Better Today 03:31
And it’s been written since the playpen It’s funny how the sorting hat can Slytherin the fake friends, Day tens tentatively through shade when they sun ain’t shining their conniving in a snake den, That’s why I spend my days in, We don’t speak the same Layman (Nah) You wasn’t with me on the train or even on the platform you was praying I was stationed Kin came a long way 'alien' From flesh wounds on my slave skin To fresh jewels, I ain’t baiding but waiting to be Bogtrotter when I’m caking Procrastination on the cranium like the green-sight from the three-eyed raven, I never did inherit any credit so the currency of times were I’m tryna find payment. I’m Like a villain for the gevity, my pedigrees music of the heart like Meryl Streep, It's peak when you're tryna be summit (something) but everything you reach don't amount to nothing Kick Rocks.. Chorus: Better today, Today my good was better today x4 (better today yeah) Rappers are cornier than my Iris Bags full of pressure are heavy under my eyelids It bugs your devices ain't caught on my virus even though I flow sorta colder for your sinus Like Hepatitis for a cherry popped chick, Is it too embarrassing to tell another person 'bout this. Okie Dokey, I ain't rhyming 'bout the spliffys or how I get the cream or your queen in a Jiffy I'm awfully common, conscious, caught in content & often wanting ways to off like Hoffman The thorns on roses never seem to blossom That's how I know I won't erode my problems so I got to keep living Live the black way, watermelon, and my chicken Talking to myself, wanting somebody to listen I'd be free if my mind wasn't stuck up in a system Kick Rocks Chorus: Better today, Today my good was better today x4 (better today yeah) I'm from a city where the locals, shoot before they bogul Data from your mobile is news to the global Nudes from the photos protrude to the social Elude to be noble, the pursuit of a mogul, Schooled by a neutral, steered by the new troll, Tears in the loo roll, It appears to be toodles, I just need senses, yall need consensus. I just need senses, yall need consensus. (Better Today)

Cherry B 03:11
Muggle born N**** but I’m pure They don’t really see me in the ends The Devils always knocking on my door But I don’t really need the influence Always told my myself , I’m needing more I just need a little confidence I bought a cherry b from the store Now I’m getting wavy with a friend Granny told me I should get a job My brothers triple beaming for a Benz Sister told me that I needed god , I said I’ve got it but it’s somewhere lost within Girl told me that i need to grow up And honestly I nearly took it as offence Cause I’ve lending money for the glow up But still scrape enough to pay the rent I got too much pressure and I think I need to E&J, If I grew some feathers then I’m on my way to see LA, I’ll be on a nimbus when i’m goosed, Yh I see the grey But the silver lining always tells me there’s better day Selling all my problems in world Just so I can buy into a trend Of tryna get the paper to unfurl Just so I can spend it all again (Bald headed like a thenn) AND WHEN IT FEELS RIGHT YOU’RE GOING TO KNOW, SAILING THE WINDS TIDE LET YOURSELF GO Sometimes I be feeling so alone, Thinking if I die nobody cares Remembered I just got up on the phone To my brother who was checking he was there Some people they don’t want to see you float Drowning in their personal affairs I just say whatever rocks your boat Fav I’m hoping that you make it for your peers Hoping that you really get the chance to meet your dream goals Climbing up your paramount, steady never steam roll Hope you’re getting money but ain’t living for the gz though And if your getting money beg you elevate your people

Wimmy 03:17
Even if I slip man I gotta get a grip Things would often timber so dreaming of the sticks, If I’m paid a penny’s for a thought I'd be rich... Out here for the ips, Reggy Denny get a brick (Had to make it flip)

Ah Yh Ah Yh (Woah) (Top Down) Top-Down I can feel the wind Blowing through your hair, my skin And I don't care where we go (No destination) Don't move too fast to stay in control I wanna smile at the Sun Summertime vibe off the rum Can I catch a vibe with someone? I ride with my ones Hands to the sky when I'm on I wanna take a drive with my dons I'm from the slum Never likes knives or the guns, But I still ride for my ones Never hide are you dumb Hands to the sky when I'm on I wanna take a drive with my dons Ay, Wacky racing on the estate,  Mutley in the passy laughing at me  as we dream chase the beast stayed creepy in the coup but we evade in the chug-a-bug, doing 30 dream chase We’re just tryna find honeys and work for the money so I can give mummy I’m Pat Pending when I’m penning off the DNA It’s hard to babble on in babylon so we speak change, We’re just tryna live that good life, You know! Get it if looks nice I fill her belly right if she cook nice I need Henny on a hood vibe Smiling when the weather ain’t sunny Tomorrow ain’t promised but I’ll vow that I’ll love Sunny sky’s spending time with my slim ting She’ll look fly while Kai’s in a crimson (Top Down) Top-Down I can feel the wind Blowing through your hair, my skin And I don't care where we go (No destination) Don't move too fast to stay in control Any a ting an Any ting More cash buy me any ting I want stacks over any ting With a Lass on an anything Get frass on a Henny ting cause any ting a any ting Top-down in the rain on the way now Riding with bae on and I’m waved now You tailgate if you’re late now Swerving the lanes till we breakdown x2 Top-down, sticky nights, warm summer breeze, That pink clouds in my rearview That purple sky got me feeling like a hundred G's Mellow Mermaid and Malibu the soundtrack 5th gear foot down chasing sunsets Plus the scenic route got a brother feeling peaceful I called to pick up my girl she's with her girlfriend The seat reclined they want to park up where the world ends Politicking from the back seat we smoking loud Stargazing from the rooftop, we blowing clouds, Deep conversation No explanations Watch the world turn, learn there's no destination Yo, the journey's where the jewels are, forget the rules, Travel light speed, we bun a zuet cah we're making moves long as that music makes the windows rattle you switch gears, give thanks, fight a different battle Let's go!

Penseive 04:36
I’m going back before the CDJS Back when we were pioneering TDKS My mums the living room , she was watching TD Jakes Raising up her spirit , cause she’d givin everything she slaved for and we adored her for food the stored in freezer trays Living off a limit, she had visions that wed see a change working 3 jobs and doing uni, just to see us wake, everyday grinding just cop a pair skates but never seen a silver lining in the city where the ceilings grey I’ve seen her pain And her depressions getting worse I saw the woman’s work and wondered when they’d see this woman’s worth, had her 3rd at 27 ,separated from her first Tryna get saved but savings always taken at the church She deposited her faith in all my brothers on the basis, faith is the only way we’d make it In the haeinus and she braved when she told us palaces fantasy, now I’m a part in my apartment with a cackle as I laugh at dreams Still I graduated in tryna make it to the top But in 2:2s I knew the truth for what is what was Everything I’m wanting gonna come in at cost Now I think I should have the saved the money wasted at my lunch I’ve been through enough My mum prolly feeling she was talentless , not knowing that her drive and sacrifice is where your talent is I gotta keep going just so I can see her plane Back to SL so that she can see her rays I want to see you smile again On the inside And all the pain that you hide within, Let shit fly I want you to be proud of me Hail me up one time I want you to be proud of me Hail me up one time The earth is Heaven for a heathen Or maybe we’re just dancing with the demons I think I need something to believe in On some other shit So far the past wasn’t the comfiest The futures brighter than me focusing on gully shit Met my bros at 24 and by 25 Their mum was diagnosed cancer and she wouldn’t survive And I’m beside myself, look at her last breath ejecting Astral projections, tryna hide my tears so I’m sweating Cause my other bro and I blood relation ain’t best I got scars from the night the metal shard hit my flesh and now I’m thinking to my self how far I’ve gotta step I’m older bro to some brothers that I barely even met It’s mad how life will really put you through these challenges You flip a penny and it chooses one side it never balances I recognized life splits spirits like a Horcrux We get through any way cause it’s all love Hail em up One time, One time aye Two times, Two times aye Three times, Three times aye X2 (interlude)

I called your phone today Cause I feel better when I’m with you I prefer brighter days So when you see my light it hits you Limits, living by likes and critics Why do I start things that I might not finish I feel like I’m lost if I log out I am winning My anxiety keeps my timeline ticking ADHD for an image Pray for ASOS denim Check who likes and pree's I don’t feel like I’m living Give me the light I need Give me some weed I’m tripping, I don’t feel like I’m me But it looks like I’m living Nosedive into black mirror Not a bad picture for the post Royal male , never crown niggas but doubt sinners on the road Funny how we take gram picture now we’re clout sprinters for a goal Always selling what were sold (Yh) Always selling what were sold (Yh) That’s why Active on the low Tell my family that I’m ghost I try and Distance my self but I’m angry that nobody’s close DND when I’m alone And I’m thinking to phone you But judging by all of your followers, I don’t how to approach you So should I just flex, like send you a text I hate being rejected, that’s giving me stress I want more of more not more of less Message requested ,self-neglect I called your phone today Cause I feel better when I’m with you I prefer brighter days So when you see my light it hits you Man I’m Lacy for status chasers I got gas Im my latest drive My highlights are all dim no papers Still you're rating my ways of life F your insta, they profile pages Make me feel I’m paid in likes I go crazy going down them pages And I feel like I’m wasting time High up in my loves when I feel down I seem to love my lonely now 'til you don’t watch me or you’re out That one follow was worth a 1000

A Penny 03:05
Life’s lessons never lessen when you learn em A penny’s worth of wisdom from a Wendals what I’m yearning The Answers to my questions i’m determined to determine what if Jesus took that sermon from the serpent? I ain’t certain Like mr Popo on the lookout for his turban Im searching , for a better version of My person At times I fuck up just to fuck up Just so I can rap about my pain and may buss up Embrace smiles with a grit like teethed A frenemies never leaved me appeased But a sauna couldn’t vape my esteem Life’s a beach and the tide wouldn’t let wet my feet Seen tenderoni’s around me living their best life And I don’t even show my best side Seen my cuzzy making money and I’m cruddy My gumpshuns, unsullied for my hump buddies It’s Funny , how girls run from me And wouldn’t give brain to an educated dummy I seem cold when they celebrate the sunny A Monstar even Nerdlucks wouldn’t spud me And if you lust me then I’m usually Chuckie Unusually bummy, looking for the beauty in ugly, unsuitably Sully With a mouth like Wazowski Eyes out looking for the Randall’s around me so maybe I’m a problematic angel Cause ever since the cradle I would hula with halo Once shitty friend for a pence and a peso My mother must have mixed up the message from Gabriel A narcocist like an artist is Thinking everything comes down to laughs and Whitt More times Im selfless for sure But today I want more

Order 04:23
Maybe you ain’t feeling my aura Nothing to take away cause nothing’s in order You tell me you love but the feeling is torture We ain’t on the same page maybe your border Maybe I ain’t really been doing enough You know I drop dimes to calling your bluff Even though we’re down I ain’t giving this up Even though we’re down I ain’t giving this up Losing at we had, you got way to possessive Stress levels high I get way to aggressive Supposed to be together but the end isn’t tethered Diamonds in the rough what a way to be pressured Staring at you then you step out Too many things on my mind I shouldn’t let out My topic is to pick your insecurity’s Now we’re locked off cause you said I have to get out And I’m running my blues Try a get over you Wish you a had lie Maybe I’d find it true X2 New you but old ways White lies with no shame Arguments that we enter End with 'nah I don't remember' I make out I’m on the way To places that you don’t wanna go, I want to stay You love me like Dee Dee and Dexter or Arnold and Helga Better hold your tongue apnea It’ll get hands on like habeesha in IKEA Stupid how we used to use each other willy-nilly How silly cause we turn sticky in a jiffy We both need to get out Allow the ting man it’s dead out But lowkey I’m Odin with hammer for ya And saying one lie for your paranoia Like I adore ya I adore ya And I’m running my blues Try a get over you Wish you a had lie Maybe I’d find it true X2
