about

Made this about a year ago after Nip died. The A&Rs ignored it and brought me in for 'bangers' instead, so I shelved it, lacking confidence. My family (Mom especially) have always been vocal about me putting it out. With everything going on it feels complacent to let my voice be heard. I don't have much, but I have this. Do what you can.
I don't expect many listeners, let alone proceeds, if you feel inclined i'll continue sending funds around directly to causes helping rebuild, Hit me up, I can help you figure out what you can do to help in YOUR community, but it starts with listening, so, thanks for that.

Keep fighting the good fight, stay safe and stay strong

lyrics

Today, might not be my day, oh but tomorrow's a whole 'nother day.

Suppose, we didn't care what other people thought, we didn't care what other people got, we didn't have to be afraid of cops. Look another brother fell victim to the system that we in, getting hard to pretend, that we can't really see how much danger that we're in. Put pollution in the food and the smog in the air, said they building up a wall while we're all still here. No fear. Cuz man's a survivor. kill cancer with Earth the provider. 'shoot first, ask questions later. Use the WIC boy don't use the lighter' what if I told you that I could see the future would you even want to? Would you?

Suppose we didn't care what other people bought, what if Kanye never made it to the top. would my plot be different would I even get a shot, I've fought these thoughts and what not a whole lot. One misstep headshots turn to mugshots. Can't boycott Gucci if you can't afford it. We worried about imports while there's kids getting deported. Emotional extortion goes on unreported. Government lie to my eyes picture distorted if a solution came along would you support it or would you abort it I'm trying to take your mind and transport it.

I wish I could take my love turn it to food. I'm just going to take my love give it to you. They said you got to take a path which do you choose? How could a rainbow choose from red and blue? Swallow it all the cliques politics gang life. Move the bricks bring the sticks all the tricks same life. Hit the lics Neighborhood conflicts policies fallacies felonies, I just want you all to see

Our neighborhoods in need, swear they love to see us bleed, our leaders can't even lead, cuz they kill us in the streets. I can't trust this industry cuz it breeds jealousy, can't even trust my own mind I don't know if what I'm seeing is even real. meditation and ganja sit back relax repeating this mantra. todays here today and tomorrow isn't promised. so I'm just shooting for the Stars like I'm riding on a rocket.
