letra de namesake - kayes mensah

truth of the matter is i hate and i love this
didn’t wanna do it, when i do it
i’ve gotta do it justice
lost passion, veins became bloodless
remained grounded and retained substance
took a step back and gave it some judgement
thought i was stuck where i didn’t wanna be
i imagined things differently
i had to adjust them
morals guide me, so respect my compass
like to think that i try my best, but if i can’t make that work
an injustice
a disservice
dereliction of duty
bottom line if i don’t rеach my potential it’s a d-mn shame
but in all honesty i’m thе one at fault, and only have myself to blame
built a life that one can sustain
through passion and love
give a f-ck about fame
but remember the name that’s mensah
command respect when i enter
straight to the point
come like everybody raps
couldn’t care for the noise
while you do it for the clout
this gave me a voice
it’s gone beyond choice it’s been my life
no regrets could’ve been that guy
lost count of all of those sleepless nights
but back in them days used to get so annoyed
there was no progress
never felt so devoid
so distant
bro i was socially distanced long before covid
coz like f-ck i avoid
no pain, no gain, no f-cks come like i took 10 opioids
f-ck all them opp boy trying to figure out the ploy
let’s go for a joyride without the joy
no pressure, i’m poised
let’s separate the men from the boys, 1 nil ting, i don’t drop points
lemme carry on teaching ’em
old school t like ferdy & iverson
old school guard like teddy & ledley
around the turn of the century
bruv i hated the ends, and back then it was deadly
kicking ball in the park wid a few other guys, and i
said something on a sly
two twos, i’m getting ducked down with a kitchen knife, was a young boy
still tucked in the memory among other things
enveloped in this pain and confusion
alongside that a bit of a suffering
so faith i found comfort in
served in church on a sunday
by monday, i’m harbouring sins
sunday come again, repent and repeat
to the lord i beseech
and the truth is i’ve always been a bit of a geek
liked to learn, had to learn a couple ways of the street though
couple man got in too deep
certain man held a bit of heat
live and learn, no mistakes to repeat, so
in a heated discussion
couldn’t call upon no older brothers or cousins
bruv i had to just done them, two-three up with the mandem
but more time i rolled out on my jack jones
so it goes
little kof’ had to grow a backbone
walked with my chest when i’m on a backroad
it could’ve been peak, but it was never that though
see your block wouldn’t touch that with bargepole
but your head back, hit that with a bargepole
yeah you can watch, but nah you can’t roll
fire and smoke, turn man into charcoal
oh, oh
menzz is it really that though is what you’re asking
but i couldn’t give a f-ck what you’re thinking
fitting in
brudda what the f-ck was i thinking
these fake dons, i can’t mix with,
can’t roll with a bro that don’t know himself
or still fronting for girls
was time to make a change, how long can a snowball last in h-ll
my mental health, yeah i’ve sought help every year
year on year for the last 8 sutten years
i developed new fears
more panic and tears
couldn’t see through coming like living room sheers
and for each one i conquered
it weren’t often
i found drive, had to lift it up a couple gears
blood sweat and tears
over-advanced
have to enter upper tiers
i’ll punch out your t–th, then buy you vinnears
so selfless
it’s a little bit savage, but selfless
felt helpless, always had hope to help me cope
no hook no rope, climbing steeper slopes
can you relate
well, maybe not but at least you know, i still
move that real, on a half price deal
offer ends tuesday, come redeem your code
man of integrity
but the game lacks class
it’s like everyone’s dargs but they all lack pedigree
no ties, no lineage
while i’m tryna leave legacy
time’s so impatient, our one common enemy
but the only evil that’s necessary
no matter who you are, it’s hereditary
life on this earth, it come like one tenancy
can’t make a meal with no recipe
so i just shoot on the spot like penalty same way i gotta take more risks
9-5 life can’t be the death of me
same way, it might as well be
it’s the only place where i’ve had consistency
but i do it for the long haul
few rocky shores, but i’m still on-board
now i’m done with the forlorn attitude
everyday praising the most high for my life for another day
whilst showing gratitude
when i could’ve been out shotting food
but i’m on a whole another latitude
to them protractor angles, you’re a dunce and a d-mn fool
if you think i’m gonna put myself around you
trailblaze my own lane, or avenue
just do it like ‘ye, trust me i’m bound to
if you want you can call it a promise
thoughts of a prophet
bruv i’ve been doing this before i even thought of a profit or views
more losses than dues
bruv i live life modest
living life modest
but the game’s so toxic
like every other day a soul’s sold for a profit
no morals or doctrine
whatever’s gonna line a man’s pockets or wallets
but i gotta admit it can get like that, and i get that
see your bag bro, better get that
don’t lose your way cah the way home’s far
too real for this
so f-ck it, i’m barred
