LONGEST DAY, SHORTEST NIGHT

produced by @Faunafauna
mixed/mastered by @roeme

Lyrics:
I swear u don’t know me..
Aside from this music shit u never will 
Ill prolly never get a deal
But if I do I hope its Def Jam 
I touch the bible with my left hand.. 
Cuz I’m lying out my asshole
Really I think I deserve this cashflow 
And not no million dollar deal
I aint tryna be only rich  nigga in the hills….
Losing touch of whats real
Ill prolly buy a crib smack in the hood 
Give the homie dap like whats good..
Cuz I aint new to seeing money
Uncle had a Bentley 
Even tho it looked funny

That nigga showed me bout the bread early 
It give a black man power..
That shit had me up at 8:30
Just to walk a nigga dog..
For a lousy 20 dollars..
Use that to cop the fake polos…;
Just to floss on you dodos 
Now look

only niggas in coach

Read this to understand me as an artist :face

Though this aching journey, through every tear, through every joke told and every laugh and snicker shared. This project is the most open I've ever been to an audience.

Throughout the year of 2015 in Detroit, I went through the deepest depression that I could ever comprehend. I wouldn't eat, sleep, and most importantly and most frightening, I wouldn't make music. I didn't turn to anyone for help or guidance during this process, because nobody wants to be that person that talks about their problems everyday. Day in and day out. I used to wake up and stare directly at the sky. (see stargazer EP) Wondering what would the cosmos have to offer if I were to travel into space? Who would notice? Who would wonder why I would want to go? Who would notice I was gone? I want to be the person, if no one has already, your life is important no more matter what your dreams are or your views are towards something. You are important, and deserve to be listened to. For artists and non-artists alike.

And with this project. This is me taking the depression of 2015 and the new found knowledge of all of the interactions I've had in the year of 2016, brought into a story that I could only tell you in the best way I could. This is, without any other way of explaining it. Me translating the saddest moments of my life into the beauty of everything I went through to make me the person I am today. The change is drastic. Scary and down right incredible if you ask me. But the more it changes, the more you evolve into the powerful person you were born to become.

This is one big story inside of a story. Through time and space. 

Thank you to everyone that has helped contribute to this project. Thank you to the producers. My family, brothers, and distant family alike. With that, I am going to be powerful and you are all the same as me.

Listen when you're sad

Lyrics : 

Acuity, acuity acuity (chorus)


Now I know you've been on your own
And all you want is to be alone
But I can see right through your soul
And I will go where you will go with

Acuity, acuity acuity acuity
Acuity, acuity acuity acuity

Lately you've been on my mind
Running wild like grapes and vines
But your berries are much sweeter
When you love me

Acuity, acuity acuity acuity
Acuity, acuity acuity acuity

And in your bed you don't sleep well
Cause he put you under this spell
Think of me, when you get low
And we will go where you can glow
All and all you can't be down
'cause I'm here forever now
Brick by brick
And pound for pound
There's no walls we'd tear 'em down
Don't listen to what's in your ear
Cause they want you to be in fear
And clouds will part
And dry your tears
My sword is sharp
And I'd fight four years.

thank you bro straight up @tomppabeats

wake up, it's time for bool

@nosentences

got my eyes on the computer screen, tryna work my digits in
fidget with the lettering but never with the sentences
pause check the clock, and it appears it's six a.m. again
another night wasted or another day finished
and my mind is steady running in place
i don't wanna fall asleep, 'cause i've got so much to say
but i don't wanna stay awake and keep exhaustion at bay
because i presently am dead inside the bed where i lay
i might as well work now, maybe it could suffice
as more a method of confusion than a dip into life
it's like my body parts are planning out an intricate heist
but my mind is logged in on a different device
and my session expired, i'm exceptionally tired
every step is like fire straight from my head to my toes
see, i'm an excellent liar when i've slept the required
8 or 7 hours prior, but at present i'ma go the fuck to sleep and--

*bwoooooooooomp*

okay rise and shine, hello to the ladybugs
insert several other stupid phrases about waking up
rub the sleep out of my eyes and view the clock that hangs above
and hit the snooze a couple times to keep my hours 8 or plus
check my phone once, twice, three times, four
just so i can see the second i'm messaged by mon amour
for a date or a small excursion straight to a donut store
where i'm holding an open door to convey that i'm spoken for
and it's great, it's a total score, it's a wonderful set of things
that exist in my present bubble of love where the petals sing
as they're blooming on every flower, moving to better springs
engulfed in a heavy shower of rain that the weather brings
and... even though my days might be presented slow
they pass before my eyes at higher rates than even jets can go
and the cycle will repeat itself like history and reddit posts
so what's the point in fighting it? i'm staying up and letting go
