Excuse Me

dETROIT hOUSING cONDITIONS

a cry for help 
right before the yell in righteous anger

FLINT STILL DOESNT HAVE CLEAN WATER

dETROIT hOUSING cONDITIONS

i heard this beat and it immediately made me super introspective. this was a mac miller type beat and i think i tried to carry that energy when i started writing the chorus, which is the first part i wrote. i realized about halfway through it that i was basically the first sentences id say to whatever therapist was fortunate enough to get me on a couch. ive made a concerted effort not to make depressing music without at least mentioning that all of life is mercurial. nothing is set in stone and so the knowledge and hope that i can do better and be better is the only tool i need to affect change in the world around me. that duality comes out a lot in my music and ive gotten pretty good at spelling my own brand of psychosis while simultaneously parenting myself. its all very tiring but i like what it produces.

when it came to the first verse i wanted to be as real as i could in the first lines. i wanted something i could feel for a while. i came up with i wanna smoke more weed and get more money. a bit shallow for the subject looking back at it now but it is what it is. 

the second verse tho way simpler to write took me almost 6 months of practice to sing correctly. the first month or so was just choosing how it would sound and rest of the time was just practicing singing til i could actually hit all the notes at volume
(im what youd call a whisper singer) and it still took a couple takes to get it right. 

sprinkle in some magic from my boy LMO on mix/master and the product is a song ill likely be listening to til i get that rocket ship to space

Outer Space Libations

Golden Rule

this is a song i created the last time allowed myself to care for another human being more than myself. it ended in tears and confusion. it was beautiful and what i created out of that pain was just as beautiful. i didnt want to drop this song because the love it was based on didnt exist anymore. i think ive finally moved far enough past it that i can let go of the connection and show people art for the sake of the art. 

its a song thats been one of my favorites for the verses but there was always a small reason i didnt want to drop it. it was corny, the words didnt sound right, the break up itself. i think im finished dwelling on the negatives. 

im ready to drop my pain, i dont want it anymore.

Play It Smooth

Flint still doesn't have clean water

Prayers

meant to be an uplifting dreamscape of words. this song is a letter to myself sent from the last grips of my sleeping mind.

my thoughts as i wake up are turning more positive lately. i wanted to reflect that in the mood of the song by keeping it smooth and calm but still mildly chaotic.

theres so much going on at any one time. sometimes scruntinizing everything is how you get trapped in the cycle of abuse. learn to take a step back to see the bigger picture. 

Above It All

The key to the [REDACTED] is under [REDACTED] south of [REDACTED] 

You need to find it. It's a matter of life and death.

Truth

i can admit i lost myself after the split. i know now that the trauma of separation was necessary to heal correctly. 

i stil have a scar and it will always be my favorite because it taught me the most.

Cry For Hell(p)

you know that feeling when you're just starting to peak and then some shit happens and suddenly you're around people? yeah that's what this song is like.


Zombies all around 
I see bodies 
On the ground that
Puffed the smoke
With heightened potency
They died 
To get an ounce
Floated to the heavens 
tryna breathe
Look like
They shoulda drowned
think i saw him
Blowing out a ghost
But i dont think
It counts
Everyone i know 
Is dead inside
the city cemetary 
Full of potential
And petty crime
Do the reaper proud
Protect ya neck
Ressurect yourself
Just to spite of
the vampires
Cheating death
Is easy
All you gotta do
Is be divine
And get used
To Seeing signs
Know the truth
Between the lies
Know the rules and
Know the secrets 
people hide
Cause even jesus Sees 
its dangerous
Attacking demons
Trying to keep in line
With your reflection
With your spirit mirrored
At the speed of light


I aint dead 
I aint alive 
Nothing left in me
To rot
I been set to meet 
The piper 
Since i went 
To steal his job
Ill admit in this position
Most have tendency
To hide but
Imma try to 
heal your mental
Since i been
mistreating mine
I aint dead 
I aint alive 
Nothing left in me
To rot
I been set to meet 
The piper 
Since i went 
To steal his job
Ill admit
In this position
Most have tendency
To hide but
Imma try to 
heal your mental
Since im still
mistreating mine


Everyone i know
Is Dead inside 
And tryna live 
Life Lowkey
Band of brothers 
Buried in the sand
Our brand of karaoke
They so scared
Of us 
When we approach
They swear theyre
Aware than most
I guess i sorta care
But im aware 
theyre just 
The pair of normals
But what a paramour
If theyre prepared
To share a soul
Id shed 
my mortal coil
Let the auras 
Mine and their
absorb our lights
Except i sold 
The rights 
To both my Afterlives
ill Just keep progressing
dont need heaven
If i dont have to die
Travel back and forth
Across the river styx 
Im cap i tan
I crossed the timeline
Through a portal
Searching for an ambiance
And I could swear 
I saw the source 
It showed me
How to talk to jah
I could swear 
That im immortal
When allah is on my side


It all just came down to me
All i wanted was peace 
When i was losing my sleep
I wanted all of my dreams
It all just came down to me
It all just came down to me
It all just came down to me 
It all just came down to me
All i wanted was peace




I aint dead 
I aint alive 
Nothing left in me
To rot
I been set to meet 
The piper 
Since i went 
To steal his job
Ill admit in this position
Most have tendency
To hide but
Imma try to 
heal your mental
Since i been
mistreating mine
I aint dead 
I aint alive 
Nothing left in me
To rot
I been set to meet 
The piper 
Since i went 
To steal his job
Ill admit
In this position
Most have tendency
To hide but
Imma try to 
heal your mental
Since im still
mistreating mine

Karaoke

Stay The Night

Don't lose yourself
In every labyrinth
You face
Cant show me
A strategy
I havent checked
To mate
My biggest mistake
forging a path
I led with impatience
couldnt afford
To waste time
Not practicing
After every game
Now I end up
Moving forward faster
As im getting older
Getting closer
To immortal class
or death is 
Really sporting
Had to get away
From those distractions 
Destination same 
As everybody
Chasing 4d rabbits
Late I'm Late I'm Late
Im keeping pace
With stragglers
Been Practicing 
Leading a pack
Reaping blessings
From a seed investment
Feeding my
Peace with passion
I speak it 
Into existence
It seems more
Like seeing magic
Seems im warping Towards
A teeming void
Seems im Unique
in status
Its been lonely 
Going on this road
But i see someone 
Will come after me
Got an order
Through a 
Court appointed
Lawyer just 
To ask 
For more endorphins
But they said that
Joyousness
Is not an asset 
they exploit
Just Those avoiding taxes
And Selling drugs 
To Black people 
I had to 
Hold my tongue
Cause Even after 
Drinking acid
Silver holds its value
And The corrosion
Wont amount to much
And i been
Leaving pounds
Of it out 
Everytime i spit
I think the price
Of my saliva 
Outweighs my discography
Could prolly sell
Some vials of it
If i was business minded
Luckily i didnt mind
Not Commidifying
My liquids 
guys I sense the climate 
Bout to shift
Something bout
This mild winter
Got me thinking
Bout the spring and fall
Right back 
around to christmas
Thank the lord 
i found a gift To give 
that Keeps its value
Youll appreciate it More 
since No one else
Can see the algorithm
Bet you wont 
See me again
In the same state 
you found me in
Couldnt catch me
With $100000 bounty 
Im invisible
Its quite uncommon Obviously
i dont like
To speak about it
Thought if i was too loud
I could whisper
But i cant 
Keep it down
I need the sound
To reverberate
In my brain 
Feel the nerves 
A shakin
One Breakdown away
From a
Cot and tray 
Subsidized
By the state
If i can free myself
I can teach myself 
How to free My friends
I just be myself
Then they can see
Just how easy it is
Had to beat the best 
To be the best
On the industry tip
Had to exceed 
My best 
To beat myself
i cant see 
competition
I can see myself
In a couple Emcees 
I have seen
On the stage
But itd take a couple
Emcees to see me
And thats on 
Lawrence grave
Couple pennies 
Worth of hustle
Works for any 
Level budget
Expecting any sort
Plan for free
Aint worth it to discuss
I cant make you
Want to run
It aint called
Chasing dreams 
for nothing
villain arches
Since mcdonalds
Had the shake machine
That one time
Might as well
Enjoy the moment 
Cause youll only 
see this once
Whats understood
Dont need explaining
All my guys speak in tongues


Tongues

the vampire is finally seduced by the witch. 
Whats the worst that could happen?

Eyes are frosty
And youre vibe is too
Lets talk in
A private room
Im trying not to
Do something naughty
too drunk and high 
To lie to you 
Youre Too fine to be
At this party 
You look like 
You ran milan
Paris london
Then dubai
Dangerous 
and nonchalant
Im not normally 
this forward But 
first impressions
Seem important
Seems like 
you would
Show me 
the door If 
i said 
I only adore you
But i dont play
Dont need to score
So Where this goes
Gon be your choice 
Relations friendship
Lust or love 
Take it leave it
Either or
I just love 
the back and forth
That comes with
You and me 
Plus When 
two hearts cross
Like cupid shot us
What more do you need
Its like something 
From a movie 
Our passion
On a screen
Starring 
me And you 
Just need my cue
Then ill take on the lead


Lets get away
We need the space 
Well take a day 
Or make it 3
Lets get away
Until were grey
Dead in the grave 
Just you and me
x3


Im not normally 
this forward
But you and me
What we need more of 
I like you
still i gotta 
Keep things formal
I like that you
Make me want to
Leave decorum but
i wont cave
Ill keep composed 
Cant blow my chance
Cant be exposed 
Cant show my hand
Ill keep em close
Cant know my plans 
Cant geek the code
Girl Youre poetry
Got your own rhythm
We still so in sync
But still so distinct
All eyes were on you 
And you noticed me 
Since then seems
Those cold eyes 
wont release me 
If youre my heart
Then i know 
Where home is
And im not a fool
Thatll roam the streets
So just hold my hand
While i stroll the beat 
And ill seal my lips 
Like i stole a secret 

Youre living 
Rent free
All through my mental 
a permanant lease
Sure is tempting
Coincidentally
A vacancy left
The space 
Ready for applications
Next week
Got a renovation
working on
My first mistakes
Had to make it up
Out the basement
Aint got. 
A perfect place yet
Had to have the
Whole place inspected
Im just making sure
It was
Worth the wait


Lets get away
We need the space 
Well take a day 
Or make it 3
Lets get away
Until were grey
Dead in the grave 
Just you and me
x3

aWAy

Lights stay low
I cant see your features but
Eyes stare through me
You see my demons
Move like you were made
To move for me
Move close enough
Theres no room 
For reason
I just love 
Trying to please her
She just loves 
Tryna soothe the beast
Forget myself 
Everytime i see her
Forget to breathe
o2 depleted
Flow like floating
On the eather
Im not sure 
Shes a human being
She a portrait
Mona lisa
She so cold
Like 2 degrees
Bleed me dry 
If you want to
I dont know 
What youre
Doing to me
I see the signs
Of trouble
Its like 
I dont know 
Who to believe


Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead


Your name tastes
Vaguely chocolate
makes me 
Want to say it often 
Sweet as wine 
And cream in coffee
Spice and nice things
Made you up
Your Voice like choirs
Say the gospel
Quote the bible
Say it softly
Just say the word
You start the race
Thats a line
I cant be blamed
For crossing
You test my patience
Plain seduction
Playing games
What makes it hot 
Ill chase you 
Round the board
Just for the chance
To check to mate
For once
Read me Like 
i came 
With instructions
Cheat me 
Ill make up 
The numbers
Feed me lies
Ill even diet 
Eat me alive
Ill shut the oven


Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead


I just been dying
To meet her
Shes the one 
That consumes my dreams
Forget my name
If she didnt say it
Forgot what
I came out to see
The spells she whispers
Like an earworm
hear them slither
When i sleep
Id let her wear me
Like a suit 
And watch her 
Rip me at the seams
Im just the shell
Nothing is left
To take 
And now 
Youre free 
To hate me 
Break me down
And shape me
To a boxer
worth retaliating to
A couple rounds
Will make her
throw in More than
Just the towel 
No use 
Tryna regret it now
Already knew That 
i was down for this
I doubt the risk 
Outweighs
The gain
Not that youre
In our business
But the game 
Recognize game
She got me 
Looking kinda different


Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
Dance with the dead
Til were one of them
You and all our friends
Play our song again
