[Chorus]
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Please.
Hear me out,
Hear me out.
I've been thinking this is better for me.
I've been sitting in this same
Place.
Never gonna win the race.
Never gonna win the race.
[Road Superlative]
So what are you telling me bruv.
I just reloaded a box.
What are you on?
We're meant to be selling this stuff.
I got a hold of the lot.
Now you just wanna dip off.
And take care of yourself.
Oh you're making it as well?
Slip on road and take the L.
[Superlative]
Look,
It's not fair to be that way.
Yeah I wanna see us do well.
But not make it in a bad way.
I've been feeling all the bad states.
Mental issues see me lack weight.
So I guess I have to dip now.
Anybody want my spare plate?
[Poor Superlative]
Here fam.
I.
Heard you have to leave the game.
Can you save the plate for me.
Said you'd get a job,
See me through month.
I've got bills to my cheeks.
I've got issues of my own.
But the cycle never sleeps.
[Superlative]
No the cycle never ends,
You got bills to attend to.
But you'd rather sit inside,
Curl up and hide.
Cry when they get you.
[Road Superlative]
Bruv you wanna get some work?
I've got food you could take.
I've got I've got grams I've got eights.
You want weed, you want flake?
[Superlative]
You don't need that fam,
It's okay 'til things get real.
What if you,
Lose that, use that.
Who's gonna pay your bill?
Not me.
And this is why I wanna leave.
Cuz you mana are making movements
I'd never do no,
Time to release.
No no no no,
[Stoner Superlative]
Hahaha,
You man are so gassed.
Has anybody got a lighter?
Why do you wanna leave fam?
[Superlative]
Are you kidding?
Who let this kid in,
He can't kid him.
This mans blipped to death.
He loves chillin'.
Skill set fresh to death
But not driven.
[Road Superlative]
Still owe me for me ounce bro
SNM.
And the cookies from the weekend.
I got other shit to purchase.
Imma need it for the week ends.
[Stoner Superlative]
Woah, woah.
Fam it's not like that.
Honestly.
I'll give it you like what, Thursday?
Ask him.
He knows I can pay.
[Chorus]
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Please.
Hear me out,
Hear me out.
I've been thinking this is better for me.
I've been sitting in this same
Place.
Never gonna win the race.
Never gonna win the race.
[Poor Superlative]
What I need is a loan.
5k to be exact.
Then I write off all my debts
Goodbye to the setbacks.
Feel a weight off my shoulder.
I got lucky for today.
If the bailiffs sniff around.
You know Imma never pay
[Superlative]
It's that kinda thinking that got you here.
Look in your pockets there's nothing
and you're busy taking what's not even yours.
Like that's gonna settle score.
Like that's gonna even it out.
What's all the talking about.
Fix yourself up,
Get a real job.
Maybe come outside your house.
[Road Superlative]
I got dough for you fam.
You want 10s you want grands?
I've got all of it,
Never fall off it.
I'm the man, I'm the man.
You want cards you want banks?
I've got arms, I've got shanks.
Take your pick just know you owe me back.
Tell me brother what's the plan?
[Superlative]
You're all kinds of messed up.
Take from him
I don't suggest, no.
Financing never fine,
In times when lines of income don't exist bruv.
Leme paint a picture.
2 years passed
and you ain't got richer.
Lost every job that you had,
Now you're sat here with a spare plate
And a rizla.
[Stoner Superlative]
Rizla?
That's a good idea ya know.
You know what...
I'll roll.
Yo,
I've been thinkin' yeah.
There's like 24 hours in a day.
And if you can sleep for like 4.
Do you know how much time that is to chill?
That's mad.
[Chorus]
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Please.
Hear me out,
Hear me out.
I've been thinking this is better for me.
I've been sitting in this same
Place.
Never gonna win the race.
Never gonna win the race.
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Can I be excused
Please.

No Changes
03:05

[Chorus x2]
Stuck in my ways and they think I changed no.
Mention my name and they get the same old.
This is the way that I play the game though.
And nuttin will change, cuz I get the same love.
[Verse 1]
Now who the fucks recording me?
Put the cameras down
I'd like a moment to myself
Because it's time to spit my story G
I'm kinda clever don.
Impractical
But never wrong
And if they understand it
Then you notice that there's more to me
I'm over sensitive
Emotional
Competitive
Approachable
Consecutively repping as a roll zug
And overall
I bet they say I'm owed a bit more
When I get to hold the ball
Court is overlooked
When I throw
But I let 'em know the score
It's kinda peak what I'm saying because the message is true
If I ain't rolling on roads and I fit the stereotype
Then I get this weight on my shoulder
I'm thinking what should I do
It's kinda counterproductive
Look back on productions
And chuck a bit of street in the struggle
Some speedy percussion
I'm too lost
But if there's two damn lanes
I'mma quick swerve
This way
Remain
[Chorus x2]
Stuck in my ways and they think I changed no
Mention my name and they get the same old
This is the way that I play the game though
And nuttin will change, cuz I get the same love
[Verse 2]
Discomfort with this torsion
Operation waiting list
They pushed me back to April
Like my bits are not important
Now my finances are falling
44 every fortnight
With a 4, Oh Oh
when the time's right
I be like please lord lessen my stress
And hit the keyboard
Openly venting and slip the E Chord
It's like a TV
Repeat
suttin like a retweet
That's when I'm alerted
With a beep beep
Street fiend
Gotta break the cycle
Watch the dream be
I'm steady racing on that path get that green clean
What?
Ever heard of getting P from these streams
What?
Spotify and Apple, Pree the beats them locked
But still it's never enough
It's like they want to hear me talk bout
how I'm selling those drugs
And if I'm packing a burner
I'm earning got girls in my circle
Then I'm actually deserving
But swerving it cuz I'm just
[Chorus x2]
Stuck in my ways and they think I changed no
Mention my name and they get the same old
This is the way that I play the game though
And nuttin will change, cuz I get the same love
[Outro x4]
Grinding, don't trust the road
I said I'm grinding
Don't trust the road

Stereotypes

(Intro x2)
Grinding, don't trust the road
I said I'm grinding
Don't trust the road.
[Chorus]
I love these slow types
Suttin from the soul types
struggle from the home
But the home's got it's own vibe
Looking like it's on right
I might switch up the game and shower
Wisdom is what I speak as if this is my only hour
Slow types
Suttin from the soul types
struggle from the home
But the home's got it's own vibe
Looking like it's on right
I might switch up the game and shower
Picture me sitting differently, living like this ours
[Verse]
I could
Be fine dining
Wine and a white line on my side
Cuz my names shining
Ride with the dope type
And display all my faux diamonds
Hustle's openly greeted
Keeping 'em on the edge of their seats
Like I fit the streets
But my dream is so far similar
living large is perimeter based
And if you consider accomplishments
On a scale they can change.
Cuz that's an image in it's self
And if they're really feeling it
Then there's no limit to this wealth
My hustle went unnoticed
From the depths of my stoned
I constructed my own token
Parted ways with the jokes
And got in while the vibes open
Spinning the lines woven like
Wintery times
Chosen, I think this is my focus
My limit is sky broken
Lyrically I'm woke
And If live by road
The vision has spiralled
It's like a message to myself
And if they're really feeling me
Then I don't really need much else
[Chorus]
I love these slow types
Suttin from the soul types
struggle from the home
But the home's got it's own vibe
Looking like it's on right
I might switch up the game and shower
Wisdom is what I speak as if this is my only hour
Slow types
Suttin from the soul types
struggle from the home
But the home's got it's own vibe
Looking like it's on right
I might switch up the game and shower
Picture me sitting differently, living like this ours
(Outro x2)
Grinding, don't trust the road
I said I'm grinding
Don't trust the road.

Stop
Me if you think that you can take that pressure
Setting levels
Paper driven
And that's my only blessing.
Hope has risen
Shown the vision is but reality
With meaning and value
I spit this wisdom
Open to these steady bets
But risky ones will evidently
Get us where the pennies rest
Truth be told I'd spend when I get it
Watch those twenties step
Not because I'm senseless
But we never know how manys left
Days are numbered
Wonder Why
I Used say I wanted this
But now I'm older
Life has give me confidence
The complications a burden
But now I know what longing is
But now I know what longing is
Failure isn't an option
But making it is obvious
My sisters talented
Kinda lacks the drive but she's arrogant.
Brothers a genius, but his wisdom makes him arrogant
older sister I miss her, but similar she's arrogant
I guess it's thanks to Sharon
I'm no different, Look I'm arrogant
Approach
Me if you think this an accident
back on track of things
But my delivery is passionate
People laughed
When I said I would spit bout what is happening
But now they ask me how I get the visions
That I'm capturing
Live it like the balance on my side
when I get challenged
Now I'm open if it happens to be value to my status
Now it's overly apparent when I rap
They look embarrassed
Only facts I can recite
Because I actually live what happens
Ohhhh
This vibe I feel be motivating
No setbacks this time
I'm bout to show my Mom I've got this
I can do this life
That's why
I'm trying
I'm tryna get up no excuses
Trying to convince myself I can do this
Trying to show myself I'm in control
Trying to show you that I wanna go
I wanna go far away
I wanna make it today
I wanna stack up my pay
I wanna give to my Mom what she gave
Just to make sure we were safe

Dreamers

[CHORUS]
Hoping for a dream in the backseat
Running for your team shotting mad weed
This is what I deem to be average
Running with my team staying active
These days I've been feeling free from the actors
Puffin on that green for the madness
This is not a scene for the boys
This is for team and the famdem
Look
[VERSE]
As I grow
Started to flow sicker than 'em
My sounds iller, they starting to show bitterness
It's too deep
I'm too real they're too weak
We lose touch
They're too fake
Confused me
I might judge
But my judgement's usually right
Just not my time to get loud
There's plenty more time to get down
I've been up late
Penning my rhymes to send round
Any updates
Looking to blow the past
Cuz I've been fucked mate
Looking for hope and that
And it's a luck game
That's what they told me, nah
I'm on the up mate
Nothing can hold me back
I've been on this path too long
Hunting for quick graft
Too wrong
Wonder where the piffs stacked
Zoots on
This man's too gone
Running from the stick like glue don's
Only way to win, I choose one
It's all better
We've never been named lesser
But that was aim
Blessings to every day
(Ah)
Attain regular
Effortless
Came peppered and settled the game
Left with nothing but change ups
I'm not cocky with it
I let my bars do the talking
Relax your arms, not a war ting
This is the part where walk in
Looking for mic check
If needs must get the aux in
I've got ravers in
Play the ting
Leme duppy every wave they bring
Spray the lingo
I made change within
Made riddims
Semi buggin on the haze
Cuz drink ain't my thing no
We got better with it
Came through the dirt with a grey shirt
Looking like we changed this weather
Cuz the pain hurt, but it never swayed this message
Fame lurks, but it's not same they're
[CHORUS]
[SPOKEN]
Hoping for a dream in the backseat
Running for your team shotting mad weed
This is what I deem to be average
Running with my team staying active
These days I've been feeling free from the actors
Puffin on that green for the madness
This is not a scene for the boys
This is for team and the famdem
[SUNG]

Mindy's Space

[Chorus]
I'll never go, I'll never go
I'll never go,
I'll, I'll never go
I'll never go, I'll never go
I'll never go,
I'll, I'll never go
I'll never go, I'll never go
I'll never go,
I'll, I'll never go to Mindy's space
[Verse]
Wonder why she hit me up
Said she got in touch because the vibes we have are similar
So naturally I give fuck, decide to map to it out
And let my actions do the talking got not time to mess about
But then she changed the way she spoke
Not the same approach
Talking bout she doesn't want to shadow my shine
She wants her name alone
And even if we work then it might change the way they play her songs
I'm reasoning, but still she just remained the same, I'm blazing on
I started questioning the process
mentally, she venting tell me that they don't notice
Said she's been on radio but still she ain't focus
Living in the shadows of an artist with the vocals
I said rahtid, what you smoking
This negativity never seems to be what they open
Cuz if you don't believe in your dream they won't get involved
And I can put it on my speakers and keys that I've got a motive
And if you need to see that it's real then door is open
And now we sitting on the fence, it's
getting tense
conflict risen
Mindy giving me excuses like I give a fuck
Past the point of giving one
Pass the joint I'm giving up
Getting deeper talking bout her past and how they did her wrong
But I just wanna make song
Then she told me I got easy because my darker tone
I lost my shit, your partner is equal, we had to ride alone
Don't base it on my colour, the reason is cuz my vibes are strong
I could leave it there, but I swear she chimed on
She said I'm lucky, the way that I spray is liked
Don't, forget I used to spray look at me now
And look at me now, I've been getting looks, I want luxury now my minds on
I got my vision, my team and we rep the vibes strong
Don't say it's easy, you're negative
Mind, you're minds wrong
And your excuses repetitive
minimized, gone
You'll never see me on features
I guess your times gone
[Chorus x2]
I'll never go, I'll never go
I'll never go,
I'll, I'll never go
I'll never go, I'll never go
I'll never go,
I'll, I'll never go
I'll never go, I'll never go
I'll never go,
I'll, I'll never go to Mindy's space

Our Vibe
01:56

[Chorus x2]
Let's get fucked up
Keep your eyes shut
This is our vibe
Let your mind run
Let the hit ride
Take the hides off
Don't be shy just
Keep them legs up
Let the meds drop
Feel the bed rock
[Verse]
I don't usually do this
Dim the lights down
Don't play stupid
Musta have me misconstrued
Need to get those thoughts computed
Cuz when I enter the rave I'm solo
Leave with a bitch, no new shit
And when I come to your ends there's no beef
Everybody love this movement
I'm known to buss all the laughs
I talk the part
but some times over gas
You sport the brands
But don't show love for acts
and when we blow they come back, that's a fact
It's like please
@ me again, chat me again
When we gonna gonna link
online
Right now, you need to pipe down
Hit up right crowd
Don't waste my god damn time
Right now I've got the motion
My bars precocious
I make the beats at mine
If we need to meet that's fine
Leave out the beef go grime
Switch up the heat, just vibe
I've got the leng in mind
Compared to you I shine
Whip up the spliff don't pass that
I keep my gram, no hash tags
I need to smoke what's mine
[Chorus]
Let's get fucked up
Keep your eyes shut
This is our vibe
Let your mind run
Let the hit ride
Take the hides off
Don't be shy just
Keep them legs up
Let the meds drop
Feel the bed rock
Let's get fucked up
Keep your eyes shut
This is our vibe
Let your mind run
Let the hit ride
Take the hides off
Don't be shy just
Keep them legs up
Let the meds drop

complexity of modern trap-inspired
beats but never fell out of love with that golden-age hip-hop production style, then you’ve
been missing out on Superlative. His raw, eager flow and relatable bars create an aura of
humility and honesty around his outputs.
