Playing with feelings are fun? [Verse 1] Never made me shed a tear I only wasted one year I once bought her flowers, got aired, she didn't care That was P's straight down the drain Leaving my heart feel the same Sun has gone in, look to the sky, the rain would keep me sain Decieved by looks I didn't even take time to read the full book First chapter in I was content Live and I learn and I hate to regret That was a mistake it won't happen again That was a mistake it won't happen again I was a state, fam I was weakened Seeing her with a next man the day after that, it felt like treason So now I grind through the weather Snow, sun, rain any season She played me like a game, she had codes, she was cheating [Pre-Hook] To this day, dunno why she did it (I don't) Sometimes I wonder why but I've got a new girl, that's lies The past is done, I've moved on Looked to the future as I made this one or in japanese, Suru ga, Suru ga [Hook] Thought I loved my ex but that was a myth I just loved her for her figure, she treated me just like 'ish' Tried to take me for a joke nar that never could run She tried to break me down What?

But don't get it twisted '013 was the last time I cried Cus back then I had flashbacks, back then I couldn't let it go Thinking shoulda, coulda, woulda, until I knew going back there was a no Emerging from the clouds, my head was hanging down Until my chin was raised, thank her that I was saved This one has the right energy This one has the right aura This one is flawless and for that I have to applaud her Forever corrupted and yet I've still been blessed (I'm blessed) Taking it day by day And I can't wait for what happens next cus [Hook] Thought I loved my ex but that was a myth I just loved her for her figure, she treated me just like 'ish' Tried to take me for a joke nar that never could run She tried to break me down What?

[Verse 1] I was on top of the mountain peak scouting the earth at 360 degrees Eyes everywhere saw the rain a mile off so I thought I'd shower bare MCs You can try, do or die, suicide, who am I? Don't dare test fate Brush aside parasites, brutalise alibis I'm not here to play I was ninja training in the temple with Dot he taught me about the skill within Watched, learned about spitjitsu now I merk on any riddim Himalayan peaks cold thats Cryomancer RainWorld native so hands off Knowingly I know I got gripped by Satan Lost my way then I found it Shaman [Hook] Came from a grove like CJ Came from a grove just like Big Smoke Travelled to the top of the mountain peak 1 on 1 training call that bespoke Came from a grove like Sweet Came from a grove like Ryder Selfish boy went away things changed and now I feel like an outsider [Verse 2] That's nomad striving, hilltop climbing, dark cave searching, thirst is yearning I need answers like Shenmu so I go and find them it's them I pursue Can read history not the future I soldier on Mayday trooper To Osaka shouts out producer, that's man like BOLUS Cross me and survive, know you got luck on your side If it was down to me you'd get ran out have nowhere to go nowhere to reside Send for me get spun Can't come to the dance yours is already done Don't let your boys talk you into beef, feed you to the beast, you're life get decreased AVALANCHE! That's rocks falling down the side of the mountain, answers found them, Hong Kong fountain, flicked in a penny and it didn't start drowning Prime example to a tiny sample, can't come ample get manhandled Outangled outbarred outversed could be high in the sky still get your cloud burst (CHU CHU BURST CHU CHU BURST) Don't wanna swing it with me with the words Don't wanna come through get your life cursed or end up dead in the back of a black hearse Don't forget the route of the map you're using It's your future that you're choosing Them risky plays can be confusing like picking from identical twin [Hook] Came from a grove like CJ Came from a grove just like Big Smoke Travelled to the top of the mountain peak 1 on 1 training call that bespoke Came from a grove like Sweet Came from a grove like Ryder Selfish boy went away things changed and now I feel like an outsider [Verse 3] Now I feel blessed surrounded by trees with Charlie but it ain't wave, forget wave, I'm a tsunami got many pieces to me that's origami That's layers on layers, that's sides on sides So don't try turn back time cus I'll go to my old ways no more Mr.Nice guy Cus I look back an I'm not satisfied but I know that is a good sign Progress improvement head of the movement why would I be stressing? I'm doing way better then last year, I call that progression I'll make smoke out the Vatican I'm adamant you can see it in the sky like javelin And I'm cut from a different cloth feed me to the lions I'll come out on top Seeing the sky from eye level, seeing life from above taught me a lot So forget walking in my shoes you couldn't walk in my socks Beefed the grim reaper 3 times I'm still standing on top That's cus I did what I had to came from the caves to reside not hide Then I run up on the mic with a bo staff and a big shield Shaolin techniques in a rave I wield Bun a fork in the road I'll put a fork in your face No collab with an MC that I don't rate Can't eat from my plate, didn't trek 1,000,000 miles just to make you great Came from the Grove, alone, deserted home just to make it know Got the weight of the Grove on my back With the City of Birmingham sitting on my shoulders Now that I've been and came back, know it's time to take the flag from the olders and run with it like a charge to attack To make sure that the rest of the world know us

[Verse 1] I was in Ireland searching heritage I was on my own moving like a heretic At peace with what I've done after searching for what I needed I was in Thailand culture tasting I was on my own in a baron wasteland Eating massaman thinking how to be a man Cus life comes fast And it hits hard And once its done its done The curtains close, legacy wrote that's how it goes, that's the code Why do bros still beef over postcodes? Why do they still beef over ends? It doesn't matter now Did it really matter back then? [Hook] I am a man but still a kid End of the day is what it is Call me mature call me what you want If you don't mean it please don't front I don't beg friend cus I lost all of mine 15 in 3 years I'm still doing fine RIP to those of my bros in the sky [Bridge] I was in Dubai with Arabians as I was dreaming of selling out stadiums Constantly chasing and never quitting Life is a game one day I'll be winning but that's a long time away I got no need to rush I'm tryna craft art but running out of paint for my brush [Spoken Voice] Currently the paint is empty and you see the brush? its dry And that happens from time to time You run out, take time out and then come back and get back to doing your thing whatever it may be Everybody has been in this situation before And when you come to a state of realisation and a solution of how to fix it you're back in the game Remember though it takes time So don't be afraid about trial and error [Verse 2] I was in Jamaica steel drum listening I felt the passion so I tried mimicking What I was witnessing Matching the intensity of what I was hearing The fire in my belly cus I've already been in the one of the beast my turn to eat and feast Reap what I sow, eat what I've earnt, analyse, contemplate what I've learnt but It's a lot to take in but So was growing up in a City of Sin I've already say it but I'll say it again My ends we weren't built to win Nobody famous where I lived We weren't meant to reach better things Don't tell me about it, fam I lived it [Hook] I am a man but still a kid End of the day is what it is Call me mature call me what you want If you don't mean it please don't front I don't beg friend cus I lost all of mine 15 in 3 years I'm still doing fine RIP to those of my bros in the sky [Bridge 2] 20 straight years round struggle and strive 20 straight years of grit and grind Do you know what its like to see you're Mom cry getting back from work in the dead of night? Head in her hands tryna make plans thinking of ways to get out Eyes are reds cheeks are the same but always put on a brave face [Spoken Voice] That right there is real, all of it If you've seen that you know exactly where I'm coming from I'm forever thankfully though but I've talked to much but I've said what I needed Lemme get back to lyrics [Verse 3] I was in Poland lone wolf riding I was out there bare Zlotys in my hand I was enjoying I was living like a king One man exploring Polish land Shoutout my shaman, that was Jacob he helped show me the way Eating donuts and jumping trains A memory made for the rest of days Travelling changed me I saw new things it remade me I met the King of Kings Out in Egypt, Gaza Strip It was '06 when I took that trip The world is big there's so much out there still can't process it's actually mad So many cultures to take in I guess I'm Forever Nomad [Hook] I am a man but still a kid End of the day is what it is Call me mature call me what you want If you don't mean it please don't front I don't beg friend cus I lost all of mine 15 in 3 years I'm still doing fine RIP to those of my bros in the sky
