Protagonist

Naysayers, gavel holders, gate keepers, treasure hoarders
Like in every story told, there is always a plot against the protagonist
And just as the many stories go, in the end we can have only the protagonist

Links, rings, whips, hunnies and cheese
All of the rapper aesthetics that made me to go up and Google the fee
I had to realise the dream, splitting the diff from the wants and the needs
I swear that I came here to break down the door cause I already know I'm the key

And you know I'm playing for keeps
Taking down names on a list,
You know that I fight to be free
Sarafina with a fist
But freedom is coming, relax buoy
Now is the time for the east
I pull up and look like a dough boy
How I'm raising the bar like I'm yeast
I promise that we're gonna eat

Firstly, I cancelled on something to prove
That should be out there, it's best if you knew
I had some angels and demons on both of my shoulders
All begging a Maestro to choose

Didn't you think that it's soon to assume?
I'm back with the picture, I need you to zoom
I'm not with my dawgs but you know I'm an alpha
It's highly likely I howl at the moon

I don't have connections or money or people that hype up my skill
I'm still in rubbles, I came here to build
You should beware of the power I wield
The fortune of life is just based on a wheel

My eyes are still dry from the milk that was spilt
Some pillows are soaking because of the guilt
Ironic enough that I told you that sleeping on Maestro will heavily mess with your feels

I don't even think that I care how it feels
Validation always been for the weak
But then I've been there, I know how it feels
I swear that I hope you'll be good in a week

Getting some dubs, getting your wins
The sky is the limit, I won't clip your wings
I'm such a good guy, I know that you see.
You'd be dumb if you mistake it for weakness

Links, rings, whips, hunnies and cheese
All of the rapper aesthetics that made me to go up and google the fee
I had to realise the dream, splitting the diff from the wants and the needs
I swear that I came here to break down the door cause I already know I'm the key

You know I'm playing for keeps
Taking down names on a list
You know that I fight to be free
Sarafina with a fist

But freedom is coming, relax buoy
Now is the time for the east
I pull up and look like a dough boy
How I'm raising the bar like I'm yeast
I promise that we're gonna eat

Yeah
We're gonna eat
I tell that to Tsaki, to Tshepi, to Thando, in the mirror I tell it to me
Yeah man
I have to be free
They know
Some of them see it
But some of them already sold out
I witnessed my foenem just give up the dream
That's sad
But I wanna eat
And it cost a fee
Not only just saving but also investing in everything me
Aww man
So Read it and weep
Aww man
The title you see
Aww man
The story I tell is so blunt
You'd think that I took it from Emtee and Reece

I promise I'm ducking the tucking of people just sleeping on me
The artist is starving so hungry I'm seeing mirages of meat in a beat so I eat
I'm fed up so feeding for comfort and stress on a beat is a beef, I let it be
The skill is adept, to the T
The talent is still at the brim
The letter that stands as the sixth
They'll never use it with me

Be careful while putting together your rhymes
Most of them curse in their lines while they lie
I know that they're living the fakest of lives
I know that you like them, you're just like the guys

They said it's a jungle and now I'm beast
They say how I used to be low-key and meek
I'm not validating your concept of me
Give me a beat and I'll be who I be, the protagonist

The protagonist is the leading character in a play, film or novel,
The main character
Welcome to Characters
