about

Somewhere along the line I’ve lost the joy I once had as a child. Thinking about this I wrote about where I’m at now, and how I can get back some of that ‘glass half full’ mentality I once had. References to my favorite films, music, books, and my Uncle Ramon (RIP) are scattered throughout the record. An attempt can be made to reach for the things that bring happiness, despite any hardships we face in our daily life.

lyrics

Verse 1:

Making white russians The Dude style
Threw out a stack of rhymes wrote a new pile
Started waking up the second year of the two thous
Since 01 I've grown son show shogun spitting rotund
As rolled blunts by packmanghost
I stay breakin, breakin open the head when I hit the scene
This dope attaches to your mind like a tryptamine
Passed time's Lysergic acid diethylamide over apple pie
The live action scenes melt over Nujabes Battle Cry
The frodian sword swinging dart throwing Mugen
That turned the cable off then bodyslide to a new tense
Days of future past
Ways to boost the cash
Flame the booth to ash
Gamer that play no games if she down to...
Conversate and build
See beyond abstraction and relate real
Mostly raw no judgements if you take a pill
The scenes can shake ya will
My blood aint still so my fate aint sealed

Verse 2:

Bringing guillotines The Coup style
Tossed the old vomitspit and wrote the new bile
Sound crafted by alien ear beat by chitauri
Raising volume til you shake like Uncle Ramon's paulsey
Pain leaving the body the excercise don't exhaust me
Connection and development, Garvey and Walter Rodney
I'm bout the process of reclaiming my exuberance
A mutant with adamantium claws carving through a fence
90s intro
Came up on 16 bit pixels
And DMX cassettes
Used ascesis to be official
Still no half steppin regardless what cloud you on tho
I strike against idolatry like Tsuda Sanzo
Katana out the scabbard
Shattered dreams of gathered batter no cake in scattered strata
Ratatas supply your data
Despite the environments that make us act grimy
Show love sublimely we all brothers like the Isleys
