Hook: [Gothic Delphine]
Pay attention to me, love
Why am I begging for you huh
Putting up with the bad in a month
Always feeling I wasn’t enough
Pay attention to me, love
Why am I begging for you huh
Putting up with the bad in a month
Always feeling I wasn’t enough
Verse 1: [Nonazz]
Every morning I awake from a cavernous night
Pondering on everything that got me causing a fight
Inside the broken head, hoping I could focus once again
But I been running, overdosing from the comfort I ingest
I never rested well
I try to drift away and set myself away from hell
The spirit roaming in the hallways as I play the 12th
For shame and wealth, as I begin to entertain the spell
It’s all a prophecy
The poverty would always bother me
But I could never change it all within a step
And every now and then I see the pages written all across the wall
But I can’t even specify the wording said
My pain was nerving, I been learning how to cope but slowly turning from my current self
Whatever happened to the person that was earning health
My soul's energy was burned from cold memories
Holding verbs effortly as I control my symmetry
Walking by the crescent lake on winter days
Sparking up another roll of Brazilian haze
Ice frozen peaks scattered all across the cracks
Wishing I could pause a second and take it all back
Hook: [Gothic Delphine & No God.]
Pay attention to me, love
Why am I begging for you huh
Putting up with the bad in a month
Always feeling I wasn’t enough
Pay attention to me, love
Why am I begging for you huh
Putting up with the bad in a month (Secret Scriptures)
Always feeling I wasn’t enough (Look!)
Verse 2: [No God.]
Crush a coal to a diamond, love sick now I’m shining
Stopped tryna turn it to a science, felt the vibrance
If nothing makes a nihilist is tryin something worth a risk
Burning spliffs, vigilant of pigs tryna power trip
Evading big crowds, they chase styles but never profound
Burdened as a perfect child the demons never got out
Clouds of doubt held me down from hearing coaches shout
Starved myself thinkin I would sprout, it never worked out
At last surrounded by the peace when I was younger
Hoop dreams and lax summers ‘fore I lost my hunger
Loose schemes spit, I blew steam and reached a peak of sonder
Wish upon a star we seek to see nirvana
Gained my honour, medication made my mind wander
Strained and bothered, stayed stronger cuz my mom and father
Remained a martyr, pain and trauma saw my thoughts darken
Hardened prison, love sick caused a heart incision
Hook: [Gothic Delphine]
Pay attention to me, love
Why am I begging for you huh
Putting up with the bad in a month
Always feeling I wasn’t enough
Pay attention to me, love
Why am I begging for you huh
Putting up with the bad in a month
Always feeling I wasn’t enough

Verse 1: [No God.]
Secret Scriptures
Scintillatin, spliffs blazing stopped my mind from racing
Sinful bait was always blatant, scribblin’ on pages made a modern day metaphysician
I shook you like fibrillation, surgical precision stopped your living
Lyrical lacerations slash like Zoro off determination
My dissertations concentrating on the pain I’m facing
My will is stainless, brass brazen had to clash with Satan
Times change, I’m Steven Strange when he lost his patients(/patience)
Fate will play a part, facials scars from monkey paws
Wish upon a star you’re first to draw before I crack your jaw
Lost it all, depictions of my thoughts make you question god’s intentions look at Noah’s ark, flooded life from the start
Made my mark, watch the salted cut dissolve, kick push so appalled
Applauded for withdrawals, had to stall before I met my clause
Let my flaws shine through petty crimes absolved, you Better Call Saul
[Voice Clip]
A lot of other people would still be alive right now. The fact is, Walter White couldn’t have done it without me
Verse 2: [Nonazz]
Let’s fucking get it, woo!
Ayo ayo ayo ayo uh, uh, let’s go, yo
Scattered ash, tapping cross the broken glass
Floating past my lonely acts of smoking gas in open bandos slowly crashing down beside the cul-de-sacs (talk to ‘em!
Roads of different paths, I chose the trail where the fork was at (fork)
I been so conflicted, missing visits from my shortened past (fuck that)
Mourning matters, pushed away from normal drafts
I climbed beside the walls below the broken shafts
Pouring gas, your boring ass ignoring all important facts (fuck)
Assure your raps, I store the pack beside quarry’s open track (woo!)
Moving like a train of freight
I paint beside the tainted gates and crumpled fences (spray it)
Stumbled in the tenses of the words I question
Curving edges, shining through the darkness like a burning candle (woo!) (Yo)
Merge my shit ease as I preserve this handle
Verse 3: [Sneaky Preacher]
The light caster, impolite bastards get spiked backwards
Mic jackers should (think of a light that shines)
You engulfed in darkness, turn your body to a heartless carcass
Cuz you stepped to the god when I was tryna spark spliffs
Top product yet to drop objects in the market
But when I do know I’ll be shining, aligning my targets
The alabaster artist, Sun reflects through the eye of a marksman
Kicks white as the arctic, I rock the champion parka
Through late nights, relay the plight, darkest before the dawn reaches my sight
Mind was gone so shit was aight, but had to reflect on my life
Shining back on who I’m alike, through my travels reached respite
Chilling out of sight, but if I have to fight turn to iron Mike
Swinging the right, back on the ropes living life in the scope
Lost control almost got shot down from the grassy knoll
But recited my quotes to enlighten those folks
Stuck in a hole, had to climb out shining down to the soul
And you know

Verse 1: [No God.]
NODUO shit
Secret Scriptures
Look,
Good spliffs got me pondering my existence
Walls thick like chrysalis from blows to my innocence
Blissful of my ignorance, penmanship is intimate
Felt betrayed by my best interests
Sunk relationships from greater distance
Exiled below the heavens blew it in remembrance
It was always self defence but never preservation
Pure elation, severed ties left my mind racing, always hatin’
Dividing piles from our paper chasin
Lost lives across the nation, genocide while the price inflated
Systems thrive on participation
Rigged n racist, hiding places stay the saving grace
Weaponizin murder rates left cases buried littered in mistakes
White lies they perpetrate are escalating till we die
I tried to empathize, the stroke work excites her cries
Empty prayers to the skies left with no replies
Hook: [No God. & Nonazz]
It’s do or die
Haze fills the night sky
Blazed the fire, tried to free our minds
What’s the point in ever tryin’
We lose our spines when we try
Already died
It’s do or die
Haze fills the night sky
Blazed the fire, tried to free our minds (yuh)
What’s the point in ever tryin’
We lose our spines when we try (yuh, yuh)
Already died (yo, uh)
Verse 2: [Nonazz]
My lil homie said “ooo you got money now”
It’s funny how they never wanna come around, tried to knock my hustle down
Been a couple rounds in this shit, but ain’t nobody tryna stop me now
I got the posse loud and I could give a fuck what they be talkin bout
It’s not a thought in doubt
I used to drop beide the foggy routes
Smoke about an ounce or less
Whatever all these mothafuckers could amount cannot impress
Poisoned by the mind, they stuck inside a paradoxic mess
Puffin’ haze from out the terrace in a pondered quest
Fonded by the memories that brought my sorrow rest
I’m still on that same shit
Without a pay to slip
Pacing in a blatant drift
Adjacent in
My pages thick
I got the scripture from an ancient gift
Afraid to mix with all the differences my wages shift
Entangled with the god I pray within
In abundance with relationships I gotta keep my labels thin
It's do or die
Haze fills the night sky
Try to think about these moments till we outta time
Crowded lies taking over minds
Can’t be caught within the sins that leave us all behind

Verse 1: [Nonazz]
yo, ayo, uh, yo
dutch master
rolled inside the shatter
toe tapper
hoes scatter
send a couple fractures to your homie’s after
ain’t compatible
the shit they say is laughable
i pass the roach to nazareth, the god is bout the stacking dough
cashing more
i’m only paid in full
the paper chase attainable
his stories bout the waves that he created was a fable though
the sickest brown to rap, this shit is not debatable
the crown intact the price become inflatable
major growth was witnessed
i ain’t stoppin till im lost in all these digits
lighting blunts beside the bridges
copping swishers
mocking interest
flashes of these thoughts diminish
seasons changing, stuck inside these hot winters
smoke you like a potsticker
took a break from shit but we just got sicker
Bridge: [Nonazz & No God.]
They not on the same wavelength and shit
You feel me? Yo
NODUO in the building yo (Secret Scriptures)
Light industry shit
Verse 2: [No God.]
Look
The path to righteousness already thin
Spinning king of limbs, early evening metro trips I’m rockin dirty timbs
Spliffs hittin often lift my spirits, gifted optimism
Weighed my options penning rhythmic consequentialism
Contradictions guarded hidden in my compositions
Kant’s dilemmas used to hinder many past decisions
Grasp the limits, cash diminish, rappin scriptures, task deliberate
Sailor’s spinach, super strength to body competition
Got altered senses while I’m floating off the indica
Split you like slopes and integers, remains are linear
She let me hit because compared to her I’m prettier (that’s a true story by the way)
Look
Cursed descents of Horus always worn through currency of war
Stay the course, soaked shirt stains permeate my pores
Strained force had me layin sprawled across the floor
Toking torches, shook and scorched, till my lungs were sore

Verse 1: [Nonazz]
Yo, yo
Yo, Nazz
NODUO
Ayo, yo, yo
The moon slowly shine
I rode beside the sun as I adjust my blinds
Running down a rugged ride, I musta had my optics high
Feeling like I’m stuck from staring at the sky
Sharing all the times that I would perish in abundance lies
Wish that I was vocal more about my struggle
Left em all across these metaphors from all the doubt I stumbled
Stick and stones ain’t break my bones and muscles but they left some trouble
My vision slowly lost the shutter
As I witness all these others free before I drown another
Underneath the blank expression lies some more than meets the eye
Sometimes I just wish I was normal guy
All of my immortal rhymes is holding boulders rolling down my tilted mind
It took a lot to keep them stabilised
I wish I never stayed behind to learn the darker truth
Parting routes with demons in my larger groups
Thought they was a friend till they show off the roots
You could always cherish someone when they never cared for you
That’s just how they interfere with you
Spare the news, I played it fair and had to face unbearable
Crash my feelings out in somewhere outta view
People say they proud of you but that can’t help distracting you
Wish I never had a simple attitude they take advantage outta you
Sail myself away for all that’s left to be
Wish that I could watch my worries rest in peace
Separate these entities from tempting me
That’s just how it’s meant to be but they could not contempt to me
Say goodbye to all before I set it free
Verse 2: [No God.]
Look
Crossed abandoned train tracks talkin with my dawg Nazz
Futures optimised our contrast from being outcasts
Trapped inside the depths of black the sadness let my soul crash
Contemplate the abstract, distracts me till my lungs collapse
Awkward off the prozac, doomed tryna get the cash
Looming through the cracks was two Judases and a will to rap
Sessions in the summer probably saved my life
Always had the skill to write, shoutout to the bros who led me to the light
Potential seeming prodigal I overcame my obstacles
Whispers from apostles so I knew my death was possible
From genesis to knowin my idols, partnership is conjugal
Almost out the hole and found my soul I almost lost hope
Tunnel vision slowed when depression had me in a choke
Hold me grounded, love to my folks they kept me close
Folded under pressure then my spirit rose
Outgrown many problems inner solace start to impose

Verse 1: [Nonazz]
Yo, ayo
The captain wave his signal
As I sail my ship away from land
Digging holes beside the grand canal
Below the pirates hands
Soaking up beside the sand
The love that fell was all plan
I had to re-examine
Bleeding smoke from heated canons
Watching as the breathing sun would vanish and the rain would follow
Might as well jus let it fill the earth and let it drown my sorrow
Hope I see tomorrow
Tying ropes as I proceed to swallow
Breathing in the hallows, till I found the message in the bottle
Floating in the waves, I rest assured before I read the scripture
Took some time to get the picture, but soon I set it on my way
Tryna find a place to call my own to stay, mostly always known to play these games
But I can’t say that I still felt the same
All I really needed was escaping from my day-to-day
Struggles left in wages, turning pages of my fabled maze
Looking back, my vision that I had all a faded haze
Making changes, ain’t no taking risks before I see my fate
My demons told me
But soon I learned to let go
Passing through the busy city as I rode the metro
I broke my pedals, tryna ride the waves
Took some time to find my place
But now I see the light that shine beside the rays
Lonely journeys, stranded from the rest
I can’t suggest
I simply manifest my plan that I been sketching depth
Present left me second guessing
Never let the stress forget me
Seperated, less perfected, still I said goodbye to all I ever met
Verse 2: [No God.]
Secret Scriptures
I went from seein-
Colours combine to grey skies all the time
Beams cut a line, I peered through blinds, spent too long inside
Blasting Shrines out the speakers, alkaline it smeared the sneakers
Turning brine to ether, riverside, I’m burnin reefer
Texting Z and Preacher swapping demos while I puff sativa
Often bleekens, meds caused my thoughts to weaken
Wallowing and anaemic off the Nietzsche I was reading
Optimist off the deep end, wrong things would start to creep in
Ottawa winters freezing, arms recede, my posture steepens
Lost the laws of reason cost my heart and hardened feelings
Fodder would spark the beacon through the fog I saw a clearing
Pardon my altruism, sorrows speared me through her treason
Wanderin harsh seasons, hollow breathing, hardly fiending
Bond to better regions, got disorders I was sparsely eating
Crossed the seven seas, saw the bird flocks
started fleeing
I squashed my dreaming, used my artistry to stop the bleeding
Artistry on the cross and yet it couldn’t stop the bleeding
Pondering all my conscious choices why am I still breathing
God’s decision, opulence and greed were never offered to me
My rotten living, I’ll let my sins dissolve me fully
Dissolve me fully
