[Intro] The industry revolution Is a new kind of movement And the fans want to hear it But the labels won’t listen, woah The industry revolution Is the song on your system And you’re sick of the same thing And you don’t need no witness (No you don’t) ‘Cause you’re skipping your playlist, woah (Yeah, yeah) The industry revolution Is a new kind of movement And the fans want to hear it But the labels won’t listen, woah The industry revolution Is the song on your system And you’re sick of the same thing And you don’t need no witness ‘Cause you’re skipping your playlist, woah [Break] Hard to say where the scene’s gonna be in a few years, you know?
 Every country has like a really cool underground scene
 Young kids looking to make their mark and I feel like I see the Sydney music scene continuing to thrive There definitely does need to be a change, a shift musically somewhat
 LENNY WHEN THE BEAT DROP [Chorus]
 Fuck the system, yuh Fuck the system, yuh Aye, yuh, bitch, yuh Fuck the system, yuh
 Fuck the system, yuh
 Aye, yuh, bitch, fuck! [Verse 1] I am the shit I am the kid I am the bitch I am the revolution I am the voice I am the new I am the best I am the revolution Fixated on the movement Need improvement Cut the bullshit It’s some bullshit Bring it back The break of dawn I’m sick o’ being bored Pulling up the begging beggar For the peeking bedder You ain’t the shit You ain’t the kid You ain’t the bitch You ain’t the one that’s gonna make it You ain’t the voice You ain’t the new You ain’t the best You ain’t the one that’s gonna make it ‘Cause it’s forsaken God sakes man My soul’s heavily taken I’m only trying I’m just saying I’m just saying This industry lacks originality On the phone with MJ’s and Jay Z’s The Kendrick’s will say the same thing And the haters will tell me I’m hating And all of the rappers from SYD Will say that they don’t notice me Rocking on the mic crazy Wait till they scream out ‘Lenny’ Watch out, send me It’s the same 808, sadly It’s the same beat, sadly I’ll change the game accidentally Reach the scores and the academies Let me break the sounds and the mentalities You ain’t shit, you ain’t got originality Revolution not be televised, only for the Grammies Goddam with it [Chorus]
 Fuck the system, yuh
 Fuck the system, yuh Aye, yuh, bitch, yuh Fuck the system, yuh
 Fuck the system, yuh
 Aye, yuh, bitch, fuck! [Verse 2] Mama told me not to chase the vision Probably ‘cause the vision was scary But I know that I’m a visionary Delusional but Imma keep daring Papa told me to alter my mission Probably thinks I’m blind staring Said make a money but I’m not caring The end vision is all that I’m wearing Produce the song Write the song Mix the song Record the song That’s me alright Rap the song Play the song Sing the song Master the song Fuck, you can’t do that Don’t tell me your shit is unique Same shit that I heard in 2018 Every artist is slowly fading, keep me waiting For a change that’ll save them Now with limitless possibilities Is it possible that they lack creativity? What happened to music that was legendary? Maybe people forgot a musician is meant being inspiring Why’s the music not exciting? Why isn’t anybody even trying? The crying inviting the fighting The party’s deciding to keep on lying, damn Idea in my head, I make the song Talk a lotta shit, I make the song Can you do better? I make the song Get off my dick, I make the song Make the words long You can’t sing along I can’t fathom wrong I can take you on Lenny’s on the beat I got him taking on another feat He cannot reach defeat For he’s chosen to be the next prophecy Goddam with it [Chorus] Fuck the system, yuh
 Fuck the system, yuh Aye, yuh, bitch, yuh
 Fuck the system, yuh
 Fuck the system, yuh 
Aye, yuh, bitch, fuck!

[Refrain] Waste my time Race my time Pace my time Space my time It’s all mine All my choice All my voice All my rhymes [Verse] Bashful and unabashed The balance of how we act The balance of beams Gleaming like sun- Beams when I’m done Reams of paper got wasted On filing my inner nature Natural recycler repeating my history Wishful thinker keeping some mystery Testing the waters at boiling point You make more money but I make my point [Refrain] Waste my time Race my time Pace my time Space my time It’s all mine All my choice All my voice All my rhymes [Outro] All my shine All my life I’ve been living like your expectation impatient I grow like bamboo in your basement Face it, there’s DNA traces But I’m my own man

[Verse 1: ATTIA] Can you see me? Can you save me? ‘Cause I’ve been braving Too many demons (Demons) Do you love me? I don’t know what that means, anyway (What that means) Can you help me? Can you tell me? ‘Cause I’ve been searching Feeling so worthless Is you not trying? I only make human mistakes But I believed in love When I was dreaming of sunless days And you don’t know what that means anyway How can you save me? (Save me) Can you see me? I’ve been searching Too many demons I’ll say that I love you, babe I just don’t know what that means, anyway It’s just something that I say, yeah (Something that I say) I just don’t know what that means, anyway It’s just something that I say It’s something that I say [Verse 2: LENARD]
 Aye, yuh, yuh Spirits and angels I see Open the gates I’m down on my knees
 Aye, yuh, yuh The blessings have now been a curse Tell the whole world to get off my nerves No need to elaborate, investigate The trauma has been set up as a bait Can seem to altercate, I’m on the way To serve my anxiety on a plate Tried to self medicate, it instigated A time that I didn’t appreciate Bitch it ain’t time to cut the pain Throw my name under the bus to celebrate I want to make it sacramental Holy water is in the kettle Burn it up and turn the pedal Demon talking got me feral Wither walking on my mental Why you mocking all my medals? Looking up and down the levels Tear it up and burn the letters Process pain, become a menace Go insane, behold the madness Cry the same beside the sadness Acid rain betray the iris I don’t know why I am like this Hold me up, I need some kindness Almost there I’m going mindless Twist my tongue, I reached the highest YUH! [Epilogue: LENARD] They won’t divide us Held right down with straight aligners Caught in the virus Shot him down, then came the violence Stuck in the climate Smog the light and change the mirage Do you see the signage? None these votes can change the planet

[Intro]
 Put it on my body
 Baby, show me all your worst Put it on my body
 Baby, show me all your worst
 (I just don’t give a-) [Verse 1: Jessica Lollato] I was wasting my time like you did care No patience or road how to get there I was falling apart trynna chase you Lord knows it ain’t with the breakthrough Gave you one too many chances I run back no hesitation So bad but you feel good
 Is it me or you that’s misunderstood? [Pre-Chorus: Derik Madrid] And I can’t find (Can’t find) Another reason to believe that it’s worth the fight (The fight) And you don’t try (Don’t try) But find excuses why we shouldn’t make these things right, oh yeah [Chorus: Jessica Lollato] You don’t play nice I can’t tell why Working overtime Just to please your mind No I won’t bite This just ain’t right (This just ain’t right) Got nothing left to hide (No) But now you not in my sight Let you in my mind
 That’s where you reside I won’t put up a fight [Verse 2: LENARD] I was wondering if we’re Getting along, getting along? ‘Cause it seems like we won’t might
 Change this around I won’t tell you Otherwise, otherwise ‘Cause I want to see your side I won’t waste your time So why am I playing, playing, playing? Why am I trying, trying, trying? To process all the things Erase you from my mind Still crying, crying, crying Why am I giving, giving, giving All my time? To things that don’t
 Even matter anymore [Pre-Chorus: Derik Madrid] And I can’t find (Can’t find) Another reason to believe that it’s worth the fight (The fight) And you don’t try (Don’t try) But find excuses why we shouldn’t make these things right, oh yeah [Chorus: Jessica Lollato] You don’t play nice I can’t tell why Working overtime Just to please your mind No I won’t bite This just ain’t right Got nothing left to hide But now you not in my sight Let you in my mind
 That’s where you reside I won’t put up a fight [Outro]
 (I just don’t give a-)

[Intro]
 I got love for my brothers, facts
 (The ghost inside the brain) [Chorus] They don't really know any better Can't believe I listened to what they said Oh, their ears are dead, yeah Put their mind off for the weekend Now they’re telling me to do the same The ghost inside their brain, yeah [Break]
 Bitch, yuh [Verse 1] But I never took a psychedelic Just to figure out why I am trippin’ Through this life that I be living I be sipping on the ceiling Just to figure out my feelings And this pain that I am dealing with another day Could make me go insane and it’s like Blood dipping on the brush I think I had enough Dark colours fill the palette Canvas be looking rough The vision be looking rough Clouds calling on the cuff (Yeah) Almost finished up the drink (Uh) Almost coughed up the stuff Isn’t it enough? The pressure has been filled up to the half Your choices, your voices don’t make it any easier to sleep I’ve only got myself to keep Only me understands the weep in me My parents only keep the feed in me As they carry out scrutiny As they keep score, penalty As the hold me back, mentally Placed a demon, anxiety Vomiting out insecurity Let them talk condescendingly Our son is a blessing So why’s he stressing? He’s not built for the music industry DAMN [Chorus] They don't really know any better Can't believe I listened to what they said Oh, their ears are dead, yeah Put their mind off for the weekend Now they’re telling me to do the same The ghost inside their brain, yeah [Break] 
Let me tell you about it
 Some new rap shit [Verse 2] Everyday’s the same story Flee the argue, I keep mourning What the hell they decoding? Why do I feel like I’m falling? Why do I feel no one’s supporting, My music and my stories? Is my shit fucking boring? When will people say they’re sorry? Put my heart out on the line, Just to kill the time, Flip the pages and the rhymes Get a job, get a life Set your opinion to the side But I’ve tried many times But the rest of the norm Walk around with hearts torn No purpose when they were born This match can’t be dimmed, only worn Woven in the fabrics, it happens
(Woven in the fabrics, it happens) Waving the magic, it’ll sharpen (Woah, wooh) Separated by decisions, I made seven I need to fill up my tank, went to eleven
(Oh, and you’re telling me?) Go to the future and tell momma I made it (I made it) But all that I got are words wrinkling pages (Woah) Go to the future and either I’ll be in heaven Or rock on the mic and jump all the stages [Break]
 OH MY GOD Ooh, what you talkin’ about, baby? [Chorus] They don't really know any better (No they don’t) Can't believe I listened to what they said (Oh what they said, yeah) Oh, their ears are dead, yeah (Oh, their ears are dead) Put their mind off for the weekend (Put their mind off for the weekend) Now they’re telling me to do the same (Do the same, yeah) The ghost inside their brain, yeah (Yeah, I said the ghost inside their brain)
 (The ghost inside the brain)

 (They’re stupid, oh oh, yeah yeah) (Mmhm, Mmhm)
 (They’re stupid) [Chorus: Bella Rose] At night you dream That everything you need Is sitting on your bedside table At night I scream That I can’t sleep a wink As I'm pushing down all the daggers At night you dream That everything you crave Is sitting on your rainbow palace At night I cry as I look up to the sky And realise I don’t get to dream [Verse 2: LENARD] Dark space Had my head in a bad place Wrapped around in the cruel ways Don’t tell me that it’s okay, that it’s okay Helped out Called the helpline when I fell down, yeah But now I’m 21 smoking psychedelics, goddam Looking at my wrist, oh man Had enough of this, oh same Reflecting on the shit, old pain Trynna clear the mist, wrong game Won’t I make a good soul? A good soul And now I’m 21 smoking psychedelics, goddam [Pre Chorus: LENARD] Lost in sight cannot find the other way outta here (Ooh, ye-yeah) Made a bucket just so I can carry all of my tears (Ooh, all my tears) Lacking patience has me timing out the rest of my years (Ye-yeah) Cut the chains, see if that’s gonna make me move (Sickly falling, can’t afford it) 
 [Break]
 (Yeah, yeah, Mmhm)
 (They’re stupid, oh oh, yeah yeah) (Mmhm, Mmhm) (They’re stupid)
 Okay, you got it Coming up [Chorus: Bella Rose] At night you dream That everything you need Is sitting on your bedside table At night I scream That I can’t sleep a wink As I'm pushing down all the daggers At night you dream That everything you crave Is sitting on your rainbow palace At night I cry as I look up to the sky And realise I don’t get to dream [Outro: Bella Rose & LENARD]
