This last session brought life to the chorus of “Throne”, too…
Lyrics[Intro]
Koffee come in like a rapture

[Chorus]
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture

And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter, ayy
When dem see di lyrical doctor

Yo a first mi see people deh round me so plenty
But mi pocket nuh empty, mi need space, oh Lord, yeah, me
See dem a watch me through a crack now
A mussi true me have di ting pon lock down
Sitting ina di Bentley, pickiny a di century
Yuh drench mi but fi mi fiyah gon blaze
And a same way suh mi see di enemy a protest (Oh)
And him couldn't come di closest (No)

A wah me do put in the work and trust di process

And me seh Jah gimme di, Jah gimme di signs like woah
