Flow Like Water

Deep SEA

Estela

Some songs are more personal than others. 

This one began with me soloing on my guitar. For some reason, what I was playing registered with the same emotion I felt when I learned my dad was going to prison. So, I created a song around that soloing and story. 

But what I felt in relation to my own biography has been recreated millions of times across this country. After all, we don’t call it _mass_ incarceration for nothing. 

Song songs that are deeply personal turn out to be deeply collective as well.

The Fall

Lyrics: living my life as a fantasy 
Weight on my chest the world just fell on me 
Hope you got a vest catch a thirty piece 
Having trouble confirming my own identity 
Questioning everything around, ain’t a friend of me 
Bound catch a fever this shit hot, hundred ten degrees
Yeah my bitch perfect like a motherfucking pedigree 
dumb on the surface and my mind hold like 10 degrees 
only associate with the fact I need the green 
Wouldnt say greed but moneys the only thing I need 
leave me alone yeah you know that I’d like the peace
Cup of patron that I’m on helps to ground my feet 
Hands to the bone so I know you can’t fuck with me 
energy flows and it’s glows leave you deceased 
Pray that you know where you going hope you find some peace
And to the ones that I love I’m sorry 
I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me 
But I’m keep going till it’s a hundred every minute
whip go a hundred or more when I’m in it
Clip hold a hundred and one when I grip it 
Throw him to the bottom of ponds with some fishes
Saying that you got it but you acting like some bitches
Evidence is gone the moment that I’m finished 
I don’t give a fuck what location on the grid it is 
I can hunt you down like hisoka ima menace bitch

It’s Gol d. Roger how I’m counting on treasure 
Stacking up dollars gold and little bit extra
Main fucking character y’all just extras
I can’t fuck with it if aint get me messed up 
Fall like the leaves leave the scene so chilly
Hope you never fucking curse the world with some children 
Hope your fucking life just crumble like a building
You could never get to the legacy I’m building bitch
