Notes
*The name "Dcypha" is actually mentioned at the beginning of a few of Sway's songs, most notably "the arrival of Dcypha" at the beginning of "This Is My Demo" and "the return of Dcypha" at the beginning of "Fit 4 A King". Lyrics of these and other songs that name-drop the label commonly misinterpret the lyric, hearing and transcribing it as either "decipher", "decihper" or "cyphaa", among a few other oddball interpretations.
[Lyric website genius.com]
/span> notably has the lyric correctly interpreted, though only in "This Is My Demo"'s case, as the lyric page for "Fit 4 A King" still cites the lyric as "Cyphaa"
