Yeah
Here we go man
Yeah look
It's looking bleak man
Yeah
No don't let it don't let it no
Down in the creek I gotta come through, 1 2 out of the blue I'm like
Yeah
Come on come on
Look
I'm playing chess with the devil and we're at stalemate
God you can trust me with tracks, see I'm a railway
I've done a lot to attract, but not the male gaze
Different thoughts in when we look at what the scales say
I'm getting heavy cah the style tends to emanate
Heavy with the hand, pouring liquor with my lemonade
I can't wait for the time when I'm at heaven's gate
Sounds when the angels sing I call a serenade
Come, listen to this, I hope it resonates
Can't be gospel rap cos I'm a renegade
Monk mode on my work, the time I dedicate
Then I'll kick back on a mat and kinda meditate
Something fresh and clean, channel Double E
D's missing for the bruddas who are gone and puzzle me
I just wanna tell em things that build them up and I believe
You'll get out what you put in, I don't believe in luckily
I don't believe in narrow-minded, don't believe in subtlety
And imma tell em what I know, I hope they listen when I speak
Hope they listen to my journey, hope they listen when I preach
Even if I'm wrong, God I like to reminisce on beats
Tell them listen to your priest, listen in to what you need
Knew I shouldn't carry on in causing insecurity
My old rapping wasn't real, didn't practice what I'd preach
I'm antipodean now
This ain't Magnum it's me
Yo
Seeing it's typical, when it's visible
You notice it and wanting regard, you make a din
Hoping when I'm writing my bars you take it in
If you need me now swivel the dial and make it ring
Rapping jazz and the swing and dreaming records will spin
Saying keep it a fling, there's something holding me in
This is what I wanna do, as in a regular thing
Turned my hobby to a job and now I feel like a king
Sitting pretty on the throne, got a sovereignty kink
Got it purring on my shoulder, that's some quality mink
Diagnosing myself cos I'm a wannabe shrink
Tryna get rid of my ego feel it going extinct
And I'm here
No don't let it don't let it no
Down in the creek, I done enough rap cap and I sit in a pride with other - look
Come on come on
Let me go
Look yo
Commit a felony, a crazy melody can make you mad
Write an elegy, another enemy is in the pad
Trust the chemistry, a China remedy is what I have
Cah the therapy is telling me to not be a man
I can bottle up the memories I'm taking a stand
See the bruddas full of jealousy they're hating the plan
But they'll never be ahead of me I don't think they can
Boy I got the raw pedigree I'm shaping a man
A Vitruvian form, a Caledonian clan
Call me Robert the Bruce, a Caledonian man
Favourite art is Italian, cannelloni in pan
That's why I call it Michelangelo you know I'm a fan
Figaro, go Cicero, bold when in Rome
No home so I'm roaming
A word to the rolls
Keep em going so we won't know how they evolve
They can benefit themselves while we're digging the holes
Becoming ever wary
So I've been feeling like Holmes
But not as legendary
But that'll come with the hope
I've been to seminary
Where I could learn about flows
I went and prayed to the K to the A N O
Can you listen up please cos I've got something to show
Didn't fancy a sheep, I wanna listen to goats
Want my name to ring out, I'm talking coast to coast
I wanna be known from Land's End to John O'Groats
I had a dream I was flirting with death
Saw the bright lights, DMT flooding my head
Had to stop for a second, do reality checks
In realising I was dreaming almost lost my head
I was conscious in a fantasy just for a sec
Made me think about reality and how it compared
Are we awake and just living in a dream that is shared
And is it so much different than when I'm lying in bed
Does the veil have secrets without getting wed
Think who's making the silk, not who's spinning web
Who's the one behind the scenes, who's the ghost overhead
Cos I'm a CBAtheist so I've been living in dread
Yeah
No don't let it don't let it no
Yeah
Down in the creek I give it one more time and I'm spitting the rhymes with other big
Yeah look
Come on come on
One more man
I'm playing chess with the devil and we're at checkmate
Boy you couldn't match how I'm doing it on your best day
I got a circle, never hearing what the rest say
Marshalling art so man are calling me a sensei
Dare say manna sensational
You see my bond with the mic's unbreakable
See I'm still Heath Ledger when I play the fool
Becah my drive for the fame's insatiable
I'm a sceptic at heart, I had a couple of rules
Didn't tolerate the stories on the ghosts and ghouls
Never listen to beliefs so I hated school
But now I'm looking back and I just see a downright fool
