Ain’t messing with me By Meryem Saci Verse 1 Woke up this morning with a smile Today the world won’t won’t won’t bring me down I called up all my fam to spice up the jam We so fly with no wings Damn lets do this thing As soon as we hit the spot There’s always this hot shot Bragging non-stop about what he don’t got « I got a magic stick with tricks to bring you chicks to heaven » Stop fronting’ son! When you can barely handle one With your pants on fire You think you fly You got a car And bought the bar Flossin’ your ice To get some booty tonite right? 10 shots later, and you ain’t looking better But, ooh, wait! DAMN! Is that your friend? Chorus: Wait Wait Wait Wait It’s a shame Shit’s insane You get to keep it Jiggy baby You got your Colt 45, I got my 2 zigzags But if you don’t ease back, it’s the road you gon’ be hitting’ Jack! I, I, Ayyaaya Had the blues, but now I’m cool I’m getting loose in my boots Have my budda And my music And my people Alright Ain’t nobody messin’ with my mood tonite Verse 2 Stop, with all that stress you bring I got nuff’ trouble just tryin’ do my thing See my vision’s too expensive And my mission’s too ambitious For an African refugee to globally hit the top But if you really want to know the depth of my thoughts, Listen, let me break it down raw: We gotta get even, The innocent’s bleeding While deamons be living In the garden of eden The cops are deceiving The leaders be eating While children be dying of hunger Bullets are poppin’ The bombing ain’t stoppin’ My people are droppin’ Straight in a Coffin Reality is haunting We ain’t doin’ nothin’ We gotta get stronger Chorus: Wait Wait Wait Wait It’s a shame Shit’s insane You get to keep it Jiggy baby You got your Colt 45, I got my 2 zigzags But if you don’t ease back, it’s the road you gon’ be hitting’ Jack! I, I, Ayyaaya Had the blues, but now I’m cool I’m getting loose in my boots I got my people And my budda And my music Alright Ain’t nobody messin’ with my mood tonite

Pre-chorus It could have been simple babe If you owned up to what u said It could have been simple babe If you honored what we had It could have been simple babe If you didn’t play me for a fool But I was foolish babe Cuz I believed in you Chorus Breakdown Watch you go breaking my heart again Chorus

ON MY WAY MIXTAPE


“On My Way” relays countless hours of love, sweat and tears. This mixtape came together after a few years of writing and recording, while running between my day job and Nomadic Massive’s recording and show schedule. It is a full-length record, gathering the eclectic flavor of my influences. This mixtape is a testimony of urban contemporary sounds, seasoned with primal and traditional influences from my native Maghreb.
