(x2) High Quality rap – 96 kilohertz baby Thought I didn’t come back, but you was seeing us baby It wasn’t wrong to expect, that you would be with us baby ‘cause I thought that in fact, you would believe in us This is brand new shit that has become open The flow is unbroken unpaused unspoken -> Last year I was announced for summer but I came in fall Complications…you should be happy that I came at all This is the new style, the new flow, the new words Spittin high quality shit, don’t know what you heard Here my voice in Hi-Def then I left You break down because it’s too much to digest Clinic patients scared of string arrangements Part two of the ancient rhyme of no patience All NATO nations put arms into placement When Tom Jeefs speaks after music deprivation Straight, No waiting, direct with no relations Loud Declarations, unmistakable like appellations Futile Demonstrations against the occupation Tom Jeefs back with new shit from the basement Brrat, on the pavement, hear what I say I took a Jet-setting pause so you could see where I stay In it deep…talking greedy Talk is cheap, walk is easy Yap, better believe me, I aim at you guys When you try to be above me, I lean to the side Fiend of the mic and I’m keen on the nine The underground scene is decent and mine Intricate Rhymes with no explanation One detonation wipes out populations Key coded and folded the lyrical Locksmith Nobody comes with the rhymes that I come with (x2) High Quality rap – 96 kilohertz baby Thought I didn’t come back, but you was seeing us baby It wasn’t wrong to expect, that you would be with us baby ‘cause I thought that in fact, you would believe in us

[Verse] I been betrayed and played on And player tryna hate on me? Best believe that is what it’s gon be But not with me I came out of the struggle alive Tell me who didn’t…guys just paid the ultimate price Weather you live your life with bud and drugs Staring outta barred windows becuz Ur fellas didn’t show you love If you got nothing to lose to try is only logical Cause everything is possible if I only tried to rock wit u We could have made it all Too bad you changed your mind boo Cuz with matches styles they couldn’t say that I out-rhymed you I wouldn’t try to, but you make up your own decisions In the end I don’t complain if it’s that what you was wishing We had the atmosphere of Irish pubs in the air And alternative flair accompanied the affair So it’s a sin to say that I’ve ever been one-dimensional I question you…what is the mission that you feel sent to? [Chorus] We know that it’s not as easy as we go For you it’s not too rough if we just play tough And do it like we did it before, rough and unsecure But I like to play with luck We know that it’s not as easy as we go For you it’s not too rough if we just play tough And do it like we did it before Cause motherfuckers know where we are [Verse] Now it’s kinda strange, all the clutching and lips touching Knowing it won’t work out, but carpe diem so fuck it Also those nights slowly start to hurt my budged We live like superstars but in our hearts we are rugged Big inventory and intertwined stories Kinda what I like but wonder how it’s gon be With everything that’s left we will probably wait and see While in the meantime you could come down and play with me! (hey!) Mary Jane, nobody is here to blame, Fairy tales Might as well…be with you outside or in a prison cell Kiss and tell, not at all, we keeping it on the low Doing what we got to while we keeping it on the go I’m just too good-hearted to play tricks on chicks Fuck with this and you will see, he here, that you missed Is all unnecessary and involuntarily bad moves You sittin in your past listening to bad tunes [Chorus] [Verse] You changed but you could say that I finally got what I wanted It first seemed surreal with all the pressure that’s on it But you kinda dishonest, especially to yourself Especially if you fuck with people who trying to help Especially if Tom Jeefs ain’t in your top five But not I, they looking at me crooked but fuck why They cockeyed, I could fuck em over but I’ll not try They can come at me any time… ‘Cause I will not hide So did I protect myself or did I protect you You know you wouldn’t do the same I’m sorry I test you You act like I think bout you day and even night Even like we gotta find out if this is even right Even fight over shit that isn’t worth it, not on purpose… But we know inside nothing truer that or words is So choose our relation and what do we represent The wrong thoughts go through my mind man, Where should this end? [Chorus]
5.	My Friend (feat. Ashleigh Munn) 03:00	lyrics	buy track
[Chorus, Ashleigh Munn] I remember way back then When music was my friend Always helping me Sticking about to the end Whenever life got hard That’s when the music would start Oh I knew from then That it was stuck on my heart [Verse, Tom Jeefs] Hear the beats, problems disintegrate He got reward but imagines what he could have made But everywhere abroad people don’t see the odds Nothing more than a drug, to escape from the thought And disaffection is when people start to get abusive And there is so much attention now I better use it I know I said this before, but I’ma say it again There is family, soundness; there is you and your friends And never put cash over anything but bullshit ‘Cause you might as well lose it And if you fight for it again, you fight and you win, Then still in the end, you got only material things To be happy you need to think what does it, and do it! If there’s an obstacle in your way, then you gotta move it And if the people doubt your plan, then you gotta prove it Never forget your self-evident friend, the music. [Chorus, Ashleigh Munn] [Verse, Tom Jeefs] You took your friend for granted, as they play him. But you know that if he vanished, you’d cause a mayhem They want everything for free, so they didn’t pay him They don’t care about his origin, they rather take him How would it feel, getting misused, and disproved And reduced to thoughts that were diffused, Without no time to collect your thoughts and justify, Sounded like a hurricane started by a butterfly If you was locked up, with one thing by yourself Wouldn’t it be something that could help you to find yourself? Wouldn’t it be something that could maybe redefine yourself? Maybe a track that would make you wanna rhyme yourself. Express opinions, widespread to millions Acoustically empower militants and civilians Its force is overwhelming, who are you to refuse it? Powerful enough to unite us all – the music [Chorus, Ashleigh Munn]

[Verse] What was called Hypenitis in 1998 Is now a common infection of every person in the state I’m too alternative to hate, rather debate Too mainstream to be overseen, too in the middle to be fake Perform in clubs from reggae DJ’s to real rappers On Radio with backup, a crossover matchup Be fast to catch up, lyrics go over heads, People are too uninterested to listen to what I said Never believe in lies until I’m on the other side Promoters quit the job ´cause I swim against the tide But I’m just doing mines I never arranged the rhymes That didn’t after some time just flooded out of my mind See I’m not that average illuminati HipHop puppet I know that you love it…everything I’m busting Has substance, you just need to open your eyes And trust it…then you’re gonna flow with the rhymes [Chorus] Now everything is gone that the people loved Every single song that was on the buzz Now we all cold and it’s really odd The devil had his hands in the play of god [Verse] I’m opening my window Feel the breeze waving past my arms with my face still buried in my pillow I can’t get up because it’s been a long night, The daily routine is calling, demotivation is a hard fight I’m in it; cuz my passion’s having hard times Till the finish lines, with rhymes from a far side When I combine, I could have thought about it right Instead of thinking way back in the dark of every night But this is painkiller part two - your misfortune - faggots tryna argue But not with me, I had a little education in hypocrisy Now if you wanna peep the real shit then come with me Dropping one song per day, into the library of Tom Jeefs Infinite archives underlay But hey – The world turns and we keep moving What they love nowadays was made to disprove em [Chorus]
12.	One Moment (feat. Godfrey Egbon) 02:45	lyrics	buy track
[Verse, Tom Jeefs] It actually just takes one single moment But time is an illusion so how could we know it And still it is limited, and everybody fears every Single second they live it…until they infinite But trust me, they punish me but also themselves Until doomsday and then they are waiting for help But I made it myself, I just use what I perceive Everything that I see, And make the best out of it, and I’m proud of it, and could I just live without it? I doubt it, cuz my life’s about it. You’re a part of me, and I’m a part of you I’m a part of God; and you’re a part of God too Now that’s what I do, the universe is due To energy and time, and so are the rhymes I come from design, let me introduce the unknowing To the mind-blowing To the showdown, because I know how it goes down What now? They wanna see the truth it’s been cut out Now probably the best to do is confess All the stress makes me a mess But as long as... [Chorus, Godfrey Egbon] I always know I want to go And I know what I got to show, yeah, And even now when I die I could be content with my whole life [Verse, Tom Jeefs] I just know that if I’m not blind I can learn from mistakes namely every single time But I will analyze as long as my name’s Jeefs And who said, we had to accept the truth as it seems? I remember walking with you…at sundown on the promenade talking with you, Now hand in hand, everything that we thought was in vain Was really not and again, I take a chance to start it over my friend Ask me what I am doing, I’m building a bridge and castle A new world for you, and you’ve heard it too Live from love and air, with fairy-tale adoptions A little paradise with new laws and options No more waiting on the way on a rainy day Like I wouldn’t have passed, cause I don’t wanna take away And I take away your pain, ease the life, it’s plain, I’ll even keep playing your game, but just as long as... [Chorus, Godfrey Egbon]
