1.	Contender 04:10	lyrics	buy track
See I won't break 'Less they cut the vein Cause I'm a stubborn minded defender And they gon' pray Pray you fade away Cause I know that God has a plan for this sinner Don't give 'em anything Don't ever give 'em anything baby I'm the chosen contender Don't give 'em anything Don't ever give 'em anything baby Call the chiefs and the warriors, yeah Mount up Lets go to war with these pretenders See I've been humbly workin' Tryna bring my soul back home Cause these cowboys burdens Only tend to dull my crown See there's gon' be doubters Always tryna bring you down But they don't know They don't know I'm the chosen contender I’m on cool vibes and stepping over the haters Suit Tailored , swag level on skater And action on the street grind , Im aye , to the naysayers On my Bill Belamy , I taught all of you players Can’t pay me enough to be fake tho I ain’t got a price I ain’t worried about the rate bro . I had the 32 I ain’t rapping about a Draco I gotta Keep it real ain’t looking for fake pathos I know the enemy peeping the double agents See how much you care when the problem stopping the payments . And when the problem ain’t the payment they hating on how you make it And when you already made it you recognize all the fake shit. Wait wait wait wait , they appropriating the culture too But I ain’t mad , I reinvent and they poach it too . My brain don’t stop learning and more I’m on my coaching too You choose . War or peace when It’s approaching you. See I've been humbly workin' Tryna bring my soul back home Cause these cowboys burdens Only tend to dull my crown See there's gon' be doubters Always tryna bring you down But they don't know They don't know I'm the chosen contender
2.	Bones Under Water 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Lately I hear they out here judgin' Cause this life chose me And I ain't run yet See the challenge Is dodging human piranhas But who would I be to spill my blood Cause they upset Sauce it up, go and tell 'em I'm back in town, and I'm fixin' to get 'em Line 'em up, that's how I'm feelin' Now raise your glass, up to the ceilin' Light it up, watch it fade They love the game, well come and play, baby Higher love, that day to day Now lets take it away Bones under water You ain't got no weight on me no more Roll, down through Neptune's door I never claimed to be a saint In fact its obvious, I'm surely insane My adversary: the prude, the lame Shall never test me, in vein To change my ways I know exactly who you aimin' for Don't know who the fuck you think you layman's are Out here pillow talkin' like a sleepless child Steady talkin' shit because ya'll life is tired Ya'll ain't gon' want the boy to bring the noise Self drive new Uber Most people try to use ya But be truthful you use them Float cool, sink or swim Dark nights, For a Dark Knight And bright days on the right page I’m in line can’t catch fade right away My suit dry, but I catch waves. Extracurricular, naw we ain’t similar They over boiled and I let it simmer bra Real life trolls, ain’t just subliminal Habitual haters, that shit should be criminal ,yah! Not tribal we a nation It’s a kingdom, that you face in Yawl racin, I’m pacing, I’m pure cut yawl laced in. Bones under water You ain't got no weight on me no more Roll, down through Neptune's door
3.	The Cool 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Sail on down the river I'll break tides for you Scull miles for you We're headed to the moon Her mother begs to differ Cause she'd lie for me Then pay tithes for me I know they see it too You lit a fuse to my heart She's broken through the cool Undo the chains and clear you mind Never to waste your precious time, I'll stay right here Lend me your fears and I'll do mine Who'd be the fool to kill this vibe I'm afraid but I won't fight again I never saw it comin' See I'll ride for her Hell I'd die for her Ain't got nothin' to prove Ol' Freddy hates to hear it That she dove deeply She'd break jaws for me I know they see it too You lit a fuse to my heart, she's broken right through The Cool Undo the chains and clear you mind Never to waste your precious time, I'll stay right here Lend me your fears and I'll do mine Who'd be the fool to kill this vibe I'm afraid but I won't fight again

about

"Don’t let The Fey’s new EP title Strawberry Lemonade fool you; this record is no light beach drink. Rather, it’s a cocktail of the molotov variety, the kind you’ll want to toss into the middle of your 'songs that rock' summer playlist. From the opening salvos of 'Contender', to the slow burn of 'Bones Underwater', to the final soothing swells of 'The Cool', Strawberry Lemonade is a masterclass in modern songwriting, arrangement, instrumentation, and production."
