[FAUXE]

We’ve come far from the kampungs

But I still hear the angklungs

Every-time I sit

And listen closely

Put your ears to the ground and

Listen to the roots and the sound of

You are where you are supposed to be

I will forever reign

Subhas - the name on every grain

The past, My calendar carry pain

Some things my cadaver will explain

On God, My kaṭavuḷ unattained

We sent prayers as novacane

Washed the blind faith, hurricane

We triеd, we knocked but no one camе

Our beards a power you can’t explain

So fly this brown man spitting game

But still, airport, we get detained

My brownness not to entertain

My sound, my voice, you won’t contain

This flesh eventually ash and flames

When we all die, what remains?

I am the evidence

I am the remnants

I stay irreverent

In face of arrogance

Cut off some sibilance

But never my siblings

You and I synonyms -

Together sin and win

The real politics you and me

And our radical communities

Between us lie mutualities

So we call each other family and say we got you

Makan, we got you

A roof over your head, we got you

Whatever you need, we got you

You get me? We got you

Maybe you can call me bit tired

Of fighting the whole thing

But I can’t just keep quiet

Hear my soul sing

Every time I sit and listen closely

(You get me? We got you.)

Put your ears to the ground and

Listen to the roots and the sound of

You are where you are supposed to be

Stop trying, I’m dying

My mind supplying

These rhymes and riddles no IMDA complying

Post it, or roast it, ghost it - toast it

Doubt it, Shout it, flout it, write about it

I’ll be long gone before they ever deciph-it

Every album I drop I am closer to my passage

The cypher continues, the fight for fair profit

So don’t carry my casket - just carry my message

Coasting through life like a roller coaster

Sitting and staring at Jordan posters

Pushing my 30s as I get older

Wishing my Mom and me were closer

Life is a series of complications

Life is a series of complex questions

Life gon' have you grow up fast

Who’s life on the line, who’s telling you that?

Life gone remind you of your mortality

Life don’t give time for neutrality

What is life lived with no regrets?

As long as breath in our body, we got to try

So we rise
