Track 1: Vague
Verse 1
Hi
I feel like we’ve met in a couple songs so it’s not really
the first time that we talking to each other so freely.
Permit me to ask this before you can’t hear me clearly,
You think that my words are dreamy and dreary?
Be wise
Nobody’s saying you shouldn’t make music
In fact I urge you to make your music before you lose it.
Literally lose it up in your head, not just the songs mind you,
I’m talking bout the screws holding you up there.
Hey!
Head in my hands as I’m contemplating
whatever I mean with the words I’m saying.
I’m tryna make impact, so I start crusading
with a message too deep for their understanding
Understand me.
I am not preaching alone, I’m doing my best to enact it
so quit your reactin’
Hey
It’s like nobody hears when I’m rapping
or cares when I’m trapping
so I’m about to freestyle alone (alone)
It’s just me and my God in my thoughtzone
Just us and the songs that we compose
with a lotta help from the Holy Ghost
But this one is all on my own though
Just doing my best for an intro
You said that you heard one already
I’m coming again with a flow that is steady.
Verse 2
Satan be lurking around
like he got no house now.
Tryna get into my thoughts
and make me do what will bring me down now
Wait, wait
Hasn’t someone told him the story of three little pigs?
And the house made of bricks
didn’t fall with the wind
So huff all you want but you ain’t getting in
My lyrics get vague
and then i feel fake
but when i close my eyes to pray
what I’m getting just takes my breath away
So you better fear God and go rogue
No time to be judging the rope
And i’m getting tired of pulling the strings
Here God, You’ve got control.
This wasn’t rehearsed
Go check in my purse
for the secretive verse
that i carry to church
I’m telling the devil to ready his hearse
This EP is massive
and ET fantastic.
Pray before you be feeling my antics.
I said it before and I’ll say it again.
I’m just radical, tactical person with means for moving a practical mountain!
Yh
Track 2: Rogue
LYRICS
Verse 1
They told em to shut up or face persecution
They vowed they gon bring retribution
on all the disciples and followers of Jesus
Believers got locked in detention
Stand at attention, don’t ask any questions.
The way it is, no compensation.
Affection to
those whose defection is plain as the caption on top of their houses is treasonous action.
I am no quitter
I can never be a quitter as well as a breather
I’m sucking in oxygen, spitting out ether
combustion is nigh, let’sget an extinguisher.
But you can’t extinguish my flows.
Where these come from, Holy Ghost knows.
People be laughing and calling it suicide.
Tho i do pity them, boys this is do or die.
Hook:
(No, no, no, no, no)
Don’t stop me, I’m a man on a mission (Wooo!)
(Here we go, here we go now)
Can’t stop me, I’m a man with a vision (I’m a man with a vision)
Don’t stop me, I’m a man on a mision
I, won’t comply
I’m the rogue of a norm
Can’t stop me, I’m a man on a mission
Don’t stop me, I’m a man with a vision
Can’t touch me, I’m a man on a mission
I, won’t comply
I’m the rogue of a norm.
Verse 2
Flashbacks,
Homie got no flashbacks?
Okay, lemme give you one.
I was busy watching flapjack
when I got a flashback caller one day
saying “Dude, gimme money I’mma pay you back”
No way hoosay will I give you my pay
to be drunk all day and be high as a plane.
It’s nothing personal bruv but you’re high everyday!
If I give you cash from my hand, man it’s obvious that you’re gonna waste it
I do not need a fortune teller to tell me that in two hours you’re already wasted
You spend your money impressing these people?
They don’t care if you’re gonna make it.
All of these people are happy you’re broke and they don’t really care if your life gets wasted. (Naah)
So now you’re broke,
now you’re in prison,
since you refused to listen to reason.
I told you to focus and not be a vixen
and recognise always the King that is risen
but did you?
“If you stand up, then you’ll stand out
so say no to the way of the norm
If you stand up, then you’ll stand out
so say no to the way of the norm”
It’s why I walk in a bar and I feel bold.
Live a fake life, all you get is fake gold.
Some people freeze when they hear my flows,
and I know my life’s still a bit cold.
Don’t waste the money you ain’t got,
building up a stack of riches where there’s not.
Instead go straight fo the wisdom of the Kingdom.
I ain’t dumb enough to beat upon my own drum, no.
Hook:
Don’t stop me, I’m a man on a mission (Wooo!)
Can’t stop me, I’m a man with a vision (I’m a man with a vision)
Don’t stop me, I’m a man on a mision
Now I, won’t comply
I’m the rogue of a norm.
Outro:
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Can’t stop me!
I’m the rogue of a norm!
Track 3: Saved (ft Kidar)
Kidar:
Let there be light
A simple combination of words easily spoken and very common,
Common,
a sentence so mundane yet with it began the essence of the supernatural
From that sentence was the birth of an essence, an essence we all call the creation,
the birth of the mother of all, the mother nature
“Let there be light.”
Damzy Khing:
(Check it)
Hold them back, please
I’m asking God to help me hold them back
I can’t take this flood of questions, flood of issues dropped onto my lap
It’s a fact.
Then I look around like, “God, where you at?”
I really hate asking these questions,
the problem with myself is,
I think my lines are like some vague sentence
Been in these kind of bars since I started rapping and trapping.
I’d be amazed but the circles running are kind of depressing.
Some times I feel better than so many rappers
Other times I feel like a slacker.
They call me Godspeed
But that tho means that I’m faster,
but when they hear my songs, I’m wondering what’s happening after.
I tell myself and anybody else who cares enough to listen,
my raps are for the unbelievers and the Christians.
And I’ll be honest, yh
I feel just like a hypocrite cuz my songs don’t emphasize my faith in Jesus.
Kidar:
Day by day, time over time, words are spoken by our tongues, over and over, we are condemned by our words,
“Oh my God, why am I such a mess.”
“Shit am in a boat load of trouble.”
“Damn, why am I such a failure.”
and then you sit around wondering why your life ended up like this
And God created man in his own image and likeness,
There`s your answer,
Cuz God said,
LET THERE BE LIGHT,
and there was light,
Lolz, am being spiritual right,
Aiit, lets take it from here
Damzy Khing:
See it’s just so amazing
that I’m still alive and running wild
and rapping ’bout my issues while I’m contemplting suicide.
My state of mind, chaotic.
I’m tryna jump but i doubt it will
kill me,
it’d only hurt me and death won’t make me feel fulfilled.
To all those who will laugh in our face
say I’m ranting and raving
I’mma be a titan just to spit in their face.
I’mma stay alive and that’d be okay
cuz let’s be honest, there’s no point in excuses if you don’t start in the race.
To all those who gon laugh in our face
say I’m ranting and raving
I’mma be a titan just to spit in their face.
I’mma stay alive and that’d be okay
cuz let’s be honest, there’s no point in excuses if you don’t start in the race.
I’m saved.
