True, my latest and best offering for a body of work. Shoutout to everyone tuned in

Kamikaze (Prod. By C - Sick)

This is the first track from the upcoming album, GROWTH SEASON: RAW

Keep in mind that this is the RAW version of Equinox, and it is, by nature, RAW. This was recorded, mixed, and mastered by myself, in a basement on subpar equipment.

As Paul Jones would say... "The dirt keeps the funk."

Enjoy the song, "Equinox" from Growth Season: RAW

This is my first attempt at making music. Drum n Bass is one of my favorite styles of music so it only felt right to try my hand at it 😝

Feel free to give me any and all feedback because that's the only way I'm gonna get better.

LYRICS

VERSE ONE – The Top Civilian
Give me a kiss goodnight; I miss the light
That used to radiate inside before the struggles and strife.
Fists to the sky if you feel like you’re feeling too much.
My grip’s been slipping since existence and I came to erupt.
It’s so hard to touch the world - the world’s so out of touch.
Masses addicted to every facet, and still can't get enough.
No one opens up. Broken trust leads to fear of society
That raised us up, then lied to us. Flooding social anxiety.
Kindly fuck the cynics: I need mental emancipation.
Cyanide for the critics, do or die in the chains you’re made in.
Slay the dragon chasing, deciphering pure from pollution.
Don't be a sheep lead to slaughter counting dreams of revolution.

HOOK - The Top Civilian
You keep telling me to breathe like… it’s gonna be alright.
And you keep telling me to believe… that these things take time.

VERSE TWO – The Top Civilian 
While I’m facing the facts that I need this mic release.
‘Cause I’d implode or explode in my attempts to get free.
See on the stage with the mic is the only place I know
To make peace with my soul before I give up the ghost.
My rhymes require you to read at the college level grade.
With hints of genius and seamstress patches of being insane.
The only escape is bleeding down drains in burgundy rains.
So watch me seep my shattered mind state through the mic grate. 
I'm great, minus financial and emotional problems.
Plus time wasted on trivial anecdotes about how to solve ‘em.
Book full of poems you can revolve them through that false sense
Of security as purity of poison pushes your tolerance and…

HOOK - The Top Civilian
You keep telling me to breathe like… it’s gonna be alright.
And you keep telling me to believe… that these things take time.

VERSE THREE - The Top Civilian
But lying sounds better than taking the medicine.
Despise the sun setters sucking on sounds like sedatives.
Gimme vegan venison, the need to flip the rhetoric.
Plant me purpose and I'll pulsate with painful penmanship.
‘Cause I’ve been up with this music and down with this movement
Since you bitch asses still believed in Santa and Cupid.
I get stupid to stupify and dream of dying in lucid,
Think I’m a figment of your imagination? Wake up and prove it!
Start the movement this moment, let’s all focus our thoughts.
Plant the seeds and teach the children that there’s light in the dark.
Deep scars inspire stars to lend a spark to this terrestrial
Landscape that manmade while I seek the celestial.

HOOK - The Top Civilian
You keep telling me to breathe like… it’s gonna be alright.
And you keep telling me to believe… that these things take time.
