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)
Heaven, is a mysterious place. Some spend their whole life caught up in a chase, in a hustle, in a struggle, in search of a mind state; never really taking the time to self evaluate. Heaven, is it figurative or literal? A parable to match all these stories that are biblical? Enlightenment? Heightening of senses we're given? Somewhere along the lines of alchemy and spiritualism? I want: Heaven, to not only be a part of me but something I can help my sisters and brothers achieve. Fighting all these demons, must be something watching, but with superficial religions I cannot link! Heaven, out of reach? Prove it to me plainly. Otherwise I'm waiting on the next plane to leave. Passport, backpack, plus tons of foreign land. Count me in. The Traveling Man... 

(Verse Two)
Jotting down thoughts just to pick apart the writer's block; couple of these conversations feels like I'm writing blogs. What inspires me? Do I see the irony? Is this really a lifestyle? Don't you cherish privacy? Truth is I do this because it's GOD given: Gaining Optimism Daily, hoping to make a difference, leave an imprint, goals from ambitions that otherwise never would've grown to fruition. Now that there is heaven on earth. Similar to the experience of being across the globe from your place of birth yet, still at home. Regardless of location, learning to atone. I want a piece of mind but don't know which. Busy carving my own niche instead of being short lived. In an attempt toward thinking long term, I project with passion these obscure words.

(Verse Three)
Ambitions, goals we all strive toward. A babbling champion, campaigning, but what for? Check your hearts at the door. Lost, not yet found, the story of so many souls, regardless of the town. It's become quite eclectic, with or without content, that sixth man on the bench. The shoulders we crawled upon, just to disrespect, the second we moved up from that ground floor. So catch me in the lobby moving forward toward providence. I keep a long list of those I've shared gratitudes with. Independent but never alone, I let the conscience collective decide where I roam. From home to Rome to wherever I touch next. No VIP necessary, make it easy to connect. Rocking whole sets in the crowd how I rep. Aware of my every step, knowing I'm blessed!

(Chorus)
We got goals and some plans to match. No excuses if it's in our hands. We got faith even if it's not the same. Passionate actions change the game.
