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.

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.

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

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.

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
