Essence ft. CHXSM Lyrics

Time's of the essence so I can't wait

Nah nah need to get it all straight right now

Steady counting my blessings

I take in life's lessons on the 'regs tryna sort my path out

Already know how I get down

I'm on the up so I can't upset now

Think I got a rep now

Textiles, switch it up - I ain't got no set style

They see I'm up and now they wanna know

Already knew that they was feeling on the flow

Feel like these bruddas tryna hate it on the low

But they admiring the shine they love the glow

Guess that's just the way it goes

Stay composed, classical, Beethov'

Manna royal in this game like where my throne

Manna loyal to a fault

They wanna know like Dave back in 2016

Back then starting out now I'm closing on the dream

Working magic as of late manna moving Waverly

'Nuff bruddas acting fake stay moving savoury

Yeah that's not quite my flavour, won't go down in my favour

Life go by so quick moments I lived I did not savour

So I'm steady tryna learn, live in likeness to the saviour

Know my worth keep up greatness so nobody can compare

You better pay up

Attention, this is not a drill

I'm tryna do it big and make more than a couple bills

(And now I see it bare like)

Mandem tryna get onto my case like they're a couple bills

Eyes on me times ten seeking a couple thrills

Think you know my worth than times it by a couple mil

Speak by truth on a beat keep it a buck for real

Know to many following trends keep it a cup of -AGGHHHHH

They see I'm up and now they wanna know

Already knew that they was feeling on the flow

Feel like these bruddas tryna hate it on the low

But they admiring the shine they love the glow

Guess that's just the way it goes

Stay composed, classical, Beethov'

Manna royal in this game like where my throne

Manna loyal to a fault

Let's talk rap for a second

Let's talk trap for a second

Lets not cap for a second

I've done it all, yeah

Little me skipping on my way to school

JME bumping out the earphone's, serious

Lunch time with mandem schools hearing us

Make beats in the classroom we were curious

Time flies now the guys moved on

All the old crews gone moving too fast and furious

Stress time A-level test time

But I wanna write rhymes living for the rap experience

Let's talk trap my position was lowkey

Old me used take trips OT no bop

Couldn't sell shit and my life weren't lit

Banged F for a time 'til my bank got locked

Dumb little me couldn't think to stop

Banged more cards till my name was clocked

Black listed now the game is long

Snaked and backstabbed when the blade was drawn

See i capped for a bit that's fact

I made shit up and I never looked back

Kept close to the ones that stuck with a man in his darkest

TS the hardest

Built bonds of blood with souls

From the north, west, east and south called artist

Not the smartest

But my gut can't cap I'm headed for the top

They see I'm up and now they wanna know

Already knew that they was feeling on the flow

Feel like these bruddas tryna hate it on the low

But they admiring the shine they love the glow

Guess that's just the way it goes

Stay composed, classical, Beethov'

Manna royal in this game like where my throne

Manna loyal to a fault

They see I'm up and now they wanna know

Already knew that they was feeling on the flow

Feel like these bruddas tryna hate it on the low

But they admiring the shine they love the glow

Guess that's just the way it goes

Stay composed, classical, Beethov'

Manna royal in this game like where my throne

Manna loyal to a fault
