What If The Storm Ends (Prod. Colton Schweitzer) (Snow Patrol Remix)

Lookin Up (Prod. Colton Schweitzer)

I tried my hand at producing a Lo-Fi beat for this track. Thanks to Colton Schweitzer for the mix and master! Check out the lyrics below:


INTRO
I'm watchin all the change in seasons
Feelin sentimental for the strangest reasons
Everything around is rearrangin me and
I'm taking life and make it mine I claim and seize it


VERSE 1 
Wake up eat cereal feel Eathereal 
deal material real satirical man it's 
so empirical make me feel imperial
But you’ll. See. Me. In.        

No versace, sipping on Bacardi
Roll up to the party, tardy
Rollin with my hottie, tottie
Shawty ridin shottie, so why you Actin shotty huh?

No matter what comes out of my esophagus it don’t matter how 
Soft it is you still know who the author is it’s I make it a
Habit in the half hazard habitat I had to have a 
Back to back and pack a pack of fat tobacc

Intoxicating flow so I’m caught on to the bars 
I got lost in the stars checking out homonymous scars
Cruising and I never rode a honda this far
But I control my own drive like autonomous cars

So I’m riding the beat just like I’m Baby Driver
insane with the pen I’m a Crazy Writer
Going super heavy but it makes me lighter
Feelin so divine I swear it takes me higher

But the Mystery of misery is a myth to me I'm Mister Clean 
So you can miss me with the misdemeanor subpoena I leave your 
Scene I mean I seen it with my pair of eyes it’s paradise
The gleam of self esteem I’m rollin with it like a pair of dice


CHORUS
I’m watching all the change in seasons
feelin sentimental for the strangest reasons
everything around is re arrangin me and
takin life and make it mine I claim and seize it
x2


VERSE 2
Campaigning and drinking champagne in the rain and we 
Reign over brains and we pulling the reigns 
Not whipping the range but we always engaged in the 
Moment and own it and wrote it in vein

Riding on the wave feeling high like I cleared the wake
the path I pave drivin by stay clear of the brakes
want a smorgasbord of porches in orbit it’s never cloudy
and I drive a Subi but I'm Audi 

Frequent flying like I’m on a delta
Treatment feeling royal like I’m Zelda
The way that it all Links I’m feelin Extra
The high rule (Hyrule) just to fill their own agenda

Pursuin persistence up in a proper passion past proceedin 
Properly per passin the pack in the back and People pick 
Apart a part of the past tense so we pass less it’s like a 
Crash test till our last breath can have this


CHORUS
I’m watching all the change in seasons
feelin sentimental for the strangest reasons
everything around is re arrangin me and
takin life and make it mine I claim and seize it
x2

Change in Seasons | Single

Change in Seasons

VERSE 1
Swear that I’m killing these raps like I spare backwards with these 
Wack verbs got so many lines I guess I stack words
One step at a time like a pawn movin forward 
Marchin on the game until I finally get it cornered

I’m sworn to perform for the swarm since I was born
Breaking from the norm climbing hills like I’m Lauryn
Adoring exploring the poor up in the pouring rain 
I soar when I’m sore in the core and it’s more insane

I want it just right like I forage for porridge and
Ignore it’s pouring euphoric I just enjoy the foliage
Bygones be bygones my minds gone my blinds drawn 
These pylons of pythons are a mile long like my song

Kill a critic paint it in acrylic in a clinic I’m in it 
Been in it haven’t seen a limit in a minute.
Lookin for a pot of gold I hope it’s in Galapagos 
And when I find I’ll send you a letter in an envelope

Man behind the curtain Wizard of Oz,
Fittin to get even though what I’m spittin is odd
I can see clearly like I’m Missing the fog
And man my life is like a fairy tale I’m kissin the frog


CHORUS
Let it breathe
Let it breathe


VERSE 2
Right out the gates I be spitting that flow and I 
Ain’t gunna slow cause it’s time that you know that I’m 
Goin and goin and growin I feel like I’m fee fie foe Fum 
Goin so dumb rapping so cold that I 

Think I’ll be numb think of the sum 
Everything adding to make sure we come and we 
Bright as the sun because that’s how we doin
All this for fun yeah

Idiosyncratic addict I’m up like an attic 
Spasmodic mad if you had it and matted it
Pat on the back of your up here still having it
Laughin and loving this life it’s so Lavish 

And hungry for more so I’m famished
Man I don’t know what the future will hold when I’m 
Old but my soul won’t be sold for no gold
How do you balance the brain and the heart

How do you balance the pain at the start
Wish more of us would make conscious decisions 
And not this precision of nauseous previsions 


CHORUS
Let it breathe
Let it breathe


VERSE 3
Ghost write the script ghost ride the whip
Most white post right coast nice and dip yup
Man we rollin through just like a herd of turtles
And I’m jumping on the beat now that’s a verbal hurdle

Murder the track and we running it back 
Never step on a crack but we breaking our back
Tape it and rake in the cash
Making the cake in a flash

Takin the path fakin the wrath
Making a splash
Awaken the past a snake in the grass
Making you clash

The worst that lie the thirst inside I feel em man
That's what I tell em yeah it's what I tell em man
Diversify the verse I write and perks aside I work on mine 
The curse of time I murk a rhyme and put it in the hearse I drive

Got the kind of girl who sippin on Moscato by the 
Bottle looking like a model pull up on the throttle oh my god 
I’m feelin like I always gotta keep on pushin 
Droppin beats on fleek so heavy I think that I need a cushion

Lovin this life swear I’m in a metropolis
Hang with the wife there's no toppin this
Forgetting the strife so we’re over here coppin it
This ain't no rife there’s no stoppin this

Divine rhymin and divin in 
I’m in time and I'm vibin 
I’m findin and bindin a dime in 
Hidin like a diamond is

Ominous feelings aren’t dominant honestly
I’m in it but I’m anonymous promisin
Everybody's trollin everybody's rollin I don't know man
Just a showman fightin to the death I’m like a Roman

Feelin extra holy like a bunch of donuts
Day drinking on a Sunday hit up brunch and go nuts
Sure enough pretty sure that we about to blow up
Know us pass the mic our way you know we show up show up


CHORUS
Let it breathe
Let it breathe

Idiosyncratic

VERSE 1
Live and let live, live and let live
Wonder why so many want to take when they should really give
Takin all their wish list and turn it into business
Eliminatin all their needs as if it's on a hit list

Damn man, don't understand man
You don't need to do too much just lend someone a hand man
Gettin stupid rich not givin back ain't Uncle Sam's plan
Find a friend in need and you can kick it like the can-can

Can a man-made mandate make a man's fate
Fade away and waitin patient fakin pace for plan's sake
Personify materials objectifying peers
Fat cats don't tell the truth but trust there ain't no lyin (lion) here

Plant my roots, grow up and branch out
Maybe fill a trunk and leave the damn town
Maybe stickin with your buds and drink a can down
Or maybe grow your family tree be the man of the house


CHORUS
So live and let live
Think about it now live and let live
Yea, live and let live
Think about it now live and let live
Think about it


VERSE 2
Live forgive and give a gift and somethin's gotta give
Worry less about the biz getting his and plot a quiz
Gotta test yourself to be a whiz up in this wild world
Scratch the surface dig in deep and then you’ll find the pearl

Feel so delusional from all the usual 
Stay true to you and then you can be you you know
We all want to be loved and be true to ourselves
Take all the negative put it up on our shelves

Everybody's got little baggage so be slow to judge
Never know what someone's goin through but they don't know to budge
If they’re not hurtin anyone why do you intervene
If we all live and let live this world could be serene I mean

The racial divides and all the gender bias 
Are human constructs to keep us from using our minds
Why can’t havin precious life just be enough
In the end we all just want to be happy and loved


CHORUS
So live and let live
Think about it now live and let live
Yea, live and let live
Think about it now live and let live
Think about it

Live and Let Live

"Let Me Dream" is now available on all streaming services including Apple Music and Spotify.

LYRICS:

I open up my eyes and I’m still layin in my bed
I blink a couple times and come back into consciousness and feel my head 
Regain my vision from my sleep as I’m decipherin my dreams
They said so much but I’m not sure what it means
I’m just happy to be wakin up to see another day
I’m one step closer to makin it’s what my brother say
So I lay my head back, press play
Reflect upon my work and just keep buildin up my resume
Somedays I just look at my reflection question how I even got here
But I’m glad the world has made its impression I session the mess
And mention the press in my confession do my best to
Lessen the rest in my present obsession’s essence now I
I’m feelin so clean, I’m feelin my team, healin the seams
I’m reelin in all of my dreams 
Cause it seems that I planted my seed and the future I read says that 
Timing is all that I need, so I’m forgettin all about the speed
And slow it down knowin that I’ve got this dream

You can catch me chillin up on Cloud 9
Listen to the world and what it sound like
This is what I’m hearin when I write rhyme
Imma keep it comin for my lifetime
You can catch me chillin up on Cloud 9
Listen to the world and what it sound like
Everything ain't always what it seems
So I stay up here just let me dream

Sometimes I need a chill beat to rap to
No matter what I’ve got the page to come back to
I do this for myself and the people diggin this is a bonus
I know this so of course I switch it up and show it flow this
Like a lotus with hypnotic phonics man
Listen to the syntax that’s how you know I’m honest on this
And I’ve been that bustin at the seam to beam while crowds scream
Shh just let me dream
Break away from the norm forget about the patterns
For now you can catch me slidin up and down the rings of Saturn
Splatter white paint create the stars and the Milky Way
All of us are one in this universe that I think I made
Lookin at the stars playin a game of connect the dots
Your life is your property and you select the lot
This dream of mine it might seem crazy but look man
It feels so right it’s like I’m hangin out in Brooklyn
 
You can catch me chillin up on Cloud 9
Listen to the world and what it sound like
This is what I’m hearin when I write rhyme
Imma keep it comin for my lifetime
You can catch me chillin up on Cloud 9
Listen to the world and what it sound like
Everything ain't always what it seems
So I stay up here just let me dream

Never felt more control than puttin ink on the page
Pour my heart into every track like I think I’m on stage
Gettin blinded by the light call my Springsteen
Lovin how I’m livin life no matter what it brings me
I’m more into makin change than makin dollars
I think that you’d agree with us if you saw us making solace
And no matter what your riches like you can’t buy time
So I do what I love and write rhyme while life fly by
My dream is to make an honest livin off my passion
And I ain't slowin down I’m showin how I can make it happen
Rackin my brain for what my heart is tellin it till I fell in it
Just because I’m makin money off my soul don’t mean I’m sellin it
My dream is to make an honest livin off my passion
And I ain't slowin down I’m showin how I can make it happen
Rackin my brain for what my heart is tellin it till I fell in it
Just because I’m makin money off my soul don’t mean I’m sellin it

You can catch me chillin up on Cloud 9
Listen to the world and what it sound like
Everything ain't always what it seems
So I stay up here just let me dream

Let Me Dream

"Soliloquy" is now available on all streaming services including Apple Music and Spotify.

LYRICS:

I ain’t board of games I guess I gotta gammon all 
Need another term it isn’t like Buchanan’s call
No calamity I breathe it in when Ganon falls
Jumping in with no regard I’m like a cannonball
I made a wave I’m paid to stay and 
Pave the way until I fade away 
So I’m driving to the hoop just like I’m Donovan Mitchel
Like referee's lips this’ll wet your whistle
I’m in the middle of solvin the riddle to 
Get all these people to disarm their missiles
You have the power to bloom like a flower but 
Needed a bit just to sift through the thistle
This’ll make you bask in the wind of bliss 
Takin off the mask so you know that I be into this
Raising up the mast cause this trail is so precipitous
Comin at you fast with serendipitous impetus

This’ll fertilize your mind 
This’ll murder lies you find
This’ll hurdle eyes unkind
This’ll burgle ties that bind
This’ll fertilize your mind 
This’ll murder lies you find
This’ll hurdle eyes unkind
This’ll burgle ties that bind

Mandatory like iodine when I fine dine
Find wine to rewind the stress of the mind's eye
In hindsight I think might fight against the slight plight
Causing fright nights I can’t quite bite
You can catch me munchin avocado sip Moscato
In my grotto every day I hit the lotto that’s my motto 
Call me Otto cause I’m not a shoobie, I just do me
Cruisin up the mountains whippin in my Subi
I’m a mischievous artist just call me rapscallion
Come from behind like The Black Stallion
That valiant, goin on and on like I’m a millipede
You can hear my thoughts in this song guess it’s my soliloquy
Please believe I always keep it raw like a ceviche
We say, lyrics never fishy here’s a free taste
He may, wanna slow it down like it’s a replay
Behave, This song feelin strong up on a weekday

This’ll fertilize your mind 
This’ll Murder lies you find
This’ll hurdle eyes unkind
This’ll burgle ties that bind
This’ll fertilize your mind 
This’ll Murder lies you find
This’ll hurdle eyes unkind
This’ll burgle ties that bind

LYRICS:

CHORUS
When we roll up to the spot you know we get it litted man and
The ceiling can’t hold us no you can’t lid it
Drippin in the gear yea you know we kitted and
When the squad up on the mountain know we gettin pitted 
Boofin in the spot so we gettin Lifted man and you
Knowin we gon get it by the way we’re fitted
Even though I’m far sighted I don’t see a limit
Now I need a minute need a minute need a minute

VERSE 1
This a ride feelin like I’ll never die
So alive breathin in the life with a rhyme it’s a vibe
Young Rodge in the booth and
We making moves keep it smooth whipping in the coup
Always try to hit it on the nose with a boop
Scoring always makes me want to eat that wanton soup
Soaring in a mood look at me now, wow
Bustin a rhyme like Chris Brown, wow
More in never borin and they wonderin how are we
Moving from stern to the bow, wow
Takin off from port and sorting out all the accords
Setting sail for more important things to contort In our orbit 
Lookin for it in the star board and feelin foreign in an
Intergalactic tactic aboard the soarin emporium
Feelin so hesh
Call me Wendy's cause I’m never frozen always fresh to the 
Death I can see through the B.S. like it’s mesh 
Excuse the mess welcome to the wild wild wild west

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Gotta keep my soul don’t want the fame and sins 
Now I’m on a roll like the game with pins
Knock em down never strikin out I keep it three hundred 
Stepping up and I run it back whenever he punt it
Always put the most in and I’m aimin to win
Feelin like I’m floating know the Name of the Wind
Flows are always smokin like a cig do 
Feelin wavy setting sail I got a rig too
Chompin on the sound bite got a big tooth
Snoozin on the feuds yea that’s a big mood
Know this track flame like I Bic it up
When the beat drop imma pick it up
Man I’m really hopin that you stick with us
We’ll be all-encompassin I guess that we ubiquitous 
Missing us with the drama always keeping poise makin
Noise hope you don’t mind it like the word moist
Someone once told me being happy was a choice ever
Since I’ve been on a roll you can call me Royce

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Lookin at my wrist wonder where the time is
Flyin having fun baring all I guess I’m Calvin kleinin 
Everyday we grindin
Climb into my mind and kick your feet up just reclinin 
Laid back never stressin never messin just learnin lessons 
And we countin blessins on blessins on blessins on blessins
Never slip like I’m wearin cleats
Winning and I hope it’s fair in meets
Pushing for the top like I’m scaling peaks
I ain’t got a plug like I’m pairin Beats
This is breezy, feelin like the truth
Keep it easy, dealin in the booth
This is steezy, reelin in the troops
Keep it greasy, feelin really smooth
Doin what I’m supposed to like I’m tying on my fate and 
I ain't from the 6 but I'm flyin like a Drake
Spitting fire my desire seein what I bake ate my 
Cake and I have it too man it’s tastin great that’s my
Take 

CHORUS
