Real Talk 02:00
Real Talk: Bang this. Beat heavier than an anvil Colder than ice. You can do a lot but you can't chill SK and BLESZ on the track fresh to death Winners on the tune Come on down and place your bets Undefined Amsterdam classy like white wine Over an exquisite gourmet meal with a scent of pine My my, I sense my haters' ill wishings Luckily I'm on a boat, not in the sea. I do the fishing An organised misfit. Master of his domain Spend a night in my brain. Check out mentally insane Restless when happy. I guess I thrive on pain Life's mundane. Just a quest where cash you gain But what about love. Yeah I guess love is sweet Now try shoving love in your face when you need to eat The root of all evil. Seems to lack an equal Neutralising counterpart so keep squirming for a sequel Hook: Real talk Overrated underachiever. Gained believers Go religious on this shit. Unlike deceivers A penny for my thoughts, remain waiting in vain Like relatives of passengers in a plane over Ukraine Too soon? Excuse me. But no fucks were given When Boko Haram slit the throats of my kinsmen No jokes. To all R.I.P. But on the T.V. it ain't black I see Je suis non of that. I'm cruising along the way In this finite life heading towards my final day Had Guillean Barré. Saw no reason to pray Didn't wanna die a hypocrite I never did it anyway It's all fun and games until BLESZ gets real You want comedy? Go watch Key and Peel This is real talk. Free speech. Know the deal This man super, bars hard like steel Hook: Real talk

Hard Times 03:54
Hard Times: I was an 80's baby in the 10 9 3 Government Burleson in Amsterdam east OLVG born, just behind the park Where addicts did their shots when Amsterdam went dark Love for that hood the crime and drugs never phased me Or growing up with kids who were borderline crazy Dad was a welder, working on ships Mom used to work, now she's at home with 3 kids We had more than we needed so I ain't gone front But when you're young there's always extra shit you want That stopped that day the phone rang Was doing my own thang And mom broke down Phone hit the ground, not a sound For minutes Now she had to explain That dad had an accident earlier that day A steel beam hit my dad right in the chest Ribs crushed, damage to his lungs and his head Was struck by a fever It caused brain damage Tried to be strong, but I was 10 I couldn't manage Mom did her best staying strong through all of this Trying to hide her tears and her fears for the kids He came out of his coma but his struggle wasn't over Had to learn how to walk and how to talk all over Praise a lord cause after many months he made it The battle of his life, he had no choice but to faced it Not completely the same But when your life is the game And you fought to maintain Man, you can't be blamed Hook Having hard times Can't stop me now I came too far so I won't allow Having hard times But I'll be fine In this crazy town My faith is mine Fast forward to 20 11 Man I had it going on, figured nothing could happen To the kid. Just doing what he did Work some, play hard and all that shit Had a girl with a kid we were trying Have a girl with a kid and you'll understand lions It didn't last. In retrospect we had a blast When you see your future crumble you try to hold on to the past Then disaster struck BLESZ fresh out of luck Felt my body fail bit by bit, on the daily Tried to play it of it could be my age maybe? Got weaker every day am I going crazy? Lost the use of my muscles within 3 weeks Just a month ago I had the best physique Went to see the doc with my last power By then I was getting weaker by the hour Two hands to turn the knob of the shower She took one look and her face turned sour She said. You have Guillain Barré Sent me to the hospital, got admitted that day Couldn't walk and talk just like my dad Could barely move my arms man I was so mad They said focus. Cause this battle was real Body was weak. Mind had to be stronger than steel Praise a lord cause after many months I made it The battle of my life, I had no choice but to face it Not completely the same But when your life is the game And you fought to maintain Man, I can't be blamed -Hook-

This is... 03:48
This Is... As the rays hit me, I arise A nice March sun illuminates my eyes Rise and grind as an early bird for the worm No time to lay curled up like a perm I'm focused. Spring is in the air More important opportunities appearing everywhere Left and right, front to back Feel it all around. Sounds sound sound when I am on the track Brand new like a baby or better yet an embryo Got gems by the dozen Find me on a stage with the band strait busting Or next to Sam Kaddo always whippin’ up something Get praised, like they are amazed Thought someone spitting dopeness was a phase Those saying hip-hop is dead, need to turn down the radio Hold it, keep it plugged, run a bath and jump in Hook : This is brand new (So brand new) Get shocked back to life, so many ill joints never heard While you wait on puppets spreading the word Like this that fresh, new, same, lame Generic, corporate approved, ignant kid you won't even remember next year As long as it's new right? As long as you can pump that shit all night Unlimited thoughts surface my mind While these stage lights blind my eyes Transform scepticism into admiration At least one fan a gig, motivation Use setbacks as fuel, determination Late nights early mornings, dedication BUC be the band, Triple Double the movement Brand new S.K. beat is groovin’ B L E S Z all caps still movin’ Gravy so thick this beat is oozing Hook : This is brand new (So brand new) Outro: As long as it’s new right As long as you can pump that shit all night

The Green 03:43
The Green Can I get a... Shot to start. Time to turn up. Going off the chart Spent another week working so damn hard My mind's checking out, about to depart My soul's slowly dying at this 9-5 But when I work on my dreams I come alive Don't let the green get you, invest your time Work hard to get yours. I fight for mines No matter what your dream is If what you love ain't really where the cream is Keep doing what you do to keep that happiness At least you know what happy is But if there is a chance you can capitalize And bring to life what lives behind your eyes Transform that thing just like a Prime Make it real. Living your dream is divine Hook Don't let the green get you Don't let the greed get you Can I get a... SC on the rocks. Don't like this tune I don't give a fuck I'm with my team doing what we do Started from the ground up everything thing here is new Been down and out, always pulled through Began in my crib, now I got a whole crew Unlimited Beats, Sam Kaddo too Straight from the booth, BLESZ coming for you This is a dream’s creation Bring everybody up it's a manifestation Got people from way back still by my side Starting to see this world through a dreamer's eyes We in this together Work hard, focus, keep getting better The green ain't a thing here Nothing but love can be seen here In this tryna get it all We do it our way rise or fall In this tryna get it all We do it "our" way rise or fall Hook Don't let the green get you Don't let the greed get you

BLESZović 03:08
BLESZović Hook: As I stroll in. Microphone controlin' Throw strikes like I'm bowlin' Shining bright like I'm glowin' They betta be knowin' BLESZ is on the spot like a geyser he flowin' Find me in a booth in your hood. Always in the mood Excuse my French if I am misunderstood It's all good. Fully grown Reputation unknown Holla at me after I assault another microphone Kill it. Cook it up, any beat is my skillet I fill it with timed lines show them cats what real skill is This is. My zone, my home, I roam Unknown, homegrown, intone Can't postpone this any longer My force is getting stronger Hungry like a lion. All I can do is conquer Rape and murder tracks. Rack ‘em up back to back Disregard and disrespect Fill ‘em up I gotta get Hook: Never been anxious to get on But now I'm on it's a dunk that's slammed Don't holla for a jam sonny boy we jammed Paid my dues with some crews As a matter of fact Some of them were hogging time just to hold me back Enter the game as a vet Treat them beats like my pets Get them fixed with verbal shots Flip them into tracks From Amsterdam Getting love all over. On that happy sauce Hardly ever sober On a beach in Goa killing shots of Cashew Feni Or in the triple X sipping gently on a Remy It's all fun games Are we playing? I always play to win That's me saying It's serious and cool we can act a fool But when push comes to shove you be getting schooled So stay focused, cause this ain't a joke Blink too long and you'll be left behind in smoke Hook:

No Contest 02:31
Travelling on a sound wave Penetrate your skull viciously Picture me vividly increasing the degree Sam Kaddo in his zone More solid than stone Bop your head if you condone This Damsko tone Grim like the reaper on the edge it's steeper Slip into our realm discover it to be deeper Unpromoted self-sufficient Just seeking some ears to listen Which are missing artists That aren't on dumbing down missions It's lonely but we're here We know there are others Like aliens in disguise Right in front of our eyes Looking at the skies Waiting for the mothership I'm on another trip since the day my eyes opened I'm hoping. There's more to life than this Dismiss reality with the fatality Of nature armed with bombs of atom Spit Armageddon In every direction that I'm heading On any track or acapella, I am shredding Hook: This station. Rules the nation Keeping you in touch with home Am I dreaming or living in a dream of another A figment of a being's imagination. Not human Being watched every step like Truman Or a sidekick like Newman It is how it is or how you gonna make it If you won't live your life others are gonna take it Maybe just as well cause as a species we can't be fixed Save the planet? Let's move into the matrix Cursed with a blessing at ease while impressing Holla if you ever need a lesson Fresh and always in control I take a stroll. Like Hamilton position pole Take it all. World cup more super than a Super bowl There I go pure instinct, raw like an animal Radical. If the name isn't spelled with capitals Never sweat the small stuff Passed a diamond in the ruff Enough love to go around and to rise above Anything, anyone, anyplace, anywhere BLESZ higher than a kite made out of flyers Never tire. Hear the man inspire through the wire All heart stacked with bars of fire Desire to spit. BLESZ is never gonna quit Rip anything, hit me up if you got some shit I’m lit… Hook: This station. Rules the nation Keeping you in touch with home

My Thing 03:56
Hook: Been, been Doing this thing, thing Doing what I do I always do my thing I step right at it, let a mic have it Pillage and plunder cause severe damage Wreckage, mass murder, the rhyme inserter Beat by SK on the cursor Still dropping these tracks Still in full effect Still back to backs BLESZ never squeaks so he sure don't crack Same goes for black Pressure? That is for gods who are lesser Go hard on any stage call me BLESZ the impresser Always good to go like a jimmy on a dresser Lil’ dude came to me after Dance for Health He was on earlier. Was mad he wasn't felt By the crowd. They didn't get aroused No love for the kid in his own town I said homey. You do what you do not for some haters Just cater to the people who appreciate your flavour Even MJ and Pac had people that didn't dug ‘em Everyone has someone that don’t love ‘em Focus on the lovers, try convince the rest But not everything is for everybody *It's nothing Some people won't like your style *It's nothing If they don't appreciate your craft *Fuck ‘em Hook: Next up who knows book ya boy for a show MC for life you can watch me glow On rage on stage, killing page by page Determined to crush even for no wage Not a young boy just looking good for my age Calm before a set till it's time to engage Caged up at work, music is my purpose A plethora of artists don't deserve this Slaughter with the band see them get nervous People can be bought, skills can't be purchased Triple double in a bubble in our own zone Go hard on everything. Sam Kaddo let it be known That we be at it, style be fantastic Scene too clean it's time for some havoc Deeper than the Mobb it's all about music Too many people out there misuse it No smoke and mirrors, this ain't no Thriller No excessive cussing being used as fillers Not a studio gangsta, BLESZ a lot realer Rhymes can be backed my peeps know the dilla No fake hype man, I got my bro Silla Go all in like a fight in Manila Late nights for the music Early mornings for the paper Should have an S on my chest BLESZ spits like the saviour Correct on the mic practice makes behaviour Come correct on the mic practice makes behaviour Hook:

Omega 02:46
Omega: So here we are at the end of the tape Glad you could wait To listen to what I had to say Still with SK These were some incredible days Another chase in this fast paced digital maze Which is ever growing, till we lose ourselves And we're less important than our profiles Still question why we're getting profiled? While there is data available ‘bout every man woman and child Eyes wide shut. You can feel it in your guts Society is nuts and this world's corrupt It seems no matter how much proof there is Poof there is. A chase for another wild goose there is But that's none of my business Or maybe it is. Spent a lifetime on just trying to live Been down. Thought I was out Yet I'm still here on this messy roundabout Hook: It’s all fun and games until BLESZ gets real You want comedy go watch Key and Peel This is real talk, free speech know the deal This man super. Bars hard like steel This world is upside down Governments just trying to clown you around And we let them, imprison us in their towns Guarded by the. That’s that sound But one day this gone all be done On that glorious day the revolution comes Started from the bottom straight from the slums We’re gone get our planet back and they shall run Hallelujah Skit: Bridge: Yeah we had fun on this tape, but it’s more than jokes Our scope it surpasses dope Started Triple double with an Anvil SK bangs ill beats that you can feel We’re just getting started
