Yea life throws bricks
but you won't catch me sitting around with my ass in my hands
Don't think at any point in time I need you to feel sorry for me or have pity for me
shhhhhh
I got this

Right now I'm struggling to breath 
My lungs are full of concrete 
I toss and turn when I sleep
'Cause I'm out in the storm with roots sprung from my feet

Now I'm sitting here humble
It's the height of the struggle 
Unable to fight, darkness over light and I knew I sensed trouble
Its like karma's catching up what's going 'round is comin 'round
despite the alarms warning to what is right
Supposed to hold a poker face playing the hand I'm holdin 
The weight of my burden rests upon my shoulders I'm not foldin
I'm left grinning, im not afraid to dig in
So listen THIS now AS I INTERJECT my opinion
You better respect all those lessons your livin and seize the only opportunities at wisdom your given 
Sense the importance of life right from where you are sittin
Find the courage inside aside your current position
Stand up
Find those out there that that are pure with their intentions,
intent with their direction and try to make a difference
I can fix this wont be long now
but i know it's not just me
we could all use something real to hold on to right now

You gotta Be the Light

-------------------- 
You can try and break me down
	but I keep on Moving
I follow the Sound
	Follow the sound because it is so soothing
This is my life and I don't know any other way
	So I turn to you and say

---------------------


I'm trying to hold my composure now but this over exposure to mental torture needs to cease
I'm worked over
I'm tired of life
Tired of reaching for peace
Sweep my feet from under me out of spite then try to bend me over 
I've seen this all before, despite the lore along the roads we've traveled in a split second everything distorts
I've lost my courage but won't get discouraged
Regardless of the circumstances built to shoulder the burden, I'm learning
One day I opened my eyes and I came to realize that I had a reason to rise on my two feet and stand up to fight
Ignite in flight n shoot off through night like a shooting star streaking through the sky
I know myself as my biggest critic and best believe I aint holding nothing back 
No holds barred across the bars
Won't see any bullshit gimmicks
Just here to express myself
Musics my way to cope and I hope to give hope to someone else
Without that what are we?
We can barely make it a day scraping the skin off our own teeth
Part of me just wants to give up
Got the pedal smashed to the floor but I can't let up
Not taking this anymore
I've had it up to here
I'm ready to steer clear of any stress
Won't hear me left grasping my chest in distress
Hope I'm crystal clear
This is my song and where I belong, I feel free
I'm right at home
This is my therapy

You can try and break me down
you can try and break me down

-------------------- 
You can try and break me down
	but I keep on Moving
I follow the Sound
	Follow the sound because it is so soothing
This is my life
	 I don't know any other way
		So I turn to you and say

---------------------

You can try and break me down but I'm not moving
Just listen to the sound because it is so soothing
This is my life you're never going to take it away from me
So I turn to you and say

Sometimes you got to Be the Light in order to follow the Light
You can find yourself out of any dark situation
Doesn't matter where your put
Stand up on your own two feet

Be the Light

Reminisce over memories of us growing up 
Miss sipping on purple passion until im throwing up
Falling in love in high school and party until the sun comes up
Those were the days but now it seems like we've all grow up
Still remember running the halls and skipping class 
Sad how hands on the clock so quickly pass 
Sleeping the day away for the hell of it 
Time was only relative
Back then, it wasn't even relevant
Everybody was always together
We could always weather the weather, whenever, always so clever
Never ever been better
Life taught us lessons every day some took it easy  
while others choose the hard way
Just the other day i swear i could still hear you laughing like an echo down a long dark hallway
When they say the good die young, theres truth in that
Those moments become memories you'll never get em back

I can remember the days when i was just a young boy
As we age they fade away so I hold them in my heart tucked away in a special place

I can remember man - prior to heroin -
Before our friends were overdosing in the gas station
Cruisin Engel
13 people stuffed in a Regal
Only concern is the plates weren't legal
There were the parties on the hilltops
Runnin from cops who would stop us from seizing the legions parking lots
Ducking down in the back of the trunk
Back in the day when we were carefree not giving a SHHHHH
Oh how we all have changed so much
The closest of friends just fell out of touch
Some enjoy the family life, others chose another path, their serving their time 
No matter what distance is between us
I'll always remember your smile
Because it was our moment and I'm gonna hold it 
Its those small things that remind me  every once in awhile

I can remember the days when i was just a young boy
As we age they fade away so I hold them in my heart tucked away in a special place

King of the hill, Hide n Seek, Kick the Can 
9-o-clock Moms calling for us to come in
Street lights come on at days end 
We can say our goodbyes and do it all over again
Wreckless thinking theres always a tomorrow 
86,000 seconds you just borrowed
Why just stand there idle n let life pass you by
Don’t be a passenger in your own ride - DRIVE -
Thank you mom and dad, for making me a stronger man
Following my dreams I'm reaching for the stars again
Through lifes struggles I can dish out what im picking up
It's knocking me down this time but best believe i'm getting right back up
I'm not always around but this is true
I'll slow down just to be able to say this to you
I love you
When the last minutes pass and your laying there wondering why
no one is there to hold your hand and say goodbye
You realize there is only minutes to spare
to try tell the ones you hold dear
you love em you care
Unless your breathing your last breath
Gripping the pillow not willing to let go before your laid to rest
It's always too late when that moment arrives 
Some dont even get a chance to say their goodbyes
Think about that

I can remember the days when i was just a young boy
As we age they fade away so I hold them in my heart tucked away in a special place

Shout Out (Demo)

Anything For You

Bass Diddy (bass guitar acapella)

Hopped on this track cause I dig the shit out of the beat - Remember Me.

Duce Negan Ft DeedzSTL - Remember Me

"See You is a track that explores the pathway through grief, the loss of ones self and the final discovery of Hope during the darkest times of grief. It was my way of processing those emotions and without the support of my friends Matthew Kelly and Mike Bivens this song would have stayed buried inside of me; along with all those feelings of hopelessness and emptiness."

Written, Recorded and Produced by Deedz, Matthew Kelly and Michael Bivens

See You Featuring Matthew Kelly

I am me and you are you. We are not the same and never will be. Don't judge me, judge yourself. I tell it how I see it and music is my therapy. I don't care who people think I sound like, I'm being me and I'm only trying to sound like myself. Thanks for listening. Throwin some St Louis love at cha. Deedz
