This project has been a long time in the making. I think of myself as a late bloomer in many areas of my life and these songs were written throughout my early-late twenties. The Late Bloomer Show is a closing chapter for the younger me. My mentally, focus, and overall perspective on life were different than currently today.  The music reflects that and I hope you enjoy the project. Music after all, is timeless.

Flying Lotus - 1983 (Feat. Joseph Alim)

Beat prod. by @BasementBeatz412 

Song lyrics by Joseph Alim

All the way from the basement
You will never find another replacement
(Noooo)
I have a dream, Ima chase it
I'm so close I can taste it
Only got one life, and I'm not gonna waste it
I gave away all my love in a bracelet
Fly elan I embraced it
All the kids in the party wanna copy paste it

Fly elan fly elan
Don't worry
I'm skating down the block with my team no hurry
Just hanging in the streets
Cooling with a mc flurry
Lost in translation like my name's Bill Murray
I've been working on this album for the past 2 years
Money, money, money getting over my fears
Always kept it coming keep it running like gears
Setting fireworks off like it's time for new years

All the way from the basement
You will never find another replacement
(Noooo)
I have a dream, Ima chase it
I'm so close I can taste it
Only got one life, and I'm not gonna waste it
I gave away all my love in a bracelet
Fly elan I embraced it
All the kids in the party wanna copy paste it

Young Casino
has grown up we know
The flow like primo
My brain's on chemo
The kids wanna rap when they hear my estilo
American Arab Spanish Latino
I can't stop
Even when I've tried to
Late night snack bumping music in the drive thru
Be yourself cause not everybody is gonna like you
And that's totally fine, cause she likes you (word?)

All the way from the basement
You will never find another replacement
(Noooo)
I have a dream, Ima chase it
I'm so close I can taste it
Only got one life, and I'm not gonna waste it
I gave away all my love in a bracelet
Fly elan I embraced it
All the kids in the party wanna copy paste it

All my haters wassup
I'm sending love to you too
Bring the noise good luck
Party in the big city I don't need a red cup
Speakers shook the place heavy when I struck
Feeling like I'm 21 with my babyface stuck
I'm going berserk
Lost my hoodie in the crowd
And some girl stole my shirt
That's $28 bucks that I lost to a flirt
But you can't put a price on a fly elan concert

All the way from the basement
You will never find another replacement
(Noooo)
I have a dream, Ima chase it
I'm so close I can taste it
Only got one life, and I'm not gonna waste it
I gave away all my love in a bracelet
Fly elan I embraced it
All the kids in the party wanna copy paste it

Lyrics:

1st verse

Cool like a mist
Chill like a flight
Chill with me and my friends for the night
I'm a good guy
Was a bad boy
Good conversation with you brings joy
Pretty girls are the life
Pretty girl be my wife
And you can mooch off my fries
All your friends look like totally spies
And I feel I'm totally hypnotized
Not to sound like I'm simping 
If you see me chase then I'm tripping 
I'm just complementing your eyes 
And if you laugh with me then we're dipping 
Dippity dipping like dots
She's calling my phone
I'm calling the shots 
Fresh as a pine in my holiday socks
Moscow mule on the rocks 

Chorus

Show me now
Show me now
Go Go Go Go 

Go far
Go far 

2nd verse

Lately man I've go no time
It's like Amazon but got no prime
Normally I'm more lo fi
But this beat is just so fye 
Burning up
Burning up
Talk to me when I'm online 
In person I'm in airplane mode
Living life and I'm so fly
Sushi rolling my flow raw
Level up like I'm Gohan 
Text me when you get home ma
Next time Barcelona 
Go far
(Go far)
Grinding till I have a sports car
Go far
(Go far)
Tonight I feel like an all star

Chorus

Show me now
Show me now
Go Go Go Go 

Go far
Go far

Lyrics:

1st verse

Someone always has it better than you
And someone always has it way worse than you too
Lately I've been feeling so blue
Without a clue
On how to cope with it
This depression is true
Nothing is exciting anymore
I go out to distract myself but it ends up feeling like a chore 
I feel it in my inner core
I pray about it for real 
but I don't know what else to hope for 
Reflecting on when I was broke poor 
To help me move pass this
Skipping all my classes
Used to get high and turn worries into ashes
But all these things are temporary fixes
Like glasses
I want that lifetime guaranteed 
And I know I can't get that from weed
Or an Instagram feed
Corporate rat race and greed 
I wish I could disguise my pain
But I'm an easy book to read 

Chorus

And this is my 
This is my face
The state of emotion that I wish was a phase
And this is my
This is my case
The state of depression that I hope to erase 

2nd verse

Take shots to blend in and seem normal
Shake hands with fake fools to seem formal
If I ever feel better
Melancholy like the weather 
I drive around, clear my head
And I'm reminded of the high gas prices
The hard times ahead 
Everything is going up constantly 
Except for my paycheck and rap sponsoring 
Might say it fuck it and lash out
401k let me cash out 
Move my ass out 
Start a new life in a new city
Maybe a new country
Where they have no pity
Gotta learn the language 
Hustle and be witty 
I just want a sign
Cause purpose is the only thing in mind 
And the only thing I'm losing now is time
And I'm terrified of standing in this line

Chorus

And this is my 
This is my face
The state of emotion that I wish was a phase
And this is my
This is my case
The state of depression that I hope to erase

Melancholy

Lyrics:

1st verse

Old school fellow in the car with my homie
Coming down the street and you know the people know me
Tryna go and throw me
Tryna go and show me
But homie you don't know me
I think you're more like a phony 
I got t shirts feeling all fresh like your babe
Hair getting longer I just let the thing hang 
Fly elan you see it, everywhere you go 
Got the logo on my shirt and the radio
Stereo 
Merry go
Howdy ho 
Daddy o
Wow
Slow it down, smooth on the GoPro 
See me freestyling and I'm tryna kill the flow
Keep it so chill cause homies wanna know
If I make it snow
The city's tryna grow
I'm just tryna bloom like a flower in the low
Need some sunlight and some positivity 
Cause almost everything I see negativity (so)

Chorus

Drip like honey making money on the side
Old school vibe make a homie wanna jive 
Chilling with the homies and you know we got to drive
Old school flow with a new school vibe

2nd verse

DragonBall z that's my favorite cartoon
If I eat cereal, I need a big spoon
Fruity pebbles still
Cocoa pebbles ill 
You know how it is baby I just go and chill
Maybe flirt
I have a lot of stress from my work
So I'm just tryna sell all my shirts
And make a little money on the side
Pray to God that hopefully I can get the right wings so I can fly
Till then, I get my money on the side
Till when? Idk I'm gonna ride 
I'm on the slide
I'm on the vibe 
If it comes down to it in the end I'm gonna glide
I'm just tryna trade a honey for a bride
I'm just tryna get my mind alright
I need God in my life that's real
Without him, I wouldn't have a deal

Chorus 

Drip like honey making money on the side
Old school vibe make a homie wanna jive 
Chilling with the homies and you know we got to drive
Old school flow with a new school vibe

Honey

Joseph Alim - Turbulence

This one’s for the nights I felt like I was yelling into silence. For the days I kept going when nobody was watching... except God.
I put everything into this—pain, growth, truth, and a little bit of flex. Even rapping in Spanish.

Hip hop roots. Pop polish. Real life in every verse.

Tap in. Share it. Or don’t.
I’m used to moving like nobody cares.
But I do. And that’s why this exists.
