Life For Me 04:33

[Hook] VD is the life for me Not tryna be what I see on TV VD is the life for me Not Malay, Indian or Chinese Cuz I'm color void Uh I'm color void Cuz I'm color void I'm color void [Verse 1] From Tampines I rose Memories I hold close to me At NTUC for groceries That's Fairprice, no matter what you call it We see the same things That's what makes us Singaporean So I begin Pointing out the similarities between myself and the man standing right next to me Without mentioning race or religion Regardless of what it is Happiness is what we chasing Oppression is what we hating I'll say it here and now Fuck racial harmony We need national unity Against the real threat, Instead of yellow brown or black Everybody's colorvoid Rep the fuckin the void deck Don't mistake it for juz another marketing gimmick Want respect swear to death that I'm coming to get it Working for the voice to influence the choice of the next generation to make some fuckin noise [Hook] [Verse 2]  Not the best Chinese rapper cuz I'm just the best They label my hard work, clockwork and I'm racing hands This life is 25/8, to me you can't relate cuz I don't let a YouTube comment get to my head And I know you been waiting for me to speed this up It's Q on 9s beats, shining like a star, 5 ain't enough Mainstream as aunties squeezing on MRTs as underground as the same things coming 2017 And I'm still living life VD Culture you'll never take from me Bout to just fucking blow up and show up on your TV screen Living proof that you can chase your dreams Cuz being too practical's like never swimming when you're at the sea Tough out the rough waves defeat makes you salt-taste but spit out your rhymes and stay biding your time They doubting you? Make em pay The time is now, todays the day Not asking anymore Drown em all, with the fucking wave [Hook] [Verse 3] They say I'm hungry Damn right I'm hungry Worked too damn hard to be always tryna speak humbly Walked too damn far to be turning around and running From the critics saying I should quit cuz they never did it All the sacrifices and stress No disguise, I'm on a quest To write the stories told Decades on when I get old See, changing an entire culture's not a one man show Understand it takes time to execute a well-planned goal An army of Malays behind me And I call em bros Race is not an issue when within you lies soul So widen up your vision like crows fed by uncles at windows The path we're heading down seems narrow Uh The time's up to make a stand Instead of each other fight them Those who try to divide Only cause us to multiply Peep game when you listen See the cracks in a broken system Picking up the pieces right now and I'm screaming out [Hook]

[Hook] No money wanna swag swag at where No money wanna wear what brand leh? No money wear bling bling for what No money then don't talk so much [Verse 1] Stay in your lane, stay in your lane You should dress modestly and not be ashamed if that's all your parents got then make sure you gain Not wealth of pocket but more of the brainInstead of material things buy imperial dreams feed your mind in time you'll find yourself a king without all the bling and the dress up games Those who really got made don't wanna show off, maaaayne [Hook] [Verse 2] Shoutout to everybody on their hustle Whether lifting or pushing, arranging building up their muscle Chasing the plastic tho everything that shine ain't gold the struggle is drastic We spend it all on shoes and clothes (What for? Is it to look cool for hoes?) Nope, the scene is full of groupies, 12 year-olds (Then what do you do with it, other than dress well?) I guess we need to look cool in order to promote ourselvesI wish it were simpler Messy hair, shorts and singlet I'm a stylish motherfucker but these price tags are ridiculous I got nothing to brag about Still living, eating in my parents house  How soon till my dreams come true? Condo and a small car too Those are some cartoons All up on instagram 'Look at me I'm wearing this, I'm wearing that' God damn Don't live your whole life, enslaved to brands You'll live and die, but the money keeps coming in for them [Hook]

[Verse 1] We might be right girl We might be wrong The similarity is we both inspired this song This complicated affair leads to hair pulling off my own head You lying next to me in bed And I'm sitting here juz wondering about the ship it seems I'm plundering This heart that beats is vacant Panic, Titanic wasting our time running around in circles Yet with every round we fight, girl It seems the more I hurt you Uh I mean... [Hook] I might not be the right one and It might not be the right time But we We might just make it work And we We might just make it through the hurt [Verse 2] Started off simple Everyday you'd say I miss you Try to find a way to fit you inside of a busy schedule Every girl I been with Every situation I been thru The player had to retire Cuz I ain't met no one like you 'Man I'm so different' what they say Fell for the old trick anyway Infatuated, I was motivated to be committed, and stay sedated from the pain, that came in time, we changed You and my heart Cuz we all grow some closer, and some apart But it's so hard to let it go memories down every road What's worse is that it's Singapore At least 10 mutual friends for sure So I just cannot escape try to get away From the pain So embrace both the love and the hate, babe [Hook] [Bridge] Look what we've done to the dreams that could've come true Everytime we both start to scream it's me and not you I'm so sick and tired yet still I keep trying In the war of love not you or me, 'We' dying [Verse 3] Uh, fuck that I got no time to be quarrelling and bitching back and forth and of course it's always gotta be my fault I mean I juz don't understand I told you all my grand plans But instead of helping me build You wrecking with it your bare hands It was simple, we got tangled earphones in pocket holes Made a bigger mess the harder we tried, and this is no lie, I find A spot for you in my heart I'll always keep Long as the grave we both dug ain't too deep [Hook]

[Hook] Stars are falling The night sky is calling You had your chance But the wait begins For another day [Verse 1] Whats up with you bro? "Aint nothing much" Life's a rush, been a minute Since we been in touch And everyday tryna Find new ways to illustrate With wordplay, At times a stroke of paint At times a messy spray But hey Enough about me What about my old homie? Talented tho your strength is not the academics An epidemic, they told you in school that you were stupid But no one saw the skills in your doodles when you drew it Eventually you dropped out, financial woes Lack of passion for the life for you Your parents chose Working 2 shifts tryna make ends meet Contribute to Darlene's school fees Life's taking its toll Our childhood all but over Cant even create the way you supposed to Cant help but grieve the death of your artistic dreams on wax [Hook] [Verse 2] You couldve been here with me Such a pity Came in the scene same time Tried but really We both had issues OTW to the top  Hope you know this aint a diss To the way that you dropped The rap life that we led Full of driven and wet You let your dick do the thinking and It got you misled Now, what could I say To the young homie? Just a kid, Cant critique the way that you play So i stepped aside like a ladder And you stepped like a child Reduced to only calling you Once in awhile Fell right up out the game Pussy got you insane Extravagant Dates at Marina Bay Sands Feeling Romeo not knowing How the story really ends And without ambition You just a shell of a man Yelled in it god damn No sound, just sand Hope one day you get your fire back With this candle wax [Verse 3] To the past me Tell me about the Kids Tell me about the jealousy that tore us to bits or was it the insecurity in the minds of the leaders Came from solo mid lane to a feeder To reach ya Went back in time to write this poem A solemn confession about All the fears that came true and Q your girl gave up putting up with you left the dreamer found herself an achiever the reaper gave no warning as he took your soul Rust from gold Dusty cold Speech Soon I would know to practice what I preach [Hook] (x2)
