Muigai Hakir: It's the Real It's the Real It's the... Uh, uh, uh uh Verse: The flow’s golden, like arcades taking tokens This old soul is, bringing solace to this soulless Genre, where the flows is all stolen See parts, like Moses, eroding, Keep it frank, no Sinatra; Ocean full of options Leader of the contras; My mantras haunt ya entourage at the concerts Microphone monster, screaming behemoth Going bonkers, sponsors spawn shirts For my tours so, my torso is wardrobed By their store clothes already tore so Many mics Speaking from the future, Speaking as the future of rap whose tracks attract Cool cats black panthers even cougars Smoking hookah with the smoothest Truth is this kid is ruthless, dreamer like martin luther Blind to the ignorance, pupil like rick the ruler's A pupil to rick the ruler, storytelling's in my madula Ever since Lisa left I've been hitting up the best buy's "I don't want no scrubs" I'm looking for the best buys Some music made with love, keeps it real and sends a message That people can relate to from bed stuy to the westside This next guy is destine to invest time in his best rhymes Till his stock rise like jock guys when freshman walk by Never talk lies, keep it real, not a gangstarr, peep premier With Hakir... you know the deal, it's the real It’s the real uh Word is bond Uh When I rock the microphone I can go on and on Like badu, Cause Imma fly dude OLD SOUL Hakir MC, baystater on the mic, where he’s meant to be 90s kid will eventually… takeover Earl, Nitty, Reema, Joey

All the labels finna want me… finna blow up, finna blow up Muigai Hakir: Different QB, same tunnel vision, no fission splitting him and his decision, Good riddens to the kiddlings not feeling the riddim, with him, ` he’s doubted, but still about it. It being getting more views on the soundclick, counting, every time he gave his sounds clicks, thinking he’ll get found quick, if the amount hits, high enough to get recognition from the higher ups to those who force it, I heed caution viewers who pay attention you already lost em they won’t favor Darth Vader light sabers under the player call em a hater but you’re still nothing major You got the game plan all wrong, all songs, fall on, the same day, gain the same plays, anyways If you had one wish, like Ray J You’d wish for one hit, like Ray J Waiting on a guy’s co sign like the lizard on a billboard, You’d kill for the chance to ask a wizard to help you get Cudi, a deal or skills for better music making… HA You can’t bring little heat, (Microwaves) And expect to gain fans, (Hype and Plays) On the radio, your job blows, fellatio Minimum wage, max hours, bad ratio Can’t wait to go on Macy’s floats, making toasts with the greatest foes, the moment that you waited for your still local, you hate it though you kick and push, Lupe hoping for some groupies you think your life’s a movie you bootleg not blue ray Either way you get the picture Somebody please give him elixir He really thinks he’s getting sicker And in his mind he’s gonna…gonna…

Muigai Hakir Chorus: Success, I want it, dedication is key, Keep trying till it opens doors for me Failure, uh uh not buying it I know, it’s not in store for me, There’s more for me, more to see, More to be before I’m in the morgue ya see And imma keep pushing till I make it… why? Cause, Cause I’m dedicated Verse 1: Since I was seven I’ve been clever with endeavors Involving several letters arranged and put together Each day better, sicker than leper, Hotter than leather, Jetta… interiors in Mecca weather Writing Poems, never roman, Claudius In my room, Home alone, McCaulaying it Spit soliloquys, I was my own, Audience A lusty virgin, to this poetic, Ambience Never pleasured, lines were booty, buried treasure Crumpled measures, wasted efforts in my dresser Start reciting, writings, Finding, Middle ground, between my sound and the written down, Progressing… Skills manifesting, Perfecting my craft till I’m incandescent Shining… on the heels of my heat …And surfing sound waves, in the street Chorus: Success, I want it, dedication is key, Keep trying till it opens doors for me Failure, uh uh not buying it I know, it’s not in store for me, There’s more for me, more to see, More to be before I’m in the morgue ya see And imma keep pushing till I make it… why?

Y-E-S I can switch up the flows, switch up the clothes Switch up the light, cus I’m on but never switch up the motives Keep going, till my problems eroding Second guessing is my only opponent Third times a charm but I won’t need it Since day one, I knew I would own it Now I’m dedicated, Gunning for the greatest Gotta do it BIG, For those who never made it And those who hesistated, living on the makeshift No focus... too lazy to make shifts In their life, know this right Notice right away, I’ve been working night and day I don’t have much time to play Check it, you need to be a t-rex to digest my big plans for conquest to be honest, I’m on this mission, to position myself for fruition, on the strength, of my diction, keep persistent Till my dreams… are non-fiction DEDICATION (repeat 12x) and imma keep pushing till I make it… why? Cause i'm fucking Dedicated

The Enemy 02:18
Muigai Hakir Verse: Seek and arrest from the moment they clock in Pigs stalking, claim I’m suspiciously walking Neck moves like an owl’s, shift to a jog and I’m out with no intentions of stopping Heavy breathing, blood rushing to my noggin’ Thought I was in the clear, got down a couple blocks when They had me cornered… Fence on my left, police took my rights, I’m blocked in Get out the car say they wanna do some talking Scan the area to see if anybody’s watching They Gucci, rush me, the scenes kinda shocking No resistance but used the taser to shock me Another angel fallen like Lucifer did It’s clear they put too much juice in the kid Corruption and peace in a deadlock years of dread locked in these dread locks, hope the death stops but they got it twisted, desert eagle spawns hissing past these hair twistys, bullets barely missing and when they’re hitting (hitting…hitting…) caution tape a fine line between dead and existing

Muigai Hakir: Cooking mashed potatoes for my frands, frands Arroz con el pollo for my frands (AMIGOS) Cornbread with samosa for my frands, frands C-C-C-Collard Greens too (too) Verse: Cooking up something To silence the stomach rumbling My lines will touch hundreds Of minds that were stuck in Dark times, eighteen hundreds The light, end of the tunnel At night, looking for trouble We fight, to end the struggle Violence cause destruction right now no need to rush in A third war, still preparing for it instead of trying to stop it quick to change the topic distract you from the conflict fill your mind with nonsense Unconsciously eating toxic We’re all sick, no longer pure Getting worse as we mature And they can save us from cancer, i'm sure. Problem is, there's no, profit in a cure... So there’s people dying Evil sirens, Holy violence People riot, starting fire Burning out then back to silence (BACK TO SILENCE) Pray to God, he’s fraud Is what they say, when he does not Answer their, little prayers then back to science (BACK TO SCIENCE) Stream of thoughts, flowing from my mental Why I need religion if my body is a temple? Body is a temple? uh uh uh uh stream of thoughts from my mental Body is a temple I’m schleep doe. ITIS
