Hook: (Smalltown Uprise)
Here we go
To a place
Where they don't know about us
We will fly
into space
Where the stars go around us

[Verse] - Dj Knite X
Yo, everybody wants to listen to me go hard
but I never have the heart or the smart to let me go far
listen, let me tell you how I light the spark
it's all about the mind and it's always about the heart
keep your head up, keep your hands close
make a fist cause you're ready to let it go
punch away all the fear that you kept hiding in you
let it go cause you can do the things you want to
like, everybody is chilling outside, like, everybody is having fun
all times, like everybody wants to see you who you are and who you want to be
cause they know you
don't try to disquise who you really aren't
put aside the lies and become that shooting star
if it means to please who the ones that want street
believe me when I said I'm not street
I'm not pretending who I want to be
I'm just a skinny asian guy who wants to be
just a pro gamer playing starcraft, making money
meeting all these pro gamers, TempO, MC
Boxer, NaDa, one day, that's me
Let me tell you how I'm going to be
I never gave up nor I never gave in
I just forgive and forget
and make peace

[Bridge] - Dj Knite X
What is left to do, we can do whatver
I'm back in the room   waiting for my last semester
Writing songs is on the top of my list
I made a point to make sure you don't exist
I'm writing lines to understand who I am
Its been 6 months and I'm still damned
to figure out where I'm going
Everyone's heading west, where am I going?
I'm stuck between the lines of the things I would do
and now I'm writing lines of things I will do
Paying off my student loans is what I should do
I'm stuck in Hell with no God to look foward to
and I wish I can stop time or speed this up
I'm always thinking I'll fuck something up
I grew up always thinking this
I'm not a self help book, I'm just a fucked up kid

note| Primavera crown is an encounter between conflicting ethics of my work — the role of individual imagination and expressive possibility against the large canvas of chamber orchestra. The work brings into conversation aesthetic materials across different contemporary classical practices and places them within a liberatory framework, drawn from the socioeconomic realities of racialized spaces. Do these materials have the capacity to grow beyond their dominant origins?

The result opens a space for confrontation: on the one hand, its expressive sonic spaces and trajectories profoundly engage my imagination; on the other I struggle, from a philosophical perspective, with the mechanisms and aesthetics I’m invoking and their connotations.
