Chronicles Lyrics

At 29 I was part time, hadn't even hit my prime

Before I mentioned Ballybrack in a rhyme

Prior to bringing smoke with Jah, Row and SB

Long before chopping it up with Dave East

I released More Of The Same, shit sounding lame though

I was only to blame, I Snoop Dogg layed low

They know, I know I never had it in me stuck my mallet in the sand

Said goodbye to the city

In a slump for a year like, night's that I craved the mic

Praised to christ, why can't I write, much to my delight

Ben Spidermonkey Forsyth threw me a lifeline

Said he'd hit me up for a banger for when it's fight time

The Takeover blew the speakers off the three arena

It's exactly what I needed I won't be defeated

I wrote Flatline it debuted in Bahrain

Thinking I was Versey the god like Charlamagne

But the feelings didn't last long shows won't blast the song

Thought I was Macchio they wouldn't put the wax on

Was more pissed than an alco during Happy hour

Missus and the kids seen me slip no Paddy Power

No bets back, couldn't hack the set back

Boy in a Man City Cliche I was left back

No streams no buys no downloads

How so, I was rocking stages, where the crowds go

So let me put it down like

It's all love on the mic when it sounds nice

Tell them everything is alright but it's gonna be a long night

If you don't chill

Close your eyes and be still

Things are gonna get real

Man no one's paying these bills

But I will, with these skills

So let me put it down like

It's all love on the mic when it sounds nice

Tell them everything is alright but it's gonna be a long night

If you don't chill

Close your eyes and be still

Things are gonna get real

Man no one's paying these bills

But I will, with these skills

Two years cold turkey, now I'm in my thirties

Getting clubbed by the culture do you really wanna hurt me

Karma chameleon they come and go take control yo

Face the music and dance no Nat King Cole so

Bro started from scratch, pen to the pad

They can't know you if they don't know where you grew up lad

That's true I put the borough on view without a map

I wrote a track for my community Welcome To Ballybrack

That's that, the rest is history I can't believe it

From the bottom of my heart thank you I really mean it

Hundred k plus view, the boroughs on the news

All I wanted to prove that no matter win or lose

If you hit rock bottom you can tighten up those shoes

You get back up on that saddle whip that horse til it moves

Keep pushing I know better than to quit now

Chairman of the board and I don't even have to sit down

Good things come to those who wait

And everything happens for a reason so they say

Supporting acts from the states, DJ's have me on rotate

No mistake Versey here to scrape it all of the plate

Got these rap shit locked down like Covid did in 2020

Music music ready, freakshow beats heavy

Steady many rose many fell can't get cocky

I've already been to hell bro the devil can't stop me

So let me put it down like

It's all love on the mic when it sounds nice

Tell them everything is alright but it's gonna be a long night

If you don't chill

Close your eyes and be still

Things are gonna get real

Man no one's paying these bills

But I will, with these skills

So let me put it down like

It's all love on the mic when it sounds nice

Tell them everything is alright but it's gonna be a long night

If you don't chill

Close your eyes and be still

Things are gonna get real

Man no one's paying these bills

But I will, with these skills
