lyrics
Yo some people write songs so they don't feel regrets,
Me I write em so I can receive less threats,
Got one too many people telling me I’ll see some violence
If I do not hurry up and end this self-imposed silence
Saying having so few songs out that's pathetic,
What you trying to take the piss like you were a diuretic
With a flow so sweet you leave the beat a diabetic,
You should spend more time on hip hop a little less on Reddit,
That's right I said it, mad skills when I procrastinate,
Try to schedule time with me I guarantee that I’ll be late,
Just like Seth Sentry, man I just float away,
And wake up day dreaming bout 50 shades of Sasha Grey,
But hey, it could all be worse,
Cause I could still be me without the skill to write a verse,
So while you take a second, wrap your head around that,
I'ma call myself Beckon rap around these high hats.

Chorus
I’m on my way, I can’t slow now,
I’ma keep on going till the lights go down,
I’m keep on growing living in this town,
I’ma keep on flowing till I seize that crown,
I’ma keep on, living as an mc,
I’ma keep on, letting these thoughts run free,
I’ma keep on, being the best that I can be,
I’ma keep on, staying strong, just being me.
---
I mean let’s face facts, anytime I let my voice lace tracks,
I'ma leave that beat fresher than a spray of Ajax,
Relax homie, just enjoy the show,
Let me entertain you with my glorious flow,
I believe that you only ever reap what you sew,
So go ahead take me seed, spread it for me and help me grow,
Just don't tell my girl that I gave you my seed,
Cause that's the type of information that will end up bad for me,
But that's just how it has to be, a hard lesson to learn,
Like respect can't be bought it's something to earned,
So when it’s my turn, to get these verses off my chest,
I pledge to do my very best to make you proud of the west,
Cause I am ready for this, my hand reads pocket aces,
Delivered on the river to a sea of angry faces,
Wishing they could trade places but I couldn't give a fuck,
While i snatched up there chips yelling out pot luck.

Chorus
---
So while I look to the future here’s a nod to the past,
Here's to ST1, deadweight and Nightclass,
Empty bars, and the Colab jam band,
All my friends and fam who helped me recognise my wingspan,
Here's to Macshane for all that studio time,
So I could lock this down without having to worry bout those dollar signs,
Without you all this would never be complete,
And here's to empty, for this amazing beat.
