INNER SELF

gonna grow if i let the old go
starting slow
on my own
head low alone on the road
found myself on the way
praying for a safe journey
i hope i'm okay
one of these days i'll be trying
climbing to the higher state
i'll escape this old earth
angel wings on my shoulder blades
letting faith take me through
take its hands
gonna do what it planned
gonna do what i can
with this time i have left
keep my hand on my chest
blessed from the start with a true heart
blue, red, white
golden sun and the three stars
you and i
hold my hand and we'll get far
work hard play harder
keep close reach farther
camaraderie with my brother
shoutout to my father and my mother
my family got each other
filipino blood
made of love
from above
(inner self)
inner self
mmmm
find my inner self
inner self
mmm
find my inner self
don't believe in ghosts but i see pure spirit
gotta watch the clock
see the time fly by by the minute
butterscotch skin
seeping power from within
i'm the gwapo prince
i'm the second to the king
i am me
im unique
that's who i seek
grasp what was lost
what was taken from me
music is my medicine
it's what makes me free
inherently heaven sent
i am who i be
that's my psyche
en voyage
soul searching
scout my inner self
mental health in check
spiritual wealth i question
divine intervention
red sea around me when i was delivered
she would've died if i wasn't God's given
i am my own genesis
my beginning
i won't stop winning
light never dimming
fire within me
this my beginning
inner self
mmm
find my inner self
inner self
mmm
find my inner self

IDENTITY

keep my day ones close
my brother nearer
shoutouts to tyne and wear
there ain’t no place i’d rather be
in these streets since i was three
whitley bay next to the sea
chilly breeze comes greeting me
promenade all lined with green
what a sight to see
therapy leaks from the pen
mental amendment
love for music never ending
talent came inherited
life is tough
i'm bearing it
heaven sent
blessings in my blood
i thank god above
benching off my troubles
space out in my bubble
stay nothing more than humble
huddle up with cuddles
keep my heart warm
conform my spirit through my lyrics
writing look like hieroglyphics
i am my own harshest critic
verbally empirical
living a riddled miracle
fiddling with the rings on my fingers
little by little
turn from pawn to a king
these jawns tickle me pink
scribble out what i think
till the pen runs out of ink
uh
seek the heart of gold until i grow old
soon the future unfolds
speak from the soul until my body erodes
i’m unique
one of a kind with an antique mind
bidding time until i die
don’t you cry when i’m gone
say goodbye before i'm six feet deep
separate lives in my sleep
reaching inside my metaphysical dreams
it’s obscene
philippines in my genes
feel like a hundred degrees
producing beats on my screen
underground in the scene
provide the new sound
up the volume play it loud and gather a crowd
give me my crown now
vow to stay true to my name
originate my own creations
on my newfound wave
this world is my stage
jot my words on the staves of the page
melanin skin
beige on my face
pinoy raised
stop the tape
rewind and replay
i’ll be grinding all day by day until i rest in my grave

GROUNDHOG DAYZ
02:28

feel alive when i stay inside
locked up but my mind thrives while i scribe lines
sunlight greets me with a blinding
in my prime when the moon’s up
shining
got a twinkle in my eyes with the stars
spark in my heart
got a passion from the start
auditory arts and it runs through the fam
spam eggs rice when i’m breaking the fast
flash from the past
smile through the mask from the times that i had
groundhog days but my head's in the skies
gen on the rise with his hands on the prize
my soul priceless
card no cash
born in the east but the north’s where i’m at
novice at the craft with a stash full of drafts
brown all round
philippine found sound (let's get it)
in the house too much
i miss the pavement
days don’t change but my ways get a facelift
embracing all the graces i was blessed with
the taste of my creatives and my patience
rain up on the window when i'm latent
show up on your pages when i make it
praying for the day when i will take it
not for granted
nor the payment
just another layman tryna get a steady pace in
screen up on my face
jack of all trading it
staying up till late
makes my eyes carry weight
cave into my seat
feel the pain on repeat
savouring my sleep
snatching bags in my dreams
scribbles on my back
looking like a tiger patch
patterns on the page
cracks on the path when i step forward
when i step forward

DEFINITION

see me busy on the daily
free when it's midnight
pacing on my two feet
peace when my head high
verses take a few weeks
speak truth
gen the living proof of an underdog
keep it grizzy with the brown coat
comfort when it's chilly on the outskirts
keep me warm with a sweatshirt
stay inside
take a stride in the fresh air
deep breath
exhale when i press
brother got my back
push me for my best
keep it close to my chest
proud of my progression
gotta keep a trust in the process
grasp till my callus show from the weight
itchy fingers in the crates
linger in my space till the dawn breaks
cooking up a plate
like a meal for your ears
gen is hungry for the game
not a race to the fame
but a winner all the same
definition of my name
taller than my father like navy
spirit kinda blue like davis
lines on my skin like a pastry
love sweet and savoury
second son in line
you can call me gracious
jack of all trade asian
philippine made
like a fresh graham cake
i'm a cut above the rest
like a dj on the decks
share my love between my friends
my legacy will never end
(yeah)
you can’t pretend that i’m the next best
north east on the map
you can’t contest this
reminisce the early days of my creative ways
know my place of where i came
and overwrite my fate
descendant of a knighthood
imma battle for my lane
wear an apron round my nape while i be cooking a buffet
like a feast for your ears
gen a glutton for the game
and a winner all the same
definition of my name
