Snuck In My Bed

A little over a year ago I was involved with someone. A short-lived romance, I found myself falling into a usual cycle of initial infatuation, a halfway commitment, and an eventual falling out. I had always attributed failed relationships to my pursuit of music. That my craft and career were the root causes of my issues. But a little over a year ago, I finally asked myself why. Why was I the constant factor in these situations? I spoke with family and friends at length during a trip back home to Sacramento, CA. A trip that forced me to take an honest look at myself and realize how much of a work in progress I was/still am, and it ultimately changed my outlook and approach to love. And well...I’d like to share with you what was found. An introspective and observational piece entitled ALLISON. A chance for me to share my truths, and the truths of some of the people I know.

Crazy Thoughts (Ft. Figgy Baby)

Lyrics:

Verse 1
You passed the joint, I had the joint in my head
While you expanded, I was standin’ on the ledge
The vibe was magnified in a sober space
I’m not judgin’ , just wanna get shit out the way

Pre-chorus
There was smoke blowin’, drinks flowin’
I was sitting in a corner with a beat goin
Who knew two measures could do pleasure
When your love forever keeps growin
When you’re through bullshittin 
Just sit and listen to the tools given
A higher vision than what you get
It’s a callin’ for the music
You know you’re meant to do this

Chorus
If I could write a melody to free us
Then I would sacrifice it all
I know that I could find another reason
But only you decide if it’s bonafide

Verse 2
You wanted beef cuz you were focused on bread
I wanted us to eat but still feed souls instead
No ties, ostracized for a different taste
I’m not judgin’, but it’s best we separate

Pre-chorus
Money ain’t greener when you kick in the door
Bask in the glow, gets stacks and start asking for more
I know ya
Cuz you get what he get and he get what she get
But that beget greed when you think you need it all
Walking over your people, de’evils leave you with a soul be so sus
But your pockets swole up and that’s what
Keep karma on yo’ ass
A lack of trust walkin your path
I rather make a livin off the love of the craft, ugh

(Rpt. Chorus)

I know that we got our reasons
All I want is our freedom
If I could write a melody now, write a melody I would
If I could write a melody now, write a melody I would

AS FREE AS THE MUSIC

Gathered the homies to record live versions of a couple of songs off of ALLISON. These fellas are not only dope musicians, but great friends, so the chemistry was already there. Shout out to J. DSGN for engineering the session at Clear Lake Recording Studios. 

This is my song "Where Do We Go" mixed in to a little of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody". 

Enjoy!
