What she said when we landed
Fantastic
She fell back on the mattress

Flew across the Atlantic
Fantastic
She said I’m so romantic

Sweet complexion
Don’t know what I’m expecting
Feel the connection
Giving her all the attention
Shower her in affection
1010 selection
Look in the mirror
Pree the reflection
She stepped out the bath
Now she’s glowing
See the back
It’s showing
Look at that
I’m not going
Do the math
Here till closing
Made a mess of the bathroom
Said we’re back soon
Made a mess of the bathroom
Said we’re back soon

Can tell what’s on your mind
See from the look in your eye
Round 2 round 3, 4 and 5
Don’t lie
Let’s not waste time
Don’t try
Been waiting all night
Babe don’t pretend to be shy
I know what you want
Can see in your eye
Come closer
It’s alright
We’re in for a long night
Made a mess of the bathroom
Said we’re back soon

Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Hit hard not light like featherweight
Punch with force like MMA heavyweight
Anyway come to the venue and renovate
Then make the crowd sing back like Ella Mai
First class never that second rate
Learn technique and apply then replicate
Duke Nukem if I go renegade
But sometimes hesitate and meditate
Don’t need to detonate
There’s always a better day
You see whichever way
It’s not yesterday
Must focus and generate better pay
Whether they try distract you must dedicate
Get away cus with them you can’t resonate
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Elevate celebrate every day and everywhere we rise we elevate up
Anyways getting paid tell ‘em mate generate vibes its never fake love
Never say never say never say never oh I just said it wait up
When I mediate emanate hella rays of light I make em wake up
If you’re plotting your aim
Don’t plot it again
Can’t plot on a man who lost the plot long time
Lost my mind to find myself
Found it again now I use mind body and soul combined
If I’m in a room with 5 other goons in a studio
And I do a verse and they don’t react to at least 5 punchlines
I punch you all on time one time
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Can’t ask us where we get it from cus we can’t hear you from the upper echelon
There’s a level above the level above you and then that level on is where we settle on
Been more get it gone then get along
Been more set it off then trek along
Always in never not off and on
You can tell this ain’t you’re average song
This one came out naturally then gradually got weaved in a tapestry
Oh can’t be mad at me
What we do we just make it casually
Then elevate to a better place then ideate and demonstrate
Then elevate to a better place so we can
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day
Level up elevate
Foot on the gas accelerate
All we do is celebrate
Same as any day

You can’t get rid of me
Just got back from Rimini
I was in the middle of Italy
Then I went out to the Middle East
Airport staff they’re sick of me
Oh look now I got mini mes
Airport staff they’re sick of me
Oh look now I got
I’m a timezone switcher
No I can’t stop for a picture
I’m so sorry that I missed ya
But I won’t try fix her
I’m a timezone switcher
No I can’t stop for a picture
I’m so sorry that I missed ya
But I won’t try fix her
Euros look like monopoly
Italian babe on top of me
She wanna do this properly
Mayday name hot property
Came from a turquoise Vespa
Now I got her Francesca
Princess how I address her
Then caress and undress her
Can’t lie and say it’s imported cus I went there picked up by hand
Think I’m lying don’t know don’t care just look at the passport stamp
Downtown Roma central cafe is where the exchange lands
Check that it’s all there then we part ways after we shake hands
Break down budgets in the back of an Uber
Ay yo bossman do the manevour
Break down budgets in the back of an Uber
Ay yo bossman spin it whip it rip it
You can’t get rid of me
Just got back from Rimini
I was in the middle of Italy
Then I went out to the Middle East
Airport staff they’re sick of me
Oh look now I got mini mes
Airport staff they’re sick of me
Oh look now I got
I’m a timezone switcher
No I can’t stop for a picture
I’m so sorry that I missed ya
But I won’t try fix her
I’m a timezone switcher
No I can’t stop for a picture
I’m so sorry that I missed ya
But I won’t try fix her

Couldn’t see the friendship ending
Now he’s an enemy not a bredrin
Forgiveness is tempting
But I’m not down for pretending
Things didn’t go as intended
So it’s best that we end it
For all I’ve invested
They say pain is expensive
It’s money that I won’t get back
Don’t care about get a get back
You moved how you moved that’s that
Shouldn’t have to teach you how to act
You’re a big man
We made a pact
But this is the straw that broke the camels back
Years and years thrown down the drain
Who I knew then bro ain’t the same
When you get old I know there’s change
But you? what a shame
We nearly had it all bro
And we really had a plan
Word is bond you didn’t stand on yours like a man
In the heat of the fire
You chose lust and desire
Now you lost expire
Nothing left to your empire
Surrounded by the rubble
The choice you made right here
Future you is gonna struggle
Couldn’t see the friendship ending
Now he’s an enemy not a bredrin
Forgiveness is tempting
But I’m not down for pretending
Things didn’t go as intended
So it’s best that we end it
For all I’ve invested
They say pain is expensive
Turn a lifetime into 8 bars
Believe me it’s hard
But you are where you are
We nearly had it all bro
And we really had a plan
Word is bond
I guess not
Couldn’t see the friendship ending
Now he’s an enemy not a bredrin
Forgiveness is tempting
But I’m not down for pretending
Things didn’t go as intended
So it’s best that we end it
For all I’ve invested
They say pain is expensive

She wants a man from my ends
Even though online they cus out the accent

Cus they must have been talking bout Dudley
And my accents an advantage
My towns full of greatness and fuckry
Don't wanna get caught slipping if ya clumsy
Don't say bath say bath instead
Still go dance and cut 2 leg
But you still get laughed at if ya dead
I'm from Brum like an engine sound
N I rah just like a moped
Go to the wrong parts get man down
Still rep 0121 in Sandwell
F a post code like TJT
Just make sure that it starts with B

Just stepped back off another flight
Another day gone and another night
Spent the last 3 days with a name I can’t say because I don’t speak about there on the other side
What happens over there over there it stays over there it remains
Can’t even say where I was cus if I did I’m in for a very long day
And I don’t have time to fight battles
Cus the ruler said fights don’t matter
Chop down a snake before it rattles
See the game when I’m climbing up the ladder
Grandad taught me how to play chess and to play draughts so I’m good on both sides
Then he said you gotta go and make it happen cus one thing you don’t get is more time
And he never lied
So I gotta try
And he never lied
New country same passport
Foreign girl tryna get more then she asked for
Whilst I’m here all I want is some peace
But she’s boom banging my phone cus she just wants a piece
Haven’t slept before 2am in the last 3 weeks oh jeez oh damn
I’m the man what’s the plan
Way to ill but I don’t flu ____
Told her the ruler said yo baby stop playing with that man
Speedrunning Europe yeah I’m a tourist
Come back home tell Trix throw the beat on the DAW and record it
Pick a country on the map I’ve explored it
Full max on the plane push the pedal to the floor and floor it
CTM and all I gotta do is transport it
Stepped in the building then I said Zappa
So everybody knows to stop the chatter
Already cut down 2 adder
Came late but get the last laugher
No surfing allowed to many come try lay claim take the swagger
Told them the ruler said yo quit rapping you ain’t a rapper
If you ain’t on job properly
Please don’t bother me
I’m self made pottery
You’ll get broke crockery
Don’t take time for mockery
Not in this economy
Get beat up for robbery
You’re stupid you gotta be
And I don’t have time to fight battles
Cus the ruler said fights don’t matter
Chop down a snake before it rattles
See the game when I’m climbing up the ladder
Grandad taught me how to play chess and to play draughts so I’m good on both sides
Then he said you gotta go and make it happen cus one thing you don’t get is more time
And he never lied
So I gotta try

Put my pain into a song I got a lot
Every year its just loss after loss
When will it stop?
Can I get a break?
I don’t know how much more I can take
Feels like I’m stuck inside a maze
But there’s no dead ends just graves
I come from dead ends surrounded by graves
Some of those graves are my mates
Thankful that I managed to escape
If I didn’t get to uni didn’t see a way
Maybe Mayday would never of been made
Likely my face would of been on front page
There was a few times
Nearly lost my life
Staring at the shine of a knife
The look in his eye
Made mine go wide
Didn’t think I make it to the other side
Swung my first but mine missed
Now I’m thinking this is it
What a way to live
What a way to go
So I started running but I couldn’t go home
Mom woulda cried if she knew what I was
Now listening to this she found out from this one
Now I’m having flashbacks
To a bad past
Came and went fast
Really think I’m mad
Time I can’t get back
Take a set back
Step back
Love everything I had
Cutting the mould out the bread being glad with what's left
The electrics gone again
Emergency £5 cred
My bedroom was the bathroom
Sounds mad but its damn true
Small single bed right next to the sink
Flush my toilet but the room still stinks
Couldn’t complain
Did our best to maintain
Can’t forget the day I came home to a new bed frame
GASSED!
It weren’t even for my birthday
So when I look back
I think it was just a random Thursday
But they say hindsight is 20/20
I still wasn’t ready
Came back home to a broke window and mom said somebody robbed the telly
I was sad I was scared
That turned to rage
When I got told
The persons name
Because they ate from my plate
They came and slept where I stayed
And even after all that
Still robbed my house the same way
I mean even to this day
Still can’t comprehend
Doing that to someone that you call a friend but it seems that’s the end to the ends
There’s a lot more to a say
I got a lot more to give
For here and now
For this story this is it
What done is did
It is what is it
We grow we live
One day say the same to my kids
Same stuff different day it’s all monotone
Falling one after one like dominoes
Same shade same palette it’s monochrome
When I’m back I just hope that my mommas home
Lockdown had me feeling locked down lost track of the days gone by
Lockdown claimed lives so I gotta go and make up for lost time and make the most mine
All the time in my house
Had me questioning myself
I could count on one hand those who checked in and said yo mayday you well
I take time and think over it
Don’t take the time to overthink
But it changed my outlook
On how I’ve really been
Now I’m not going places I don’t wanna be
Now I’m going places and it’s not to hard to see
With everything looking like and sounding all the same
Just stay foot down in my own lane
My drive can’t be matched
All about the journey not the destination
Constantly pressing on the gas
Gotta beat all my own expectations
Right now I’m to focused on the outcome
Because I know the income will come in
Some are asking for an album
I reply how come? I got more songs to bring
Lately I only see faces not really much interaction
Zoom calls and meetings yet it’s not interactive
I don’t wanna play at your virtual show
I don’t wanna spit bars sitting at home
When everything is open and then you wanna know
Please don’t message me for a free show
Cus if it don’t make money it don’t make sense
It’s cliche for a reason
Sipping on this lemon and this honey so break bread lets enjoy the pieces
Way to hungry got the appetite to match
Going through the catalogue and it’s looking stacked
Could pick a random one I bet it still slaps
Put another bet on and I bet its getting wrapped
Writing circles round myself I’ve overlapped
Making songs and I think that I’m attached
Who know how long it’s gonna last?
Turn a habit into a habitat
