Pine Trees 02:46
Intro. // Golden leaves with an amber tint Burn a rose for some ambience, Burn the leaves to see the hand i'll get, Sailing by Byzantium in an abandoned ship. Martyrdom, who might blow up next? I see it's hard for some to show up their best, Like a gun on blast I harpoon the pen Verse 1. // I might be dead nah I might be living, night or day through the light of prisms, believe in violence if the fights a giving, behind my eyelids is a silent mission. I couldn't make this up, welcome to the state of drugs, awake with cold shakes shaking the bug, A cold war radio waves Ukrainian. Burning trees feel the flame for the days to come, Friday feeling Im a famous son or maybe it could be the Jameson and on this page is my native tongue, I can taste it bud , proven honour is a sacred trust lose dishonour when the fake is done, used to move product to blaze it up. Proper payslips, improper day trips it's non evasive the rate is up, The razor blade of a generation, the death rays of a laser gun. I want to cut out nothing but the love i found, will not become a puppet nor a clown, got to keep it rugged for my town , running round dubbing out the sound Sense the breeze in my idol mind like clothes swinging from a washing line souls ringing out to find the light with seven crows gone sevenfold. The tears have disappeared I wiped them dry , A real man who never learnt to cry I'm just saying what the world is missing... Do you want to know my opinion ? Chorus. // It don't really matter , It don't really matter I'm living this life , I'm living this life It don't really matter , It don't really matter I'm living this life , I'm living this life.

No Memory 04:28
Verse 1. // I couldn't blossom on a bed of roses , better yet it be a bed of nails Cutting losses if i'm losing focus I bet the best of me will still prevail Smoke myself into a psychosis , my head tells me that it's heads or tails Half of me might make it home, the other half of me is close to fail in the coldest hell I see the golden leaves with an amber tint frozen fields with no harvesting, wholesome meals or carcinogens it's the lonesome heat of an arsonist , ants in my pants like I got an arse of nits , eating well I got the hardest shit there's no longevity, no abundance due to austerity and budget cuttings I'm not fucking budging if they push the button couldn't govern nothing tell them we are free souls always suffering for their poorer judgements how can they see what they don't know we see through your whole glow, the visionaries of our own future , the missionaries of our own faith so whats the going rate for an Ak ? Let it spray until i scream mayday with a pale face Im ok, k ,k fuck what you say mate Cos' ma's still slaving for a payday I pray what I put on the page makes her put her feet back in a zen state, See this is all I have and this is all it takes Chorus. // I used to dream of everything that I never had, Now it don't seem to bad . I used to dream of everything that I never had Now it don't seem to bad Verse 2. // I remember when I was told That all that glitters can now pass as gold Shout out the real bro's Cos i know they're still kicking it like steel toes Grinding just to eat a meal yo, who couldn't give a fuck about how you feel yo, everybody's got to eat though I awoke up from the sleep hold underneath the money tree groves counting sense just to feel gold Cos' these streets will steal souls, speak no evil, we don't see no hope It's no joke so don't smile , don't provoke any emotion cos' until your living life with a rope, you cannot cope A swole throat, nose broke so get the boat I'm drifting out to sea just to see if i'll stay afloat when i was 17 after 7 e's down my neck , struggling to breathe and I couldn't see what was next , slit my wrist and watched it bleed taking the baby steps into a realm of ruptured dreams where life becomes erupt with schemes and everything is what you think. Chorus

Verse 1. // Here comes the fear again, There's white noise in my ear again My pride is sincere but thin smear blood on my shirt, fall back watch it all begin. I'm often in thoughts of an apocalypse , auction off what i bought for this audit my worth, is it worthless? You claim that i'm talking shit watch your posture bitch, still with the same squad I rostered with , got time like a watch to wrist only poor people watch the rich, feed my people with a block of swiss, see evil but don't watch the risk. Spit lethal injection, split beats with a weapon you know there's no stopping this, you wouldn't lift your cock to piss , wipe it with a cloth and hope to god it isn't obvious I like to have the thought that I am coping with the cockiness the future is dear and my memory is the foggiest A lucid fear will prove a pint like a lobbyist the dodgiest oesophagus , the biscuit is the soggiest dipping in quality , envisioning the jolliest, clipping the holy tree it's only me , I'm fighting for peace but my temperaments fighting me survival has been eminent , get on your bike keep peddaling I've been putting pen in and it's evident give me the mic like i'm Edison give me the light like i'm Edison I'm wiser than these streets , brighter than the beast hiding in the sheets trying to find a bittersweet sensation but the lion in the pit of me, could well be the epitome of all this hating all i hear is the same shit on the station, I don't hate to say that I don't rate them there is no cold that i'm not facing whether or not to keep on creating . Bridge. // Amen, Amen , where do I start? Sleeping to much not enough thinking words don't hurt but they're leaving a mark and i'm breaching bleeding hearts preaching the secrets I know i believe this but beating these demons is hard, I said beating these demons is hard Chorus. // I'm a fiend when i'm leaning If I am uneven i'm seeing the dream of this art It's a coping method in a chapel of sin Crystal Methodists and Catholic kin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin That Holy, Holy Gin .... Verse 2. // What's your addiction? Fact is it fiction? Pumping our lungs with a silent dismissive under the sun i'm a son of the system the one you co-exist in, yeah I'm going hard just to make a better living but it's more a hinderance than a given bad habits i had to kick them never shortage of havoc as a kid but now I see my ma crying in the kitchen , I've been getting high to provide an ear to listen I want you to know you made a warrior encrypted In my Mind, Body Soul . I do this for my family, you can watch your back with me And da I hope you see the man in me, since you made the man in me now i'm feeling like a king when it's the man and me but actually... Bridge. // Where do I start? Sleeping too much not enough thinking , words don't hurt but they're leaving a mark I'm breaching bleeding hearts preaching the secrets I know I believe this but beating these demons is hard, I said beating these demons is hard Chorus. // I'm a fiend when i'm leaning If I am uneven i'm seeing the dream of this art It's a coping method in a chapel of sin Crystal Methodists and Catholic kin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin Blessed amphetamine with holy gin That Holy, Holy Gin ....

Verse 1. // Hiding behind those fragile smiles The world see's through timeless eyes the earth beats and the skies alive disguised in magnetised vibes I magnified the mind, through a triple lens payed dividend at a third of the price I don't need a prize but is there doubt that I tried? I've been rapping since I was 9 But now little mouths with a mic want to act like they're fucking christ ducking knives with the crew behind that's what you meant when you cut them a slice Fucking nice but i'm pissed off rather that, than be pissed on to kill the game is a day job , know I will rip a fools face off cos' while your still at the day job taking selfies with the face swaps I've been with the kings prepping take off So lets play ball, cos' all the talk about the best on this isle are just sorry facts settle lies said it right man its lawriii craic I could split a sixteen in a blitzkreig of combination treat sick fiends like congregation, conjure patients at concert stages lads are spitting for conservation , conserve hating and sponsor satan got love for everybody but i don't make it blatent love wont help me make it to my first payment dragged through the mud wiped my feet when I came in lads these days kick up shit on the way in thats just the difference of our generation , I'm trying to give you what I'm generating. Chorus. // I haven't seen those clouds in a while lemon water and rain drops I doubt to doubt the thought that i've died let me know when the pain stops We've been running round, we've been running dubbing out the sound saying nobody got love for me We've been running round, we've been running dubbing out the sound saying nobody got love for me Verse 2. //Hold that moment in a freeze , since ugly dies where the beauty sees granted that i could be Ullyses but i picked the plant with the fruity leaves picked the pettles green and ruby trees , blast off through duty free , I share the dream that Red and Nu-ey seen Slow it down on a blue-y scene Lawriii Craic I'm the new elite like Red The Future, Kreo , Rebel P what a year that it has been for me spent time with nugget rocked out Ep found love , lost a brother tooo ducking shade like I'm mother goose I'm not the same as those other dudes you can round up those sucker troops don't make a sound when they're fucking you I'm paying the price for a troubled youth The days are good but the mood's the moon The newer me is just the sooner you the lunar's blue the sun is indigo lost kids trust the sons of indigo crosswinds of the public image bro have you flowing like the sinning in your soul You've got to let it go, you've got to let it go You've got to take control Chorus. // I haven't seen those clouds in a while lemon water and rain drops I doubt to doubt the thought that i've died let me know when the pain stops We've been running round, we've been running dubbing out the sound saying nobody got love for me We've been running round, we've been running dubbing out the sound saying nobody got love for me.

Echoes 03:46
Verse 1. // I remember having nothing, just these trust lyrics a pad and a pen I remembered it was summer and I just wanted to be like my friends right until I found my brothers, Now i swear i do this shit for them, for the single mothers who just missed the rent with no other sort of significance against paying bills with no dividends , heaven or hell there's no difference same start but a different end, same heart but a different trend see in our minds and hearts we're itinerants right from the original mineral of whom it's life it gives to provide light into the bitterness, like a sharp knife in the wilderness working part-time just to live in it work is hard-lined but i break free from these bars and ties i'm a part tied to the dark side on the hard white cos' its hard right this is our life We see the future through our sight, We see the future through our sight and it's the same fucking cycle , the sane fucking psychos Disciples deciphered in biro, Im blaming what I know But don't blame me if it's not nice bro I'm over taking pictures on the I phone Overlooking to obliterate the big wigs of the bigger state Chorus. // Is there anybody out there? Grey mist unfold over my horizon Who am I son? Echoing in the meadow Verse 2. // Let it go , Let it go keep it low key blend in from the get go set the flow , get the dough hold your card, never fold never look, never show clever fuck with the flows weathers fucked, yeah I Know that's my soul, that's my soul I was stuck with the lows ,nearly shook to the bones frozen off, cut the toes cut the shit, make your own come to grips with the old, thunder hits through your home , this is life as we know , we just take what we're owed And i've never been tapped in the phone cos I don't have a phone, thats trap ever get trapped in your home, when you chatting, your dome chats back never online , never on spachat when your on your grind any man snatch that these lads steal your life and make you patch that got you scared and twitching like a bad batch snares and rhythms I share some rhythms would you care to listen? this is dispatch re write science in the lad bro, got a tab & Psilocybin in my lab coat itching for a fix when your past broke no new kicks when ma and da's broke these lads steal the shirt off your back best believe they call that a backstroke Chorus. // Is there anybody out there? Grey mist unfold over my horizon Who am I son? Echoing in the meadow.

Chorus. // Why do you want to steal my light? Why do you want to take my shine The devil trying to steal my light Verse 1. // I think it's manic for the panic, wishes with no wisdom an attachment to the attic , a sickness or a symptom there's words in what we say but they don't have no meaning in them there's words in what we say but they don't have no meaning in them Is it teachers teaching teachers? students of the students lose yourself in lucid for the man to call you stupid workers for the mothers and earners for the learners blue scenes for the lookers and beauty for the starers who's Lucy and what's she wearing ? who see's what the wear is ? it's hard for you to give it up when you don't know what a care is How could you care less? solve it in solpadiene , and yo the drugs are all Medillin I swear it to you solemnly I'm Solomon it's all on me , hope and make some change you never seen the fallen Autumn leaves your sought up sovereignty commandeer our camaraderie come in here with a bar of cheese hoping you may start the peace Is it hard to breathe or is it hard to be pardon me that's just a part of me Hippies in tattered shirts partly creased black or grey trackies yo, this is where it started g It's manic for the panic , wishes with no wisdom an attachment to the attic, a sickness or a symptom there's words in what we say but they don't have no meaning in them there's words in what we say but they don't have no meaning in them Chorus. //Why do you want to steal my light? Why do you want to take my shine The devil trying to steal my light Verse 2. Is it hard to breathe or is it hard to be pardon me that's just a part of me hippies in tattered shirts partly crease , black or grey trackies it's where it started g I'm from the town where the brown water starts a sea Bray days in a grey maze took a train to strange place took a rodent out the cage, the rat is out the rat race it's Lawriii Craic for namesake for keepsake i'll keep faith I've spent too long unable to see straight spending cheddar to feel grate hanging on by a tether, a featherweight i pull strings like Jipetto while the mellow perculates yellow mellow purple taints push pedals and preservate persevere through the fear who's the hardest I bet he quake in his boots when my tape shakes more confused than daterape lift the veil for a kiss of faith

You. 03:32
Chorus. // Is there any love in the air that I breathe? the sky is one but it's all i see Is there any love in the air that I breathe? All I ever needed was you. Verse1. Define the fine line I walk between heaven and hell Fine livings a far cry from living in tenement cells the final straw that finally broke the camels back , he got a lump in his throat smoking camel packs without a leg to stand on wearing camo pants Frightened the fear is like cyanide , no taste, no smell it's in the sky at night, it's on your face when you tell yourself you don't want to go out tonight but you faced it and fell you've been wasted and frail. Is there any love in the air I breathe , the sky is one but it's all i seee See it may be hard to believe but we are one of the same man, we are one of the same plant, different leaves of the same seed different breeze through the same trees the image seen is the same dream , so fuck all that restrained heat yeah, you better look behind that grey sheet to see in colour for we can not be brothers if your scenes are duller fuck a dollar my sentiment you'll never get to spend what your owed cos in the end we have no Euros to my sisters who assisted through the system this is your go to reclaim the beauty thats existing within your soul exterior is a sure road like a circle you search for so with the parties call them in and ask them why they're digging up dirt for ask the man in the car, why he skid and he skrrrt for look back on the younger you and ask them why your scared for we got two side we pray while kicking in church doors we've been living fruitful why do we think we deserve more speak good riddance and let it hurt more it must be forbidden i think a thirst for lust quenched by holy gin drenched in holy sin I just hope he swim , I just hope he swim I seen a boat when it was sinking in , blink to take it in or you may never think again I write my wrongs and ink the pen , sing these songs and fight the chin of time sitting on the dock of the day spitting these lines I Never really asked the past for no story, I didn't believe in the acts i'd choose until it blocked the path that had ran before me all i ever needed was you. See it may be hard to believe but we are one of the same man, we are one of the same plant, different leaves of the same seed different breeze through the same trees the image seen is the same dream , so fuck all that restrained heat.

Better Days 04:01
Summer's in my eye scope I light one up that I rolled watching with my eyes closed walking on a tightrope, At night i'm in my Nike Pros looking for the highroad even I don't know where i'll go I don't know what I know if you love the way you like me like the way I love you If you understand beside me, we can find a way to get through. Love the way you like me like the way I love you If you understand beside me we can find a way to get through I was told that I would never fall Verse1. // Go for broke , lose it all in the effort spoke to god to prove i got the message spewed my guts in the pews the news of the new thoughts yet to register he told me I'm crude in my views but I am my only competitor I hit the pad like the snooze, haven't slept since the blues coloured my mind like an editor accepted the etcetera , I start seeing green in my retina, like maybe the money may better ya , maybe the sunny day weathers ya the devil has his day he'll send for ya saving the message he sent to ya the sentinel of the century scratch the surface like eczema , we copy life like a replica , the city nights like a nebula, but if you fuck around you get fucked up the fiens are fiending for sedatives feeling low cos your stuck up we bleed into what is washed up feed into what is not love Summer's in my eye scope I light one up that I rolled watching with my eyes closed walking on a tightrope, At night i'm in my Nike Pros looking for the highroad even I don't know where i'll go I don't know what I know if you love the way you like me like the way I love you If you understand beside me, we can find a way to get through. Love the way you like me like the way I love you If you understand beside me we can find a way to get through I was told that I would never fall
