Verse 1: My names Nics That's n to the I to the C to the S And I'm f'n up beats At the top of the mountain and I swear it's looking so peak But I ain't at my peak I'm going anywhere I can go My Pens got me armed like Rambo When I'm on stage I can make hands rise Kinda like the doors on a lambo Switch it Lemme change it up a little You over me you can stop with the jinles Talking how everyone should get up on your wave These times I can turn that straight to a ripple So don't even tempt me You don't know what I got Johnny even knows that I'm hot You would thought that I turned Rasta The way I got everyone dreading how I've got this on lock But its back to snapping back to rapping Pen clapping rat tatting Switch it up you can that I'm flexible I'm not the one to scrabble with You can see my wordplay is impeccable Last year I fell apart with my dreams This year I won't stop till' they say that I'm the best So don't sit there with your feet up And say you know what it's like to walk in my creps Pre-Chorus: I don't have to say it you should know what I'm about Killer with the flows and I'm lenging down shows Turned to the guy that you can't stop now Switch up the style but I ain't sold out Still the same Nics but the trims so loud Still discontent and I still don't care So if you don't know then let me spell it out (Spell it out like this) Chorus: I don't have to say it you should know what I'm about Turned to the guy that you can't stop now Still the same Nics but the trims so loud Still discontent and I still don't care So if you don't know then let me spell it out (Spell it out like this) Verse 2: It's N to the I ends with C S Come with a whole squad full of real G S Saying I won't make it you can stop with the B S I Smash Bros nothing like DS Talking bad on the snapchat It can get peak like a Snapback Should I make a hit or get a bat bat Pen pen grab that You look up to me in both ways You can have that Ah wait I'm a K to the I, L L to the E to the R Leave man with S to the CAR That's a P to the AR The way I bang B to the ARs Like woah that's H to the Ard I just skip on the riddim I double dutch it Your favourite rapper I can munch him You need to get back and stop fronting And realise Zero Space we just run tings Got tired of being runner up got some new creps Tell me what you're gonna do next I just be one step ahead now Coming like I've got a spare shoe left Look, man you're toast if I pop up and bread man Stop lying you're a yes man And I don't need the industry to tell me That my pen can just pop up and dead man Yes fam! Pre-Chorus: I don't have to say it you should know what I'm about Killer with the flows and I'm lenging down shows Turned to the guy that you can't stop now Switch up the style but I ain't sold out Still the same Nics but the trims so loud Still discontent and I still don't care So if you don't know then let me spell it out (Spell it out like this) Chorus: I don't have to say it you should know what I'm about Turned to the guy that you can't stop now Still the same Nics but the trims so loud Still discontent and I still don't care So if you don't know then let me spell it out (Spell it out like this)

Intro: They don't truly value my art What will it take for them to realise that these words that i speak They come from the depths of my heart, I can’t survive much longer with this mentality It’s creeping up on me, Breaking away at me a little more each day For these last few months my soul has done nothing but cry tears of pain I forever get caught up Trapped in the net of constantly feeling like I'm not doing enough Yet forgetting to look back and acknowledge how far I’ve come  Lord please guide me, Keep me on the straight and narrow I don't ever want to forget my purpose To become shallow Chorus: Woke up this morning feeling okay Pray to the lord please keep me safe I ain’t tryna lose my mind nah nah I’m just tryna be on my grind Feeling like the man of the hour right now So much power right now Feeling so wow right now Someone bring the loud right now Tryna be on clouds right now, right now Woke up this morning feeling okay Pray to the lord please keep me safe I ain’t tryna lose my mind nah nah I’m just tryna be on my grind Feeling like the man of the hour right now So much power right now Feeling so wow right now Someone bring the loud right now Tryna be on clouds right now, right now Verse 1: Innocent kid with these killers eyes So tell me what's it gonna take for you rappers to realise I'm not the one to play with Stop talking that you're hard Before I spray 1 million bars and show  You're sweet like the fragrance.  I've been working all day shifts  Staying awake when you sleep, Tryna ensure where I start you just peak I've been at it for weeks Talking to myself in my adlibs ‘Cos I'm the only one who seems to be backing me So, how long until people take me serious Man I swear if I don't make it You'll just catch me in my room  Talking to myself in a corner all dilarias Or praying with no answer so lord I hope you're hearing this,  I'm heading to church I'm getting better not worst Can you help me with this talent that to me is a curse Man I never come first The only time people hollas When they see me just tear up a verse  But it’s cool ‘cos I Chorus: Woke up this morning feeling okay Pray to the lord please keep me safe I ain’t tryna lose my mind nah nah I’m just tryna be on my grind Feeling like the man of the hour right now So much power right now Feeling so wow right now Someone bring the loud right now Tryna be on clouds right now, right now Woke up this morning feeling okay Pray to the lord please keep me safe I ain’t tryna lose my mind nah nah I’m just tryna be on my grind Feeling like the man of the hour right now So much power right now Feeling so … right now Someone bring the loud right now Tryna be on clouds right now, right now

Verse 1: Take me as I am I know this really didn't go to plan I know you're kinda with someone else But I thought you wanted a husband and not a man It's all perspective Yeah Im cheeky don't forget this  But I swear I'm never reckless Compare me to your exs I don't need to be put in check  I'm already ticking your checklist  I'm done with the talking so forget this  Let me take you out the Coupe And show you how to cope with a G  You and I know that your man is a Neek Add a S to the end and that's me But I'm a different breed  Loud trim can you hear that Your heartbeat I can feel that A broken heart lemme heal that Being alone in this world of deception I know that you fear that So I might just go o f the rail Man she so hot told her its you that I got I might just  go out my way   Take her cafe to go get some coco pops ‘Cos the Cereal killer is here May disappear with this girl for few years If I said that I got you I meant it Now this the track banging out on her setlist Chorus: You should take me as I am, ah yeah I see you with your man, its unfair ‘Cos he don’t do you like I could do And I’ve seen the things that you’ve been put through And that ain’t part of my plan, I swear Just take me as I am, girl come here I can be all you want and I know it babe You ain’t got to fall in love just come over babe And take me as I am Verse 2: So many things on her mind but there's not enough words for me to let it out  Probably too long over due she should probably just forget it now But it's not feeling like a burden  And I can tell this young girl here's been hurting From all her exs and it seems like she needs someone to put her back in check  I could be the person I could paint 1000 pictures with my words But it probably still won't be enough to even draw you What if i took you out for dinner told you you’re worth a meal And I told you it was coming from the core too? Now would that change your perception  I’ll show you guys out here are still a blessing  Taking you out for chilled walks Might be kind of dead but I swear it’s better than stressing now Pause wait We could go Cakes and Shakes We would of been the perfect match and set fire to the world but Its never too late so Now you’re on your “do what you like’ ish And you don't really care if he don’t like it You turned cold hearted so the beat you would ice it I told you this guy ain’t righteous Chorus: You should take me as I am, ah yeah I see you with your man, its unfair ‘Cos he don’t do you like I could do And I’ve seen the things that you’ve been put through And that ain’t part of my plan, I swear Just take me as I am, girl come here I can be all you want and I know it babe You ain’t got to fall in love just come over babe And take me as I am Outro: Take me as I am, just take me as I am ah yeah ah yeah Take me as I am, I said take me as I am just take me as I am I said take me as I am, just take me as I am (why do all good guys come last?)

Verse: Last night I met the girl I want to be with But she don't feel the same So I stay in my lane so depressing got me stressed Tryna let you know what’s in my brain So I'll sit on reserve I can't stand this Man I swear  I didn't plan this  Thought I had it with my tactics Thought we'd set fire to the world with no matchstick  But it ended tragic Next guy here full of Malice  Me heartbroken surrounded by words never spoken  Lemme take a sip of this potion  Forget about our wonderland in this place Where you were my Alice  But there weren't enough magic to keep the motion I weren't chosen heart frozen An ocean full of thoughts you won't see All because I couldn't be that type of guy you wanted me to be But I'd change if I needed to  You lead me on you weren't meaning too ‘Cos I'm so so closed  you didn't know if I was feeling you And that's a burden I'll carry See as long as your happy I couldn't care less for what I'm feeling Now we don't talk for my own reasons But I hope that can change like the seasons We clocked on when it was too late And it's the fact it was too bait  We can't even make change to a situation that we penny  Where the feelings were too great  I hope we don't lose faith As I walk around head down covering my mouth And a smile thats too fake   And a mindset too real I spent a lifetime impressing you  Man I always saw the best in you As I walked out the room lost hope cold feels You told me Dont Go That was the Wretch in you A conflicted mind all stressing you I can tell that it's real Man I’d be so pissed if I let this slip And no one in the world had a clue of how I feel  Too bad Ah lemme just jump on a set leng it down and go mad And show these guys that I'm still over here something like a do-rag  My hearts so cold lemme lose that Go try again why would I do that  Love coming in here tryna move back This ain't like me now that's a true fact 

about

I don’t talk much on my feelings. I'm pretty closed person who rarely opens up to anyone, making me hard to figure out but I still want to be noticed and easy to identify with, so I created this EP in order for everyone to understand 'Nics'.

Each track is written in the moment on how I felt and what was going through my mind at that period in time, making it a more organic and real experience. It touches on my relationship with music; how I felt like I was doing loads but would gain nothing from it. To my fun side; spraying bars on end without a care in the world and just enjoying making music. Thanks for listening.
