2020
Released in 2020, ten years after he made aliyah, as a decade in review over a grime beat. It moves through the two EPs and Trafalgar Square, the tour guide qualification, and Kol Cambridge back on air on TLV1, ending on the biggest change of the decade: becoming a father.
Yo, 10 years since I moved over, 10 years since I put out a track
All dem man best move over, get out the way and look at who’s back
Yo I came in the game in the year 2000 when the name of the game back then it was rap
Now 20 years down it’s Grime in the house we changin the sound bruv how about that
Come outta K-Boro to the centre of London, moved to the Bridge and dat was summin
Dropped EP 1 on the hustle, dropped EP 2 and got muscle
Yo to Geneva, true believer, P&Ger, surface cleaner
Data screener, big achiever, always need a certain demeanour
Done made aliyah cos I gotta, can’t wait to shed the white collar,
On my way to be a tour guide scholar, I gotta go make it worth my bother
Yo a tour guider, pure fire, anyone who’s anyone line up to hire
Award winner, tour giver, game just kept getting hotter.
Yo high flyer, I desire, to inspire a love of the land
Feelin blessed as I ride East-West, North-South and the rest and still get paid cash in hand
Radio in ya ears tho we paused a few years Kol Cam reappeared TLV1 smash
Pro studio now paid for by the crowd we the biggest in town and that is a fact
I done gigs in Australia, Africa, Asia, 20,000 in Burma rocked the stage
My discs on rotation, tear up the stations, now all continents heard my name
But Israel’s my place, it’s my natural state I’m make it clear that I’m here to stay
Aint got much space life is fast paced that’s just our fate bruv just our way
Still Zionist, still pride in it, no hidin it that’s what I am
Fight for the right to define our life my dugma ishit’s a stream not a tap
I’ve dodged rockets, crossed bosses, got losses – some things been bad
When it gets rough it can feel kinda tough but I still never think that I might come back
Cos I’m Tel Avivi, best city, yeah ya hear me we drew up the rap
I got new trends and I got new friends and I got new ends, they put up a plaque
10 years done flown it appears that I’ve grown I feel right at home that ting is mad
But the biggest change is my new status got a kid of my own so now I’m a Dad
I’m Family man with a family plan, I’m happy that’s done become my focus
My fam is my life, little girl and my wife, they the apples of my eye ask all dem who know us
Decade of change, making my way, I guess I’m a say I’m happy with my lot
Best decade ever – yeah it’s been a true pleasure. Here’s to the next peace out and stop.
