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,

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.

You say you're working out but you can't bench the bars I spit

Got a massive pride don’t mistake it for my ego
Keep my mana on top and it follows wherever we go
You say you know my name cuz I’m no longer D low you see bro
I’m killing it, feeling it spilling it while I’m reeling it in
Tryna get back on my real shit so just pick up a pen
And spend the time to master your zen bro
If I don’t know the answer I’ve still got lots of info
Let me breathe while I’m free through these trees
Feel the breeze in my throat and your throat on my D
Grab a throne for this nigga
My girl got mad figure never seen a booty bigger so I snigger hah
Not a cocky mothafucka I’m just proud as
Of my fams and my friends and a round ass
Sound ass sleep is what I aim for
And if you want me then I’m chilling at the same door Mana over everything.
Chorus
Verse 3 (Andy Fisher)
Ring dinga linga ling buddy on my phone
What it do what it is bring that mana home
Got my ride and my hook bout to shut it down
Straight working on my tan yes I love it now
It don’t matter who you are don’t matter what you got
Pull a chair sit down have some of this grub
Mana be the realest food that I ever munched
Go live by it, that’s Mana over Everything.
Bridge
It’s mana over everything

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

Quickly from the city to the sea just to see if you miss me,

Chorus
Bridge
What if I quoted drake for you
Went on a desert date for you

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..

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

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

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

Don't fuck with 2D cuz my shit is too damn verbal
And now I'm moody like a teenage mutant turtle.

Won't open up their hearts cuz they're scared what they might find

Why dont you come and skank with me,
You got a knack for breaking hearts wont break the bank with me
I promise in the morning you'll be thanking me
This lust aint undercovers let the Blankets be

I’ll make your body full I see your tank on E
I know you got a lot on tomorrow, your working hard for your future,

Know you’re focused on the process of love life to suit ya,
But if you love life just for a love life then your whole life will shoot through you

Sometimes you got to go with the flow,
That current can be strong if you didn’t know,
If you try swim against it you'll just Sink below,
You try swim to the side then you'll hit the bone,
You struggling too hard you'll go and miss the zone,
This wave won’t last forever soon we'll bring it home,
for now we got to just
Ride it out, ride it out, come ride out that wave,
Lets forget that bullshit go hide out for days,
Leave the rat race for the vermin keep the high ground save face
I know you have a notion of what I’m bout to say,
Cuz this Love may be temporary but this time together will be ours forever,
and we’re all scared of change its just some know how to mask it better
And the thing is, change can only damage if you run from it,

Know Hopers
Verse 1
Let this be a little hope, for the no hopers
Let them know that to know hope, you needa go broke cuz
Only then you can see the bigger pic, you can't look at it so close up
So we dream big enough to cover the sky we got a spirit that almost does
Pre Chorus
From a generation raised on pipe dreams
Smoked up with our parents regret nightly
So we’re told we can do it all oooah
And we’ll never be afraid to fall oooah
But nothing’s gonna fall in our laps while we're kicking back ‘stead we gotta kick it back, grab for it give us that
Chorus
You make me wanna

I know I'm bout to try for a minute
You make me wanna
I think gonna
I know gonna strive for the finish line
You see it in my
Eyes I'm gonna
Try to hit the sky while I'm getting mine
I know that if all I do is hope then I won't get to where I wanna go in this life yeeeeaaah
Oohh and I don't know what's got in to me,
But I don't needa see an end to my enemies
It's allgood I love the hate in this vicinity
Hate means I'm all up in your face seems finicky,
Cuz this is all so subjective, one mans trash is another man’s treasure
One might pass on this young boys letter they tryna be the one I can do one better eh

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
