LYRICS:

I told my dad that I see 25 years ahead of time
He said son you're fucking crazy, you're not even 25
Thats why my mind spins, I'm plotting out a better life
Trying to show some love, not concerned where you spend the night
Cus music doesn't judge, or hold a grudge, or give advice
I feel the open arms and the morning stars in the pouring light so
This bed was made for two so I better use it right
My head was made to contemplate rather be dead than not stop and think
Some people fake, they never change, so let em go, they don't mean a thing
They prey on hope, live in hate, opposite what they say
But some people great, so hold em close
They make your dreams fly, give em wings
Appreciate all the little things, fit to be kings
So I'm trying to raise my mind, higher than all of the basic heights
Seems like I've been just wasting mine trying to race the time
Take a break, flip the page
Through the pane comes blazing skies
In a language of poems and sound
Thoughts inside, trying to get them out
Whats this song about
I'm a dreamer, so you know what, I'll die in the clouds

You coming home on the weekend?
You coming home on the weekend?
You coming home on the weekend?
They're coming home on the weekend
You coming on the weekend? 
I'll be dreaming here on my weekends
I'll be dreaming here on my weekends
I'll be dreaming here on my weekends
If you understand me then you're probably just another one
Screaming out, in the sky, dream aloud
If you understand me then you're probably just another one
In your room, deep in thought, need a crown
If you understand us then you're probably just another one
Feeling love, keep your feet on the ground
If you understand us then you realize, we live our lives in the clouds

Drop that minor key, I said mother fucking finally
I can speak on the real put my mind at peace
Been a damn cold winter bout time for spring
Its about damn time for that heat I bring
Flipping samples from my record pantry
Seven keys on my phantom beats 
16 pad play Maschine, or spin a DJ set
Spit a rap cus I'm mad in the lab I mean
I'm in between my basement and making it 
Can't wait to shape what my destination is
Gotta chill it out, go easy on my flow for now
Wanna make some cash, off my music passion
Then give it back, but I don't know how
Time to figure it out
Go smooth on the people, easy when you dream for a living
My life's meaning is hidden, so I went made it different
Rather be among the grinders than sit with the gifted
Cus we just work and work and work its part of the ambition
Some people say it's fate, I say we rearranged the mission
God wouldn't listen so we came and fucking made the vision
Why pray and wait cus the complacent get excuses given
Why be afraid to be the change and rise above submission
The end result is all the culture shifted
So you know what it, I'm a dreamer, I'm a lover, I'll probably never figure it out
But I'll die before I ever quit
Living in the now, put my life in this sound
I'll never come down cuz we live in the clouds, I'm out

You coming home on the weekend?
You coming home on the weekend?
You coming home on the weekend?
They're coming home on the weekend
You coming on the weekend? 
I'll be dreaming here on my weekends
I'll be dreaming here on my weekends
I'll be dreaming here on my weekends
If you understand me then you're probably just another one
Screaming out, in the sky, dream aloud
If you understand me then you're probably just another one
In your room, deep in thought, need a crown
If you understand us then you're probably just another one
Feeling love, keep your feet on the ground
If you understand us then you realize, we live our lives in the clouds

Lyrics: 

See there's two ways to look at life
You either up and help another or you down in spite
I've been filling up my cup with others living light
So we toasting to the stars from a different night
I tell my brothers from another mother what up
Everyone of 'em above all the ego and the come up yeah
All my sisters on a mission getting busy get commission
Intuition and they gifted getting digits yeah
See my world I try to split it
Second half of verses gotta circle what the first didn't 
That means the words maybe hurt with a curse in it
That means the real world coming with a hearse in it
But I'm not trying to spread the hate out
You try to take away but my energy awake now
You feeling like a snow came on the 8th of March
You feeling like some cold rain on an August heart

Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patterns, pity patterns
Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
The trace flowing rivers of you pity patterns, pity patterns

In September better weather I remember
In October you were drunk but acting sober when I wrote you yeah
In November you were colder getting over  
That December when I mentioned you're a tempest and provoker yeah  
January I was there but you said I didn't care
So I left for February and the frozen air
Then in March I made a march to the parts
Apart in April when I finally saw the sun and drove its boulevard 
Open May in all the places of the world where June could be my girl 
And we'd twirl until we're famous yeah 
When July had found me blind to your pity and your lies
I took August and we danced somewhere in the summertime but 
I bought you a hat for your party
Its a shame I couldn't make it but you never said sorry so
Now I feeling like some money on the 5th of June
Always sunny its the love I didn't get with you

Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patterns, pity patterns
Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patters, pity patterns
Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patterns, pity patterns
Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patterns, pity patterns
Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patterns, pity patterns
Now the tears go pitter patter, pitter patter
They trace flowing rivers of your pity patterns, pity patterns

Pity Patterns

Good times. Good friends. Good life.

It's Time

This day has been two years in the making. After opening for Lil Wayne in summer 2015, I re-evaluated where I was in my career and how to move forward. Just being on big stages wasn't enough; my music needed to compete with and surpass that of my favorite artists. So I went into the studio and decided to not return unless I was confident the music was on that level.

"Inauguration" is the culmination of a two year journey to redefine my sound and the start of the next chapter. There have been incredible highs and crushing lows. Performances for 5 people and 50,000 people. Success, failure, love, and tears. This album encompasses them all.

Everything you hear is completely made by me - produced, written, recorded, mixed. Every sound was made from scratch. Every note was played by my fingers, every word came from my mouth. My voice is used as an instrument like never before - if a sound doesn't seem like an instrument, it's probably my voice flipped, manipulated and flipped. But the thing that I'm most proud of is that this album sounds like me. And it captures a moment in time.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the many, many people who helped me along the way. So even though the music is by me, this album is really inspired by all my friends, family, and every person I've met. You've left an imprint on my life that is reflected in this work. 

I hope you enjoy the album. It's been a hell of a ride. Now the real fun begins! Go put this on repeat.
