I decided to release this final leak because yesterday was my 2 years clean. It has been a journey to say the least. I wrote and recorded this song very near the beginning of my clean time; that is how long I have held on to this record. The collaborating artist that asked me to feature never bothered to finish the song. Here it is for you all to stream and download as you please.

Thank you all.

Verse One
Got all these old behaviors that became second nature. Now I work on them and watch so-called friends become strangers. Some acquaintances I never thought I’d mesh with, ended up becoming a part of me; closer than family. As a thinker, even simple things grew deeper. Popping pills, frying, trying to hide it; still eager, for the next trip. Didn’t believe in a bigger picture, just wanted an exit; that I ended up finding in these scriptures. Indeed a potent mixture, in need of stable living. Not from anywhere. An old soul steadily roams. Readily arose, well acquainted, even if I’m locally unknown. Shifting time zones; my mind blown. Aim was never to be a GOAT, though if I reap what I sew, my harvest as an artist tops all these mainstream cropped clones. Then I fade to black, let these critics play their part. That RAYCE-ism on a track, doing it for the art.

LYRICS

(Verse One)
Finish where I started with a new perspective; well connected, respected by most folks. Locally neglected though my raps are a perfectionist’s best attempt at making sense via vocals. Over production I’m grateful to compose for; I post more on my cloud of sounds now and give it to you free in a download file. So, if you can relate to it let me tell you how, we’ll stay in touch, even if I’m out of reach; only a text away, or maybe even down the street. I give back to my fans. As an independent artist I overstand you help make me who I am through interactions and built attachments, sometimes attraction, though I gotta let it be; only creeping with women that got ambitions and dreams, super awkward, I’m “No game shameless.” Rarely aimless, always thinking next step. New school, old soul. Influences stay coming out of left field; never on the bench, bet. A free agent, a mason of mass appeal. My style is mine; my mind untamable. This smile is really mine, unattainable, until after you’ve weathered the storm, taken lessons away from it and become well informed.

(Verse Two)
And at the end of the globe if the depths of my soul are not fortified, I might’ve made a wrong turn. Whether hospitable or hostile, I create in hopes of escaping to hostiles and brothels. Keep your hotels, even in a foreign land, I am not a tourist, I’m a global citizen. (Ugh!) Say it again: I am not a tourist, I’m a global citizen. 

(Chorus)
But I don’t (I don’t) have the answer, no. And I go (I go) ‘til the end of the globe. 
[And I don’t have the answer, no, but I go to the end of the globe. (x3)]
