Start

Let's start from the start Listen up these are bars from the past Came up thinking I'd cross paths with the stars If I aim up I could hit the dot with the dart With my art, I was talented Didn't plan this shit, I was adamant Never asked for a hand in it No managers or handlers I'm commanding ship I was captain campaigning as a candidate Please elect me for your ears let me rap in it I'd select beats that were free from the Internet Bought a mic, SM58 still have it For noise cancelling I used spare mattresses My mate could rap we formed an alliance He taught me how to flow like a tide Multi-syllabics it was all like a science New Dawn Poets we were spawned from the giants Nas, Eminem, Tupac, Biggie Tried emulating what we're hearing So the bars set as high as the ceiling Went hard from the jump, popped in the beginning We were known locally as the dope emcees It was still a joke to me how some awkward teens Had the lyrical potency over the local scene Culturally there's an opening for both to sit There's Aussie rap with strong slang and accents And American rap bout thugs and gangsters We wanted to bridge the gap with our lyrics Make something relatable for our friends First Gen immigrants felt left out in it So we made music that we would want to listen to People shared are our sounds around We were kids geeking Even getting listens from the different schools The benefits of being in a group Was that the work would be generally split in two What happens when the vision isn't clear to you Soon things were beginning to get difficult We're growing up maturing into different dudes I don't know what's the reason but its pitiful One lie can strip you from your principles Two lies means the truth's inadmissible Third time now your life's just fictional Resentment's always growing over time Relationships get sour as a lime So I saw a sign then I sawed the line This sorta kind of divide can't be solder ironed Suicide and the New Dawn Poets died Mourning, go ahead son pour a pint Dead Poet Society joining in the line At the morgue there's a corpse frozen in it's prime Lost in a time now what's left for Lace Like Fawkes I revive still got life in me I'm a hawk with my eyes now I see life clearly There's growth of a kind even when not winning I'm a porcupine with the quill I'm inking I'm sharp, I can switch flow up like a pump You don't know know a rapper more smart Now I'm going Solo like Han Trying to be like Bolo with the punch Lines pouring from the heart Had to go and open up accounts MC Lace find me on the cloud Facebook, Insta, but it slowed it down No shares, no views, no cares, no clout Advertisements, algorithms You have to pay up now for visits It's rigged, even how they count the listens Some threw the towel and got out the kitchen What's selling out? When no artists are selling Now it's all just how you garner mentions You're a goner if you're not on what's trending In my feelings coz it's all about meming Not about the art, skill or meaning Farming their songs, keep on repeating They can't compete so they started cheating Pretend you have heat and dumb believe it I'm destined to be underachieving I'm leader, I don't give a f*ck about pleasing People who don't even know who Kool G is I don't need to give a bunch of reasons Why I'm not dropping shit all the time like a seagull Releasing only quality like Eastwood Be grateful I'm still here after six years Feeding, if you crave bars get to feasting Fans who appreciate the art please repeat it I'm the heat warming up your blood, I'm a fever I'm a creep recording all my fucks, I'm a streamer To f*ck is to beat, so I beat the beat up Pepe the frog sipping on the tea cup Everything I've written with precision like a key cut Every composition has a message I'm a teacher My shit is timeless Ever after years they'll still rewind it Don't compare me to my peers just a lil reminder I compete against me I'm a different fiber I don't have a problem if I don't blow up I will get my money from another route Show me an Aussie rapper living comfy now I do this for fun and I do it proud I do it coz I'm good and it soothes me down I'm content in the roots where it counts Yeh I'm done
