'Catch Up'
Produced by Alex Jann (2010)
Catch up
Catch up
Brother catch us if you can
Cant catch our coattails
We leave crumbs in your hand
Like the gingerbread man
Because we watching no face
We make our own moves
We set our own pace
Catch up
Catch up
Brother catch us if you can
Cant catch our coattails
We leave crumbs in your hand
Like the gingerbread man
Because we winning the race
We in the front
Teeth skinning
We watching no face
I'm trying to catch up
Catch up to my plans
Catch me if you can
Like the gingerbread man
Because I'm running on my tip toes
Ducking and diving
My hat stay low
Laces tight
Keep striving
Nine to five-ing
Legit life living
When life try get me caught up
I can't give in
Because schemers trying to catch me
With their trifling plans
But I float like cream on the surface
Never stuck in a jam
Illusionists keep trying
To disillusion me
Fake personalities
Keep pushing fake schemes
But it's all daydreams
So I stick to the truth
Can't commit to a cause
Until I see real proof
People trying to tell me
Brother just do it one time
Just try it one time
And it'll all be fine
But my minds design
Can't let me get caught
Because I value my time
And my life can't be bought
'Keep Keeping It'
Produced by Alex Jann (2010)
Keep writing, Keep rhyming
Keep thinking, Keep working
Keep reading, Keep learning
Keep them ideas burning
Keep moving, Keep hitting
Keep riffing, Keep spitting
Keep cutting, Keep running
Because it's hiphop we're living
I'm up early creating
So there's no time to loose
Time is of the essence
So I'm moving on grooves
Putting pen to paper
Anytime I get a minute
But there's always more thoughts
So my rhymes never finish
Like Popeye with the spinach
The beats get me inspired
Spitting people power rap
Is my only desire
Because the fires that fuel
My imagination rage
So I need another beat
And I need another page
And I need another pen
And I need another pan
I need another studio
And I need another lab
I need another minute
To finish writing my rhymes
I can't dwell for too long
Because there's never enough time
Spill my mind on the track
With my heart in my mouth
Trying to decipher my surroundings
What this life is about
Because I know it ain't money
And I know it ain't fame
Trying to figure out the answers
While I'm playing this game
'Long Time Coming'
Produced by Alex Jann (2010)
Been a long time coming
Now we live in effect
Turn the headphones up
And get a microphone check
SuperStead and SUFFICE
They call us SuperSUFFICE
Back to back classics
We twice as nice
Super SUFFICE
Double trouble
Double bubble
Hot tracks
Been a long tome coming
Since a few years back
We collided in the studio
I was dropping it hot
But I didn't really realise
How deep SUFFICE was
But then I heard the flow
And then I got to know
Next thing we're tearing tracks
Next thing we're tearing up shows
From south coast to London
Through the rain and the snow
To sunshine in paradise
The other side of the globe
Now it's two thousand and ten
We back at it again
Because the vibe still remain
And the love still remain
So I feel no pain
With SUFFICE at my side
I know the tracks stay tight
And the message remain right
Rep' Karma Collective
We conscious and strong
Out of sight
Not out of mind
We living on through our songs
So we keep pushing on
Super SUFFICE still down
Still down for the cause
So we staying around
'Nah Mean Remix' (2010)
Peace
Love
And no police
The world's rich
We should be living like kings
Keep spitting truths
Heavy on the scene
We keep it moving
And we keep it clean
Karma collective
And the family friends
Rep' for Marley's
And their family friends
Rep' for love
Because our lives depend
Peace
Love
And people power
Until the end
I spit raw darts of truth
That will unravel rappers
And expose the truth
I'm the living proof
Born from unity
There's pure love inside of me
My eyes wide open
And my mind is free
Nah mean
I spit knowledge on the tracks
Relate home truths
Through these bars and these raps
Because these whack cat rappers
Trying to kill the game
But real cats with real knowledge
Keep speaking my name
Nah mean
I rep' for love and peace
Because the streets stay hot
We're trying to avoid the beast
Trying to avoid the heats
Trying to avoid the haters
We on the right track
They could never forsake us
Nah mean
I keep it crystal clean
No warrants on my head
I stay tight at the seams
Because things ain't what they seem
In this man made monopoly
So I strive for unity
And push positivity
'Regardless'
Featuring Ivan Gila (2007)
We bang these tracks regardless
Industry's gone soft
But we work the hardest
Sweating over brand new beats
And hot rhymes
They say hip hop's dead
But there's much more time
We bang these tracks regardless
Industry's gone soft
But we work the hardest
We climbing steep hills
But we stay on the grind
The underground's still alive man
Seek and you'll find
Since young one's
We've been feeling the soul
Staring at stars
Always loved the flows and melodies
Hooks and bars
Now we're writing bars
Jamming
Flipping hooks and riffs
Humming with the bass lines
High hats and kicks
We rep' for conscious people
Thinkers
Philosophers
Scholars
Creators
Innovators
Inspire us
So much trouble in the world
But we riding the wave
We keep it on the low
In these times and days
Like a heart rate monitor
We never on the flat line
Always on a new beat
Always on a new rhyme
If music was a sickness
We'd be terminally ill
The doctors saying cut down
But we bang the beats still
This musical movement's
Running wild in the street
But there's no love
And people running wild in the street
We need to stay on our feet
Make moves and maintain
Life keeps moving man
Things never stay the same
SUFFICE - 'No Diamonds' demo (2013)
Produced by Magnum Larry
Featuring LYONS aka SuperStead
I move like dice in casino's
Rolling
First and only son from my father
Golden
My rhyme book like a black eye
Swollen
Like game shows I'm the answer
Chosen
I can't stop
I'm a rhythm killer
Always talk real talk
That's why they call me RILLA
Lock down lyrics like prison
Bars
No beef talk
Go go gadget
Arms
No charms
Big beads on my neck
Don't need bank books
I keep my karma in cheque
Show respect
Or get nothing but air
Like British airways
I keep my brainwaves clear
RILLA man
For my people I'm fighting
Strike down babylon
Thunder
Lightning
It's frightening
We're trying to escape
Searching for truth
In a world that's fake
SUFFICE - 'Vibe Like This' (2016)
Featuring LYONS aka SuperStead
Super
Meddle with the pad
And the pen
It's that time
SuperSUFFICE again
It's them rhymes
Light up the dancehall again
Capturing thoughts
Catch up with my friends
Still stuck in the ends
Unsigned cheques
No cheques for new Benz
Unsigned hype
We're making new trends
But police still stop and check
Me and my friends
No time to watch them
Because we've got a next show
On stage at ten
I'm that guy
Ready to go
Tell me when
Just turn up the mic
In the mix and blend
Splen...
Did he just say that'a
Two sugars up in my tea
A mad hatter
Now long ting'
We skip the chit chatter
Party all night
Like it just don't matter
SUFFICE - 'Don't Watch Me' (2014)
Featuring LYONS aka SuperStead
Sometimes
I got too much time
And too much rhymes
Got too many inspirations
Spinning around in my mind
Got too many different melodies
And too many vibes
Got too many thoughts
Trying to manifest in time
Can't keep up with myself
But I'm spoilt for choice
Can't contain trains of thoughts
From hip hop boys
Can't complain
Because I'm blessed
With my brain and my voice
But feel pain
So I speak
With my heart in my voice
Rappers going in hard
The videos on smash
Snap backs might be back
But it's still about cash
Little room in the mainstream
For old school rap
But I keep it revolutionary
Bring the love back
Because this city
Pretty gritty
It can harden your heart
Police sirens
Helicopters
Hear the dogs bark
But bright sparks through dark
Like roses through concrete
You could ride
You could die
Or you could rise
In these streets
SUFFICE - 'Ready To Go' (2014)
Featuring LYONS aka SuperStead
I'm in this every day
But people breaking rules around me
Trying to close my circles
But snakes still surround me
Clutching all my straws
Haters want to take them off me
Police protect and serve
But they still come harass me
Allow me
Life give me a little space
But there's no space
And people always in my face
My heart race
Blood burn with fear
When I feel that the end
Of my life is near
Escape on my black and white bike
Through the hood
Man are up to no good
So it's far from all good
And it's far from all love
When hungry teeth are trying to eat
Nobody's untouchable
They'll lift you off your feet
Get taken off the street
And buried six feet deep
Or get locked up in the slammer
And throw away the key
Fly or die society
We're trying to grow our wings
Feathers flapping
Brothers falling
While the birds still sing
'Do For Love' (2014)
Featuring LYONS aka SuperStead
Steal a glance
The look of love
Look me in my brown eyes
In the ocean of emotion
We struggle and surf tides
We make and break ties
Heart beat
Heart skip
We live and loose life
Pretty pictures
And flowers adorn
What fate will await
When we're finally born
Scorn the devil
Because love burns strong
But relations suffer
When the motives are wrong
Turn and twist
Medusa snake pits
Black and white lies
We sense things amiss
A list
B list
See you when I see you
Roll with real people
And treat them all equal
Hearts pour out
Words become reasons
Speak with emotion
Share deep feelings
We dreaming
Asleep or awake
Drifting away
While I stare at the page
