(Clears throat)
I don't know...
Me,
If you know what I mean,
Just leave me be,
I don't do this,
Uh,
I'm a little fickle, spit it a little bit
Singing it and I'm winging it, till trickle to lyricist
I'm a piggy in the middle when comes to the digits it's
Ridiculous, you picture this, rap like businesses
I jack beats, it's a rare I sell speech
I stole this off Nunny and hacked his PC
Got, in his emails and sent it to me
So it seems it was free, at least legally
Hey, of course I'm only kidding
I'm naked on a golf course mushroom picking
I'm wavy on the WAV forms
Rain when I brainstorm
know where I hail from
Edinburgh living
I'm free
I left the scene
Well I left aw the Facebook shite emcees
What a shit-show, a shadow, of what could be
All the cheap beef please, yer hip-hop's McD's
I don't know about you, but I know about me
So judgements are off, if you know what I mean
You wanna criticise please, least leave me be
I don't do this for you - not a breath I breath
I don't know about you, but I know about me
So judgements are off, if you know what I mean
You wanna criticise please, least leave me be
I don't do this for you in any breath I breath
Yo,
Little Parappa the Rappers
Often come up with banter
Acting larger like they equal this caliber
They've no stamina, they Stan on this patter but
These challengers, they canny cut the captain of canny words
I'm the emcee that emcees stream
I'm the envy of every that pretend to be
I will end ye, if meant to, or feel quite keen
But I tend to, sit back n let them be
I'm free, I left the scene
See The Hip-Hop House was the last degree
Now I've went full circle and back to me
Just Werd n Deek
Like how first on beat
Yeah,
It's the one n only, jabron'y
Gonna moan in story about the music bores me
And if anyone's offended, you've accepted it's you
I didn't say if it fits, I just gave you the shoe
I don't know about you, but I know about me
So judgements are off, if you know what I mean
You wanna criticise please, least leave me be
I don't do this for you - not a breath I breath
I don't know about you, but I know about me
So judgements are off, if you know what I mean
You wanna criticise please, least leave me be
I don't do this for you in any breath I breath
Yo, I really don't like my life
But like you a lot less, so I stay on mic
I'm no fan of the music, it's why I write
To try and counter balance these inadequate rhymes
Yeah, unimaginative, inarticulate
Grime emcees always have the same flow and shit
The whole point in rap is to show own showmanship
Experiment and be yourself
But no, you only follow shit
It's so hollow, so sleepy hollow
I take the heads off, those that borrow
Ghost, ghost,
It's so hollow, so sleepy hollow
Ghost, ghost,
I see through you
Put a fucking pin in that shit like voodoo
I don't know about you, but I know about me
So judgements are off, if you know what I mean
You wanna criticise please, least leave me be
I don't do this for you - not a breath I breath
I don't know about you, but I know about me
So judgements are off, if you know what I mean
You wanna criticise please, least leave me be
I don't do this for you in any breath I breath
(Vocal scratching noises)

I don't ask for a lot (ask for a lot)
Nor know what I want (what I want)
I've no iPhone watch (iPhone watch)
But I still make songs
Okay
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
Yo,
Some rappers would push their own granny
Off a bus for a Grammy
Or some chucky for some Charlie
Addicted to the swally and celebrity parties
Will never will accept themselves, and be happy
Need to advert, yer eyes from the adverts
The photo-shopped lies from some marketing exec's
They're targeting experts, attacking perspective
So you lose self-respect and follow directives
Buy this, buy that,
Getting by on a fart
It smell's funky; all our money is taxed
And going paperless cash
Will only tighten the gap
And take money from the streets into a fat-cat's lap
Hey, rap material - material objects
Object to the serial barcode on projects
I gave it free, never focused on pockets
They always stayed empty - At least I'm honest
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
Money can't buy happiness, but bet that it helps
I put money on a horse, on the course, and it fell
I put a line on the football; 'Come on the Celts'
But the ref's a pure Hun, so lost it as well (ha)
I don't brag, well, really I can't
Overdraft in the bank and my credit has tanked
Scottish Gas sending letters like; pay on demand
Pass it on to debt collectors, are you kidding me man?
Get ignored like a TV licence
People at the door then I'll just stay quiet
I'll sit in silence, and if they try it
I'll just explain; all my streams are pirate
Aye (Arrg) I patch it
Repeat like a captain's parrot
Patch it
Captions to catch this tyrant
Lyrically advised to calm it
But that ship's sailed
Titanic
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
Huh, I could be a better version of me
Says a man on TV, as he's selling me dreams
Now I don't really need it, but you got to agree
That's a pretty cool hover, it comes with four speeds
(Wow) Maybe I'll Just Eat, not cook it myself
I'll make a guy on a bike come carry my meal
See a lot of adverts, all start to appeal
Like 'Hot single girls in your neighbourhood' for real?
Damn pop-up's on HesGoal
Why's it this hard to watch free football?
There's five Scottish games on this afternoon
But Sky Sports is only showing English League Two
Aw, typical, I feel invisible
Maybe they could sell myself some appearing gel
Maybe feel better throwing pennies in a wishing-well
Oh TV, please tell me how I really feel?
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
I don't ask for a lot
Nor know what I want
I've no iPhone watch or a Porsche on the lawn
I've no even got a garden, Is character wrong?
I've no plans to sell out - I don't sell many songs
Nah

Yass, SOS, Listen...
I struggle on a beat that's as happy as this
I've no uplifting shit to compliment it with
I'm depressed, vexed, son an empress
I just can't live up to nothing my ma expects
Yes, There's a party going on
But I'm sitting next door just staring at my phone
I'm better on my own
My heart is fucking gone
I hope you can't relate and it's only my song
Oh no, woe is me
I ain't got no doe
Just the doe ray me
Fa so la tee
Them melodies
From a wee Scottish emcee and honestly
I had cut this, now I'm back with no purpose
My back catalogue looks worthless, judged it
Purged it, get it to fuck it's
Now not who I am - Now who am I?
I don't know
Let's explore
I, know, some things about myself
But I still question who I am
And I still strain my mental health
Going through a bad one
And they say 'hang on'
But for how long?
I'm just asking
Will this sadness ever mend?
As if you care
I'll take pain and I'll put it in song
Share all my thoughts and feelings when I'm sitting alone
Yes, I aware, that I'm doing it wrong
But the therapist was shit and it cost a bomb
Oh well, Just have to accept myself
It's unjust that myself, just upsets myself
Hell, I guess I'll write more to see what other thoughts dwell
Then listen to it back to pick apart where I fell
Tell, a lot of tales
Head's flipped the other way
Werd's always real
Never lied on a single page
Heard a lot of rumours
But there always is, constantly
Concentrate on rap
Pure Chucky to this child's play
(All day) SOS put the call, mate
Funny it became a little something more than rap names
Something at the core, like something to explore
To find one feeling, one meaning to endure
I, know, some things about myself
But I still question who I am
And I still strain my mental health
Going through a bad one
And they say 'hang on'
But for how long?
I'm just asking
Will this sadness ever mend?
I know your there

You expecting somebody?
Yo, okay
Fuck the UK
Fuck the Tories
Fuck sake mate it's the same auld story
Same shite Government we never voted
BREXIT, Exit , c--ts control me
If only, in 14' we got Indy
We'd be watching and laughing, shame it isny
The currency crashed
Right-wing got busy
And Union Jack flags went on haggis and whisky
Shit, won't be happy till they kilt the culture
Put kilts on the burner, I'm tyre'd, punctured
Societies under, the thumb of others
We're plundered unloved and under covered
On BBC and the I.T.V.
On repeat we see dick-head MP's
Big expense claiming
With the offshore savings
And corrupt money making
They just do as they please
Hail Hail, Freedonia
Land of the brave, and, free
Hail Hail, Freedonia
Land of the brave. and. free
Yo, ken what's comedy?
To have a monarchy
In this day and age, in place, is honestly
A mockery, horribly expensive property
Derogatory, to even exist is robbery
We pay tax - you live like that?
We pay tax - for yer diamond hat?
You fly flags - that Union Jack
So stained in blood of lands you ransacked
Fuck the Queen - Royals fuck kids
Fuck food banks - let's eat the rich
We own the water, you drink and fish
And on our own - you'd fall to bits
UK, are you okay?
Britain, mate - who said yer great?
Kids starving in this racist place
The standard of living is a fucking state
Hail Hail, Freedonia
Land of the brave, and, free
Hail Hail, Freedonia
Land of the brave. and. free
I'm angry,
Don't know how you can't be
Sewage in your rivers and they raise your taxes
No petrol, got food-bank-families
Only solution is to 'call in the army'
Gonna ban me? with online laws?
Make protest illegal cause it highlights flaws?
Don't invest in healthcare, invest in war
Yeah, police protect people, but not them all
Bull-dug shit, money the subject
Climate change got the bank's all bursting
Market's flooded, the Earth is hurting
But maybe we can pay the sun not to burn us
Ha, maybe I talk crap in bars
And MP's really need these fast cars
Maybe Elon Musk must go to Mars
Maybe Andrew Marr's feeling really sad
Hail Hail, Freedonia
Land of the brave, and, free
Hail Hail, Freedonia
Land of the brave. and. free
Well, that covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground yourself. You better beat it - I hear they're going to tear you down and put up an office building where you're standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff. You know, you haven't stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle

Hold My Halo ft Riddlah

[Riddlah]
What would you like me to say
That everything's going to be okay?
I don't want to tell you a lie
By saying everything is alright
Everything is alright
But everything is not alright
Everything is not alright
Everything is not alright
[Werd]
Obnoxious, but that's honest
Drop a bomb on the track like I.D.F. forces
Rocking the land like a rocket launches
In Gaza to kill some kid's the choice is
Speak up, or keep shut, the media fear us
When you don't fear them, the games up
So Jesus, let's put down the paintbrush
They coloured in the world and we bought the t-shirt
Take a dove, paint it black, make it unloved
Snap the olive branch and give it back to wee cunt
Now it knows human touch and how we judge
Next steal the nest, sell it back or fuck it up
Man, the earth is so fucked up
Salt in the dirt made us all not grow up
Not evolve, not at all, we all stalled
All crawl, all toil, coil, I am fed up
Could be a hero my halo is gone
I'll end up a zero on same old songs
Here is my ego was once so strong
So long to this life on the mic re-born
I could be a hero my halo is gone
I'll end up a zero on same old songs
Here is my ego was once so strong
Now here lies the end of my poem, gone
[Riddlah]
If you stand up
The police say; stand back
Put your hands up, who do you think that you are
To have an opinion
The 1% are the only people winning
We're living in strange times
Some of this shit just don't seem right
But some of these people just looking for a fight
Because the media is busy controlling their minds
We just want to break free
Try all you want, but you can't break me
Please don't hate me
All I've done is speak truth lately
The world has lost the plot
And dropped a lot of bombs
I've talked a lot and rocked a lot of songs
Not forgot that what was taught was wrong
But we've made our bed
Until we're dead and gone
[Werd]
Could be a hero my halo is gone
I'll end up a zero on same old songs
Here is my ego was once so strong
So long to this life on the mic re-born
I could be a hero my halo is gone
I'll end up a zero on same old songs
Here is my ego was once so strong
Now here lies the end of my poem, gone
Life will, leave behind the nicest
Knives kill here but so does kindness
Those with heart need to hide inside it
Because in these times they've sidelined politeness
In this climate, you've got to be mad
Gotta be offended, got to be raj
Or got to pretended to when life is bad
Cause an empath now is the hardest task
Fall back, yeah we keep in-line
Send a tweet online, with you're piece of mind
But they police online, so please be nice
You don't want to end up in a cell tonight
Put back on you're halo
You best just act the angel
Online trolls on payroll
But how about we do that in stereo?
Could be a hero my halo is gone
I'll end up a zero on same old songs
Here is my ego was once so strong
So long to this life on the mic re-born
I could be a hero my halo is gone
I'll end up a zero on same old songs
Here is my ego was once so strong
Now here lies the end of my poem, gone
