Ante up, makin' Kenny Rogers proud,
Kingpin strut, movin' silent through the crowd.
Roll up on the spot, got the smoke and the crew,
Don't need a cosign—we fuckin' with or without you.


Is you in or is you out?
Just close the god damn door, 
Is you in or is you out?
You're lady knows what it's for, 
Is you in or is you out?
Everybody here knows that it's true,
Stay in your lane—we fuckin' with or without you.


Bassline thump, bodies bouncin' in the haze,
Strobe lights flashin’, this party's been going on for days,
Poppin' bottles till the new dawn breaks through,
If you ain't all in, we fuckin' with or without you.


Is you in or is you out?
Just close the god damn door, 
Is you in or is you out?
You're lady knows what it's for, 
Is you in or is you out?
Everybody here knows that it's true,
Stay in your lane—we fuckin' with or without you.


Money talk loud, make the weak turn mute,
Money talks, bullshit walks, so what you gunna do?
Dice roll heavy, stack 'em up two by two,
Table full of sharks, we fuckin' wit or without you.


Is you in or is you out?
Just close the god damn door, 
Is you in or is you out?
You're lady knows what it's for, 
Is you in or is you out?
Everybody here knows that it's true,
Stay in your lane—we fuckin' with or without you.


Leather seats, black tint, takin' over the street,
Boys on the block are now rollin' in a fleet,
No love lost, you can catch me in the news, 
You ain't in the picture, we fuckin' with or without you.


Is you in or is you out?
Just close the god damn door, 
Is you in or is you out?
You're lady knows what it's for, 
Is you in or is you out?
Everybody here knows that it's true,
Stay in your lane—we fuckin' with or without you.


Is you in or is you out?
Just close the god damn door, 
Is you in or is you out?
You're lady knows what it's for, 
Is you in or is you out?
Everybody here knows that it's true,
Stay in your lane—we fuckin' with or without you.


Is U In or Is U Out?

It's complicated

It's complicated

Well, uncomplicate it.

I sense hesitation
That's Okay,
When I reach out,
You pull away,

It's not complicated
I am not afraid,
It got complicated,
The moment I saw your face,

Chasing this white rabbit,
Down the hole,
No ground beneath us,
Downwards we go,

It's not complicated
I am not afraid,
It got complicated,
The moment I saw your face,

Waiting for an answer,
Static in reply,
Just interference,
Fissures in the line,

It's not complicated
I am not afraid,
It got complicated,
The moment I saw your face,

It's not complicated,
It's either real or fake,
It got complicated,
When you didn't walk away

It's not complicated
I am not afraid,
It got complicated,
The moment I saw your face,

It's not complicated,
It's either real or fake,
It got complicated,
When you didn't walk away

It's complicated

It's complicated

Well, uncomplicate it.

Go on ya cheap bastard

It's complicated

Reasonable Doubt

Who can outrun their shadow - you would make a fortune if you could crack that code :) 
Seriously though, we need to run into the shadows and figure out what all the commotion is all about . 

My Shadow Lyrics 

Let's talk about it 
I wanna talk about it 

My body trembles 
When what I resemble
Mirrors sharp, in the dark shade 
And I must run (Run, run away)
Hmmmmm “I’m tired of running 
Tired, tired 
Tired of running

If I name the place 
Where I’ve been 
Owning the reasons 
After leaning in 
Calling out, all it is 
Moving out 
Of what I’ve done 
And what I’m done with

What am I doing?
Where am I going?
Why am I flowing?
How am I knowing?

Only to turn (Turn) 
Right around 
To end right back 
From where I come
Cause that ego claimed 
Claimed the win 
With chest puffed up
And a vanity grin

What am I doing?
Where am I going?
I stopped flowing
Lost my knowing

It’s my shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
It does follow
(Follow, follow, follow) 
My shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
It does follow
(Follow, follow, follow)

My ego stays in charge 
When the chasing begins 
To outrun my shadows 
To bury that sin 
Faster (Faster)
Yet, there it still is 
My lockstep partner 
Bonded in

What am I doing?
Where am I going?
Must restart my flowing?
Where's my knowing?

Cause my shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
It does follow
(Follow, follow, follow) 
My shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
It does follow
(Follow, follow, follow)

Hmmmmm, Mmmmmm
Now, I gotta review 
Something must change 
Here is the clue 
Shadows’ demand 
Who I be 
I can’t keep running 
From that part of me 
But can I accept all of me?
Rather confronting 
Don’t you think? 
Can I believe 
There is enough of me 
To hold me through 
The darkest I see?

What am I doing?
Where am I going?
Now I am flowing
And got back my knowing

The shadow - a measure
Of my locked up mind
I hold a golden key
Feel it all - to end the hide
Run back (Into all shadows)
Ending the parts, in the shallow
Owning more to end layers of shame
Choosing light for a divine exchange

With my shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
That does follow
(Follow, follow, follow) 
My shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
I also follow (Shadow, shadow, shadow)
I also follow (Follow, follow, follow) 
I also follow (Shadow, shadow, shadow)

With my shadow 
(Shadow, shadow, shadow)
That does follow
(Follow, follow, follow) 
My shadow 
(Shadow, shadow shadow)
I also follow
(Follow, follow, follow) 

Hello shadow
Hello shadow 
Hello

My Shadow

[Verse]
Chips flying off the drywall yeah tracing each arc in flight
Last thing you said echoes through my night
Chain reaction cascading through my head
Tug of war between the two flames that we fed

[Prechorus]
And I feel it coming on like it came on before,
One hurt sparks another now it’s begging for more

[Chorus]
Hurt people hurt people yeah, you know the drill
Hurt people hurt people yeah, take each bitter pill
Hurt people hurt people oh it’s always a thrill
Hurt people hurt people yeah it’s kill or be killed

[Verse 2]
And the cycle spins round like a spiral of shit
Who’s the victim, who’s the villain, you're both throwing a fit
Every broken heart’s just another brick in the wall
Stack ‘em up till we’re both crushed when it falls

[Chorus]
Hurt people hurt people yeah, you know the drill
Hurt people hurt people yeah, just empty the till,
Hurt people hurt people oh it’s always a thrill
Hurt people hurt people yeah it’s kill or be killed

[Bridge]
Hurt people hurt people,
I’m a hammer with no nail I destroy it all
Hurt people hurt people,
But they're still there when I fall

[Chorus]
Hurt people hurt people yeah, you know the deal
Hurt people hurt people yeah, moments you steal,
Hurt people hurt people yeah another hole to be filled,
Hurt people hurt people till the madness falls still!

[Outro]
Hurt people hurt people
Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt people
Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt people
Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people hurt people
Hurt people, hurt people

Hurt People Hurt People (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
Surrounded by those believing the worst of me,
And outnumbered by those still cursing me,
Only satisfied when they can start blaming me,
They revel each time they try shaming me,

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to open doors I can't close again,  
If I start now, I don't know where it will end,
I'm scared of this tide, and where it might lead,  
But these words keep tugging at me.  

[Verse 2]
I'm not perfect but I'm proud just to get by,
Holding on to the guilt that it took to survive,
And It's not your fault for all these grudges I bare,
This scar tissue is from someone who cares,

[Chorus]
Can't say that I'm sorry
(When I've had to pay double for every mistake)
Can't say that I'm sorry 
(I can feel the dam I'm holding back starting to break)  
Can't say that I'm sorry
(I'm afraid that I can't say it until it's too late)
Can't say that I'm sorry
(I'm not ready for the things that might escape)

[Verse 3]
And I KNOW THAT I've been punished before,
Failures defining me to those who like to keep score,
There's a storm cloud building inside
Feel the thunder starting to soar!

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to open doors that I can't close again,  
If I start now, I don't know where it will end,
I'm scared of the tide, and where it might lead,  
But these words keep tugging at me.  

[Chorus]
Can't say that I'm sorry
(When I've had to pay double for every mistake)
Can't say that I'm sorry 
(I can feel the dam I'm holding back starting to break)  
Can't say that I'm sorry
(I'm afraid that I can't say it until it's too late)
Can't say that I'm sorry
(I'm not ready for the things that might escape)

[Insrtrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Somewhere between being the hero and being a pest,
Must be a place where I can just stop and rest,
Between trying too hard and still trying my best,
I live in the space between tolerance and forgiveness,

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to open doors I can't close again,  
If I start now, I don't know where it will end,
I'm scared of the tide, where it might lead,  
But these words keep tugging at me.  

[Chorus]
Can't say that I'm sorry
(When I've had to pay double for every mistake)
Can't say that I'm sorry 
(I can feel the dam I'm holding back starting to break)  
Can't say that I'm sorry
(I'm afraid that I can't say it until it's too late)
Can't say that I'm sorry
(I'm not ready for the things that might escape)

I'm generating the soundtrack for my own life, Yes, I'm using AI to translate my lyrics into music but I see it as just an exciting and new instrument to add to the repertoire. Ultimately, I'd rather listen to something real annd personal than the artificial songs pushed by the 'real' mainstream media. At least these songs connect to me. I hope they connect to you, too, and if they do then it really doesn't matter how they get generated, does it?

While these are a personal passion project, I am trying to capture things that I believe resonate with other people's experiences. Music is communication, after all. 

Please enjoy picking up the fragments of my mind. 

If you see me passing through the algorithm please feel free to say g'day.

Reach out if you listen to the song and like it. If you like it then please repost and share it with other people who may also like it. If you want to create something with any track then let me know. I will happily share but don't try to sell me anything. If you're inspired then create something and pay it forward. 

I also like coffee, so... you know... Cheers.
