Salaam, Bismillah, I pray to God I succeed, Inshallah
Will I blow up quick, fast like Ramadan
And become the ultimate rap phenomenon?
Back in the days when it was all fun and games
When I got decent grades, when I was lame, PS3 was my escape
I prayed to be a master at playing FIFA and COD
Battling for supremacy, digital enemies
What a carefree period, childlike innocence before the sins were simmering under the surface
Pivoting, adolescence hit with urgency and to my inner peace, it came with some disturbance
Started reading the Bible, 365
Much surprise to my fam & cohorts, I was the hip hop guy
The young prospect, put the pen down and I studied the prophets
You know how it goes, set it free and the return is when you throw away the key because that m#th*rf#ck*rs there to stay
Hit it right on the head, destiny controls, it’s all about time and space
As I approached it with the drive a GTR possesses
Take-off on the track will leave you breathless
24/7 practice, no assessments
Lyrical exercises but my marks needed assessing
On a downward academic spiral, the only thing on my mind was going viral
Selfish, my father scrambled for school fees
Knee deep in stress and I was playful, ooh wee
Bittersweet but the camaraderie between me, NIK, Shady & AJEE was AC
Cold, cryotherapy to the max
Maximum time talking bout money, girls & rap
AR til’ infinity, spit on your contracts, see success independently
God willing, may You strengthen my purpose, when industry devils lurking, may the blood of Jesus cover my verses
It’s the coming of age, in need of a license
My effervescence contagious, spirit enlightened
And in line with a string of ambition, strumming with passion
Thoughts of failure doing damage to my gastric
Asterix, pray my 2nd masterpiece is produced by Madlib
Make magic for self and ask if
A kid from the townships made an album
Worthy of universal acclaim, Elohim is my middle name
Folded hands, handcuffs, spiritual ties
Synonymous with breaking boundaries, shut down the foundry
Rusty gates get taken off the hinges, new avenues for use, to hell with old bridges
If this is what it’s shaped up to be
My own lane & private life, great music then great
God, i pray you keep me sane if I breakthrough
The screens like UHD for world view
All praise is due to Allah, for my brothers in churches, knees down in the Mosque
’22 and beyond at the mercy of God
The Beneficent, my pen remains riveting, sky’s the limit
Inshallah
