about

My first song covering self-hate, breaking apart my old self and choices over a certain period of my musical development. I wanted to be the best in every way possible and continued to compare and contrast myself to the greats, e.g. Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Jay Z, and would always feel like I fell short, but I'm gonna take the jump and post my first single on March 9th 2019 with open hands. This song came from a more raw, angry, industrial version of myself.

lyrics

I believe that words have power
Like I can see that words can create whatever you
Want them to, I can make you
Think, I can make you question yourself or
Dream about whatever I say just by the way I
Say it, It's mad
Words, vibrations, they can create
And they can also destroy

Ayy, well lemme tell you bout the rhythm
South-East flow when I hit 'em, hit 'em with the
Unpredictable distant flow
Like a fist from my twisted blow, lemme tell you when I

Write each bar and I speak from heart
It ain't ever me rapping I just meet the parts
From Pac, Jay Z, Nas, AZ
And Eminem, some of these Gods they fathered me

I tell you, mothered by Lauryn
Erykah B, feeling like I'm Missy Elli I get on the beat
You know I freak with melodies, energies too
Climbing hills of prosperity whenever Adu

And once I reach everest, know it was never it
I'll reach the end of this race in record pace and I sever it
Stare the judge in the face and while I'm taking my medal set
Grab my bike off the rack and wonder why I ain't pedalled yet

That's the way we go (that's the way we go)
See me shining in the dark in the park in the nighttime darg
I don't talk I'm just taking it slow, taking it slow (taking it slow)

Yeah I'm just taking it slow (yeah I'm just taking it slow)
See me writing in the dark with the sharks at the right time following my heart
The way that it goes...

That's the way that I went
Rose up from nothing to something bumping it up on tens
Bunking beds with other members now I'm juggling pens
Couple of pages in and now I'm stuck on the fence

To chuck or write again
Dash it, dump it again
Revoking my ideas cause they ain't Gucci or Gang
Used to always tell myself that I was too Peter Pan
That if I ever made this album that it would never land I said

Tell me little Richard did you ever get what you want
You were never rich, you never cared, you put your shoe on
Student loan arose so now you spend it on your new ones
You're pretending that you love this udder that you chew on

Other than the fact that none of us even know when it rains
I take it that you ain't feeling pain
And that's a new one

But if I had to choose, I'm staying the same
I wouldn't change, life is perfect when I stay in the lane because

That's the way we go
See me shining in the dark in the park in the nighttime following the heart
Taking it slow, taking it slow

Yeah I'm just taking it slow,
See me rhyming in the dark with the sharks at the right time following my heart,
The way that it goes...

That's the way we go (that's the way we go)
See me shining in the dark in the park in the nighttime darg
I don't talk I'm just taking it slow, taking it slow (taking it slow)

Yeah I'm just taking it slow (yeah I'm just taking it slow)
See me writing in the dark with the sharks at the right time following my heart
The way that it goes...

I believe that words have power
Like I can see that words can create whatever you
Want them to, I can make you
Think, I can make you question yourself or
Dream about whatever I say just by the way I
Say it, It's mad
Words, vibrations, they can create
And they can also destroy
