FEEL GOOD DL

Good Day ft. The Palmer Squares & Ross Augusta (co-prod. Wes P)

[Intro – whispered, eerie lullaby cadence]
Once upon a time, they fed you lies,
Heroes in capes, halos in the skies.
But fairy tales rot, the pages bleed —
Now the villains rise, and the world concedes.

[Verse 1]
Glass slippers crack, drip red on the marble,
Princes beheaded, crowns bent, castles charred full.
Dragons ain’t slain — they snack on the choir,
Choirs sing screams when we set ‘em on fire.

Mirror, mirror — I shattered that whore,
Now it reflects what the blood’s really for.
Your “happily ever” was built on a bluff,
We’re the ink in the story — and we’ve had enough.

[Hook – sinister, catchy]
This is happy never after, where the wicked write the chapters,
Laughing while your heroes fracture,
Burn the book, rewrite the rapture.
Happy never after — no crowns, no laughter,
Just blades, disasters, and screams we capture.

[Verse 2]
Fuck a fairy godmother, bitch, she owes me a wish,
I wished for a kingdom — she turned me to this.
So I slit her throat, with a grin and a twist,
Now her wand lights my path while it drips from my fist.

The wolf ate Red, but she liked the taste,
Now she runs with the pack, blood slick on her face.
Three little pigs? Burnt house, fried bacon,
Moral of the story — evil ain’t forsaken.

[Bridge – rhythmic, almost rap-battle tone]
Heroes fall like dominoes, spine to bone,
We grind halos down to powder, snort ‘em off the throne.
Every bedtime tale that tucked you in tight?
We’re the nightmare lurking when you kill the light.

[Hook – repeat, layered adlibs]
This is happy never after, where the wicked write the chapters,
Laughing while your heroes fracture,
Burn the book, rewrite the rapture.
Happy never after — no crowns, no laughter,
Just blades, disasters, and screams we capture.

[Outro – distorted lullaby / child’s choir, creepy echo]
No white horse…
No sunrise…
No sweet song…
Only your demise.
Happy… never… after.

Happy Never After

I'm creeping into motion see me coasting 
I be dodging and ducking/ you could label me however out the box I was stuck in/ aint the type of rapper bargain bout the girls he be fuckin/ I stay positive loving, shoutout to all of my cousins.  Been a tough year for the fan, heavy heart in a daze/ Griz helped me liberate these thoughts on the page/ see me heating up, yea I been all in a blaze/ tuck and roll another bleezy lets get lost in a haze/ hey hey, ba-by, feel like its pay day, ignoring the negative wave length, they aint on shit so lets vacate/ don't worry about what they say/ that aint you/ just focus on the mission these dreams do come true/ hear that tick tock this clock don't last forever/ leave an impression on the world that lasts is better/ see that sunrise go by now the moons got its head up/ got me paranoid as fuck like this must be a set up.

Chorus:  
I never trust life when it gets this good/ wish i could be in the moment like i know i should/ im focused on the fall/ i should focus on the rise/ trying to live for today cause tomorrow is a lie.

How can I smile when, I see the pain on your face
as the time goes by, I try to find another reason why
I get this gift to live my life another day.

What did I do to deserve all this good in my life, I know I should be sitting hight but feel like something aint right.  Don't get me wrong I still appreciate these days and these nights, but seeing close homies pass got me missing that light.
So now i'm tight rope walking, balance of the good and bad, smiling at my sins life is crazy so I gotta laugh.   Go faster, I'm trying to feel something, I'm so numb to it I can't really feel nothin-nothing compare to the magic created with you, I drift on a mission just looking for somethin thats true, not even sure what I'm looking for I just gotta move. Cause sometimes you gotta leave to arrive, get stuck in one place and forget that your alive. See that sunrise go by now the moon got its head up, got me paranoid as fuck like this must be a set-up.

Chorus:  
I never trust life when it gets this good/ wish i could be in the moment like i know i should/ im focused on the fall/ i should focus on the rise/ trying to live for today cause tomorrow is a lie.

How can I smile when, I see the pain on your face
as the time goes by, I try to find another reason why
I get this gift to live my life another day.

Moments

Here’s the last song from my new album “Good Will Prevail” before it comes out on Friday!!! This tune was so much fun to put together with Brasstracks and Eric Krasno. I even got to record a church choir in a church for it! Dream come true :)

 Listen to the song and you can pre-order the album for those who want to support. Don’t worry I will make a free download available as well :)
