Intro
It’s in the genes
confidence and presence runs through the jeans from adolescence that’s a trait that u can’t measure
I know that my traits are treasures handed down
Like this is yours now run with it do better it’s in the genes I’ve always had a keen eye from knee high an ear for melodies and rhyme patterns and high fashion never been one for catting
Check the pattern there’s no lacking im active.
It’s in the genes
Running joke I’m on smoke if it’s disrespect high intellect will dissect anyone who crosses me I’ve bin a baller that’s facts it’s hereditary
It’s in the genes
Mastered the art to stay quiet and let them chatty patties talk the most
it ain’t in me to brag or boast but i lay foundations bricks and moats for my daughters remember what daddy taught you be your best at anything and don’t let anyone tell you your not special because your more than special
Being specials in your genes
We’ve always kept a smile on our face whatever’s happened
No capping
Be your own person never follow
practice what you preach work on your craft and be your best.
It’s in the genes

verse 1
Energy never dies it only multiplies you get what you put out that's just the rules we go by opposite forces yin and yang I told my little bro you need to help yourself before any man cuz no ones out to lend a hand when your deep in that sand people come and go and disappear alakazam protect your spirit cut the negative forces be yourself dont force it thats just me you've got your own mind don't get persuaded by them bad mind redesign your outlook on life we've got one life so live it stress free I do muay Thai to relax and meditate daily cuz life has its ups and downs I'm just sailing these seas Karmas full circle 360 degrees I'm tryna half my losses and focus on pees elevate yourself we all have needs take a shot and hit a target like its call of duty I'm on evolving bettering self my mainframes got me focused well I know myself I'm my own competition I'm free I'm in the drivers seat not the back seat I'm still climbing mountains its peak but its progress I say it with my chest I'm my biggest organ so I'm all in don't let your head play you stay true to what you know thats the biggest move I'm not a regular dude
(Chorus)
Can't always get what you want sometimes you attract who you are don't worry about loosing sleep there's no shame in focus evolving what you need.
rift
who you are you can get what you want

Nathaniel Data ft Jimmie black
Trying trying trying trying do it yourself just to better yourself keep trying trying trying try yeah
Another lost soul caught up in the cycle the streets ahead of him all friends took the piss cuz all he wanted was a fag and spliff so they dipped out when they seen him pass by cuz he couldn’t afford shit he got caught up in the mix now he’s begging man for lifts he used to be the man on the football pitch now he’s moving from house to house looking for a place to kip couple man told him fix up but his view on things was always mixed friends and fam didn’t wanna know feelings were never shown so he walks around his ends in a world of another lost soul head down where ever he goes with worn clothes struggling to get by on his own cuz depressions got his mind froze with a speech impediment like n n no so he’s wary about where he goes trapped on the ends like a fiend on road but he don’t care as long as greens about to take his mind off life he’s alright. The streets are home so his home don’t feel like home anymore so he hides behind a smile whilst picking fag butts off the floor to put in his next draw stuck in his second child stuck in his second child hood DAMN
Trying trying trying trying do it yourself just to better yourself keep trying trying trying try yeah
Trying trying trying trying do it yourself just to better yourself keep trying trying trying try yeah
You know cold nights you know dark days you know yourself nothing will ever take your pain away so you hide away in your feelings mostly some say your dreaming others say your dozy can’t beat a tryer even when your friends deny you you keep your head held high cuz better days are why you keep going keep trying even when you feel low there’s always different gears to shift to get by.
Everyone feels low at times another brother stressed out with life the roads are cold outside the streets don’t love you so you keep a middle finger in the air like fuck you I see the pain inside always on edge on a mission down to ride but no ones riding with you so you keep a brave face and switch at people when there smiling at you a mind of a troubled man find peace and don’t trouble man there’s no love here mumzy dashes him out now he’s stuck here now he’s pissed off at the world it’s not the load that breaks you down it’s how you carry it situations happen all the time stay positive keep trying only good can happen if you feel low so keep your head held high that’s the M.o we’re gotta keep going and trying do it for yourself because we’re all trying.
Trying trying trying trying do it yourself just to better yourself keep trying trying trying try yeah
Trying trying trying trying do it yourself just to better yourself keep trying trying trying try yeah
Try your best cuz we’re gotta keep trying trying trying trying
You keep your head held high cuz we’re gotta keep trying
God loves a tryer so gotta keep try
So keep focused and keep trying.

9 X out of 10

(Chorus)
9 Xout of 10 I stay patterned
I can’t be around man that are mentally challenge
gotta keep my focus in check gotta keep my chakras in balance
cuz 9 times out of ten I lost count what happened
(verse 1)
I tried talking up but the hard headed never listens
conversations are dead running low on emissions don’t gas yourself if don’t have vision
You ain’t putting no work in so it’s kinda hard
when you ain’t on form or consistent
I can sense an elephant in the room
So I held my position and stayed in view
Always looking for attention
But the room seems big when your egos dented and
defenceless
That crab in in a barrel mentality
u can’t
Think for yourself
so you you look for validation off somebody else
and you wonder why I’m so aggravated so more time I take a deep breath
My grandma used to pray for me
I hope someone’s still praying for my health
make sure you take care of yourself
When no ones listening tune in cuz 9 times out of 10
Your the victim defend your spot and face your fears square on 1 on 1
And stay distant
space invaders I’ve never liked space invaders I can spot a fraud by the style of his trainers
that’s a no brainier
And you look at me like I’m mad
That’s some class clown status
9 Xout of 10 I stay patterned
I can’t be around man that are mentally challenge
gotta keep my focus in check gotta keep my chakras in balance
cuz 9 times out of ten I lost count what happened
(verse 2)
The same never been similar your tings overrated
I stay patterned your dated
all this talking online
But you can’t find time for kids now look at the time thats been wasted
I can’t be around basic that ain’t gonna change shit
Look for better in yourself think first then make a few changes
We all make mistakes but when you constantly repeating the process ur trapped in the matrix
Always full of yourself for the wrong reasons
A clown behind a mask
That shit don’t last
there’s no charisma Overall
You look trash
so more time I have to stay patterned
Always Making a scene
But the jokes on you pie face and cream
Stop a Living a lie
Cuz when things turn sideways u blame a next guy
Thats your own faults always running but you can’t hide
When you grow And realise being silents more powerful then proving a point
A boy trapped in a mans body
Child’s play Chucky
Think yourself for lucky
Cuz 9 times out of 10 I keep it funky I can’t be around 99 percenters they bug me I Qs on D.U.M.B clumsy

(chorus)
Don't want you to miss me a little when I'm gone love me now while were here together through you my legacy lives on and I want my name to live forever each day I love you more and more you caught me through the wildest storms I do this all for you so all I want is you to see you smile when you miss me
(Verse1)
Don’t count the days make the days count
Come check for me whist I’m still around not when I’m underground
I do this all for you
That’s the realist one I’ll share a vibe with anyone, everyone
A Life ain’t a life until u live it
so live it whilst your alive and strong
Tongue and cheek wisdom is all I seek to pass on to my offsprings
When I leave I hope it’s only smiles and laughter to remember me I hope I left a mark in history
Don’t shed no tears
when you over thinking
Cuz I’ll be there by your side when your self a steams low and your hearts sinking
Just remember the good times that we have and smile a little when you miss me
Memory’s last a life there ingrained in our dna our history
Love me with your heart I’ve bin down from the start so keep it one hundred with me
(chorus)
Don't want you to miss me a little when I'm gone love me now while were here together through you my legacy lives on and I want my name to live forever each day I love you more and more you caught me through the wildest storms I do this all for you so all I want is you to see you smile when you miss me
(verse 2)
You don’t have to miss me but don’t forget about me
when they talk up I hope they talk proudly memories last a life time when you look back
they’ll have you looking at your time line like remember that
A feeling that takes you back in time like Marty Birthday party’s dressing smartly on occasions that meant the most I’ve stayed grounded more time ive bin ghost drop me out if there’s no substance
I’ve been waiting for a call or a text to say you miss me
When I’m gone plays over in my head will they really miss me or will they chat s and diss me like I wasn’t here
Dreams and legacy’s live through our children
so I pray they carry the torch and keep my flame alight
I love you more than you’ll ever know
all I ask is you is you enjoy life cuz life’s precious like them them shiny rocks in gold minds
keep your friends close
cuz there hard to find
(chorus)
Don't want you to miss me a little when I'm gone love me now while were here together through you my legacy lives on and I want my name to live forever each day I love you more and more you caught me through the wildest storms I do this all for you so all I want is you to see you smile when you miss me
(verse 3)
What’s gone in the physical will be there in the spirit
Find peace be kind and committed
Shine bright sky’s the limit
Travel the world and take pictures be yourself don’t follow no one
cuz paths are different
Be unique
let your aura shine this little light of mine I’m careful who I let in at times
cuz even your close people don’t wanna see you win and stay bad mind throughout your whole life time
learn to forgive for your own piece of mind and keep it flowing like the wind hitting a wind chime
Keep your body mind and soul in line
let the universe speak let them creep but always show TLC and wink at them with your left eye cuz life’s short love to my ancestors that are with me everyday
I hope my grandmas proud of me save a place for me in heaven don’t miss me now cuz I’m still present
so this is my gift to u a little blessing

(chorus)
If they said the price of living was to die slow still I would have did it if they said when I leave ill probably cry more and listen to the finish its never to late for me as long as I follow my dreams if they said the price of living was to die slow still I would have did it ohhhh
verse 1
ah I try be the best that I can cuz my little ones always look up to man I'm always working on my dreams manifestation realisation time and patience I'm patient man invest in yourself if its worth it if its part of the plan ive never said I can't ive always said I can mainframe mind games got me second guessing so I stay sharp like Jackie chan its in the genes thats what my grandma instilled in man Im built to be a man it don't make you weak if you cry I cried a 1000 tears when my grandma died I carried my bros utes coffin and till this day I still see the pain in his eyes still I ask myself why and trust me darg I still cry bit at times my dads terminal cancer my mums tears down the phone got me welling up inside I'm her comfort her heart so I make sure she's alright I try to keep my family tight but most times families fight falling out over the small things of all things if you can't make it rite then sort things thats the biggest contribution in my eyes remember time flys by so quick its like a mad surprise like Cilla black in her prime surprise surprise all we can do is try harder be better with no answers be clever and put our egos aside for the better.
(chorus)
If they said the price of living was to die slow still I would have did it if they said when I leave ill probably cry more and listen to the finish its never to late for me as long as I follow my dreams if they said the price of living was to die slow still I would have did it ohhhh
(verse 2)
The price of living always cherish the moments that your given I built my home studio from scratch now I’m missing
Home sweet home my dreams literally hit home I stay thankful I’m blessed like holy water when I touches your dome I stay high like drones dreams to reality flows like my ina chi everything I’ve got I’ve worked hard for nothing was given to me I’ve sacrificed a lot to better me.
With knowledge comes peace
I’m a better me
I’ve been grafting
don’t let them talk you out your dreams
There’s more to life than a
9-5 eat sleep and repeat
I’m active like a bike on Uber eats
that’s Food for thought
The way I deliver I need 5 stars to eat
I’ts calm
There’s no pressure
Certain traits are treasures
Keep your real ones around u and don’t let them test you
Keep to your own
I learnt my self your learn a lot from being on your own
so when they say I’ve got your back i say I’ve got my own
Needing nothing attracts everything
Anything a anything
It’s never to late to go and try a ting I’ve had set backs gal lor
So I’ve looked for what I want and more
Perseverance
Determination whilst building character I’ve always been high level not ameture if you done me wrong I ain’t mad you
But I’m glad for you I pray for better days
I hope you change you ways I’ll be smiling regardless
Anyways

Cruising them late nights
(Verse 1)
Late nights driving with the cool breeze back and forth on the m way
I know I’m loved when I’ve got my close ones checking up on me
I just seen a screen flash In front of me tired ness can kill
I ain’t driving know where fast if I’m tired still
I know my limits and I’ve got time to kill
So I’m a kick back and chill and get to my location on time
Right now I’ve got bare thoughts coming to mind when I’m driving
(Chorus)
Live a little live the life you lead I’ve be thinking I’ve been breathing I’ve been taking heed
Steady is the motion 80s my speed
I ain’t going nowhere fast
If it’s just A-B
(Verse 2)
Flying down the m1 taking trips to clear my head I’ve got a lot on my mind so driving ain’t a stress
swv on my playlist got my speakers bumping
Love will be right here shifting neatly through gears I’m relaxed in my drivers seat I stay comfy.
1 hour to my destination
I love them late nights cruising
Drive slow
The middle lanes clear so
I ain’t moving
passing cars at 60
there’s no street lights when you come out of Leicester
but when you reach brum it’s lit up like a show room in Tesla
Whys there headlights on me
German whips always blinding me in my rear view
Speeds 80 so I’m comfy
shifting in 5th gear
Trips activated so I’m good here I’m in my zone just got a text off the Mrs where you at
what time you coming home
3 missed calls on my answer phone
(Verse3)
I’ll be Late night writing in my book of gold head space mind space got me chasing gold
Theas like a sponge when it comes to equations
Lunas endless but her minds always racing she’s the the apple of my eye I see her doing her 2 step when my tunes come on
my Wifes my back bone so selfless loving and strong 13 years together and look how far we’ve came on through all the bullshit
See this it’s just a release
Mind space headspace get me
Meditation
When I’m driving
Thinking about Thai boxing and how well my kids have grown you know
When I’m driving
Controlling the stressing of life and over coming obstacles

It’s more than lyrics I put my soul in this shit
Real life
The musics got the best of me
quittings for losers I could never quit
We’re all on the clock tic tic
Check in and out
Then I back to my kids and my wife there my life the amount of things I sacrificed
I could go round twice
But forget the small talk we’re all trained like mice
now there got us wearing face coverings
(What happened life)
I can see all them silly’s lies
With them evil eyes so deceptive
How can anyone accept this
Oh what a
life
I can see all them souls cry
Try your best in any situation find a way my way is meditation,relaxation I’m to wise to be spending my nights on rinsing PlayStation
I’m more concerned about daughters maths tests silver and gold
PROUD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT
And I’ll never change my statement
love you like power rangers
Friends become strangers when they see you doing well.
I hope everyone’s cool and doing well
the past life I don’t dwell on much but I know where I came from
It’s in the roots I’m always me
I stay strong
Now I’m older
I’m always wondering where the days gone.
things never change I won’t stop until I’m comfortable
Like mum heres a range
Does it seem strange I want the best for my people
Too Many changed and turned see through
I locked off meat and sea food to get a cleaner view
i’m plant based now
sometimes
I have a treat or 2
Fasting on Sundays helps the body to rejuvenate
There’s one me you can’t duplicate
So it’s best you skate
(Chorus)
It’s deeper than music I put my sole in this shit
Real life got me changing old habits
Things that were appealing don’t Appeal to me no more
Real life got me thinking about my close ones more
(Verse 2)
Can’t be sitting around with negative thoughts
if you feel good inside you always feel better in life
I think a lot
Certain man have lost the plot stuck in the same ways from
utes early growing up
It’s sad to see
Can’t be moving with that small mentality
Why they mad at me
I don’t business about your salary
Certain girls will jack you for wallet and do it casually
Imagine
Being up now your stuck in a hard place like a mug
Screaming f the world
I don’t give a (What)
Profanities so much profanity’s can’t separate the fake from reality
Why’s it all a show
I love my wife and kids
thats a great show
Try school my kids on fresh prince I’m the eldest of 5
so To them I’m the biggest problem but it’s fine
Truths are hard to swallow
But deep down inside I still care
Holla man I’m still here
(Chorus)
It’s deeper than music I put my sole in this shit
Real life got me changing old habits
Things that were appealing don’t Appeal to me no more
Real life got me thinking about my close ones more
(Verse 3)
What happened to life
what happened to basic rights
It’s all mad
Sheeple lost got them scared to go outside why they playing with our minds like chess
Scared to move about you can’t even lay your loved one to rest
The governments the biggest virus the whole world in a mess
Everything’s shutdown
From barbers to gyms to live events
Something don’t smell rite
Real eyes recognise real lies look at the news channels it makes you wonder what there covering up its so corrupt
There Plandemic
Pandemic
What’s the retric
Free my people we still want our credit
Times up
we need change
cus shits fucked
another one for the books it’s one to tell the kids when there grown up
Remember the time when you was 6 and parks was shut
they locked off gyms whilst pubs was still opened up
It’s kinda mad when u deep it
Nah for real it’s mad enough that I speak it
I’m a free mind
(Chorus)
It’s deeper than music I put my sole in this shit
Real life got me changing old habits
Things that were appealing don’t Appeal to me no more
Real life got me thinking about my close ones more
