‘Introspections’ is a track that addresses many themes that play upon Tykoon’s mind. The first verse addresses his religious scepticism, death and the ‘paper chase’, the second verse addressing his want to be successful, and the third addressing the struggles he feels with ones that he loves.
(Hook: Timberland)
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
CREAM, get the (x6)
Mo-money dollar dollar bills, yo (x2)
[Verse 1]
Yo, If cash rule everything around me, is it ironic that I'm a Tykoon?
Coz in my view, there's only a halfed $ in their eyes
Momma told me that deaths really a blessin in disguise
Coming ta terms with my mortality, Its a tragity
We all gotta face. The end results a casualty
So casually, while alive, do my best I gotta strive to
Earn my stripes, so in my mind, They'll be positive light
But how I hear the good news, if the media's full of lies?
How can you claim that I'm blind, if nature's given me eyes?
To be honest. religion? I'm completely off it
How can I worship a prophet, when they're only there to make a profit?
No disrespect, its really my opinion
But if god exists, I'm sure he wouldn't want me livin in fear as a minion
And why would he make us question of its worth living?
Why would there be pedo rings , rape and mur der ing?
God if ya there, why u let me question your existence?
I'm a good kid, why don't u shine you light down, bless me with your presence?
But I'd be waiting for that present, after the present's present
It be the past, and I'm past the past coz you know it's passed
[Hook x 2]
[Verse 2]
And Opportunity anit a thing, Coz I only see revolving doors
That never shut like 24 hr clothing stores
Fashion metaphors, tryna get my point across
Real magic don't happen, Life ain't no fucken Santa clause
A little uproarious, but good fucken luck tryna ignore us
Your girl hug my cock, coz its enormous
But we all know that's bull like a Taurus
I live in sea ford, but only ever seem to see forward
Sea fed dreams that are opened up to me like a fjord
In my life I feel I'll go tits out, Total recall
Coz time is limited, once your times called, it can't be recaught
Oh shit, got a few bars left
Should I go easy or dark like a fucken car theft?
That was steezy, that was racist tyke!
But that's what happens, when the media raise us, right?
[Hook x 1]
[Verse 3]
I'm gettin dark vibes and I'm finding it harder to fight
Up late @ night crying coz inside it just doesn't sit right
I try my best with the opposite sex, but to honest its grueling
Women only ever seem crush you with kindness or cruelty
Getting stoned like mosonic, Sick of feeling moronic
Sick of these bitches, Talking sexual, platonic
Drinking gin n tonic, As a tonic, my life is toxic
No spears but its spears through my heart, guess that shits ironic
I wanna be iconic, Bob Marley once said
Find the ones suffering for
So I gotta look at myself and ask what am I suffering for?
But fuck that, pick yourself from the muddy floor and dust yourself off
Sounds clichéd but there be better days in front of you bruzz
They got love for you bruzz, But they just never show it
Call it love from afar, and Your a rising star
So when you get to the summit, you have ones claiming that there the ones who's been
There for you always b ut only you know the ones who are true
And those who are all fake
Send em in liquidation if they're acting like salt lakes
Or tell em to fuckin brush up before you clean em up like Colgate
