S.K.A.M Lyrics

Ain’t only Pype Hayes where the kids let off fireworks (For real)
The tradition of letting off fireworks is not limited to Pype Hayes neighborhood.

I’m from a place they don’t give you have to find your work (Hustle)
My hometown did not provide employment opportunities, so I had to work hard to find work.

Remember growing up with big dreams to buy a merc Seeing dope boys circle streets like tyre burns
I used to dream of owning a Mercedes while witnessing drug dealers race through the streets.

Aunty used to buy pirates out the back rover (Damn) That’s was Kingscliff road days, tracking with the olders (Mad ting)
My aunt used to buy pirated goods from a clandestine seller. Those were the days when I traversed Kingscliff road in the company of older individuals.

Ronnie’s roller rink, footsteps they were colder I been doing road like a chauffeur (Been doing it)
The atmosphere of Ronnie's roller rink was eerie and I have been traveling like a chauffeur for a long time.

K's fully plugged in sutt'n like Mendoza (Damn right) Fresh out the toaster I’m hot, likkle man I don’t know you They could never keep me out na I’ma go tru in due time ima show you (Mad ting)
I am well connected like Mendoza, and I am confident and ready to take on anyone who gets in my way.

This is just a level check we ain’t reached the eq (What) Warming up my vocals now call dis a preview (Come on)
I am just checking whether I have reached the right level in my music. This is just a warm-up and a preview of what is to come.

2020’s been a mad year so much sad here (Mad ting) But ima still get the flippin bag here
2020 has been an insane year with many challenges and traged. However, I will still work hard to make money.

If you let me, I’ll talk about stories till you get me Not your cuppa tea? But I’m after the bag like Tetley
I have so many stories to tell, and I will not stop until I achieve financial success, even if my style of music is not your preference.

My brain is an instrument these bars are a medley (Yep) To predispose thoughts before you’ve even met me (Yo)
My brain is like a musical instrument and my lyrics are a mix of sounds, rhythms, and words that shape your thoughts before you even meet me.

Some of its me, some of its persona (Yeah) Introverted sometimes, I wanna be a loner Other times I wanna smash a gig, fuck corona (Yep)
Some of my music is autobiographical while other parts are created as a persona. Sometimes, I prefer to be alone while other times I crave performing. I also express my frustration with the pandemic.

Some don’t know themselves like when Kel said ‘Sherona’ Kenan and Kel was a lighter tone (Yo) To deal with the stress and the strife at home (Yep)
Some people do not know themselves well, as illustrated in the TV show 'Kenan and Kel.' The show offered a light-hearted way to cope with the stress and difficulties I faced at home.

My dad couldn’t cope left his wife alone (Shit) So I convey pain through this microphone
My father could not handle the difficulties of our family and left my mother alone. I express my pain through my music.

My therapy for life, when it’s getting at it’s worst (Wow) You only get one shot, not cleverly rehearsed
My music is my therapy when life gets challenging. Also, we only have one chance at life, we cannot rehearse for it.

I can sit back like ‘terribly I’m cursed’ But I’ma come hard, like vasectomies reversed
I could lament my situation, but I will not; instead, I will come out with full force, like a vasectomy reversal.

This might be your last hope Keep grinding Don’t ever take your foot off the gas bro (Yeah) Cash comes and cash goes Keep pushing give it all you can yo
This may be your last chance to make it, keep working hard and do not give up. Money may come and go, but keep pushing and giving your best.

This might be your last hope Keep grinding Don’t ever take your foot off the gas bro (No no) Cash comes (Yeah) and cash goes Keep pushing give it all you can yo
This is your last chance, keep working hard and never give up. Money may come and go, but keep pushing and give it your all.
