Would you mind if I took a second to vent? Would you respect me as a man if I gave you anything less than me? My delusions of grandeur are far bigger than your assumptions Far past the comprehension and narcissism I really do feel like Im the faeces you perceive me to be Lay your thoughts still I step forth with course direction This self-esteem A worthy weapon to these obstacles Ive grown accustomed What I do not speak into existence will only fall by the waist side Waste not want, wanting not to be a waste is only a crime to The disheartened crowd Simmer down, simmer down Would it be selfish if I prayed for patience When the only time I do is when my soul feels vacant?

Where should I begin? Man upon a mission still a martyr for the vision Had to find my voice when the people wouldnt listen Sacrifice my peace know my level double digits I sacrifice my pride rather die than lose my spirit Had to take a minute let my lyrics match my mind frame Funny how these bars had me trapped inside a mind state If I see the mornin Im just happy Im alive Stomach cut from bottles that I harboured deep inside Still a broken glass, aint no trippin over spilled milk How many times you fake it just to show you the real deal How many you inspire leave you out the conversation How many mini mes do it take to be the greatest Let them take my flesh if it means I feed the nation, mh Let me kick my feet up and admire my creation, uh School of hard knocks pay my dues and graduate them Come a long way from hopping fences at the station Pull up entrance like my exit, I just came to show face Winter losses made me humble but Im falling from grace Know Im talking bout the action when youre running in place We made something out of nothing just a regular day We made something out of nothing no applause for that Mama do that every day and no awards for that Ive tried, it was hard, so unfortunate Scars heal even when they say theyre permanent I was happy at my lowest cause I learn from it I made hits out my sadness had to earn from it I might cop a Maserati just to learn in it I might cop the Maserati just to swerve in it Where do I begin? H-O-X-T-O-N, thats what Ive been, uh I had to get it, aint no slipping where I live, uh I had to wake them, they were sleeping on a kid, uh Wait Where do I begin? H-O-X-T-O-N, thats what Ive been, mh I had to get it, aint no slipping where I live, uh I had to wake them, they were sleeping on a kid, uh
yeah yeah, I get it, I understand. It’s fine. It’s totally understandable feeling an instant connection or attraction to someone or wanting the affection of a partner I get it I understand. I wonder what the uncertainty feels like. Constantly walking the fine line of infatuation. We seem to give so care and much attention to perfect strangers actively helping them indulge in their own narcissism. Assembling in masses to fall prey to the beck and call of the people we consider amongst the beautiful, the cool, the interesting. All the attention might be, what fuels the insecurity. so many longing to give you some kind of feeling. physical, emotional, mental. Anything. You always seem to make the wrong choices. Why are you so afraid of being alone? hmm… I’ve never found my self much of a party goer She echoes compliments in my name despite the fact I hardly know Her core the colour yellow, weather sunshine or stain who cares, her petals shape a leos mane or gust of cluttered leaves and such Stuttered speech and awkward stares. She claims her feet are planted but her roots seem to be hardly here. We long to find our selves. Alone to delve deeper into common grounds. Two perfect strangers, the musics loud I watch her mouth. Her speech is wayward. Body language tells a perfect tale of two playful simbas I search for symbols of attraction or a means of lust. I crack a joke, she cracks a smile and claims I play too much. Laughs again pats my arm and transitions to a lingered touch I attempt to wow her with amateur philosophy speak in riddles as if i care about the state of Syrias democracy. The news is fickle. People change. Life is strange that way. We ghost our selves, mourning as we lay awake. I think too far ahead, my mind has wondered. To this second chance at a first impression I read expressions like a mirror. Her voice is new, but her face familiar It must be twitter. Distance between us now mirrors the size of the earth we stand on. Minutes stand still, Still we do not question where the times gone. She said do you believe in love? I said does a requiem dream? We crave for the chance to trance in love like hits of opium. see, Ita so addictive. Karl Marx once said,religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature. The heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions It is the opium, of the people. But to Marx I argue is it religion or love? Love has the same effects on the brain as taking cocaine. Power, greed, money. It is that pleasure of dopamine that fuels corruption a selfish instinct to want and have. In conclusion I argue, it isnt religion that is the opium of the people. It is love. LOVE! We know, this world is small and this we know come waltz with me before you go X 8 I saw her heart drop to her stomach as she described her love for the wind…. The wind would lay with me, shoot the most gentle breeze through my petals. Pull my interest and never question where I stem from. Mutually sharing love, as he would share me and my interests simultaneously. Through my petals he would pump an ecstasy I would fiend after every hit. Bruising, I would excuse and still fiend after every hit. Losing. Feeling till the rush of pain felt more a numbing bliss. My memory is not what it used to be. Empathy. I stare at her with perfect empathy I notice every imperfection, questioning how someone so perfect can be so flawed she was the unforeseen picture of a princess after the happily ever after. the remnants of Rembrandt’s pallet the Daisy who envied the thorns of a rose a bouquet of statements like “the world just doesn’t understand me” I told her understanding is half the battle what ever that means… it sounded nice or “Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.” consider that, I wanted nothing more than to place the weight her world on my back at las’ we stand fractions away from an action we’ve anticipated whole heartedly from hello; I notice her every detail the goose bumps on her skin I proceed with a hug simply to shelter from the wind I feel her blood pumping through her flesh and envy it’s presence lean in for kiss a picturesque moment in frame heart pumping harmonious fear with every second she stopped me.. and said I didn’t catch your name.

I used to walk past a cemetery On a pathway to my boys house to Sit, get lifted and dream about How we wanted to live. Irony In actions. Fractions of honesty Divide People into factions Those who will And those that actually will I guess things aren’t what they used to be Memory lane had the yellow bricks removed And The pavements now seem stained With cigarette ash and shards of broken Glass Smells like home The sirens A familiar melody. But doesn’t sound the same Without the nickelodeon theme tunes I would To drown out sounds.

As humans Instinctively we adapt to survive Or destroy. Same difference I wonder why we choose to stay in the dark Like the pigment of Stevie’s vision but some Love the blind folds of ignorance It’s a shame to see, the spiralling direction Of self expression. jaded eyes see Only see jaded solutions Money Money Money shall rain down On our daughters and we shall applaud And cheer like the the arches in their back Coupled with the rhythmic patterns of There gyrating hips can summon condensation Honey Honey Honey brown skin will be bleached To be appreciated. Hungry Hungry Hungry Stomaches will call our brothers to arms Over pussy weed money because it sells And thats all we know I am no martyr for a message I’m no better but know better One body, a shoulder to lean A head and mouth to speak Truths piercing your flesh A leg or two to stand on Whenever in need. And They still got my niggas hanging from the trees Can’t see the truth when it’s 6 feet deep x2 Like I really worried about nothing I swear I aint really worried about nothing

We no longer need to close our fists for the revolution. The open palm may show you, our separation is man made. Made in aid of cementing thoughts that turn John Doe to Adolf. Where they see we weeds we see seeds see We no longer need to close our fists for the revolution. I’ve seen flowers grow and petals fall from mountains surrounded by estates and suburban terrace housing. Heard notions of positivity discarded like pieces of puzzles. Muzzled echoes of greatness in fear Society may not feel the same elations. We no longer need to close our fists for the revolution We must be heard. From the depths of our bellies From the lump in our throats When questioned on our perceptions But fail to mention. We must continue to be and be in unison. Be and be in unison. Like troops with with lowered arms and open palms. We no longer need to close our fists for the revolution Its amazing. To witness the hierarchy of power you deem acceptable How the masses would rather Hand decisions to the individuals Individuals back to masses In termly political rituals Stand beside me. Not as followers as thinkers So we no longer have to look Up for guidance we can look Side by side What side are you on. We are no different No age No class No Color No Race Like troops with with lowered arms and open palms. Where they see we weeds we see seeds see We no longer need to close our fists for the revolution Oh he must be worthless if his occupation doesn’t match your level of patients Oh he must be urban if his cadence drops vowels lower than where his trousers sit. Oh he must be They don’t know my history Oh he must be They don’t know my history For the knowledge they ripped it out the pages call us thugs and beasts when we protest on stations because embedding of thoughts is what has a nigger run a nigger to the slave ships Stop snitching. Patience All I ask is patience Fear the brother on my shoulder Because he could take my life right now And we act like we don’t know no better. I so solemnly swear No I don’t really give a fuck No I don’t really give a fuck One hand up, other hand gripped on my nuts shake shake man I spent your advance on my lunch No I don’t really give a fuck No I don’t really give a fuck One hand up, other hand gripped on my nuts shake shake man I spent your advance on my lunch You can’t say that, you can’t say no you can’t black you can’t say My brother what you afraid of? we ain’t got to cry no more My brother what you afraid of? we ain’t got to cry no more My brother what you afraid of? we ain’t got to hide no more My brother what you afraid of? we ain’t got to die no more
Im burning up in you And you burn slow, you do Into my ocean And we sailed through Your wind burning Like two sunken souls do Spilling into you, my love Will it take me to, true love?

Ooh, this stuff is there like lust Is spilling into you enough? Ooh, this stuff is there like lust Is spilling into you enough? Is spilling into you enough? I cant find the words to save the day for you And I dont really think that thats my place for you Part the reason why the world weighs on you But Im just happy that I knew I gained from you You would think the skin Im in was made for you You tell me your truth and Im a slave for you See me spill loosely lyrics and useless truthers, huh I see you perfect, I see me flawed and mix my words Misdirect, reflects, I consider my egos worthless If everything I give is only based upon your worth I would tell you everything I needed to confess Think about me more the world could think about me less Never said these words, forever lost in my regrets Spilling deeper in these notions, oceans decorate your flesh

You claim I’m just 5ft charm with an accent My way with words has nothing to do with the attraction A one on one with a one of one You gave me a second but I’d be happy with a fraction A book worm with a tell-tale heart We could Edgar Allan Po’ up for the potency Clued up to the trap, you said my lies sound like poetry Couldn’t deny the fact I was startled by your honesty You probably have me mapped, I ran out of apologies Couldn’t begin to count all the fucks you said you don’t give I assure you have my focus. Reassured By the change you give to homeless That’s a mighty big heart, any room For the hopeless romantic poet plotting heights at his lowest? Still spinning from conversations we haven’t finished There’s no use in us pretending May I lower my defences? Tell the truth My pride my defendant Serve my life in a sentence Stay a night, lose the friendship Say the cycle is endless You ever tried trusting before you love? You ever tried knowing before you touch? I see your exterior, cold as when summer went Youve heard this before, just not as eloquent Deja Vu We could be great together We could be Yoko and Lennon We could be we forever On top of the world We could create a family Stop all war and poverty Lay in bed on top of me And love till we die Love Love, love, love Love, love Days in daze, my thoughts on you, said your guard was bulletproof Since Ive nothing left to lose, could we build upon the truth? Let me give you all your flowers while you’re still alive to tell them That you’re thankful for their scent Use my ears just like a diary and I promise not tell Daddy could’ve taught you better but your momma raised you well This is not a love song, this is not a love song This is not a love song, this is not a love song This is not a love song, this is a love intervention This is a love intervention My pockets empty enough to rest your heart in Intercourse our new catharsis, flowers for dearly departed Feelings of being guarded, I was still pushing daisy You said my EP was decent, I still thanked you for listening Since people consider pressing play part of the privilege We sat under stars, watched the world planet demise Carve our initials in earth so the world knows that we tried You dont need the validation Kindness for congratulations is hard to trust Open up, you pull up, I roll up You dont smoke, Im more blunt Talked Xs instead of kissing hugged and said our goodbyes Tongue tied, imagining tongues tied to sweet nothings Make my heart your home Let me drown in your opulence Let me drown in your-- All I ask, if you can, hold me down Show me love through the turbulence You ever tried trusting before you love? Knowing before you touch? Loving before you... Listening before you lust? Dialogue, body language Learn a lesson in us Drowning inside your mental Liquid like conversation This is not love song, this a love intervention This is a love intervention This is a love intervention This is a love intervention
Look at all the seeds I done sowed Somebody call the reaper for me Shit is getting old I never gave respect to a wolf in sheep’s clothes I never shared a bed with a lady who weren’t woke Lord knows Ok x 4 You know i’m lying Could have Martin Luther King But had dreams of King of Diamonds Adele was chasing pavements I was busy ducking sirens Could never play a dull boy Please i’m busy shinning Can’t rewrite the past No way that’s a long story Saw roots before I saw Toy Story I’ve seen pictures where They left a nigga’s guts gory So I never gave thanks they Took the land from me Oh, cut the cheque All I want is 40 acre’s A mule and my respect All I want is hard food My dues and diligence Why we only shed a tear when Blood spills in the west I got these chains on me Feel like mansa, feel like musa Took this gold from me Feel like Midas with the touch Might clutch this rosary No more interviews for free they Took this gold from me This is big lips, hands still Swinging from my nuts I’ve been high through all My lows, so i’m belligerent As fuck. i’m from the land where Walking like your shook could get you Touched. 10 toes, to the pavement Want a ride? then saddle up I can tell you about the struggle I’m from the culture where we bow To greet our mothers. My daddy Taught me nothing free except the knowledge We taking notes and send that change Back to our brothers. Oh you silly Motherf— Cut the chat, cut the cheque All I want is 40 acres a mule and My respect. No apologies for my cadence Tempered words have got me vex Want it now, I want all my dividends We aint buddies, we aint friends I’ll take it all back for the ends Gimme Gimme that Another penny for your thoughts Never needed that. Tears don’t dry on their own I’m going back to black I just lost another Brother so i’m back in black Look at all the seeds I done sowed Somebody call the reaper for me Shit is getting old I never gave respect to a wolf in sheep’s clothes I never shared a bed with a lady who weren’t woke Lord knows Oh, you want it factual. The destruction of my people Wasn’t tactical. Found my patience and peace Inside of parables. Till I figured were far too gone To be rational. Feeling like Chris Ofili in some finger paint Painting pictures on the same text books where toby Limped away, don’t. Bite the hand that feeds when You’re scraping of my dinner plate. Don’t act surprised I’ve been this way Coping I’m a slave for this path I’ve chosen No escape from these Sleepless moments Oh coping I’ve tried my best I’ve lied my best This curse is mine
Pillow talk way too risky I cant trust these moments You might use them against me Make me more like the old me, phoney Dick might make you distant Slowly I might lose my focus Keep coming back like Jehovahs Witness baptised in your ocean Argue first, that dont work Love is war, in reverse Pain is pleasure and rehearsed I was hopeful at my worst Thirsty thirsty, sans serif or cursive Way more honest in person Youll find you in my verses and I find me in your mercy Dig deep till we both in hearses I might let you in Forgive my future sins yeah Soak it up oh soak it up Burn me like your cigarettes Yeye I werent just your new regret Didnt feel words they hurt me with them Didnt really think you intend to offend But I said Id never let one hurt me again Swerve the offence, serve the pretence Cant play ball like Fergie and them Homegrown truths cant focus on them Cause Im lonely again, phoning again Zoning again Drunk text, drunk kiss, drunk sex Lovesick, love lust, love less Late night, lay cool, latex Dont know peace but I know patience Lie to me slowly, mind you control me Ive seen the real you act like you know me Grind on me closely, dont get too cosy If youve seen the real me then why dont you show me Soak it up oh soak it up This is now what weve become Pressure makes fun of love It hurts but thats just what it was I might let you in Forgive my future sins yeah I might let you in Forgive my future sins yeah
I swim deep in liquor and shallow conversations Them LA nights a trip. I remember. You would tell me. I mean how could I forget. I often waited for your text. Paragraphs and paragraphs Of I could only wish. All before I felt your lips. All before I felt you drip. Drip feed me food for thought. I was starving. I was cold I’ve been lonely. Ive been told Love might wander Wont get lost. Where you going? What you need? You yell back your paranoia I turn up the jodeci. And roll up some marijuana I know you dont really smoke But you took a couple tokes Must be stressed out Maybe I can ease the pressure. I can tell that you been I can tell that you been Stressed out Shaé I just got 700 pennies at my last show But imma spend it all on you Came here wearing nothing but my ego But I can take it off for you My grain pepper my scalp nappy The world is too loud and my head hurts The silence go down like Titanic. Swim good In that good good Like why panic? The intimacy don’t make you feel love? Quite tragic How you only came around When I kept you coming More apparent. Were too impatient to Love like parents You parrot my every thought A parody of your emotion Like Where you going? What you need? You yell back your paranoia I turn up the jodeci. And roll up some marijuana I know you dont really smoke But you took a couple tokes Must be stressed out These flowers cost me 700 pennies, I could never put a price on your thoughts It cost too much. To pay you anymore attention Id be fool in love. Maybe ive fallen. For the allure of. Man made mistakes So you could lose some decorum and feel Better the morning. Chrorus
OBONGJAYAR I’ve showed you my darkness Fed you my flesh You made anthems of my tears Im no super human I can’t save you and save my self Im no super human Super MICHAELA COEL I built my ideals on standards I learned as an infant and then imagined my own, like most curious teenagers no? I watched my peers walk a path far different to mine and grew more confident with my own solitude Politics, love, manhood and sexuality I discovered like a blind lamb in the hands of a unfamiliar shepherd With coloured pigmentation you must accept that your historically pivotal leaders will more than likely be killed With darker pigmentation you become an example of exoticism under a western microscope Elements of your identity appropriated and sold back to you with less than clever tag lines And through it all you must smile And continue to dance Yeah keep dancing Knowing the revenge will taste so much sweeter once you’ve made it
I was told: never marry a muse, meant many things But probably to keep illusions intact I mean who likes the truth anyway? The only thing Ive ever known to share thornes with roses Ramble but keep it all to myself Fish that swim shallow beg to be caught Tangled in nets thrown to water by the nosy Mind your own, Company could be sweet Ive been known to cut ties But real wives no wise men still need advice Sometimes I wish talking to you was easier The writers curse is to never feel solitude If they can write words, theyre … Never mind Pluck your petals, Pluck my petals until theres nothing left and so were Scared and bare like newborns or buried seeds Lets begin again You said, To love a man, you must love all of his flaws Another bedroom wall Another face in the pillowcase I dont recognise Laid bare next to a stranger like newborns without the innocence My feet dangle off the edge of another relapse Hunting for love like opium and lapse of lost souls That are just like me with a little more hope If what you say is true I admire your patience Women should be more careful with the men that they pick But to love a man you must love all of his flaws As you would say, To give your heart is to understand it may be broken But I cant fix these soiled thoughts if you wont let down your guard -Then I wear my flaws on the surface like memories beneath scars Then cover them with outfits made of false confidence and au revoirs Merely a man made of mistakes stitched together with good intentions Sharing earth with other angels who dont deserve their wings, you mentioned Manipulation, love and lies all go hand in hand Who hurt you? Who hurt you? You said, you’re constantly ready to be thrown away to excuses Who hurt you? You said, to be with...to be happy, you cannot be mutually exclusive You said, it’s virtually impossible to accommodate without losing value in self value You said, I want to be with someone who makes me happy, Someone who appreciates me for who I am Someone who is proud to be with me and wants people to know about it Who hurt you? Was it me?

I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to shoot Ive come way too far to play these games with you Utopia My paradise is burning You hate to see that Im learning My fears get thrown in the furnace I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to shoot My fingers dance around the barrel A barrel full of laughter The trees loud enough to make me paro They tried to throw stones on my shadow My posture more van gogh Attire more regal I dress like a man of the people A crown on my chest I see death through the people I see death and just spud him I don’t fear no evil I don’t say I’m sorry Regret was my teacher Now they look at They look at me like their speaker I guess I should speak up When it’s time to speak they are no show vocal Chords stressed from progress Ten stacks on practice.

My star sign stubborn My minds been made Be the greatest or nothing I was so sure, my skin supple like steel That spotlight mine.

Me and my passion stood adjacent My only worry she look at me like we strangers I’ve seen you naked when your heart was still vacant Youve seen me weak enough to tell you we might make it Thats what we wanted. If a nigga kills a nigga That’s one more nigga for the profit One less one less body in a prison One less, one less story bout’ a victim Channel 5 paint as the killer Pay me like the winner Hope that keep me silent Hope they keep me silent So much power in my silence It was nights like this It was days like those I would sit in my room Cross legged and focused Listening to the blues That boo boo davis Mama Im so tired All sounds like the same shit I cried so much, took the salt from my pores Rub the sweat in my wounds Made a vow for the cause You can take my life they gone remember me more As a man of my action as a man of my words

It’s only the bruddas we trust They chitter, they chatter they think that badder But that dont get none of you paid Still I’m looking for a challenge, while im building on my balance A couple feelings got an abandoned Heart colder than a bando Oh wait that’s your man doe Won’t hesitate to get him handled Henny got me feeling rambo Painting pictures like im van goh Poor traits on a canvas. Basquiats in the mansion She don’t love me cause I’m handsome Still i hold the pussy ransom Me on my lonely, kenzo sleeve so cosy Lungs stay smokey. Know I cant lack. They know me now Face so bait. I roll deep Big no bag no fashion Suttin light to put in the racks in Lights camera no action. All talk and no savage What you flossing on gram with? I just double down in taxes Cop my mama something fancy Hid the rest inside the mattress Wakanda rich. Aspirations x2 Stacking digits on a slow grind, always been a man of patience Only winners at the table. We don’t owe your boy no favours. brothers still killing brothers please don’t let the cain get able BEAT 3 Either way I’m here forever they know that May not pose for the kodak but gave you wisdom like Yoda Found bass in your vocal but that dont make you no solider Winter made you grow colder, finding money for heat No that was no easy feet. Until I did it myself I came in on my lonely and Mother Natured my health Bet that they miss the old me. The one they didn’t support Bet they copy the blueprint and try forget me of course. Until I switch the cadence, never seen no vacation. Ain’t no stranger to work. I’m in tune in with demons I tell them do their worst. This my gift curse This my testament verse. Scribble this on hearse I’m no stranger to patience, I’ve been tested by fate. I look death face. And say I’ve been before I am angalou’s pen. Last breath of shakur If I really spoke my mind would they Truly endorse. Man made I am fiction Bet love my addictions. If I drown in the Sauce and gucci down to my socks If I start my own business And hit the belly like ross Will they build the black business or Let it fall to the floor Let it burn to the ground While we riot for peace While they sit and they watch From their chariot seats I’m in mariott suite Im on the 50th floor Wearing every damn chain That I couldnt afford Coming through the front door no keys Dreaming that we make it until then no sleep Nothing left to lost, Pray they comes I am still a legend when i’m 6ft deep Top missing, face in the scope If the juju don’t work. Pray the shot misses I got my hand on the bible, I swear It was my fault i’m sorry if I failed Another lost nigga. They say it What they don’t preach. I say it’s What don’t teach. If the politicians Then the children don’t flinch. I know mothers In the system. I got brothers in the wing and we Will not go to war for mans sins. On life Milk tokens, 40 pennies for the bus. Now we bus down, 40 something odd on the coffin. Lay a concrete. Double back and count our losses It was just another day when they leave with no options. Windows down hear the screeching when The tire starts. The people are tired and that’s Exactly when the fire starts. We felt stuck. Gentrifying all our neighbourhoods. Who helps us? Comprising on our livelihood While they sit and they watch From chariot sear. I’m in mariott suite Im on the 50th floor. Wearing every damn chain That I couldnt afford

The sins set on Saturday evening and sons rise on Sunday to the sound of Get up. We are going to church Even with the eyes of a minor, I knew my mother was just as much endowed with her spirituality as I guess Intuition told her the streets will not raise this child As we pass police tape and hat-tipping constables, I would be laughing every color like light with stained glass windows and be reminded of how fickle life is When was a kid I went to primary school with just got life. I would envy the wings of a pigeon But I never understood why they choose to stay pecking for scraps in inner city blocks Holding hopelessly to the next piece of bread that comes in their direction, as if a little was enough Honestly speaking, I only felt guilty when abused, piu or burning incense, they dont remove the scent of faux pas There was no kumbaya; I did not care how amazing Grace was - this was not for me Understanding the philosophies behind verse was childs play, yet childs play seemed more enticing than an hours service of contradictions I went to what many would call a white church The bread tasted like paper but the wine a cheeky Merlot Pardonne moi je me although I did not feel belonging to Two minutes til service ends removed concern Two weeks later a man who would teach me Sunday school got arrested for selling cocaine I once went to a black church I shared pigment with my peers but felt more alien than ever Prayer so intense they served more as a distraction than an inspiration Indignation riddled my core when I saw how much the collection played with the minds of the poor Eyes closed, tears cascading down side by side with saliva as native tongues would call to the heavens, and I would simply watch, notice the posters, with the pastors face on it His watch seemed nicer than most. Logos, buzzwords, slogans, spilling from the lips of the host. This service was a business Alas, there I am, on a Sunday humming to a hymn His blood is in my hands his bodys in the bread But before that I was taught by an elder to question everything, to see and doubt everything, to whose really in control of the scriptures A game of Chinese whispers couldve diluted what was said And with all this Christian merchandise, feels like somebodys using his body [Chorus}: Preacher, preacher tell me will I get to heaven Ive only been sinning half as much as you Dont condemn me, dont condemn me, dont condemn me, lest you walk at least a day in my shoes Now whos right? And whos wrong? And whats light? And whats the truth? Or are we all just living proof? {Verse 2]: Years went by, Im older now, sins set on Saturday evening and sons rise on Sunday to the sound of Im going to church. You should come. My mother was no longer in doubt, but intuition told me the church would not change my mother When she spends the whole night worrying exactly how she would keep the lights on, but scrapes together her last penny to put in the pocket of her church Whod sell her wrist bags for five pounds because it will bless you Handkerchiefs made holy with a fee, DVDs, guided prayer MP3s because it will save you But I will be damned if the church saves my mother before I do Preacher serving blessings to masses like cocaine Disregarding he do to a life darker than Coco Bees that still taste as sweet Miss the pastors judgement and you might hear me weep tears of joy to know my mother just wants the best for me But cant see past the a small principle : Just want the best for you. You just want the best for me I just want the best for you. You just want the best for me : Preacher, preacher tell me will I get to heaven Ive only been sinning half as much as you Dont condemn me, dont condemn me, dont condemn me, lest you walk at least a day in my shoes Now whos right? And whos wrong? And whats light? And whats the truth? Or are we all just living proof? : Preacher, preacher tell me will I get to heaven Ive only been sinning half as much as you Dont condemn me, dont condemn me, dont condemn me, til youve walked at least a day in my shoes Now whos right? And whos wrong? And whats life? Whats the truth? Tell me whats the truth Or are we all just living proof? All just living proof, all just living Preacher, preacher, yeah Are we all just, all just? Whos right? And whos wrong? But whats life? And what the truth, whats the truth, whats the? Living proof, living proof

But wait till you see the next visual I’m laughing! I said Wait till you see the next visual I’m laughing! “Where I come from... the challenges are quite different. There are no drug dealers or pimps, few thieves but, theres only the environment.”
See it through my shades, I feel it all in my braids They know that they cant replace, but still they try imitate Oh why do they try us? Something in my veins keep telling me we aint safe I see the hate in your face. I know, no, we aint the same So why do they try us? Skin glow like the moon above I can taste the power on my tongue I Know the source is something ancient Left the blueprints and its blatant You? You should call me royalty Give me my crown. Gimme-Give me my crown Give mе my crown. Give it to me. Bow down. Big flip Can I get a-Can I gеt a witness Make a little space on the wish list Walked through hell and got blisters Peace of mind encrypted Mama didnt raise no victim What I wouldnt do for the Kingdom Ride out bare face for the mission True say that the plantain sweet True say, revenge delicious Marinate through all four seasons Man a age like wine not milk And I still do road in silk Moonwalk on the block in slippers Me and them man are different ilk All black when I move in stealth Clean sweep. Move. Beep Beep Swerve bad mind and repeat Snakes get block then delete Need high notes like Bee Gees Cant do chat or kiki Need more depth like 3D When I go ghost, cant see me Give me my crown Give me my crown Give me my crown Give me my crown Give me my crown Give me my crown Give me my crown Give me my crown Gimme that

'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:

from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np

datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/kojey-radical")

train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03

train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])

datasets = DatasetDict(
