RAISED 03:07
(Intro) I was born with a second job.. Yeah i'm coming from THAT struggle Where if you ain't known to man you can hold a bang Like how'd you like THAT cuddle? This is way more than a rap hustle... Yo.... Yo.... Respect Da Ting! Listen up. I was raised well That don't mean that I won't raise hell. I don't sell drugs so I might not sell Couldn't care less! if you can't tell Coolie Hair I don't need no gel Styled like this they call me Miguel  Yeah I got a spice n I call her Mel  In your recent form all I see is L'S... 'Cos I was raised well not well off, Yes-I found something I was set on and set off, No-I ain't someone you can tell on or tell off, Famalam I do not let on I let off Call everyone's bluff I'm dead on I dead off Call everyone blood, red on or red off But know that Dark0's my brother,  Fam I swear I that I could pull 'sen' off  I was raised well not-dragged up Trust Any funny biznezz gets flagged up  lewisham road with man with a shank tucked- That road next to the Tescos flats Bruv! Joint enterprise coulda seen man banged up Two hooded black boys weren't clocked that's...luck Been riding my luck ever since Guys wanna come in my face never flinch I just switch never hint.. If I Fight for my life you can't live I'm going..going..gone you can't bid  hammers been brought down it is what it is I was so grime I couldn't write a bridge.. Too much to live for couldn't Knife ya ribs Don't say he never needed that fam he did!  Man got a hiding then he hid... Cos I'm from the square just not that circle The Bad boy ting is dead, I saw the bad boy ting i went left Meaning - I did me instead You can what you want in Jest  I'll make you Eat your words ingest- them  Me and my pen are best friends But it's not far away its no pen friend! I've Been on mic since Ant n Declan Fake one tens in West-end I'm a stand-up guy no question I'm a stand-up guy no heckling Bankrupt guys wanna add 2cents in  Man are 2 faced on a Harvey Dent ting -  I'm really a roll with all the de-friending!  My name's Paris...I'm not P-money but I land on heads when i flip ... 32 waste men joined at the hip  Buss blanks, must be the snip You're not a bad boy not even a smidge I'm going inside regardless  I told them just let me do the tip Because they weren't there when manny got ripped  When I lit up the mic with a skank that's stiff After which it's like which gal should I pick!? I cross gal that's tick Here's summa da Henny and coke for  a sip And These guys won't last very long so I'm the battery life in a brick And I heard about what they did -trust them  .... don't trust them that's how it is So many domestics where I lived  Me I got nits I was friends with the kids We yam the whole apple including the pips Then i got government help for my kicks And they tell me stay out of harms way But that's my address, that's where I live..  See I'm not bad...my area is.. (Tell them straight) I'm not bad...my area is... I'm not bad...my area is...but I still have faith

Mmmmhmm mmm Mmmmhmm mmm I was so cold... They never said that it was easy.. This feeling that I have won't leave me.. It won't leave no... Watch this space but not this face ... I was Dman before I met Dman Super before I shot with Capes May 8, 25 candles on a chocolate cake If you don't cut it, I chop n change I'm on it like sonic imposter mates I'll jump on man like its the Robotnik stage Foolish guy, forgot his place I drain the colour from a doctors face They wish that weren't the case What can they bring to me? All they've got is grapes I've been thinking alot So I Stopped and prayed On the same knees That I dropped on n grazed I'm from a race that was enslaved For the profit that cotton made.. But I'm ok in the UK Even if Me n mum Top n' tailed.. They can't see the vision you can do a lot with brail So safe for following my Adopted trail.. Some of the plans I concocted failed But I've gotta do something. Forget being locked in jail- I've got faith I'm sticking to my guns And there ain't no more to it And when a situation comes and there ain't no way through it I'm gonna switch it up on them 'cos I've got faith I'm gonna switch it up on them 'cos I've got faith I'm gonna switch it up on them 'cos I've got faith (Swear I'm gonna) switch it up on them 'cos I've got faith I'm gonna be upfront you need P upfront It's been slow but a breakthrough came through.. well†actually 3 at once I saw red then the lights went green at once Waste mans still wanna call a tree a stump But I'm over here knowing I'm over here growing Tryna get doe in I'm over here owing Tryna be a shoe in never dipping a toe in and when I'm skipping and flowing I get deep but never written a poem Just tryna get seen like a cinema showing then leave a footprint as if it were snowing then check my bredrin with a riddim to show him. and I-wanna see man united cross the line it isn't a throw in Said I wanna see man united but cross the line and it isn't a throw in So polite but won't ask permission to go in 012 I had two choices-employment or spitting I made a decision Contributed to the house that I live in Got slow money to quicken They get panic stricken when they hear my voice 'Cos they know that I won't forget And they know that they aren't forgiven But I could never get one of my dargs to sick 'em I'm staying away from the ways of the curbs and the prison Progression will cut 'em to ribbons Kept up my mental condition in a war of attrition I've got the world at my feet.. Ever since I was born and the doctor decided to flick 'em Unshakeable faith.. even though I weren't planned or christened Respect da ting! I'm sticking to my guns And there ain't no more to it And when a situation comes and there ain't no way through it I'm gonna switch it up on them cos I've got faith I'm gonna switch it up on them cos I've got faith I'm gonna switch it up on them cos I've got faith (Swear i'm gonna) switch it up on them cos I've got faith I'm sticking to my guns And there ain't no more to it And when a situation comes and there ain't no way through it I'm gonna switch it up on them cos I've got faith I'm gonna switch it up on them cos I've got faith I'm gonna switch it up on them cos I've got faith (Swear i'm gonna) switch it up on them cos I've got faith...

VICE VERSA 02:43
Baby Yeah.. Baby Yeah.. I don't know if it's something in the water It's B-Blind leading the blind who taught ya? T-Time's money and I can't afford ya †I've been waiting on you... Talkin' bout On the phone and pacing the room Taking the rough with the smooth Too real to -pick n choose.. And we can have different views I can't judge your life.. Cos I ain't lived it too... (That's fair) Said I can never†judge your life baby girl Cos I ain't lived it too.. I need to know if that's vice versa Cos if it ain't we need to change our temperature All now I'm sensing†how our energies are different... But we can work it out Hey. I didn't cuff, but I did enough I don't flip the script- I rip it up You had the power before but I had it after we.... I followed through I improved I Invested time in you I think that I'm owed time in lieu Tell me you never kept another guy in view They should work on their approach... They just don't respect the borders Watch these cat callers get blessed with daughters and maybe now they'll find it awkward I know I keep saying- but I'm a Taurus- and we find it hard to listen and on top of that I'm a creative- and we ain't the best with timing and commitment Oh lord... I don't mind fighting with you if we're fighting for something you're at the front of the que don't let nobody jump in.. It's been overdue glad we had this discussion We should be a Power couple.. Fuck being in a power struggle I need to know if that's vice versa Cos if it ain't we need to change our temperature All now I'm sensing† how our energies are different... But we can work it out But we can work it out But we can work it out... What that they say? No Friction.. No spark.

FRICTION 02:57
So Cold... Yeah.. Yeah...Hey. I know this ain't one sided You only lied once I did They wanna know what's going on I just reply that I'll live You're getting questions from your best friends But I know you stayed tight lipped Till u caved and confided And they still don't know who to side with Woah First time for everything I guess This was the first time everything was blessed I deliver like the post man but I need everything addressed I'm so cold.. I didn't wanna cause no friction with you- You're the one that I run to- They're just the ones that I run tru.. Guess it was nothing to hide 'till it was something she hid... She told me its "nothing, it's fine.." But it's something I did.. When you were far away that gave me something to miss The law of attraction's really something legit I'm tryna stay up-like I'm stuck in a lift I need a house in the city ..And one in the sticks But can't live with myself..who cares where I live. I know you've been watching me closely You saw my picture and her emoji.. I called you crazy But baby low key That's what I say when I get caught out There's a whole 'nother side of you that I brought out I'm responsible I know I just wanted to ease you in I never wanted to rock-the-boat... can you see where I'm coming from? I had issues you were not to know - I apologise I didn't wanna cause Friction with you Cos I showed conviction with you Being physical is too much too soon But it never feels that way n we'll never heal that way But I'll stop second guessing you If you stop second guessing me I think I've got a remedy..can you separate your love from your jealousy? Ohh...ohh..ohh.. baby

SAFE HAVEN 03:09
Hey...hey...hey...yeah.. So let me be your safe haven When this world is mistaken So let me be your safe haven When this world is mistaken They don't get you no.. And they won't want you to grow But you won't need no one else.. Maybe you can tell... See i'm better than I've ever been now I've found that heroine And no I ain't talking a drug My head's in the clouds So many air miles I'm clocking up She keeps it 100 Don't need topping up You-just-can't-compare it The wrong person calls I'll air it. I'm gonna bare my soul.. Can you bear it? See I appreciate that you came to see me They don't like it when I make you my DP They wanna copy me in everything like a CC... But from now on they'll find it harder to reach me... I swear.... (I swear) I swear.... (I swear) I swear.... (I swear) I swear... yeahh-oh.. Safe Haven. You put your faith in me (Eternally grateful, Eternally Eternally grateful) imma pay it back And I love you..you ain't gotta say it back Live your truth and I'll live mine Live your truth Just live your truth Oh live your truth and I will live....mine Just go and take..time And we will be.. fine You can close your eyes You're Safe. Bless you.
