You blew in on that summer breeze and it took all of me, to keep from falling down. You're a melody that sings so sweet. This ain't no day dream, you're standing right in front of me. They say all good things, come to those who wait. They say that love will always find a way. And here we are, standing face to face. Fingers locked and laced, saying... (it goes)this moment aint postponed actually it's appropo its pertinent, we percolate and let it brew slow whats funny, is the fact i use to rush this all before mis-un-der-stood what the growth was for now its time to sitback witness whats in store cause I wont be found waiting illbe building my foundation for patience, cultivated underrated art form glidin through the petty in one ear and out the car door couldnt catch the culprit? thats what the alarms for birds eye view, have it nothing less than condor, with rough seas we sail, a gale force storm still we set up on this course with these tides we own this shore sprinting for the apex free running like its parkour bogeys in the bunch, time to eagle on this par four me and you, round the bends, even if it leads to mar’s doors knowing in the fact that leads to the breeding and the meaning of.... our core ever since this lad was young following the beat of his father’s drum singingsteadilytothekey they strum and nownownow I am easin up she the reason every breeze im breathin be freedom timin is everything in times of uncertainty this pressure like a tourniquet while waiting on eternity but certainly i learned today when i heard her say actions imply what my words could never say so i hope you place your burden right upon my shoulder blades

they feed into the notion were at war with ourselves a product slanged, self on sale, sitting on these shelves they picked em well, let em stale, now trippin over wealth it’s culture of consumerism, capturing these capitalists i punctuate my mood and now im turning to a catalyst web surfin overdrive learning as an analyst rooted in this grass we act upon the action quick anecdotes and activists rope a dope the passionless no docey do til the action fixed or vicious patterns power tripped and placed back!.... in palms of the people once powerless highlight the high life living what matters is pushinalegacy left to be made, living with no asterisk for bleeding hearts and passionates we manifest magnanimous potential to engage so i extract it quick no matter if these battles strip and attempt to make me unravel quick seein i am blessed, so it’s a must that i must add to this dustin off myself and hoppin back cause this saddle fit this life is my craft, i cant quit til i master it ill never truly reach all i wish to attain but what i have to lose dont amount to what i gain realize the truth, with myself im not at war realizin im fighting for my beliefs to the core

You talk soooome reeeealness contrary to popular belief how hot would a opera be complete w/ a bounty of trees and a couple of swishers they're offering me could be nirvana to thee yet whats important to me to be acting and thinking on the brink of a scholar you see freein up them positive vibe the ones that karma release a one man revolution movin an armada of me way passed cool lemme bring that heat indoor rockin that parka steez food for your soul call it collard green and if you cant see it lemme paint the scene we disparate youth but we disengaged and they put through hoops so it dissaray so the dismay leads to disdain misunderstood so its disgrace but in this day we be leaping for the zenith seeking this seamstress who leaves us speechless all in agreeance all in allegiance she the one to speak santigold reach em!

about

(If you click on each individual track, they each have a blurb about them)
Here's a smattering and a sample of the music I dig. I felt compelled to write over these tracks, as they naturally evoked specific moods and emotions out of me. It was a huge grind for sure, but most def worth it! I've been freestyling and writing for a good while now, and have always procrastinated on putting out something, either afraid of the reception, or just lacking the correct concentrated focus. But making this, has definitely got me into this mindset to continue to produce. I apologize for the audio on some of the tracks, as I have only rudimentary recording and audio skills, but just enough to record! I wanted to make sure on these tracks, I did me, and nothing but me. But I also wanted to dig deep, and show some sides of me people might not know of. I wanted to be certain that if someone came up to me and said, "I think you are one of the most garbage fools I've ever heard" that I could be absolutely and honestly ok with that, and be thankful that they listened to it. I'd like to think I've kept with that, hopefully. Also, I've done a little blurb for each track, and included the lyrics if you're interested. If you taken the time to read here, remind me to give you a hug when I see you, cause just reading to this far means a lot. But anyways, enjoy listening and please by all means, send feedback my way, and help me improve! I can't wait to be onto the next one. And if you in anyway wanna work on something, or collabo, I'm always down! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeace!
