Track Name: Moment 4 Life
[VERSE 1]

I am lost in a world of my own/
A young knight, I am heir to the throne/
Still I'm just Ry, I'll get what i'm owed/
I see what i want, take flight in a zone/
Do my own thing, and I never changed/
When your all gone, probably still remain/
Life is a trip, so livings insane/
Luggage all packed, I'm just waiting on a plane/
Made my own lane, people all follow/
They just cut and paste/ and it is all borrowed/
Now everybody got a ticket in the lotto/
But I'm a new day, see you all tomorrow/
Everyday I strive for perfection/
Each down fall nowadays is a lesson/
Moves that I make every face want to question/
Life is a film, I produce and direct it/ cut/
A long road, I'm on a freeway/
Seen em all choke, when they try and keep pace/
Still i miss home, when I'm lost in a daze/
Friends never see me, but I'm in a good place/
I mean, This is what i visualised/
Music that I make is either glorified or criticised/
Look, this time I treat life like a journey/
The day that I quit, they retiring my jersey/
Because nothing is for certain/
All the weird kids I'm giving you a purpose/
Think twice if you think I'll desert this/
I cant help but feel i deserve this/

[VERSE 2]

See I'm at the point of no return now, and im never going back/
One day ill make it home, thats word to all the lads/
Im feeling burnt out, still i never ever crash/
On a collision course, see we're probably finna clash/
The purists hate but they listen on the low/
Yeah i said it better tell em that we know/
Turn off the lights so i prove that i glow/
Theyre paranoid i'll find that im sitting on some gold/
We aint spend a dollar on pressing up vinyl/
I just leak it out and the shit just went viral/
I wont stop till i leave with a title/
Even overseas they can see theres a tidal/ wave/
Be very afraid, your messing with a kid who aint scared of mistakes/
See my gift is a curse, I scare 'em away/
They wanna JFK me on a parade/
Yeah/ a young wizard, you can feel the blizzard/
All my friends say that I'm crazy and i'm trippin/
Do my own thing i dont ask to be forgiven/
Back against the wall, I dont pray for permission/
I mean, this is what i always been/
I'm addicted to a life they said that i would never see/ look/
Against the grain is where i find comfort/
So I gotta chase poetic justice/
Track Name: Ricky Nixon
[VERSE 1]

New pair of Jordans, and you don't even have them/
I landed like a comet, and they don't know happened/
See I went and took their fans, when they were probably nappin/
Abd We spoiled all their plans, now they missing all the action/
Found myself a rocket then I went and lit a cannon/
See i cannot take a break im like a Pit stop for McLaren/
And The day I choose to stop is when my garage got a phantom/
See we Started off in melbourne then we woke up in Manhattan/
Temptation is a bitch, and you just bit the apple/
Don't attempt to live the life if it's something you can't handle/
Watch me hit this out the park, the lyrics mickey mantle/
And These rappers Mickey mouse, I seen em on the Disney channel/
Slim fits with a snap back, button up flannel/
I'm Jackin beats and taking names, fucking Ry just be a vandal/
And They tell me watch my back, but I must of missed the memo/
See your copying my raps, but we're laughing at your demo/

[CHORUS]

All of these women, and you just fell a victim/
Used to be ballin', but now you're Ricky Nixon/man/
You could had it all, but you just went and blew it/
When it comes to talking shit, mother fuckers must be fluent man.../

All these women, and you just fell a victim/
Used to be ballin', but now you're Ricky Nixon/man/
You could had it all, but you just went and blew it/
When it comes to talking shit, mother fuckers must be fluent man/
They must be fluent man.../

[VERSE 2]

Bitch I'm out my mind, that shit is a given/
Rap is like my side kick - call it Scottie pippen/
So damn high that I'm leapfrogging a building/
Rappers hating Ry, are also feeding off my brilliance/

I'm one in a Billion, they are just an average Joe/
All I do is win, I guess that's just my average though/
Nothing on my trail, I'm laughing while they pray for hope/
They're angry when they hear me it's probably cos theyre in a panic zone/
Welcome to my terror dome, they don't even stand a chance/
Everything I make be getting sampled like an avalanche/
Rappers on their last legs, saying that their out of plans/
Shout out to the Jordan brand, but I keep a pair of extra vans/
Everyday your losing fans, I just build a solid base/
Haters just be everywhere, that's why I'm up in solar space/
Acting like theyve made it, when they aint even sold a tape/
I dont have a home, I'm either overseas or interstate/

[CHORUS]
Track Name: Hours.
[INTRO VERSE]

I'm giving you verses that are heavenly, Calculated chemistry/
What they want essentially, Is something that is legendary/
Romanian tendencies, fifteen is XV/
Giving it my everything, This will be the death of me/

[CHORUS]

No one here can put in all these hours/
I wont stop till I'm reeling in the thousands/
Overseas sitting by some fountains/
Nosegrind the hills and kick flip the mountains/

[VERSE 1]

The world is tough it's a real jungle/
Reality and life's now become a real juggle/
I try to keep it humble, see I don't need the trouble/
So I'll be gone tomorrow, just let me pack my duffle/ bye/
I dont why but I'm feeling like an empire/
I'm GQ, got interviews in esquire/
If you could see the views, I couldn't get higher/
You're running out of legs, you need a spare tyre!/

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 2]

Stepped in the schools and showed em there's a new wave/
And Gave the skaters a tape they ain't afraid to play/
I'm living proof you don't always need to play it safe/
So Check the scheduling now, cos it's a new day/
The talk about clothes made old folks, insecure/
While they just stick to them old flows, nobody knew of/
I went straight to varsity, while they still a junior/
Cos I can't wait for my time now, I need it sooner/
That's why I suit up instead of wearing some baggy clothes/
a generations behind me, away we go/
So everytime that I'm on stage, your laying low/
Youre to embarrassed to say, that you think I'm dope/
Steaight From Arcadia, im Heavens entertainer/
I said I'd be a saviour, headline of the paper/
I told all the Doubters that I am here to raise hell/
And so far it looks like it resonates well/
You don't wish me well, tell the truth/
I Put us on the map, I'm that dude/
Now fall back, were bored of you/
You just a Horace grant, get some goggles dude/

[CHORUS]
Track Name: T.2.T.S (Picture Me Rollin')
[VERSE 1]

Picture me rollin' on a brand new deck/
I got no love for these lames, they don't show us respect/
Keep them out of my head, then we tell em we jet/
Damn right we fly, that's why they buy our cassette/

Jordan 5s on the soul, black tee on the chest/
Hypebeast on the beat, I just leave it a mess/
Nobody believed, now they giving us cred/
Got my sights overseas, Go tell em we next/

Tupac in the jeep, never see it eject/
Sit back, leather seat just nodding my head/
Makaveli mindstate never see me again/
It's all eyes on me when the see me ascend/

Somebody hate Ry cos he got an accent?/
I just play it off cool, no need to pretend/
Same lames reach out I can see em extend/
Same day new tape without breaking a sweat/

Picture me rolling, sneaker boxes piled up in my room, I never sold em/
Rolling down Collins, Trying to figure out/
How I went a different route/
Been doing this, since you was listening to the underground/

Better dumb it down/ hold on back it up/
The feel of the grip, the sound of the trucks/

Just picture me rollin'.../
Track Name: Change.
[VERSE 1]

Sitting in Mercedes, the vision is crazy/
Why Visualize when I know there's kids craving/
Wu-Tangs for the kids, suits need saving/
I'm not even saving, I'm just spare changing/
I shouldn't laugh when it's really true/
The joke sucks when the subject is Really you/
Im so caught up now in a brilliant view/
I forget what I need is a brilliant you/
A bowl of rice, bowl of life in a minute/
The people wanted soul food so I went ahead and did it/
I told you we ain't splitting any second/
Hallelujah, what I'm giving you is heaven/

Oh I'm sorry is there tension?/
Ha, I guess i forget to mention/

[VERSE 2]

I disappear in a cloud then I'm vanishing/
This time I won't notify management/
Yeah, we stay paused like mannequin/
I think the kids got a question for the Vatican/
Young kid but I think like an old soul/
Mixtapes thrown around like a church bowl/
Damn labels always wanna throw a curve ball/
Other rappers tell me I should curse more/
Springsteen flow, I just stay modest/
Spring clean, my 16s stay polished/
While these other guys cutting down a rainforest/
I wish politicians became honest/
Young novice, but I talk like I been there/
People with everything never been fair/
Spending money like every days a weekend/
Call it spare change, that's why I sleep less/

How they goin' say we blessed?/
And then they ask why we stressed?!/

[VERSE 3]

I space out from the news then I eject/
Now everybody hate and they detest/
The Flow laced with a heat defense/
Too many sharks stay away from the deep end/
Not everything you see might seem fair/
They just wanna put some fear in our weekend/
So are they the enemy or are we them/
I know a sly fox, her names CNN/
When the kids speak up they tell us all shoosh/
Honestly I'm still pissed about George bush/
Obama killed Osama, tell us all look/
I don't wanna see a man killed, who the hell would?/

It ain't all good/
Nah man it ain't all good/
Track Name: I Know
[VERSE 1]

Dont wanna be the status quo/
Premium from head to toe/
Jordans and a duffle coat/
Awesome when im in my zone/

Work so hard i need a clone/
Business smart all on my own/
Watch me now, better take notes/
Out this world, telescope/

Phoning home, Floating high/
Chromosone, x and y/
Sounds so dope, hella tight/
Just a day, in the life of ry/

Yeah thats me, vans on the feet/
Plain black tee, holes in my jeans/
Kick push till i roll in the street/
Roll one up, then I'm skeet/

Welcome to my atmosphere, you can feel the energy/
Work like theres no time to sleep, in a zone relentlessly/
I just feel its meant to be/ till that day i give them grief/
Im the public enemy/ EVERY hater mentions me/

I love it i aint budgin/ even so i still aint buggin/
Im like mike I'm so above em, every verse has got em verse running/
100 miles, poster child/ On the moon, running wild/
Ladies love my catchy smile/ Skater kid, classic style/

Say that i am out this world, probably cos i really am/
On my way back down to earth, time for me to crash and land/
Im just way to focused man/ they dont really understand/
You told me your really dope, i dont really see it fam/

Controversial, life is no rehearsal/
For me its locals only but the musics universal/
Only hang with winners kid, welcome to the cirlce/
Dog i got the formula, you talking to a kernal/

I'm the chronic, and this is a monopoly/
Haters jumping up and down, im screwing the economy/
Im gone be a problem man, im laughing at them, honestly/
move up out my lane dude, now you on my property/

I could be the answer/ dressing like a panther/
More tattoos up on my skin im needing more bepantham/
Im just in the skull cave, you looking at a phantom/
Emcees with all these questions are just rappers with no answers/ Ya Dig?
Track Name: Lords.
[VERSE 1]

Treated like lords, re-write the laws/
Dreams of world tours, the audience applause/
Stay in winning form, help me carry the awards/
They do anything to get a glimpse of our thoughts/

And we're treated like pro skateboarders/
Hit a new state, and skate through the borders/
You lames never had no importance/ and/
If its ordered, then i probably import it/ Look/

Spacebound you wont catch me in the malls/
Used to spit raps with the kids in the halls/
Had her face in my locker, now my face in her locket/
When i see old friends, why their hands in my pockets/ huh?/

One day they'll realise i was honest/
One day is too late ill be gone on a comet/ Look/
Touche'/ I never thought about profit/
All i realised that is if its dope then we got it/

We'll Take two, nah 2 in each colour/
Give some to the dudes and a few to my mother/
This lifes what its all about/
All i know is this time we get a brand new house/

Throw the old shit out, get a brand new couch/
What the hell Im supposed to do with all this plastic now?/
Flat screen sorta plane, X-Box it out/
Till we get our own butler and we call him alf-red/

Get it?/ I woke up still dreaming/
Shotgun with satan, Laugh while he's speeding/
Underdog here, i'll smile when we're even/
Buy my girl diamonds, just for the evening/

And we are living like kings/
Smile when you can at least try take it in/
Spend all of my advance on decks and kicks/
So live fast, die young till your lifes the shit/
Track Name: Hey (Feat. COIN & Mei Swan)
[VERSE 1 - RY]

This ones for all my lads with the steeze, Super NES Dreams/
Fly like rockets, I ain't talking hakeems/
Get visas to go overseas/
Girls know my raps but speak Japanese/ They/

Dont realize, how I've, improved/
Wont rest till my eyes see awesome views/
We're the guys with the awesome tunes/
Speak from the soul, I ain't talking shoes/ Coin.../

[VERSE 2 - RY]

I saw a lane wide open so I walked in/
Dudes hate but I never see em talking/
Type of life night feels like morning/
The kind of vibe thats the opposite of falling/

We're that different type of rap that is played loud/
Your that other type of rap that is played out/
Ow, I call shots - that is no foul/
Me and coin Finna run this, no doubt/
Track Name: Smoke & Mirrors
[VERSE 1]

She said she want more commitment/
Which made me walk toward the distance/
Damn, and whats with all of these women/
That try lock a man down after one evening/

I wine and dine you, talk like a gentlemen/
Even get the door, pulling up to an entrance/
Please stop drilling me with questions/
But this girls persuits relentless/

And I'm proof chivalry ain't dead/
Tuxed up, No doubt I'm a gent/
I, do it properly 100% percent/
Distinguished suit from the shoes to the hair/

Walk in my pair, spend the weekend/
Breathe the same air, share the same flair/
Live off my cheque/ run from my debt/
Tattoo on my skin, her name is whats there/

Deep breathes i ain't changing my game face/
I aint write but there's blood in the inkstains/
At first i think it all just seems great/
And she's way too sweet, toothache/

Deep breathes i ain't changing my game face/
And these days i run fast like a freeway/
At first i think it all just seems great/
Now I don't say a word, touche'/
Track Name: The First
My Jeans so skinny, this is how I'm living/
I just keep on winning, dont ask for an opinion/
Let alone permission, this is where im heading/
I bolognaise rappers, mix em with spaghetti/

Mario andretti, watch me leave them in my dust/
Thier shit is so pathetic, they will never fill my chucks/
As long im around, these bitches runner-ups/
One fist in the air, kobe in the clutch/

Man im in a zone, welcome my strasophere/
Just leave ry alone, i could really do some damage here/
People at my shows, love the fact that im the lad they fear/
Wake up in the morn, and get higher than a chandelierrrrr/

Now autotune that shit/
Purely just to piss em off, that shit is just classic/
Bitch i mean to disrespect, I'm just never backing down/
Even when its slaughterhouse, they know what im all about/

You outta bounce, im flying low/
You queer as folk, kaliedescope/
I'm kidding though, take a joke/
Look at my steez, take a note/

I just landed like a comet/
All the music that i drop, every skater be up on it/
Soon as it hit the torrents, everything just went enourmous/
I got hipsters and purists side by side at my performance/

And i shall see you all at high noon/
Step right the side mam, give a lad some shoulder room/
You might need to take a breath, its a different altitude/
Everyone anticipates, time for me to show and prove/

I'm awesome, lesson learnt/
I know its wierd, but the shit just works/
Thats my word/ the illest nerd/
If i aint 'The One', then I'll be 'The First'/
Track Name: Hollywood Divorce
I told my girl I'm going to make it to the biggest stage/
Shes praying that I don't make it to biggies stage/
But I got two years before I'm reaching biggies age/
So get money till your pay can buy real estate/

These other rappers lame, yeah they dull and boring/
I hit the big shots, mr robert horry/
Airing my business out, just let her tell the story/
But Smile for the cameras, it's all hunky dory/

Bow tied she's a cute dime/ piece/
Other lads around so I tell em', peace/
Im one of the good guys, she says im hella, sweet/
That other lame she messing with is hella, cheap/

On the futon, Playing so far gone/
wont settle till I see that your clothes seem gone/
But somehow it just all seems wrong/
Don't quit your day job, I'm just living off my songs/

I'm risking it all, so don't say it's my fault/
When I'm in the studio and I'm missing your calls/
Gosh, begging me to take her clothes off her/
Outside the bedroom she just seems so proper/

You would never know, how do I ever cope/
Greetings at the door in coats with no clothes/
So once the doors closed, showtime and we go/
might be a camera on she takes the right pose/ woah/

See we need to take a breather/ last time I checked, you ain't happy well me neither/
Blowing up my beeper, but really I mean phone/ just get out my home/it's best we're both alone/

See she's got control, like it is home court/
And then, we make up, till we break the spring board/
Tom and Nicole told us this before/
This type of fling always ends in a Hollywood divorce/
Track Name: Money On My Mind
Take notes, we're about to build a pyramid/
Stay afloat, still killin' like a villain is/
Stay dope, stay fly, on my hero shit/
Laying low just to cover up conspiracies/

Problem solved see I never let it escalate/
Get paid like confetti on wedding day/
Wait, you can feel the reign/
Untouched hype we just seal the tape/Ha...

Last gasp, they just running for an air vent/
In the clouds, see I gotta keep a clear head/
Understand they aint even getting near yet/
Couple grand in our pockets, call it spare rent/Ha/

Just to get a couple rooms/
Skyline views, from the floor to the roof/
Cover girls by our side, you got a couple dudes/
Might say 'the masons', and drop couple clues/

Broken promises, become true lies/
Illuminati, showing us where the truth hides/
Secret society, gotta speak quietly/
Tell em all hush, don't leak it to a rivalry/

Far from the start, even more from the end/
I want it all, nothing more nothing less/
Fade away like 2-3 ironed on my chest/
Won't stop till they all say Ry is the best/

Yes, Never followed so I make moves/
Not an average dude, so I gotta make rules/
Look, keep a watch on all angles/
Lifes tough, we just seeing how they handle/

Started off calm then I dismantle/
Pinstripe rap, I got hits like I'm mantle/
Still runnin even with sprained ankles/
Forever blessed like I went and saved angels/ Yeah/

Running on the grind, money on my mind/
Running out of time, running all the time/

(x4 Till Song Fades Out)

Track Name: God Bless
[VERSE 1]

I'm outta my mind, while other rappers giving up/
And I ain't feeling fine, I'm feeling kinda sinister/
Dudes think they're close, when they ain't even similar/
Think they got a ticket, they ain't even in a cinema/
I'm focused man, look, I don't listen to ya/
Once again, I'm the shit - no sewer/
hit the stage like you hit court, suited up/
I swear your whole new steez never suited us?/
I ain't convinced dudes know what rapping is/
Plus, things are looking up like rabbit ears/
I knew I'd always bounce back like mattresses/
So stick to the script now like your actresses/
Get love and they label you as mainstream/
They can try all the want, but they ain't me/
Excuse me while I'm everywhere you aint been/
I'm chuck berry with the style ha, maybelline/

[VERSE 2]

I'm Cutting edges everyday, that's a metaphor/
I bring a whole new lane that they never saw/
bring meaning to a game that they never thought/
In Skinny black jeans and a pair of jordan 4s/
You know what's raw, Ry's voice/
Listen to this in your ride, that's the right choice/
Other rappers try, but they're null and void/
And I break a lot of hearts for a white boy/
I'm on Pluto now, and I'm spaced out/
Thats I'm called the wonderkid, I am space-bound/
Play the tape, absorb it up like a paper towel/
And I'll show you why it's lame, to be a hater now/
I married the game, recording a tape, and I've said my vowels/
If you ain't listening, then trust me that your missing out/
I try set a good example to the citizens/
Just open up my closet man everything is limited/
Track Name: Airplane Mode
[VERSE 1]

They, like to say that I'm out my brain/
I give em' 16 bars of a Citizen Kane/
Cos this ain't hard - precision and aim/
The brand names Ry - they remember the name/

You got mad lame rhymes, now get out of my lane/
I got fan made site's, where they gossip for days/
Brand new kicks - and they probably J's/
2 week's early, they ain't even out in the states/

Whole game perfect, you ain't on my surface/
Earning that surplus, please get a purpose/
Scene is a circus, and I don't like clowns/
I don't get nervous, just even now/

Underground Rappers want to see Ry be gone/
Damn right, Underground's where you all belong/
Dude's aren't, on the same path, I'm walking on/
You ain't shouting out Ry, then you talking wrong/

Van's and Raglan, Camera's and Action/
Iceberg flow, you the Titanic captain/
Box Office hit - you could swear I'm James Cameron/
Messin' with a kid that is playing with a passion/

Number 1 pick, and I'm straight out of High School/
So much air - you could swear that I'm Michael/
Tell me who's king - I'm about to take the title/
Tell me what's in - I'm about to end the cycle/

Yeah, and I'm treated like an Idol/
If dudes want steez - then Ry is a bible/
Everbody speak ever since my arrival/
Give it one week, then we watch it go viral/

And I've lost my marble's/
4 mixtapes, we just watch them all marvel/
Airplane Mode, phone calls from the suits/
And I keep jackin' beats, even when I get sued/

Track Name: Trouble (Feat. The Hated)
[VERSE 1 - RY]

I done, seen it all, did it all - I'm an animal/
Killing 16s, blue jeans, on the casual/
The names Ry and the 'R' is a capital/
All the raps tight, Sing hooks like Emmanuel/

Manwell, what's cooking in the kitchen?/
Try tell em look, but they're shook when they listenin/
The Pippen/ till extinction/
Used to sit detentions, but now I got distinctions/

In 10 years I'll be sitting in my chair/
Grammys everywhere, you can have em I don't care/
Yeah I think I got my share, Middle fingers in the air/
When Rys on a snare, you ain't messing with the heir/

Yeah, ain't fucking with our movement/
Lames in our lane so we tell em better move it/ I'm/
Insane, play a beat and I lose it/
Hopping over fences, bending till we're stupid/

The gods son, I'm a menace and I meant it/
Anything I drop, that new Ry is the testament/
Bully rap, I do it purely just to mess with them/
The formula is done, I'm just mixing up the medicine/

Chilling and they like it, finna start a riot/
And we be at your show, but they're cheering out for Ryan/
The pilot, jet setting till my plane crash/
It's a damn shame dog, you a lame act/

Iron mike I hear biting on my ears/
BMX flow I'm just riding with my piers/
See us in the smoke, it's like gorillas in the mist/
They don't feel me, but they fear me - Wayne told you it was this/

Track Name: Like A Rhino
[VERSE 1]

There's no way out, no way out/
That's what they told me, what they told me/
And we aint ever going down/
But at the top it is lonely/

And thats a mighty loud sound/
When we crash in the moment/
I know it all evens out/
You better know a kids zoning/

I wrote this on my own, but I'm feeling like a king/
A lot people said that I'll either sink or swim/
Everything I make puts the people in a spin/
See I aint trying to think I'm just running with wind/

How the hell we get here? Swear I'd never make it back/
'Bout to take my bow, my vowel was that we fade to black/
Hands up to the crowd, show em that were loving that/
'Cos we won't take a rest, till they know that we just run the map/

It's kinda funny, kinda funny/
Million ways to stop but Ill never finish running/
Every hurdle that I've had I just keep on overcoming/
Critics never mattered cos they see what I'm becoming/

No way back, it's a one way ticket/
Say what you like, don't deny that I delivered/
hit the stage and every face is taking pictures/
So they know it happened and I wasn't in a vision/

There's no equivalent.../

[VERSE 2]

There's no way out, no way out/
I just wanna be my own me/
They always want to put us down/
When I'm hanging with my homies/

This aint no ordinary sound/
And I ain't selling you a story/
And I salute those around/
And everybody that's before me/

Slowly, slowly we're just trying to make it big/
If your underground, then I swear that you ain't trying to live/
Music is my wife, so I never hope we split/
Want this thing for life I'm just hoping that you noticed it/

Yeah, tell me ain't life grand?/
Doing what I want i ain't playing to a plan/
Left field everything so they know just where I stand/
Feel everything that I drop, I'm the man/

Track Name: Duffle's & Jordan's (Feat. Peezo Bixby)
[VERSE 1 - RY]

I been scheming on the scene for a second/
Been dreaming since I was a teen, Year 11/
OG's wanna doubt me, they just feel threatened/
Now I'm rooftop, got a place where I'm the tenant/
Door man at the entrance, carrying my luggage/
Been touring for a week, so I know my girl is buggin/
Man, It aint even funny, now they treat me like their buddy/
A kid been on mission, since '100 Miles And Runnin'/
Do what you gotta do, if it means you're getting cake/
Even if it means a day, could be 30hrs straight/
Would have rested on the jets, but I never slept on planes/
Told my fam this ain't a phase, I'm just living in a daze/
The life that we chose is the life that we chase, and/
I ain't ever change, 'cept the number on the plates/
Three One Zero Five, right, where a kid was raised/
Told me get back up, even when my knees were graised/
See I'm just like you, I'm just trying to be the man/
'Bout to hit a tour, finna make a couple grand/
I know I got quotes they dont even understand/
But when I do a show, yeah I see 'em in the stands/
Shouts to all the stans, give 'em all a pound/
The higher up you go, more people shoot you down/
I rap like Dee Brown, yeah, I don't see the ground/
So when they call me out - better pray I ain't around, it's a wrap/

[HOOK]

And we're just doing what they taught us/
Take photos and record us/
Front row at our performance/
Duffle Coat and some Jordan's/ (x 4)
You aint dope, man you're boring/

[VERSE 2 - PEEZO]

The hater's turn to statues
sneeze nose up allergies to the whack MC's
had to get my focus back turn my back on the bogus bogan rap
you know its that lad with the stoker, no collapse
no turbulence, running in and out of women call it severance
evidence is evident but I be hesitant
don't make it effortless life I'm trying' to better it gain some leverage
till im skybox feet up with a nice
icy beverage
turn the radio on these songs make me, nearly fucking heminarge
Bloodclot, no love lost snort souls now my hearts froze
i got the fire from these charcoals
i need a bad bitch that can do a good art pose
i got loads of new york john flows
where the jordans at homie really tryna mark ho
your facade shows as far as the chicks go im tryna pick a good rose
I'm a bit crazy on the beat though i go marbles
got so many lines im competing with the barcodes
drop your insecurities girls you don't need those

[HOOK x 1]
Track Name: The Way It Is
[Verse 1]

I woke up with a pay cut, trying to get my bank up/
Bull headed flow - I ain't trying to be a Laker/
How you finna live, if you ain't banking any Paper?/
Put me on a crucifix, if it means I am the saviour/
Long way from Brooklyn, but that's literally where I'm looking/
Man on the Moon, I'm just trying to make a footprint/
They ain't got a clue, that's probably why they're over-looking/
But I ain't chasing you, see I'm really over, looking/
Snow blade flow, man I been Wayne Gretz-king/
Upped my fan base, still the same lames testing/
People try to know where my fam-lay's resting/
Want the high life, ain't content with picket fences/
Go ahead, pick a number - any number man/
Any fan, who really listens - hear my hunger fam/
Yeah I know I'm chasing something they don't understand/
But when I get it, then you'll know I found the promised land/

[Hook]

And that's the way it is, then we gotta get it/
See I ain't trying to make a life, that I'll be regretting/
Get It?

[Verse 2]

I married money, told my girl don't be offended/
Told my friends, my pursuits about to be relentless/
These record label suits, got me in the trenches/
Told me dumb it down a little bit for comprehension/
They hear my hungers pains, I'll never lose a race/
Wake up early just to beat these other rapper lames/
Never napping, even though that I been up for days/
Never happen, what they tell me straight up to my face/
But we're not even in the same zone/
Stitch these other critics up, I got the game sewn/
Never wanted help, I took the challenge on my own/
I'll make sure everybody's cool before I take the throne/
Now take this home, have a think about it/
Even when I do a hook I'm still Kareem about it/
How you 'bout to put me down my self esteems a mountain/
Breathe easy, I know it seems astounding/

[Hook x 2]

Track Name: Christmas In Melbourne.
Man, it's been a year since 'Ye released this joint/
Merry Christmas, from Melbournes own Beastie Boy/
I made you a lil' something, peace and joy/
To the kids getting new toys - please enjoy/

Near the tree, ripping wrapping paper off of their presents/
Complaining how they got more underwear from the parents/
Damn shame that it wasnt Transformers/
Or some Air Jordans, stuff that's more important?!/

You know, It's the festive season/
Smiles from the first gift until it's late in evenin'/
Down here we might get up on our Jetski's even/
The night before, got us all George Jetson dreaming/

Holiday? I was supposed to be leaving/
But my flight got cancelled so I'm alone for the evenin'/
I hope Christchurch is still in good health/
And if shit starts shaking yo get out the house!/

On the real though I really wish I could help/
May the best of your today's be the worst that your dealt/
Doing last minute shopping when it's all sold out/
Don't let car parks here start stressing you out/

'Cos it's all in good time and there's still next year/
So enjoy it while you can with some Christmas cheer/
I remember being 5 with my wish list here/
Man I been a good kid I hope santa can hear?!/

I remember parents stressing how to make ends meet/
Nowadays I get em presents where they say that's neat/
Mum with a tear in her eye saying Ry you're sweet/
Dad looking at me like 'man you've outdone me'/

Now let's sit down and all break bread/
And we're Breaking Bon Bons with stupid hats on our head/
My fans are like Reindeers helping me jet/
Thank you for support, now let's do it again/
Track Name: I'm Me (Outro)
[VERSE 1]

I'm outta, outta the park/
I'm outty, out up on Mars/
My Audi is parked in the stars/
Believe me, I'm leaving a mark/

So when I depart/ I am one of my own/
So please leave me alone, I'm versing all the clones/
My verses are dope, and I'm all by myself/
Skaters all on my shit, I call 'em Clientele'/

When they see all my kicks, they say I'm fly as hell/
Straight outta Slickville, where we buy out the shelf/
Ouch, but this one doesn't count/
I did this on the run, before I hit the ground/

Shout out to all my fans, and for holding me down/
I really love you all, promise to make you proud/
I see you in you in your Vans, every face in the crowd/
Go word up everyone - 'cos we're taking the crown/
When I was down and out, you told me be myself/
Now one hand in air, let's make this a vowel/

[HOOK]

I'm Me, Yeah I'm Me/
They all told me leave, so I told them all Peace/
Yeah 'Cos I'm Me, I'm Just Me/
Will never be the person that you wanted me to be/

These other rappers lame, they all sound the same/
I been doing this for years - consider yourself late/
Yeah 'Cos I'm Me, I'm Just Me/
They all told me leave, so I told them all Peace/

[VERSE 2]

It's funny how for years, they pretend I don't exist/
Then I drop a video - they posting all my clips/
Bob Seger flow, I just run against the wind/
All my raps are dope - I just hope they catch my drift/

I know they got a circle, they don't want to let me in/
And I'm just on my own, so we tell 'em so be it/
But up in their defence, I don't think I'm supposed to fit/
Embracing what I've got, I'm building something that's legit/

Running, we're running at em/
I feel it's supposed to happen/
Running with bow and arrows/
Im shooting off on my atom/

You got a problem captain - that kid Ry just landed/
I may have lost my mind, dedication is mammoth/
Work ethic is madness/ I'm borderline Crazy/
I'm bored with rappers now feels like I'm taking to daisies/
Ask my fans what they think, and they'll tell you amazing/
So I do this for them, 'cos they're the ones that made me/

[HOOK]
