Hey Its not that I’ve been here for me You always been a part of me And I wont chase it anymore Cause i was trying just to Glow again But the sentiments Let myself fall again Glow again But the sentiments Let myself fall again
2.
In the summertime smoking till my lungs dry Mama told me stop, cause i know it makes her heart cry The worry doesnt drop, it makes the gap wider She said she dreams of my grandfather, and the roles that she played as a daughter And i know that im a bothersome son And i know im not grown in the way that she wants All this prose i disclose with a flow on the drums Taking all my time and making minimal funds Divisions that aligned between my uncles and aunts Yea the ridges sliding further, i could never outrun As a kid when i swore, they stuffed the spice in my tounge Laughing now, but i was scared as a youngin So now im careful with my words that i used for confronting Cause i know it can be sharp if i forgotten to blunt it Its good to have some space for all my thoughts that been budding Cause my mind like a dam when it cracks be floooding Tryna reach my higher self like my brothers in london Tryna prove to myself that i got nothing to prove Nothings true but yourself and thats something you lose
3.
Weight that my bars reclaim Dust on the shards that i keep in frame When i bite i dont bark i just hide my cravings Fuck your remarks, i just get my payments Scared of the dark, now i sleep so shameless Burnt in my ribs, but my sins flirtatious Stuck in my crib, while i word my phrases First to reflect cause it last in stages Worsen the debt, cuz i stretch my favours Know that im blessed, i gotta thank my saviours Page and the pen, help me curb behaviours Sharpen the lens, just to blur my failures Now and again i like to save my prayers Now and again i like to save Stay greedy You cant say what u want, and try to read me Stay sleepy You said you couldn't find a point to try to reach me Lets repeat
4.
Switching extremes Crop off the cream I got my plan and my schemes All just to thrive in the scene Build my esteem Visions are turning obscene Real goals u could call me karim Routines turn to building to regimes Eye rolls ive been scrolling the screens Rage hid in the back of my spleen Stuck in the path in between Stuck in the path in between Stuck in the path in between Never be used to the bleeding Time robs it be constantly thieving All the things that you miss when you sleeping All the things that you lost when you leading All the things that you kept when releasing Stuck in the path in between Stuck in the path in between Stuck in the path in between

Tryna settle find a mi amor Yea the rocks settle first before they hit the shore Tryna fatten up the purse, just to feel assured Somethings worse beneath the verse, tryna strike a chord Like a mouse shouting curses pon the squeaky floor Tryna swallow truths, to find a patience that been reinstored Some solotions sweet, some be bittergourds Delusions that i tweak, just to feed my core I know when it rains, then it gets to pouring It be hard to make it out when ur singaporean Had to make another rout, to get to auditoriums Wonder what they saying when im burning in a crematorium When im burning in a crematorium One time for the ones i couldn't keep close One time for the ones i didnt see grow One times for the ones who kept me still when i tipped over One times for the ones who didnt give closure Under the roofless sky I’ve come to slowly realize That Ive been wasting my whole life Searching for every reason why If I

Tooth Holes 02:32
Too cold Man im cooking like i got two stoves Man im spittin like i got tooth holes They still snakes if they shed they skin The shit i coudnt shake and i coudnt rinse The blitz within the pain turn to something flaming Momma hit me with the cane when im misbehaving Earning change for my raps, but im never changing The phrasing that relapses into new arrangements i know the limit in my obligations And the panic just a rubble of a indication New paths i was sure to blaze All these mazes i was trying just to navigate All these tears start evaporating I got lots on my plate i dont want it vacant I wont shy from my struggles give it salutations I wont shy from my struggles give it salutations I wont shy from my struggles give it salutations People like to go outside While i stand in my demise Marching left till i see right Singing shit i dont rewrite I been stuck on my device Waiting for this bishh i like I dont think before i cry I dont i felt surprising I dont think before im lying My name gone last well past my dying
7.
Who's guiding your survival Theres no weight in ur grams but you hold it like ur bible Your praying for some fans, while i search under the tidal Tryna make a stand but i duck from being viral Theres no pearl in these clams but ull swipe it for ur algo Rhythms secondhand but ill wrap it with my eyes close Recognize the truth but ur lies closer Backhand i could swing it like im Sharpova Gems that i fling with a string then i tarp over I aint sleep in a bit Dead eye like im like Kyle Korver Im bored with your shit So i get borders Cornered in my ways but im standing still Saving all the green i aint talking abt the chlorophyll Sorry that im stingy with the dollar bills Spilling truth out my guts but my stomach filled Words hot but delivered chilly Trust my bros that be sticking with me Squash the beef for the bread, i guess ill order phily Cheese Take a picture it will last longer, Yall tussle for the fixture, just to look stronger Ill be the bigger man just to look taller Yall tussle for the fixture, just to look stronger

Semi Circles 02:24
First of all all praise to the lord of beginnings With every breath that i take theres a hum of a sentence With every theft of a space that just limits repentence I see that precense not enough u needed more than attendence Desensitize the senses that just grips on dependence Dont be pushin, or im pushing two fist in your chin Incentivize the tension that just pulls on revenge How old till we fasten up our belts for the end Meditation till we recognize the master within Can u see what is out is inherently in Every object that is transient you could never defend Yea ur bodys a identity you shoudnt befriend Recognise Its more than muscles, and the bones and ur skin Ill advised By the vultures that have fed on my sins Self enquire whats inside that just last eternal Dont hide what u pry yea the cries are fertile Drawling lines in the curves till they semi circles Drawling lines in the curves till they semi circles You know im trying my best To be more than the pages that been left on my desk I forgot to listen, i was speaking instead I went and made a difference now Im carrying less I just march with what Im given with the beat in my chest Tryna make my fuckin mark before I'm meeting my death
9.
Papa said when he pass he gon pass a gold chain That his momma gave him when she passed early Tryna stay on the path but it gets curvy These days when im out i just get nervy But i talk big game like im james worthy Chasing at my ghost like im bill murray Last one for the road till im cold turkey I say that one time Then the next thirty My mom smell my shirt say she dont know me I only know the journey when it gets lonely Things i was concerend seems to get lost Recognizing the demons that i once fought Leaving my cocoon i was shellshocked I aint going anywhere like some old stocks If u buying lucky stones thats a sham rock Nicky made the beat so its head bopping Growin at a speed there be no stalling
10.
Overthinking all these thoughts till my brain numbing Over bandaging a clot but my nails like to stay plucking Nimble with my bruises but I stay rubbing What I lost with my youth, but I stay trudging I drank a lil bit just to stay buzzing The waves of your mind could be real crushing What you mean when said you nothing What you mean when u said u never felt loving I guess I get what you mean that I was never enough The frames that was left often stacked into dust I aint holding a grudge Spite not a thing but a wobbling crutch Despite of what you think it was more than a smudge Despite of all the things ya know I couldn’t begrudge you Im just doing all I can just to proved that I loved you Hope you doin fine but I’ve been better without you
11.
Answers 02:10
Answers that i learnt, For these questions that i pass, Couldn't find it in church Is it faith that i just lack Struggle in my worth Couldn't find it in my pack Yea i lighted up my troubles With Sampeorna cigarettes Bruce lee-ing on the habit Now relief is in my tracks Guilt that i neglect, Regretting that be bulking up distress Now my mental really fragile So i keep it in my chest When i write it just unravels Man I’m ending up with less For the hurting that I've caused Thru my actions and emotional mess Looking at the mirror Felt a cold in my flesh There be treasures at the centre Of the holes that i dredge I'm just doing my best Held it in for so long  Blew  smoke just to cover how i felt wronged Took it slow need a buffer for my past flaws Let it go, let it go Man i held it in for so long
12.
I can’t explain The feeling being lost in your arms I can’t explain The feeling of losing you For sure i missed a couple times For sure i wouldve asked if you would let me pry For sure i was feeling flat, that i coudnt cry For sure i found a debt when i calculate the time lost For sure i could have left ur decisions to the coin toss For sure i thought of places that i wont cross For sure i thought of faces that i hoped i woudnt For sure i said some words that i know i shoudnt For sure i took some things that i know i coudnt For sure there were some things that was worth pursuing For sure there were some things that i had stopped renewing For sure i wasnt sure that i was worth losing For sure i wasnt sure that i was worth losing

Hobble 01:23
On this path its a mission just to stay lost
How we tasked with the vision when it gets dark
I be masked with dependence but our head hard Took a glass for acceptance, would you keep pouring Then I took another breath so i stay soaring
Than I make another beat while they stay snoring Punching bars to this heat i call it hot boxing
When i rap you need a read to get my real thoughts in Yellowing my teeth cause i smoke often
I was mellowing the grief but it don't soften
I was burrowing deceit, got my mind clogging
Writing verses when I'm drinking call it bar hopping Imma spare you with the deets, in the night sobbing Shit be weighing on my feet, so i stay hobbling

about

Sue's DIY approach only improves when he decides to release this LP via bié. Knowing that he's the only rap artist on the entire roster, Sue departs from his usual collage production style and leans more on working with instrumental passages with the help of his local friends who play in bands. The other strong suits of his, lyrics & vocal delivery, definitely shine with the streamlined and smooth production in the background.

It's always magical when Sue "drawls": his lips seem slow, spitting out words about growing up and loss; his tone, vague and sometimes even chopped up, but the message is intimate and crystal clear in the ears; Sue could be emotional, but he will never get bogged down in emotions; his introspective and broken verses deliver nothing but confidence and self-assurance.

For Sure reeks of tobacco dampened by the humid summer air; it tells a lot about how Sue thinks about his surroundings, yet hides even more. All we know is that the yellow teeth, dried lungs caused by chainsmoking, and the momentary confusion created by the tumbled world can't stop Sue from reaching for his higher self.
