Bob Marley (speach)
[CHORUS]
Africa forever, forever, forever, forever, forever....
[VERSE]
I don't open doors
I walk through them I never climb mountains I talk to them
I say the magic words to them and they start moving
That's how close mother nature is to dark here mans
There's something in the melanin
I don't lack of like the rapped Eminem
Haters wish I'd quit and never represent again
But instead I been better then I've ever been
It took years of coming in sixth place
Until I finally got my big break
See as a boy it's normal to miss the toilet
Especially if daddy wasn't around to teach you to piss straight
I'm the Africa that you don't see
But will hear 'Cuz my sound is too obese
I'm the second coming of Kool Moe Dee
Or Just Ice with two gold teeth.
[CHORUS]
Africa forever, forever, forever, forever, forever....

There's a body in the streets
There are beasts amongst us
Hunting Kings and Queens down
How dare they bite the crown
One day the gods will strike them down
Until then royal children live in solidarity
'Know how you feel eh fam
Another one bites cold steel eh fam
Fear is what they try to instill eh fam
But the mandem are out here still eh fam
Stay woke eh fam
Don't fall for the okie doke eh fam
Stick through my love is for you
Young Queens and Pharoahs

Love is the cure yes love is the remedy (Love is the remedy)
But what is love when it's a suit worn by your enemy
Aye aye aye aye aye aye
Don't let them fool you
They smile in your face and they tell you your safe yeah
Don't let them fool you
The heroes are loved by the one KKK

[VERSE]
We over feed the rich but we deny the poor
What you living for why you lying for
Why you crying for they say that every penny worth living for
There's a dollar worth dying for
I live by the sword and won't die
Until I receive my reward that's my driving force
Heaven gotta chill 'til I see a mil
And if you think i'm dead wrong for saying that
Fuck it i'm a corpse
You have no right to judge me
Everything i say is the result of all that I've endured
I've watched my father decompose from diabetes
Slowly until he died then immediately my mind matured
The journey to success many differences between mine and yours
I walked you got to drive a ford
I've had to kick mine off the hinges since i was born
Motherfucker all of yours were automatic sliding doors
Brief history '82 to '99 gun town Rexdale that was my survival course
I got away with the crime that you got pinched for
'Cause everything i analyze are all the things your eyes ignored
They wanna know who wrote that underground classic Preemo Donna Do some digging and you'll find the source
And if you dig a little more
Your shovel might strike the teeth of this emcee dinosaur
Married to hip hop but I fuck with RnB
And Reggae on the side and she deals with it so why divorce
She likes the size of my microphone
Plus she understands that for the love of music i'm a whore
And from this day forward i have sworn
That one of the several goal i will strive towards
After the rhythm is molded and the rhymes recorded
Each ceremony walk away with minimum five awards
And if i fail imma try again
And then i'll try a third and then i'll try a forth
And then i'll try a fifth and then i'll try some more
And even if i die i'll come back like spinal cord
i said even if i die i'll come back like spinal cord

[VERSE]
It starts with a dream a scheme to get the dollars and creme
From walking the streets to cruising in Impala's with screens
The object to be the hardest and the strongest emcee
Is a problem indeed ain't easy as you thought it would be
Who wanna be free from poverty who's starving to eat
Just follow my lead I'll take you there like Salahuddin
I promise to be responsible for all of my seeds
The daughter i feed she gotta get a college degree
Along with my son I'll teach them both that knowledge is key
The song isn't done until we pay homage to G's
That's gone and deceased it's sort of like the falling of leaves
Y'all know about the drama we've seen who expected this
Rexdale rose amongst a garden of weeds
To rise higher than a forest of trees
Bismillah ir-rahman ir-rahim the wall in between
Y'all and succeeding ain't as tall as it seems you nah mean.
[CHORUS]
Take off in YYZ
Transfer in LHR
Fly over Hollywood
And land in Charles De Gaulle
Two fingers on my pulse
I'm okay
Good morning, good morning
[VERSE 2]
The struggle and pain the work until your muscles get drained
While governments waits to snatch a fat chunk of your pay
The money you make divided into hundreds of ways
Get sucked and get drained but stand firm busters complain
And whats even crazy is while you're out there hustling days
Up in your gates some other brother is fucking your lady
It fucks with your brain now you can't even function the same
Your stuck with the shame and got no one and nothing to blame
I come from a place where shottas and the hustlers where raised Pumping that base gun at the waste hunger to taste
So come with the pay you might provoke the busting of grains
Duck or get slain quick fast cut to the chase
I love when it rains it only means that sunnier days
Will come to replace the darkness is just but a faze
And just when you're saying you've had about enough of the praying Allah reaches out and touches your face, Amen
[CHORUS 2X]
Take off in YYZ
Transfer in LHR
Fly over Hollywood
And land in Charles De Gaulle
Two fingers on my pulse
I'm okay
Good morning good morning

[HOOK]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong?
(Admit when I'm wrong)
Do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)
So if we love each other let's open up our eyes
And let the bullshit slide
[VERSE 1: IAN KAMAU]
They say a kiss is not a contract, and sin is not skin contact
We've gone beyond that
And every failure it's another step, around every corner another net
Lost we often get
Caught by cupid's bow, but we don't listen
So, we'll never know if love goes missin'
In a single breath, as our lives can
Left our reflection like the right hand
In a pool of shallow words that were torn apart
Like the world was when I lived with a lonely heart
With the verb love, like a grain of salt
On the tip of my tongue, I know it's my fault
And failure often blooms our insecurities
Like love like the flower of the seed
Our pride won't devour our greed, but our love will
Kinda wish I was in love still
[HOOK]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong?
(Admit when I'm wrong)
Do you love me? (Honesty)

So if we love each other let's open up our eyes

[VERSE 2: SPEK WON]
Wassup Geneviève (our)
Relationship is now sour with the power of the lemon tree
This is something we thought we'd never be
Either we fight the power of sour or turn Public Enemy
'Cuz sour ain't the flavor of love
A relationship's a job, ain't no wages above
The minimum
I called up the Labor of Love (union)They say attention I ain't paid you enough
But, ain't no reason for you for childishly vent
I ain't feeling your style of defense
Here comes the silent treatment
You say you're cool, but not once have you smiled this weekend
We used to be the best of friends
I know sometimes I crossed the line like a Mexican
I know I got more pride than two lesbians
But, right now, my main question is
[HOOK]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong?
(Admit when I'm wrong)
Do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)
So if we love each other let's open up our eyes
And let the bullshit slide
[VERSE 3: SLAKAH THE BEATCHILD]
Miscommunication, this relationship is through
No more ménage à trois,
All you've done is make it hard
for me and my girl we are so through
Accusations, confrontations, all because of you
Best you get steppin' if you learned your lesson
You only come back with the Miss out of the spelling
You and I will get by
If we trust, trust enough
Just rely in true love
[HOOK 2x]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong?
(Admit when I'm wrong)
Do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)

Salutations I see some local faces
y'all know my name is (Spek Won)
Yes I'm almost famous
you might have seen me (Murder)
one of your local stages
I once repped 88days for that I have no more patients
I have a confession I'm slowly breaking
see i'm just like you I make mistakes and go through fazes
we all come from fucked up situation and broken places
we pray shit changes and hope we make it
success is a casino this is our road to Vegas
we could win depending on how we play our smoking
aces life is rough and we deserve the right to go get wastes
where's my rolling papers don't judge me
because I'm fuck up you're fucked up he's fucked up she's fucked up they're fucked up they're fucked up y'all fucked up we fucked
I'm fuck up you're fucked up he's fucked up she's fucked up they're fucked up they're fucked up y'all fucked up we fucked.
[HOOK]
If I told you I was perfect then clearly I'm joking
my brain is in pieces I just appear to be focused
we hide whats inside us with our fresh gear and our clothing
so exterior's perfect but interior's broken
be wherry of and fear who you roll with
question everything you're quote unquote friends tell you don't just take it in because the people that's nearest and closest
will manipulate you for their own ulterior motive
the process of hearing verses the theory of coping
put two fingers up if you think these lyrics are potent
thank y'all for listening this here is my token
of appreciation to you do
because I'm fuck up you're fucked up he's fucked up she's fucked up they're fucked up they're fucked up y'all fucked up we fucked
I'm fuck up you're fucked up he's fucked up she's fucked up they're fucked up they're fucked up y'all fucked up we fucked.

Give you the condo and the town house take the visa

Cruising with a pocket full of dimed out baggies
Hustle up a quick flip
Some for smokey some for selly
Can you feel me
Can you smell me ooh

Az Alpo filthy rich

It's that cheeba It's that reefer
It's that sweet cannabis saliva

She want to elevate so she purchase when i sell a bit
Hoping that she's gullible if she's celibate she's irrelevant
Smoke so incredible THZ all in my melanin

Project shootings drug body viewings
Old kings died and grew wings and became
Project angels watching over the new king
My garden angel probably pulled a few strings
To get me to live passed 25 when alive
Daddy was a dead beat and to these street
Young black boys are red meat
blue bloods are the true thugs treat us like an episode of true blood
Thirsty going hard on brothers
got me feeling like God don't love us
Are you out there?
'cause I'm out here
You know the man dem are out here still eh fame
[VERSE 2]
I you do me a favour then tell me that I don't owe you right back
You'll hold it over my head yeah I know you'd like that
There's certain mans I can't vibe with
Share split are get high with I don't know you like that
How yup mean I wifed up the queen
of RnB in my city cuz I'm royal like that
And if she ain't fuckin' with you nigga I ain't fuckin' with you
I'm a Rexdale soldier so I'm loyal like that
And loyalty is hard to come by these days
My bredrins don't even come by these ways
Got me feeling like a hypocrite
Among so called hipsters who don't give a shit
About black lives but still benefit
From black culture that's white privilege
Y'all swear to God that y'all love us
But are you out there?
'cause I'm out here
Is you really really out there?
'cause I'm out here
You know the mandem are out here still eh fame
[BRIDGE] Dey
Still here fame yes I'm out here fame
Life it gets complicated some times the dream starts to fade
But I gotta work towards it, deal with the game and the bullshit
But everyday I do this, and everyday I choose this
Yes I really really dig this shit
Yes I really do I really do
Naaaa naa
Naaaa naa
Sacrifices must be made but the bills still must be paid
Yes they must be paid
Is anybody out there, yeah is anybody out there
Is anybody
[POEM] Quentin Vercetty
On a cold train of thought listening to Coltrane plots
He rides the blur line back to the block
Keeping six
Making sure doesn't get caught slipping
He feels the chain sitting
In is chest
As he rides the rocket from north west
From fairest creatures we desire increase
Cold blooded lion hearted
Check the scale or check the skill
And try to way loyalty
Which over shadows Darwin theory
Naturally
having the mastery of survival instincts
He know tactics like call of duty
But after running missions he arrives daily, safely
Back to his strip
Remembering
Where you feel at hem at
Is more important than where you come from
And loyalty is like a gun that nuff manned die 'cause they ain't got none!
So he grips his closely
And no matter how far he goes
He ain't afriad to let it be known
So pour some liqs
light some kush
Let that salt in your wounds devolve and let the scales cover your scars
'cause when the world outside of your block gets hard
Just remember what you are at heart
You're a Rexdalien
……you're a Rexdalien
