Show Love 02:36
(Verse 1) My whole soul is trapped inside a gaping hole of misery If I say something wrong then my existance here is history Confronted by a catastrophic scene of events I find a beat and I vent to find some peace in my zen A missing piece to this puzzle that you’re all hustling for I'm Robin Hood the way I fight the rich and rap for the poor I can't afford to fall off so high I'll die if I drop I'm losing time since I decided to take hands off the clock It's so hard being me now let me demonstrate the hate They be circulating round so now it's hard to concentrate Feel like Shady after he released his last two records People dont appreciate and fans are turning reckless Don't wanna see a difference they don't wanna see a change If you make a slight adjustment they'll be quick to turn insane Quick to slate your name and tell you that you’re not the same Or that your with illuminati if your ever reaching fame (Chorus) Stop the hate and try appreciate the movement Were just trying to progress in this life We do our best to keep you happy with our music It takes a lot no it don't happen over night (Verse 2) I'm not tryna diss my fans because I give my fans my heart But you need to understand that what I'm doing is an art I could feel a certain way and write a song and make a track But I'm the same person when that version fades to black Different personalities depending on my mood But I remain the same there is no need to change your view I wont change my genre because hip hop is my life I'd never turn to pop even if the price was right You wont have to worry about me being a sell out So you need to stop tripping like somebody stuck their leg out Please let me continue what I'v been doing for years And promise you'll support me through the blood swear and tears If you hate a track then I appreciate you listened Just don't go acting like this Abby Power’s going missing Knock it on the head and keep it moving like the rest I guarantee that you will take a liking to my next

(Verse 1) Good times role by you gotta weigh them with the bad And don't sit around wishing for the things you never have Go and grab life by the throat so you can let these people know That a legends in the making and it's time for you to blow, so Sit down child, don't stress now Don't be thinking that you deserve any best, how? Could you deny these very talents you've been blessed with? Don’t give up on a dream that you have always been obsessed with Why waste it for the sake of having a few doubts When you could make it and be having yourself a new house Repay your parents for the years that they invested in you A nice car, a big home with an immaculate view Now wouldn't that just make a lovely story? Instead of what you have at the present moment it bores me Live your life and share this blessing with the planet Every days a new beginning so there is no need to panic (Chorus) This world is always gonna try and break you down But you have got that vision paint it through your sound I'll do my very best to help you try and make it Everybody has a voice and you just gotta wake it (Verse 2) Of course I'm talking to myself but I still aim this at you I'm just hoping to inspire by the time this is through Cus everybody has a dream that is trapped behind a scheme, And you need to cut it free so you can let that vision breath Now listen my aim is never to preach, I’ve just been put on this very earth just to teach See, I'm on a Mission to cause an intermission So you can take a break and then follow your intuition It's a lot harder when you have negative thoughts So just wipe the slate clean and get exposure from the force you'll be giving and still willing to proceed with Yeah the force that you'll be killing the whole scene with No bad vibes everything is all good, No matter what happens I'll still be misunderstood, But I'm okay with it that just means I'm different I just want you to appreciate my vision (Shihan’s Verse) Look, don't try to confuse our purpose with your expectations We're not here to make you happy I'm here for the ceiling fans who dream of propelling jet planes through crowds of clouds like a schoolyard bully Or the dedicated monsters with no scare in them Or the moth with butterfly envy aspirations Sometimes you just want to be appreciated for the colour you add to the picture Disregard the words of the uninspiring Cause finding your voice can be difficult in a world preoccupied with trying to fit in Abby and I exist to be different We smile for a living Never waiting for the opportunity to present itself But having the vision to create the opportunity to take advantage of Been broken down Time to rebuild with a better foundation Sleep giants for too long So, climb to the nearest rooftop and scream at the top of your lungs Wake Up

Ego 03:43
(Verse 1) A lot of rappers out here don't know how to act They be giving opinions like it's a fact I'm in the shadows with a sniper and a thousand rounds So if I’m aiming then you’re better off to hit the ground I'll be the one to bring faith Like I’m the one who bought the son of God back Turn me up till the bass makes you wanna smash plates And you wouldn't even know what to call that All that shit that you be making that ain’t called rap I'll be a feature and I’ll take over your whole track I don’t care for views I’m still making moves While the rest of you are begging for your soul back Why you acting clueless to what I’m capable of? I’ll take a beat like Nicholas Cage and take it's face off John Travolta rappers writing like it's pulp fiction Fake as what they say so every songs a contradiction Your an idiot to think we wouldn't find out What you think that we don't know the truth? When you rap about a strap and how you ride out Even deep down you know that isn’t you See, why would you lie in your music? I’ve never understood the point What happens if you go and lose it? Will you tell the truth bout your joints? I doubt it. (Chorus) I'm just tryna save me from myself (cus I’m my own worst enemy) I'm just tryna save me from myself (before my ego is the death of me) I'm just tryna save you from yourself (Verse 2) A stable diet of legends telling their story Got me feeling like the daughter of all these legends before me Like Jay Z recorded glory I’m proud of what I created I take the old with the new and I still won't be outdated People always talk about the greater days Of Hip Hop and how they watched it fade away And i don't really understand cus it's still here It's not done cus the game said it needed change And I’ve come to switch it up in a major way Better turn up your volume to hear what I say I don't want you to forget a single word I said I raise the dead out of their coffins while you make your bed My ears are burning so I know these people talking bout me I won't be happy till I know I’ve overstepped a boundary A far cry from good byes that I was gonna make I may not make it but that's just the chance I have to take Keep the bass hitting like Sonny Liston So it's an earthquake at all of my shows I keep it real so that is my distinction, Yeah I’m keeping you on your toes When these wannabe's don't even know what hit them That's just the way that it goes Better take note of all my flows and my wisdom Cus you know I’m keeping you on your toes (Break) Its getting harder not to say all of these things What with all the hate it always brings

(Intro) God forgive the sinner when the winner has her prize Pride cannot be found when there's a devil deep inside God forgive the sinner when the winner has her prize Pride cannot be found when there's a devil deep (Verse 1) Every time I plan on releasing another mix tape I got people in the shadows shouting at me not to fixate On dreams that I be having on becoming something great It's like they wanna see me starve with not a morsel on my plate So I say God forgive the sinner when the winner has her prize Pride cannot be found when there's a devil deep inside Hatred from the pit of your stomach is soon to rise You can see it in my eyes, I'll be stuck in this for life I got dreams relying on me so that they can take a step Inside the world to show these other rappers this their final breath I count my blessings with each day I lay awake and write a song I'm the reason why music will lose it’s pulse when I’m gone And I don't mean to be cocky I'm saying it how it is misunderstood so they don't wanna fuck with the kid They want a Nicki or Iggy no they ain't looking for content But you won’t see no skin from me, I learn my lessons from convents, I swear. (Chorus) And you wonder why I act so cold When all you ever do is turn me down You don't wanna see me succeed, never proceed even though you know I own the crown And you wonder why I'm so damn cold When all you ever do is turn me down You don't wanna see me succeed, never proceed even t hough you know I own the crown (Verse 2) I’ll write my verses with my fingertips of blood on all your walls Cus you’re not hearing the same rapper that you heard on 'See me fall' it's just me and it’s my soul, were both yearning for control And I'm rocking every mic' I do my thing I'm on a roll Never should I justify the actions that I take Cus everything I do, I do for music, every move I make And I cannot relate if you were born with silver plates With silver spoons to help you to consume your parents cake I’m the reason these females rappers are tryna' up their game Decapitating competition like a helicopter blade I'll stick that gear in reverse and I'll do that shit all again For the power and the passion of this ink in my pen I'd walk the desert like Jesus and I'd go weeks without eating If that's the only option that I'd have for me to succeed in This music that's been draining every single shred of life Just so I could see the planet hear my music for tonight (Tabanacle verse) And they wonder why I'm so damn cold Still here sitting on this old damn road And thing's will move so damn slow When you living like us and you’re so damn broke And I came so far from the start Out time in the music crafting the art And they laughed when I started to bar Now kings want to follow on the path of a star These days it's getting harder to make it Everybody saying they a part of the masons And I waited years for a station to hear my tracks have Them played through to the nation I been patient sitting on the sideline watch my friends go through now I want my time Everybody saying that they better than me But not one of them are better when I'm ready with the right rhyme You want to knock me back try turn me down Well don't call me back when you heard the sound it's murder now They watch me raise up out of the dirty ground I could of came up model with a chain up Started from the bottom now they follow am I famous Everybody's rich everybody's made it But I ain't seen one of these pricks getting paid yet And everybody want to do it like Drake did Or they trying to sound like Mill But I'm trying to keep my shit Cypress Hill So I tell them let's B Real And let's face it unless you’re fucking with the devil you ain't made it Unless you’re fucking with the levels you ain't never gonna be no better than these other mc's that I left in the basement

(Chorus) Psychedelic , my minds a mess And all these drugs, have left me undone (Verse 1) A dirty dozen I be riding with a bad bunch Explicit with the content make you vomit like a bad lunch See I ain’t met that many rappers from my manor But ima sett the sail and find a place to land the anchor So I can find a place to set the pace with what I'm making Cus while you're saving for Rolexes all this other times wasting Slowly calibrating why I'm sitting here with Satan I must be in hell’s kitchen cus I'm wrapped inside an apron Man I'm confused cus my crucifix must be faulty My soul seems to be fine but where'd the fuck I leave my body It's getting hotter by the second yeah I should escape To a place where it don't bother me no more like Catherine Tate But there’s a paper on the table with my name on it Next to a bible and it seems to be a page from it I must be tripping cus I’ve never been a saint I'm tryna work out if that signatures in blood or is it paint? (Verse 2) taking pictures with my mind so I can recognise Everything that happened yesterday and every other time My mind ain’t what it used to be I know I'm only young But these are the results of excessive amounts of fun Hold up Kiddies don’t be listening to me This the reason parents don’t want me to be on mp3s See I'm a bad influence, if you listen to me once I guarantee that you will turn into a little c**t I'm 19 and I still daydream about chasing people down the street with a laser beam Blow their fricking head offs with red dots like black ops Blast them out their skinny jeans and snapbacks & tank tops No I'm not evil I'm just having some fun I’m philosophical most of the time and now I'm done A cow wouldn't stomach me with quadruple the amount So how could you expect to ever digest my sound (Jace Abstract’s Verse) I’m falling out of the sky, visions pouring out of my mind it's more than the kind of the visuals you want recorded at the time, huh Welcome to world of psychedelics kids I take a bunch of drugs, sit in a room and let it spin The spin doctor's given vodka for my blurry eyes And through my third mind's eye, I’ve murdered these guys But I couldn't concentrate on a box of concentrated orange juice Realise my mental state whenever I talk to you Since my head has turned to scrambled eggs, do you have to guess That I’ll be in the 27 club when I die? the answer's "yes" Back in my teenage years I used to bag the cess But now I’ve grooved to bigger and better things just to pass the test of life My back it breaks, whenever I have to elaborate The years I’ve lived not giving a shit in this masquerade I try to alleviate the strain of living day to day But I get fucked up cause every week is the same old same!

Cus I Can 03:45
(Verse 1) I'm a stranger to my city streets I'm rolling through the country I don’t need to see the pavement when this evergreen is comfy It's greener on this side of mine and everything is blooming Your side is all polluted and people are time consuming My third eye has a target locked, further than these city blocks I long to see my vision come to life my faith cannot be rocked I'm a staple to this stable diet of rapping history How the numbers fall at such a pace is still a mystery You abandon such a high rise spirit raising to high tides Compelling story tellers telling stories on these late nights Magic on these verses miracles on these beats All started because people hated life out on the streets 40 years of Hip Hop there’s nothing stopping us now The legends looking down at us so we can make them proud Never stop the hustle if the hustle is for music Feed your every aura and don’t ever try defuse it (Chorus) Everything I do, I do it cus I can do it and you can do it to These thoughts, are all in your mind Everything I do, I do it cus I can do it and you can do it to These dreams, will happen in time (Verse 2) Call me a liar if you want to When you find out it's true it's gnna be me that you run to Asking how I knew it, how did I predict it I'll tell them it's from knowledge that my brain became addicted To, how many times I have to warn you all before you listened? I seen a lot of things that have helped encourage my vision And Transitions, all I needed was some patience Like a doctor with an empty surgery I needed patients And look I waited long enough, it's tough as it is and these people are not showing love, They don't appreciate the things I have to say Even if they helped them make it through another day Well ima say them anyway and they can listen if they want I'm underlining all the faults and being bold just like the font Look at all these lames tryna rhyme up on a track Your gnna break the cup of knowledge if you’re listening to that (Verse 3) I’m watching interviews and thinking "Yo I’m into doing that!" I wanna change your way of thinking as you listen to me rap People always telling me my fate is overdue Looking in the mirror wishing I was sober too I'm lost inside this miracle that they be calling life Calling up my memories to see if their alright I'm tryna find some common ground with anybody else Cus right now I’m just feeling like I'm talking to myself And these cells all around me feel like I'm behind the bars With my poker face you'll never know I hold the strongest cards People don't believe me when I tell them I'm the shit But there’s a gaping hole when they try take me out the mix I got Greezy making beats that your producer couldn’t top You better listen when it drops so you can get it while it’s hot I won’t ever try to brag just tryna make these haters mad At the fact I achieved all the things their wishing that they had
