[Verse One: Kayncee]

As I'm writing this, I'm about to turn seventeen

Jan 5th could we put down all our weapons please?

A long shot I know but you don't ask you don't get

If I woke up to no threats, that'd really help our self esteem

I know the world ain't evergreen cause the leaves fall

I'm just asking for a second for the people

Cause they're meant to come first that's the essence of elections

Is this system a guillotine or a see saw

I get we can't have it both ways, that's illogical

Are we leaning towards equality? That's improbable

I look outside I see the beauty is phenomenal (I am Phenomenal)

Let us look for solutions and not at who's responsible

The other day I had a Christian knocking at my door

Asking me what I think the world is headed for

Will it get better, get worse, or stay the same?

I told em so much worse without a major change

That's what it comes down to don't it?

When a kid can tell you that the world around you's broken

Most people see blurred, can you focus?

'stead of nextman chat bout how mad this roach is

They can feel it they can breathe it they can see it in our eyes

Every time we tell em fine they can see we're telling lies

And I'm sinking in the rhymes just thinking all the time

But what's really in my mind isn't pretty in the light


[Verse Two: Kayncee]

The motto wasn't to follow down this shameful path

Why is music with a message a disgraceful art

The game is so dirty need to take a bath

Erase the charts we must remain on task

What I'm seeing is the game's, tied up by 2 chains

The groups face being clogged up by a new wave

A little bit of a wayne, an iggy and a drake

And a waka flocka flame fills the future with new pain

A new strain, of a deadly condition

So we're looking to the past as we're set on a mission

That's why I tried to take you all the way Back 2 Tha Roots

But you're more interested in going back to the zoots

I can't capture the mood just from rapping to you

If you'd rather live your life just stacking a few

But if thats a rap, he can rap, damn he must be an Oddity

You must know by now that your opinions ain't stopping me

And I was Trapped in Chains, now I'm breaking free

So there's really no reason to be hating me

Cause in my life ain't nothing to be jealous of

Truss that in my closet, there's many many skeletons

That might sound ungrateful but I really ain't

I'm thankful for what I've got but it could really change

Never glimpsed the finest, like I was Biggie, Jay (Z)

Haven't hit rock bottom like I was Slimmy Sha (dy)


[Verse Three: Kayncee]

I really say to those who hope and they pray

Who every time they look out wounds open again

To the little girl across the street groped at again

To all the people who're told life's supposed to be great

To notice today how we can stand together

While it won't be ok we can stand together

We can grow through the pain when we stand together

If we stand aggressors then we won't be coping today

This is for my loser's, my nerds and my geeks

My larrys and outcasts, not the herd of the sheep

For those who feel alone when surrounded by peeps

And anybody else who wants to stand with the freaks

If you think that Hip-Hop's disappointed its fathers

I encourage you to listen to Lowkey, Akala (Hyperaptive)

And thats just here in the UK

Locksmith's killing it in the U States (Gemstones)

The diamonds are all lying under the ground

And if you dig deep enough then you're loving the sound

Gotta have some patience like a Jedi Knight

It'll take a lot of time for me to semi shine

But look at last year how much I've improved

Best believe in me cause it's coming here soon

I'm here on the track cause I got nothing to do

Kay the 6'2" I'm in love with this groove


[Verse Four: Kayncee]

So relax cause there's 24 bars left

23 bars for me to warp our sense

Of what we are and what we could grow to

Of what defines our lives what makes everybody know you

It's like playing as Shaq but can't figure out your post moves

If you can't play your role then what the hell's your go to?

Cause the opposition is stacked

Jordan and LeBron are beginning their attack

This is the definition of an emcee

Controlling the crowd is our mission evidently

All these ideas just sitting in my head we've

Gotta express this is thinking with a medley

I'm never giving up to the dark side

Got a past life of stark gripes, I can't find a pass time

A hard, vast card played against a cast die

A fast clasped grasp as you're hit by blast fire

And as I'm sitting here today and I've written on a page

Letting everybody know that I'm spitting out my pain

Sinking off away amidst the many waves

If you listen to what I say you can see the ticking in my brain

Yeah, and its like that

A Run-D public enemy couldn't fight back (fight the power)

Walk the sky, empire's strike back (star wars)

But I'm a Luscious Lyon, going till my life cracks (boom boom boom boom)
