The Khali Chronicles Lyrics

The Khali Chronicles - Khaligraph Jones

...

12th June 1990 I was finally birthed

Was time for me to find out what this planet is worth

Jamaa home where I got my sanity first

Guess you could say that this is where I was handed the curse

Now av been rapping since a kid and its all talent based

Wasn’t for fame I never knew that talent paid

Music was how I got through my silent phase

And at the same being a child my parents raised

If you from where am from you’d know what it is

When you forced to be a man when you only a kid

We got bills to pay to people owning your crib

Or else you gonna get evicted and get thrown in the streets

I had to double up and find a way to switch it instead

See you got to find your purpose or your vision is dead

Nowhere to sleep little cousin still pissing the bed

Pap is sick as hell he popping ridiculous meds

What would you do if you was faced with the same

First step to fight this is to embrace in the pain

Ghetto chronicles a young brother making the name

As you fight to see the light be prepared for the rain

When the rain stop beware of the slippery floor

I had to hustle hard just so I could get through this doors

Clout chasers want to even the score

Paparazzi want to know what you purchasing when you leaving the store

Let me explain the process

Before the fame came back when you couldn’t gain the profits

It was longer than you probably think

Ladies and gentlemen this how the journey’s been

S

So now I fall in love with music and this is how the interest grew

Big bro was a rapper since in school

I always wanted to be like him coz he been this dude

And this is exactly where am about to begin this look

In 205 me and Hope kid we started a click

KOB did the intro coz he thought we could spit

We did a couple songs together till 2006

Then we parted ways that’s when I decided to switch

Around the same time I developed a love for the sound (It’s the joint)

Yes Mwaf was holding it down

My perspective for hip-hop is different now

Coz Mwafrika is suddenly the talk of the town

So now its underground hip-hop am listening to

Muki Garang and Nanoma were keeping it true

Chris Kantai, Kapten and the rest of the crew

Used to go hard they would never stick to the rules

Fast forward in 208 I get on the stage

First battle I start putting rappers in graves

See the whole crowd at WAPI was really amazed

Now am getting mad praise from this nigga called Blaze

Until I met this nigga called guardian I lost

It’s not in every fight you always come out as a boss

But if you learn from your mistakes and not give up on your cause

You bound to bounce back and let them know you a force

2009 Mc Africa am at it again talk smack punchlines with ashadi and chin

Point blank verse Khaligraph the rap of the king

I had to let it go coz honestly it had to be him

By 2010 I was getting love from most people

2011 boy buzzing like a mosquito

Slanging mixtapes but its free ……..

That’s when I met Ace ,Xtatic and Oxidoh

Now radio stations they call me for a freestyle show

By 2013 no rapper could match my freestyle flows

At Homeboyz  man I was a freestyle pro

At Capital they used to call me JI Jones

Now am hanging out with Kristoff we killing the scene

We be happening biggest banger in 2013

Same year Stl got down with the team

Biashara drops and everyone is messing with me

In 2014 me and Octo we started a beef

But this time see my name is getting hype in the streets

2015 Yego drops and that was the heat

Made a brother elevate and later started to eat

In 2016 Mazishi went straight to the books

Been doing shows all over Kenya every weekend am booked

Am a household name now with cooperate deals

Bellaire and Coke was giving me cooperate mills

In 2017 I was called on NTV

Did an interview where they said that the mc bleached

My haters celebrated said it’s finally over

Only to realize that I can’t be beat

Fast forward 2018 the album dropped

Best reviews best album the album hot

Testimony 1990 changed the game

Coz before it came out all this other niggas album flopped

Now I finally get a visa I head to the States

Afrimma nominated rapper I was setting the pace

Came back for Sound City

That’s early 2020 black brother hate so I had to step on his face

2020 would be the year for me to get on it

But Corona virus came when we met karma

Couldn’t perform anymore so less drama

But everybody was listening to yes bana

2021 started on a very high note

Biggest hip-hop collaboration that terrified folks

Khali and Sarkodie man who’s ready to fight those

Two kings on one track that is certified dope

And now we her still kicking the same damn vibe

Do for love Tupac the gang gang high

Invisible currency the man can fly

I can rap good and flex at the same damn time

Over 15 years av been making plenty moves

Long jeredy that you don’t get from any dudes

And this sort of pain many many loose

Who’d ever thought ad make it to 2022

Bless you if you’ve been a believer from day one

And if you join along the way then you too is A1

My fam Bluink no need to say none

We blood for life we die by the same gun
