Three years ago I left my home
Left my city all alone
Left my friends and my family
Into the vast unknown
Best choice I ever made
But it's had its ups and downs
There's many places that I've stayed
Yet I still can't settle down
Gained new friends
Old ones saw ends
New memories
More summaries
It's so small
Once you get the ball rolling
It'll try to make you fall
Sometimes I wish I couldn't feel at all
Sometimes I feel like I'm hitting a wall
I carry more on my shoulders
Not easier as I'm older
Maybe with confrontation
I've gotten bolder
I feel like I've gone through change
Yet it appears so strange
I still have the same type of problem range
These are the times of my life I consider the best
Yet they're also the times that I call the hardest
Just remind myself nevertheless
It's all gonna be worth it I guess
Dreadfully scared of being lonely
Just take care the others taught me
Of myself, cause someone else
Won't feel the same way about me
When I need help
You can tell
My emotions you can read
I just dwell
I don't whelp
I just silently bleed
In the moment
Bestowment
It's my friends that I need
Those the closest
When I'm lowest
It's my focus that misleads
They're not around
I won't be found
It's up to me to proceed
I try to train
My scattered brain
So my emotions could be freed
I find it hard to trust some people
My mind has never been that peaceful
I'm just expecting another sequel
Of abandonment that's equal
I depend on others too much
But I pretend that they're the crutch
When it's myself that's truly out of touch
Can't even get over myself just to say hi
Because I'm afraid of dealing with another goodbye
So sometimes I don't even bother to try
Then I regret it, and can't even push myself to cry
I'm just numb to everything
Neutral reaction to anything
That comes before me
I'm disappointed that I can't even sing
I'm just a mediocre rapper
My production is alright
But I am no actor
My performance will suffice
That's all I ever am
Just a passable Kam
Living in the shadow
Of my potential program
I doubt that I'm trying the best that I can
Cause when I say it, it feels just like I'm selling a scam
If I keep yelling I'm going to damage my diaphragm
At this point, I can't even say I give a damn

At times
When I find myself solitary
I look back
On my memories
The thoughts in my mind
My pets and my friends I find
The past in Vancouver so kind
Saddens me to leave behind
Moments to revisit
My nostalgia is explicit
It's not that hard is it
For me to exhibit
I always had a pet
They were always there for me when I was upset
I've had 5 dogs
And a single little stinker of a hedgehog
I've had 7 cats
These 13 animals are remembered as tats
They were serialized
Can't do them harm
I had them immortalized
On my arm
Vancouver character set
They were always there for me when I was upset
Had incredible moments
Get togethers I've chosen
Imbedded in my mind
Precious one on one time
Our friendships fortified
Some of them far apart
I had them immortalized
In my memories and my heart
The strays, the unwanted
Those who yell, like they're haunted
I'll remember how we've bonded
They'll never be forgotten
Chloe and Sniffles
I got their initials
One loving one shy
Hard first goodbyes
Caline and Noa, the dogs
Loved me to the end
Latter beat the odds
My first best friend
Nutmeg and Maya
The fat messiah
The other missed a foot
And she was very quiet
Bambi and Susie
Old gals were a doozie
Didn't stay with us long
Love wasn't taken loosly
Wallace and Happy didn't match
My hedgie was a catch
My first responsibility
Hap with monster agility
Clouseau and Margot
Our very small inspector
Anxieties were hard though
Didn't hesitate to collect her
Hope is up to date
I met her a bit late
She was a seeing eye dog
She was the last one on my plate
Tears from my eyes
Every time euthanized
Or gone from natural causes
I need emotional pauses
I miss them every day
But we gave them a loving home
Some of them were strays
On the rainbow road they'll roam
They made me who I am
To me, they're my fam
Speaking of which here are my friends from Van
Hello! (Hey!)
Hellur! (Hey)
Hello! (Hi!)
Kamil!
Kamil it's us!
Welcome to the future!
We miss you
We've got Christophe, Abbey, Ayaan, Natalie, Caleb, Hourmazd
He's Kamil 2.0
Shame!
Stop looking homeless (Savage!)
What did you just say?!
Thank you for the 12 verse rap you wrote me by the way for my birthday
It's pretty dope
We're basically having a good time, and when we have a good time, we say stupid stuff:
That was fictional!
Nothing real! (You're recording us!)
(You're eating grass)
(No I'm not!)
I'm always looking for new material
I know, this is a madhouse
And it's recorded!
Nutmeg sat on the remote and it actually got stuck in her fat folds
What?
The Supreme Court has decided in favour of stealing the tiny horse card
Aya-Bee!
Fwee! (Yeah!)
Kamil, you can go on to New Zealand now
Gonna leave bye
What!?
Christophe!
Bye! (Bye!)
Bye! (Bye Denny!)
Everyone subscribe and like
I send you a hug

Our friendships fortified
Some of them far apart
I had them immortalized
In my memories and my heart
To begin
I'd like to mention Ben
From the very start
Always been my best friend
Through him
I met the sweet Caleb
He's got the biggest heart
Big energy to the hub
Friend I've known the longest
Christophe is the strongest
The burly silent type
Yet he get's real hype
Natalie I've known a long time
She's an amazing sewer
She's got the freshest rhymes
I've been glad to know her
Abbey my first love
She's so caring of
Everybody around her
She always carries them above
Through her I met Ayaan
Videogames she's a fan
We've bonded over them
As often as we can
Hourmazd
More elusive than the past
He's got his own franchise
To this day it still lasts
Mario and Itete
Don't talk much to this day
But these friends from high school
Were important, I must convey
These 9 friends were the core of my friend group
Together we formed a get together troop
There were of course others that were there along the way
But these were the most important before I ended my stay
I miss them every day
But I'll see them when I come home
We'll all say hey
When I'm done my long term roam
Woo!

Blame Me
02:50

This is an ode
To the one's that I've wronged
To you I've owed
This song and it's been too long
Blame Me
For you I wasn't great
You wouldn't know from the first date
Blame Me
I just needed a break
Just for my own sake
Blame Me
I was selfish and impulsive
I should've been decisive
Blame Me
I'm just not a good guy
So you should just say goodbye
I'm sorry
I know it's just not fair
I know I should be there
But when I'm supposed to think of you
My mind looks elsewhere
It's not that I don't care
I'm just distracted easily I swear
It's nothing personal
It's something wrong with me
My attention span is full
I act spontaneously
I hope she gets this letter
She deserves someone better
Yet I'm glad that I met her
I'll remember forever
I want you to know
You're absolutely beautiful
Your traits are plentiful
And you made me laugh so
You're ever so clever
You're up for whatever
You're open minded
And I was blinded
Don't feel like you're worthless
I want you to hurt less
Just move on to someone and you'll make them feel blessed
Someone who gives full attention
Someone stable not to mention
Emotionally and physically
Someone to relieve the tension
Someone who's of the culture
And isn't such a vulture
Doesn't eat up all your energy, but has a taste for adventure
You'll find this special someone
That'll make all this undone
You'll be way happier than with me in the long run
You don't have to forgive me
Just forget how I feel
Simply think positively
That won't involve Kamil
You'll always be my ex
Despite whatever's next
I don't want that to be considered a hex
You'll always be in my heart
We'll always be apart
I'll always care for you, in my life you played a big part
Blame Me
I left you feeling poor
Because I thought I needed more
Blame Me
I didn't know what I was looking for
It was a problem at my core
Blame Me
I gave up in the end
And it became a trend
Blame Me
I didn't let you ascend
Cause I wanted a friend
I'm sorry
Blame Me

II. DarLin'
02:24

Almost two years on
Yet it feels much longer
So I made this song
Our love goes stronger
Remember when we first met?
I had my eyes set
On you
You didn't know yet
I'm in your debt
You're an artist like me
So let's creatively
Hold hands
While we watch the sunset by the sea
Together we'll make
Plenty of mistakes
You're my bétise
In the best way for goodness sake
My eyes are filled with hearts
Let us never be apart
This is only just the start
And I'm ready for the next part
You're my DarLin'
You're ever so charmin'
You've got my guard down, but it isn't alarmin'
I knew when I saw you
You were something special
Despite the rejection that I would wrestle
I persisted for that first kiss
Was pure bliss
When I left I did miss
Love like this
I see my future perfectly
For the first time
It's just you and me
And we're doing just fine
I asked you how you felt
So casually
Your eyes made me melt
Yes actually
Luckily we've got the same tongue
Same language, makes it more fun
We're on the same page
But our work is never done
We're not the same age
It still feels like I've won
Baby you're the jackpot
Lookin so hot
So lucky that I caught you
Only had one shot
You're so smart
Got so much to teach me
Same with your art
You always seem to reach me
The way I feel when you laugh
Makes me write a paragraph
A thousand words couldn't capture
Not even a photograph
Never like this before
So easy, not like a chore
Every time I see you
Leaves me wanting more
Without you I'm in agony
You bring me my sanity
One day we'll start a great big family
You're my DarLin'
You're ever so charmin'
You've got my guard down, but it isn't alarmin'
I knew when I saw you
You were somethin special
Despite the rejection that I would wrestle
I persisted for that first kiss
Was pure bliss
When I left I did miss
Love like this
I see my future perfectly
For the first time
It's just you and me
And we're doing just fine

Its been a long minute
Since I have been in it
Your life that is
But I dont know how to fit in it
You've been away for the most part for years
Growin aparts one of my worst kind of fears
I feel like I've lost you and hey
Maybe I've tossed you away
I missed so many chances, son
You're now grown and so handsome
It's been hard since your mother left me
The weight on my shoulders has gotten hefty
I know I'm to blame
But my habits are just the same
Growing as a person is hard
When I'm feeling so scarred
So I spend time in my car
And I don't make it too far
Because leaving my zone
Of comfort all alone
Will give my life a different tone
I just wanna stay home
Just come back to me soon
We'll watch some cartoons
I'll cook you your favourite food
I just miss my favourite dude
“I just wanted to say I love you big like space
I miss you a lot.”
My only child
My only son
Your life is wild
Mine has none
Of the smiles
Without your fun
My lonely child
Now I'm lonely, son
“And I'm really proud of you
Hope to see you soon
Give you a big hug and kiss.”
My only child
My only son
Your life is wild
Mine has none
Of the smiles
Without your fun
My lonely child
Now I'm lonely, son
“Take care of yourself
And we'll talk soon.”
I know my mothers left you
And it feels like I left you too
But I didnt leave you in the way you thought me to
Sometimes you feel alone
And I know you do
When you find it hard
To trust even those in your crew
I don't know what to say
I don't want you to feel this way
But you couldn't make me stay
Sorry it's just so far away
I wish you'd get better
I'll keep sending letters
But I can't do much else
You can call if it helps
Just get over your fears and visit
I'm an adult now, I've grown
You can't expect me to be a kid
But I'm still your son you know
Je ne veux pas t'étouffer
Mais tu continues de m'repousser
À chaque fois qu't'en as assez
Laisse-moi faire!
Je sais que j'fait des erreurs
Mais tu me fais très peur
J'te donne des avis d'mon coeur
Et d'ailleurs
C'est toujours moi
Qui sera là
Pour m'occuper de toi
Quand t'en auras besoin
Mais mes soins
Ne sont plus désirés
Tu es loin
D'être bête et je le sais
J'suis pas prête
De faire la fête
Il te reste plein
De choses à accomplir
Je te soutiens
Jusqu'à la fin
Tu as un bel avenir
Mon fils
Tu as quitté le nid
À ta place tu as laissé un vide
Mon fils
Je suis fière de toi
Mais ça me manque de t'avoir près de moi
Mon fils
Je veux être ta maman
Et prendre soin de toi comme avant
Mon fils
“Va où le vent t'amène
Et n'oublies pas les gens qui t'aiment.”
Mon fils
Tu as quitté le nid
À ta place tu as laissé un vide
Mon fils
Je suis fière de toi
Mais ça me manque de t'avoir près de moi
Mon fils
Je veux être ta maman
Et prendre soin de toi comme avant
“Où que tu sois
Içi ou au bout de la Terre
Tu es toujours dans ma tête.”
Ma mère
Merci d'avoir traversé la mer
Et l'océan pour me voir
Deux fois, mais je n'peux pas te donner l'espoir
Que je reviendrais bientôt
Pour moi c'est encore trop tôt
C'est difficile pour moi des fois
D'être loin, même si je sais que c'était mon choix
Mais je ne l'aurais pas fait sans toi
Tu m'as inspiré de faire une découverte de soi
Merçi pour ton soutien
Et d'm'avoir donné tous les outils
Qu'il me faut pour la vie, c'était utile
Rien ne brisera notre lien
Je t'aime grand comme l'espace, Maman, n'oublie jamais cela
Never forget I'll always love you big like space Papa

I'm not a fan of that small talk small talk
But you know that I'm all talk all walk
Will you open up knock knock knock knock
I've got priorities if not I'll block
(I've got your back)
But you never call me back
Got the nerve to act
Like nothing happened, it's a fact
It's one sided what's the point
Why you wasting my time
There's two sides to every coin
Can't your effort match mine
You didn't wish me happy birthday
And that hurt me in the worst way
You even knew the date
Now its far too late
I never left you behind
I tried to keep it going
You abandoned me why
Are you afraid of my growing?
I've got your back
You dealing with the indigo that's trill
Hope you know the deal
I can show you something real
Have you lost in time
Make you lose your mind
Cause I've got your back
I've got your back
We play
We hang
We bonkers
We came
We saw
We conquered
And I ain't playin' no games with you
I've got your back
I'm grateful for those who stuck around
Especially when I was feeling down
Van'll always be my town
Despite it not in my sound
High maintenance friend
It doesn't make sense when
I meet people all the time
But I'll be there to the end
Never could've predicted
My meetings are unrestricted
Never know who stays in your life, it sometimes gets me conflicted
Some of the greatest people I've met
And some I haven't yet
But I'm so impossibly lucky, a friend I can't forget
Drummin' for the city till the sun up
For the past we hang up
Don't you know that
I've got your, I've
I've got your back
I've got your back
I've got your back
I've got your back
I've got your back
I've got your
I've got your back
You dealin' with the indigo that's trill
Hope you know the deal
I can show you something real
Make you lose some time
Cause I got your back
Random opportunities
Joining some communities
Clashing creative minds
Networking continuities
For every ten that blow me off
A single one will payoff
These golden artists are so special, They make me forgot those who scoff
A prime connection, creatively
Is one I connect with emotionally
A friend first, then a creative partner, collaboratively

III. 2 Out of 4

I've only seen two out of four
They could've been more
But given what they had
I guess they did their best
That's fifty percent
That I never met
But if I did, they might be better than the rest
Two out of four
They could've been more
But given what they had
I guess they did their best
That's fifty percent
That I never met
But if I did, they might be better than the rest
Wasn't there at the coffin
His emotions were all in
Sarcophagus not thin
It finally happened
Don't think he'll be missed
Some might be pissed
Another page opened and an empty shopping list
No closure
It's over
The stories left over
Spillover
Composure
Is lost to exposure
Can't you see the truth
The lies and abuse
A great man wasn't lost
Just one who lost his youth
Paternity
Lasts an eternity
You certainly
Don't put it behind your own vanity
Good riddance the pain has concluded
The family tree diluted
But now is the chance for your values to be rebooted
Never knew the maternal side
But that'll never change
My birth marked the end of her ride
No negatives, it's strange
How could a memory stay pristine
Is it reality or a dream
Are they really that blind
Or was she just a light beam
I've only seen two out of four
They could've been more
But given what they had
I guess they did their best
That's fifty percent
That I never met
But if I did, they might be better than the rest
Two out of four
They could've been more
But given what they had
I guess they did their best
That's fifty percent
That I never met
But if I did, they might be better than the rest
I'm only left with a single
One that I can mingle with
But we don't click
She makes me sick
They've all warned me of her tricks
Her ex abandoned
When they landed
Shame he didn't stick around
He wasn't ready
She wasn't steady
So I suppose it was bound
Without em, I wouldn't be here
Even if they were lower tier
People who quite simply feared
Being physically and emotionally near
|

When she said she'd lost it
Should've seen her face
Line in the sand she crossed it
This is not a race
Of course he wasn't there
He should've absolutely cared
She was entirely alone
He can't present his case
I wasn't there for her at the time
But as it's said it's just time
I met her after that first rhyme
After that emotional crime
I'm there for her now
I'm as strong as I allow
For her I'll be fine
What's said is done
What's done is said
Red for what's done
Mad for what's dead
Hold her in my bed
I'll be around
It won't get to my head
Just hear the sound
Moving forward is a must
Loving beyond the lust
Learning again to trust
I'll be patiently waiting till I'm dust
Do it for her and for yourself
Her and you are for the shelf
Might not have a lot of wealth
Emotional is much in itself
Never be ashamed again
Never feel blamed again
Never fall for someone claiming to be your friend
Or even more, your partner
Build up your armour
Don't focus on someone with the maturity of a kindergartener
I know it's cold out in the real world
I know you want to be warm and curled
But into a ball won't protect you from the fear that's been hurled
The streets can finally be safe
I'm right here by your side
We'll have our very own place
You'll never have to lie outside
You can learn to let your guard down
Just like I did for you
We can have a talk and sit-down
You're not the same I know it's true
You carry a lot of heavy baggage
Just don't lift solitarily
Don't focus on the damage
Tell yourself 'I'm gonna repair me'
I can't do it for you
But I wish that I could
Strength is your strong suit
Eventually you'll feel good
I truly believe you'll be okay
Even if it's not today
There's always light to the grey
Self-help is a gateway
Don't hesitate to seek help
From a professional or myself
Be open with your family
Share with your friends your agony
You're afraid to hurt them
But this is self destruction
A safe and positive environment
Is needed for your own construction
You've lost so much
There's so much to gain
What's sunshine
Without a little rain
You've dealt with the storm
You'll no longer conform
You're the master of your happiness
Now it's your time to perform
Let your feelings swarm
Deal with their form
Your psychological extremes
Are their own art form
It hurts so much to feel powerless
For me nonetheless
To know all this happened
While I was at rest
There's no way I could've intervened
Didn't know you existed yet
I was only just a teen
I couldn't have fought off the threat
It's not my responsibility
It's beyond my ability
Yet it makes me so mad
That you were treated with such cruelty
It hurts me know the pain
That was done to my dame
But I need to control my brain
Before I get drained
What's said
Is done
What's done
Is said
Red for
What's done
Mad for
What's dead
What's said is done
What's done is said
Red for what's done
Mad for what's dead
Hold her in my bed
I'll be around
It won't get to my head
Just hear the sound
Moving forward is a must
Loving beyond the lust
Learning again to trust
I'll be patiently waiting till I'm dust
You've made so many strides
Since that phase of your life
You're in a better place now
You've put up a good fight
Not every day is perfect
Internal conflicts intersect
But it's an upwards spiral
Your equipment is all set
It'll never happen once more
Everything is plain to see
You'll never be down on the floor
Without help from me
Even if you were alone
Stripped down the bone
You'd make it out I'm positive
You've found your will to live

Le Déluge
02:40
|

Je me noie
Quoi qu'il en soit
J'aurais perdu tout ce poids
Sur moi
Et quand on atteindra la fin
Ma main
Me mènera sur le droit chemin
Demain
J'attends le déluge
En grand les excuses
Radeau d'la Méduse
J'coule sans arrêt, les abysses pour juge
J'entends la corne de brume
Sécurité j'présume
Sans cesse j'avale l'écume
Laissé pour mort, j'assume
J'imagine mon épitaphe
Détourné d'une épigraphe
Rendez-vous avec la Faucheuse
La fin sera brumeuse
Mon souffle je reprends
Maintenant j'me repend
J'ai passé tout mon temps
Emporté par le vent
J'attends le déluge
En grand les excuses
Radeau d'la Méduse
J'coule sans arrêt, les abysses pour juge
J'entends la corne de brume
Sécurité j'présume
Sans cesse j'avale l'écume
Laissé pour mort, j'assume
J'imagine mon épitaphe
Détourné d'une épigraphe
Rendez-vous avec la Faucheuse
La fin sera brumeuse
Mon souffle je reprends
Maintenant j'me repend
J'ai passé tout mon temps
Emporté par le vent
Pourquoi je vis?
Motiv' d'sortir de mon lit
Le bonheur, si je l'ai connu
En c'moment j'oublie
Mon monde il tourne
Mes émotions comme une toupie
Au son j'suis sourd
Avis des autres, tant pis
Mon égo j'ai avalé
Ainsi qu'l'eau de la vallée
Dans ma bouche un goût salé
On avance enfin allez
Double nationalité
Perdu l'identité
J'ai trop voyagé
C'est une banalité
Entre le Canada
Qui me tend les bras
Et la France
Qui fait la danse
Et la NZ et la RU
Et leur culture qu'ils me balancent
Ils me disent
“T'as de la chance
T'es pas un peu des deux?“
Ça ne fait aucun sens
Je me sens un peu neutre
J'adore la ville de Bristol
Et la ville de Wellington
Mais c'est que du sol
Une identité pèse une tonne
Je me sens toujours perdu
Mais pas physiquement sur terre
D'mes passeports j'suis pas mordu
Malgré mes traversés de mer
J'attends le déluge
En grand les excuses
Radeau d'la Méduse
J'coule sans arrêt, les abysses pour juge
J'entends la corne de brume
Sécurité j'présume
Sans cesse j'avale l'écume
Laissé pour mort, j'assume
J'imagine mon épitaphe
Détourné d'une épigraphe
Rendez-vous avec la Faucheuse
La fin sera brumeuse
Mon souffle je reprends
Maintenant j'me repend
J'ai passé tout mon temps
Emporté par le vent
J'attends le déluge
En grand les excuses
Radeau d'la Méduse
J'coule sans arrêt, les abysses pour juge
J'entends la corne de brume
Sécurité j'présume
Sans cesse j'avale l'écume
Laissé pour mort, j'assume
J'imagine mon épitaphe
Détourné d'une épigraphe
Rendez-vous avec la Faucheuse
La fin sera brumeuse
Mon souffle je reprends
Maintenant j'me repend
J'ai passé tout mon temps
Emporté par le vent
Un jour j'aurai un chez moi
Un plan fixe, un schéma
Quelque chose de permanent
Mais je suis attaché au mât

Attention
Deficit
Disorder
Take me
To the
Border
I'm a
Memory
Hoarder
So I turned
On the
Recorder
Can't concentrate
I should learn to meditate
Used to be medicated
Then I graduated
From a child loonatic
To a crazy young man
Still got my ticks
At least my tongues canned (Not really)
Nobody around see
It hit me so brutally
Making new friends was so new to me
We didn't need anyone else
This is R-I-P
Always pushin' me callin me a monkey
Just cause I'm hairy, it's just in my genes
Makin fun of my bones cause I'm so lanky
Mocking my clothes, making me wear jeans
My pills kept me focused and that was a perk
But I felt like a zombie outside of my work
Was always behind eating somebody's dirt
Just wanted to curl in a ball in shirt
I dropped them, focused on socializing
It wasn't so hard I was realizing
That meant I could stop my fantasizing
My brain took a few steps of resizing
Couldn't hide
Too tall for the PNE ride
Too small for my peers
That's quite alright
Ends a few years
Away, my futures oh so bright (R-I-P)
Fitting in was never my strength
Especially with my vertical length
For all your time I give you my thanks
You let me get patiently outranked
Yet I wasn't alone the whole time
Sometimes I was fine
I had a single friend on the line
During playtime
Recess was over
She left I got sober
Red rover red rover
RIP now you're a loner
Can't concentrate
I should learn to meditate
Used to be medicated
Then I graduated
From a child loonatic
To a crazy young man
Still got my ticks
At least my tongues canned (Not really)
Nobody around see
It hit me so brutally
Making new friends was so new to me
We didn't need anyone else
This is R-I-P
Always pushin' me callin me a monkey
Just cause I'm hairy, it's just in my genes
Makin fun of my bones cause I'm so lanky
Mocking my clothes, making me wear jeans
My pills kept me focused and that was a perk
But I felt like a zombie outside of my work
Was always behind eating somebody's dirt
Just wanted to curl in a ball in shirt
I dropped them, focused on socializing
It wasn't so hard I was realizing
That meant I could stop my fantasizing
My brain took a few steps of resizing
We did it to ourselves
We didn't need anyone else
This is R-I-P
This is big money coming up
This is big sippin' up the double cup
This is big
Livin' or imma kill it
This is R-I-P
It just won't allow it
Imma down the bottle in the fountain
Imma drown in my sorrows
After holdin'
You don't even let drop
The limit
Throw it off light
I got something
To lose
Cause I do
Who are you?
What it do
Got the crew
So I speak the truth
Only this is righteous
Light in' it up
Cause I really like the light
And the warmth of the flames
Keep me cold in the night
When it burns to the ground
Well, it isn't my problem (Isn't it?)
Show me better days
Show me better ways
Show me this
And we all know where you will stay
Show me all this
I don't give a hoot
If I'm pullin'
You know I'm comin' for the loot
Show me better ways
Show me better days
Show me this
And we all know where you will stay
Show me all this
I don't give a hoot
If I'm pullin'
You know I'm comin' for the loot
Hey R-I-P everyone I know
Young spark on a brand new kill streak
Like it's Halo
Young money-making moguls wanna hate me
Pretty women with questionable ethics wanna date me
I don't slide
Less you got
Ice on the skating
Hard on the down low
If the slight be
I'm the only sane one left
All of you are crazy
Let me at em
You should take them
But they tat em
You gon' wishin'
Like Aladin
I'm just mad (Huh)
You are madder than a bright with the flag
Floppin' colour of a light post
Where are you?
Like Michael
Baby I'm a psycho
Never made a typo
On the phone like Eiffel
You're just like a hype post
So you wanna fight?
Then I'll show you where the knife goes
Killin' everybody
Cause I'm scared where I might go
Show me better days
Show me better ways
Show me this
And we all know where you will stay
Show me all this
I don't give a hoot
If I'm pullin'
You know I'm comin' for the loot
Show me better days
Show me better ways
Show me this
And we all know where you will stay
Show me all this
I don't give a hoot
If I'm pullin'
You know I'm comin' for the loot

Back Off (feat. Piu Piu)

Piu Piu Piu
Tipitip (Lâches!)
Piu Piu Piu
Tipitip (Unintelligible)
Back off
Take a step back and cut some slack off
Going too far
Don't you think you crossed the bar
Your behaviour is bizarre
If life was automobile then you'd be crashing your damn car
Who you fighting for?
You take nothing less and still you want more
You dont have the common sense to close the damn door
You're a goddamn mess
Its a goddamn test
You failed, an F
And it's all you get
You're a weirdo
But you fear though
How you look
Don't you have a mirror, no?
I'm not that odd
I'm just an acquired taste
I get anxious a lot
What you tell me is a waste
What I tell you is the truth
It doesn't take a sleuth
To tell you you're wasting your time in the booth
I'm trying to be productive
Don't you miss the motive?
I know I'm not the best
But for what else do I live?
Productive? That must be a joke
You're a procrastinating bloke
You spend all your time watching videos in the dark
And ignoring all my useful remarks
I can't ignore you, you're just far too loud
You talk so much I can't hear the sound
Of my own voice so I shut up
Cause I feel like embarrassment is bound
You never shut up, you never stop talking
You overshare once you get walking
Learn to read the people around you, watch the details
You're so touchy feely, your friends aren't brail
I'd like to think I listen pretty well
Sometimes people like the stories that I tell
People open up to me a lot
Showing them I like them tactilely is a thought
You only tell people things so you can get validated by them
Your lack of friends growing up is from where it'll stem
You've always been a loner, surrounding yourself as a distraction
People find you to be a freak, an attraction
At least I'm a creative guy
It needs some work, yet I try
Music, writing, drawing and directing
Trying to combine them so that they're all intersecting
Jack of all trades, master of none
You're not getting paid, it's barely even fun
It's not a career, stop even trying
It's not just a fear, it's real so stop crying
Go away, everything you touch dies
You make me sit around and gather flies
You put my life on hiatus until a reprise
You give me stress, panic and violent sighs
I'm just keeping you well grounded
So you're not delusional you fool
If you didn't like way I sounded
It just proves that you're a tool
You're holding me back from my full potential
I want to feel like my glass is half full
Instead of half empty, I know its general
On my life you've taken a toll
Back off
Take a step back and cut some slack off
Going too far
Don't you think you crossed the bar
Your behaviour is bizarre
If life was automobile then you'd be crashing your damn car
Who you fighting for?
You take nothing less and still you want more
You dont have the common sense to close the damn door (Close the damn door)
You're a goddamn mess
Its a goddamn test
You failed, an F
And it's all you get
Back off
Take a step back and cut some slack off
Going too far
Don't you think you crossed the bar
Your behaviour is bizarre
If life was automobile then you'd be crashing your damn car
Who you fighting for?
You take nothing less and still you want more
You dont have the common sense to close the damn door
You're a goddamn mess
Its a goddamn test
You failed, an F
And it's all you get

Tired of always living in the past
Everything in life is moving so fast
Put in all the time and don't even know if it'll last
In my own mind this is all trashed
So I challenged myself and made us a task
Bottle us all into a lyrical flask
We all in our element but can't be classed
I should be working but just can't be asked
Procrastinating just must be passed
Audience I try but haven't amassed
Try charismatic but have no sass
My head is a warzone about to crash
Constantly worrying about things like cash
In social situations I fear a panic attack
My anxieties are entirely out of whack
Constantly on the verge of crack-ing
So used to leaving and pack-ing
We performers verbally act-ing
Up next the second part of our pact: King
Any application of ichor
The skin cracked
Limited in surface area
How's the juice in fruit stacked?
Turn half an angle craggy cliff with the clip
Half open half shut
Open air trapped in the witch hut
I'm bleeding out triangles and
My lashes tangle
Struggle and think in all caps
My heir's not apparent
My vital line's cut
The crowd claps I'm a thinking cap
Project a worked project forth
A ghost in the shell
Tooth line hook and fork
Ooze slime cross my map of
How my life's meant to look
Egregious and acrid formica table
Languid in the shadows
Of the ovary
A pool of hair forms
Swirling in total engulfment
I plant a rootkit and hurl it
Enough to question mark tail curl it
Or burn it
Or whatever happens to turn it
Into, into
Something to me
Something to you
Sour marks the hour
My brain can't digest
Or suggest where my urn should be hidden
Under a stack of flats
In a cave i'm batfood
I like that
I should be in America right now
Plant my thousand mile foot down
And let the pain settle
Gurgle in the silence of the self
Suggestive of language
What else?
So honed in on true garbage
That my garden's been handed in as a
Final project
I don't wanna look at it
Sell me right sell me what I want
Sell me off for 99 cents
I'm absolved of all crime as an object
Say it twice to make sense
Say it, say it twice to make sense
Fill up my cup of water
I'm so thirsty
Hear me out
Hear hear me out
Hear me out
Hear hear me out
Fill up my cup with water
I need
Hydration
Rejuvenation (Rejuvenation)
Hear me out
Hear me out
Hear me out
Hear me out
From the water on the line
It feels like I'm chasing pennies
They roll into vinegar
I hope that makes it good for the chip on my shoulder
For she needs the renovation
If I'm chasing dreams
Then make them hypnogagic
To claim power is to make it
So make it so
And make it good
That's what someone told me
Mes potes et moi ensemble
On compte a la pelle nos vices
Mais quand le Beat se lance
Je réponds a L'appel du vide
Jusqu'à ce que ca sois fini
Je me lance à l'infini
Mais ca finira jamais
Tant qu'on est pas vinyle
Une voix une instru
Pas besoin de 15 trucs
Polia mon arme russe
Fréro dit que j'abuse
Mais j'essaie d'oublier le passé tiens
Surtout parce qu'il est pas si bien
J'fais la gueule comme un parisien
Tout comme toi mais t'as pas d'raison
Jsuis né mauvais accueil mais j'm'en bas les reins
La haine quand j'franchis le seuil de ma propre maison
Il fais froid quand on traine dans les rues d'ma ville
La vie est rude, la mort c'est sur va vite
J'serai jamais c'est vite dis de satan l'supot
J'm'enivre de rimes riches mais j'suis mon propre bourreau
J'ai galéré pendant toute mon enfance
J'ai grandi comme éléphanteau sans défense
Maintenant j'envoie des piques sales
Qui te font couler une larme
Laisse ma zone zone zen
J'ai rapper sous tout les ponts
Tu tournes en rond
Tel les roues du camion ben
Fill up my cup of water
I'm so thirsty
Hear me out
Hear hear me out
Hear me out
Hear hear me out
Fill up my cup with water
I need
Hydration
Rejuvenation (Rejuvenation)
Hear me out
Hear me out
Hear me out
Hear me out
From the water on the line
Sleeping in on summer days
Staying up till 6am
I'm not mentality
Rationality
Rationally grinding
And I'm writing like I'm Emily
Hiding from the enemy
From the darkest pit in me
From door to door for poetry
Do. You. Re. Mem. Ber. Me
Like. I. Re. Mem. Ber
Like I remember you
Cette performance a-t-elle été assez?
Je travaille fort dessus, mais vous, vous passez
Et vous ignorez cette passion dépassée
Alors que j'ai passé des mois à le tracer
Mais qu'est ce que ça prend pour être en haut d'la pyramide
Avec nos inspirations, nos idoles dans le vide
J'essaye pas assez fort? Des fois je me demande
Peut être l'industrie, personnifiée, est trop grande
Pour moi, pour lui, pour elle et pour nous
Nos carrières en ce moment, sont toujours dans un trou

Uber drivers always getting in my lane
Doing a u-ee by the junction got me goin' insane
I'm pissed off cause I don't wanna stop
You got a problem with me?
Your face can get re-arranged
So much stress
Your driving skills ain't blessed
Every time I get behind the wheel I feel oppressed
The world I live in's now wrapped in a glove
The cellular technology we cant get enough
Social media's giving idiots a voice
When I scroll through my phone
It's all dog shit
Nothing to rejoice
When it comes to our fate
We don't have a choice
Your opinions are uninspired
You don't need a voice (Voice, voice, voice, voice)
Cause a storms a rising
At a rate that's unsurprising
But I can't be asked to get involved
Until the futures depths are told
And to be honest I should be revising
No more compromising
Your glasses need resizing
Can't you see the uprising
It's you that we're despising
Frankly dehumanizing
That fact needs emphasizing
And maybe advertising
Instead of unappetizing
Layers of supervising
It's really patronizing
Aren't we realizing?
We should be enterprising
A change is near
Built out of fear
It's still unclear
If our peers
Are with us or against us
Regardless I'm not fussed
Time to move on
The world is soon gone
At this rate, it won't be too long
The leaders are puppets
Talking like muppets
While we struggle, they feastin' on crumpets
We are the 99%
Let's make this a heard event
A ruckus insues, that's the sound of us at vent
If you can't beat em join em
That's what the sheep say
I'm going out on a limb
Tomorrow's a new day
Day, day, day
Day, day, day
New day

“Greetings young man”
Yeah I suppose I'm impulsive
My behaviour is nausive
I penetrate your will to live
Cause I get too possessive
I really just want to give
I'd like to think assertive
But I can see your perspective
Getting you out of bed
Is the last thing on my head
You should sleep permanently
Oh wait that means be dead (No no no no no no no)
(Arrête! Ça fait mal quand tu fais ça!)
I won't do you harm
That's gaslighting
Just give me your arm
Black pen writing (Non!)
I'm only marking the cuts
To make sure the best parts
Are preserved, no buts
We can share the same heart
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I breakthrough
Maybe I can eat you
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I breakthrough
Maybe I can eat you
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I breakthrough
Maybe I can eat you
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I break- (Arrête maintenant)
I'll keep you alive as long I can
No lies, I'm your biggest fan
Couldn't escape even if you ran
I hope I didn't just give you a plan
Don't turn the corner
That's an order
Can't afford her escape
Have to abort her
In a mortar
I'll mourn her (Grind her up to pieces)
(Ça fait du mal)
I'll keep you alive as long I can
No lies, I'm your biggest fan
Stop running
You're stunning
I'm more cunning
It's numbing
Stop running
You're stunning
I'm more cunning
It's numbing
Stop running
You're stunning
I'm more cunning
It's numbing
Stop running
You're stunning
I'm more cunning
It's numbing
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I breakthrough
Maybe I can eat you
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I breakthrough
Maybe I can eat you
Prolonged eye contact
If I fight you, you wont fight back
They wont find you, when you're out back
Six feet under, bones not intact
Thats because of the force of the impact
Tied up, you can't escape now
You'll be fried up, I'll bake you somehow
Let's start with severing the limbs
Tear you apart, never eat the skin (Don't like the texture of the skin)
Salting the food with your tears
I'm sure by now, you've forgotten your fears
I'm enjoying this meal with a couple beers
And my favourite person, to that I say cheers (Cheers!)
Hurray! (Yay!)
Strangle you in mud, until its over
Eyes fill with blood, I hold you closer
Keep you alive, unconscious
Until you arrive, I hold a shiv
(Unintelligible)
Sounds crazy but I need you
And baby I need food
Mind hazy when I breakthrough
Maybe I can eat you
Waking up, that must've been a nightmare
I would never do any of that I swear
All of those actions are too much to bare
Besides, I'd only ever cook her medium rare

Don't tune out yet
The fund's just begun
No, no, no, no
No excuses
No waiting
I'm done
I'm creating
Myself
On my own
All alone
Dial tone
You're not home
Off the phone
Stop depending
Start alone
Been mad
Disappointed
Over now
Self appointed
Stop holding back from success
You're the obstacle
Getting myself back, I digress
It's a spectacle
Its my goal in stone I set
It's just ridiculous
I'm just missing the soul I bet
I'm too meticulous
Maybe put it off until next
It doesn't need to be now
I'll do it later I'll test
The waters, then I'll allow
The date not yet fixed
I want it to be
The song not yet mixed
It will eventually
(Il était bien celui-là)
Merci
Contaminé votre soul
I don't raz le bol
Throw me to le sol
Je vais make you roll
The sound of m'en fous
Rien qui left to do
Left à gauche
Le son pierce your ear too
What's qui ce happen
Garde siège belt fastened
Ca doesn't devient clearer
Le bass, tu shant fear her
Le snare est too loud
C'est fair mais I'm proud
That était le point
Juste leave it et self-anoint
That était le point
Just leave it et self-anoint
Just leave it et self-anoint
No excuses
No waiting
I'm done
I'm creating
Myself
On my own
All alone
Dial tone
You're not home
Off the phone
Stop depending
Start alone
Been mad
Disappointed
Over now
Self appointed
Je ne understand
Ce que tu saying with your hands
Tu veux que I stop?
Tout according to plan
On ne me listen to me
You ne fait que rire
Take me serieusement
You're making choses pire
Contaminé votre soul
I don't raz le bol
Throw me to le sol
Je vais make you roll
The sound of m'en focus
Rien qui left to do
Left à gauche
Le son pierce your ear too
Je m'enfous
Stop holding back from success
You're the obstacle
Getting myself back, I digress
It's a spectacle
Its my goal in stone I set
It's just ridiculous
I'm just missing the soul I bet
I'm too meticulous
Maybe put it off until next
It doesn't need to be now
I'll do it later I'll test
The waters, then I'll allow
The date not yet fixed
I want it to be
The song not yet mixed
It will eventually
(Wall
Don't let me fall
Do you care at all
Don't let me fall
Would you care at all?)
I guess I hoped you'd make it this far
Thank you, despite it being sub par
You don't get anything out of it though
Hope it was worth it, I'll just let you know
Maybe you're insane
If this didn't bring you pain
Pick up the phone and call
It would leave me enthralled
(If I fall
Would you care at all)
Pick up the phone and call
It would leave me enthralled
(If I fall
Would you care at all)
It would leave me enthralled
You're not home
Off the phone
Stop depending
Start alone
Been mad
Disappointed
Over now
Self appointed
No kings
Your Mushroom is my Rap
