Verse One (Funky DL)

Sometimes I gotta’ sit back or spend the whole night
playing over all the events throughout my whole life,
childhood, adolescence, teenage, adulthood,
all the memories, experiences bad or good,
the pain, the hurt, the triumphs and the jubilations,
from broke pockets to big bank remunerations,
the transformation of communication,
I’m in the studio working, I ain’t trying to leave the consumers waiting,
I’ve seen people close disappear, people toast this my year,
then repeat the same the same old song,
I just sit on my perch while I’m putting in the work,
shaking my head, like how they play the game so wrong?
So I made more songs, sharpened up my writing
and strike like a billion volts of lightning,
and roll like I’m a Knight from dark ages,
when I try my best and get it wrong I make some sharp changes,
black and gifted, still some worry bout’ these dark faces,
I’m not surprised when these world leaders racist and judge you on your pigment,
accuse em’, it’s a figment of your imagination,
so now I step with some next type of navigation,
huh, I got my sword and my shield
and I’m skilled, so I’ll be the last standing in the field that’s for real,
when I make a beat or write a sentence,
I do it with the kind of energy we call relentless.



Verse Two (Klashnekoff)

Straight… I felt that,
and for the last couple years fam I fell back,
cah’ I been through hell, felt trapped like a snail.
tried carrying this world on my frail back, still I can’t be held back,
it’s deeper than rap, can you tell that?
it’s all authentic, this world’s tormented,
still I said I’d world tour and I meant it,
me and DL we both grew up in the trenches,
Hackney the ends is, the memories and friendships,
the foundation where everything got cemented,
that’s why we’re relentless…
yeah, but nuff times I’ve been friggin’ stuck,
you know the times when everything was fucked!
And no labels weren’t picking up,
still I weren’t giving up,
just like DL and that’s why you have to big him up.



Verse Three (Funky DL)

I scanned the barcode of life and checked the price
and saw the crap, rolled the dice then broke the ice
and took a studio device and made prototypes,
teach an entire generation how to hold the mic
and pimp the game like Dolomite, cos’ this a different kind of hustle,
I’m straight def like Dante, Jermaine, Russell,
and what’s left is brainpower, the main muscle,
can power punch you with each hand, that’s eight knuckles,
I make my talents multiply like in the parables of Jesus
and I just need some music, some apparel and some sneakers,
decide what I decide without me having to give reasons
and treating everyday like it’s a fight to keep my freedom,
they say the revolution won’t be televised,
that’s why the population’s favourite time is ten to five,
so I don’t really care about your enterprise,
you got stocks and shares, I got rhymes to memorize,
so I don’t have to blink twice,
I saw you the first time and I’m cool like drink ice,
there’s a war going on outside no man is safe from,
they killing Generals down to a dude they took a chain from,
so I got my sword and my shield, and I’m skilled,
so I’m ready and I’m standing in the field that’s for real,
when I make a beat or write a sentence,
I do it with the kind of energy they call relentless.
