In the depths of despair, Strixx finds his way,  
Through loss and longing, a path to stray.  
Ambushed by light, his fate takes a turn,  
A journey begins, lessons to learn.

In the woods, he awakens, lost and confused,  
Yet back home, life seems bemused.  
A mysterious girl, a haunting sight,  
Lost friends return, shining bright.

Rebuilding connections, confronting his past,  
Truths unravel, shadows cast.  
A ticking time bomb, dual in its might,  
Success and self-implosion, in the fight.

With Jarmel by his side, a guide unseen,  
Navigating realms, both real and dream.  
Each heartbeat, a track, a tale to tell,  
Of resilience, of struggles, and breaking the spell.

Through turbulent seas, Strixx sails true,  
A testament to the black man's hue.  
With schizoeffective disorder, a mind to mend,  
Yet in the chaos, love remains a friend.

As the album echoes, may you find your voice,  
In the beats, in the verses, in the noise.  
For in Strixx's journey, a mirror you'll see,  
Of hope, of strength, of possibility.

Time bomb

Early 2000s alternative rock vibes. Song about a mental break down

Lyrics:
I hear the ghost of so many people that’s in my past 
I used to think my childhood friendships would surely last 
Like most things in this life they become so fragile like glass 
I try to numb the pain with marijuana cigarettes 
Oh everybody say I’m on the path to hell 
Oh I met with the devil shook his hand aswell 
They don’t know that I don’t see the light any more 
I killed the hope inside me it’s within my core 

Pre Chorus: oh I’m crying out for someone to save me 
Oh this world is cold it’s tryna break 
I need a way out 
Gotta find a way to shake the doubt 
2xChorus: Look at me I’m freefallin
Free from all my fake ass friends 
Now I know how it was then 
Im moving forward oh yeah 

Oh life has a strange way of telling you always where to go 
See smiling buddhas with snake eyes and they hate you on the low 
Worst kind of friend is the one who pretends that he knows 
the pain that you’re goin through 
I know how hard it be to understand soliloquies 
And I just try to sing these lullabies to help me sleep at night 
Prechorus 

2x Chorus

Free Falling

Im on my Katt Williams shit with this one 🖕🏾

crucifixion (Nero  freestyle)

In the rhythm's pulse, a manifesto ignites,
"TNT" explodes, setting skies alight.
A call to destiny, a seizing of control,
As the bomb ticks, revealing its soul.

Appearances deceive, truths unfold,
In "Timebomb's" tale, destinies are told.
Urgency echoes, empowerment roars,
Breaking free from constraints, opening doors.

Each beat a detonation, each note a spark,
Captivating hearts, lighting the dark.
Transformative energy, dynamic and bold,
Seizing life's reins, stories untold.

As "TNT" detonates, the journey begins,
A rallying cry, breaking through skins.
Liberation beckons, anticipation flies,
In the explosion's aftermath, new horizons rise.

JOURNAL ENTRY

In the realm of "safety plan,"  
Where melodies blend and stories span,  
A black boy in white suburbia's glare,  
Navigating the maze with tender care.

Echoes of Green Day, Mayday Parade,  
Soothing the soul in the shade.  
Crafted whimsically, on a sunny day,  
A journey unfolds, in the music's sway.

With a hair stylist's husband, by my side,  
A track takes shape, a heartfelt ride.  
More than just music, it's a catharsis profound,  
A beacon of hope, in the chaos around.

So step into my world, if you're able,  
Let the melodies be your fable.  
Hold on tight, as the stories unfold,  
In the power of a song, let your heart be consoled.

And if you're able; hold on,  
In the darkest moments, till the dawn.  
For amidst the chaos, a reason to strive,  
In the music's embrace, find strength to revive.

Yo, check it out,

I just dropped this new track that hits close to home. It's about battling with my own mind, how my mental illness tries to convince me I'm unlovable, that folks only put up with me. But deep down, I know it's all twisted lies, like looking at myself through a messed-up funhouse mirror.

Thing is, I bet there are others out there feeling the same way, caught up in their own mental maze. So, I put this song out hoping it reaches someone who needs to hear they ain't alone in this struggle. 'Cause trust me, I've been there.

In the echoes of time, they roam,  
Strixx, Heytyshawn, and 4ourthkind alone,  
Oh walking C4, I've seen this before,  
In the labyrinth of memories, they're thrown.

Each step they take, a tale retold,  
In the dance of fate, their souls unfold,  
Oh walking C4, I've seen this before,  
Bound by the past, yet fiercely bold.

Haunted by shadows, they embrace the night,  
Seeking solace in each other's light,  
Oh walking C4, I've seen this before,  
In unity, they find their might.

Through valleys of pain, they journey on,  
Facing demons till the break of dawn,  
Oh walking C4, I've seen this before,  
Redemption sought, their hearts reborn.

In the symphony of scars, they find their song,  
Together they stand, forever strong,  
Oh walking C4, I've seen this before,  
In acceptance, they finally belong.

WALKING C4 FT HEYTYSHAWN AND 4OURTHKIND

In the hush of the room, where shadows dance,
Echoes of whispers in a melancholy trance.
Faces blurred in the flickering light,
Tales of yesteryears, fading out of sight.

Tell me you love me, in this silent space,
Amidst the residue of time's embrace.
Whispers of honey, not venom's sting,
In this moment, where echoes ring.

I cling to memories, with desperate hold,
In the echoes of time, relentless and cold.
Angels sing softly, in the twilight's gleam,
Guiding me through the cosmic stream.

In overdrive, I must stay alive,
Le Noir whispers, but I can't die.
Temptation lingers, in the shadows deep,
But freedom calls, in whispers sweet.

So tell me you love me, in the echoes' embrace,
In this cosmic dance, in time and space.
For in the hush of the room, where shadows dance,
I find solace in the echoes' trance.

Tell Me You Love Me

I want to show solidarity with all my comrades who can't take a break from the carnage. I want them to know not a day goes by where I don't think about yall. I may not have the resources right now to make a dent in the problem. But I'm hoping this song will cause a chain reaction. Much love for veronica for the powerful art. FREE PALESTINE. FREE CONGO. FREE SUDAN. FREE ARMENIA. AND LASTLY FUCK WESTERN IMPERIALISM!

"In the depths of memory's maze, I unearthed a forgotten treasure, a melody that whispers of bygone days, of freestyles spun with Mikey, my late friend, under the moon's gentle gaze. Lost in the rhythm's embrace, I journeyed through highs and lows, a restless soul seeking solace in the echoes of the past.

Five funerals, five years, a haunting refrain of sorrow etched upon my heart. In my quest for reinvention, I wandered far from my essence, chasing shadows in a futile dance with fate. But in the silence, amidst the static of uncertainty, Hovik's voice pierced through, a beacon urging me to turn back, to reclaim what was lost.

It began with a name, a simple thread connecting me to my roots, to the essence of Sankofa. With each beat, each note, I embraced the wisdom of returning to retrieve, to honor the journey that shaped me. Sooshi Park and Ghosthouse, sanctuaries of shared dreams and untold stories, I offer this song as a tribute to your spirit, may it guide you on your quest for understanding.

In the depths of melody's embrace, I find solace, a sanctuary where past and present intertwine, where I am free to explore the depths of my soul. This is my ode to Sankofa, a melody of remembrance, a journey of rediscovery."

A prayer for the absurdist 

like sisyphus rolling his boulder 
I pray you choose happiness to defy the odds 
though times may be colder 
may you find solace in my sonic knod 
 different beings yet we share  similarites 
we both have been outcasted blessed and cursed by life's absurdies
Imagine us both happy in a world that sees us as irregularities

AM I CRAZY NOW

In the whirlwind of change, I found my stride,
Amidst the chaos, where truths abide.
Through manic waves, I pledged my vow,
A promise forged in the heat of the now.

With fervent heart and mind aflame,
I etched my commitment, sans any blame.
In the crucible of transformation's call,
I vowed to rise, to stand tall.

Though shadows danced in the tempest's haze,
I swore to endure, to find brighter days.
In the midst of turmoil, I found my voice,
And made a solemn promise, my ultimate choice.

So in this verse, amid the manic fray,
I declare my pledge, come what may.
To navigate change with courage and grace,
Embracing life's tumult, in every embrace.

No B button man I’m really bold 
One of a kind story that  I’ve ever told 

Verse:I just need a moment 
Dip in my subsconscious pen again
Time blind unaware of where the time went

Wish on a blank cavas the sonics are my sacrament 
I think about the nights I spent 
Pondering the meaning of it all 
And then I took the fall oh

No B button man I’m really bold 
One of a kind story yeah that I’ve ever told

Bridge: try to hold it in 
Don’t know where to begin 
I guess I’ll tell my story today 
And if I ever perish before my time 
Remember that there’s really no such thing 
Remember the one question to answer:is life really worth living?
Oh I just really wanna live my life and be free
I’ve done my time of faking and pretending 
Like I got all the answers 
Sometimes I dont know 
Sometimes I go with the flow
Sometimes really I just got to go

Unspoken History

In a field of dreams, where whispers roam,
Echoes of the past, calling us home.
Amongst the cornstalks, tall and serene,
Visions of what was, and what might have been.

In this sacred space, where memories reside,
Legends are born, and truths coincide.
A diamond awaits, under the starlit sky,
Where dreams take flight, and hopes amplify.

In the heart of the field, where magic abounds,
The spirit of the game, forever surrounds.
With each step we take, the past unfolds,
And stories untold, in whispers, are told.

Through the lens of time, we glimpse the past,
Moments of glory, too precious to last.
Yet in this field, where the soul finds its rest,
We discover the truth, in each heartfelt quest.

So let us wander, in this field of dreams,
Where the soul finds solace, in timeless streams.
For in the echoes of laughter, and the songs of the night,
We find ourselves whole, in the field's gentle light.

In the heart's vast realm, where shades unite,
Diclonius and hues, in harmony's light.
Beneath the skin's veil, a symphony plays,
Notes of resilience in diverse arrays.

With horns of ivory, they tread the earth,
Echoes of struggles, resilience birthed.
In the tapestry of life, threads intertwined,
Diclonius and colors, their spirits aligned.

Through trials endured, in storms they find peace,
Strength in unity, their burdens release.
From the depths of pain, a chorus ascends,
Voices united, where prejudice ends.

In the dance of existence, they weave their tale,
Diclonius and people, beyond skin's veil.
Ode to the union, where differences fade,
In the embrace of humanity, they find serenade.

Against oppression and violence, we form an alliance.
With hearts ablaze with the Eternal Spark,
We vow to shine through the darkest dark.

From the depths of our souls, a revolution stirs,
As we fight for the oppressed, our voices are heard.
With each step forward, we break the chains,
For in unity and solidarity, true power reigns.

Let the echoes of our chants resound,
As we stand on sacred ground.
Together, we rise, a force to be reckoned,
For the flame of liberation cannot be dampened.

So raise your fists, and stand tall and proud,
For justice and freedom, we vow to be loud.
With the Eternal Spark as our guide,
We'll march forward, side by side.

For in the fire of our souls, the revolution thrives,
As we fight for justice and human lives.
So join us now, in solidarity's embrace,
And together, let's create a better place.

YOU DONT SCARE US FREESTYLE

Yo, what's up world! I go by the name Strixx, straight outta the Windy City, repping Chicago till the end. I'm all about that music life, drawing inspiration from the likes of Saba, Noname, Billy Talent, Brakence, and a whole bunch more. 

My mission? Keep it simple: I'm here to make dope tunes that actually mean something. When I'm not cooking up beats, you'll catch me getting real about mental health and social justice—because those topics hit close to home for me.

Genres? Nah, I ain't about that box life. I ride the waves of alternative hip-hop, indie rock, bedroom pop, and R&B, blending them together like a sonic smoothie.

But let me be clear: I ain't chasing after fame and glory. Nah, I'm all about sparking a revolution and building a community for those who want to change the world through music. 

So, if you're down for some real talk, raw beats, and vibes that hit different, stick around. Expressing the inexpressible? That's what I do best, fam. Much love for your time and your ears. Let's make some magic together! 🎶❤️
