Late Nights
"The vision for this album was to create a story about success, being bold & brazen, about making it to the 'top' despite all the challenges and odds against you. About working hard through the late nights, in order to be able to wake up next morning for the Cold Showers. Consider it a two-part album: Cold Showers represents the morning and late nights, well, represents demon time."

Front Cover
I wanted this album to appear sinister, alluding to the fact that I operate under the covers (hence the face mask, the blacked out eyes, and the hoodie). I think Lil Wayne said it best, "Real G's move in silence like lasagna." Ever since, I wanted to create an album that shows that side to me. The side that operates in the shadows, the side that people don't know of, because I tend to keep my personal victories to myself. The signature on the bottom right is the stamp to wrap it all into one steady flow of the pen, which is also representative of the pen I use to write my bars. Slick, clean, and straight to the point. Now you know...
Back Cover
Locked In is my entrance music. Picture me entering the gym ready to hit a new personal best, or going to the club in my dopest fit. I'm locked in, so I have to remind you that I am. Slow Motion is about earning the value of money, and the experiences it provided me with, along with the people I met. The song Uniqlo is an homage to the GOAT'd brand, but its light and airy sound creates space for a new Mohali to enter; a Mohali that is spaced out but still focused on the bag at hand. The transition to Night Rider is purely what it stands for, driving through the night at the fastest speed you could think of, but also my dreams of performing on stage & going to exotic places.
My personal favourite is Pensive Poet, whereby I wanted it to represent like a Slam Poem that doesn't have any particular rhyme scheme, and sounds almost as if I'm performing the poem in front of a crowd at a Poetry Show, talking about my life and the valuable lessons I've learnt thus far. On the last stretch of the album, 6ix Figures is purely about my dream about having six figures in the bank account, as we tend to get lost in the sauce of wanting millions. Pace yourself, and you'll get there. 2Face Freestyle are two seperate beats combined into one, but the flows are impeccable. It's called 2Face because one half of the song represents my life during the day, and the other side is in the night. Finally Back On Top is the story of overcoming all odds and to find yourself situated... back on top.
Lyrics
Locked In
Verse 1:
Let it rip, let it rip
Pull up on your block I got the fucking stick
You ain’t gotta tell me I’m the fucking shit
I be knowing that when I be making hits
Pull up on your bitch, she dancing diamonds on my dick, yeah
I be on the way up to her fucking crib, yeah
Now she laughing in my ears, tell me I’m the shit
Yeah I got it, yeah I got it, yeah I got it
Bitch you lost it
Bitch you better move up out my way, I’m bossing
Got the weight up of the world up on my shoulders, I’ll be honest
Never going back on what I said and what I promised
Time to get it popping
Time to snap up on this bitch and get the people talking
I know these fucking people see the clothes that I be rocking
And you ain’t never gonna see the end of me, I’m locked in yeah
Chorus:
Locked in
Locked in
Locked in
Locked in, Locked in, Locked in
What they locked in?
What they locked in?
What they locked in, locked in, locked in?
Verse 2:
Locked in, top ten
Boutta start a mosh-pit
Boutta go up to the city, boutta get it popping
Send the addy if you ready for the drop in
Think outside the box before you get all boxed
Lost up in the box and then you lost up in the sauce
Because I cut the fox in half and turned that bitch into the boss
I got the alligator dripping like it’s sold up at Lacoste
I go the water diamonds shipping across the ocean like it’s Voss
I got
I got whips up in the crib
Super simple living, it ain’t really more than this
You ain’t gotta worry how I’m getting where I’m at
All you gotta worry about is that I’m locked in, yeah
Slow Motion
Verse 1:
1, 2, 3 commando
3 deep in the Lambo
Knee deep in the bands hoe
Touch down in your end zone
All I needed was guidance
Spending money no mileage
Spending money in college
Thinking that I could do it all
Didn’t know how to go about it
So I went ahead and wrote about it
Learning life through a different vision
Different breed with the aim precision
Curving women that ain’t listening
Listen baby I’m your missing man
Blacked out but I’m glistening
Shining diamond with the pearly whites
Shining armour like a charming knight
It’s happening M. Night Shamalan
Running fast, Ramadan
Imma get it on, any day of the week, like
I’m taking a trip with the slow mo
I’m taking a trip to the snow globe
I’m skiing the hills with the hoes though
I glide in this bitch like I’m Frozone
Smoke in my lungs like I’m ozone
Buddy buddy now she bro code
Sipping liquor fucking 4 Loko
Shooting shots like I shoot GoPro
Shordie like me, she say “ooo mucho.”
I’m in the loop like I made loopholes
Who got a flow like me? Who knows though
Mohali winning like he knows though
He got a tape
He got a tape
Look at the way he setting the shape
Yeah, selling this shit
Yeah, set in this shit
Chorus:
I gotta take one step at a time like it’s slow-mo, slow-mo
Now she wanna ride the wave, now she gotta ride the ocean, ocean
All I ever knew was time, and now it slows down
Slow in motion, now I go and slow down
Slow in motion, now I go and slow down
Slow in motion, now I go and slow down
Verse 2:
Stick by the code
Popping a vessel, I let it reload
Stick by the rules
Play with my money, I’ll make you a fool
Pick or the piper, I’m snake and the viper, the money combiner
The money combusting, come bust in your bitch
I’m making a switch, to better the language and better the wrist, bitch
I’m sick of this shit, I’m sick of this shit
Sick of the fake fucks, I’m sick of this shit
Sick of the Benz trucks, I’m sick of the rich
There’s more to life than money in your palm
There’s more to life than money that you spent on these garms
Or money that you spent on these broads at the bars
Like the root of all evil, there ain’t no end
And if you see that, then you gon’ make amends
Uniqlo
Woop, woop
Chorus:
Rocking this shit like I’m rocking the Uniqlo
Plane Jane like I’m rocking the Rollie-O
Rocking this shit like I’m rocking the Uniqlo
Plane Jane like I’m rocking the Rollie-O
Yeah
Plane Jane like I maintain with the swish
Maintain like I’m back on with a bitch
Drip drip like I’m back on with this shit
Skrr skrr then I hop on in a whip
Skrr Skrr
Verse 1:
Yeah, right away to the drip
Now I’m next to the CN tower in the six
Playing this song in the whip and she tell me she loving the rap
Baby I used to like you, that shit is all in the past
Throwing it like I am Brady, that shit is all in the pass
You want to go and embrace me, that shit is all in the past
All in the past
All in my lap
All of the love of my lives
She know that she love me, she love me, she love me for nights
Chorus:
Rocking this shit like I’m rocking the Uniqlo
Plane Jane like I’m rocking the Rollie-O
Rocking this shit like I’m rocking the Uniqlo
Plane Jane like I’m rocking the Rollie-O
Yeah
Plane Jane like I maintain with the swish
Maintain like I’m back on with a bitch
Drip drip like I’m back on with this shit
Skrr skrr then I hop on in a
*Car revving*
Verse 2:
This is the Uniqlo drip
This is the Uniqlo drip that I got on my bitch
So plain, so simple, I got it popping like pimples
I’m smiling from cheek to cheek
She like how I’m smiling this shit with the dimples
You know that I like it, it’s simple and plain
I’m about to go hop in the back of the range
I’m about to go swerve all the lanes and I’m boutta go drop
Dropping the top
I’m swerving the lanes and I’m back in the spot
I’m boutta go right up, right back to the top
She know that she sliding her keys & she slide in the slot
Chorus:
Rocking this shit like I’m rocking the Uniqlo
Plane Jane like I’m rocking the Rollie-O
Rocking this shit like I’m rocking the Uniqlo
Plane Jane like I’m rocking the Rollie-O

Maintain like I’m back on with a bitch
Drip drip like I’m back on with this shit
Skrr skrr then I hop on in a whip
Night Rider
Chorus:
Taking my girl for the night ride
I’m writing it up with the right lies
I’m smoking it up like a high rise
Side with the cheese and the hot fries
Bridge:
This is the slap of the century
Posted like Caesar surrounding my enemies
I want the glass walls, the green garden with surrounding amenities
Verse 1:
Look at it
When we fuck, she gon' look back at it
Diamonds they glisten, they cool at it
Smoke all my weed, I’m like "who had it?"
I got the money to go, the cash in advance
I stay shuffling like i’m changing these hands
I bet on myself, I bet on the plan
I’m feeling myself so I know I’m the man
I put on a show
Put on a show when I know I’m the goat
I wanted to show how amazing I am
She wanted me so she part of the plans
She know she a fan
She know that she loving my life
I might just fuck her and make her my wife
I might just pull up in trucks in the night
I gotta get it, you know I’m on sight
Chorus:
Taking my girl for the night ride
I’m writing it up for the right lies
I’m smoking it up like a high rise
Side with the cheese and the hot fries
Verse 2:
I am a night rider
Look at the way that I’m out styling
Styling a bitch that I’m out riding
Look at the way that I’m on islands
Back in Bahamas
Back in Bahamas, back and I’m banging your mama
Giving me neck like a Llama, giving me
Giving me neck like a Llama
Yeah, yeah
Fuck it up, WOO
Fuck it up, fuck it up, WOO
Fuck it up, fuck it up, boutta go run it up
Boutta go fuck up the loot
Run it up, run it like Pop Smoke
Take a jet out, trip out to Cabo
And I’m boutta go pop all these models
And I got all my gas on the throttle, like
Outro:
Got the birds eye view, birds eye view
Got the birds eye view, yes I do
And we going up, like I do
Now we up in here, bountiful
Pensive Poet
Intro:
Yeah,
Wrote this shit when I was, on the metro coming back from work
45 Minute journey so I wrote this verse
Now you’ll hear it all
Verse:
Am I lost in the sequence
Or is the sequence lost in the presence of me?
I can’t rap about homies that got shot or locked up in a cell but I know that there’s a life for me
I grew up in a decent house with not a single drop of poverty
I grew up in a school that handed newest iPads out freely to the kids that complain about whether they lunches got green leaves or tea
Boy, what would I do without this life?
I know I rap about money and the jaded type
But I'm not one to rap about my failures like like they ain’t made for me or I'm cut from a different cloth
Cuz I been through struggles but more of the mental thoughts
and been through struggles when it was tough on the fucking family love
Or been through strict shit got my parents thinking that i’m the chosen one
All I ever really wanted was to be the only one
For the love of my life that left me in the cold, in the dust, and so I took the OPUS one
Straight to downtown Montreal, I walk around thinking I’m the only one
Mental struggles take its presence only if I let it
I’ve said a lot of shit in the past I've regretted
But now I realize I said it just so I could get it
Understand the myth of confusion and how it’s stopping you from where you’re headed
People love to talk louder than you if you don’t express your truth and rock it like you fucking sell it
I can’t rap about the famous type but I know that i’m made for life
I can’t rap about the girls I fucked because they know that they ain’t my wife
I dont rap about being lonely because I’m supposed to be the crazy type
But who the fuck is you to tell me how I should be acting when the stars align
Or when the stars the combine
Or when I start to die
Or when I look up to the sky and see a shooting star
Call me the pensive poet
Pen to the paper thinking how I wrote it
Lot of paths I could go for but I be sulking knowing that my choice might lead me to this fucking poem
Yeah, this the fucking pensive poet
6ix Figures
Chorus:
Catch me dreaming of the 6 figures
I got 6 wedding rings up on my ring finger
I be married to the game cuz I’m the ring leader
I be at the top while you be at the bottom singing
Woahhh
Where the fuck did you go?
How the fuck didn’t I know?
At the stop on the road
I cut a right, cut a left and then I’m back on my own
Topping up my whip, I’m cashing all out on all of these O’s like
Woahhh
Verse 1:
Riding it steady, I pop one
Load up the song and I drop one
Want me a whip and I copped one
Shordie she down and she want in
Thing about me is I’m locked in
I’m saying it once, I’m saying it twice, I’ll say it again cuz I promised
Gucci’d the shoes and I got it
Cashin inside of the wallet
Reno’d the Run and I rocket
Empty the bags and the pockets
I want it all, I want it big, so you gotta tell me my options
I want the stocks, I want the crypto, I want the puts & the options
Chorus:
Catch me dreaming of the 6 figures
I got 6 wedding rings up on my ring finger
I be married to the game cuz I’m the ring leader
I be at the top while you be at the bottom singing
Woahhh
Where the fuck did you go?
How the fuck didn’t I know?
At the stop on the road
I cut a right, cut a left and then I’m back on my own
Topping up my whip, I’m cashing all out on all of these O’s like
Woahhh
Verse 2:
Laugh at the haters call me hyena
Running through hoes I am like a cheetah
I am a big cat, I am a leader
Switch up the rhyme scheme, double time heater
I am Mohali
I’m catching a body
I’m shooting at oppies
they call me John Gotti
She calling me papi
I’m back in the lobby
She roll in the molly
I’m deep in the cash like
Swerving the lanes for the fast life
doubling down on my last life
I’m crossing and telling a girl that I lied to her face when I met her in a past life
So I hit it with dat pipe (woah)
Back on the strip that jack of all trades when I load up the song in the whip and tell em i’m making a wave
2Face Freestyle
Verse 1:
Living my life like I’m two face
Flipping a coin tell me who’s race?
I sit in the tropics, I write on a topic, I’m living my life in a new way
I hop off the porch and right in the Porsche, I’m swerving this shit like I blew past
Bank full of O’s and the blue cash
Thankful for blessings that been had
I'm sailing the waves like I’m Sinbad
I’m liking the ting cuz my bitch bad
This is the new age, I’m flipping this shit like the Motorola I did have
Look at the LinkedIn
Look at the headshot, look at the placement
Two lives that I’m living, got one in the day and one in the night so you know how I’m pacing
I’m pacing through money, the weed, the shrooms, the drinks, the cars, the girls, the bars, the hoes, the woes, the friends with the foes, the enemies close, they closing in
Baby you know what I’m closing in
Run me the numbers I’m phoning in
Sell me the lumber I’m holding it
Sell me the lumber I’m
I’m sliding the keys, I’m running the racks, I’m about to go pop it, you know that I got it, yeah
Boutta go slide on the wave, the boat is out in the tropics
The people gon’ hate, hate to see me win while they loving to comment
Verse 2:
Look at the way that I’m saving my bag, I swerve in the whip
The cookie that crumbles crumble it’s way all the way to the chip
Watch in the whip, bussin it down on the block with ma bitch
I’m peeping the rocks, the trees, the different snakes that be sliming their way to the pits
The different ways
Light up the sky and I drizzle for days
Don't want a fine so I’m switching to Waze
Slide in the dm’s, I’m single for plays
Something seems fishy, I fish the filet
I’m fishing to fuck like I fish for the numbers, she cold like the winter but hot like the summer
I fuck in the back of the rental with tints on the back of the hummer
Feel like I’m running a marathon the way that I’m lapping these fuckers
They gon’ wanna hear this song, the way that we run up these numbers
Back on Top
Chorus:
Back gon’ drop
Back on icy, back on top
That girl like me
That girl pop
Right in tune
I’m right in luck

Rapping once, I rap i’m done
Fight or flight I fight the fun

Bridge:

She play with the team and she playing with gang

Flick of da wrist
Flicking da wrist when i’m shooting a 3 at the crib
You cannot even go, you cannot
Verse 1:
You cannot even go test me what?
Playing this shit like I’m messi what?
Putting her face on my testes what?
Baby you know that god blessed me what?
Making it big so I’m stressing what?
Count on my fingers my blessings what?
Count on my woah woah

Count on my fingers my blessings
Praying to god that he don’t even stress / stretch me
I gotta make it big so I’m gon’ bless these
Blessing these homies around me
Look at the way they surround me
I got my gang and my team around me
You know that I’m playing ‘em, pound me
I’m playing this shit like a Pawnee
Pounding this shit cuz I’m pounding it down
Pounding it, pounding it, pound it down
Pounding it, pounding it, pound it down
I’m planning this shit cuz I planned it now
I’m planning this shit for the future
I’m playing this shit cuz I lose you

Lost you once and I lost you twice so I’m back on, back on
Chorus:

Verse 2:
I’m wildin’, I’m dripping, I’m stylin’
I’m wildin’, I’m dripping, I’m dialin’
I’m dialing the plug, I’m calling it up
I’m telling ‘em “Bring all dem pounds in.”
I’m bringing the mileage, burning the gas
I’m tipping the dealer at the lounge and
I’m at the casino playing the blackjack
Hitting the 21 thousand
I’m hitting the 21 thousand
I’m saving it up like a mountain
I look at the team they surrounding
Swimming like sharks and they swim in the fountain
This is the way that we doing it
This is the way that we proving it
Proving that we in this bitch and we movin it
Moving it big like a crew in it
Moving it big so you loose like a screw in it
