OG file for "Make Me Happy" leaked on January 1st, 2024.
Recorded sometime in 2021 and is the latest known version of the song before it was reworked into “Mother I Sober”. Thought to be a version of Somebody, but it's actually a version of Abortion Money. The song has Beth Gibbons on the chorus instead of Lily Kershaw and uses boom-bap style production until the 3rd verse that uses the V5 instrumental of Somebody. It's similar to the chorus on V4 but it's less orchestral. It's possible that each verse is from "Abortion Money" while the hook remains the same, has alternative lines.
One of the songs that was meant for the May 2020 version of this album. Not the final name of the song. This song is unrelated to the Kendrick and Keem collab, they just use the same name. Snippet posted on leaked.cx on October, 20, 2021 along with 5 other snippets. Features Eckhart Tolle's "Auntie Diaries" intro and original lyrics that didn't make it to the released version, most of which are about his uncle who passed away from cancer. Extended snippet leaked by Zaytop on October 10, 2023. Partially blocked from being publicly visible on YouTube. Apparently no known bounce with the acapella and instrumental together exist, but an edit was made combining these two that can be found in the edits tab. Samples "Through The Night" by Duval Timothy.
