All of my lines emigrate to your mind and build a residence, That is when they leave my tongue into your ears This music, I don’t do it just to touch only my peers, I’m giving you life, pain, and how to conquer all your fears They need motivation, I’m putting it on my songs I know some of us be facing a lot of dark days, Only a small number of people listen to my songs, If you’re new, let me tell you ‘bout my first 4 tapes My first mixtape – Forever Speeder Volume 1 2013 – I started writing, but that was not my first time, Already been doing this rap a long while Working on a full tape – that was my first time As You See Me was the first track I ever did I even put it as the opening song, I wrote that song with another beat, not the one you hear When I thought about the concept, I was playing on the back street I took two phones to my bedroom with my lyrics sheet, The other playing the beat, another one recording speech, If you listen clearly, you can hear my parents when they speak, They were in the other room the time I did the song, G We had no booth, but I didn’t stop, I had to find a way I also credit my brother for my first mixtape The pic I used for the cover – he was behind the cam’ the other day Bro, I’m very thankful, that is very great Look, I still give thanks to the few people Who listened to my songs, and told me they may need a sequel My first song wasn’t really of the highest quality, But they still appreciated how I killed the beat Although I struggled a lot to find a studio, I thank Riley and Toney for DJ Sbuda’s studio I did The World is Ending, came back for other songs In 2014, that’s when my first tape dropped I started working on my second tape the same year Writing lyrics to each and every beat that I ever heard On Back Again, I started focusing on real life Tryna make people aware, tryna give people advice My homie Motion took the picture for the second tape, We were in school, and that time there was no better place to be, ‘cause then, we went back in when we saw the gate, We had no issue staying there until it’s very late On Back Again, I only hit the stage for one song And that’s the first one, I saw people asking me for more And I was very glad, they really liked a RAP song The hook is kinda catchy, verses heavy – dense song Shout to Candiez for still listening to Both Sides On Back Again, I also came up with them punchlines I wasn’t just telling stories, I’m a rapper, so I had to Had to make sure that I’m not the Razor they wanna step to 5 songs were done by DJ Sbuda, The other 11 were done by myself on Es-Cay’s computer You see those two are the real Gs, Without the two of them, I think there won’t be no me I worked on one song with Riley and Toney, The other 15 were me by myself, on my lonely I share the brotherly love for Riley and Toney, Cause without the two of them, I think there won’t be no me I always been a dreamer even when I’m not asleep That’s how I got inspiration for doing number 3: Dream Chaser The opening song is New Year, And that was 2016; I was happy doing final year of high school, There was a lot I really been through, So, I put it on 12 songs, that’s what I had to do Cause if I keep it to myself and never sharing with you, It keeps haunting me like “Ephraim, I’m messing with you!” My homie Motion did the honors for the first picture I used as a cover; I was in class, there was no teacher I forever love you my brother, you’ve been a real one You’re more than a friend, I think we’ve got the same blood I thought it won’t hurt for me to get personal, and share my dreams; Tell the people what’s really inside my mind and my heart, My music is the story of my life, I felt I need to share the struggle and these hard times But it wasn’t only that I’ve talked about, I shared my feelings, not just a rapper with no love The reason I put those songs on mixtape number 3, Is because the lady was really the girl of my dreams (And she still is) I tend to be specific when I write songs, Not just a rapper spitting similes and metaphors The reason is I don’t want those who’re listening to get lost So, I really be specific in my songs The 4th project – Forever Speeder Volume 2 Best mixtape that I ever did, I already knew when I started writing from 2016 to 2017 That life has got something for me in store to be going through Introspectiveness grew faster Than a garden plant that is fed with fertilizers I had to sit down and check with the surroundings My life was changing and everything around me did, From a learner to a student up in varsity Leaving home and coming back after nearly 6 months of studying hard, Getting few hours of sleep But no complaints cause that’s how I’ll get all of my dreams I made songs for everybody I got love for, Those who I know will never be praying on my downfall And I can do the same, because we care for each other And during hard times, we’re always there for each other There’s few songs directed to all my enemies Not that I had to, my chest has got a right of getting cleaned! Some people think that I’m quiet because I might be scared, But then I handle situations like the man I am All of my lines emigrate to your mind and build a residence, That is when they leave my tongue into your ears This music, I don’t do it just to touch only my peers, I’m giving you life, pain, and how to conquer all your fears They need motivation, I’m putting it on my songs I know some of us be facing a lot of dark days, To the small number of people that listen to my songs, I really hope you’re happy that I’ve been doing these mixtapes

Moving back and forth when I’m supposed to move forward Life is a gift, and I appreciate mine, I’m really happy for the people who gave a meaning to it Those are my family, and everything they do for us Things might not be going the way that you planned them But you don’t gotta give up, you just gotta try Somebody might be living better than you, but they’re not perfect God knows your future, so just live your life, And try to make it better, never look at anybody’s You’re just holding yourself back against the wall, buddy Give thanks and appreciation for what you have Get along with the fact that you’re not perfect, don’t be sad Because some things are only temporary Like the tough 31 days of January What I mean is your happiness is within you Never feel worthless when you don’t do what they do The only competition you should be having is you No need for bothering your mother, Tryna get attention from the people who wasn’t there in the first place for you, Tryna be expensive when you can’t even afford it, When you’d rather work hard ‘cause you still got time But still, even if you make it, never try to impress somebody, Unless it’s yourself or your family, Let them love you the way that you are, never for what you got! Some people try to fit in because of peer pressure You’re smoking just because your friends do it, Trust me, they won’t be there when you get cancer, On your death bed! They never loved you, decide before you reach the edge People who care for you never let you do wrong things, But if they care for you, they’ll build you up instead of kill They’ll never come to you, letting you smoke and drinking booze You need to check all the sides before you even choose Because the real friends are those you don’t have to impress, They are people who want you living life without stress They will accept you the way that you are, Don’t find yourself going forth, the next minute, you’re going back Because the real friends are those you don’t have to impress, They are people who want you living life without stress They will accept you the way that you are, Don’t find yourself going forth, the next minute, you’re going back Some people take photos and videos instead of helping They wanna picture the moment when someone’s life is ending This social media generation is gassed up, the world is ending I wonder why they’re still standing And if they’re helping people, they still gonna post the videos They feel like if they don’t post, nobody gon believe at all God is watching you, no need for you to show me what you do I know it’s inspiration to others, so I’m not judging you I get it; You wanna make it in life within a minute, You don’t have to rush anything just because someone is living Life with some money, driving cars, getting all the women in the world, You got your own timeline, just listen: Success is meant for everybody, as long as you’re committed, As long as you put in the hard work, as long as you’re believing in yourself, Trust the process, have patience; you with me? Nothing ever comes easy in this life we’re living Unless you wanna get yourself killed, Or maybe spend the rest of your life in prison, So, you don’t have a reason to do what they do, When life depends on how you live it Feeling like I’m in a church ‘cause now they really got me preaching People be grown up and still need to hear these teachings They say I’m young to tell them what to do but when speaking, They’re gon listen unless there’s no progression in their lives Unless you wanna spin in circles the rest of your life I know it’s not possible but I’m tryna save the world I don’t wanna keep all these thoughts to myself I’m just tryna spread em through the world I know there’s people who can hear my words Speaking all these facts each and every verse All that quick money with the same effect on life, The rate of it coming an end is directly proportional, Depending on how you got it, you’ll never get it back You think you’re moving forward but you are going back! We’ve gotta see the blood and sweat, we call that a hustle Life is moving forward and back, that’s why I’m humble I’m giving you the lectures, because you need to learn I want you to keep moving forward, no looking back We’ve gotta see the blood and sweat, we call that a hustle Life is moving forward and back, that’s why I’m humble I’m giving you the lectures, because you need to learn I want you to keep moving forward, no looking back Let me further this introduction with another verse Let me further explain it, how we’re moving back and forth As if we’re moving from the number after 2 Tryna adapt to the sweet Life, it can be sour too The only Thing I talk about when I’m in the booth ‘cause I’m the MC who’s trying not to crash the youth I use my voice as a GPS when I’m leading you Trust me, I’ve been through so much in this life, so when you LOSE, It’s not the end of the road, use the first letter of the word Like how we use it in the school and replace the “OSE” With the word “EARNING” for the knowledge ‘cause it is what you gain; the same letter stands for “LESSON” It might be hard to understand, that’s how reality is Scary at the same time the more you breathe I’m tryna spread awareness; every verse, I use to teach The future’s waiting, why you stopping when the light is green? The same color the planet is losing every second Just like humanity disappearing 24/7, And I don’t mean to Heaven, ‘cause in order to get there We need to fix our attitudes while we’re living here Moment of silence, this verse is deep… Okay, so let me see How much longer am I gon spend on an introduction? Supposed to be 10 minutes, that minus 4 is nothing We got a whole tape to go, considering that I forward 10 times the steps than when going back The patience I have, one song could take a year Either to finish writing, or even for me to complete the rap That’s what I call “Not following trends” The line before that has two meanings, what a stretch Gotta comprehend, so if you don’t consider me the best, The conclusion is that you need to take a few steps back! So you can move forth, a journey of a few steps Everything above is the food for thought that’s been served The message for everybody who needs the progress: Start doing everything you can, that’s the process Never wait for it, you gotta make it happen You gotta go through hell before you see the Heaven Do it for yourself by yourself that’s the test, Don’t depend on them, that’s how you’ll be the best

Even 32, now I’m adding up Another 16, like I bring a teenager to hospital Every verse I do, it’s guaranteed I raise the bar up As if I plugged the mind to power sources – charging up Like the field is your jewelry, I’m not a thief but you will run it up I’m not too kind with the shoulders, I don’t tap I earthquake-flow, destroying everything when I diss-track So be ready with Java-Scripts like a code writer Kill ‘em with lines I didn’t write like I had a ghostwriter I’ve been taking you through a journey of life on many songs, I think you understand now why I call it “Moving Back and Forth” Because this real life is like a two-way street, and when you Think you’ve reached the finish line, that’s when you coming back to Start again, Snakes and Ladders – snakes be coming at you Please Lord, shed light on everything I go through I said this real life can be good and scary too Especially for us who don’t hesitate to expose the truth Lord, please shed light, so when I’m going through The shadow of death, I can’t be scared as I’m walking with You

Others are here to stay, others, they come and go Others, for you, they pray, others, on you, they poach Others, they come with love, others be showing hate Others, for you, they’re the sun, others is dark days I’m talking ‘bout people, be careful around some of the humans They be worse than animals, I know cause I’m the kind of student That life is a professor of, and that same life has been a test, Always on my shoulders, always on my chest But at the same, it’s safe to say it gave me strength I can’t just give up because somebody wants me to The more they become children, the more I be a man Life is everywhere and there is nowhere to be running to People are never satisfied with anything in life, You’re living rich, they plot behind your back to take you down You’re living poor, they’ll never lend a hand to help you out I remember back in school when devil got me stressing out The took my stuff but they’ll never take what’s in my mind I don’t think they even made it, see them going up and down, With nothing else to do than getting burned by the sun I’m not a bad person but I wish for them to die! How you gon do somebody bad when you don’t want that on you? The way you treat somebody, that’s how they gon give it to you Today someone is sad because of you but when you cry, That’s when you’ll realize what goes around really comes around For real Sometimes, the ones we love are not the ones who stay forever Sometimes, you gotta go through tough situations to better your life It’s never fair but ain’t complain, I’ve gotta man up And face the challenges, I’m thankful I can still get up Each and every morning to continue fighting with this life I’ve got a purpose to fulfill as each and everyone I point them to the right direction when the rest of the world is going the other side, True leadership skills, right? My voice – I use it for the right reasons Through these speakers, you won’t hear no lies in it Turn the volume up, you see who vibes with it Music like this won’t be played on radios That’s why I maximize the volume of my stereo, Whether I’m walking on the streets or walk inside a building, This how I spread the message, real music that hurts your feelings You listen to this, got you thinking very differently, Got you thinking twice before you do something regrettably Like trusting everyone you meet without even confirming That they are the person that you think they are, you’ll end up blaming Yourself, but then it’s too late, cause you’ve wasted all your time Investing in this person, getting nothing in return, so now You realize you’ve been a ground, so they been playing on you I’ve got a few words for them, so let me say it for you: It might be nice to you when somebody’s not doing fine because of you, But then what goes around is gonna come around! For real

I’m stressed out, depressed and I’m traumatized at the same time Going back and forth, expressing how I’m feeling through my rhymes Believe it or not, many people don’t wanna see me shine They rather see me having nothing, not even having my life Sometimes I feel like I should quit and let the devil smile, Let them all to be happy cause I know that is what they want Maybe if I do that, I’ll probably have a peace of mind But then, I still have to think about the people in my life I don’t wanna hurt my mother, I don’t wanna hurt my granny too But then, if I’m hurt then they’re hurting too If I keep on living like this, to quit is what I’ll have do So, they’ll have to forgive, they’ll have to understand me too I know some people are listening and they think I’ll be a loser if I quit, They say a winner never quits, Well, I love my life, I’m too young to lose my shit Never be ready to live in other towns and all that shit I’m never feeling safe whenever I am not at home Because the devil is following everywhere I go It’s coming through many people and they can all fill the dome So, I gotta take the Bible and them keys, lock the doors, stay at home It’s very crazy being a black person Because others don’t build you, they destroy a person A black person don’t wanna work, They just wanna use somebody’s strength, and taking everything they have, I really hate a lazy person, they don’t wanna do they own work They don’t wanna stand up and have balls and be the men They steal from other people and complain about the government This shit is fucked up, what about the blood and sweat That our mothers shed? This life has got me stressed Only if there was a university in Zastron, I would’ve not got out of town to see them demons Although I know the devil is there in my hometown too At least I’m used to being around my hometown, bro It seems like I’m not welcome in them others towns at all though I’m not saying Zastron is safe, Even if I am at home, I still feel the pain, nothing will ever change, I’m still searching for better days, Although I know the Earth ain’t got a safer place To have God on my side, I will have to pray The devil and its followers are predators, and I am still a prey, I’m fighting with them every day Go ahead and say that I’m weak for expressing my life on this song If I’m keeping quiet, man this shit will get me destroyed I should be talking to a preacher But I don’t trust anybody else, I hope you see that It’s very crazy, man, these troubles that I’m going through I’m very young, why should I be living like I’m 42? To be living like I got kids, I’m living life that is stressful, Feeling like this life is never beautiful It’s very crazy, man, these troubles that I’m going through I’m very young, should be living like I’m 42? To be living like I got kids, I’m living life that is stressful, Feeling like this life is never beautiful

I just thought I should write this song to make it beautiful, A song that’s not aggressive, it can touch everybody, like this is spiritual, Can heal any soul, it’s pharmaceutical, Putting healthy lines on a soulful instrumental I want everybody to feel my lines, that’s why I spit it slow Check to your left and right when you cross the road You’ll never know when these people are trying to see you home Above the clouds, and skeletons under the ground, your family hearts broke They’re crying every time wishing they can talk to their child one more time Already, Ancestors have said “Welcome home child” Earth is a very strange place and it’s dangerous, It’s only beautiful from the looks above with the satellites, Across the galaxies, cows on the path make a milky way That’s just a line off the dome, it came down from the brain But I know people suffering a damage on the brain The only thing they wish they could have, is another day Please, Lord make a way Nobody’s perfect, I’m a sinner and I still pray I don’t rap to get paid or get praised, but if I do then I appreciate I just wanna climb the stage, I just wanna share this pain with anyone else who can relate We don’t have to be brothers or cousins, whatever the case Living in this jungle with them snakes, you’ve gotta be brave Others wanna be Speeders, they’re living on the fastlane I don’t mean I’m living on the fastlane, but life got me sick Only few people will understand what I mean Some people turn against each other, they be salty They’re still killing one another, no limit, they ain’t stopping I turn on the news, it’s just a different day, the same thing I know you wonder what I mean by “the same thing”, The world is ending, and revelations are coming true I understand the Bible, though I never went to Sunday School I never judge nobody, positivity around me, That is what I want, look inside me – less electrons, But I give light like a day when it’s sunny To be fair, the most evil thing in this world is money, And the criminal activities, gunshots, and people dying, And those we lost, I can hear them crying We lost them and we still crying, Rest in Peace, though Life, was never meant to be easy You look around, you realize them people are busy Cause they know life is not perfect, so they try to make it worth it But others are busy degrading other people, tryna make them worthless Just because you got what I don’t have, that don’t make you any superior, We’re equal, I don’t care what you think, I’m not inferior! They’re coming to my country; I will never pose a threat to them, I hate xenophobia! What if tomorrow you’re leaving this place for other places? How can you treat somebody trashy just because they part of other races? How much do they pay you for being racist? You need to make a better place for the kids that you’re raising I hope you know what I mean, this goes for everybody You need to think for the future before your present’s muddy Not every one of them is bringing something negative in this country, They even subsidize for less money I forgot that people never see what’s positive, They’re blind to the plus sign, so they only see the negatives You can’t be nice to somebody that you don’t even know, When hate is living in your heart for your close relatives It’s kind of difficult to make friends than enemies, It takes a couple years for me to prove that we are friends indeed, So, I don’t judge you, I’m tryna make you realize That you can get along with someone even if it takes time I got trust issues and there’s no prescription to be given To me by any doctor that can change my state of mind I understand how you’re feeling, it’s kinda hard to be living with people When some of them don’t know our way of life And then again, if something is wrong, we can’t ignore I wanna make my life better, I’ll fight ‘til I’m the only force applied on myself, What I’m tryna say is when you focus more on you, Then everything around you doesn’t affect you at all That’s only true in an ideal world which don’t exist Cause if it was, I wouldn’t be able to say these things I observe and process before I even say my speech Tryna avoid jumping into conclusions and what I see nowadays, Is an increase in entropy, cause this a messed up place “The World is Ending” – that ain’t just a phrase Adjust yourself, so when you look in mirrors, see the change, Never look for it anywhere else, it’s gotta be your face

This is me Speeder Razor, yeah Not Doing Nothin Soundz PayBack Music Group, we’re still alive, aren’t we? We’re still here, we’re still living Zastron City – that’s where I’m living I’m just busy going around the town with my homies, we’re busy speaking We tryna have fun and be happy, trying to decrease The stress out of the minds, we thank God we’re still living Don’t think we’re useless when you see us go around, we’re on a mission Only if you had a chance to open up all of these minds And have a look, you’ll understand it was already written Nobody can erase, nobody can steal what is in my mind, It’s not like when I’m not looking at it it’s gon be missing We’re hoping for a better future, that’s a vision Two rules of Maths that don’t apply in our friendship, Two rules: no subtraction, there’s no division But a fool from somewhere, he changed on us like a season I’m taking it slow cause I don’t want no misunderstandings I want you to understand every word that I am saying In these lyrics, if you’re listening and feeling me, you see me Although I’m not visible in your eyesight, there’s still me Those are just a few words, We wanna shoot for the stars, we’re the bullets, so we turned birds Only just a few words For me to explain how we’re feeling living in this cold world I wanna say these few words: Every day in life there is something new that we’re gonna learn “It is life” – just a few words, It’s very complicated, we can explain it in few words Let us all stand up and try to dance with the steps Let me teach you how to move back and forth, a P.B.M. Dance Man, that’s what life taught me during times when I’m stressed So, we’re going back and forth, we don’t wanna be depressed I see them losing life, and that hurts my chest It’s hard to believe that we keep on losing people every day, Them people who we love, them people who we know they love us back On a weekend, I wish I could be skipping up the Saturday Everything that happens, happens for a reason It’s like a business, when you feel two seasons on a meeting Just know that life is tough, just know that it won’t be easy Anytime soon, stay in school and avoid the street-living I appreciate every day that I’m still breathing I’m tryna give advice to anybody who gon feel me In these lyrics, if you’re listening and feeling me, you see me You can be anything that you want if you’re believing Those are just a few words, We wanna shoot for the stars, we’re the bullets, so we turned birds Only just a few words For me to explain how we’re feeling living in this cold world I wanna say these few words: Every day in life there is something new that we’re gonna learn “It is life” – just a few words, It’s very complicated, we can explain it in few words I’m sure they say I’m weak when I’m spitting something that’s personal You don’t have to worry, I’m an MC, I might spit bars any time of day And kill rappers and be like: “Nothing’s personal” I’m wondering if anybody will be happy in that way But for now, let me speak with the Mayor I want to say a few words through your mp3 player Cause I see that you don’t wanna meet the people that you’re leading in Zastron City, As if meeting us will be something major, As if that will cause you a disease, or make you feel the pain, That will never happen cause you can see we are clean as rain So, there is only one thing that I wanna ask from you Any word I’m speaking, I don’t intend to be disrespectful I’m only speaking on behalf of Zastron City I’m sure you made a plan so they can all get up in varsities I mean the students, at least those who deserve to be Please don’t repeat what you did for us in 2017 You didn’t even try to speak to us, you left us outside, Out of your office, I’m wondering what are you calling that? We got depressed in January when we’re hearing news About some of the leaders taking the learners from the schools And making sure they’re covered, taking them to universities In Zastron City nothing’s happening We moved around the town with them papers trying to get them in Some of our fellow learners never got to varsities Please, this life is really hitting hard on us We’ll appreciate anything that you do for some of us, Cause Natural Selection doesn’t select every one of us We also wanna be in offices, at least some of us Please, Mrs. Mayor, are you hearing us? Even for a few matriculants, that will make us proud I didn’t want to make this song a letter, but it is now, Signing out, yours truly, Ephraim from Zastron town
