Lights, camera, action It’s Mean ready for action I’m back for the attack This class is now in session Now, don’t play pretend if you don’t understand This is lyrical philosophy from the brain to the pen So bow down and kiss the ring Still dressed in designer things I only speak about top dollar Never popped a collar Pop a pill to ease the pain that the world brings I’m spending money on all these gold things / My soul sinks That’s how my soul sings Hear my soul sing And as my soul sinks I drown in sins for better things by any means necessary This shit is legendary Don’t gotta wait for it Imma give it to you live / No TNT ‘Cos I’m a VIP and I’m the MVP Bitch, I’m the king of the throne No one can step to me From the front to the back of the castle I’ve got my knights from the templar Boy, don’t you mess with a rascal Come take a step, imma tackle ya Don’t step in the ring You messin’ around with a king Armored and ready to bring Pain with the rest of the team Get with the scheme We hustlin’ hard for the cream Lights, Camera, Action Lights-Lights, Camera, Action Strike a pose / Snap a pic Come get down where the action is Boy, don’t you know I’m a fashionist Got a little bit of this and a little bit of that Boy, you messin’ with a beast on a little bit of crack You ain’t fuckin’ with the steez and I couldn’t give a crap Get down with the rat pack and I roll With a fat stack and the back of the row Better step back, watch your act and I go Imma clap back with a gat to your dome On my worst behavior / So? I done been a bad boy for so long Don’t give a shit about anything But that paper game I got, so strong Go blocka-blocka ‘cos my sneaker game so proper Imma romper stomp ya if you’re lurkin’ in my corner On the road to the riches, there’s hits and misses I pick up the pieces / Be a witness I’m throwing disses to all the bitches Don’t worry ‘bout it, I’ll make all the ends meet I’ll put up a fight ‘cos I won’t admit defeat /Mean [Scratches]

But I know I gotta play the cards right If I wanna get to live this life ripe And it’s like I’m caught in a knife fight with the limelight I’m bound to get blindsided by the dime right Just waiting for the moment till I get to shine bright Yeah that’s right / I’m in flight Nobody’s holding me down I’m at the top of the throne / Nobody’s snatching this crown You a clown / If you think that you ‘bout it What you want / Yeah I got it Never living by the code, no Popping bottles in the boat, though Coppin’ labels by the load, bro On the road to the riches / Taking pictures, put it up on Instagram Hash tags with my name on, yeah bound to get likes in an instant, fam Now I’m living the dream, if you don’t know what I mean Better not fuck with the team Gold on my wrist, I walk with a lean ‘cos I got that cream, Na’mean?

Emotions 04:08
[Verse 1]: Oh Lord, Forgive me for my sins / Amen Take a step in my sneakers and feel the pain that I’m in Try to go through what I’ve been through Been to hell and back and then back again Go and tell your friends that I’m back again (Na’mean) All these emotions in motion / I’m lost in the struggle for most Running for power / Devour / Nothing but a man with the woes Out for the paper / Later, hater / Go pay the posse deposit Up in the studio looking basic / Holy Grail in the closet Imma get it right / you know that I get it, right? Now it’s all about the paper / Shit is getting so retarded Couldn’t care about the penny back when I was getting started Now I’m hungry for the cheddar Tryna fill up all the pockets (Drop it) [Chorus]: All of these emotions in me is lost and I’m trying to find it I’m not what I’m trying to be I’m losing control And I really can’t hide it I’m feeling divided and I can’t even fight it I’m feeling divided When I’m all alone and I’m feeling so low With all these emotions in me [Verse 2]: I want way more than I can have but the truth is… I gave all that I have left I can’t do this no more / See imma lose it for sure I’ve been so depressed that I’m all alone Tryna fill the void / I get in the zone I said “bitch don’t kill my vibe” “bitch don’t-bitch don’t kill my vibe” I’m just tryna get this money / Negativity aside / That’s right Enough with the stressing / I’m counting my blessings So sick of this life that I’m messing up Enough with the haters / I’m thinking ‘bout paper All I wanna do is just stack it up I drown myself with that liquor / I don’t really care what you think It don’t matter where the juice from / I just really wanna do things Can’t afford to have a slip up / Gotta tighten all the shoe strings Man you really gotta keep up / Better bow down to the new king [Bridge x 2] Been on a high but I’m still on the low Running in circles I’m out of control Keep running and running / I’m at it again I’m trying to heal but I’m feeling the pain [Chorus]

[Verse 1]: You don’t know what I’ve been through Man, I really got issues Aren’t we all so quick to judge Try walk around in these shoes What’s life about? Win or lose Right or wrong / Ain’t it right? It ain’t easy to pick and choose Thought I had it all figured out Tryna win a battle I was bound to lose For what it’s worth, I was working out What it is, I was tryna prove Ain’t got nothing to lose I’m giving it all that I’ve got Life’s like a Friday night So why not just give it a shot Think I can take a hit Gimme just a little bit Of time to take control I’m writing up a movie script Well now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m still wide awake Light a cigarette now my mind is still up for debate Guess I’ll just leave it to fate and live another day I like awake in the cold with a heart full of hate [Chorus]: With a heart full of hate On a journey to the west I’m going out of my mind Won’t you give me a sign? God, won’t you give me a sign? Won’t you give a sign? I’m going out of my mind With a heart full of hate On a journey to the west I’m running out of time I’m going out of my mind Won’t you give me a sign? Won’t you give me a sign? God, won’t you give me a sign? I’m going out of my mind [Verse 2]: So back track when I rapped with a backpack “Get stack” was the motto with the rat pack “In Flight” took off like a jet pack Been sleeping on me? Better grab that Ain’t got no time for these wack cats And no, I don’t give a damn ‘Cos on the low I’ve been on a roll I’m on the road for the honor roll When really I should be in search of a soul But lately I’ve been busy digging for gold So, will you tell me what is truly the goal? I’ve lost sight of what’s wrong and right I’ve been shut blind by this limelight By this limelight / Damn right It’s a fine night Air tight / In flight / Damn right I’ve lost sight of what’s wrong and right I’ve been shut blind by this limelight I’m on a journey to the west In search of myself I just wanna be the best The best for myself Myself ‘Cos I only want the best The best for myself

The project is a follow-up to his 2013 "In Flight" EP which is a musical trip laced with a distinct blend of hazy hiphop beats and rhymes. NSFW is an evolved extention of his signature sound and continues the journey to further explore the inner workings into the mind of Mean as a person and artist. The soundscape is mainly sculpted by himself along with various beatmakers from H Y B R D T H R Y, a community of genre-bending musicians and bedroom producers. On the rap front, Mean aims to further cement himself as an rhymesayer that continues to push the boundaries in terms of lyrical dexterity over a vast array of sonic bed.

Guest features includes fellow up and coming rapper; G-Preme on "Time Will Tell". Elusive musical enigma; F A U X E, lends a hand with production and vocals on "Take Me". Female rap counterpart; Deeranae shares her views on "Basic". Fellow comrades and labelmates from The.XS Collective such as; Ilohshix, Azrael, Maddie, Young & NoEyeDear jumps on rap posse cuts that is synonymous with the .XS camp.

NSFW will be available across various digital distribution platforms. The rare limited edition physical formats will exist as a premium Black "Vinyl" CD and exclusive USB Card. The 12-tracks NSFW album is a body of work that serves as another leap for Mean's journey in music.
