One Way Trip
[Skit: ALPHA & Adderz]

Yo what you saying
Yo I'm good g, just in the studio working on the EP innit
On the outro now
I see you putting in that work
Yeah you know what it is
What you finna do for the outro
Yeah I've been thinking 'bout that
I think I'm gonna grab some soul track
Something like Stevie Wonder
Then just go deep on it, you get me?
I got a lot left to say
Yeah yeah yeah I feel you, yeah I rate that
'Ight in a bit man I'm 'bout to record yeah
Chzzz
'Ite stay on the line, yeah?
Yeah I gotta deep this you know

[Freestyle: ALPHA]

('Ite)
Work until my idols are my rivals, rise above them all
Rise above like a skyscraper, I'm standing tall
But the skies can't contain me at all
Boundless like Steve Jobs and Apple
He used circuits, I'm using my musical 
Like he's WiFi, I'm tryna feel connections
Not looking for a wifey, just a 4 bar 4G connection
And if I don't get it, i'll upgrade and move to the next one
'Cause most of these connections are based on hidden intentions 
Infections to my soul, hidden as fake affection
And next time I'm about to get hurt 
I'll forget like I have no recollection 
Of those fake friends 
Fake connects
Fake brothers
And I could go on and on 
But snakes biting lions 
Is no phenomenon
Ride or die and I'm driving 
Turn around and they're all gone 
Back seat empty 
Like the taxis, ever since uber came on 
Late night rides turned bad vibes
When snakes rise and I know
Most of them run 
Feet planted on the floor
Mind's in the game 
Eyes to the skies
And my praise to the most high
'Cause what's money and fame when we all die?
And what's hate and revenge when we all cry?
Bleed the same blood
Love the same mothers and sons 
But this money got us running for those knifes and guns
'Cause money's a motivator 
If what we're trying to motivate 
Is greed and hate and lies 
Breaking all close ties 
For a check that I'll drop in a sec
Seeking financial freedom with closed eyes
In a world fuelled by lies
That which is stuck in a cage cannot fly
Just like a conscience that you fail to feed will soon die
And I've got cold lately I can't lie
'Cause he caught a fade so 
Put a 16 year old in a station 
Anticipating the worst 
And trust the love soon dies
Their closed eyes 
Faking tears and cries 
Hypothesising
My demise
Hypnotised 
By fakes and lies 
It's no surprise
That when I see 'em again their eyes 
Hit the skies or hit the floor 
No eye contact but their lies are speaking more
Like who you hiding from or for 
You know I know you've hate before?
Probably take you on a tour of your own psyche
And teach you more 
But I only do paid tours 
'Cause I learnt 
If you give them a bit 
They'll take yours
And if you close your eyes 
They'll snake yours
And if you show them your trick 
They'll fake yours 
So never make yours
Open to anyone 
So I don't trust no one 
And know that if you're anyone 
There's no doubt I'm already one 
And with my grind 
I've already won
But in my mind
I'm never done
Nah, I'm never done

[Chorus: Liberty]
They say life's hard
I say it's just a game (yeah)
They say I'm paper chasing
Or I'm just chasing fame
They don't see the future
We really ain't the same (nah)
Ma said don't stop
Until they know the name (yeah)
'Til they all know your name (yeah) 
'Til the world knows your name
'Til they all know your name (yeah)
'Til the world knows the name

[Outro: Adderz]

I see you putting in that work
I see you with that work, ite
