I'd rather do more walking on these beats than talking in these streets That's more for the impeached I transform to a beast in his prime time I'm foul mouthed with it no cavities Covered in dirt, so down to earth But out to win awards based on performance like Gravity So why they're tryna get a rise? Probably cos I cause calamities without a cavalry just casualties Been AWOL for a bit, you wanna know the latest Still a dude of a nature to make the kinda statement I'd jump inside the matrix Eat the red and blue pill, just to see what the taste is Then suggest some flavours, you will respect the status Forget who you came with And to the haters, when I've made it too late to catch the vapours Change your lane in this game like Sega (Chorus) What you tell them now? 2nd time round for this animal Call this the 'Battle of the Alamo' What you tell them now? Pardon my grammar though Just tryna catch your ears from your gramophone What you tell them now? 2nd time round for this animal This the battle of the Alamo What you tell them now? Pardon my grammar though Just tryna catch your ears from this gramophone So what you tell them now?   Dolo I'm loco whole vision total in slo-mo On the corner of lust and greed, looking for hope yo Don't know, wonder why I'm oh so far from home though And I won't know, I'm not solo, But all I see is certain vocals getting promo And it's so cold knowing the game is in a choke hold but I won't fold If I focus walk the right path I'll make it through the swarm of locusts Gonna start and end this jawn with the same train of thought on-the-low though Roll in a Polo, with the dreams of a Honda Civic Hoping one day the Merc’s waiting for me to jump up in it Hungers infinite, want the funds but don't wanna pivot I just hopped out the Lambo pardon if I'm cocky with it But I don't own that whip, back to what I am rolling with Reality's very clear 'bout what I can hold in both my wrists Wanna play hard then-I-gotta work hard, or else know the risk Toast the fifth, nah I chose to win (Chorus) //Pardon my grammar though There's rules to this, I wrote my own manual so I could cope The carbon copies on a downward slope amounts to average flows Who we gonn' hold accountable? I'll one trick 'em spit another BattleAxe!? Just shock value? That ain't my habitat Them gimmicks that image figures you been dead More impressive than a speech from Nick Clegg Beat made by my brother call this incest Money to make with Loose Threads so I invest Like Clint in them old movies, east meets west This town ain't big enough for-the both of us want the world instead I should be gassed, find me with my mama jama, That's my present, god's gift like Dalai Lamas To match it, I stay fresh, dipped in Mayamada My niggy proposition? I got the answer (Chorus)

This writer’s block’s like the water's damned, flowing like a stream but the pipe is clogged Cause more stress than a man's wife divorced And she took the house, and the kids that your life has bought That she never earned so this is robbery via the courts Traffic jam all collision everything Going nowhere at the speed of light except the wind Maybe it will whisper something for me to pen Bad predicament to explain, let me begin It's like I’m going blind Can’t see why I’m spending all this time, on a line, and I can't cross it The strife's constant Milllion thoughts on my mind, but it’s not helping what I am tryna accomplish I can't piece 'em together, man this is puzzling How can I look at the box when it comes from within The director script writer, Brothers Grimm Surely it can't be this hard to score another win When Ghost spoke? Told me never force a flow So if it's not on auto, then it borrows my control Though the ball of the pen rolls, let it roll right out your soul And when momentum takes its toll, I gotta break it down some more Good advice Tone, but you know me Closer to the end? Not even remotely! And I'm a battery short for the Midas touch Lego, Duplo, size of the writer's block (Chorus) Time has stopped, I can’t push the pen to write Holding me to ransom man what a crime More than money that’s on my mind But I I pray the words come to me, the words come to me The words come to me this time I pray the words come to me this time It ain't just the rhymes, that define, all the lines, WRITER'S BLOCK   This writer’s block has gotta stop Or I'll… I'll... Just... find something else to do Procrastination waiting for me need a miracle Watching American idol, recitals I can ridicule Looking around the room, inspiration is minimal My phone's on loud but no doubt, I'll search around Clearly in denial like I might've just missed a call How, mystical, now, here is a thought Better now if I find something hard And I don't start then I won't fail a fool's problem but Between the great things we can't do and the little things we won't do The danger is we'll do nothing I never claimed my diction, slapstick but Jokes on me my thinking, captive I’ll flip a line from Summer High ain't catch the triple meaning Say it another time bulimia is sublime Green-eyed from my past life I remember the nights Deprived, of time my imagination described The kind, of adventure adolescents would hide One’s mind, naivety and courage combined That was then, this is now it's like my time is up The pad is wondering why, I won't confide as much ‘Bout to put the pen down and wait - I forgot To busy writing to note I broke through my writer's block (Chorus)

The Argument 01:58
I'm one day closer to the truth, running towards the answer Word to Locky cos he ran farther Closer to peace of mind that's what I'm after But if you had a piece of my mind, you'd probably need the pie chart so My hand hugs the pen like a martyr I sketch the art, maybe one day I’ll draw a Gallardo You hear the song though It means I'm closer to Yoshida Minako Closer to the man getting rid of me, sickening It's strictly business never personal learnt that from E and P Tryna stack the P the government is tryna take the P Need therapy, slow they take dough away from OAPs I'm, closer to, peering in the sky Maybe I’ll ;ook, long enough, losing fear of light Come in my window light my tomorrow bring a dearer wife Closer to sharing if the pairing is right, I’m closer to… (Chorus) //Another dawn, another day, another night I'm-one day closer Another born, another reign, another life I'm-one day closer-to… Closer, I'm one day closer I'm one day closer to everything (Chorus) Like conscious of mind Knowledge desire of what Tomorrow will hide, what will I'll find More than nothing inside My spirit's guide past the narcissistic vibes A harsher divide I’m crossing the Nile, to pastures divine Uphill I climb Yeah, closer to you @AaronJaunty get closer to this dude Lean over the balcony, get a closer view Rewind the rhyme dissect, meaning number 2 I’m closer… Leveraging blessings with weapons of words Never forgetting the lessons I've learnt Less the apprentice more legend Happy endeavours for whatever it’s worth, I’m closer to NO! I have a little more time left and I’m next With a voice to get off of my chest, Poor Righteous Call me Father Jaunty I digress Lord I guess I can follow closer the right steps Hoping one day I will hear angels sing Through it all protected from devil’s kin Brought from God, like the songs Dwele bring One Day Closer to Everything…

And another one, coming to a close Difficult fresh breeze ease dressed in different clothes (It’s not you it’s me) case closed Wish you were a little quicker to change hoes huh If you knew, you’d run and hide your eyes When autumn falls you know what’s up, the ending weren’t a nice surprise Besides, how could you know; following the night You’d see clear blue skies, filling you with new pride Fed cooked breakfast with the good catch-up but now you’re Fed up, what to do? Your feelings weren’t a small measure Are you a man? Refuse to let her get you under the weather Or do you, plummet can’t, stomach the pressure huh She moved clouds around town with her poker face But now permanence of this joker’s fate (It’s over) you hear the echo, echo Eh yo it’s over, it’s time to let go let go huh (Chorus) To have or to have not Does he love you, does she love you not? The flask was half empty, the glass is half full Take the path gently, let the past past you To have or to have not Does he love you, does she love you not? The flask was half empty, the glass is half full Take the path gently, let the past past you So you wake up from your dream but it wasn’t a dream You remember everything in between Sitting there with your ‘June 12th Beckham face’ Commence the scheming, for the thrill of the chase You’re mingling wild, ‘cos you’re single and proud The difference now, getting over your girl will take more kisses than smiles You’re seeing an old world ain’t seen in a while Witnessing the rebirth of a sinful child Stuck in the game like a stud, to the mud But you ain’t tryna find love, in the club huh-huh, Just a skirt or two, up for some fun Later for the, hugs now for the rub-a-dub Easy as pie, nothing meaningful in the slice But the sweets you are feening is nice You hear your name, you’re getting wild for the night You hear your name, just question if it’s time for a child (Chorus) All of these ladies sure enough come and go Until you find the one that you’ve been waiting for No more of that “What’s your name, what’s your size?” You’re looking at her like she’s the babe of your future life Causing pain when not at your side Full ones old Cadbury’s logo Back off, like she’s accustomed to hold poles But she’s not a hoe though, we taank God! I swear, I’m caught up in the rapture again I mean, how could YOU ever let it happen again I mean, who am I fooling if this song weren’t about me, only then is it ‘bout you If you know the feeling, well, then you’re about truth Seek your friends around you if you’re about proof It’s wifey time and you’re allowed too You need her, like nothing else in this life Nah you want her to be your future wife (Chorus) Does he love you, does she love you not? It’s a tale, way too familiar tale Does she love you, does he love you not? Heart breaks, heart mends, heart then prevails Does he love you, does she love you not? It’s a tale, way too familiar tale Does she love you, does he love you not? Heart breaks, heart mends, heart then prevails

Closer, I'm one day closer I'm one day closer to everything (K.I.N.E.T.I.K.) Yeah, I'm getting closer to having all of my questions answered Closer to a place where there's no stress or dramas Closer to Jehova, no more scratching my head 'Cos then I would have found out what really happens when we're dead Whether I see a postponed or early fate Whether I walk through or have to pick the locks at the pearly gates I'm close to seeing my loved ones that passed away And this is hard to say, but rest in peace to Pastor Ray It's nearly been a week since you took your last breath I never thought I'd talk about you in the past tense There's no shortcuts So everyday, trying to find my way from what I want to what the Lord does Closer to a state of acceptance Closer to the end of me living my days reckless And knowing what's invested in me I'm closer to becoming that man that I was destined to be, closer.. (Chorus) Like conscious of mind, knowledge, desire of what Tomorrow will hide, what will I'll find More than nothing inside My spirit's guide past the narcissistic vibes A harsher divide I’m crossing the Nile, to pastures divine Uphill I climb Yeah ,closer to you @Aaron Jaunty get closer to this dude Lean over the balcony, get a closer view Rewind the rhyme dissect, meaning number 2 I’m closer… Leveraging blessings with weapons of words Never forgetting the lessons I've learnt Less the apprentice more legend Happy endeavours for whatever it’s worth, I’m closer to... NO!

I snuck up with my brother from another mother This I time I got another brother from another mother "I Think You Get the Point!" and some Robbing your, ears with this Anthem, stick your hands up, make some noise Gotta be deaf and numb, only way you're not feeling it My instinct, with my ink stick, that’s my instrument And I’m flicking it, kaisho, strokes different Calligraphy, epiphany telling me scripture’s sick You hear the flow, from depths within, the penmanship Jury acquitting kids, like Zimmerman, ridiculous Tell 'em from your lungs that you had enough They say there's no justice there's just us They don't want me to put these black gloves on Black panther not murderer in case you judged wrong Mark Dugan, like it's nothing We riot in your name, light a flame this is The Anthem (K-Nite 13) Don't let the baby face fool you, I've got a screw loose You make the kinda music I snooze to You get a couple digits on YouTube and get gassed But never touch the bitches you move to or get smashed Close to the end like a shift on a Thursday Still draw your chick on my worst day Couldn't own a bit of my wordplay, your style is too basic Face it, you make tracks for the A-list but don't playlist Fake shit, make shift, bait chicks Thinking you're a phoenix, can never keep that flame lit Hit 'em with the penis and now she's going ape shit Nigga I'm a genius, and different from these bait pricks You're an epic fail, fuck a record sale Your chicks on her knees, my dick's raised like it's read in braille Your set is stale, oh f'ing hell I hope you get f'd in jail, nigga (Skillit) I gotta go battle, 'cos I couldn't think of a concept Go raggo like, fuck the nonsense Beyond strength, Aretha Franklin, kill them softly BattleAxe, get them stabbed in half like King Joffrey Can't stop this, like Rain when it's after dark With your wife, she's topless like she Ned Stark When we did the damn thing, I don't even know her name Jane Doe got the crows, flocking to bone like Jon Snow But this ain't the Game of Thrones You dun know, different show, music reflect different colours like kaleidoscopes A wiley folk, the flow I got, it got me cruising Try to stop the wave, you're gonna see that you're fishing for a bruising Chumps step up to get beat down It's all loss, get ta' petrified, you'd better recognise, I'm D-Lo Brown Your Drozdov, 2 bars and you're dead, remain calm or you're dead Put these rappers to sleep like there's two arms on your head, Skillit

I'm chillin’ rekindling my kinship with Mars The moon’s jealous wondering why I’m grilling the stars The stars think, I’m unwilling to finish my tasks When it’s planets I can’t even get my ambitions past The feeling if it’s lasts, and more importantly what I’m envisioning to grasp By rhyming hymns and psalms Clean my craft, the themes unlike parks More like late teens park themed dark paths Until my dying day, tryna stay humble Making this music for the zoos and the jungles Rather be on a stage near you than C-list starve Celebs in abundance Get me outta there so I can be my opening act Rather be that than a closer in fact Let me share with you the way to keep the loving intact Relax you wanna be a sheep? Just don’t be the wolf in the pack (Chorus) This one’s for the stars The stars, for the stars The stars, for the stars For the stars, yeah, this one’s for you This one’s for the stars The stars, for the stars The stars, for the stars For the stars, yeah, this one’s for you Set your sights high, you wanna be the king in the pack? Better make sure the queen’s got your back A sad death is what you die, head facing the sky 'Cos the clothes never fit the guy like Macbeth This ones’s for the stars! Yeh, you, you and you And after all of the nagging is through Finish school, then let your parents miss you Head for the stars like a space missile They said that you would never make it Like you didn’t equip the dough to bake with This game ain’t like a toy waiting-to-play with When there are serious stakes in all the favourites How you viewing your future? I’m doing me, yes, but what about you bruh? You stuck in your past, or, you trying to move on Forever a student, then maybe a tutor but never a loser (Chorus) Return to the very definition of it Couldn’t leave me further from the fame Even if everybody had to know my name The legacy would be protected by the sane They thump chests outta respect, they claim me to be A master of ceremony, believe How could I not wanna be seen in a three piece on TV With awards at the ceremonies, for real Metal mentalities coupled with fantasies Got me flying galaxies free-fall The champions want the queens cream in medals Swam with the rest now imma leave-her-pool I am the Gerrard of the team was the Torres of your dreams The Carragher for you fiends Everything in between, the spirit from the fans of the league The fam understands what this means (Chorus)
