Here's the lyrics to 'Before I Go', in their original form. 
The performance video is posted on mine and GRiZ' facebook pages.

I been feeling like my yesterday is gone
My braincells are functioning like Cheech & Chong
I been living present, future with no past
I think it's time to kick these drugs and do it fast...

But the music is the drug that brings content
It's a high I didn't buy, it was heaven sent 
I used to cry my blues for my fellow man
No I sing the blues but it's only cuz I can 

So that's why I'm gonna leave y'all, today
Sick and tired of being a lighting rod
A conductor for your pain
I don't sleep, no
I self medicate
But I'll sing one more song
Before I go Away

I been trying to make my mind up but I can't
Cuz when I'm high baby I can lie like a president 
And when I'm, I tell myself the pain ain't real
But without pain, the song I sing ain't got no feel

So I'm living present future, with no past 
And I ain't sure just how much longer I'm gonna last
But as long as I ain't dead I'll sing my song
And I'll sing it for you people til I'm gone 

And that's why I'm gonna leave y'all, today
Sick of being a lightning rod, a conductor for your pain
I don't sleep, no
I self medicate
But I'll sing one more song
Before I go away 

'Before I Go' (audio from live performance)

Leo Napier has become a "prominent voice in the electronic funk/soul arena" (Stereofox) since emerging from the New York EDM circuit in 2015.   Leo came on to the scene by contributing several songs to projects by pioneering DJ/producers GRiZ and Gramatik. He captured the attention of Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon, who features alongside Napier on Gramatik’s most successful single to date, “Native Son.” The stellar collaboration was followed by “Native Son (Prequel),” also written and performed by Leo. It went on to become the lead track off Gramatik’s full-length album, Epigram, released in 2016.

It’s been a busy year for Napier, who once again teamed up with GRiZ on the track “Before I Go.” Their previous collaboration “A Fine Way To Die” has garnered millions of streams to date. 

Leo is a musical chameleon. His voice and lyrical tendencies lend themselves to a variety of genres from folk, to hip-hop and Neo-soul.  His versatility and magnetic stage presence captivate audiences wherever he plays.

His upcoming record is in-keeping with recent collaborations within the EDM genre, a mix of classic funk/soul with hard hitting electronic rhythms. The songs are gritty urban tales with a cast of colourful characters peppered with Leo's signature brand of dark humour.
