Description: felt like movin' a bunch of my old tracks over here from soundclick... all this stuff is at least six years old... hopefully when I FINALLY drop new music you'll see some growth and improvement lol...

Moving Slowly was a track I wrote when I was at a low a couple winters ago. Things weren't going the way I wanted and my lady was the only thing there for me is how it felt. Things were moving slowly, at speeds I could no longer recognize. What was once a fast lifestyle felt like it had come to a screeching halt. I think a lot of people could relate to the feeling. This track was really the beginning of when something different came from that feeling and how it sounded when I put it to the music.

Lyrics:

The sun still shines in the winter time...
There’s nothin’ I won’t do to see you in the light...
Christmas ain’t the same, funds a little tight...
But ain’t a thing wrong with how you look tonight...
I feel crazy.... mind so hazy...
can you blame me? Okay, maybe...
But baby, I’m wrong... 'cause I think I’m right,
I’m tryin’ to see... while I look in the light...
Like pickin’ a rose, without expecting a thorn,
Like walkin’ in a house but you ain’t been there before...
...Our hearts break down... but not overnight...
losin’ who we love right before our eyes...
Fighting is so stupid, what a waste of time...
Leave no one behind..

(I tell myself)
we’ll be okay...
I think of where we’ll be one day...
I don’t care if you can feel my pain
Nah, I ain’t worried.
Tell me if you hear my brain..
No one can get in my way...
I wanna see the moonlight change...
I’m moving slowly...

My mind is suicide, how can I make it stop?
I wanna live our life... but I’m trapped in a box...
I need to be the needed one; my needy heart,
your joy is intravenous, guess that makes me Mars...
Starlight fading... I been aging...
How degrading... please, don’t hate me... 
I get so hurt by the ones I love -
I seen a little water wash away the blood...
I never close my mouth, no, I ain’t scared of mud..
I can feel the stars when I ain’t lookin’ up...
It gets so hard, I know we’ll make it through...
Especially you smiling in the way you do...
The sun is still a Star if you ain’t heard the news...
And you are my moon...

(I tell myself)
we’ll be okay...
I think of where we’ll be one day...
I don’t care if you can feel my pain
Nah, I ain’t worried.
Tell me if you hear my brain..
No one can get in my way...
I wanna see the moonlight change...
I’m moving slowly...

Cody Nash (formerly ThatKidCry), Udey, and Theory are all known promoters and artists from the Northwest region of the United States. All 3 promoters combined have booked HUNDREDS of local and national level performers from around the globe and brought them to their region and represent their area by ACTIVITY and taking action.

Our work honestly speaks for itself, and it was a cool experience to get on a track together with these two and talk our shit. Shout out to the leaders and the talented individuals out there pushing for their region and giving their life to music for pennies on the dollar. It's a hard business, but it's also rewarding to be a PILLAR in this game

Look out for Theory and Udey as they still throw shows and put on talent here in the Northwest.

This song is from a dope time with a brother and sister duo who gave me the honor of writing such an involved and back and forth CLASSIC sounding hip hop joint with them... we sat together and picked up from where the other left off and created one super cohesive track together. It was cool to be in the middle of their brother and sister bond and just rappin' in between the lines with them. Half Mast is about staying true to who you are without giving up on your passion and your goals.

A song for my hometown of Toledo, OR. Not every hometown gets a song but this one is mine. My love to everybody still living their life there.

This song is dedicated to Bobby and June. <3 Some folks from Toledo miss both of you quite a bit.

Lyrics:

Oh, I try not to worry all the time..
But it feels like I am worried every night.
Yeah, life is always changin’ like the sky,
I broke away from many ways of life.
Got pain for all the things that I once loved..
I wish my heart was somethin’ I could trust.
Tell me 'bout your sky and how it’s blue?
but look me in my eyes to see the truth..
whippin’ in a civic up a gravel road..
drinkin’ by a fire like it’s all I know.
Holy Toledo.. oh, where did we go?
Been really homesick.. missing my people - 
I could laugh later... But I’ll just cry now
I left a life behind just to figure mine out
I’m livin’ in the past, thinkin’ 'bout my old town,
Swervin’ down a country road,
I took a wrong route.

You can’t have love
If you don’t give it away
Ya might get some
But you ain’t gonna stay... 
ya try to do it different -
But you’re feeling the same.
I don’t need the sun
When I walk in the rain..
Holy Toledo...
Only Toledo...
Holy Toledo...
Grown in Toledo

I think of Bobby during June..
And Ridin’ bikes out by the slew 
We use to roll down east slope
Now we’re by east 22...
I won’t wait up to see the bullshit
Pockets full of cowards 
You may not smell the roses..
we still smell the flowers..
lookin’ for ourselves
But we don’t see it still..
this ain’t your everyday -
Run of the mill...
Timbers is still open..
Arcadia’s lookin’ bare.
I never rep where I’m from
Because no body fucking cares
These doors are always closin’
But people stay unaware...
Screamin’... HOLY TOLEDO...
I’m glad I got outta there!! 
Still lookin’ for my way up out this place.
Still searchin, I been waitin’ on my day...
Still lookin’, while you all just look away...
Holy Toledo... 
I really needed a change.

You can’t have love
If you don’t give it away.
Ya might get some
But you ain’t gonna stay... 
ya try to do it different -
But you’re feeling the same.
I don’t need the sun
When I walk in the rain..
Holy Toledo...
Only Toledo...
Holy Toledo...

AUSTIN
Hello?

JAY
Yeah

AUSTIN
What you been up to bruh
Been tryna reach you for 6 weeks

JAY
Man I been working in cursive
It’s a gift & a curse, the way I carry the whole team
Like Dame, Like Lillard
Buzzer beater ticking on and off I gotta shoot it for the long 3
Built like steel pillar
So the one thing that I continue to be is out of reach

AUSTIN
That sounds exhausting, you should move cautious
Know that a lot of people envy
Hold the applauses, they gettin nauseous
They don’t wanna see you in a Bentley

JAYKUB
Right?
They don’t even know my stature
Take a deep dive in the deep end
I do all the work, what’s a manager?
I’m the equivalent to a beacon 


AUSTIN
WHOA
Man I feel what you saying
You going super Saiyan look at the mess that you made
WHOA
You an ace in the game, You 11 out of 10, they attending the wave
WHOA
So I came for the cake 
All the haters equal to a piss stain
WHOA
You just need to relax and keep in tact cause one day we gon be up out in Biscayne 

JAYKUB
& you mf right, black holes in the city, these people draining my light
Like damn
At the peak, like pike
So whatever they saying is nothing worthy to my likeness
This is a battle of two ti-tans
Blowing on loud, that’s tinni-tus
Hold up wait I’m getting off topic
What the hell was I saying?

AUSTIN
You was talking bout flexing

JAYKUB
No wait, I was talkin bout NEXUS

AUSTIN
Yeah, oh you talking Snow on tha Bluff?

JAYKUB
Nah

AUSTIN
What about the way they Lift You Up

JAYKUB
No

AUSTIN
I don’t fucking know, here’s a couple questions

JAYKUB
What

AUSTIN
Why you always seem so passive?
Why you still trippin bout last year?
Boi you got the game in a casket 

HOOK X2
I’m still dead inside I been talking to myself 
But I gotta slide so I can provide my wealth 
Wanted suicide on the doors but oh well
This is do or die, so I guess I’m off to hell 

AUSTIN
Hello? Did I cut out? 

JAY
Nah

AUSTIN
Tell me how it feels

JAY
What?

AUSTIN

JAY

AUSTIN
My b, you so tense
Might be, why you in yo head

JAY
Man whatever next question

AUSTIN
I’m calling cause I know that you stressing
Stretching, tryna be like Mr Fantastic
So the only thing I gotta know, is
How are you slept on, you bring the whole package
You made it to the last round, even tho
Plenty people said you weren’t lyrically gifted
You took what a critic said to heart, you couldn’t help it cause you was always feeling like a misfit

JAY
Misfit? I dig it
Feel like I’m the only one turning tables, a pivot
To answer the question of why they sleeping, they dependent
I don’t even know but my chances to win is slimming
Dimming, shit get darker, feel like Carter but w/o the tune
Way back then I used to be in debt, but I just paid my dues
