GOONFOOL - I support your HAIR! Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Hey Perry I just wanted to say
I really dig your hairstyle as of late
I'm inspired by your boldness, how your cuts frame your face
You've got braids for days leaving boys in a daze
I love your ways, you look sick with bangs hanging in your face
Perry your hair is everything 
Your hair is big, your hair is babe
These bitches wish they were you
And you're realer even when fake
When you rock a bob you're a heartthrob
Long or short, bows or pixie's cut
Your hairstyle is forever changing,
Mystery bun
I support your hair and fashion decisions no matter what
I might be a metal beam, full of support for your hair, trust (trust)

(Chorus)
You have my support in anything you decide to approach
You have my support for your image, your body, your goals
I support your dreams, your vibe, babe you're fucking dope
I support your hair
I support your hair
Your strands glow
Your strands grow
Love your hairstyle 
Damn! Wow, sis, whoa
(sis whoa)

(bridge)
I just wanted to say
I really dig your hairstyle as of late
I'm inspired by your boldness, how your cuts frame your face
You've got braids for days leaving boys in a daze
I love your wigs, you look sick with bangs hanging in your face
Perry, your hair is ill and sick with bangs hanging in your face
Perry your hair is everything 
Your hair is big, your hair is babe
These bitches wish they were you
And you're realer even when fake
When you rock a bob you're a heartthrob
Long or short, bows or pixie's cut
Your hairstyle is forever changing,
Mystery bun
I support your hair and fashion decisions no matter what
I might be a metal beam, full of support for your hair, trust (trust trust trust)
Trust

(Chorus)
You have my support in anything you decide to approach
You have my support for your image, your body, your goals
I support your dreams, your vibe, babe you're fucking dope
I support your hair
I support your hair
Your strands glow
Your strands grow
Love your hairstyle 
Damn! Wow, sis, whoa
(sis whoa)
Wow, sis, whoa

(Verse 2)
My name's Ash and I've rocked and drifted across the globe
My rhyme's been hot, been sick, been cold
My sister's by my side through rain, through sleet, through snow
Go ahead and throw shade and she's pressing you ho's
Her hair is the best I've scooped it, I know
The hairstyles she selects are truth, are art, are bold
I've seen her shave off one side or styled into geometric slopes
She's dyed her hair every color in the rainbow 
French braids, puff balls, sailor bows, messy buns, side parts, ponytails, they're all fun
I love your hair I support your hair, hun
Bad hair days I've never seen one, even if it happens I'm there to cheer you up until the growth is done
Your hair, your hair! Damn is that a new one?
What style is this, I just love what you've done
The texture is straight, it's wavy, it's short, it's long
I support your hair, I've decided, it's done (done done done done)
Done
Done

(Chorus)
You have my support in anything you decide to approach
You have my support for your image, your body, your goals
I support your dreams, your vibe, babe you're fucking dope
I support your hair
I support your hair
Your strands glow
Your strands grow
Love your hairstyle 
Damn! Wow, sis, whoa
(to the side or styled with geometric)
(geometric geometric geometric)
*laughing*
Whoa yeah

I Support Your HAIR!

Globeats messaged me on Soundcloud to show love to my music and invite me to check out some tracks. After scanning their catalog of available tracks,  "SLEEPLESS" spoke to me and my current situation immediately. The hook came to me instantly! I wrote and recorded the whole song in less than 2 hours. This one just felt right off top and came out naturally. This is one of the most personal songs I’ve written over the last few years. If you're up late at night scrolling social media or scanning SoundCloud for new tunes, put this joint on and zone out into a deep trance with me.

SLEEPLESS

SLEEPLESS (prod by Globeats)

"Not Good Enough… Finding Ella" explores self-doubt, societal expectations, and the journey to self-acceptance. Inspired by an AI-generated image of her idealized self, the author reflects on her insecurities—from childhood to a career in medicine—realizing how they limited her confidence and potential. She names the image "Ella," embodying the qualities of beauty, strength, and authenticity. Through this reflection, she urges readers to reject self-doubt, embrace their unique gifts, and share their truths unapologetically. The piece emphasizes that discovering and living as our authentic selves is empowering and essential, urging others not to wait until later in life to do so.

Not Good Enough…(1)(1)

"2:45" explores late-night social media anxiety and FOMO through the lens of Gen Z experience. Through specific details like screen time reports and blue light glasses, it captures the universal feeling of watching others' curated lives through screens. The production supports the story's arc from digital anxiety to self-acceptance, while the hook "Scrolling through my feeds at 2:45" speaks to anyone who's found themselves doom-scrolling through social media in the early hours.

2:45

The lyrics explore the facade of social media, where individuals present a curated version of their lives, often masking their true emotions.struggles with feelings of loneliness and the pressure to appear happy, despite internal turmoil. They highlight the contrast between their genuine pain and the superficiality of online interactions, where likes and filters create a false sense of connection. The song conveys a deep sense of vulnerability

Fake Okay
