Waves (Prod. Nima Skeemz)

There's something swimming in the water undertow
Following me out to a private archipelago
I tried to let it get a hold and pull me under
See if I could hold my breath
Down to the bottom of the ocean
Where the waves and the whales rest

But I know where the skies meet the water like my Mother or my Father
I was raised by the sea
And every day the tide pulls away only to return again 
Like a breath traveling in and out of me

I need to breathe.

I hear the waves crashing overhead
I see the sky through an aqua lens
I feel the current take me where it pleases
This journey gives me something to believe in

But I know where the skies meet the water like my Mother or my Father
I was raised by the sea
And every day the tide pulls away only to return again 
Like a breath traveling in and out of me

I need to breathe. 

I remember days sitting in the sand
Letting the sun burn our skin
I remember days swimming through the waves
Drifting away

I know where the skies meet the water like my Mother or my Father 
I was raised by the sea
And every day the tide pulls away only to return again 
Like a breath traveling in and out of me

I need to breathe.

Piano Days - Lo-fi beat

Remixed I Get the Bag by Gucci/Migos. Beat came together using a sample from #Splice and some interpolation. Then I hopped onto YouTube, came across this acapella, and everything fell into place.

Gucci Mane feat. Migos - I Get The Bag (Ill Pill Remix)

An emcee is more than an entertainer, more than an orator, more than a poet. Training in philosophy has allowed me to dissolve borders between ideas and let my mind wander freely. I rap because, like my mind, verbal expression has no boundaries. My songs and their lyrics are the most accurate expression of my mental states and processes. I write with no clear goal or direction, for to do so is to narrow my scope. I can only open my mind and show you what’s inside. That is how I let you know that I’m real.
