Lyrics
Lyricist : Joel Baker/James Vickery/Jordy Mukeza

Composer : Joel Baker/Timothy James Worthington

I look above to know

What you leave behind

And I’ll find my way, back to sunlight

I’ll go so fast you’ll chase me

My baby teeth were once mine

Verse

The Light it always finds a way

Heights warn me of my climbs a stray

Still I climb still I yearn still I strive away

No brakes yet I pedal this race

All my hero’s are dead or disgraced

Potential in my mind

Foreign coins in a drawer

I know they’re worth something

But unsure of what for

I’m hard to cancel

like a free trial

But my hang ups about my self

And my art aren’t afraid to redial, meanwhile

I’ve been breaking eggs for some sunny thoughts

When will I learn stillness harbours all I hurry for

Give to caesar what is caesar’s

When the money talks

But my greed is so uninformed

Lift the lid on my love and there is hate beneath

All my dreams fell apart but they were baby teeth

Yeah there’s bigger to come

If I listen to some

Give me the wisdom to stay

Or the wisdom to run

I’ve been Fast asleep

My mum spent her whole life planting trees

The shade of their leaves she never sat beneath

That’s the meaning of life

I’ve been left shipwrecked now I’m seeing it right

What’s climbing ladders,

When you know that kindness matters

My friends are my wealth Now I know that My friends are my wealth

Been trying to be a better friend to my friends and myself

Sometimes I feel older than people that are my age

Man are talking ‘bout the wave but they’re in the sunken place

I’ve been on many a stage showcasing all my ability

I’m better than them lyrically I guess I’m just not gimmicking

The truth though

So I’m still managing

But you know how the truth goes

N****s can’t manage it

My n****s doing up OTs in other territories

I been OT in the booth doing up melodies

That’s two for one to keep it on a truthful one

The best rapper I know

Don’t rap he’s got a move to run

I don’t tryna be grateful and tasteful and keep my karma clean

I don’t wanna get shadeborough’d into a drama scene
