found myself listening to this song on repeat

When you're All Alone.mp3

SILVER SMOKE

[Chorus]
It’s that time of the year again
Cold nights, no one here again
Hope you still call when it’s hard to pretend
When your demons come and you need a friend
I’ve been up late, still chasing ghosts
Talking to myself, yeah I do the most
If you need me, baby, you can hit my phone
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

[Verse 1]
I’ve been stuck inside my head, it’s a dead zone
All this pain I carry like a headstone
People switchin’ on me like a ringtone
So I light another blunt just to get gone
Yeah, they see me now, wanna surf my wave
Did it all myself, no one came to save
I’ve been working all night, no sleep for days
Tryna write my pain down, find better ways

They say I got bars, but I’m locked in a cage
Tryna free my soul from the shit I made
Don’t need fake love, I need peace instead
When I’m high, I forget what the voices said
Yeah, I’m numb but I feel too much
Life’s a dream, I just can’t wake up
In my zone, I don’t need no show
Just me, my mic, and some weed to blow

[Chorus]
It’s that time of the year again
Cold nights, no one here again
Hope you still call when it’s hard to pretend
When your demons come and you need a friend
I’ve been up late, still chasing ghosts
Talking to myself, yeah I do the most
If you need me, baby, you can hit my phone
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

[Verse 2]
Can’t escape from the pain I’m facing
Everyone fake, I can’t name replacements
My heart been vacant, that’s understatement
Life look good on paper, but I hate it

Yeah, I’ve been faded, don’t know where I’m going
If I said I’m fine, I was never showing
I don’t trust nobody, they just shape shift
When I’m in the coupe, they don’t say shit

Yeah, I’m drifting, I lost my way
Too many nights, I ain’t slept in days
Pour another cup just to feel okay
Tell my bro, “one day, we gon’ get paid”

I’d rather fight in the ring than lie in a box
‘Cause the world don’t love you ‘til your heart just stops
So I chase that dream, even when I’m lost
Even when it hurts, I’ma pay that cost

[Chorus / Outro]
It’s that time of the year again
Cold nights, no one here again
Hope you still call when it’s hard to pretend
When your demons come and you need a friend
I’ve been up late, still chasing ghosts
Talking to myself, yeah I do the most
If you need me, baby, you can hit my phone
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

Run Bitch Run

I’m giving you the keys to my entire blueprint.

This is the sound of a man who finally put the past down and decided to own his narrative. I took the grit and steel of the city that raised me, mixed it with that deep, resonant Neo-Soul, and put it over a modern, undeniable rhythm. It’s hard, but it's vulnerable.

Darkness (remix)

God Is Life” is a spoken-word spiritual piece built around the simple, eternal truth that all existence flows from one Source. With a calm, resonant voice carried by ambient dub textures, the track reminds the listener that Life itself is divine — and that nothing living can be separate from the Life that created it. The music breathes with slow pulses, soft echoes, and warm space, creating a meditative clarity that leads the listener inward. It’s both grounding and expansive, a moment of stillness that reveals a deeper reality:
If God is Life, and all things live by that Life, then everything is already held within the eternal.

Dreams vs Reality

The Ancestor's Vow

“Dark Room” is a cold, late-night R&B trap vibe where quiet tension meets emotional honesty. C4MB0 reflects on crossed boundaries, emotional distance, and the moment someone’s actions speak louder than their words.
