Clean Slate (feat. Slicka)

EssCee Listen 2022 It's the start of a new year Got a lot of plans ahead I've gotta prepare Feeling this beat resonate through my whole body Can't think of anyone in the world who's gonna stop me Had a little trip the other day it left me confused Thoughts like bombs and I just had to defuse But there was still takeaways, nah it weren't a misuse Learning curves in everything could be what makes or breaks you Never let it break me but I'll let it break through And push me to the next level nah I can't just make do Can't make up as you go gotta set the foundations Not a doctor but I know I've still got the patience Ain't on the fake shit stick to what I do best Always spit the truth and I can say that with my whole chest Hoodie up jeans on yeah you know that's how I'm dressed Manbag on my side and I wear it like a fucking crest I'm always tryna make my bread rise no yeast Best know whenever I eat all my bros eat No one left behind would've thought I was 21 March 2020, not blackjack a black swan Told my bro to snap some pics like a chiropractor Getting all the different angles like a protractor He said he was a fan yeah like an extractor Told me this could be the start of a brand new chapter So I turn the page Was lost in my thoughts I needed a clean slate Don't wanna be like Sid stuck up in an ice age I need some sort of pump I ain't tryna deflate I've been on the bench but now I'm ready to play Just tryna let people know what I've got to say 13 I went France, all I heard was cliché Nowadays I know to listen to what my Marseille Thinking 'bout when I can be on my own level But J told me stay alert pride is the devil Always believed that things happen for a reason That's why I go hard even in the off season Times get tough but I just keep breathing Keep working to my goal cos I'm destined to achieve it Never gonna get there if I don't believe it Threw my dreams to the stars now I'm gonna retrieve it Don't wanna be outcast wanna be in selection So I choose my own path and talk with my reflection Keep a low profile cos shit spreads like infection Would think people were lawyers with the way they're objecting But that doesn't matter Everything's a scatter graph Got that belief then we'll see who they're laughing at Everyday making moves, nothing to lose I ain't a lil baby I don't got something to prove Making all these references don't make me a Sainte But with the bars I write plenty pictures I paint Can't call me Da Vinci still stick to the code Wanna be a king like Von and bring along all my bros 2 Years have flown by I've just been finding myself Processing what's around and working on my mental health And wealth Tryna figure out how to up it Writing bars I'm an animal but still not a muppet Got a long list of things well before I kick the bucket Open doors for myself walk through and then I shut it Doing this for myself that's the only way to put it Like a centre mid I've got no fear I'll get stuck in Yeah I come from the concrete jungle land of dreams These animals bark and bite each other tear And shred each others flesh for the sake of beef For a side of bread they let em bleed For the drip, pushing greens They mash and splash like gravy get a little crazy moving packs for p's Success ain't putting food on the table Or selling souls to a label Or flipping packs in the rain or Picking shifts till your grey or Waking up to the day Sour got work in hour So you can't savour the taste What a shame that you've been brainwashed into thinking That survival is the highest title You ain't brave you're chained afraid of those who break the cycle You ain't made it if you're slaving and your engines idle Still a pawn that pays to play the game don't feel entitled
