This mixtape was originally released in 2020, around Christmas, in the format of an EP. It was deleted a couple weeks after, but I decided to bring it back, as it's a work I'm deeply proud of. It was written and recorded in one day (16 hours to be exact), towards the end of 2020 (around September). A spur of the moment thing. Kratuz was so gracious to even embark on this journey with me. Unnanounced, unrestricted, unboxed, we simply created with no bounds. This was the result - a body of work so spontaneous, R&B at the core, with a trap undertone, wrapped up on a light concept; the after taste of a potential great relationship.

"You'll Know"

[Intro] x2
EH-EH-YAH-
EH-EH-YAH-
EH-EH-YAH-

[Chorus]
Every day has highs and lows
Gotta hold tight
Maintain the flow
Don't rush things you can't control
Things get hard
I know, I know
Secret's in the way you deal with cold
Your time will come
And then you'll know

[Verse 1]
You might think 
I'm irrational
But trust me it's not personal
Hopes and dreams are within reach
Just crack the code
Worst thing you can do
Is to block yourself, it's true
You got all that potential

[Chorus]
Every day has highs and lows
Gotta hold tight
Maintain the flow
Don't rush things you can't control
Things get hard
I know, I know
Secret's in the way you deal with cold
Your time will come
And then you'll know


[Verse 2]
Clear your head
It's all in your mind
Step by step
Give yourself some time
You can relax
Please forget your pride
It's all in you
Don't deny your right
To be wrong
Or to get it right
Let them know
You're worth more 
Than a dime

[Chorus x2] 
Every day has highs and lows
Gotta hold tight
Maintain the flow
Don't rush things you can't control
Things get hard
I know, I know
Secret's in the way you deal with cold
Your time will come
And then you'll know

[Bridge x2]
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Your greatest strength lies in letting go
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Take some time 
To let go
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Then you'll know

[RAP]
As we ascend
We can't let go
Of the things we once knew
And fake the call
That's the easiest way
To be ignored
To taint the score
To overlook the process
Fool the eyes
And paint yourself perfect
Foolish prize
We both know the struggle
The trying times, yeah
We all trying to survive
To stay alive
We all trying to buy time
To get by
We all trying to show love
To end up dead by these police crimes
And my final thoughts
Don't let the human subside
You gotta stay the course
You gotta stay alive
You gotta stay the course
You gotta stay alive
You gotta stay alive

Pillow

"Sunday"

 [V1]
I don't know which way is up 
I really wanna go high with you 
But the feelings I gotta share 
They're not points of view 
They're what I feel
Baby right now
Cruising downtown with you

[Chorus]
Cause I'm high 
Really faded love 
I'ma see your every goal
Every beat I'm making calls tonight 
Cause I'm high 
Really feeling 'love supply' 
And I don't really wanna miss a spot 
Ah, Sunday Sunday, funday

Killian - Good Habits

First single from the debut EP, "Flawed Ego", coming soon.

Letra/Lyric:

[V1]
Come on
Pick me up
Put me down
Tell me no
Play the score
Close the door
Crack the window
Let me know
I'm hanging by a small tree
Crawling naked in this cold
Don't tell me what I shouldn't do
When you're not here
Let me go

[Chorus]
I live for the higher moments
They're so bright and blue
I wish I could maximize
But love couldn't see us through
Love couldn't see us through
It could not see us through

Help me to deal with the pressure
That buries me down and low
Teach me how to measure
How to feel you close
How to appreciate
The beauty that runs through your skin
I knocked so hard
Let me in
I knocked so hard
Let me in

Let me in

[V2]
Why you make it so hard
I'm so easy to love
But I cannot read your mind
You'd rather play your part
And leave me lonely
Hands open,
Burned by the sun
You're lucky I forgive you
As many times as you need
So you can take your time
'Cause

[Chorus]
I live for the higher moments
They're so bright and blue
I wish I could maximize
But love couldn't see us through
Love couldn't see us through
It could not see us through

Help me to deal with the pressure
That buries me down and low
Teach me how to measure
How to feel you close
How to appreciate
The beauty that runs through your skin
I knocked so hard
Let me in
I knocked so hard
Let me in

[Outro]
Let me in and let me go

Let Me In

The third promo single from the upcoming EP, "Flawed Ego" is now available!

It's a track about my breaking point - when I'm done with explaining & patience has run its course; when I'm on that mood, I need clear answers, no beating around the bush - be explicit. It's also about when we camouflage our own demons, in order to go through life.

[V1]
Empty bottles on the floor
Don't you hate how you
Don't give me more
Searching for a love that's undefined
Don't you hate how we
Waste all this time

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you tryna say
I'm not in the mood for a talk that's small
I just wanna understand it all
Whatever it is
I'll take the fall
I'll say no when I want it
And yes when I don't feel like it

[Chorus]
Come on and talk to me
Tell me the things I wanna hear
You know what to talk about
The days we left behind
The things that we should try
When I was in denial
Feeling uninspired

[V2]
In a clear state of mind
Decided to give it one more try
How we pray for illusions
To mask our deep confusions
And we're still here facing the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever it is
I'll take the fall
I'll say no when I want it
And yes when I don't feel like it

[Chorus]
Come on and talk to me
Tell me the things I wanna hear
You know what to talk about
The days we left behind
The things that we should try
When I was in denial
Feeling uninspired

[Outro]
The days we left behind
The things that we should try
When I was in denial
Feeling uninspired

Uninspired

The fourth and final single from the EP "Flawed Ego".

"Ride" is about letting go of expectations, being able to enjoy and cherish the moment, no distractions.

[V1]
If the sun was hiding
Would you come to me 
Tell me all your secrets
You know they're safe and free
'Cause in this world of fools
You must hide the key
Keep it far away from the ones
That don't believe

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to call
It's a plan for two
Make your pretty way down
Just come through
I can work with pressure 
Baby, it's just me and you
You can make it happen

[Chorus]
Ride
Hide
Don't let anybody know
Let's go
With the flow
It's so hot 
We're in the zone
Escape
Don't wait 
It's our chance 
We're on the way
To our favourite place
I'm yours to take

[V2]
Test drive
Handle with care
Take the keys
You'll find me there
Explore
Babe, don't you dare
To go slow

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to call
It's a plan for two
Make your pretty way down
Just come through
I can work with pressure 
Baby, it's just me and you
You can make it happen


[Chorus]
(x2)
Ride
Hide
Don't let anybody know
Let's go
With the flow
It's so hot 
We're in the zone
Escape
Don't wait 
It's our chance 
We're on the way
To our favourite place
I'm yours to take

[Outro]
Don't let anybody know
Just gotta keep it on the low
No need to be scared
It's yours 
Go ahead

Ride

A gift for your Valentine's Day.

Chorus interpolates "Easy" by DaniLeigh featuring Chris Brown

[Intro x2]
I don’t know myself
Maybe I need help

[V1]
Sittin’ on my kingsize bed
I shouldn’t be surprised you’re there
Late from your pity party (party)
Why would you ask all about me
When you clearly know you’re missin’
I can’t even express the pain (the pain)

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you do the things you do
Expecting me to be that fool
That I always was for you (for you)
You played it well
Don’t you, don’t you
Know the good ones could turn blue
You better run from this bedroom (bedroom)

[Chorus]
I don’t know myself
Maybe I need help
Come and take your hell
Give it to somebody else

[Kratuz]
Amor e prazer é diferente
Estou habituado à dor
Juro que quero seguir em frente
Sem ter de guardar rancor
Lidar com os meus sentimentos
Se faz sentido, faz sentir
Mas como não estás presente
Não faz diferença estar sem ti
Viro o jogo do avesso pergunta
O preço eu não te digo
Viraste o jogo do avesso
Não há prazer, já não te ligo
A tua inocência é o teu maior perigo
Convenceste a minha pessoa que
Estava tudo errado comigo
Agora eu paro por uma beca
E penso se vale o meu esforço
Arrepios pelas vértebras
E uma corda ao pescoço, diria:

I don’t know myself
Maybe I need help

E p’ra sair do poço eu deixei o coração lá em baixo
Não me faz falta e tão pouco te faz a ti eu acho
Deixou de ter importância
Preciso do meu espaço
Cansei da tua implicância
E discussões ao acaso

[Chorus]
I don’t know myself
Maybe I need help
Come and take your hell
Give it to somebody else

[Outro x2]
I don’t know myself
Maybe I need help

Letra/Lyric:

[V1]
I'm awake when you dream 
Finding excuses to not interrupt your fate
'Cause it would be a mistake 
To cut the plans that you made
So I let you create 
The rules 
Take the lead
Do your thing
Take the lead
Do your thing

[Chorus]
I care enough 
You know I do 
I take the blame that first took you 
I make your ambitions mine
I try so hard
And still I don't get it right
Right right right
Still I don't get it right
Right right right
Still I don't get it right
Right right right
Right right right

[V2]
Trying my best to behave
Stay in my place
I just wanna see your smile
Even if it means 
The end of my integrity 
Even if it means 
The start of my insecurities

[Chorus]
I care enough 
You know I do 
I take the blame that first took you 
I make your ambitions mine
I try so hard
And still I don't get it right
Right right right
Still I don't get it right
Right right right
Still I don't get it right
Right right right
Right right right

[Bridge]
Don't say I don't care
When I do
Don't play with the time
That I gave you
I know it's for the best
I want to make it last 

[Chorus]
I care enough 
You know I do 
I take the blame that first took you 
I make your ambitions mine
I try so hard
And still I don't get it right
Right right right
Still I don't get it right
Right right right
Still I don't get it right
Right right right
Right right right

06. Care

Lyric/Letra:

[V1]
Right from the first time
Didn't give a damn
The ones who know
They don't share
About the ones who care
To paint a picture with no frame
A cherry without the cake
They don't appreciate
And even then, they hate

[Pre-Chorus]
Now why would you come with no warning
So unnanounced
You got me
There's no doubt
Now I am tangled up in your spider
It's so unhealthy 
I can't
I need you to let me down (x2)
Why won't you let me down

[Chorus]
Breathing pains
That is what you do
Drink straight from the cup 
And let me spill the truth
All over me
All over you 
Look at the mess we made
This is my worst case

[Outro]
Breathing pains
That's what you do
Drink from the cup
Let me spill the truth
All over me
All over you
The mess we made
That's my worst case
