*Influence ft. KP Illest* *(Lyrics)*

*[Verse 1]*

You are now in the presence of an alpha

I pay no attention to what society tells ya

Don't you come near me

With your low self esteem

I’ve been schoolin' rappers, representing Delta

*(X2)*

(Uh)

I'm bringing boom bap rap back to Namibia (ah)

With that Kasi Vibe - ghetto love - la familia (ah)

They say Nam- hiphop died when we lost Catty Cat

When lyricism then mattered before we got to trap

When rap was still nodding your head, but now it’s "break a leg"

Man R.I.P to both you and Eclipse on local rap

(I'm) So proud to say that I'm making progress on MP3s

I'm '97 that post-mellinial energy

Been so behind life that the past was even in front of me

(I'm) Now the future you gotta see

Offer the eye democracy

NDF got no policy

Get it? - ain't got no policy

(So) Do steal nothing but heart's ~

Innocent robbery

Welcome to the 21st century

Where being fake is a trend

And all the realest descend

Nigga, welcome to the 21st century

Where you see sex is for free

And love’s a bag full of cheese (I)

I’ve been thinking 'bout taking over the game ... (I)

I’ve been thinking 'bout even changing my name (And)

Rebrand my image and style of music again

It's so hard staying humble when they ain't doing the same

"Influence..."

*[Verse 2]*

I feel like I’ve been underrated rapping for 3 years

I'm tryna represent my Africa like I'm P-Square

I've put in so much work that went unnoticed - I've wept tears

Ironic like the devil telling niggas 'life is fair'

Tell me the keys to life 'cause I know there ain't no cheat code

My dream girl became a nightmare

Can't sleep - no

Ain't no cocky nigga but I'm still far from beast mode

KP tell Abdallah he's from zero to hero

An artist coming up like a meal of vomit

Who took some time off of college

Just to get his music polished

No wonder his spittin' knowledge

There's to wanna say something

And having something to say

Know the difference

And you'll go far away

-Influence

*[Verse 3] [KP's part]*

(Intro: Yeah

Abdallah, I'm going in)

(Uh)

I'm at the mountain top

Damn it's really me

See this is '93

But to infinity

I gotta share a toast

It's for the scenery

The Father, Son and Ghost

I got the trinity

I'm counting blessings up

I feel the pressure but

What's pressure to a what?

It's got me shining out

I saw the bottom of it

But now I'm at the summit

The rain and sunshine

Man, you gotta love it

You gotta love the timing

You gotta love the climate

I pulled the ladder from heaven, they said I'm bout to climb it

Road to Mecca, the Holy Mecca I'm bout to find it

Proskated to every hater, they know I'm grinding

Influence
