Lyrics
DEVIL
Chorus:
Hoping my true muthafuckas know
this be the realest shit I ever wrote.
Up in the studio as a foe
for the stupid truest shit I spoke.
Verse 1:
Here's my naked truth I address to you.
Through a rebel
but the devil had to dress it new.
A level I can't settle
called the pot and kettle black
when my heart in fact is not
any less of dull than that.
They say, for Pete's sake
you lagging on your classic tracks.
Pushin back release dates.
My album might not be dropped
suffer same fate as the Dre Detox.
Without a pot to piss in.
Took a job and wishin'
I could stop with spitting on jacked beats.
Sweat for a cheque. Saw the digits.
nearly ripped it . Psyche!
Hey money's still money right?
with the CPF cut fuck them bitches.
Can't say I'm too young
for retirement chip-ins.
When my chips is down
I'm Still a chip off
the old block
got my old pops pissed off.
For insistin cuts
from my 1st and 15th every month
Early retirement wishes.
I'll fulfill yours
so dad pls accept that Im starting small.
To get u that farm u wanted.
I'll keep that promise
when the day arrives
before I die word is bond.
Put Kwizyne on the table watch it turn.
Put food on the table
but he can't earn. To begin with,
Music ain't a business
if they askin me for free,
While I can see them eat.
Online Producers overcharging beats.
Audio engineers overcharging mix.
How the fuck do you recoup
just with iTunes and gigs.
We can't hate on napster
when we all benefit
I only approach the good ones
they ain't free.
By the time I got my savings
they ain't free.
seems like in Singapore I fathom
most of those with albums can also make beats.
Some with pocket fats, some with connects.
But something bout they eyes
make em hard to contact.
Is it my race or I ain't CEO to u?
Taisuke's shadow giving me shade
Whoever wins it's still 1or8.
I may hate u today but I'm still 1or8.
Monkey King said he signed me coz of my old shit.
He ain't feel my new new.
said I sound dope on Acquired Taste
while I incept in his dream
my new sounds is just an acquired taste.
Life is short God, forgive me that I backslide
but once I'm satisfied my ass will slide back
Sacrificed my Saturdays to 1or8
took my Sunday back from God.
Skip church just to skip tithe.
Tight budget for the murder of my first child
I spilled blood of an innocent
Incident, NO willingness to man up
Admitting it.
Im banned from the pearly gates.
No chance to be ur dad. I'm sorry babe...

@Ruzz45 Cheers for the comment Ruzz! No worries though!
Actually the first few parts ain't my lyrics. I'm just quoting the late great rapper Tupac. Alotta rappers do it like Jay-Z quotes Biggie's lyrics alot in his song. The Tupac song I quoted is "Against All Odds"
Peep this late remix video I did called "iLOVE" Cheers Ruzz! Thanks for the feedback again!

tbh I felt it sounded a little pretentious. Since this is after all local music then we really don't have to do the whole American hiphop slang with all the 'motherfuckas' and 'realest' imho.
don't get me wrong though... Im definitely rooting for local talent. hope to see the day when hiphop in singapore is on par with american standards.GL
