[Chorus]
See if I knew better
Then I would do better
We're praying for better
While we chase better
See the place where I grew
Makes it hard to choose to win but we're born to lose
I pray we do better
I pray we do better

[Verse 1]
Fallin' out with my mother and then fallin' out with my father
Took shit out on my brother, I never felt any weaker, oh yeah, yeah yeah)
And she thinks I'll never get her, she don't get the bigger picture
Babe I forgot you those nights, that doesn't mean that I'll forget you (yeah yeah, yeah
There's are lot things I've seen
There's a lot of places I've been
And they all think I'm living the dream
In my head it's still a nightmare to sleep
And we been on the road for a week
Gettin' calls niggas coming for me
On God I put that heat on the streets
On God look what I did for my peeps
Yeah, losing weight
I told you I'm fucking loaded mate
Grinna died one time I cried like a bitch
Trizzy died the next time I saved all my tears
'Cause Grinna they didn't come back, the first time I did
Type of way to drive a man mad, then make him quit
I remember when my pops said I make him sick
Then I told my mom I loved her and she didn't say shit back
Yeah, well I can't blame 'em, say what I want then finish we were aiming
See us as targets then I start aiming
Whilst all niggas out here and they still aiming
M&S in jail, Ginge in jail, Geo in jail, 8 as well
Ape killed ape, I got sick tales
I've been there too so I can tell
Youth, it ain't a place to be
I'm sick of visiting murder scenes
From young, my since been a murder team
Sometimes I think that it's karma pulling tricks out her sleeve
Yeah, hmm,noly sometimes

[Chorus]
See if I knew better
Then I would do better
We're praying for better
While we chase better
See the place where I grew makes it hard to choose to win but we're born to lose
I pray we do better
I pray we do better

[Verse 2]
It's been a minute since you called, I'm tryna hear "I'm proud of you"
You're tryna test me if I change, I bet you think I'm not the same
So then I go answer call and now you're thinking that I change
Without realizing that you was waiting for that anyways, anyways
Bet you think it's a game
Bet you think I'm rapping for rap sex
Bet you think I'm a stereo type
Well fuck the comments they typing below it's never to my face
God said I'ma die great
Every move I make is by His grace
Fell in love with money but it's two faced
So I'ma blow too much before it's too late
I bet we'll never make it too late
I bet we'll never make it too late
That goes both ways
Always

Guystone Mbozo Menga, or Larry Cummings Kiala (aka. Yxng Bane) is an upcoming British rapper hailing from the ends of Custom House (near Canning Town) East London an area also known as favela, he gained fame for his smooth and passionate flow mixed with harmonious & hearty singing that he credits Chris Brown & Future for serving as an inspiration since they have consistently remaining at the top despite the things they’ve been through. Gaining attention from the release of Lone Wolf, Yxng Bane has been quite consistent and dropped his first EP/mixtape Full Moon quite quickly which included soon to be hits like Doubted Me and Villain. The list of songs in the EP features a wide variety of different songs that appeal to both the male and female counterparts. Currently his most recent tracks have been Can’t Hold Me Back and Should’ve Know Better that both dropped May.

Before rap, he wasn’t known as Yxng Bane, it was just G Mula. When he started doing the rap thing, he didn’t want to show his face, and just wanted to do it for the music, as he quotes, “Because I got love for music and I got stories to tell and things that are happening in my life.” So he decided to let just “put Yxng Bane out there, with the Bane mask.” However, he had never watched the Batman movie with Bane in his life. So he quickly Wikipedia’d Bane and read up on his thing and apparently thought it was decent story. But he quickly changed his mind on not showing his face right before the shooting of his first vid, Lone Wolf/Pronto. In his own words, “I was like, Why am I hiding my face?! Let me take off my mask and just tossed the mask away. I thought, fuck it, now there’s a face behind the voice”

When asked what he wants people to take away from his music he responded “From the first time when you click on a Yxng Bane link, I need you to have an open mind and not to expect anything, because I could just drop something totally different to what you heard previously. Just let it hit you from the first drop. If you don’t like it from the first drop, then don’t listen to the rest of the song. If you like the drop, then keep listening man. Keep your ears open… From the time I dropped Lone Wolf, that’s when I found my sound. Some of my new tracks will be similar to Lone Wolf, but they are all real life experiences and will be expressed in different ways.”
