MADLIB DIDN'T GIVE ME THIS BEAT LMFAO. I JUST FELT INSPIRED TO WRITE. I don't write too often. Some of the reasons why is production based. Beats be dope, but sometimes they don't call me to write to them. I've been wanting to write to this shit for months and It just poured out of me yesterday. Shoutout to Madlib for the constant inspiration

DUMMIIRAP [Freeverse] (Prod. Madlib)

fast or slow! [prod. warheart]

I worked on this song in the studio as the first release of many to come. I thought about taking music seriously and I spent time finding my sound and learning to infuse that sound with my rap style. I'm into J Dilla and hip hop soul so I was inspired to utilize a beat created by Ian James who specializes in making Dilla type beats to make a song that gives homage to that style.

(verse 1)
i been feelin some way
i got some skeletons in my closet
i’m tryna move back to LA
do i even got enough money in my pocket
a dollar and a dream
3 years ago
1 man team
i been all alone
mr independent
i do this on my own
waiting for the day
that i hear them say that

(hook)
they say that they see me
see me on they tv
sayin that they know me
say they wanna be me
ima win a grammy
ima tell my granny
tell me that they love me
show love to my family
if i have some problems
money gonna solve em
right up in the billboards
never at the bottom
enemies will envy
make em wanna end me
ima get that fake love
got em actin friendly

(hook 2)
yeah i try
don’t stop
yeah i won some
and some lost
gave up on school
that’s off
this music all i got
my conscious to the side
tryna push thru with no high
think i got too much pride
maybe this all a lie
it’s the time and money
investing, checks in my bank
it’s the grind, the fans
and i look up at my rank
they still tell me i’m nothing
but i don’t care it’s okay
i still try, i try
but they always gonna hate
make a 100 thousand
hollywood housing
more than just a dream
with the money that i’m counting
maybe this is nothing
maybe they was bluffing
maybe this ain’t real
i got nobody to trust in

(hook)

(verse 3)
i ain’t ignorant but thats just what they really want
portraying images and and shock value put you on
say you bout it boy but where the hell you really from
dickriding and trust making a fake bond
twitter beefing and clout chasing and shooting shots
creativity shrunken while ive been in this box
i ain’t bout to be something that i’m just really not
burning bridges i’m walking over these broken rocks
