
The fruit is ripe for the taking, I think I might
Let me take you away from here
Let me take you away from here
Let me take you away from here
[Part VI]
Eccentric things I mention, like a kid stuck in detention tryna escape
I'm just spittin' what is written on the next page
Spittin' image of my dad in his young days
Born sinner, when I'm livid I say, "fuck's sake"
Done runnin', I'm too cunning with no plumbing
The water works, I sung something that resonates
I thought it first, like giving birth to the parrot perch
They see me do it and they know it works
Don't know what's worse
The way that you live your life, or the way that you write a verse
Shouldn't be nervous, you don't deserve it
Won't scratch the surface, I leave a crater
And I lift the dirt up to find the find the hurtin'
Can't know for certain, nothin' is guaranteed
Tryin' to be a better person than the world deserves to see
'Cause I see a lot of sharks still swimming in the sea
Cease and arrest, what's the reason? It's theft
Are these the kind of kids that we're bringing up next?
Distorted reality, all they needed was family
Too out of their face to see what the damage is
I don't want to be, I want to be
A part of this, no
I don't want to be, I don't want to be
A part of this
Sometimes they ask the questions, too deep to form a sentence
To this form, is this the norm?
Is this the sentence?
I feel defenseless
I played the setlist so long my sweat, blood, and tears
Forgot to mention
Feelin' lost, goin' off into different sections
I feel like love wrecked it
If it's not a drug why am I waiting for the next fix, affected
Can't believe that you left this
I guess I leave with a best wish
Movin' on like next, I'm fine for the lectures
We see all full spectrum
'Cause if we're fallin' down, we can fall down together
Staircase to heaven, mirror down the middle like 11
Resentment on one side, it won't settle
Mind fried, but talking sense
They ain't got a sense of themself in them rich ends
Need to spell it out for the dickheads
I'm here for this, so witness
I know you feel afflicted, but you always love it Whitney
While I'm laughing at you, you think you're laughing with me
I try to pull up, but I've grown so they don't fit me
My body flown from this new to this old city
I'm sick of sitting on my own, feeling so shitty
I've been on roads where it's cold and the snow hittin'
It's okay to be yourself, sittin' talkin' to myself
I've been walkin' for longest, just need a little rest
Know I ain't the strongest, I can feel it in my chest
Talkin' 'bout my feelings and of me they get the best
They ain't leaving, see 'em breathin' in my breath
'Til death do us part, it's just seeded in my heart like a work of art
Never winning, I'm just scarred
Can't begin it from the start
Do I play a part in the rhythm of the night?
I guess I'm up to something, 'cause the dark's feelin' right
Every cloud got a lining, put my own miles in like Morales
Figured that they're jealous that they could just
Never tell us to change because the weather never made me
Question whether or not I'm at that level
Got rid of all the the bullshit sittin' in my way
Most of 'em are full of shit, I see it everyday
Are you hearing the same things that I do?
Maybe that shit's hitting like haiku
How much do you pay for them to hype you?
Recycle your flows, but they ain't like new
Leavin' them conceited and full of diesel like engines in need of cleaning
The ending will be revealing
Even though we ain't raising the facts
Now we've been facing the cactus with spikes
Needing spaces, different faces, the same story
A full body like straight voddy direct to your system
But never tell 'em we missed 'em
Not even with the thoughts we gift 'em
'Cause they just take advantage, guess we're caught in the system
My soul pouring out details of borrowed time
Had enough of a fill, this is for sorrow time
I'm seeing visions of heaven
I seen the severed line between the gospel we speak
And when they're telling lies
Remember tellin' a friend of mine, [?]
Identified like a third eye
Got a habit of knowing now where the dirt lies, so benign
I ain't sober after nine, gonna fuck their minds
Why you flippin' out, see another
Tryna rep it from the city?
Fuck a Chiller Crew, reppin' for the nittys
Tryna keep us down
Raised on the social, don't wanna let us out of the system
Me, I insist we assist them
Me alone puttin' shift 'til I lift 'em
I know it's hard, that's why I like it
I'm fit to fight it, I'm from the North
I'm backin' Tyson, it's been decided
Don't see no light, they're needing guidin'
Just be defining, realizing
I'm realigning in full finance
They say silence can be louder, I'm juiced up with no powder
I fix shit like slick spanner, I've gone green
Like Bruce Banner so "Free Gaza" on my banner
The real McCoy, I ain't nothing to toy with
Signified peace like a Japanese koi fish
How did this happen?
We're moving backwards in our timeline, killin' us with cyanide
Riot for the freedom till we transform like Ironhide
This one's 'bout my feelings
The way that I move affects the fate that I'm sealing
Can't say nothin' without somethin' being on the page
Kept inside the pen like the bars have been kept caged
See, I always had a plan since I was young, we had nothing man
Now it's been a few years since I ain't seen the fam on foreign lands
'Bout to climb Everest in the avalanche
Right into the riddles as soon as you were born
Never askin' a question, 'cause it's the norm
See, I'm on a questionin' session
Like the manner got a method to teaching a lesson
Listenin' to MF Doom, he taught me like Ra's al Ghul
Felt like livin' in Gotham, the people were rotten
Still we play cartoons so it's never forgotten
Chillin' at the top, but we came from the bottom
Writin' and jottin' for them life by spottin' the difference
[?]
They're hating on Palestine's ways
The [?] palace playing Prince on a Steinway
Sending out mind waves
Stop 'em like crime waves
Freedom fighter, Yellow Metal is my name
Like vipers I see the sly ones, the snake that's called Biden
None of 'em abiding by what they might put in writing
We should be used to it by now
Say whatever for the vote, and then just chose another route
Say they'd never kill another, unless that brother's skin is brown
I'm just tellin' you the facts, if you can't take it
The truth, naked
To bare bones, and my thoughts lately
Spittin' politics while done with it, shit just gets me vexed
And now I'm sayin' that I think of it
Feeling on the brink of it
Whatever it is
Figured out some shit, at least it feels that way
Talk about my feelings, and I don't feel so strange
Finding solace, that's a promise in Metropolis for bein' honest
Can't write a sonnet without some pain
