One two
Nostalgia’s no what it used to be
ICE T TMNT
WWF way before it was WWE
Back in the D A Y
It was something to see
But fuck me
Had no idea what a cunt could achieve
In the summer breeze bumping 2 P A C
No giving a fuck if they bams
From the other scheme hate me
Mate I was free
Popped my C in 93
Looked the part but I was wee
That’s how it went in Penilee
R I P the dub U G
They said O D
But I know it was they cunts that Threatened to shoot me
Ow wee DRE Snoop DO Double G
Getting ugly telling birds suck it and see
With my muckas in the T
Close puffing the tree
Some history gets rewrote
But I'll keep it hundreds with ye
Cause when it comes to wayward sons I'm Scotland's
M O G
M O Problems
Check
We went kerby to pitchy
Irn Bru mixed with vodka or whisky
Drunk getting lifted
Keeping them busy
No comment
Crash at a mates
Heading home late
Many mistakes and walks of shame
The gigs didn't pay
Had no radio play
Got told Scots can't rap
Did it anyway
We kept at it won an award
Still unpaid but more applause
My old mates going
To raves with mad jaws
But I found a scene
Where my heart belonged
I was only fifteen doing my first gig
Now twenty years later
Feel like the same kid
A lot of lives around me have wasted it
I'm still trying to decide if that shoe fits

Cult Leaders feat Deeko
03:03
|
|||
Rap habit I'm back on my bat shit
Crazy apparatus casting this dark magic
Dead savage back from the carnage
Holding the carcass embedded
On my antlers
My pen game on
Pentagrams backwards
I'm chick-a Werd chicken bones
On a goat’s head
Fire up a little fucking prayer
To the highest ones
Looking in the mirror asking
God if I aren't one
And I'll send a fucking prayer on advent
To open up doors
Like a calendar I'll ascend
And my admin will send
You an email to caption
My drastic interaction with rap ken
Pricks like cactus
Jack you for jack shit
Cracked ribs makes
Cactus Jack look mad fit
Adlib
Generic fucking rap throwing tantrums
Ten tabs down who's tripping
On a bad one
I traveled over the killing fields
Looking for the show
Made my way across the desert sand
Shoveled through the snow
Disbelieved my lying eyes
Questioned everything I know
Cut my teeth on petty scripture
You live learn and grow
I loaned my ears to wizardry
Gave myself to art
Satisfied my curiosity
And gambled with my heart
Took a road that hadn’t known
The heavy tread of my kind
Searched the earth
And never found a single
Thing a want to find
If the blind lead the blind
I'm behind the divine
There's Christ in my crimes
And mines are a sign of the times
No right in my mind
Maligned with my life on the line
Fighting the signs
Sliding from the height of my prime
Fine
It's the Almighty's design
I've wined and dined with titans
Who're too frightened to change
Saw my light shine brightest
In a tidal of shrines
And rolled dice with a Bible of rhymes
Yo
Stand down tell my dogs go sick them
No convictions I’m a voyeur
Like how jigsaw did it
I can bring harm quicker
Than an anti vax speaker
At an antifa rally
In a proud boy’s t-shirt
I never understood
Why you listen to cult leaders
Who feed off the weak
Then give you advice
How to live decent
I’d rather be a leader myself
Convince people to give
Me all of their money
Get to fuck them as well
Look
Now how the fuck am I going to sell
My next release I’ll
Have Derren Brown do the intro
Put you under a spell
Look
You won’t see me on tour
But I can handle it
My demographic is jakies
Who really don’t
Have the cash to spend
My style is hazardous
You really should not listen
My bars are snuff films
That shit will just stay with you
Until you lose your mind
It takes over you feel finished
Listen if you really want to end
It we won’t miss you

Meant Tae Be

One two one two
Been more than a decade
I'm still in love with you
Constantly surprising me
Fueling me with something true
Another day another wonderful view
Every second I'm inside
You feels comfy but new
You never done me wrong
Literally the opposite
Changed my negativity
Instantly to positive
Guess it was meant to be
You’re the one that's meant for me
Blessed be your presence
In my memory
Even when I leave
I fantasize of coming home to you
Knowing that you'll always
Be the same waiting patiently
Staying stationary
Never going to change on me
Blatantly embarrassing me
Which always amazes me
I can't stray from you
Hate to be away from you
I'm the man you made of me
You’re such a rarity
You’re home to me
Guess the gutter wasn't
Cherish what you gave to me
Edinburgh city
I see the same streets
30 years of concrete
Some see the castle and Arthur's Seat
I see a sea of council greed
Council estates in a state of need
We've been looking after JoJo
And counting trains in sleep
Climb through toilets
And I guess it seems nice to move here
Till the rent is due
Edinburgh you’re a fucking funny one
I both love you and hate the cunt
I'm not done
You’re turning into a small London
Just don't go full turn
It's a fairy tale town
But people don't live in fairy tale now
It's a fairy tale good tale of the town
Just hope that it stays somehow

Bleeding Wax feat InJoke
03:37
|
|||
I contemplate in my head least
Something that I'm good at
Self-commentary I narrate
A narrative through music
This chip on my shoulder
I added salt to it
Taste of vinegar was bottled up
Now amplified to use it
I'd rather speak my mind
Even if it's lost or broken
Think writing out a rhyme
Creates lines in creative process
Like psilocybin influence
Pathways are newly opened
Though thoughts can overload
And some doors they aren't for closing
Releases are important
Outlets for stress
When words are left unsaid
These recordings make amends
When masculinity
It may be criticized in west
It can also give off strength
If not toxic in the end
Just write about self
And not to be agreed with
Speaking out my mind
So that anyone may hear it
Thoughts should be no secret
And if it's something you'd not share
It's probably lurking
As a negative causing despair
Not that you'd guess it
Way we breeze it in a track
Only list longer than regrets we share
Are ones we're keeping yap
So don't mind me
Need two or three to ease the chat
And these lights have become shadows
And we need these to keep them back
So steaming keep them cheerful
Search for needles in the stack
And hear that pin drop
The only way we can relax
Making bare attempts means
Ending up all honeybees and traps
And these forbidden fruits we're eating
Are all made of bleeding wax
So do something or you'll cry
But we aren’t that keen to laugh
That routine leading
To that Groundhog Day
Scene with the bath
And in the room with no windows
Still can't escape from seeing cracks
So I boarded up the doors
And even paint the ceiling black
Working from the top down
It's that creepy steeple jack
It's that same old bad penny
That's been cleaned
Whilst steeped in jack
Thirty pieces of silver
For the character we lack
It's that gold for the soul
Keep receipts and plead it back no
There's something heavy wrong
When the gutter
And the swamp gets bombed
And the fuckers at the top get comp’d
So the mucker's get gone
Cause cunts are headstrong
And the government’s
At fucking def con
We're heading for war
Drunk on the finest
My fucks are in the minus
I'll ride this to all
That’s done is behind us
Cunts are wildest when
Their fucked on the wine it's
A fucking curse it's the climate
We're burdened up
With the urge to fight till they find us
Your society’s fucked chief
Look at all these cunts
That done brush teeth
And these mums that don't bust feed
All these birds that'll fuck me
It’s the one three the unlucky
From the Burg to the Dundee
The dust to the dust and the fung shui
Or the feng shui
Sensei show them that their left way
Means that they'll be left with
Nothing but regret hey
Lucked into rhyming righteous
One time for your mind
Fucked if your finding likeness

Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays
Tricks and I question it
What is existence for
Stuck in a presence of mind
With no one present
My thoughts decline
Chat to myself
And write some rhymes
Complain about life
Just to past the time
Oh my God
Feeling broken a bit
So if you exist can
You explain some shit
Fuck this looking
Like Earth's destruction
So if generated
This files corrupted
Stick on the VR
Online find
I am sitting at space bars
A blank line from
Tapping up the bar maid
Return with caps locks
And hashtag memories
Yeah control alt delete
To your whole team
Can't escape the blue screen
Shouldn't unplug this machine
Digital dream
Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays
Tricks and I question it
What is existence for
Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays
Tricks and I question it
What is existence for
Been on my mind a lot lately
Debating whether it's love or tainted
Wishing I could think straightly
Got this liquor and a spliff sedated
Thank the ones that stuck by my side daily
Gonne make a change fucking pay me
Things can be such a juxtaposition
Used to be depressed
Now I got ambition
Use my voice wise
Hope it resonates when you listen
Never looking back
Intuition
No think twice
Lose your way
Pay the price
Play life like dice
At the end of the day it's your choice
When the world’s gone to shit
Whose goanna quit
Who stays fit
If there's war he's equipped
I ain't ever losing it
Only improving it
Here to make history
Won't let them ruin me
No more misery
When I'm gone
They be missing me
Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays tricks
And I question it
What is existence for
Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays
Tricks and I question it
What is existence for
Hell of a view
Staring at the stars in the sky
As I'm contemplating
Why it's so hard to die
Sitting on the turf
Where the farmers thrive
Rooted to the ground
While the martyr’s fly
Gardener’s fry working in Eden
Fathers cry suffering bleeding
Charmers lie they done
Too much reading
Now they're tripping over every
Two words they're speaking
Mothers grieving
Holding their young as they're leaving
Hoping their lungs are still breathing
Nobody loves with good reason
Who do you believe in
Show me above I need Jesus
But the pieces don't fit
Don't know where my soul sits
Don’t know where my hope or my home is
But you know what
Last night I was looking at the sky
And I saw the whole globe glitch
Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays
Tricks and I question it
What is existence for
Looking up at the sky
And I swear it glitched
Looking for a shooting star
I know the mind plays tricks
And I question it
What is existence for

Empty Plate feat InJoke
03:16
|
|||
Yes S O S
Werd Mog and InJoke
Holding a skull like Hamlet
To be or not to be
To achieve or accept normality
To breath free to some degree
God damn it
Could never add it up
My mathematics was good enough
But formula used had an evasive touch
Or some bits removed
To confuse our worth
Fuck this Earth
Seen enough dirt and souls that hurt
Seen some grow but the sunlight froze
Over most of the coast
In rains too much
When the bairns need lunch
We shouldn’t need to ask Rashford
A failure of state that we didn’t observe
An empty plate shouldn’t
Need discussed
Check the compass
Check directions
And it seems there’s
More than three degrees
Between me and you
So build a wall from stone
Draw lines in the sand
In time
The colours bleed through
This is the race in which horses will fall
The endings been televised
Nobody calls
This the descent
This the limitless crawl
And this is becoming the myth of us all
Denying the devil we hid in his thrall
Denying his gifts
And his gimmicks and all
Best wishes
Lie back and assume the position
And think of the mission is all
Avoid chat
Bicker and brawl
It's that Floyd act
Brick in the wall
Best be appalled
Flowered profanity
Vanity where all
The lyrics are scrawled
Asking for balm
And I’m giving them salt
Things a man does
When you limit his calls
You've taken his will
But he gives it his all
If Sampson relaxes
Then no prisons fall
Check the compass
Check directions
And it seems there’s
More than three degrees
Between me and you
So build a wall from stone
Draw lines in the sand
In time
The colours bleed through
One two
I pulled the sword from
The stone when I cracked the mold
Stole your broken heart
Sold you back your soul
I’ll approximately exact a toll
Then posthumously
Come back to gloat
I’ve been trying to get cunts
To stop saying goat
Cause it’s gayer than a sailor
On a boat made of soap
If you know you know
If you don’t then you don’t
Cunts want me to pose
For a phone but I wont
People try and clone
Every poem that I’ve wrote
Thinking I’m a rouge
But I’m wholesome as hope
Knocked heavens door
Wearing robes like the pope
Cold to the core
Stoned from the dope
I hope they boak I loath they folk
I choked the woke
With a home-made rope
Roamed the road till
It brought me home
Followed the flow
Do-si-do
