about

I wrote this song in a fit of frustration because life was just doing everything. Every lick of hell there was to raise was being risen and I just had to hold that. I'm not the best at expressing myself, but I felt trapped with no foreseeable way out, so I dug into the music. I had made this beat and I felt like it was the perfect space to just let loose in.

I decided to drop it as the first song of 2023 because 2022 just sucked. 2023 is going to be nothing like it, so I wanted to give the finger and wave to that terrible year, as I look forward and further align myself with tranquility and the universal groove.

lyrics

I wanna fly
And till I get it you'll hear my dismay
glimmer in coach got my bags in the bay
Self medicate and get back to the wealth
Landing a trick for the Foley and then I kept rolling
Man, this is just life in a shell
I come in stacking up reasons that I never fail
Trust me I handle the stress
Deep in this beautiful neighborhood belt
Lonely invader with green in my deck
I lay this trap then I pay my respects
I been the captain, but paying on taxes
While money is lapsing is beating my brakes
I never stop
But if it’s Saturday, I’m in a box
I’ve been distracting and flipping the wok
Waiting for articles saying I suck
But I get off the internet
You can’t expect when you’ll see me next
Wearing the lens of an introvert
Shiny hunting for my Pokédex
Everybody wants to be a supreme
Common leader with a hairline receding
Draw your sword I seen a figure retreating
Ball of energy, you better believe it
Pocket of seeds, you pulling the weeds and leaving it

Here for a new twist
Pull up outside in the bucket
Lay on your carpet I’m out quick
South side of Ohio is everything
There’s no one to question it
Ignoring a call while I look at it
Going back to my studies, superfluous
Feeling aggy I've been here enough
Play with my heart and I’m chewing you up
I start my day with a thought and a prayer
No response back, but a like and dip
Origin story that got me this lair
Watch on my wrist don’t be telling me shiii
Deep in the crowd i be checking it though
Black boy still in a league of own
Just look at him
Ignore the faces and heading outside
Go to no picnics but if it’s a barbecue
Call up my love and then maybe I’ll slide
On the horizon, I get what I want
burying treasure by seventy-five
Don’t have the slightest clue what I’ve been doing
Here’s hoping that one day I’ll figure this out
