Alright, Hi there my name is Alexander
I’m 19 years old, I’m trying to be a rapper
see its been hard to write a resume
I better express myself with a pen and let it play.
Tried to bring it back to school but got tenure pay
so I taught myself everything I know, except my fate
Cos I’ve learnt quite often, life is taken in an instant
You blink and its gone and you know that you missed it.
Like Shit man, where the hell we go wrong
ooh shivers down my spine as im penning this song.
But anyway let me get to the topic,
Yeah so I like to write down words and rhyme them
infatuated with the way the verbs align with
The paragraphs poetry purposely is primal.
cos I do what I know, instict of an animal
Refreshing like fruit but still confuse it with antelopes.
CHORUS (RUMBLE)
Cutss mad fresh brahhhhh
My name is alex and ill admit that im addict
“Hi Alex” Man this shit is backwards
Alright ive got a problem and want a new chapter
If I am Being honest I might die if I go back there.
I mean like every other day they beat me down
I’m more angry then usual I don’t need this now
But the voices In my head ask would she be proud
and I don’t know what to do why cant you leave me out.
Sorry I got chatting to myself
This other voice that’s in my heads is talking back aswell.
With mirrors on the walls head feeling a circus
how reals the feeling when you really aint feeling too certain.
You see it all started when I was new to the grind
Pursuing the rhymes get the drums and and loop in time
is it my voice or his is the truth or a lie
So ask yourself the question only you can decide.

Easy

cos its way to easy to live
and we just don't really wanna do nothing
sun on your face feel the breeze of the wind.
but after last night i don't think i can function
[VERSE ONE]
sunset in that afternoon skyline
on my balcony, friends sipping on mai thais.
girls in the high heels, felllas rocking fresh kicks.
but we stay humble don't need chains or a necklace
but smiles all around and thats all that matters
living in the now, don't update with a status.
blow fro magnum, so so happened.
tune kicks harder than the dojos master.
we haven't met, i aint shy like that.
come join the party, ago i ride like that.
and we can fly like that, it's all about the wisdom
funny how we so close, but separate by the distance
the bottle caps of yesterday in my left pocket,
got a big stress doctor.
so if you want we can dance until midnight.
could never get sick of living this life
CHORUS
cos its way to easy to live
and we just don't really wanna do nothing
sun on your face feel the breeze of the wind.
but after last night i don't think i can function
x2
And now we approaching the summer time
finished school and I swear that im loving life
so bang a beat we’ll start a boogie in the forrest
working hard like we getting in the pussy in the office
No suit and tie, I cant handle that
rather write these raps and travel around the map
it aint all easy though its been hard
seen the court rooms, bottom of coffins and deep scars
but when im down I just pick up my pencil
light a spliff groove to the instrumental
Elemental in the way the I can bend to
Any one around me , im glad to have met you.
So come with me and when the skys are grey
I can part the clouds and we’ll fly away
cos its been a long year but we deserve a break
so the suns out and im going ona holiday
cos its way to easy to live
and we just don't really wanna do nothing
sun on your face feel the breeze of the wind.
but after last night i don't think i can function
Lately ive been stuck in a rut
And I maybe I havnt been doing enough
but its crazy cos the fans got my back
My fam and my lads we all got to that.
Lately ive been stuck in a rut
And I maybe I havnt been doing enough

i might as well go write a a verse on a dubby track
and list a couple reasons why your fucking wack
1, no flow, 2 you stutter on your word shit
3, your taste literally smells as bad my my turd did.
and we know that somehow the dude has got an ego
if you jumped off a building the only thing id say “homles porbrecito ?”
cappisho, 4, you really need to go and lose a couple kilos
you busting out ya pants to reveal the sexy speedos.
Oh that’s a fucking bad judgement call
the type of dude to sit take a piss in a public stall.
A suck a coupe balls through a glory hole you fucking mole
everyone you think your mates with ive watched em duck your calls,.
Aint that weird
But then again kids do do the strangest things
and I didn’t write this for the particuliars,
But if you think its about you it probly is.
Fuck it I bit the bullet, but bitches they wouldn’t pull it
I pulled up on em and knock em with one shit no need for full clips
I do the way I do it, pursue, the fluent music
I’m true, my way to prove it is by standing by all the nuance.
Fuck it how the kid go style like that
and how we rhyme like that
I used to lead my people want that limelight back .
so me rumble roar ridiculous rhymes and write like that.

The Offset
02:58
|
|||
Art of seduction,
show people what they don’t need and they want it
couple hundreds and then they got it.
Couple months and they lost it
long term investments isn’t really an option
cos if I cant make it now and takes a bit longer
Then a feel that I lost the buzz that was the offset.
Of course who gives a fucking shit what el will make
I drop a rtack they’re like what the hell he say.
I dunno aymore, its like a different game
and if don’t evolve they might as well kill me mate.
Cos this industry is just a pack of animals
hungry cannibuls, who out to kill like a jackal wolf.
Pick apart the rhymes you can google that
your music stinks like smelly shitty dooo doo crapy.
Im krunk trying to get my new groove back
you offended then fuck it you can sue me man
I know man, I know
How the fuck the kid get that flow
Study your books word to cole
cos icos im trying get fuck out the suburbs , suburbs.
It’s the offset,
I’m grand theft red dead acting like an outlaw
I got dreams why the fuck am I in this house for.
talking to myself like I really need to get out more
but its like im caught in a small room without doors.
And no lights, even though I hold the bulb
I just need a bit of spark till I hold the globe
On my back ill carry like a trailer freight.
And I aint afraid of what I am yeah but what I aint
And what if what I make is what will break/ me
And when does the weather wash my mistakes. /save me.
To be honest I feel insane as fuck of lately. (STRAIGHT INTO) -----
Cos i been doing the same expecting something else its crazy
On date with a destiny but I just sit and day dream
So she leaves my ass, in a pile of smoke that’s hazy
been seing mary daily, but I don’t wanna fuck with the chick
cos in life you got one love and this is it

Chorus:
Me and my bitch, took a little trip
Down to the garden, took a little dip (oh noo)
Apple juice falling from her lips took a little sip (boom)
Little sip
Took a little sip, took a little sip
T-T-Took a little, took a little, took a little sip (uh)
Uh huh
took a little sip of the fountain of youth
come to do whatever you down to do
the garden of paradise won't leave till I've found the truth
look so hard for the sound of you.
you get down but aint around enough
when you are , you got fake drive like a tonka trunk
they say that el so hard to touch
but damn he's so smooth when the bars erupt
be honest , a lesson that will stand the times
shit come and go all around your life,
money, love, people, sex
if you hold on then you're bound to stress
so if you fall down and can't be caught
then spread wings and fly like the gulls at port
but don't be sore we can ride again
wear that make up like you shy but man
wonder what your daddy reckon is he the proudest
knowing that his quite little girl got a mouth the loudest.
she the loudest
Me and my bitch, took a little trip
Down to the garden, took a little dip (oh noo)
Apple juice falling from her lips took a little sip (boom)
[Bridge x2: Kendrick Lamar & J. ColAnnotatee]
Bitches come and go (You know that)
Money come and go (You know that)
Love come and go (Don't shit last)
live life like shit don't last
watch life as it all go past
lights out watch it all go black.
live life when shit don't last
watch life as it all go past
lights out watch it all go black.
took a little trip to the mountain side
and if you ready ago I'm down to ride,
but you ride passenger, i'm in full control
love don't last it don't take a fool to know
i mean you live life on an every day basis
me i'm on the move new city new places
techni carl , but you on the basics.
win the race but don't make me a racist.
new faces they all want in
a pawn only a queen cos cross the board and
you go all in, whilst i hold them cards
play the undertone, like i play that bass shit.
pluck string on hearts but I'm just playing
words don't mean shit. then again I'm just saying
me and my chick, something unstoppable
life begin and end in a hospital
so guess life is spent in-between is an obstacle.
but i'll live by my words like oracles.
Me and my bitch, took a little trip
Down to the garden, took a little dip (oh noo)
Apple juice falling from her lips took a little sip (boom)
[Bridge x2: Kendrick Lamar & J. ColAnnotatee]
Bitches come and go (You know that)
Money come and go (You know that)
Love come and go (Don't shit last)
shit don't last, but I'm happy forever
it rains then i stand in the weather
cold nips so i stare at the sweater
just playing, damn i could be gambling better.
get that, cos you c.can't its gambeling.
Now you think whos he acting so arrogant.
me mother fucker I'm el, like cancer and
double meaning like ima god damn anagram.
wait is that the right thing
question myself like i need some smiting,
but god as my witness, i came to kill the game
release my tape the same day they hear the name
play that like backwards
making my mark ben n josh in the wackness
speak to my therapist, but she don't know what parents is
coming on and she dressed like marilyn
but i say no cos thats so damaging.
get embarrassing,see me swinging from chandeliers.
who been asking where the dancers here
i don't know but i just upped my damn career.
but who would have thought that i would kill it
big in japan but i live in st kilda.
who get iller then iller vanilla's my colour
elojis the name and I'm out mother fucker.

the cargos heavy when the cargos heavy
they call me desperado
the car hgoes heavy when the heavy.
Yeah but what the heck would I know
well alright, It’s alright
If you aint feeling the vibe I don’t mind its alright
well alright, It’s alright
If you aint feeling the vibe I don’t mind its alright
As I ride my bike out into the sunshine
I wanna brin g it back for the kids writing dumb lines
Punch rhymes, fuck that I’m speaking to my people
so breakers let your hair down dj’s off the needle //
Take a step back, grab a bew and rep rap
Cos we hold it down for the city so im asking where my heads at
So big ups to big words, and both big and little sol
Elemont, doc flea, dibe and Dylan joel. //
Cos I got big love for the new era whos out kicking wraps
cos we stand tall on the brim but we still aint fitted caps.
Cos we evolved from boom bap, now australias where different at
A hard road with a fire in the belly, vets who lit the match. //
I take the cargo and carry it like a trailer freight
I aint afraid of what I am, but of what I aint.
and it’s alright if you aint veeling the vibe
cos at the end of the night you’re the one denying the light well alright. //
the cargos heavy when the cargos heavy
they call me desperado
the car hgoes heavy when the heavy.
Yeah but what the heck would I know
well alright, It’s alright
If you aint feeling the vibe I don’t mind its alright
well alright, It’s alright
If you aint feeling the vibe I don’t mind its alright

He Said, She Said
03:39
|

He fell in love with the morning the way the sun rose
She Wake up on the couch wearing the same clothes
Whats the end to the story that only the fates know
I dunno but it stars him and her as the stars of the stage show
He was quite and shy the kind to stay at home
She was the life of the party popping mollies and drinking rose
So when she ain't there he's with Mary getting stoned
Writing love songs for her cos she, she like his poems
They hanging at the station like two snotty kids
Smoking cigarettes and watching the smoke spin
I mean they met cos he always saw at his gigs
An anonymous fan that would bump her head with the kick
They laugh and tell stories about what there dreaming
The first thought when she wakes up. They last when he's sleeping
But he has nightmares and he's fighting with his Deamons
I guess that's why he always looks frightened in the evening
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
They used to be connected like trading Pokemon
Now they're love is something they don't focus on. What went wrong
She cried a river out a super soaker gun
Looking at his smile but feels sorrow as she's chocking up
Well she's thinking is it worth it.
Did I just waste my time with a guy with no purpose
Is love even real. Should I really keep on searching
I mean he's got dreams but can't achieve em it ain't certain
Mean whilst he's home as happy as can be
He's got his issues but he's just happy he is free
He finally met a girl that understands his need
Is supportive of his dreams and knows will never cheat
But he knows it ain't enough but works 60 hour week
And she's just pissed cos he ain't what he's set out to be
She's listening to atmosphere and kendrick Lamar
Whilst looking in his eyes thinking hell never get it that far
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Now the story of two young song birds
Concludes with the life lesson that love hurts
I mean love burns but that's what you get what when you play with fire
But it also shows you should always take what you desire
Cos he's rocking gigs on the weekly
Working shifts he's in knee deep
But still dreams of her when he is sleeping
Still fighting with Deamons but keeps them at bay
Now she's out partying looking for Deamons to slay
He thinks of her face and with a bit of regret
He kisses the air then lights a cigarette
Opposite sides of the tracks but same suburbs
Strangers turned friends, then saviours turn lovers
Cos days passed and weeks turned and years rolled over
Yet him and her are still in fear of the closure
Cos they both live on memories of what once was
That's the last damn time he writes a love song.
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie

I don’t live the same lifestyle most rappers do
See after school I go home and packa bewg
Sit down, organize the rent and maybe make some food
I do that whilstmother dudes are making moves
Living life the wrong side of the damn mattress
Heavy hung gonna hell in hand basket
I believe my actions answer anything you been asking
Im day dreaming My eyes are made of acid.
Wanted so bad to make it big but fuck em all
I just made music that id listen to and duck their calls
Cos I didn’t want commotion, I just wanted to make tunes
and surprise my mate s on the day I manage to have a break through.
And nek minute they hearing me on different radio stations
now my phone keep ringing saying I cant believe that you made it.
but fuck it man when that happens I might leave the matrix
With the self realization that I cant keep on playing the game and.
Whats real, whats real
I don’t really know cos I don’t really feel
Say it whats real whats real
I don’t really know cos I don’t really feel.
Im a night owl, flying when its lights out
a young kid with a dream who made sure it never died down
A teen began to sing even when they told em pipe down
Hand picked by the greatest tell em hit the stage like right now.
So I did, who wou;ld have thought I would do it all
Certaintly not me a few years ago.
but here we are, and here we stand
dudes are making moves and crossing crews just to be the man
I see the plan, stay young like peter pan
the end product of when the fucking dream began.
Im want the purple to boost me like we playing peggle
fuck punch rhymes man im another level.
any way im playing san andreas with mates
Whilst they entertain that idea that we should begin to bake.
So light it up begin the roast
riase your drinks, lets make a toast.
Whats real, whats real
I don’t really know cos I don’t really feel
Say it whats real whats real
I don’t really know cos I don’t really feel.
Walking with a warrior heading down stepping stones
every couch im on is like a second home
handing out my shit cos I just wanna get it known
Need some dip the way I eat chips on shoulders then em let it go
but fuck it man, I’m free falling
My imaginitation a cabinent and im dream sorting.
I keep on em, they always keep there heels tucked
theyre putting on a show but I keep saying that bill sucks
Cos I keep telling myself to get a job
but steve walked through the gates is kicking with god.
Fresh cut jibs that make the memories
Alright peace I’m done my name is Eloji.
Whats real, whats real
I don’t really know cos I don’t really feel
Say it whats real whats real
I don’t really know cos I don’t really feel.
