Better Days — the album
Lyrics
(Chorus)
I keep my friends close
And the fam closer
Im searching for the kief, call me chief Sosa
Im dogging in the streets, call me cat Doja
You wanna get this high with me, with me, don't ya?
I keep my friends
And the fam closer
Im searching for the truth, coz I need closure,
Im shooting for the moon until I get closer
Just try to get this high with me, with me, won't ya?
(Verse 1)
Time is of the essence as I'm rapping in my present tense
Me and Equalix in the studio beaming resonance
In this joint venture, I can see him peel his cigarette
Elevate the music till i feel the heavens residence
10 years serving services with no severance
Just copped the license for my Kele family businesses
Used to keep it private now it's highkey turning militant
Jah soldiers on the move, and yes,
We coming for your neck again
Talking to my demons like they making sense again
But really ive been riding passenger throughout this lane of sin
Feeling wise like i got gold, the myre, the frakincense
The devil telling lies in disguise she looks so elegant
But realise that through your eyes, you see maleficent
Just because it shines doesn't mean we lose our etiquette
Show me some love, if not, then show some self respect
If you aint really fam, chip off your shoulder, go head and dip
(Chorus)
I keep my friends close
And the fam closer
Im searching for the kief, call me chief Sosa
Im dogging in the streets, call me cat Doja
You wanna get this high with me, with me, don't ya?
I keep my friends
And the fam closer
Im searching for the truth, coz I need closure,
Im shooting for the moon until I get closer
Just try to get this high with me, with me, won't ya?
(Chorus)
Uh
You ain't gotta say no more
Chill in paradise pick an island, pick a shore
(Verse 1)
Wearing in the soles of my sneakers
Strolling in the streets with my JBL speaker
White tourist jealous when they see us
Coz we dont take pills just to feel like Ibiza
When your feeling stressed take a breather,
Tekem wan shell, two shell, let it heal ya
I love that im from Melanesia
My ancestry is rich
Deep down in Lapita
(Chorus)
Uh
You ain't gotta say no more
Chill in paradise pick an island, pick a shore
(Verse 2)
If you wanna chill in paradise, pick an island pick a shore
You aint gotta say no more
I got cousins, I got aunties, I got family galore And they always showing love that's for sure
They taught me that to be a good man, give more
Sometimes I think i shouldn't talk less, listened more
Always telling me to give thanks to the Lord
So everywhere I go I give thanks to the Lord
(Chorus)
Uh
You ain't gotta say no more
Chill in paradise pick an island, pick a shore
(Verse 3)
Hello baby can I call you senorita?
Was it Europa or Asia-
Either way it's really nice to meet ya
I come from Port Vila and im really pleased to see ya
See my countries not for sale i dont care if you give it cheaper
I hold it down for my people till i meet the reaper
This is my quidiche pitch Im am the seeker
My heat seeking missiles seek ya
But never reach ya,
Reach ya
(Chorus)
Si si
Freswota mi no nid blo kasem Fiji

(Verse 1)

(Verse 2)
I turned nothing into something
Thats the way i live
Aah
You hatin on me thats the way you live
You a poser, can't oppose what I'm supposed to accomplish
World domination on my top list
Lightskinned Pocahontas way she rides around my cockpit
Now she topless, talkin bout her life and how she wants a man to top it
So while she tops me off, my minds in other topics
How to be the king of rap while hailing from the tropics?
Im trynna paint a bigger picture
They keep trynna crop it
Lets be honest
My own people wouldn't even cop this
This isn't what's been trending nah rap music isnt poppin but
My style is more defined than that I'm feeling philosophic
One day I hope my lyrics transmit light into your darkness
Faster than fiber optics
High definition your optics
And if you still don't see me heres the number to my op-timitrist
Can't erase my penmanship
Went from latent timidness
To clicking vivid images
Now my powers limitless
No it dont get as real as this
The way i follow hip hop you could its religious
Stepping on my work of art is considered as sacrilege
Far from a pacifist
Won't tolerate your blasphemous
Manners, you counterfeits
Belong in the sewers, like you certify shit
Solidified manure
Old head but the flow is newer
Cut my dreads off, still they address me as Cole Junior
Hallelujah
(Chorus)
Si si
Freswota mi no nid blo kasem Fiji
Si si
Big man i tekem yumi kasem victory
Si si
Kele kele universe i mekem history
Si si
Spell wetem Palm Trees daon lo Big Sea
(Verse 3)
Think you can smoke to get as high me don't cha?
I aint talk Gorilla ass glued to the sofa
Talking big moves, sky scrapper
Sky walker, moon walking with a mother fucker light saber
Drowing in my own dreams, need a life saver
Shawty bad, acting up, gripping at the club thinking that i might save her
Shift my weight, on the climb I'm a height scaler
Mind of high Guru, dressed as a dope skater
This game is bland, i bring more flavour
Your lies sweet, mine are more savour
And more tailored
A slave to your demons but my God is more greater
The life that I pursue I know requires more labour
Ever had to keep pushing when it wasnt in your favour?
Story of my life, let me tell you bout it later
For now i know, less problems just requires more paper
And so I chase her
(Chorus)
When I wake up
I can feel the guilt that we hide just because i survived
When I wake up
I can feel the tears in my eyes when I look up to the skies
When I wake up
I remember we were kids, you and I, never thought that we could die
When I wake up
Yeah
Put my hands to the sky, ask the Lord why im alive?
When I wake up
I can feel the guilt that we hide just because we survived
When I wake up
I can feel the tears in your eyes when you look up to the skies
When I wake up
I remember we were kids, you and I, never thought that we could die
When I wake up
Yeah
Put my hands to the sky thank the Lord you're alive
(Verse 1)
Is lucrative investment worth more than the lesson?
Get what we deserve or remain counting blessings?
You won't pay me but you can pay for your election
Most of us will diabetic, natural selection
To live a good life or die trying, that's the question
Lack of basic needs
Instigate NCDs
Blaming black magic
Blame it on the jealousy between our families
Take away our focus so the real problems
Dying quietly
This negativity slowly taking hold of me
I might drown it out with liquor, I might smoke it out with weed
Either way, I'm in pain coz my father can't sleep
I see my mother's shame when she has to buy cheap
She knows Mal nutrition is her familys enemy
My brothers had enough of this life, his next move will possibly turn him to a felony
Officers pull up behind and now he's begging on his knees
Praying to the Lord
Please set me free
Im in need of some comfort
When i run from the streets
(Chorus)
When I wake up
I can feel the guilt that we hide just because i survived
When I wake up
I can feel the tears in my eyes when I look up to the skies
When I wake up
I remember we were kids, you and I, never thought that we could die
When I wake up
Yeah
Put my hands to the sky, ask the Lord why im alive?
When I wake up
I can feel the guilt that we hide just because we survived
When I wake up
I can feel the tears in your eyes when you look up to the skies
When I wake up
I remember we were kids, you and I, never thought that we could die
When I wake up
Yeah
Put my hands to the sky thank the Lord you're alive
Put my hands to the sky thank the Lord you're alive
(Verse 2)
I lost faith my leaders
So i keep building myself
Sacrificing these hours
Just trynna build up my wealth
Running laps around Korma
Trynna take of my health
I was always embarrassed
Instead of asking for help
When I get
Frustrated when the bills keep piling
Payments outdated, might have to work through retirement
Tell me to be passionate but they never hiring
Hard to do my best before my best starts expiring
We the next generation, we should be aspiring
To be someone special that could be worth inspiring
Running in circles, now you surprised that we spiraling?
Nothing is given, I work myself till its tiring
So in the end I'd never say
Look what the system did to me?
No way
When public servants never get their salary
No way
They patience growing thin, full of cavity
Used to have a sweet tooth, now my mouth is full of greed
Im in need of more green, got my family to feed
Foreign money under the table is money guaranteed when i
When I wake up
I can feel the guilt that we hide just because we survived
When I wake up
I can feel the tears in your eyes when you look up to the skies
When I wake up
I remember we were kids, you and I, never thought that we could die
When I wake up
Yeah
Put my hands to the sky thank the Lord you're alive
(Outro)
When I wake up
I wanna feel you right beside of me, you right beside
When I wake up
I wanna see you right beside of me,
You right beside
When I wake up
Why can't I feel you right beside of me?
You right beside
When I wake up
Uh when I wake up
