Hate when things ain’t working Sitting and hurting I need Prayers and sermons I know suttin that’s certain Gods gonna lift this burden I ain’t ever loss im learning Still got it good that’s crazy Privilege Crying in a whip that’s German Pray I make good of my dreams Your eyes don’t know what I’ve seen But I got lazy maybe too much time out sowing my seeds Online too much greed Outside can’t been seen I’m inside mind right, ain’t be seen Know when I step it’s clean That’s fresh to death If I stress I rest my head And When I step, I step correct No man can curse who god did bless That’s god as my witness Still spread around like sickness They wanna do it, done did it They wanna do it, done did They wanna do it done did it I did

CHORUS [Oscar #Worldpeace] Big bald face on the billboard Said I’m too tapped I’m on the ill ward Said I’m too harsh I gotta feel more I don’t even know what I feel for We just left the house and she still bored We just had yute and I’m still raw Wasn’t in cahoots so we build more Big bald face on the billboard VERSE [Oscar #Worldpeace] Sitting in the V we use to lip lock Gods favourite, how you spread his word on Tik Tok Carry all this weight, my shape is tip top I can’t see my fate, I was a bit off Was pissed off Felt a bit lost Didn’t comb my beard I looked a bit ruff Laying on your shoulders felt a bit soft Couldn’t drop a tear so I dipped off CHORUS [Oscar #Worldpeace] Big bald face on the billboard Said I’m too tapped I’m on the ill ward Said I’m too harsh I gotta feel more I don’t even know what I feel for We just left the house and she still bored We just had yute and I’m still raw Wasn’t in cahoots so we build more Big bald face on the billboard VERSE [TONY STONE] Drove to Toronto for a billboard Looking at my face it made me feel joy Stoney with the woadies cause he real boy Know a couple shorties that would kill for me I got it out the mud I been through a lot and I don’t know who to trust I’m talking to the box She wants computer love Now she all on my hard drive told her back it up Watch how I gas up Facts Racks for a show baby Here comes the wave Add up the dough baby Here comes the wave Ya heart’ll skip a pulse baby Here comes the wave I be fucking shorties by the two’s now Come to Montreal we at Moonshine I got a witchy bitch and she pissed She mad I know my sun but not my moon sign CHORUS [Oscar #Worldpeace] Big bald face on the billboard Said I’m too tapped I’m on the ill ward Said I’m too harsh I gotta feel more I don’t even know what I feel for We just left the house and she still bored We just had yute and I’m still raw Wasn’t in cahoots so we build more Big bald face on the billboard

Pure Intent 02:33
I know I should have left They’re saying it’s alternative well I guess that it is cause I’m close to the edge Why I act like I know what it is But really I’m still a mess Why they act like I don’t exist Overthink like it’s all in my head Send a prayer I’m blessed New kicks at the door I’m fresh Always missing, can’t pitch him You’ll probably be more impressed Them problems don’t exist Man I think that its all in my head I don’t ever wanna go through shit Why it gotta feel so intense Fuck waiting innit Mind keeps racing Gotta keep chasing Man fuck waiting for it I came with pure intent My brudda are you taking piss Offline I ain’t been on the net I might drop something on the grid I know I should have left They’re saying it’s alternative well I guess that it is cause I’m close to the edge Why I act like I know what it is But really I’m still a mess Why they act like I don’t exist Overthink like it’s all in my head It’s all in my head Too much paranoia Then I feel cool in the end Man them problems cannot stop me I can’t be cornered again All I know that God has got me Let go it’s tolling again Can’t deal with dealings Ain’t no worth and meaning Only want what’s pure and healing I deserve that feeling I can’t deal with dirty demons It’s an uncertain feeling Now I know my worth and meaning I know I should have left They’re saying it’s alternative well I guess that it is cause I’m close to the edge Why I act like I know what it is But really I’m still a mess Why they act like I don’t exist Overthink like it’s all in my head

For You 02:23
So what is life? So what is life? So what is life? Put a disguise wanting to hide Prayed a million times I hope it’s still in the sky Looking for the answers I’m in terminal 5 I don’t wanna die so why’s it all in my mind Life is full of Surprises Man of my house, so I pull my trousers I just wanna break down But there ain’t an easy way out Fam looking at me, i ain’t even got answers I’m in disguise It’s the for the guys It’s for the tribe It’s for my son Letters from your dad And the Prayers from your mum Moved you to the sticks To protect you from the slums Hard head from daddy And your looks from your mum I’m Still learning and the pressure weighs a ton Got married need a stable house just for once I didn’t have it, but now you do so I won I never panic, you want it did then it’s done I ain’t disguised It’s for the guys It’s for the tribe It’s for my wife We done good, we did alright Moneys tight, but the bills paid. We’re alright It’s alright We don’t feel pain We got each other ride or die That’s my real flame You was with me when I had an Ill-fade Now I rock the Baldy and you still stayed Laugh it off you know I still play It’s for the tribe So what is life?

about

Mum Pray For Your Son is a deeply personal project which explores themes of childhood, parenthood, marriage and faith. It draws on the sounds of the 90’s rap and hip-hop scene as well as early 2000’s RnB, giving the record a timeless feel and aligning it with the music Oscar listened to growing up.

Having had the title Mum Pray For Your Son in mind since 2017, Oscar #Worldpeace draws on not only his own childhood for the project, but also becoming a parent. He says; ‘In a lot of my older music I couldn’t touch on parenthood yet as it was still new to me. Now I’m 4 years in, its a great time for me to reflect on that in my music and to compare the things I want for my son to how I was raised’. The record opens with Oscar’s son’s voice asking ‘Daddy where’s your bible?’, also highlighting the theme of faith and prayer throughout the project.

Mum Pray For Your Son sees Oscar team up with several other artists including long time collaborator Bawo, Canadian hip-hop trio Planet Giza and singer-songwriter Qendresa. Each guest brings a unique offering to the project and positions Oscar within a rapidly evolving global scene.

‘That’s the premise of Mum Pray For Your Son, its a very personal record but I also have fun on there. I was able to do everything I wasn’t able to do on my other projects, and do it all on one album.’
