Part I: 󠁪swiss francs

[Intro]
Yeah
Let it go and let it be
Praying for my enemies, I’m searching for a better me
Desperate, tryna find some hope inside these melodies
Heartbreaks and Hennessy
Saying s*it I didn’t mean
Double cup, codeine
I swear I might just relapse
Saying that you know me, b!tch, but I just don’t believe that
Why can’t you not see that?

[Interlude: A-Reece]
Codeine has been toxic
(I don’t even know what the fu*k I’m saying)
Yeah
Let’s go

[Verse]
Yuh, the rap game is decadent
Listen to what major record labels been investing in
N!ggas taking orders from executives, presidents, managers, A&Rs – it’s evident
Careers with embellishments, we know how that story ends
When that hype dies, they gon’ start to grow a temperament
White lies turn to red flags, n!ggas thought it’s black excellence
N!ggas get advances and forget about the high stakes
When they start tweeting it’s gon’ launch into a tirade
Legal team recommending sedatives
You about to the scare kids, cut ties with her and him
That and this, recouping starts to become an impediment
You ain’t dropping ’til you finish paying him
Swear to God, they adamant
Far from benevolent
When they get a new artist and add him in
You gon’ end up on the bench

Wondering – why the fu*k you signed in the first place? (First place)

[Chorus]
Independent, so I gotta take my time
Independent, they will never take whats mine
Independent, but I haven’t reached my prime
Staying independent ’til the day, I die (Yeah, yeah)
Tryna get a Swiss watch from Swiss Francs that I got from Swiss banks
Give a fu*k ’bout what a b!tch think

[Outro]
(We don’t give a fu*k)

Part II: easier said than done

[Intro]
Yeah
Yuh

[Verse 1]
Don’t ask me what I do for a living, ’cause I don’t have a job
I’m just blessed, getting money, doing what I love
And when the words come together, I thank the Man above
We used to shoulder shrug through life until we got the shoulder rub
With the ones we used to look up to back when the boys were young
The ones we wanted to become when we were growing up
Easier said than done until you hang around them long enough to realise – he’s just never who you thought he was
That just goes for some but sadly the majority
Who find it hard accepting their demotion from seniority
Who want you to be humble and call it acting accordingly
As if my resilience isn’t why they stopped ignoring me
I see the insidious envy when they start applauding me
I guess nobody wants to tell the story that ends horribly
Where the hero is a rebel that defied authority
And went against conformity
It’s obvious I’m clearly referring to me
Several labels wanna talk, I’m not in a hurry to meet
Every time I bring up a JV they don’t bother to speak
I’m out if nothing is in it for me
Maybe my optimsm is at it’s peak
Maybe the algorithm isn’t for me
I’m going DTC from DSPs ’cause I’m not cool with getting fractions of a fee someone established for me
Still indie and I’m happy to be
That signed artist don’t look happy to me, yeah

[Outro]
Real s*it, yeah
Still y’all compare ’em to me
Superstars, y’all compare ’em to me
Rising stars, y’all compare ’em to me
That’s how I know that I’m the best that could be, yeah
