Wake up,
Don’t blame the world
before you blame yourself
How can you say they
sleeping on you when
your eyes are closed?
Sampai bila kau nak
ikut mana angin tiup?
Takleh tidur, takleh tidur,
mata takleh tutup

Stand up
You want a seat
but never earned it
Used to be outside
but now you wanna
close the curtains
Holding yourself back
because you’re scared
of feeling hurt again
The healing with no medicine
It turned you to an addict
3rd of 4 siblings
It wasn’t perfect
but was family
My first dose of mental health
was mothers with anxiety
Fuck a tattoo, I was
swimming in the ink
Of God’s pen,
This goes one of two ways:
will I sink or will I swim?

Rat race,
This is Singapura,
wanna make it? You got one way
Fuck your colour,
moola, dollar signs
is what we all speak
Every morning dead
people up in the MRT
Knew that I could never,
I can’t knock 'em,
but it’s not me
Multi scholar, model student,
valedictorian (yes!)
Leader, public speaker,
even fucking made it on TEDx!
I was doing everything
correctly til one fateful day
I felt somebody tapping
on my shoulder and
everything changed
My best friend Azri
said, “Bro, when we finish class,
Let’s go sit down somewhere
nice and write some fucking raps!”
Caution: If you say yes,
it’s permanent, you can’t go back
4 years later dropped out,
Ddim
life really comes at you fast

Full-time artist
signed to Def Jam SEA
Working as a waiter
while I’m in a major label
(That was success to me)
Made it out of my depression
(That was success to me)
Made her smile instead of cry
(That was success to me)
Long line of hurt and agony
And when I slipped,
I felt my ancestors
were looking at me
To break patterns
there was only one
thing I could say:
Fuck my ancestors,
Bdim
I don’t like them anyway

Bila kau cari,

kamu takkan make it far

Number satu Singapura
and this shit ain’t
even motherfucking close yet
Used to cry at the
credit scenes now I walk
around with no closure
Buncha lambs in a goat cloak,
senang tipu dua-dua kambing
Pelakon, pelakon, pelakon,
They wanna be players,
but really they cutscenes

You can’t hide in no marquee
Tear the tent down,
ain’t no parties
What the fuck
they celebrating for?
I don’t give a fuck
if it’s not me
Popped out in your quarter
Popped out in my city,
on the map
Tell your buddies
that I’m back, boy,
It’s a wrap!

Gimme That Footwork!
Step one-two
I got the boys,
Ain’t got no crew
Takleh compare
Kau dan aku
Gua no rapper
with a silver spoon
Tetap suap lu
Don’t step in my shoes
What you really know
about big stepping?
Aku dah penat with all
of that friend shit
If you wanna talk,
then talk to the hand, bitch!

Your pop out was an interlude
Whole time, elephant
was in the room chilling
Yeah I like me some Domino’s
while I watch 'em fall in
slow motion, get me?
I never touched a check
til I earned my stripes
Dorang nak cepat,
ok bro, get it!
I wanna splash,
but they want a microwave,
Okay, you got 1 minute!
