cool change up, dig the heavy dark alternative vibes up to the halfway marker, fun classic folk rocking second half, dig those guitars and fresh bassline, really excellent sonic bed for IPG1's vocals!

love this background soundtrack -- busy like an Indian marketplace, operated by Texans. two perfect trademarks, IPG1 and TMS!

lyrics by IPG1

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late
to create —-understand and fascinate
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate
is gravy to me—— so I’mer keep it straight
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny
it might take some time ——for all to see
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti
infusing the track with—- positive energy
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus

Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway
please try to meet me halfway
