Fighting back against the things we were told we were "supposed to do" growing up and pursuing what makes us happy, feel successful or fulfilled.

Supposed To (Feat. FR33SOL)

More than an IDGAF party anthem, "Get Me a Drank" is a call to be individualistic and ignore all of the unimportant outside opinions. At the end of the day, if you are bringing home the bacon, putting up numbers, and getting the job done, who is anyone to tell you you can't have a drink? SO GET ME A DRANK

Get Me A Drank
