8th Gear ft. KayzTheGreat & KS Lyrics

Oh no the lamp is on I've had an idea

I leave a note on the door saying Tim was here so stay clear

I'm only getting starting but I feel like I'm in 8th gear

I hate fear so I walk in the fire, like an unsuspecting sinner in the after life

I do what I don't like

I know if I don't work today my future self won't last the night

My future kids already great

I've never met him but his names Akintimehin so he's straight

My last name means warriors behind me

So if there's blood shed you won't ever see no high knees

It's ten toes till the fire ceases

The dust is settling on my patience so yes I might sneeze

You ain't no man of God so your blessings are like a spiked seed

I don't trust your love I don't need it

You can only truly hate who you once loved I believe it

You live your life with no ethics you'll die for peanuts

I've seen it

The only people around you's bimbo badinas

You can't just roll around with these plonkers and empty divas

My peoples educate me I educate them it's teamwork

Cheaper by the doezen we buy in bulk then we clean up

I could never shine alone when I stay surrounded by beacons

Tim duzit you know I practise my preaching

If I'm saying then I'm living there's no cheating

If I come to you then it's counselling that I'm seeking

That's why i never go nowhere to no one morning to evening

As I get older

The story writes itself I no longer need closure

Burnt a couple bridges and shifted some boulders

Earned a couple scars cause I lived like a soldier

Thank God everyday that my story ain't over

If I don't flip the page then somone gone take over

Tried to take me out they don't know that I'm chauffeured

The clutch doesn't move cause the journey stay heavy

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Way before the sun rise, dawn fall yah bless

It's Written in stars I swear Stacka was on chess

Told my self I ain't got no kryptonite, she at my crib tonight I guess it's one of those

I only trust Christ just look at my life

Thorough to my bone my marrow, we was peddling 8th gear no settling truthfully I'm a Veteran

I'm a masterpiece, that means no man can compare to him

My seed could never ever go dike what I look like

As I bop through the valley of the shadow of death, I know he order my steps

Had to die to my flesh, I Put my people on game, so they see me as threat

You just want cheque mate,you was hold your breath scared

To reveal what you was lacking do you possess

A heart of champion or peasant, I'll take my guess

Be still, know thyself, know your place these are breaks, I am Alawai King

It was sealed before I came

That's on Yah

I had to trap in a min

That's on Yah

Ain't rapper I just handle my business

That's on Yah

If I speak the truth Im the villain

Can't point no fingers I'm sinning

We ain't the same better listen

That's on Yah

Grateful for the cards I was given

That's on Yah

Fuck the system I ain't taken permission

I trust

I ain't bout to push no religion, it's for the kingdom Im drilling can't point no fingers

As I get older

The story writes itself I no longer need closure

Burnt a couple bridges and shifted some boulders

Earned a couple scars cause I lived like a soldier

Thank God everyday that my story ain't over

If I don't flip the page then somone gone take over

Tried to take me out they don't know that I'm chauffeured

The clutch doesn't move cause the journey stay heavy

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Seeking counsel on the beat

Then they pay me back in streams

When you got a 4 year old how much pennies go towards your dreams

How can I disrespect my dad but want Amari to honour me

That's the rapper I'm design to be

Traumas hereditary, hypocrisy

And ignorance is bliss to think a song fixes things

What's an apology if I'm sorry don't come out my lips

Wearing the stereotype it fits

The label and it sticks

Just a young black male with an out of wedlock kid

When my moods milly rocking pick myself up and go shopping

When I'm by myself in the dark my insecurities start knocking

When these songs don't do as well as I wanted

My confidence starts dropping like should I rap about a controversial topic

Just hope in my wallet

Cause God did

Never liked no nine-fives and never liked an office

Never liked being undermined and never got along with my bosses

Rapping is my purpose so bury my mic in my coffin

I'll find out when I'm flatlined even Jesus got baptised and

Miscommunication making friendships capsize

I pat my youngens on the back never had someone to pat mine

Missing my dead cousin how precious is time

And now I realise when our schedules don't align

I'm like Ali shaking from all of the fights

And when the damage is collateral you've got to bring it to light

It's hard to have the vision when you're blind

But I'm the two dots with a line KS

As I get older

The story writes itself I no longer need closure

Burnt a couple bridges and shifted some boulders

Earned a couple scars cause I lived like a soldier

Thank God everyday that my story ain't over

If I don't flip the page then somone gon take over

They tried to take me out they don't know that I'm chauffeured

The clutch doesn't move cause the journey stay heavy

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready

Eighth gear so they know that I stay ready
