Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see.

I Always Knew

prod. by me

[Intro]
I don't know who will, nor who needs to hear this but
Here I am talking to myself again
'Cause the only time I feel at peace is
When I'm alone with my thoughts
So yeah, I made another song
To cope with the damage my heart constantly receive

[Verse]
I try my best, even though I know it won't worth it
I'm not stressed, I deal with this shit the best
You can't deceive me, I've been through with this test
I'm here, at one piece, breathing through the smokes, at least

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah they're right, I'm overdramatic
A teenage mind is so problematic
My heart races like an F1 car
I'm afraid I'll bump into emotions I can't recall
When I fell in love with you
Tell me, how hard did I fucking fall?
(How hard did I fall?)

[Chorus]
I fall like snowflakes in a cold winter night
I watch as she fades out of my sight
The memories, the times, all left in the past
Comes back again and again, haunting me so fast
The string she attached me, grip me so tight
I wanna hear her say "You matter."
But I don't, so in despair I falter
It's sickening that in me I see my father
The man I never wanted to become
Lives right through my heart
I could try to change, but I think it don't matter

[Bridge]
Every time I stare at my solitarium
I see your ghost patrol
It's killing me, I cannot interact
(I just wanna say, I love you)

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah they're right, I'm overdramatic
A teenage mind is so problematic
My heart races like an F1 car
I'm afraid I'll bump into emotions I can't recall
When I fell in love with you
Tell me, how hard did I fucking fall?
(How hard did I fall?)

[Chorus]
I fall like snowflakes in a cold winter night
I watch as she fades out of my sight
The memories, the times, all left in the past
Comes back again and again, haunting me so fast
The string she attached me, grip me so tight
I wanna hear her say "You matter."
But I don't, so in despair I falter
It's sickening that in me I see my father
The man I never wanted to become
Lives right through my heart
I could try to change, but I think it don't matter

[Outro]
Every time I stare at my solitarium
I see your ghost patrol
It's killing me, I cannot interact
(I just wanna say, I love you)

i fall like snowflakes in a cold winter night

"The first Dilated Peoples Video, “Third Degree”, was directed by Jason. My first solo video “Mr Slow Flow” was directed by Jason, he’s always been a part of my team, not just some guy for hire. Being that he moved to LA from NY recently, we knew it was time to work. The new video is jumping all over LA to narrate the lyrics through still and moving images. Jason came up with an amazing way to have it all transition together through SSUR t-shirts coming to life. The locations in the video are personally important to me -the alley where I grew up, Alchemist’s studio etc…” -Evidence

LYRICS: 
Only Life I Know

It’s my life 
Yeah the only one that I’ll ever know 
Feeling extra low 
Please let me go 
Oh… Lord… No…

It’s my life 
Yeah the only one that I’ll ever know 
And it stress me so
God bless my soul
Oh… Lord… No…

Whether it’s the projects or trailer park mess
Raggedy apartment complex
With a stressed out single mom sitting on the steps
Waiting on the mailman looking for a check

Boys on the corner pushing out their chest
Questing for anything that resemble respect
Young girls swing their hip with every step
Looking for affection settling for sex

Bodies decorated with tattoos and chains
Trying to put armor between you and pain
Wood grain steering wheel the bass bang
Loud enough to drown out the hatred in your brain

The only out is smoking out 
Get lean get wet get meth get tore down
Cause who the hell would want to stick around
Put me in a haze I ain’t never coming down

It’s my life 
Yeah the only one that I’ll ever know 
Feeling extra low 
Please let me go 
Oh… Lord… No…

It’s my life 
Yeah the only one that I’ll ever know 
And it stress me so
God bless my soul
Oh… Lord… No…

They just want to get you in the system stick you in a prison 
Enlist you in the military ship you to the desert
Gigs don’t exist for you to make a decent living
But we got three illegal wars that you can pick from 

Keep stressing morals and personal decisions
Tell me what’s moral about these conditions
Who decided you don’t got enough to teach children
Stay spending billions on stadiums and prisons

How many routes can folks really choose
When you’re oppressed only three lead to you
The first one is follow the rules and stay in school
And be the square dude that society approves    

Get a little job or a shitty apartment
A subprime mortgage in a failing house market
And after a life of dedication and hardship
You die just as poor as you was when you started

Fuck that what’s up with the second option 
You can always hit the corner and try to get it popping
Get fast guap when you out robbing and clocking
But chances are that you probably die violent

Best hope that you got it getting knocked 
End up with a job in a prison metal shop
They ain’t paying nothing but 3 hots and a cot 
Don’t you know that’s the biggest hustle they got

Or door three you could get on that welfare
They ain’t trying to help they’ll put you through hell there
Give you just enough so you’re not going to starve
And constantly harass you while you looking for a job 

If you do luck up and someone let you punch a clock
And they find out about then your check is getting docked
Can’t win for losing they dehumanize you 
You never get caught up you caught up in that cycle

It’s my life 
Yeah the only one that I’ll ever know 
Feeling extra low 
Please let me go 
Oh… Lord… No…

It’s my life 
Yeah the only one that I’ll ever know 
And it stress me so
God bless my soul
Oh… Lord… No…
