lyrics:
Got some people out here wishing on my downfall
Got some other people hoping that i popped off
Got my family and friends, so i guess to my defense
Don’t need a rollie or a benz
My life a freefall

i don’t have no time for this shit
If i pull up to the function and i party a bit
Kno it’s back to work at 4am i’m still making hits
While the competition rest, im out here building my shit

Truss me homie u dont want a war
In this industry the money takes you far
And these broke boyz think their talent make em stars
I guess that’s cool if u like staying where u are.

Don’t play with me and yeah i’ll say it again
If u dont get it forget it that just more ink the pen
To write this passive aggressive bars
wishing on on shooting stars
Time will expose the frauds
I ain’t gon take a loss

wait
Sorry if i’m hating
I get hella mad when everyone complacent
See, what i mean aint form of jealousy
Nothing no one has is ever far from my reach 

Tell me if i’m wrong right now
Hate me cuz u know i’m right
I just kno im freefallin

Love me cuz it’s wrong right now
Hate me cuz u kno it’s right
I jus kno im freefallin

Thru It All

Time 4 Games

You know that my life is a movie
I got hella drama and some comedy
Lost a couple friends, off to better things
But i do it for the fam and those close to me
You know what they mean to me

I got hella issues; you can’t help me with that
I’ve been working too hard need to take a step back
I need to get away my mind is racing everyday
I gotta keep it all together no lie

Cause i remember yuri
She told me not to worry
Cause people always watchin
So go head craft your story

I could see the future i can take you there
I motivate myself I’m never unprepared
Tell me if i’m going crazy
I will never be complacent
I just know i’ve put in the time

HOOK
Don’t go wasting your time
Tryna tell me that i’m wasting mine
U ain’t gotta tell me that i’m bout to shine
U kno i got passion that u can’t define
Don’t go crossing that line
In your feelings cuz i’m getting mine
I’m not tryna tell you how to live your life
U just gotta know that i’ve been focused on mine


Focused on mine
Focused on mine


I see the seasons come and go
I see the trends come up and fall
I tell my friends and they don’t seem to understand

But i’m
Done with the bullshit
I’m sick of excuses
I’m comin’ up right now
Even if they tell me that i can not
Even if they don’t let me, they’ll find out
Tell me who’s fault is that
I swear dismissal is the only reason why i would spazz
Xannie, percocet and some other things
I got allergies, diphenhydramine
I admit i haven’t been all there
But I’m never unaware
I just need myself

I just been stuck within these walls
Struggling to try to win them all
But I know now it’s not my place. It’s not my fault.
I just know who I am today
Won’t ever give up or go away
I know the truth is that I’ll be here. I’m here to stay.

HOOK

Focused On Mine

Unprepared

A sappy love song for some interesting times. 👉🏽👈🏽🥺

Quarantine Tonight (dpih 2020)
This world is crazy but baby I’m bout to risk it all
I need somebody some medicine but not Tylenol
Can you help me out?
So when the raindrops turn to teardrops
I just can’t wait for that missed call from you
I kno I just can’t blame the flu for this
And now I’m talking wreckless
Tell me if I’m making sense if
I’m making my point clear
Social distancing doesn’t work here

Hook:
Let’s quarantine tonight
Our Bodies intertwined you kno it’s right
We can sweat the fever out tonight
Let’s quarantine tonight
U can choose the movie I’ll bring the wine
U ain’t gotta sleep alone tonight

I’m feelin septic I meant it need a bolus of your love
I’m tachycardic it’s hard enough not to feel your touch
I’m feelin febrile your eyes got me burnin up
I think I need a nurse, oh wait
Didn’t wanna catch feelings, too late

And tell me what’s been on your mind?
I’m fiending for ya thru this IV line.
Maybe you could stay a while x 2

Got me 5150
For you, you kno I’ll be
Goin crazy for ya
U the virus, im the cdc
Gotta get the cbc before they cancel edc

Hook:
Let’s quarantine tonight
Our Bodies intertwined you kno it’s right
We can sweat the fever out tonight
Let’s quarantine tonight
U can choose the movie I’ll bring the wine
U ain’t gotta sleep alone tonight
(wash your hands before you enter)
(I’ll wash my hands before I enter)

Quarantine Tonight

A Rainy Day Song

If I can recall correctly, the last time I released music with my own vocals on it has been 4 years ago. A lot of things have changed since then. I'm now a Registered Nurse; I live comfortably; and I have a lot of time on my hands.

With this time, I find myself drifting to remote places in my mind where I overanalyze close to every facet of..well..I guess, life. The past three months have been a blur, consisting of ups and downs, a prescription of medicine for briefly being diagnosed with situational anxiety, and plenty of sleepless nights and even longer drives..as cliche as that sounds.

This song reflects upon the last three months, as evidenced by the atypical dark undertones I'm not used to producing. This song features Tricia Coronel on background vocals. I apologize for my absenteeism from music, but I'm glad to be back.

Overthink ft. Tricia Coronel
Lyrics and Production by: Derek Portea
2013

i sometimes wonder if the people at the top
enjoy the view with tired eyes
since these eyes undergone
a change, now if i'm wrong,
is it crazy if i said, "it's the same?"

if i decide
to take the leap of faith my heart
tells me to do
when my mind hesitates
partly to the defense
of insecurities- they've been broke through

i'm not the one you should be mad at
since my hands are doing all the work
my mouth fails to speak, and again my eyes don't blink
and again the floor crumbles beneath my feet

i find myself falling falling falling
my breathing's getting deeper deeper deeper
my heart rate's getting faster faster faster
now tell me what comes after

i'm only getting closer closer closer
to what i've only dreamed of
(and i thought i was sleeping)
i'm only getting closer closer closer
i'm only getting older older older

i sometimes wonder if the people at the top
observe the view from tired eyes
