ANECDOTES
Never been to London Town
But I’ve crossed many bridge in life
I had a man say that he love the songs
In a year, be a millionaire that’s right
I paid for all his kids, I spent my money so naive
We had a meeting with the press, they fought, he said she was a bitch
And I knew right then that I got robbed so blind
My folks had warned me plenty times
I was flaunting newfound success
With no audience to impress
That time I quit my job, to be a part of a draft idea
Went broke, four hour shifts in Plat, I got some grand ideals
Flew home in perfect timing, I spent a thousand dollars in some hotel
Thinking I was bout to make it big but if only I could tell
That year, did ten shows in Poneke and Otepoti, up here in Tamaki
My only meal down there was some Oreos and chips
I mean, man what a ride
Thirty dollars upfront for the room
That’s the steepest hill I’ve seen
Can’t compare to any view
Starving, searching
Talking real up in the bathroom
As the world go, I hope you know
I hope you, I hope you
If you cut me open, you would find Pantone 356 C
Anecdotes just pouring out straight from the dome
That night we land in Seoul
Never met like this at a new bar,
Don’t know where to park my car yeah
How many fines have been on my guard?
Oh I meant to say shield but that’s topical
Yeah what did cost? Yeah, playing at odds
Every set that I have, gotta prove I got talent and charm
In Welly, I fumbled the ball, the elements to making art
Visions of old friends, my 26th out in the tropics
Saying they didn’t believe in the music
Man, I was like right next door
But I didn’t really mind it, I need that gas sometimes
Speaking in perfect timing, I was past being exhausted
Piha at 9pm, work around 5, we were filming the short
Next summer we threw our own festival, me and the team
And you still have doubts bout the heat?
Thirty dollars upfront for the room
That’s the steepest hill I’ve seen
Can’t compare to any view
Starving, searching
Talking real up in the bathroom
As the world go, I hope you know
I hope you, I hope you
Look I didn’t really mind it, I need that gas sometimes
Speaking in perfect timing, I was past being exhausted
These are the times of our lives, yeah I’m taking lots of videos
I can’t forget anything, no why would I even try?
Said, I didn’t really mind it, I need that gas sometimes
Speaking in perfect timing, I was past being exhausted
These are the times of our lives, yeah I’m taking lots of videos
I can’t forget anything, no why would I even try?
DND
I don’t wanna talk on myself but
I flame the aux when we sat
Designer on all my clothes
Yeah, looking so brat
Pesos up in my wallet
Got old receipts for new problems
Snot coming out from both nostrils
Being this high with no chance of stopping, woah
Dining out on the sidewalk, yeah place is booked
Didn’t have time to call but it’s nice and calm with the band behind us in overalls
Spot someone that I used to know do a double take on that final song
Feel like I was getting way too hype but that’s all just a part of life
You know, back in 09
Walking home felt like ten and heaven was living in France
Back in fourteen, hanging in Paris, yeah, had my first shot at sixteen
And she wanna kiss, we were up North, first floor, dancing all night, she’d seen me
Look back and I wince, but I stay stacking on multiple wins
So I just, I just
Get to the stu
It’s dim, talking bout pressure it’s thin
I write a verse in a minute, what is this?
Some call it a trick
I don’t wanna talk on myself but
When I’m on the mic, it’s Cebu sourced
Manhattan ahead no other choice
All my life baby that’s been the course so
DND, you can’t reach me
Yeah you can call but
DND, you can’t reach me
(You wanna talk to me)
DND, you can’t reach me
Yeah you can call but
DND, you can’t reach me
(You wanna talk to me)
Me and my girl abroad
30 degrees, the sum, no wax on cut
Too sticky to run my hands through making out under the sun
Chatting while on the subway, Maps on
We got a res at this new spot and I heard at lunch, it’s all fresh
So I’m half aware what she’s said, I’m flawed
Watching the game, posting a reel, hoping my team take it all this year
Putting my swag back on when the camera up and we cheese
Grateful, I’m faithful, got Dance in my head in both ways
My hero, my angel, why would I gamble if I’ve won what they’re still plain?
Yeah, bus to the province, think about everything, I mean everything
No cell-service on E, the cities I been to, pains that I’ve learned from
Drip that I used to have was off beat
Limited self-expression type beat
I had no sense that I was not free
Now I know nothing well but I’m me
And I just, I just
Get to the stu
It’s dim, talking bout pressure it’s thin
I write a verse in a minute, what is this?
Some call it a trick
I don’t wanna talk on myself but
When I’m on the mic, it’s Cebu sourced
Manhattan ahead no other choice
All my life baby that’s been the course so
DND, you can’t reach me
Yeah you can call but
DND, you can’t reach me
(You wanna talk to me)
DND, you can’t reach me
Yeah you can call but
DND, you can’t reach me
(You wanna talk to me)
You only hear me on the mic just how I like
SEWED PIECES
I don’t wanna be in my bag
Showing no emotion when I wanna just dance
Girlfriend got me on my toes, I stand
My big dawg confidence getting outta hand
I get there, say what’s up and spit fire
Then the crowd go wild, same vibes as 09
Game 5, get knocked out, like my teeth
My dental cost same price as my fleece
Whip get towed, pay pics with my feet
I crawl home, it’s no shame, a new day
Powered by the solar, I’m blessed
Don’t beat round bushes, if I’m needing their breath
Distracted by the internet, calling my friends
Like where are we headed to? Whole block stressed
But the groove so good like uh
Time steps with my two step uh
Ooh-ooh
Living the sweet life
I wanna house so big, we fit
Losing every inch of my pride like kid
Day dreaming, I stay scheming, I go south when I seek peace
And sewed pieces,
Bare butt naked when I speak my meanings
Ray “Where the party at? I got a bone to pick with the DJ man”
When I’m in the zone, I gotta pick it apart and give it breath of fresh air
Nobody coming to mind when everybody ask me who was there from the start
But the groove so good like uh
Time steps with my two step uh
I ain't perfect but I'm trying
I get reckless when I'm pressed
Living at the speed of light
Speed of light
Ooh-ooh
Living the sweet life
