Lyrics

Verse 1
Driving past your block again
Something pulls me here
Not the same as back then
When you held me near

Radio up loud tonight
Trying not to think
But these streets remind me
Of everything we did

Pre-Chorus
Heart beating faster now
As I pass your window
Used to call this home
Now I'm just somebody that you used to know

Chorus
Looking better than your memory (yeah-eh-eh)
Bet you wouldn't recognize me (no-oh-oh)
Riding through these empty streets alone
But I'm finally letting go

Verse 2
Got your message yesterday
Left me on read
Funny how it hits different
Inside my head

Dancing in my car right now
Bass up real high
Bet you're wondering who I am
When I drive by

Pre-Chorus
Heart racing like before
As I pass your house
But this time I know
I'm stronger than all my doubts

Chorus
Looking better than your memory (yeah-eh-eh)
Bet you wouldn't recognize me (no-oh-oh)
Riding through these empty streets alone
But I'm finally letting go

Bridge
Time heals
But speed helps
Night air
New self
Can't stay
Won't break
My way
Your loss

Chorus
Looking better than your memory (yeah-eh-eh)
Bet you wouldn't recognize me (no-oh-oh)
Riding through these empty streets alone
But I'm finally letting go (oh-oh)

Better Than Memory

The essence of "Goodness" filled in a positive affirmation melodic techno. Enjoy!

LYRICS

[Intro – spoken word, beat slow build]
Back in Texas…
Not just revisiting soil — I’m digging up soul.
Papa Roy in the walls, my brother in the wind…
Hong in her feelings, and I’m somewhere in between.

[Verse 1]
Garage sale gold, seventeen-hundred in a shoebox,
Old ghosts in the photos, heard ‘em talkin’ through the boom box.
Papa Roy in my stock, legacy locked —
Winnfield whispers, “Build, don’t stop.”
Fiber dreams with the fam, blueprint in my hand,
Indiana route mapped — we might just expand.
But time’s tight, emotions runnin’ deep,
Cleanin’ out a shed turned into something steep.

[Hook – melodic autotuned chorus]
It’s more than just a box of clothes,
It’s memory lanes and stories froze.
She said, “Why you movin’ so cold?”
But I was grieving what I never got to hold.
Legacy bankrolls, pain in the vault,
I stood tall while she found fault.
But I honored my bloodline, scars and all,
From baby shoes to business calls.

[Verse 2]
Hong ain’t wrong, she just don’t see,
That this ain’t clutter, this is therapy.
I ain’t dodgin’ love, I’m just tryna be free,
From the weight of a past I ain’t asked to carry.
Pressure like a loan, every word is collateral,
Dreams in the margins, hearts in sabbatical.
But I ain’t bitter, nah, I’m lit with clarity,
I’m the man I was, and the man I dared to be.

[Bridge]
Every tear from this trip a down payment,
Every silence a statement.
Brother, I saw you in that sweater I saved —
And I swear I heard you sayin’:
“Keep goin’. Build the thing. We’re made for this.”

[Final Hook]
Legacy bankrolls, tears on the lease,
Turning grief into fuel, no sign of peace.
But I honored my bloodline, roots run deep,
And I left Texas awake, not asleep.
Legacy bankrolls…
It’s love in disguise.
It’s the past sayin’: “Rise.” (Rise)
Woah-oh-oh-oh

[Bass Drop - musical interlude]

[Outro - Lyrical Call Backs]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I honored my bloodline, scars and all,
From baby shoes to business calls and stories froze. (Mama knows)
She said, “Why you movin’ so cold?”
But I was grieving what I never got to hold.
Legacy bankrolls, pain in the vault,
I stood tall while she found fault.
But I honored my bloodline, scars and all,
From baby shoes to business calls.

Hong ain’t wrong, she just don’t see,
That this ain’t clutter, this is therapy.
I ain’t dodgin’ love, I’m just tryna be free,
From the weight of a past I ain’t asked to carry.
Pressure like a loan, every word is collateral,
Dreams in the margins, hearts in sabbatical.
But I ain’t bitter, nah, I’m lit with clarity,
I’m the man I was, and the man I dared to be.

Every tear from this trip a down payment,
Every silence a statement.
Brother, I saw you in that sweater I saved —
And I swear I heard you sayin’:
“Keep goin’. Build the thing. We’re made for this.”

Legacy Bankrolls!

Return Tenfold

Dial-up screams. Loot lost forever.
“Rez in the Dark” drags MMO nostalgia back into the trap.

A melodic-trap x nerdcore fusion that resurrects EverQuest’s brutal corpse-run era on its 25th anniversary, before safe zones and sparkle-loot softened the grind. 
The Ancient Gaming Noob

140 BPM urgency, eerie synth arps, and modem-whine FX mirror the tension of midnight dungeon wipes.

Lyrically throws shade at polished WoW comfort, celebrating scars earned when legends were written in chat logs, not cut-scenes.

For fans of NF’s cinematic punch, Token’s geek-rap storytelling, and Travis Scott-style atmospherics.

SEO focus: EverQuest rap, nostalgic MMO hip-hop, nerdcore trap anthem, gaming-inspired hip hop 2025.

REZ IN THE DARK

„Domino“ blickt nüchtern und lakonisch auf das Leben: Wir jagen dem Glück hinterher, stolpern, verlieren, machen weiter. Der Song spielt mit Bildern von Spielsteinen, Würfeln und Zufall – das Leben als großes Spiel, fragil und unberechenbar. Klare, kurze Zeilen, die wirken wie Schlaglichter: mal bitter, mal tröstend, immer ehrlich.

“Domino” takes a sober, laconic look at life: chasing after happiness, stumbling, losing, moving on. The lyrics circle around images of dominoes, dice, and chance – life as a great game, fragile and unpredictable. Short, sharp lines like flashes of light: sometimes bitter, sometimes comforting, always true.

DOMINO

Wir jagen ihm hinterher, dem großen Glück
Und manch einer bleibt zurück
Bleibt irgendwo zurück...

Kaum ein Ziel, dass wirklich hält
Was es verspricht, in unserer Welt
Hier in unserer Welt

Ist halt so
Schon in Ordnung, nennt sich Leben
Einfach weiter
Domino
Wir sind Spielsteine
In dem großen Spiel
Die Götter würfeln
Alles fragil

Die Würfel sind gefallen, dein Blick ist leer
Und du jagst weiter, deinem Glück hinterher

Wer weiß - eines Tages
Scheint die Sonne auch für dich
Vergiss mich bloß nicht
Vergiss mich nicht

Ist halt so
Schon in Ordnung, nennt sich Leben
Mach einfach weiter
Domino
Wir sind die Steine
In einem großen Spiel
Die Götter würfeln
Ziemlich fragil

Bald bin ich an der Reihe
So viel ist klar
Ja Ja - Oh Ja
Oh Mann, was für ein Ritt
Komm schon, Baby
Spiel einfach mit

Ist halt so
Alles in Ordnung, nennt sich Leben
Weiter, immer weiter
Domino
Wir sind Spielsteine
In dem großen Spiel
Die Götter würfeln
Alles bleibt fragil

From B-Boy Battles to Bass-Driven Revival
Raised in a small Southern town where hip-hop was a lifeline and breakdancing a rebellion, Stanton aka.

Influenced by legends like Egyptian Lover, UTFO, and LL Cool J, he mixed tapes, popped and locked, and earned a reputation as the best breakdancer in town.

Life took him through Christian ministry, digital animation, political activism, and back to music... each chapter adding layers to his sound. From church choirs to dubstep house parties in LA, DJ CRUZE’s journey is a fusion of soul, grit, and reinvention.

Now, armed with AI tools and decades of creative fire, he’s producing forward-facing hip-hop and bass-heavy EDM that moves bodies and stirs spirits. His latest tracks blend old-school electro with modern production, echoing a lifetime of rhythm, resistance, and rebirth.

“I make music for the dancefloor and the soul. It’s graffiti for the ears, praise for the pulse.”

Stanton's music is available on SoundCloud, and he’s seeking collaborators, curators, and platforms that believe in stories that move people... literally and emotionally.

I created my first tracks in the late 1990s in my bedroom using Fast Tracker 2 on a decidedly underpowered computer. 

Over two decades later, I produce music under the alias House Gods, a name inspired by Central Seven's seminal tracks, "God of House" and "The Making of House". 

My work draws heavily from the music that was the soundtrack to a mispent youth, spanning the mid-1990s through the 2000s.
