Think 03:57
Think! - Written & Performed By Kudzai For Parvenu Digital Ltd Verse One I can hardly look myself in the mirror, Help! I’m a shadow of my former self, whom I shelved Without thinking through the consequences And now I write bars for Benzes, Moncler shoes and Audis It’s hard to get me rowdy at most my mind is cloudy Ideas come from left and right I’ve learned I’m at best at night I picture me with peace, abundance comes with ease We live good and now my mum no longer has to lease The pennies keep piling, the creditors are smiling Tax rebates are the only things we’re filing We’ve been through hell but you can hardly tell On my last leg I was cashing in my world I ‘d sell it to the devil I used to be trouble Then life broke me down and left me pretty fucking humble I’ve come a long way and now I’ve finally made it here I swore on nan’s grave that I’m breaking out this year Hook X2 I don’t ever want to step from this path that I’m treading on Living good is the only thing that I’m ready for When I was young my father taught stand your ground like you ought to son Through hard times don’t you ever let yourself think you ought to run Verse Two I could throw in the towel and walk away To live the easy life sponging off your pay And when they ask me what happened I’ll say I tried Shit I couldn’t lie I’m a stand up kind of guy I’m a bit too righteous for my own good But I’d keep every last damn thing I’ve gone through Who’s to say what’s the meaning of our tribulations Through all the time that we’ve been waiting we’ve grown impatient And I know there’s no limit to my spirit So I don’t fret against change and trending gimmicks The love of my life is at my front door My mind could never understand so this is what my heart’s for And when its all set and done we’ll leave the past behind Debunking every myth that happiness is hard to find It took a long flight, my mother came a long way My brother’s had a long fight, my sister’s had a long day Bridge True to what I know, true to what I know I’m true to what I know, true to what I know True to what I know, true to what I know I’m true to what I know, true to what I know Hook X2 I don’t ever want to step from this path that I’m treading on Living good is the only thing that I’m ready for When I was young my father taught stand your ground like you ought to son Through hard times don’t you ever let yourself think you ought to run

Additives 03:15
Kudzai - Additives Version 1 Take your meds keep quiet we don’t need you causing riots Keep your mouth zipped up and realise you’re not a griot Big pharma, churning out some more young Dahmers They like office workers, stock brokers and farmers They like obedience, just do as you’re told You’re only fighting for your life, but they’re fighting for a hold A grip on a greater cause, so long as they don’t take a loss On all those finances how do you think that they’re to face their boss Tomorrow they’re getting grief beef and sorrow So tell them if you have a few tears that they can borrow Thinking off the families whose pain they’ve failed to remedy Instead they’ve only messy’d up their lives much like Kennedy Brains splattered and served it up on a platter We’ve been waiting for that moment when they’d tell us that we mattered Our lives in a handful, one man decides our fate They lock us down with the same funds that you provide the state Hook I heard that you were skipping your meds Thinking out loud growing out your dreds Son won’t listen to an old man words On a man’s words I think we need to take a step back It’s going to take a while just to get you on track And if you stuck, we’ve got your back We’ve got your back Verses 2 In this world of injustices there’s only one loser Now they’re using Jamie Oliver to and try tax sugar Since when did money solve problem How many wars in the recent past have we forgotten How many times do we need to run the same motion There’s a much a bigger world out there that’s wide open That’s why I keep from ever giving up and stay hoping Hoping to get in touch with a greater world just like the Hopi Back in the day I was brush, young and pretty cocky But now I fight for the right of everyone that ever fought me In my mind’s eye we’re moving on like nation I stay calm a far cry from when I’d lose my patience Because I know that my expansion as soul’s at stake I’m picking up momentum never shall I push the brakes So big Pharma pull out your best medicine There’s more bounty on your arse than foreign venison Hook I heard that you were skipping your meds Thinking out loud growing out your dreds Son won’t listen to an old man words On a man’s words I think we need to take a step back It’s going to take a while just to get you on track And if you stuck, we’ve got your back We’ve got your back Written & Performed by Kudzai For Parvenu Digital Ltd

Liquorice 03:17
Liquorice Written By Kudzai A. Chisango for Parvenu Digital Ltd Verse 1 I closed my eyes and awoke to a nightmare My God what a tragedy I thought mirages didn’t happen in reality I had plans until life went sour We started off brave but now we cower Putting on smiles on for some tea time banter I couldn’t face without seeing the glass shutter And I’m half decent looking dude I’ve been known to get ladies in the mood But still it doesn’t take away from all my bruises I push the red button and I hope that nuke cruises And doesn’t cause too much damage Even if it does somehow we’ll still manage The things that I’d do to relive my childhood The truth leaves my belly grumbling like foul food I get riled up while things are getting piled up Flick the switch and see me coming at you like a vile thug Hook Black like liquorice, sweet like sugar The situation is getting messy like kruger Everybody has a few thoughts to offer But when it goes South is when they never ever bother Black like liquorice, sweet like sugar The situation is getting messy like kruger Everybody has a few words to spare As the odds pile against us they couldn’t care Verse 2 I closed my eyes in the hope that I dreaming I’m 26 now and still scheming Fended off my demons, I’m facing down a known situation We’re counting down time and I’m losing all my patience Just living in my mind until I make it to that haven I need that boom bap, my alternative to raving I step up the ladder then get pushed back down I haven’t built a vision just to lose it all now Running around like a headless chicken aimlessly But never one to quit I’ll give these people what they came to see Nothing is given I strive to stay driven Even if I lose it all my heart is still smitten I took seat back as the years passed by Clueless youngins asking who’s that guy Let me say it once mate they call me Kudzai Rub me off the wrong way I’ll send your wisdom teeth flying Bridge Black like liquorice sweet like sugar Black like liquorice sweet like sugar Black like liquorice sweet like sugar Black like liquorice sweet like sugar Hook Black like liquorice, sweet like sugar The situation is getting messy like krueger Everybody has a few thoughts to offer But when it goes South is when they never ever bother Black like liquorice, sweet like sugar The situation is getting messy like kruger Everybody has a few words to spare As the odds pile against us they couldn’t care

Sleep 02:08
Sleep You need to get some sleep Forget about this mess Tomorrow is brighter day I hope that you don’t lose your way Follow the path that your heart is painting you Like a yellow brick road but pray the wicked never saw you Let peace be your guiding light I wonder what you’ll find tonight When you fall into slumber In this fairly warm summer The kick’s heavy a stallion’s hind legs Since I never choke there’s no need for that Heimlich Maneuver through life like a rat in a cage And God’s the man in white lab coat In the context at hand what’s the point of being G.O.A.T The same way you came you’re going to die alone I know in real life it’s not the same as that night flick But you could loosen up and do away with that tight lip You stare for too long in my direction I might flip I’m never ready me I tend I shoot from my right hip Comfort is luxury afforded to the selfish In my being stone-broke I start to see what wealth is Follow your dreams that’s why they show in first person If I took a guess, I’m guessing things couldn’t worsen It’s rock bottom like a nightmarish hellish pit Skin’s rotten that there’s really not a spot to slit It’s pretty weird how I’ve started hating mirrors The present so bleak I hope to see the future clear We never hold back hoping God might finally hear us My dearest getting dearer with guiding angels near her The devil is in my ear telling me these sweet nothings Sometimes I can be naive maybe I just need loving A little reassurance never hurt It never goes much further as I only flirt, anymore is dirt I’m sick of lacking worth like a sack of mucky earth I’m insecure as fuck like a 40 something schmuck Maybe I can get some likes if I pout them like a duck By the way my name’s Kudz, the secret been let loose I’m here to feed you rot goose I’m vicious like a mongoose Think of it like death in the fact we don’t choose how in the end all lose I thought that this was old news

Dear Father 05:15
Dear Father Verse You hurt one’s who love you, you never learn your lesson Considering that you are still alive, count your blessings A broken mind, continuing the path in a broken line Your tribal mindset’s keeping you from what you feel inside You fucked your family you no good loser You…you pathetic excuse of man you chick bruiser You try that shit again I’ll have you missing in an instance Pull your body through the marsh, your screams echo in the distance I’ve no time for idiots I never said I’m perfect I know I have my errors, then again I have my method Yeah I’m old fashioned, if you slap me then i’ll leave stunned It’s not personal, for when I knock you out I’m having fun You loser, you shambles, you’re nothing but a lame I’m afraid, I’m ashamed to admit we share a name There’s nothing more in common than the coding in our helixes You rain on my parade again you’re burning like the phoenixes [Yes dear] Chorus Yes dear Father yes you’ve grown a bit older Your brazen antics prove you’ve grown a bit bolder But that’s where it stops you’re a child with a beard I want nothing more to do with you, I hope I made it clear Yes dear Father yes you’ve grown a bit older You still don’t care I feel your heart has grown a bit colder To you the truth I wouldn’t cry if you were gone And the way that you are going, you probably going to die a lone And that’s Verse 2 You tore apart your family and ran to your religion Which was just another thing that came to add to our division Delusions in your mind make it hard for me to find Anyway to move past your persistence in your pride Your family is ridden by so many scandals I might have been delinquent and I might have been vandal I might have been selfish and not for doing big deeds At least my heart’s clear unlike the rest of you inbreeds I’m sickened to my belly from the tales I’ve heard about you You might as well disappear I wouldn’t try to find you The least that I can do is leave you rotting by yourself And when it comes full circle nah I aint the one to help If you wonder why, think about all the fear All the time you made my mother shed cold tears She doesn’t need the hate, because she needs her mind clear So from me to you I hope you suffer in your gold years [Yes dear father] Chorus Yes dear Father yes you’ve grown a bit older Your brazen antics prove you’ve grown a bit bolder But that’s where it stops you’re a child a beard I want nothing more to do with you, I hope I made it clear Yes dear Father yes you’ve grown a bit older You still don’t care I feel your heart has grown a bit colder To you the truth I wouldn’t cry if you were gone And the way that you are going, you probably going to die a lone And that’s Verse 3 Remember when you tried to hit my mother And standing in-between you was my tormented brother I was right behind him edging closer in a fit A weight in my hand about to make your head split You made my boil blood by your lack of human decency If you’re going to have a family then do it reasonably How many times have you failed to make the grade But never did we ask for anything when you got paid And then came my brother, when you had that big fight with it Then three days later I knew something wasn’t right with him I looked at his face, his expressions weren’t the same now And later that evening he would have his first breakdown Police came around, they had him pinned against the ground I was thirteen year olds and wanting to shout So after hearing this if you find that you’re lost for words Remember that before I end your life, I’d have you tortured first [Oi dear father] Bridge x2 Oi, Dear daddy I said, Oi dear daddy [Dear father] Oi, Dear daddy I said, Oi… [Dear father] Chorus Yes dear Father yes you’ve grown a bit older Your brazen antics prove you’ve grown a bit bolder But that’s where it stops you’re a child a beard I want nothing more to do with you, I hope I made it clear Yes dear Father yes you’ve grown a bit older You still don’t care I feel your heart has grown a bit colder To you the truth I wouldn’t cry if you were gone And the way that you are going, you probably going to die a lone And that’s sad
