[Verse 1 - Cairo]
A solitary verse to reverse this pain and unrest
I'm probably set to burst and these words ain't even done yet
Insecure about my chances so tempted to play it safe
And I can see that irony staring me in my face
I stand 6 feet tall but stand it History? I wonder?
Cuz nothing really matters when I'm 6 feet under
Question fake truths and all of these fake lies
And after 19 years, I finally realise...
Life is only precious cuz it ends
I do this for the anarchy my family and friends
And every single fan of me the dream is for the deal
Or do it independent keep the money with the real
The people who supported me and pushed me through the doubt
And they knew who they are so I don't need to shout em out
People criticise until they recognise the sk**
The lyrics that I'm repping are a weapon and can k**
It took me many years to go for it and just commit
To gamble on this game and do my best to go legit
Yeah I'll take a risk and maybe not follow the crowd
But I don't wanna wallow when I'm chilling in the clouds
If that's even a thing but that's a whole ‘nother debate
My existential energy could fill me up with hate
But I don't need those feelings they don't help my soul survive
I dream of something bigger when I go and close my eyes...
[Verse 2 - Kanza]
Open my eyes I realised I'm sleeping
Dreaming that good dream, what if I got a gig this weekend
Take your head out the pillow, don't let your mind get weakened
I know I talk bout protest and hate, but ill be chilling and billing, yeah I procrastinate
And I'm forecasting paper, while my fam and my friends are still tryna wake me
I gotta be getting mines, when soccer mums mistake me
For rap legends the greats like 2Pac, Nas and Jay-z
Don't be complacent I ain't gon' stop chasing
Till a names on the charts that represent my crew and the things we did to school
Father forgive me, I done done many sins, many things
But I pray, that my sound, for the these young n***as can be medicine
Everything that I ever thought about in song have a crowd turning out
And you know it...
