Love Honesty & Discipline

Let the bass do the talking, yeah this is real soul, so let’s go

VERSE 1
Check it, it’s fantastic, I’m back on the mic to speak my piece
These words that ya never done heard to be unleashed
I’m done with it sick fed up of all these lies man
A young bre repping the streets the ghetto Wiseman
I’m fabulous, got no time for negativity
Or stress other people contain and wanna give to me
They parasites soaking my love, they wanna live off me
But listened to the words of my Uncle Jamaica, Tivoli
He told me, son stick tight to all your family
Work hard manually, build up that money annually
Remember those who ran with me, so when I reach my peak, You’ll see Stixx and Parris cos they began with me and Marie, I had to learn my life the hard way, had both my parents but the two of them starved me of an easy life they couldn’t give me everything, but it taught me bout love, honesty and discipline

CHORUS
You need that Love, honesty and that discipline
And with these three elements you’ll be sure to win
If you don’t hear what I’m saying I’ll say again
You need that love, honesty and that discipline
That discipline like getting up at five in the morning
That love affection, passion, adoring
And that honesty, integrity is something important
So take this as a warning to stop you from falling

VERSE 2
Since my teens yo I tried to make my cash bloom
Stole stationary used to sell it in the classroom
Worked for three local taxi firms, delivering cards
So from young I learned how to earn
Used to go to the clothing stores and take
Two pairs of Jeans into the changing rooms but when I left the shop floors
I still had a pair on under my sweatpants
Removed security tags so I could get cash
And I ain't proud of these deeds I know
That the seeds I sow could hardly grow for me
Cos when you take from the word the world takes back double, That’s why some get deeper in the hustle. I did a lot worse that could of got me into trouble But put myself in music cos it made me more humble In the scheme yo it taught me many things
That I carry with this love, honesty and discipline yo

CHORUS

VERSE 3
I know a lot of people but I’m close to very few
Cos very many only want what they can take from you (ha)
They never walk with the fear of God
They always walk with this cool façade
Projecting love when they heart is hard
They spit stones when they speak
They whisper words of love but underneath
They shout words of hate they shout words
But they words just flake, I see through it
Cos they words is cake, they words is…
Sugar coated with Cherries on top, they words is…
Nothing for me I’ll never give up, they words is…
Poisonous, venomous so steer clear of that
And never fall into that venomous trap
Of being taking too easy, they say kindness is
Your weakness so believe me don’t take these words lightly
Or you might be unlikely to ever win
So carry love, honesty and that discipline

CHORUS
