Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-intro-crayon-castles-lyrics [Verse: Braidz] Ayo Whattup Fam, I know it's been a minute Since, B' been creeping in your speaker system I'm thankful for my fans because they keep on listening Now I'm back to rock the boat, cock my throat, but they won't see man finish No homo, I got flows yo But lately I've been feeling cold as fuck My stove blowed and my flow froze And I had no time to rap I'm getting older bruh' I'm 24 now and I'm still stuck in my clothes closet Laying down tracks like a junkie that won't drop it Went to Uni 2 years back, nothing to show for it Became a critic of myself, like "Fuck it my flow's boring Need an Image I can sell and touch up ya' voice homie How you saying you the man, sounding like you a boy phony? Claiming that the Cal see 'em, sounding like you Soy only... Well that just gave me more focus, now I feel all knowing Know that I won't give up 'til the day my curtains calls open Even if I'm poor, broken I'mma bleed it out for ya'll folk until the sores closing and the lords poking Looks like the Frame's dropped and I'm stuck in this scene here Dumping on these rappers - I ain't fucking a weak bitch Best on the bill show's something to see, kids Jumping in their Vans like I'm Palming Off Treats, it's The, weed hitting, beat mixing, deep missioned MONSTER! Mead drinking, Lean's gimpy, street single ROCKSTAR! Dream winning lost one, deemed vicious boss brah' Peak spitting, G Hitting, Streamed Visioned, TOP CUNT! Keeping it locked up - I threw the key away Back for good and I need to stay Because no matter how tough you might seem to mates Us musicians all weep the same, read the page... [Hook: Braidz] So I've been gone for a minute but I feel like it's time to come back now There's a wave on the rise and I feel like it is something I could catch now 'Cause these day's in the underground everybody sounds a little cracked out And it's wack how all of their tracks sound... I think it's time to bring the smackdown... [Scratches: DJ Denno]

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-crayon-castle-lyrics [Intro: Sample] [Intro: Braidz] Ladies & Gentleman... Boys & Girls... I'd like to welcome you all to my castle... Just let me talk for a minute... [Verse: Braidz] As a kid I thought I'd be something like an Astronaut Now I'm grown all I am is badly poor and have no job So I'm shooting for the stars - Like the tips of the pyramids When I say *gun noises* - It's just clips of me killin' it If I keep focusing on smoking weed and video games Then my hopes to be a dope MC will wither away So, Hopefully you notice me; A Lyricist - Braidz I'mma bomb or blow the scene, either way the missiles are aimed But It's my time, my life, I'mma find my highlights You strung me up now you get to watch this Kite fly For every Dope rapper there's that Bubble In The Pipe Who brings Fresh Air while the others keep it Light Dudes that think they're god's son's but ain't sick as this I'mma Celebrate your death's - Like Christmas cheers Metaphors out the ass, my shit is sick When I cut I skin heads - Like Britney Spears I'm that dude you don't want to jump on a gig with The way I'll win those bars over, I could start up a prison Your horrid chick can swallow dick, mine when she gobbles it 2Chainz called her Big Booty, I call her my Bottom Bitch On that note I've got something to say When I say "faggot" it's not meant in a derogatory way And I don't mean to offend if you are honestly gay Same when I say "Bitch", "Whore", "Hotties" & "Skanks" So... Ladies and Gentleman, any alike I'd like to welcome you to my Castle take a step on inside If you head to the right I'm betting you'll find The dungeon where I keep my mentality tied Notice the room on the left is just Naked, Blank... That's where I used to have my creative Space! Upstairs is the room where I lay awake The door that's painted grey to display my pain Look directly above and you'll see a massive chandelier It doesn't work though, I've been using it to hang my fears Behind the steps you'll find a church to pray in But excuse the walls they were burnt by Satan Kitchen and Dining but no Chef's that cook Seafood They're more like them Butchers from Resident Evil Bathroom out back but no power through the walls These days I hate water I just shower in my thoughts... See I've got bars to contain my rage, encaged But they're still saying Braidz is strange for days Even Kobe couldn't teach me to Fade Away, they say Can't have your cake and eat it - but it tasted great, I ate! The paper plate was saved I used to write this You will never meet another lunatic like me I'm manic and evil Been through shit in the past year lost drive ended up in the passenger seat, dude Honestly I didn't think I'd have me a sequel Not this fast at least but I'm happy to see you I'mma build my story more with Crayon Castles and steeples And then fill it with my Paddlepop People...

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-words-play-lyrics [Verse: Braidz] So let's play a game called bars with Braidz I've already Painted Pictures that you can't display I'm Covered to take the Ball now - Masquerade Yo i'm the Tidal Storm that will push your Cast Away Not enough bars - too many filler lines That's why our acts find it hard at gigs to even fill a line Speed Rushing their bars, so I don't even feel a line I don't do this for Kicks, I guess I've never felt that FILA Line As the Tom Cruise I bomb dudes who Can't Handle The Truth That's why it's All Eyes On Me when I stand in the booth If we were co-workers at Subway you couldn't Rap with me dude I'd put you in To Coma's when my Mac Is approved I'll Kick you in the Throat so you're Next to taste Defeat I used to think my haters had never played for peace Thought they slept on mad bars which made em meditate for weeks They say I can't play ball? NA, They'll never play with "B" [Hook: Braidz] They say that you're a nerd Braidz Ain't heard me in the first place I'd kick you to the curb mate you ain't hot... My bars be to superb hey And when I let my Words Play They do not hear this wordplay that I've got... [Verse: Braidz] They said I'm a nuisance, but nah I'm a new sense I'm new since you used to find me hanging where the noose ends Needed to Change my ways so I gathered me some new Cents And Sprouted from a Seed, Soon what you'll see on the news - Ents Really I just do this shit because it's fucking fun to me The way I Mix It Up, kid, you can't even Punch with me They always Boo The Pest so expect me to be Hungry 'Cause all I do is serve food - you're just another Lunch too me I've smoked Kush on a White Rhino with an Orange AK Picked Blueberries from bushes, when I spit I Spray Weight Spike you in the face - Pineapple Expression, then flame the Weed smoke I guess what I'm saying is sucker Braidz has been Dope I'll burn all you Leeches sentence Suckers to death pal Emptying Lead can get you stuck in my Pen's Cell These other MC's have all got it wrong They're talking bar for bar I'm talkin' song for song But [Hook: Braidz] They say that you're a nerd Braidz Ain't heard me in the first place I'd kick you to the curb mate you ain't hot... My bars be to superb hey And when I let my Words Play They do not hear this wordplay that I've got... [Verse: Braidz] Problems with my father 'cause Liam he stabbed at Revenge served cold I'mma sneak in ya' rat shack Find the fiend in a crack nap, smash his teeth in then hack, slash And leave his head North Of Middle East, in a Bag Dad But enough of that 'cause for now I only murder beats I realised I'm a Boss and that's why no one wants to work with me A chilled back dude who never wants to staunch But leave dog shit on my doorstep, I'll bring Dogs to yours It's taken time to travel people see my past fuck ups more In the present I'm small - I guess I'm tryna' come up short All my crew taking steps that I'm a few feet from But if you give the God A Miss then You Be Soft 'Cause it's a Far Cry you'll beat me... My bars hide their meanings, smart types can see this I'm pretty sure my whole life I'mma spit on a beat Or at least 'til my Dough Nuts like I pick it from a Cinnamon Tree [Hook: Braidz] They say that you're a nerd Braidz Ain't heard me in the first place I'd kick you to the curb mate you ain't hot... My bars be to superb hey And when I let my Words Play They do not hear this wordplay that I've got...

Crazy 02:52
Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-crazy-lyrics [Intro: Sampled "Vaas - FarCry 3"] Alright, Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? [Verse: Braidz] Ayo these last two years have been toy as fuck It seems my friend group's been destroyed by drugs Work Place asking if I want Employment, Plus I'm always fighting with my chick like I'm annoyed by love A few of my pets have died and Uni's getting stressful I've got no time to do any of my music 'cause my heads full Dad stabbed me, Left mum's, wishing death would hurry up 'Cause it feels like my day's are a Long Drag - Funny Car Nothing left inspiring so who would want to do rap's Before they even bump it crew's snap and say this dude's wack So I Forget, Sorry, now I'm chasing me a new Chance Even though I've done it for myself and not my few fans Feels like I got a few laps before hanging up the boot Straps Spat all my punches my tooth's cracked, I need new Caps But nothing has Fitted I'll Snapback get stuck in the system Time to make my Disc Blast like ya' cutting with Krillin But you say... [Hook: Sampled "Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One" & Braidz] You say I'm crazy (Yeah they say I'm Crazy) 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done (They don't think I know) But when you call me baby (Call me a baby) I know I'm not the only one (I'm not the only one, Nah) [Verse: Braidz] They say that death's scary, I feel living is more Shit, I don't even know I want to spit any more 'Cause to think I have it locked down is a criminal thought I fell the fuck off the noise I drop relates to pins on the floor And my head's so fucked it's like I'm never not in Crisis When my bomb blow's i'll be deadlier than ISIS Feel at home when I'm high - I put my tenancy in pipes, kid Who'd have thought as a youngin' I never would have liked it I'm a conjoined twin to weed if we're keeping it real I'm Spaced out - Living in the 60's on a trip with some Neil guy I'm real fried but if I quit I'll end up quitting myself But slowly it's crept up and given hits to my health Most nights I sit by myself and try to write But find that my mind has died so I light a pipe I've been writing generic tracks, but the rhyming isn't bad Just my mind is in a bag I think I finally understand Why they say... [Hook: Sampled "Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One" & Braidz] You say I'm crazy (Yeah they say I'm Crazy) 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done (They don't think I know) But when you call me baby (Call me a baby) I know I'm not the only one (I'm not the only one, Nah)

She'll Go 03:53
Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-shell-go-lyrics [Verse: Braidz] He wakes up, excited 'cause it's gig night He's rehearsed his ass off so his shit's tight One last run through in the mirror he stops, watches his eyes Spits fire and tells himself it's his time Clocks tocking, burns his set to a disc This I can relate too - He's never feeling better than this Every show he's been doing has been a step up for him Now it's a big support slot - He's ready for this So he gets on to spit, at first he's awkward as fuck Just running song to song not talking too much 'Til he see's her in her glorious form that she'd front Suddenly they're roaring his performance is awesome as fuck Soon as he gets off stage he starts talking to her Can't even stay for the main act - they're horny as fuck But in the morning she's chucking, they think the vodka had done it But there's a bun in the oven - He ain't got time for this woman... [Hook: Braidz] In the basement 'til dawn, slave 'til the morn', making his songs But he knows, That She'll Go If one day he don't make it she'll leave him on the pavement, standing with his heart breaking She'll Go And He knows... [Verse: Braidz] Now she's calling him dumb, she calls him a bum She can't see he believes in his glorious tongue Say's she ain't a gold digger? Whore is so dumb Said she'll leave if he don't make it, but it's all out of love? But the love that he has for his art will last Longer than any females he's ever fucked in past- Times 'cause these rhymes make him feel so super fly All he know's is his Fire Works - Like he nukes the sky But no shit this hoe bitch he's meant to grow with is so shit How can she say this when she met him at his own gig? Behind closed doors she just spits on his dreams Says she's gonna go if he don't give up his needs And so he's in the studio all day and all night There's no intimacy left any foreplay's in force-drive If the money don't come soon she's ready to go 'Cause she can't see the big picture just like everyone don't [Hook: Braidz] In the basement 'til dawn, slave 'til the morn', making his songs But he knows, That She'll Go If one day he don't make it she'll leave him on the pavement, standing with his heart breaking She'll Go And He knows... [Bridge: Braidz] So he never gave her more the direction that she headed was the door in a second she was gone No More.... Yeah She's gone... A few years have passed now he's better than before, suddenly he's blown up and everyone's in awe But she's not.... Yeah she's gone... [Verse: Braidz] If the relationship was hard the divorce is impossible Years wasted were pointless - Like Porn with a Prostitute At first she was to him what a Sauna's to a Locker Room And now he has to grace the court floor in a proper suit 'Cause her lawyers keep on putting up a fight man Looks like most of his money is gonna' end up as his wife's cash And he's a G, so you know he's always quite strapped Starts yelling at the end of the sentence - Like a Hype Man Judge tells him to "sit" - He doesn't like that Shit pops off he goes to grab his right 'gat Before anyone can react all they hear's a slight bang And suddenly before his eyes his life flashed And it rubs it in his face, like, "You like that?" He see's a happy life and his mind starts to cry, then He see's the guard pulls his gun, and he's gonna die fast First he realizes this whole time he just wanted his Wife back... [Alt. Hook: Braidz] Now he's laying on the floor, sprayed over the court, people praying that he's good But he's not... Yeah he's gone... Fan's saying he's a god, saying that it's fake and he is just playing along But oh no.... He's gone...

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-fire-souls-song-lyrics [Verse 1: Full Spectrum] I'm in my fire witch outfit, got my carthus curved great-sword Don't get cocky here you'll die quick, got dragons and giants we make war We take form like fire, that same fire spread to create worlds We hold the crown of the sunken, iron & ivory kings... (Uh) Hey, Catch me in the tower Or somewhere in the swamps where pyromancy devours I ain't no Shang Tsung but these Souls are so empowering I'm curse til I die and then I die again and I die again... (Huh, Yeah) Repeat the cycle and grind again Reach my height then I die again recycle and try again... And those who get it will get it Those who don't will regret never knowing what it's like in the Lion's Den I'm spitting fire breath, I'm throwing lightning spears The walls of the world are thing I'm invading yours at every chance I get My red eye orb is cracked, My great demon hammer smashed I fight Gwyn I circle him and then I parry that attack I am so Drangleic with my rap... I dragon ride and I dragon slay they can't weigh me down so I call them Seath the way they betraying their own kind In the blink of an eye for that old lie, either sunlight here or no light Where we wander around in the darkness forever cursed living that Soul life [Sample: "Dark Souls 1 Intro"] In the age of ancients the world was unformed Shrouded by fog... A land of grey crags, arch-trees & everlasting dragons But then there was Fire.... [Verse 2: Braidz] My meta Full Spec'd so now the battle is on Bowing from my tower I'd devour a god No Havel's Ring - But I'm carrying loads, son You get power from pots - Like an amateur stoner! Step into a Dark Soul backed by Demons Where the messages are Blood Born, rap's my meaning Snap at me and better Lag for Defense Or I'll watch you fade into Abyss - like Farron's Legion Prophet of hip hop, I eat gods like Aldritch do Yet to be a giant - with big walk like kid Yhorm I fight my own battles, but you'll always find me helping dudes No Dark Sword i Hit Box more than an Adult Acting Troupe Pledge a bitch the Fingers then I give her the Pale Tongue Got her calling me a Miracle it's touching like Braille, bruh Call that a Dark Root (Haha) - But now back to the topic My style? Blightown - Got rappers all stopping I'm, Patches if honest - Find me Kicking in the Trap Put my rhyme books on High Walls, 'cause shit is really Grand Diss me in a track you'll feel the flicker of the Ash We'll never hear from you again - Just like Gwynevere & Flann

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-raw-wit-it-lyrics [Hook: DJ Scratches] [Verse: Braidz] I strike a storm with it, Fuck it I'm Thor with it Got Light nang's I'm hype man - like what you need in your performances The flow's designed to open pry the closed in minds of small witted MC's ain't worth a buck-shot, I'm a forty-four with it With poor gimmicks, A moppery, I wipe the floor with it You should quit for the Record, Close the fucking DAW, snib it Believe me I'm raw with it... They say I'm behind in the race, it's 'cause I've got the bars that have you all finished! You've got your cords twisted, you're no power to me Surgically I murder beats, Get back on your lead I'm raw wit' it I turn cattle to beef, rabbits to fleece Take lamb from a sheep, ham from a pig, salmon from seas How you think you can Box-in Braidz when ya' Forms missing The need to feed these kids I was born with it Any verse from me is just a torn snippet That'll have me up in your mother's - Steeze Umbilical Cord with it! [Hook: DJ Scratches] [Verse: Dismay] I'm Raw wit' it, yeah I was born with the force to get it And leave em torn with the type to cause blunt force trauma with it I'm just a Raw giddy I get it on like a kid in the corn, I was born sickened I'm raw living like a bunch of tortured victims It goes right to the core shit is caused by them slaughter visions And they're all vivid... Take a trip through my mind you don't wanna' visit It's like a storm hit it! Yeah I'm raw wit' it, Can't be ignored or fixed its Just a haunted feeling I get and now you're all victims The result of all the weed and alcohol mixed with Withdrawal symptoms from the need to make them all distant I was born wit' it, Nah, Fuck that, I'm just Raw Wit' It When I bust back at their poor writtens I'm so raw, I could never get bored with this shit So raw that when I spit I wipe the floor with these kids [Hook: DJ Scratches] [Verse: Braidz & Dismay] B: I'm, uh, breaking bad because my Soul's missing Ever got so good at rapping you became bored with it? When your bars are like the makers of a lot of porn - Vivid I'mma let the big homie Dismay take the floor with it D: And I'mma cause panic in em 'til they all quitting Go to war with these stars like they're Darth Maul spitters, get it? Diz was born with the force in him And I ain't giving em Much Room but you can bet that they all Trippin B: Me and Diz saw your missus in porn with her deformed figure She ain't the Maybelline chick just 'cause she was 'born with it' D: Going in so raw just to cause friction Bitches falling victim to the monster like they all porn driven Shit I live it, This is the game of riders B: That's why the pen sticks to paper like a staple wire D: So me and Braidz came here to blaze and fire B: You'll find us riding on the breaks like an Asian driver Cause we...

F*ck It! 03:45
Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-fck-it-lyrics [Intro: Sample "Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap] Eminem: The first time I grabbed the mic, like in front of actual people that mattered, You know what I'm saying? Like at a club - I got Booed, I just remember that being so fucking traumatic and I think I went home like man, I... I quit [Verse: Braidz] I feel like I'm a ghost in a shell because I'm dead inside Never lie my brain's purpose only seem's to terrorize Me until I end my life, bet I cry but when I try I hit an invisible wall of death like a motherfucking metal mime I then rely on getting high it's the only thing that gets me by Rap don't do it no more once the Track's Done I wanna End The Line It feels like everything blows inside this fucking head of mine's And once that smoke clears, well I guess i've got that Never-Mind My troubled mind says it's hustle time need to get famous fast If I keep writing Double The Lines there'll be no Lane To Pass But my mental state is so distracting it breaks my heart Used to be happy now I'm putting on a fake facade Most day's I feel like a mean, hopeless fiend toking green Hoping these folks will see and notice me then open dreams Though the scenes focus seems scoping me and joking teens Think that they have broken B' but don't know they won't be noticed [Hook: Braidz] Now I'm trying not to give up But it just gets so hard 'Cause I ain't having luck in the scene Been feeling like I should say Fuck It and leave... I give this shit all of my heart And these guys just turn 'round and laugh Do I continue to please my fans and my passion? Because my mind's saying Fuck It too me... [Verse: Braidz] If a few years back I heard 60's song say to Live It Up I would have turned around and said "Yo, we don't give a fuck" See it's shit like that, all this little stuff That has this Full Keg Rapper still performing at these Mini Bars Told I would see more stumbles If I don't be more humble But I never took it in, told the scene all "fuck you!" 'Til I dropped my last tape - and nothing eventuated Even though my skills had increased tenfold as I demonstrated Now I see it was my attitude, Mr. Negative bashing dudes I lashed at the scene over my own problems - now that's the truth Now my dreams are likely bashed and bruised 'Cause now I get no chances because back then I was wack as too And they can't look past the past they say this "poofter" is ass They don't hear the similes that I put in my bars But this Villain Is Sick like i'm Crook In A Mask And I'mma always Kick It Hard like my Foot's In A Cast (But I'm....) [Hook: Braidz] Now I'm trying not to give up But it just gets so hard 'Cause I ain't having luck in the scene Been feeling like I should say Fuck It and leave... I give this shit all of my heart And these guys just turn 'round and laugh Do I continue to please my fans and my passion? Because my mind's saying Fuck It too me... [Verse: Braidz] Balled so hard now they're calling me a Nutcase Trolled so much now the scene's saying "Fuck Braidz" But It seems my hate train has slowly stopped upon a station, but In the back of my mind I feel that it's just down for maintenance Now I've started to repent there's dude's barking up my fence Who I used to have love for - Noticed nothing's ever said About me, When I'd ask for help, So suck your mother's tit Rub up on her clit, 'Cause Karma is a Motherfucking bitch Back when my name was Taboo like one of the Black Eyed Peys All these guys talked like "Braidz is wack" guys, please I could chat my teeth and come up with better lines than crack lined speed Thinking I'm a brash white teen, who's never bashed light geeks? In reality I just got over the street shit Puffing pipes inbetween spliffs, But knowing all these kids? They'll crack a joke to that bar, like "He got sick of them beefing" Congrats, you found a track that leaked that I never planned on releasing... [Hook: Braidz] Now I'm trying not to give up But it just gets so hard 'Cause I ain't having luck in the scene Been feeling like I should say Fuck It and leave... I give this shit all of my heart And these guys just turn 'round and laugh Do I continue to please my fans and my passion? Because my mind's saying Fuck It too me... [Outro: Sample "Eminem - "Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap] Eminem:...And then, you know maybe a couple weeks later, days later, hour later? Or whatever it was, I dunno I just, I got the urge like nah man I gotta get up, gotta do it again... Ice T: That's right, thank god...

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-paranoid-lyrics [Intro: Sampled] Sometimes we notice coincidences like, "Oh there were a couple of cars on the street" and we just move on and forget about it But for someone with Schizophrenia these experiences take on a vastly different kind of feeling You might notice there were 3 red cars on the street and instead of just forgetting about it you start thinking "Well why is there 3 red cars on the street, maybe it has something to do with me? Maybe these people are coming to harm me"... [Verse 1: Braidz] Sit in awe of the art and just listen As I'm pouring my heart through the system You see I'm so Paranoid I rarely get around In the last 3 years I've barely left the house Old friends like, "Come out man, let's drink some shots" I'm like "Nah man, I don't think I can take it off" Straight lying - 'cause I don't even have a job No house, no direction and over Twenty One Man, I just want my head to somehow work with me Starting to lose Patience like a run down surgery Struggling for a feed off some cents that I don't make Everyone say's the new centerlink laws sound like a joke ay But they've always called me a fuckin' joke too These wolves in sheep's clothing just go with the flow dude My aim's a career not a job but my tolerance has ran out So I'm putting everything into music I'm just hoping that i'll stand out [Chorus: Mista Hood] Part of me wants to be Part of me wants to see But part of me is all of me And all of me is Paranoid X2 [Verse 2: Braidz] Now I'm Paranoid about my chick's too, Mad because I wish dude I never would have gone where it began, see this shit's true My first love? She fucked me, I mean literally FUCKED me! Had a gang-bang with three dudes came home said she loved me That's the type of shit that leaves you mentally scarred That's the type of shit that you may never get past That's the type of shit that leads to Heroin, Shard Stepping in bars with Eccy's to pass 'round 'cause your dead in the heart Everyone asks why I'm like this - well there's the reason Thought I'd solve it leaving dudes with their heads all bleeding So I took a bat to the scene, and bashed up some teens But I ended up feeling more crap when I leaved Leaved? I mean left, like I did to that scumbag Saw black and lashed out but it just left me with cutbacks Now I forever watch the movements of any chick I'm with I'm constantly feeling played and just wanting to slit my wrist 'cause a-... [Chorus: Mista Hood] x2 [Verse 3: Braidz] My aim's to grace the stage in nations places you have never seen... So while you chase big dreams, I chase big memories I stay crafting these bars, always hoping that I'll make it 'Cause the only time I feel good is at shows or in the basement But, players are hating 'cause I came up on gay shit They can't accept the fact that now I'm making my name stick 'Til they go back on their word like I literally played it Wordplay for days you just didn't get what Braidz spits This version of success isn't what I envisioned it just makes stress Sick of these lame heads who just listen to what their mates said Tell me my song's shit before they even think to play it Blacklisted by my scene using the internet to make it... Then again that's probably in my head as well But doctor's give me med's, and they never help I know it's in my mind I know I need to get out more From this day forward I won't let this disease be my downfall! [Chorus: Mista Hood] x2

Dear Suicide 03:47
Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-dear-suicide-lyrics [Verse: Braidz] The other night I couldn't sleep, I was rested in my bed Saw some shit that made me think of everything I am It's been a long hard road - gotta get this off my chest 'Cause when I look in the mirror starting to see reflections of my dad I never would have fathomed that I'd grow to be this I used to be against this life - the 'Dro and Speed hits Guess it all started at 7, when I broke to pieces Got booted to Dad's joint, seen smoking, needles... Mum was 'gonna drown me that night in a dam I remember pulling over she was crying and mad That's a confession I never thought I'd write in my raps Then I had to go and live my life with my dad I was in a house with no rules, man it was so cool! First time I smoked weed - stole it out of his dope room I was 15 hitting speed with my folk too Acted Lower Class, then eventually - No School My apologies to all the kids who failed it too I'd sit and make a fool 'cause shit it made me cool But nobody would learn 'cause they were busy with me All they ever learnt is what a fucking dickhead I'd be Looking back now those were horrible moves, shit As a youngin' doctors said I'd be an Honor Roll Student I let that A.D.H.D better me, I faded out at seventeen And aimed for rep on every street with a mate who deck's amphetamine's Then paper found the pen it seems - I strayed from the Graff Always known to Beatbox, that changed into Rap Posted up on Forums while Developing Threads That's where I met a dude named Hop' who wasn't relevant then I started battling and made my way into the Aussie Scene Realized I sounded shit unrehearsed and not on a beat The first dude I flopped against's the first dude who fucked with me Shout's to Gen RhYme ain't gotta Ask we though we were sick like Allergy's Really in the shit like Felonies, I though I got my Bars Locked Started to craft songs that went fucking hard - Not Dropped New Years in '08 and they hated my tracks I used to be "the shit", now I take that shit back But it got me off the streets like a sewer flooding I never really held a job it felt like I was finally doing something I'd get hate from heaps of dudes above me Shaken, like that juice ain't bubbly Put myself in a Coupe, like I had a fucking Clue or something Acted like a living legend now I cannot mix with any- -Body in the scene I made a rookie move and hit a dead end Now a bunch of people want to kick my head in... Shit was 6 fucking years ago, Kid's forget it... But I had the nerve to shit talk brethren Cold burns - Like winters heavy All that talking big got me in lots of shit, Pathetic I'm forced to pave my own path from that intersection Now I've come to the realization Hip-Hop has turned me Schizophrenic I used to blame this disease formed in my head on the dope buds Guess I kept my friends close, and my enemy closer I don't even know why I'm letting you know but I had to get this all out or else my ending was over A few months back I wasn't handling this shit Ran away from home, cops found me standing on a bridge I was totally deluded, they dragged me off of it Perfect, they wanna lock me up again got C.A.T Teams on the kid And I just lied my way out of it - like I usually do The shit the doctors said? The only truth in the room! I've always tried to hurt myself there's bruises to prove But I never thought the worst would come from music I do I had the biggest of balls - for the neutered-est dude And it made the scene hate me, I'm a loser to you's! Made all the stupidest moves, ended up losing my crew Now my friend count ends out fewer than few Best mates all started beef I'm left to pick up the pieces I'm ready to say fuck it, throw this Jigsaw and leave it So there's not much in life that I'm living to be with Whenever I'm feeling down I just think of my Nieces I guess that I'm just feeling tired of this shit Whenever I go out I think people eyeing off the kid At least every day you live it's like you die a little bit I don't even know why my fans admire me, I'm sick... So don't cry a little bit if you hear I've splattered my brain I'll be doped up when I go because I'm out of the pain...

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-father-figurine-lyrics [Chorus: Sampling "Bea Miller - Young Blood"] But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare It's a nightmare.. When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare It's a nightmare... [Verse: Braidz] I was nearly two in my first memory I have of you I'd assume you'd had some booze and I was in the lounge-room you And mum were arguing I was watching Superman all casual Turned around you had her hair and up the stairs you dragged her through Don't remember what happened after that... Tay was born, suddenly you were gone, my memory fades - I'm nine or ten Mum remarried, we were meant to see you on the weekend Told her you'd need cash though or else we wouldn't see him When I moved in it was over though, the damage was done You'd leave us home alone - And always ran off for drugs My grandfather was a damn father more than my damned father was Overdosed, you never taught us what the number for the ambulance was And that happened two times You used to be so successful, 'til you found you a new line All the dangers you introduced to us, Strangers who introduced to us A brainless lame and draining version of what once was good 'til you'd do the stuff [Chorus: Sampling "Bea Miller - Young Blood"] But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare It's a nightmare.. When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare It's a nightmare... [Verse: Braidz] You used to be so cool, then I saw through the illusion And abusive booze-head, wish I could take my blood and bruise it Every last little bits of faith I had in you was stupid Hepatitis gonna catch you soon and you've just had a new kid At least this one won't have to carry the heat But if you ain't gone by the time he's grown you'll need a Great Barrier, Reef 'Cause daddy's a dredging oil splash who's bound to be burned Even his own blood wants to see him six feet down into Earth Every year mum would get me the new Pokemon, what's the shit he did? Get a new broken home where dope was grown, what a sick Christmas! I'm sick vicious 'cause the dimwitted shit he did Got to a point I grabbed a fucking 2x4 and took a fuckin' swing with it The only reason I hope you don't puff on the meth more? Is I wanna be the one who beats the drugs to your death cause So when you hear this drop dead, because your heart is really weak You were never a father figure, just a father figurine You fake fuck... [Chorus: Sampling "Bea Miller - Young Blood"] But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare It's a nightmare.. When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare It's a nightmare... But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare It's a nightmare.. When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare It's a nightmare...

Annotated @ http://genius.com/Braidz-mc-burying-you-alive-lyrics [Intro: Braidz] You thought this was over huh? (Nah cunt) You wanted me to rap about you cunt, fuck you Die cunt... [Verse: Braidz] Dear Dad, if that's still what you call yourself Sean You turned this nice kid into a warring hellspawn I hope you hear this and start pouring hailstorms Cold-hearted cunt, lucky you weren't torched and belt on Had plenty of offers to get you nabbed for what you did What kind of shit father stabs on their own kid All the jobs I did for you I could take your career Leave me untrained on site and take a break for ages for beer Only to never pay me for the job that I'd do One day you're getting ran through and I'm robbing from you Mocking this dude, you're nothing but a horrible human The day I left you probably got someone to move in I was shocked at the news that you were having a son Thought maybe you wouldn't damage this one but you addicts are fucked Who puts habits in-front of another life? Scummy types So consider this your cut-back from that exact same bloody knife [Hook: Braidz] I'm sick of all this hurt you've caused me I hope the next time that you search this song sits At the top of the page, I'm fucked up this way That I am now - 'cause all the dirt I saw digged You think you're so cool but it's a terrible disguise Wish you were not there for my whole life Kill yourself, Drunk on Heroin one night Until then - Consider this as me Burying You Alive [Verse: Braidz] (And to think) I didn't want you to be, my brother 'Cause your fucked up parents and I don't speak, my brother Come to find you're born addicted to the Speed, my brother- A weed high lover from a fiend-type mother If you don't make it I'mma fuck everything between my brother See my disease motherfuckers, rip out spleens, my brother If you live - I'll be your Great Barrier, Reef, My Brother These fucked up addicts are never gonna' see my brother So, Fuck you... And fuck you from each one of your sons too Word to Seth If he dies, I'mma murder them, put teeth right on ya swirling steps Set fire to her dirty dreads, end lives 'cause I'm hurt to death I'm fucking sick of these junkies, throwing shit on these monkey's If I ever see my Dad again I'm hitting the fuckwit Any kids between you should have stayed in her Syphillis undies But you fucked up so now we gon' take this kid from you bum pricks [Hook: Braidz] I'm sick of all this hurt you've caused me I hope the next time that you search this song sits At the top of the page, I'm fucked up this way That I am now - 'cause all the dirt I saw digged You think you're so cool but it's a terrible disguise Wish you were not there for my whole life Kill yourself, Drunk on Heroin one night Until then - Consider this as me Burying You Alive [Verse: Braidz] You wanna talk about heart-broken? Let's remember the past, open it I was seven you parked openly At some shifty ass playground on Springvale Road Injected your syringe of dope Passed out and almost died and we didn't even know! We were kids, we shown and didn't know how dangerous it was Thought you were asleep so we played and ran off 'Til a stranger came across you, deranged and in alot of puke So we got left behind when the ambulance came and got you! One day I found bud - told me it was herbs for cooking Told me to not go into the shower downstairs - Never had the nerve to look in It's ironic now, 'cause those herbs have cooked me If I were to speak to your pride? I'd say "You heard me pussy" That's a Lion joke, it's funny 'cause you're a lying joke Told me I sucked at smoking weed but I could always get higher though You probably can't remember but I was born in the 90's bro Wanna punch on? It's different now, because of Ice and dope - knives are shown But you know that, don't you? Went to stab at my chick I stood up grabbed the scissors straight slashing my grip Had to get stitches - Can't really use my hand anymore well But it's still fuckin' strong enough to jab at ya' jaw pal! [Hook: Braidz] I'm sick of all this hurt you've caused me I hope the next time that you search this song sits At the top of the page, I'm fucked up this way That I am now - 'cause all the dirt I saw digged You think you're so cool but it's a terrible disguise Wish you were not there for my whole life Kill yourself, Drunk on Heroin one night Until then - Consider this as me Burying You Alive

Would diminish my intellectual harvest And at the same time, it will motivate my (?) grind to go break stuff And my willpower's a Limp Bizkit if I happen to Blaze up... So I understand if you don't understand why I wake up And roll a blunt using the pages of your newspaper Sydney Morning Herald, SMH, Shaking My Head Guess I'll stay right here puffing on my favourite Strain yeah, that's ghost train haze baby All in all man I like my life because I'm [Chorus: Sampled] Smoked out, Choked Up, if you want the cheeba Gettin' high on that reefer, Gettin' high on that reefer Smoked out, Choked Up, if you want the cheeba Gettin' high on that reefer, Gettin' high on that reefer I'm Smoking hella' potent homie this is what I'm saying I ain't never changing my plans, either way I'm staying Smoked out, Choked Up, if you want the cheeba Gettin' high on that reefer, Gettin' high on that reefer [Bridge: Romeo, The Regretful] Cannabis is not to blame for the issues that people get with it Treat it with moderation and learn to keep use steady-ish It can make you fly to the greatest height that's when it hits Or it can make you penniless if you use it to fill your emptiness Like, Oh god....

Listen in You have never heard of me that really is absurd too me 'Cause certainly my rhymes and beats are 'gonna 'cause a murder scene They're chopping heads off perfectly, it leaves 'em in the dirt it seems That every thing I ever speak or write is making history Kicking goals, anybody got the mark?

It's ironic I'm Dis-Abled when you ain't This Able as bruz I'm labelled a cunt - like pussy tatts, for pushing facts This scene used to be hard 'til rookies crashed with sooky crap And now everyone's politically correct Fronting used to be taboo now they ain't really thinking what they've said... [Hook: Sampled] (?), On my mind, On my mind, On my mind (?), On my mind, On my mind, On my mind [Verse: Braidz] And I don't get this new wave of dude hating, news making feminists Protest that shit to me you'll catch a boot off my premises I hope this ain't taken as me preaching misogyny Just honestly bothers me 'cause I believe in true equality It's about supremacy now, you won so get lost All this Bleeding Out The Gash is just a Cut Full Of Salt And you can beg my pardon if wrong They spend less time for charges they've got I guess that's why they thought to start an Assault While I just sit back laughing at America's gun law's If you ain't stepping to your government, the fuck you need guns for? That amendment you're defending is there for your protection Should they ever be getting hectic in the future times - like the present You should know by now that I speak what I feel Would you rather me be fake or stay keeping it real I guess the more that the screws loose, the deeper the drill In this field there's a heap but still not heaps in my field A real artist...
