Step Step 04:28
Step Step Verse 1 It feels like this world’s getting ready That green light is all that I ahead see I be like, what if you hadn't met me I mean like, what if we never had the chance to Do what we wanna do Go where we wanna go See what we wanna see Before our time is running low Thin ice I'm running on You can see this one is so Focused on what matters though Cuz this and that ain't gonna blow Soon we'll look back and remember when Our love was the only good medicine The drugs come and go now it's evident That we're shooting up just like its heroin And there's no point in telling them, if they won't acknowledge your talent then We just go harder embarrass them The world is so full of these jealous men Bridge We're building from the ground up, x3 So lucky we've found love x3 It's nothing but our luck x3 We're staying grounded from the doubters that are out of our power yeah Chorus It’s like its one step forward, and two steps back But at least we're moving, hope you get that so Step step my brother, step step my sister Step step my lover step step my kisser Don’t know where we’re going, but I know that’s its cool, So long as I'm stepping with you Verse 2 It feel it, this world’s moving backwards If we let, it be run the cheats and bastards But we next, know that good things will happen To those who do good, and mean well, kinda like this female that I’m staring at And if we fall we'll still crawl forward on all fours Gotta walk before we can run then we soar for our lost cause That we're only just now finding behind all the blinding of all sorts like the laws courts and the wars fought, against our forethought But I’m thinking now, Bridge Chorus

Hobby 02:59
Hobby Verse 1 I been up for some time now Tryna figure out why these fellas think it’s the style now To stand a chick up just to lie down Type of shit make me raise an eyebrow Cuz I been chasing some real shit its offline now Know they gon’ feel this when they sign out Got my piece of the pie now Shit I’m eating right but by the looks of things I might bite down On these biting guys I might dine out Or get a takeaway when I take away the curtain front of their minds now So they can think clear then find out That there’s no place to hide now They keep on telling me get that 9 to 5 I don’t think they understand I’m not that type of guy I’d rather stay up late for these feelings And create all day and then get to plant me some seedlings Some money trees will be peeking Understand this I got me more buzz than a buzzy bee sting And no this ain’t no me thing, it’s a we thing. Let’s geddit. Chorus I probably drink too much like a hobby I probably fuck too much like a hobby I probably think too much like a hobby I guess I work too much man probably But this rap shit will never be a hobby Verse 2 I been planning this since I was 14, When I started rapping and labbing up till the morning, Walking to school still yawning, Working by the book is never for me, this Creative mind is always brainstorming through the pages of my own story, between the lions I’m roaring, and my pack is never packing up we're exploring, all this new found ground we break floors see, never sealed in by these glass ceilings. Or these doors g, I just see a wall and then claw free, shit'll ease the pain like morphine. Oh! My mama told me it ain’t about the cash no Cuz that greed will lock you up I’m talking Alcatraz I aint playing round boy trust me I’m making moves, while they’re dozing off don’t get enough sleep, too busy chasing these funds see. Give 0 fucks unless I’m fucking. True well that’s something. And no this ain’t a just one thing, this a us thing hah, let’s go. Chorus

Ice Cream Verse 1 Yes there's no place that I'd rather be When we're cruising in the summer sun That irie music blasting through the speakers Ya Feel it move you make your body jump With ya suntanned skinned don’t need no other one Hotter than the hottest run Sweeter than a lollie hun’ Say ya need it so I got it done I’m running circles for ya hole soul gonna make a brother come Quickly from the city to the sea just to see if you miss me, I will follow you by the trail of the lust that you give me, so pretty when you're giggly, feening for my love she addicted, that sweat drip as our bodies rock I’m lickin’ it up with some whipped cream mmm hahah Chorus Why don’t you come and cool down See your sweating and your breathing hot Think you’re in the mood now So wont you come give me all that you got I’m acting the fool now, But ‘ey I guess it's worth a shot Your making me drool out, guess I'm getting thirsty for a little drop I want of some of that Come gimme your Let me lick you down when ya feeling hot Verse 2 Your making me melt baby You better get a taste before I'm gone You can't be good for my health baby But when I’m there you can be sure it's Sure it's on And Fuck the love Its all for the fun Them sweet nothings in my ear don't know where you get your stories from But you can lie to me, if you'll just lie with me, It’s like some torture hun waiting for your call to come woah Chorus Bridge What if I quoted drake for you Went on a desert date for you Served it up on a plate for you Know I'm sweeter than birthday cake for you Don’t ever make me go and wait for you Road runner is how I been chasing you Won't you come and give me the basics boo All I need is one little taste of you Chorus

I Can't See 03:47
I Can’t See Verse 1 Blinded by the headlights in my iris I'm finding The future is looking brightened by the Prospect of some kindness To a lonesome soul slighted misguided. It's hard to think much further than tomorrow When it all depends on if you've got a hand to borrow It's Hard to walk alone no one to talk you off the edge to call your cornerstone And the road I chose is known to grow so lonely with no voice to call me home Karanga Mai Ra. Karanga mai Ra. Her voice it guides through the darkness I’m tryna find her Born a fighter aka the defiler On some Peter pan shit living young till we die yaa Chorus We stay running running running from the future But it's coming coming coming there's nothing we can do ta change that, But its sudden, now we’ve past the point of no return So we're living fast but we fuck slow Now the only way is up though yeah. Verse 2 All these rappers got the god complex But me I'm just a man tryna be the man honest Ya see I'm just a man tryna beat the man and conquest, I'll be raising both hands getting lost palmless Asking what its all for just to make a Forbes list I say fuck this Nope. I gotta find it my own way, this time Imma drive in my own lane It's still mana everything, but that money talks every time that I donate Say only love ‘em for the night when she's riding my pony But then I'm left to my lonely, wonder why she ain’t call me, same shit different story.. Chorus

Peace Pipes 04:08
Peace Pipes Verse 1 Just another voice that is never heard Just a whisper above the noise while they're getting turnt He sits as the tables turn He just can't wait for his doesn't know how to face the earth All he knows is that he wants to stay true and his main concern Is to find out who he is and stick to it Tryna learn his native tongue, can't seem to get fluent Lost in translation of a two world navigation When the day just seems faithless guess He decides to sit through it Through the lights and flashes He's finding home Though his thoughts might be backwards he's got the soul Hell never never preach it less he practice So the masses can find what their path is I'm telling you Its time to go So get up now while you still can We're living once so just jump up and show them you won't bend To the pressure of the hopeless We're bout change this world up but till then man we'll be smoking peace pipes Chorus We'll be smoking peace pipes Cuz I don’t wanna be a wanna be I just wanna be what I wanna be We'll be smoking peace pipes I won't worry bout where I wanna be Just worry bout what's in front of me Verse 2 This mixed blood mixed with mixed love Always been proud of who I am don't get it mixed up Its nothing to fix up it’s more of a jigsaw not a stigma this sense of purpose is being me that’s all I can think of yeah but I remember those looks from my father Like who do you think you are you forgot where you started? Cuz it seems like your ashamed of what seems white, you guard it, You deny your skin type I'm your cultural martyr That’s not it though, I’ve been confused from the get go Got love for my whakapapa both sides they cling so Close to my heart, am I an Anglo don’t think so, Calling myself a chief to stand up better never sink though, So get up now while you still can We're living once so just jump up and show them you won't bend To the pressure of the hopeless I’m bout to show the world who I am but till then man we'll be smoking peace pipes Chorus Bridge Its the ink on my mothers chin, its the blood through my veins and its pumping in, yes its the call of the dawn hear it on the wind, Its the fall of the doubt among other things, X2 It's the feathers on my chest and I’m loving it, Its the tartan that I’m starting with this knowledge It's the words of the treaty put in Parliament Now I know what the problem is so I'm bout to abolish it smoke it up with our peace pipes Chorus

Love Bite 04:01
Love Bite Verse 1 3 years I been down Then you came on in and then grabbed my hand and you won't let go and I thank you mam Cuz I've think I'm on the mend now I been needing some and this love been pondering really what it is I see it does exist so let your defense down Cuz we live in a time where we can't decide if we want to ride or if we want to drive so we sit on the side line, Never get our feet wet, for fear that we'll be set in some deep depth, cant breath yes but it's better than a heart filled with regret right Pre Chorus If I dared to show myself would you show me you Girl I been feeling lonely too Nobody else I wanna share these goals with too girl it's only you its only you Chorus It seems that half of us are scared to show our selves I swear the other half don’t even know themselves End up sitting waiting for somebody else to help And I’m done with runnin’ round, cuz I think I love her now I’m feeling it, I’m revealing Never had nothing realer than, the feelings that I'm feeling man Got a love bite I’m bout to reel it in. Verse 2 1 year it's been now Since its been you and me and you stole my heart but you kept it safe your my Noah’s ark When those dark clouds open out, All the tears I shed will be washed away, Now that I got you and you got me babe Were lovers and best friends now And I’m shit scared and I'm terrified, but my mama told me don’t be scared of life so I’m holding back nothing now. And if its too much then don’t think about it, you refuse to see then you'll sink and drown it so lets be honest girl Pre Chorus Chorus Not chasing dreams we chasing goals Not chasing dreams we just chasing goals They dream of it but we doing it They dream of it but we doing it If we start it then we'll go through with it We got our hearts set so let’s do this shit Chorus

C.H.I.E.F 03:58
C.H.I.E.F Verse 1 What does it mean, to be a chief among people Who don't even know, if they should believe what the see though Need someone to tell them what's what No wonder why they love to gossip Out of touch with life so they just watch it They just sit back and look from the top spot But not us though, we got that gusto to just go Hard till we achieve what we want bro Till we got it sussed we'll bust forth in front so We’ll be the leaders of the pack, these wolfs just can't touch yo From the placenta to the center stage, Searching everyday tryna find a better way To eat right, no curve balls tryna get it straight, This young chiefs bout to get a plate yeup Chorus I Got these feathers on my sleeve so you know that imma chief, Dont matter what your believe, you sell it then you'll achieve Repeat first half of verse 1 Verse 2 And I know I can't turn back now This inner chief won't let me I've earnt that ground And when we build someone will go burn that down But we deserve the world you heard that now Remember when the nature of a human being, was being one with nature, now who can see it Now we can't spare some change so we can change up, Too busy chasing fame in vain and ending chained up. Whoh. Chorus Bridge Now I can see, now that the fog has just lifted From the land to the sea, I know that I’m assisted Upon this journey, no matter the friction I’m breaking out of this colony no more Stuck in the system Nope, I'm living off a hope, Its keeping me afloat when I need a descent dose Lack of freedom make me choke now I'm coming up gasping for air You know I didn't ask to be here, I just Had to go and take it Chorus

Culture 04:08
Culture Verse 1 Some do this for the money and the fame and the girls, and the praise what’s it worth, to a man born to the earth with a purpose, No I dont want the world, just a chance to be me, to be free from the stress of money and the greed I guess I’m tryna Let my mama know I can support if she need it, A struggling writer inspired this force that I’m feeding Her crying from money troubles like torture I feel it Was too young too understand it was all for the freedom She taught me to follow passion not tomorrow’s fashion, Not to worry if time and money is borrowed grab it, fuck it Do what you have to, make sure you can just use the time you got before it vanish yeah Chorus I’m way too high to be low key Too laid back to lie down Way too on it to fall off too faded to burn out So Imma just do my thing, in an industry full of them vultures, Cuz this is all for the, this is all for the culture, cuz this is all for the, born for the motherfuckin culture Verse 2 Some may ask what this life can do for them, but I’m asking, That’s the last thing, I’d expect from this cold world so jarring. Some may want the material but me I’m here to add to this shit boy, bit by bit boy. That’s just it boy Anything more I destroy Let these people know that I was born for this gig bro, Cuz my mind is grounded like a mine gone explode, Big slope is how this shit feels how that biz go Ups and downs they telling me to quit don’t get the hint though.. never Chorus Bridge No one ever said this would be easy So I guess I should have for seen it. But my heart beats hard for the path I’m on So I continue with this Chief shit So when them black birds get to circling, Scavenging off of what we make Imma stop the tape kick em off the plane Cuz this is something you cannot replace I'm saying Chorus
