Episode 457 | "Poking The Bear"

Woke up numb, feeling like it's been so long, gone
Same old song, starting to forget where I'm from
Looking at regret, wonder where it all went wrong
Though it's dark and the shine gets dim I know I can flick a switch and the light goes on
And we on
I'm just trying to better me, something ain't letting me
Feel my destiny curve like the letter C
Hearing here-say, that shit is heresy
Blocking out what the voices are telling me
Saw a future I know that they'll never see
Feel the pressure I can't let it get to me
Trying to sculpt every word like an effigy
I know somewhere inside is the remedy
Who'd have known it as kids, we'd all grow up like this and I'd have to go and book that flight
He had so much to give, hope he know what it is, lost a brother when he took that life
Ain't stop feeling him since, we all got fingerprints left on how the city looks at night
Try to stay on the path
'Bout time I go and hook that right

I got right of way
They can say the feeling ain't safe
I just write of way
Charge one up to the game

Woke up clear, I know why the fuck I'm here, yeah
Ain't no fear, hands on the wheel I steer, yeah
Take it all in, grateful to breathe that air, yeah
But I can't help feeling like there's something different in that mirror right there, yeah
Maybe this a time for reflection
Maybe I been caught up in the grind but I'm destined
Maybe I'm just lazy, and it's all on me to test it
But lately something's telling me it's all in my perception, right
I know what we see can be projections
You know what I'm saying like you're finishing my sentence
If I'm ever praying then I'm preying on my checklist
We ain't ever playing, trying to stack it like it's Tetris, right
Knew I was something from back in the day
Used to have visions of catching the train
Suit and a case, all packed in our place
Never content as just rats in the race
Doubt can teach us to practice restraint
Tell us its one way it actually ain't
Damage the vessel, can't damage the faith
We never knew it would happen this way

Lyrics : 
I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby
I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby

Cause that’s where you are love
your the one I want
and I’m missing you missing you
I had to do my own thing but I should be there with you
kissing you kissing you yeah

I know that you miss me and you say you need me
but you know that work is calling I need to go
distance makes the heart grow fonder and its so true
can’t wait to go
home to you

I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby
I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby

I visualize palm trees blue skies 
warm days long nights my man by my side 
instead I don't know why there's no sun up in the sky 
stormy weather 
since my man and I aren't together 
For real down south
It's been the coldest winter out
My heads even filling with doubt
If you've been loyal to me now
Wondering if 
I dropped all the work that I've stacked up 
And I hopped on to a plane thinking il warm up
But it's more than just a time difference 
Wondering can we go the distance ?
And when we connect again
will we still feel same?
Remember Last time
When you brought the sun rays
As I take off in the sky
Hoping that I don't bring the rain
this time

Episode 418 | "Hustle and Flow"

Melbourne based/West-coast raised lyricist Aero.D has been putting pen to page since primary school. His songs are cathartic, forged from a desire to accurately represent himself, his perspective and his emotions through his words. Aeros sound is introspective, abstract and ethereal blended with both traditional and new-school HipHop sensibilities.
A member of seminal mid-2000s Perth HipHop duo Down South Crew with longtime collaborator Cortext, Aero has shared the stage with many of his childhood idols and inspirations including Atmosphere, KRS-One, Evidence and Drapht among many others. 
“CIRCLES” (Aeros first release since 2016s independent album “Shedding Skins”) is a collection of 8 songs representing the evolution of the artist from insecure 20-something to a man ready to claim his ‘young OG’ status.
