[Intro]
Caesar's Way, The Verge
You know that moment
Before you finally own it
This is that moment
And this is that man
Man From Anguish
[Verse 1]
On the verge of dropping my first album
Never really thought that I'd do it
People in my corner like yo
You really got style son
Show these lame rappers how to do it
Whether it's the lyrics or the flows
Beats or the mixing, we don't really care
Just show the game what's missing
But I could never think that I'm really that special
I just have a deep love for nice snares and heavy metal
But it turns out I'm pretty good at killing the ish
Gruesome murders in my lyrics on my villainous ish
Remember back when I was running I was killing the ish
First to run 11 seconds, please remember the kid
And I ain't running track no more I run the game as it is
Live my own kinda life not really giving a fick
Bout how you feel what you think
Pushed me straight to the brink
Caught myself bleeding out right over the sink
Yeah I caught myself slipping like maybe once or thrice
But I also bounced back from all my struggles pretty nice
Cause I'm feeling set for life just observe the way I write
Put it all on the line the ultimate sacrifice
Just to ascertain my goals that's to touch people's souls
With the stain from my pen better yet the ether holes
Got my bong filled with green guess I'm smoking super bowls
Better tell my opposition get to running cause
[Chorus]
I'm on the verge, verge
I'm on the verge of my success
The verge of my success
I'm on the verge, verge
I'm on the verge of my success
Verge of my success
[Verse 2]
Caesars way, that's my only way now
They can love me or hate me got to find a way out
Know my music needs to be heard, ain't no way ima doubt
My abilities now, I've come too far for that now
All I gotta do is master it, put my flow in the cast
And then I plaster it, matches strike, volcano erupt
And it a blast a bit, Sensei I'm a mastermind like
Sir Greg Popovich
My lyrics reel you in like a woman's decolletage
If you tuned in to me I gotta make it worth it
I'll always try but I'll never be perfect
I just aim live with a life with no regrets
Make memories with friends who I could never forget
Not even when I'm gone and I'm at my final station
Focus on the journey not just the destination, the best things in life are free
My favorite quotation
Throw some dollars for the money that you making
[Chorus]
I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge of my success
Verge of my success
I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge of my success
Verge of my success
Now, let's begin

Around The Way
02:36
|

[Verse 1]
Around the way with OGs and pimps
We don't parlay with naysayers and simps
I was blocked by my obstacles but turn
A couple L's to my greatest wins
Man from Anguish built up by sins
Majestic dreams to live just like Kings
Alhamdulillah I have to thank him
Protected always, cyah clip me wings
And a nuh pickney ting, me no itch fi sing
Cah me wi stitch riddim, and ano lilo stich
This a di realest ting, Use me lyricism just fi reel dem in
Nahve a chick nor chile fi yuh criticism
Got one life to live no wasting it
Success is right there and I'm tasting it
Cyah block the path cause I'm done paving it, I'm done paving it
[Chorus]
Like yeah, this is my time now
Beg yuh just gimmie di go
I'm on the road, I'm on my grind yo
Nothin else you need to know
Pass me the dro, smoking a pound yo
Light it up blowing up Os
Rolling in smoke
I'm in my zone yo, I'm in my zone, I'm in my zone
[Verse 2]
I'm in my zone like two three
Chop up the beat then whip that like Bruce Lee
Nuh time a day nuh carry myself loosely
Pants pon me waist, nah try be no coolie
Good wid mi genes all girls try seduce me
Regular ting man decline a sneak peak
That's minor tings, man affi stack the blue cheese
Minor tings man affi stack the blue cheese
This is my time now
Beg yuh just gimmie di go
I'm on the road, I'm on my grind yo
Nothin else you need to know
Pass me the dro, smoking a pound yo
Light it up blowing up Os
Rolling in smoke
I'm in my zone yo, I'm in my zone, I'm in my zone
I'm in my zone, I'm in my zone
I'm in my zone, I'm in my zone
I'm in my zone, I'm in my zone

Schemin'

|

[Intro]
Yow you done know eno
TRG Sensei, Big up Shemschemin
Them tink them catching up
Dem dreaming
[Verse 1]
Executioner, I do my task perfectly
I never stole a flow, never commit perjury
This one is for the road, for people never heard of me
I'm schemin' on the go, but still make it commercially
They put me in the ring with all of my adversaries
Blindfolded I'm still eliminating certainly
My only enemy, the fear that tries to shelter me
Sensei supremacy, decreasing life expectancy
All I wanna do is scheme, you can keep the street money
I want money like Lovene, or Bezos
Bozos still saving pesos, while I'm chasing euros
You need to set some real goals, I'm a good fella
Something like Robert de Niro, study Alchemy
I try to get close to the pharaohs, tried to wish me farewell
Guess what? I'm still here yo, Ice running through my veins
I'm at absolute zero like Rashford
Want a freestyle I need the cash first
My bars, pay Bills, like movies for actors
Your man beefing with fictitious characters
I guess that's the style for a make-shift rapper
Me, I'm not gangster, but I make head bangers
Flexing all day cause we know they cant stand us
In the fast lane while dem boys moving backwards
Left that girl high and dry like a movie cliffhanger
[Outro]
Schemin', yeah
Out here and we schemin, yeah
Schemin', yeah, stacking up the, uh
Schemin, out here and we schemin
Schemin', Caesar's Way

Not My First Time
03:36
|
|||
[Intro]
Alright, let's go
This shit too easy
Whatever it takes
Yeah yeah
Sensei, Bitch
[Verse 1]
Early morning ritual to smoke my spliff
Smoking potent homegrown, oh that's it
I been trapping since my first Motorola brick
Take a pic, your bitch could never want nothin' more than this
It's obvious I'm planning to take over the game
We can't peacefully converse, well okay
My dawg can aim, I ain't facing no charge
I ain't no LeBron James, step in the booth do hot takes
I'm the rapping Charlemagne, all these rappers all the same
What they saying not a thing, just look at my jewelry
I just leased a new chain, send my sign up in the sky
I can be your Bruce Wayne
Not my first time around the block I been circling the whole thing
No more idle talk and silly bars, let's find out who you really are
Put substance in my verses whip this shit till it gets really hard
Sensei, I'm a demi-god, opposition fear me hard
Obeah man working but my blessings coming straight from God
Not my first time baby
Nah
[Verse 2]
I ain't tryna do what they do
Flow sick, still sweet, feeling like Jesus
Dropping thunder bars, my comrades like Hey Zeus
These niggas need space too, you killing em, its shameful
Ungrateful the behaviors that I've been met with
My homie gassed off his new bitch I been slept with
The game is unscrupulous, go find you a next chick
You checking my location, bout to hop on my next trip
Stepped in the coupe, I just unpacked a next zip
My lifestyle a movie you can catch this on Netflix
And I'm still in uni, teach you econo-metrics
But I rather flip this brick like I'm playing some Tetris
I ain't restless, I just need a crown on my necklace
I ain't attending if I ain't first on the guest list
Better yet, check this, I write this with my right and you get left
I'm ambidextrous, niggas wanna try me but they wont
They pretentious, pretenders, soft like McDonalds chicken tenders
Take the best flows, put dem all up in a blender
I'm the end result that you get left with, the number one contender
Not my first time baby
|

Every Time It Rains
04:34
|
|||
[Chorus]
Every time it rains, all I think about is you
I wanna call you but you're gone
And like the sky I'm feeling blue
Can't let it stop me, even in the rain I gotta make my moves
Keep a pack, never lack, make some space I'm coming through, yeah
Every time it rains, all I think about is you
I wanna call you but you're gone
And like the sky I'm feeling blue
Can't let it stop me, even in the rain I gotta make my moves
Keep a pack, never lack, make some space I'm coming through, yeah
[Verse 1]
Heavy on the grind I think it's time to shine, woah, yeah
No more zodiac, I don't need no sign, woah, yeah
Make the stars align, construct by design
Take them by surprise, shifting paradigms
Doing my thing and nobody is stopping me
Heartbreak is temporary I am the prophecy
Living anomaly, no one on top of me
Step in the booth and they look at me awkwardly
But they cant say shit I'm killing this properly
Buying the properties murdering poverty
Playing monopoly no mediocrity
I am the king exercising my sovereignty
Let it rain, let it rain
Jah, mek it rain, mek it rain
Mek it rain, mek it rain
[Verse 2]
Let it rain as I wash away my pain
Persistency in my veins, evidently what I'm saying
Working hard day and night perfect my craft like Usain
Now I'm bolting through the city
Making waves like hurricanes
Hurricanes, bring di army, dem boy deh cya disarm me
TRG SENSEI my skill is so alarming
Listen to my verses you can tell that I've evolved
Spent a minute with your girl
And right now she won't stop calling
[Chorus]
Every time it rains, all I think about is you
I wanna call you but you're gone
And like the sky I'm feeling blue
Can't let it stop me, even in the rain I gotta make my moves
Keep a pack, never lack, make some space I'm coming through, yeah
[Verse 3]
I know the sadness that comes with losing ones you love
Heights of betrayal from the closest people that you trust
Cant even look at them the same, eyes filled with disgust
But that's the game we all play and losing is a must
Only your friends know your secrets
Only they could reveal it
Word to Bob Marley that's the don
Hand me the crown me a keep it
So buckle up into your seats and brace for impact
Slaughter the beat in one go, yo Falak, a it dat

Ambition
03:04
|
|||
[Intro]
Yeah
Let's get it
[Verse 1]
I got a lot on my plate
Stressing myself cause I wanna be great
Sleeping in classes, dreaming bout wraiths
Going on planes, you can relate
When I was young I would say it was fate
Now that I'm old it's the night ending late
Reading the books copy men that were great
Mixing these tracks while I'm rolling an eighth
Reminiscing bout a time when I made
More than a few yes a couple mistakes
Cussing my pops until he detonates
When we look back we just laugh cause we straight
We got a bond that you can't fabricate
Your fam should be there when your losses are great
But some will be fake, and just alienate
That's just how it goes in the house I was raised
Thanks to ambition, Nigga I got the vision, Yeah
Me and the homies stacking racks, oh yeah we living, uh
Thanks to ambition, yeah I got the vision, Yeah
Me and the homies stacking racks, oh yeah we living uh
[Verse 2]
Doing OT on the lot everyday
Trying to float while the dollar inflates
Nine to five you see me slaving away
I give you my time, but still you won't pay
What does that mean, we'll have to take
I give you my dollars you give me the weight
Chopping it up do whatever it takes
Washing the money in couple estates
They give us these laws but don't regulate
Their wholeness is based on corruptions and chains
Claim that we free but I see us as slaves
You can't see the light when you trapped in a cave
Claim that we free but I see us as slaves
You can't see the light when you trapped in a cave
Claim that we free but I see us as slaves
Can't see the light when you trapped in a cave
That's the truth
Yeah, uh
[Verse 3]
I'm just a youngin' with big dreams
Double R's for the whole team
Mary Berry with the double cream
Red Stripe flowing through my streams
White Tee with the grey jeans
Bitches liking what they seeing
Say she love me I'm like oh please
Only want me for the gold things
That's how it goes
Maybe they'll love you but you never know, shit
I'm on the road, dreaming arenas and selling out shows, yeah
That's how it goes
Maybe they'll love you but you never know, shit
I'm on the road, dreaming arenas and selling out shows, woo

Favela. Slum$
03:51
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Lemme paint the picture vividly so you can see it clear as me
Soulful soliloquies to balance my epiphanies
While lusting over beauty I admired Tiff and Kimberly
I'm drifting close to pleasure
Think I'm losing too much dopamine
That's woe for me but hopefully
You won't have to see me go through this
A cycle in a cycle I'm an endangered motorist
Work hard and go for this, my competition hope-less
I'm tapping into frequencies that they don't even notice
It's just binary codes all zeros and ones
From a tropical zone I'm as hot as they come
Take a sip of my elixir this is one of one
My Kush is homegrown and potent it's as strong as they come
I know niggas claim to be gangsters hear the shots they run
But in my lane these tings are going off just one by one
Nowhere to hide or to run, just slugs, victims and guns
That's why they call it the slums
That's why they call it the slums
But I don't lose sleep about it though
Wake up smoke my weed I'm out the door
Escape to hideaways in mountain tops and private tours
I'm hungry for the game and I desire more
I'm hungry for the game and I, I
[Verse 2]
I want a milli, nah a billi, then multiplied
I got friends who act single but they all have wives
The paradox of choice, we never satisfied
Tripping if you think BLM care bout black lives
9/11 aint terrorism that's lies
But if you speak the truth you're instantly demonetized
They shut you down quick and treat you like a convict
But no worries we avoiding legal conflict
My music is a painting like Jean Michael Basquiat
I'm chilling in the crib watching made men and mafias
These my role models probably nothing good to copy off but still
Ima do it calculated risks to top me off
Lover of the life of Alan Watts, Picasso
Never engage in propaganda like the gospel
Ain't tryna blaspheme but show me some real apostles
Keep your vaccines, keep your politics and lassos
Tired of you taking advantage of all these lost souls
Columbus ain't found shit but lost gold
Yeah, Slums
Caesar's Way
Can't let people stop me from like
Talking about what I want to talk about
Nah, never, Caesar's Way
[Verse 3]
I put the work in for properties not Birkins
Ya hurting for certain my meditations working
My Angel's always lurking to maintain my spiritual
Shaolin grandmaster rapping so imperial
Yeah the game needs me but I need it to
Dreams of penthouses and cars with some scenic roofs
But no scenic routes, we relentless in the game like Gladiator and Zeus
Dont even push us for proof, listen
Truthfully, you don't even know my pain
Hard times where I reside enough to go insane
Homicide is common, kill a nigga keep the change
12 killing us in masses I cant even track the names
No wonder all my young niggas strapped, tucked with the K
Cause either way we die, blap, one to the brain
It's murder if you black but if you white then it's an illness
Don't take it too personal, just remember that's just the business

Dreamer
02:47
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I'm, stuck in a dream where everything runs away from me
See my demons catching up, could you pray for me
I know the lord said that he would make a way for me
But he's just taking too long and I can't wait on him
Kill a black, get some change, put some chains on him
Keep him way below the light so he can't say nothing
Never stand up for your rights, you won't be nothing
Sometimes I feel that's all I'll ever be, nothing
Gotta let that thought go, keep the trees coming
Only happy in the Sun, Birds and Bees buzzing
And it's not really a song it's more like a poem
So I know that they won't say that this one is buzzing
But that's okay like a pipe I'll just keep flowing
And like the troubles in my life, I'll just keep coming
Gruesome fights we've survived so this rap ain't nothing
Yeah the game got fire, here's some shit with substance
Such a dream, such a dream
[Verse 2]
This is what we do, fearless on the mic, fire in the booth
Spit the truth, like a coupe, I'm 'bout to tear off the roof
Off the Shrooms, Spirit loose, never catch me sipping Goose
Different routes, different troupes, that's the gangster shit we do
Stacking P's Revving V's pray my honor never leave
No your honor, never catch my right hand snitching on the streets
Honestly, probably, if I were you and you were me
You'd be locked beneath the earth huh, 6 feet deep
Cause the things that I've seen, and the places that I've been
Are the reasons you always see me with trees and a bean
Don't mind me, I'm escaping from my life, in the drugs that I abuse
And the pages that I write, uh
It's reached the point where I no longer care if you listen
Take my pants off and take a shit on criticism
I know either way it goes, Ima glisten
Only thing that matter to me that my mama listen
Know my words don't translate to the average ear
So it's a big thank you if you're still here
On my journey, I'm hoping that success is near
Cause if not, I dunno, I'm outta here
|

Sleeping
02:01
|
|||
[Verse 1]
What will I do, where will I go, I dunno
My life's a mess and I'm losing hope, that's for sure
Just listen to my music
All the verses that I wrote
Serve to express my pain
Sole emotion that I know
So when you see me around
And I'm not smiling yo
Just know my mind filled with darkness
And my sorrows yo
I'm wishing I could give back all the time I borrowed yo
Why should I be alive, that's an answer I don't know
Some people pray for change
Some people meditate
I used to do both
That's before I lost my faith
I don't believe in nothing
Nothing believes in me
My life been cold only heat I have is when I speak
But they refuse to listen, so still I'm all alone
I write these verses just to clear my mind and get it on
A lethal contradiction
Cause sometimes I be wishing
To be successful but sometimes I wish to be missing
From the face of earth
Reverse the curse that was my birth
Submerge myself in the ocean so you can save the hearse
I'm smoking devils lettuce
Father worried bout the herbs
He doesn't know that it's the only thing that soothes my nerves
Just like a silent letter always there but never heard
But that's alright cause I feel love from these nouns and verbs
Plus I know my worth, and it's not much on earth
But I hear angels calling, I'm bout to quench my thirst

[intro]
You are now tuned in to the best
Sensei
[Verse 1]
Higher than the Eiffel Tower
Coming for the world everything is ours
Send some cars send some broads, send some jets too
Live that typa life I better get some vests too
Cause niggas jealous and they reckless with the tecs true
Bullets flying through skulls tear through flesh, woo
Where there's smoke there's fire, I guess that's true
Cause this typa rapping is so unnatural
Take notes, Lyrical Honor Roll, On a roll, I'm so honorable
Paint pictures Picassos parables
Different levels, so unconquerable
They say live and let live, I say die and they die
Put my enemies in corpses, spirits in skies
Know some consuls to set you up
That's just Caesar's demise
When I spit it's so smooth like saliva on ice
I ain't telling no lies, look me straight in my eyes
Turn fake niggas into stone, rep medusa for life
It's so easy do this for the P's my set mama for life
I'm a different type of breed I hustle all through the night
Check for all oversights, scary on the mic
Worse than poltergeist, flow contaminated call it dolomite
Wear my Hematite protect me from these bad mind parasites
Who just jealous cause my brain filled with 50 terabytes of, infinite flows
Different goals, spent 30 g's on weed and shared it with my bros
Loyalty is all I need, to overcome my woes
My grandfather died I still ain't recover yo
That's why I don't smile, that's why I don't trip
Cause in my mind I know you could get hit quick with the clip
And don't ask me why you know this life is a bitch
These niggas claim they real, give em a dollar they'd switch
[Outro]
Pardon my French, pardon my sins
Part of me's living in the bottles that I drink
Part of me's living in the spliffs that I smoke
Part of me lost in the letters that I wrote
Part of me wishing I could just remain whole
Part of me searching for my life's true goal
Part of me's trying to put some meaning in the music
But part of me just wants to do it, just to do it

Ghost Town
04:12
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Turned the block to a ghost town, no one in sight
Rep the set and hold it down, from the street to the mic
Pray the lord cover me from enemies and their might
Try me, yeah they might, got a response yeah I write
Murderous appetite, always polite never nice
Connected to satellites, lyrical samurai
Though you live and you die, pray my legend survive
Live the life pay the price, truthful words to live by
Know some killas turn your hitters to tattoos
From Africa so all I'm chasing is black Jewels
Real Estate and ownership, my type of accruals
Used to be in slums, used to chef up tin Mackerel
Now I'm eating five star meals, that's true
Waiter top me off and gave me top in the rest room
Just finished a track, already on my next move
Like Magnus Carlsen, you can't study my Chess moves
It ain't no joke when I step inside the studio
I played around and turned my life into a movie roll
Like Al Pacino off the dope I feel invincible
I can't be loose though I gotta keep my principles
Know people doubt me try to test me but I swear they won't
Try to fail me and derail me but I swear I won't, fall or falter
Nah I'm forever good, tried to gentrify me, nah I'm forever hood
Forever hood, forever hood, gentrify me nah I'm forever hood
[Verse 2]
Turned the block to a ghost town, heroes delight
Switched the verse but kept the flow around, too sick to die
Plus I got enough to go around for infinite lives
Please forgive me for the flex, be humble, yeah I try
But I gotta let you know really, I'm that guy
Put myself above my peers, test my pen and see why
It's as clear as the sky, think my time has arrived
Jumping out the spaceship, look mommy I can fly
Look papa no hands, see your son as the man
No more working so hard, just put some trust in my plans
Know your burden heavy just like the sands
Hope the hands of time will show you wins
Worked diligently, true deserving king
Hope I find peace when you're gone with the wind
Though I lied to you please forgive me for my sins
I never meant to hurt you, never meant to make you cry
I love you more than I, could ever love that lie
I'm showing off somebody show me the door please, encore encore
She says don't leave, encore encore they want more please
Encore, encore I got more trees, I'm raw, that's all, I need to succeed
Tip my hat, collecting all of your proceeds, I'm out, next show, I want more please
I'm out, next show I
[Verse 3]
Turned the block to a ghost town, three times on spite
Reincarnate it again just to make sure it dies
They might hate me for this but it's okay to cut ties
I'm just doing my job, geez, I thought I was right
Prolly hate me for this, Kinda served on this ish
Shoutout to my producer, know he lurking for this
Shoutout to all the jeweler's, need some ice on my wrist
Bout to cop a, nah nah nah nah
[Outro]
Ain't the end of the world, nah
Nah, ain't the end of the world
Ain't the end of the world, nah

Message From Caesar
03:04
|
|||
[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, far too kind
Please, Hold your applause, please
This is for you, the people
[Verse 1]
This is dedicated to all of my true believers
Motivation for the so called underachievers
Trying to reach the grand stand, we tired of the bleachers
Who thought our value could be estimated by some teachers? Ha
Plausible deceivers, School of Hard Knock, that's the only way to reach us
Can't prosper in a country with leaders, who are leeches
Uncle Sam's nephews, plagiarism in them speeches
We got to rise up, and take back the power, the world is yours?
Hm nah, the world is ours
To every single man, woman and child, whether rich or poor, introverted or wild
To the music I hereby pledge allegiance
Black almighty Michelangelo carved out my features
Insurmountable heights, impossible reach us
Caesar's way, it's a surgical procedure
Let it breathe, let it breathe
Crafting 24/7 making timeless music
Challenge my flow to be like water yeah, kinda fluid
Can' be out here making flat tire music
Beat been touched by the priest let me baptize you to it
Let it breathe, let it breathe
[Verse 2]
My goal is to inspire, melt a couple souls
But maybe while I'm at it, perform at couple shows
Connecting with the crowd, executing what I wrote
As soon as I leave, a next career decomposed
They say it's too different, but that ain't phasing me
They just wanna tie me down, free from your slavery
Pray for me, no saving me, when I suicide the beat
Blood spilling as I speak, identical to the streets
Just as violent, only difference is a different typa heat
Man dem strapped up wid di Mac and dem nuh fraid fi mek it speak
Watch yuh step when you a creep, know some killa weh nuh sleep
Way dem bad, a dem a send di squaddy up inna di jeep
[Outro]
Let it breathe, let it breathe
Oh yeah, you can clap now
Thank you
