The Grief Journal is a collection of some of the journal entries I made over a one year period grieving the loss of one of my best friends and my dad. I hope you find peace and hope in this mixtape. And if you're dealing with loss, you're not alone. I feel it too. 

Love,
Michael Sanay

Til The Morning(Michael Sanay Remix)

I heard Grown Man Sport by Pete Rock and the Fela Kuti Water No Get Enemy sample blew me away. I immediately did this.

LYRICS


Riding through the city
Got my lady on my left side looking pretty
Yeah you know it’s big moves 
Yeah you know she’s with it
Yeah you know we winning
Yeah I know you dig it
You know that Fela Kuti sample
Yeah I’m with it
Can I give you fifty?
Half to a pound
Play it loud
Through the town
Paying homage to a legend 
And the 70 that rocked the stage and held it down
Live from the Shrine where it all goes down
Afro on the mic
We can all get down
Hits different when it’s legend
My legacy apparent
I birth these children like a parent
They wanna see me break bread
Gift them with my presence
Hit that new current 
Follow it through the wire
I aspire to inspire these adolescent minds
Got me preaching to the choir
Steady looking fire
In this vintage suit that I got from the thrift shop
Downtown, Buyers
Heard they wanna buy us
Heard they wanna sign us
Now they’re getting nosey like they clogged up their sinus
In one breath I take you all at once
You’re like low tidal volume 
Then I hit you in the chest break your lungs
Emphysema 
Whatever
You can never catch me being snooze in a sleeper
Looking like takeout for dinner
Try to lose weight but eat right I never
It’s wheels up
I rock with Jesus
They try to rinse us
We concentrate thus
They cannot face us
They cannot trace us
They can’t locate us
Cans and clay dust
You’re steering off course
I’m Vans off the wall
You’re Humpty Dum’ fall
Clay with these gloves
Don’t play with me cuz
I’ll hook your left jaw

I know say water no get enemy
I know say water no get enemy
Wetin Musa no go see
Him dey stand for gate
But we don’t wanna talk about it

I know say water no get enemy
I know say water no get enemy
Wetin Musa no go see
Him dey stand for gate
But we don’t wanna talk about it

Ehs, Ehs
Listen up, listen up
Break the night, Stay alive till the sun comes up
Nigerian fly
Brighter than a lightning bulb
I passed the cut
You coming in a plastic cup?
Go ask what’s up
Flowing like a nasty cut
I’m Gushing with a pulse, with that arterial touch
I grab the mic, and then I hit the speakers with force
It’s like Jedi moves, a Darth Vader suit
A stormtrooper hooping a Spalding or a Wilson
We don’t discriminate, we balling like we mean it
And we facilitate this love we are pursuing
The kitchen stays hot so you know I’m cooking
And Pete Rock did it so I had to see it
Big love to the legend daddy Kuti
Big love to the legend daddy Kuti
You walked so we can fly high
