[Verse 1]
The old head who think he still young
The young n***a think he grown
The new bitch think she my girl
My old bitch think she my home
Your homeboy think he your friend
But he actin' like your foe
The state think I need a job
And my P.O. think I need parole
The Government think they run shit
They can get ran over, though
A fuckin' pig think he need my ID
He can suck my chromosome
Your dumb ass think you ballin'
But you sittin' in the hole
My partners think they the shit
And the feds think they ain't goin' home

[Chorus]
Independently we stoned
Heaven sent and hellbound
Independent, me and my woes
Heaven sent and hellbound
I don't want no man above me
Don't you want a hand that loves me?
Independent, me and my woes
Heaven sent and hellbound

[Bridge]
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound
Heaven sent and hellbound

[Verse 2]
Fuck the state, we ain't home
Get the throne, hold my phone
These n****s think they want the smoke
Till they hear my hit single, I ain't in the wrong
Who the realest, who the rawest?
I'm from where you know the cops is the shooters
My gun don't got a holster, I'm in a holster
In other words, in a suit with a new pistol
Ready to let it go like I had to let you go
It's really the same way I'm speakin' on my dreams
Ain't no way I could just sit here and scheme
On a green while I'm in the kitchen whippin' cream
My face lookin' all lean
All this pressure that I'm feelin', I got it all in my dreams
Ain't a thing to let it go
I got n****s in the South, we let it go
If they see me in the North, they let it go
If they see me in the East, they let it go
But I know you

Independently We Stoned (ft. Akilah) [Bonus Track]

(Verse 1)
I was chillin’ in the shadow of my better days,
Writin’ scriptures in the margins just to set ablaze,
All these thoughts I never said, got a maze in my head,
Tryna find a way out before the needle hits the thread.

Spillin’ dreams on the vinyl like I meant to confess,
Life’s a test, failed some, still I pencil what’s next.
Ain’t no blessin’ in the flexin’, learned my lessons in stressin’,
Now I meditate with melodies — that’s therapy sessions.

Got a past full of chaos, future got me guessin’,
But I paint it with some color like I’m teachin’ a lesson.
Soul stretchin’, no weapon formed ever could check it,
I’m a misfit with a mission, made peace with the wreckage.

(Hook)
Curtains close, but I’m still in the glow,
Last song playin’, I ain’t rushin’ to go.
Left my truth on the mic, now the echoes just float,
Like a kite in the sky, let the wind write notes.

Curtains close, I ain’t never alone,
My heartbeat’s synced up with the bass and the tone.
Let the light dim slow, let the silence just grow,
End of the show — but the soul won’t go.

(Verse 2)
Yeah, I been dreamin’ underwater, tryna breathe in the blue,
While the pressure made diamonds in the pain I been through.
Got some homies that I lost, got some guilt I outgrew,
Still I toast to the sky like I’m seein’ it through.

Man, I used to want a crown, now I just want calm,
Used to ride every wave, now I float with the psalms.
Tatted pain on my arm, now I write it in songs,
Every scar’s like a map where the healing belongs.

Sip slow, don’t drown in the shallow applause,
Let my flaws hit the page like a round of applause.
Ain’t no cap, no facade, I’m just real with the cause,
Every bar’s like a prayer with a wink to the gods.

(Bridge)
I seen the highs, I seen the lows,
But both of them feel like home...
And even if the curtain close,
This sound forever echoes.

(Final Hook)
Curtains close, but I’m still in the glow,
Last song playin’, I ain’t rushin’ to go.
Left my truth on the mic, now the echoes just float,
Like a kite in the sky, let the wind write notes.

Curtains close, I ain’t never alone,
My heartbeat’s synced up with the bass and the tone.
Let the light dim slow, let the silence just grow,
End of the show — but the soul won’t go.

CORROSIVE ORCHESTRA - GOT TO HAVE YOU BABY - nu jazz / broken beat

Re-issue. First released in 2024 under the artist profile "Songsforsale.ai".
The new era:
You better not follow
the vanity of your fellow men.
You better know the data
and listen to the machine.

The Gospel according to AI

Two beats made to connect two quiet moments — just before the sun sets, and just after it’s gone.

Both tracks were crafted on the Roland SP-606, using dusty samples and warm textures. 

“BEFORE SUNSET” was made for the golden hour — when everything feels warm, slow, and full of light. 
“AFTER SUNSET is for the blue hour — when the sky turns deep and the night quietly takes over.

Made in Athens, Greece — a sampler, a sunset, and two tracks to hold the space between.

BEFORE AND AFTER SUNSET

I tend to make noise, sometimes sound.

Music created with AI, sampled by a human.
Two projects. One mind. No boundaries.

🎧 I'm learning to make music here. Not a producer or a genius — just someone who loves sound and everything around it. Sharing the process, thoughts, wins, and fails. A hobby that's slowly becoming a part of my life.
