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

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 02:47

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

about

This one is a bit of a different one for me, because this is my first ever rap album / release. I may not be the greatest but I sure am proud of each of these songs.
I also decided to include the instrumentals if you want to practice your bars on them, or want to rap along with me. And also since these are my favourite tracks as of recent.

I hope yous like it, especially with this new kind of sub-direction I'm going in.
Much love, and stay creative.
See yous in a bit.
