Chorus You went and changed up (changed up) All them promises were made up Fake hugs so I guess it was all fake love (fake love) There’s no fixing this break up (Nah) Cause you really went and changed up(changed up) All them promises were made up Fake hugs so I guess it was all fake love (fake love) There’s no fixing this break up (Nah) Verse 1 How you keep failing every test, unnecessary stress I hope your life’s a mess, losing me you lost the best The best you’ll ever get, the best you ever had And here’s a fact, you can never double back Learnt lessons but was it really worth it You need to work on being a better person Hurting me when you were the one hurting And I was certain, had to get rid of you, you were a burden So many times we tried to come back from your lies So many nights of fights and one word replies I'm glad I realised that you had to pay the price Me going was your loss (huh?) I bet you were surprised So many games you tried to play and it didn’t go your way So many days of pain and you thought I’d be the same I find it strange the way how money made you change You switched up so I swerved back into my lane Chorus You went and changed up (changed up) All them promises were made up Fake hugs so I guess it was all fake love (fake love) There’s no fixing this break up (Nah) Cause you really went and changed up (changed up) All them promises were made up Fake hugs so I guess it was all fake love (fake love) There’s no fixing this break up (Never) Verse 2 Done with the takers, had to stop being a giver (had to stop) Thoughts about the vios give me a cold shiver I had to look in the damn mirror, Like are you dumb? Know your worth, you’re number one, you’re a damn winner (facts) And there ain’t anyone realer, I wish I learnt quicker That some man will say whatever just to dig ya Or they’ll dim your light so no one else gets a glimmer They don’t even want you but don’t want no one else with ya Now go figure, now they’ll say I’m bitter Cause I clocked that he’s a big fibber So I vowed to never let another lover inna Now I’m focused on things that are better and bigger No more jokers I got rid of the clowns You know, they say you can’t keep a good woman down So when it's sink or swim I know I won’t drown And the weight on my shoulders heavy cause of my crown Chorus You went and changed up All them promises were made up Fake hugs so I guess it was all fake love There’s no fixing this break up (Nah) Cause you really went and changed up (changed up) All them promises were made up Fake hugs so I guess it was all fake love (fake love) There’s no fixing this break up (Nah) Cause you really went and changed up

Verse 1 So, sis, he followed and slid in your DMs Saw a roley chain, range and you linked him in the pm? And gave it up? You ain’t seeing what he’s seeing? What? It’s been a month now you aint’ even seen him? And now ur sad again like how’d this even happen It’s apparent, letting men pass you around like a baton And all for what, a week or two of passion? You played the game wrong, he ain’t even take you Hatton I mean,I think you need a social media break 10/10s everywhere please remember its fake And your faves they’re probably flat on their face And begging man for lifts at the end of the rave Beauty and brains I know that you’re clever I can see it in your eyes that you’re a go-getter You just need to get it and keep it together And use your head more, cause I know you know better Chorus Girls want the money clothes and the shoes Chose wise don’t go breaking your rules You’re a jewel, don’t be nobody’s fool And remember, you got nothing to prove And guys don’t fall for the lies Doing the most for IG likes You’re a jewel, don’t be nobody’s fool And remember, you got nothing to prove Verse 2 So, bro, you’re really risking freedom for drip? Fast money won’t last money the bird won’t be quick And the birds will go but leave you ghost on visits There’s plenty bad vibes that’ll break your spirit So you wanna do up MoneyMan? Understand, your BM's home with your three kids? Go be a family man You’d rather galavant, and sell dreams just cause you can And you’re a man with goals but just don’t have a plan Popped man living off hot gyal Insecure man that hate gyal but adore man Dior man, mattress on the floor man, won’t war man But only got chat towards gyal And now pressures of life got you feeling a way Men can be loved unconditionally despite what they say But it don’t help the stereotypes you portray I just hope you got the paper when it's time to repay Chorus Girls want the money clothes and the shoes Chose wise don’t go breaking your rules You’re a jewel, don’t be nobody’s fool And remember, you got nothing to prove And guys don’t fall for the lies Doing the most for IG likes You’re a jewel, don’t be nobody’s fool And remember, you got nothing to prove Breakdown Don’t be nobody’s fool Don’t be nobody’s fool And remember you got nothing to prove Don’t be nobody’s fool Don’t be nobody’s fool And remember you got nothing to prove Don’t break all your rules Don’t break all your rules Cause remember you got nothing to prove Don’t break all your rules Don’t break all your rules Cause remember you got nothing to prove Chorus Girls want the money clothes and the shoes Chose wise don’t go breaking your rules You’re a jewel, don’t be nobody’s fool And remember, you got nothing to prove And guys don’t fall for the lies Doing the most for IG likes You’re a jewel, don’t be nobody’s fool And remember, you got nothing to prove

Verse 1 Imma start this like students with their disso’s To summarise, I’m an exec to the heroes De Niro to all your favourite MCs Heard some people send shots Miss me the clip is empty The world's people want money power status But don’t think about their soul’s homeostasis Or is it Romeo-status Let’s be real it isn’t Evil hearts prevail out here it’s been written They don’t see a girl in need of help while she fighting They see legs open till late, off-licence is where we get our sugar D’you know a life that’s sweeter? Eyes on the ball I’m QB, you wide receiver Try and keep up for most I move too quick Sound this good at 2-2, imagine me at 2-6 Between the truth and the lies, there’s always tension These days always feelings over facts that get attention Chorus But you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said, you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said, you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said you can get the money You can get the power Keep your eyes on On the Final Hour Verse 2 Cause your times running out We’re all living in a drought Of wisdom Been out and been hearing mad -isms An unfettered mind is a dangerous one And idle hands can be the devil's playground They can try stop me I will never stay down A king's heart beating in a young man’s skeleton I see each and every ploy of the enemy Coldest on the scene XP of a veteran Cash rules everything around me Cream of the cream in this scene but God found me In the darkness of the world I got out of this Grew up now I’m what they like to call a real lyricist I fix eyes on what I can’t see This generation's plagued by misinformation Check your source or you fall precipitation And that’s the start to your own miseducation Chorus But you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said, you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said, you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said you can get the money You can get the power Keep your eyes on Breakdown You can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said, you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said, you can get the money You can get the power Still got appetite cause your soul wants to devour Said you can get the money You can get the power Keep your eyes on You can get the money You can get the power You can get the money You can get the power

Intro I’m in pain all from loving you It hurts too much to be here with you Got me down Laying up under you This isn’t what I wanted Verse 1 Father, I come here on my knees Cause I think I made a mistake Fallen down and I think I’ve lost my way Think I’m in love So why do I feel all this pain yeah I shouldn’t be in this state yeah I seen it coming round Thought it can’t fool me now He came into my house He was invited He blew it all down in one clean sweep Those three little words Don’t lie on me Chorus I’m in pain all from loving you It hurts too much to be here with you Got me down Laying up under you This isn’t what I wanted For my first time Loving you more than my life I be breaking all my lines The first time babe It nearly killed me off baby Verse 2 An angel coming down He falling through them clouds Straight to my island I thought it had no bounds But then I went and drowned Said no to guidance I declared this love is blind I give you my sleep Don’t want no food to eat Wishing I could just go back in time Keep you good like you was that one night Sold me dreams I wish my card declined Breakdown What you did Made me look at me real good inside Now I'm floating off the grid I just fell in love For the first time oh no I just fell in love Chorus I’m in pain all from loving you It hurts too much to be here with you Got me down Laying up under you This isn’t what I wanted For my first time Loving you more than my life I be breaking all my lines The first time babe It nearly killed me off baby

Intro Really gonna make it away For real man… Verse 1 So I’m starting with unstable foundations But I’ll convert it into concrete Work-in-progress certain goals are still incomplete I want a home with an en-suite When indulging within luxuries you appreciate the smaller things Why should I tame my approach to comfort I’m pulling all the strings I’m so aggressive ain’t I So excessive ain’t I Any expression shown by me just repress it Don’t you, won’t you just Straight out the womb from 9 months in a cocoon I got astronomic issues that I got to tend to It’s ten to noon as I’m writing this tune I gotta wait till after dark till I can fly to the moon Hop scotch, hot pot, one shot, time clock Double knot, dot to dot, duck duck goose, Parachute, box juice, toys misused Those Childhood memories that I can’t lose Chorus You keep on making You keep on, making a way You keep on making Yes you, you keep on making oh You keep on making You keep on, making a way You keep on making Yes, you you keep on making oh Verse 2 I’d really rather not complain To create a masterpiece you gotta endure the pain Ever so often I get a distant recollection This really the life that we all be accepting Was on a call to a good friend Reminiscing bout when People used to actually talk to one another Everything digital now She ain’t got a pal but if you go on her gram She got about ten thou I want momma’s cooking, bike rides to the park Daddy’s car won’t start Me and brother push it hard Girly magazines with the gifts inside Hide and seek but I could never hide 5p sweets, run grazed knee, go home weep She seh tan a yuh yard Street lights gone Better home fore it dark I guess I’m still a little child at heart You keep on making You keep on, making a way You keep on making Yes you, you keep on making oh You keep on making You keep on, making a way You keep on making Yes, you you keep on making oh Bridge Sometimes reflection is key Looking back upon our purest selves Fear wasn’t a factor We just lived Now we’re caught up in expectations and being close to perfection I miss when life was simple She was limitless She was fearless She was a believer Before the awakening to what the world is The pure soul that once was sure lived Chorus You keep on making You keep on, making a way You keep on making Yes you, you keep on making oh You keep on making You keep on, making a way You keep on making Yes, you you keep on making oh

Verse 1 (SB) Started from an epiphany Now the plans coming to fruition Went from rapping trapping back to rap, complete the mission And Lord knows the L's brought me back to a Musician Really how can I lose? (How?) It's already been written Made a decision, time to put me first Things I envision, I swear they can’t even go in a verse Conversed with young me like you’ll make it all work I'm worth the wait Used to make the weight work Had them berserk Wiser and matured now I’m seeing the bigger picture (Facts) Verses like sermons, I need you to feel the scripture Stay out the mix and no scandals, Don’t need a fixer And be prepared to drop heat in the coldest winter They say God gives you nothing that you can’t bear I'm living proof cause somehow I’m still here The puppeteer of my dreams I finesse with flair So believe them when they say this year is my year. Chorus (Mercy's Cartel) I feel like the streets are paved with gold We are onto something It's a new horizon Lights so bright we're blinded With this voice, I give you all my soul Sing and praise til morning It's a new horizon Keep me high my blessings Verse 2 (SAMSON) Think I was 12 when I wrote my first lyric Listened to Tyler and Earl, cos I never fit in Wasn’t classed as cool, but to try I was so willing They said I was white but my skin had melanin in I had a troubled mind state at a young age I learnt about the cells and the membranes But not about the darkness in the men's brain No, I wasn’t insane But struggling to be yourself can never leave the way you’re walking the same Rhymes to escape The words I use illuminate The page, I feed your mind with light Photosynthesis Anyone who takes leaves out of my book Comes back right around and sees I'm where the interest is I’m paying all the dividends pocket’s getting thinner Spiritual eyes allow me to see clearer They ask me how much confidence I foster And I say to them watch out for the imminent imposter Send drones with cameras attached I wanna see my mental critics face to face then attack Only been a year but best believe I’m here a while I got bars hard enough to make Mona Lisa smile These artists had their time but the limelight is for me how? God as my witness ain’t nothing to do with me The sights for sour eyes that hate to see me shine have to See the co-signs grabbed with 2 songs and a freestyle Chorus (Mercy's Cartel) I feel like the streets are paved with gold We are onto something It's a new horizon Lights so bright we're blinded With this voice, I give you all my soul Sing and praise til morning It's a new horizon Keep me high my blessings Verse 3 (Denyher) (Absurdd) It was me against What they thought I could do I fought it through Execute my potential times two (Ah haa) Who would’ve knew? Silence can’t be mistaken For a lack of intelligence Hate direct attention I’m still a black excellent Jumping over hurdles Aligned continued circles Feeling of getting nowhere So we turn our own page Threw away instructions Building up our own stage (That wayyyyyy) They say money is power And I ain’t got none So I’m an unbloomed flower And I’m still working by the hour You ain’t man, you aint defend us You a mothafrickinn cowarddddddd Freedom of speech So nobody can speak for me Sesame Street Not a puppet I speak for I’m sure you get the gist I could maybe suggest when informing bout the best You include me in the YESSSSSS (Haha, chill out Dee) Chorus (Mercy's Cartel) I feel like the streets are paved with gold We are onto something It's a new horizon Lights so bright we're blinded With this voice, I give you all my soul Sing and praise til morning It's a new horizon Keep me high my blessings Breakdown New Horizon New Horizon New Horizon New Horizon New Horizon New Horizon New Horizon New Horizon
