never had a choice, this feeling should be rejoiced cept’ in the corner on the floor forgettin i had a voice never thought i could see the beauty in somethin that my hands create never thought i’d see some people go but i guess it’s too late never question shit that’s how you always go about your day you a yes man and yes man i’m sittin just above 5’10 no friends no ends no job, dropped outta school just to prove you could make this your job dreams big enough to overpower a storm cloud so loud in my head watching jus watchin the crowd go wild ima excel quick, work on makin your instrumental better you do nothin but just chillin without the netflix look how time pass us by gotta chill speedin thru this too quick … chillin w/ no netflix .. shit be too quick humble myself thru the takin of times (leisurely) away from all the other shit only state is now i claim it i shine i built it from the ground up, never no funny stuff in the mix 
cuz im built for it never no funny stuff in the mix cause i was built for it ,hah never no funny stuff really built for it .. no i can’t lie it’s all funny, shit can’t be normal ‘less the time is dedicated to my craft exhale smoke and i pass (facts) nostalgic time, like 
way before the air fryer had to ride this life shit like some waves never have a worry if you always lost in a daze when we need a re up just ((know)), 
 it’s no delay never have a worry when i’m always in a daze when we need a re up just know it’s no delay i had to throw the shade i regret it but it just had to be that way see? 
 nothing truly ever gonna be in the way (nope) say what you gotta say just get it off your chest before the stress getchu the depressed way mind gone astray had to take the time just to be okay, mind gone astray
had to take the time to just be okay never have a worry cuz i’m always in a daze see days pass like cars in and out of the lanes no time to waste and no time is a waste 
 days pass like the cars in and out of lanes
 never have a worry there’s no time to waste and no time is a waste

shit ain’t easy as it look just as easy as it comes see you gaslight your therapist i’m just chillin in the sun plus one, me and my baby weed crumbs up on the keyboard had to cook up sumn all just to keep from being bored greaseball in this shit had to stay dedicated to what my mind was on astrology fucked up when i’m outta weed my mind is gone stay with the shit just like salad and the croutons never a day off and never a day on do it for the peace do it just cuz you love makin beats nervous drivin when i see police addictive mind set like; i need this shit right now every time we in the stu you know i had to put the phone down and on a regular day basis can’t stay complacent with the fake shit lookin in the dictionary makin sure it make sense shout out to my dad i never paid rent he taught me half i know about music n the influence shit ain’t easy as it look, just as easy as it comes see you gaslight your therapist i’m just chillin in the sun plus one, me and my baby weed crumbs up on the keyboard had to cook up sumn all just to keep from being bored just like tyler need my albuterol when i’m on stage they told me stop playin but this game i’m commited to every song i make i swear be sounding like some interludes could never could waste my time at an educational institute but here it go one way trip down another rocky road had to switch the mode up no patience for myself i could no longer slow up go nuts, just for the fact i need this like shit just like homer need his donuts subtleties add up to make a whole plate oh i’m late? you really thought i’d be on time today? no way this shit had to marinate
but i’m not talkin old bay out of tune bass plus i had some shit to relay fuck it have some cake your birthday is everyday even when they tried to tell you all dreams are fake i never felt safe until i met you always a safe space until i met you, eternal safe space pure love and grace nothin could replace go about the day with ease every second we relate you’re my other half with you i’m always on the right path run thru a meadow comin home realize how quick the time pass when we’re together cause every moment is like a dream every moment with you is all i need i didn’t beg and plead me and you are both in the same book we both readin’ no matter the season we in it til we end no matter the season we in it til we end together no matter the season we in it til we end

my entire career in words is a double entendre, stay smokin n repeatin the mantras got a lot to conquer had to get shit crackin, even if i only make a fraction had to whip this shit up like some meatballs in the pasta im just tryna strive and prosper some kinda sick society we livin in’ that’s why from the fuck shit, i had to keep distancin’ (facts) feel like a piece of shit mockin important mail from the government nothin could be automated cept’ the effects got the vision? first step, realize it gonna be nothin like you picturin’ it never been one thing or the other but, that’s the beauty of it, i don’t know what ima say before i say it, life is like a movie but i’m just mesmerized by the game when i play it, followed up by a long week not enough hours in a day and i can’t sleep the bpm fucked up on my heart beat, from the smallest things, outside of my comfort zone to put it plainly, the song itself is the growth to put it plainly the song itself is the growth, to put it plainly within the song itself is the growth tryna make sense of it all will only lead to your downfall trust me i made it out the rust dawg, you caught up in the smog, i’m just on my job no loggin off thought it was snowin but it was just pourin, i rock the ralph lauren over the ralph lauren broke but im just tryna get some hagen daz queue the applause been at this shit practically on my knees beggin myself for more, the way i been at this shit practically, on my knees just like begging for more (word) only if i make a fraction, i did what made me happy, nothin else could provide me this satisfaction, mix the sativa with the coffee that’s a wicked combo used to stay rollin dolo, i hope my songs get released before i end up in coma love when it snow outside, never catch me drinkin soda hope my songs get released fore’ i end up in a coma loner, never catch me drinkin soda, h20 in my veins (water) love when it snow and i love when it rain no one’s to blame cept’ yourself for all the damage you claim, someone else did, i didn’t see it but i felt it digging in my mind for bars, tryna catch it like a shooting star but not wish upon one anything you did could very well just be undone i’m not even on one anything you did could very well just be undone, (tryna) tryna catch it like a shooting star but not wish upon one

Could Never 03:04
i could never sell myself to be somethin they want me to be i be up all night till three just chillin zonin’ makin beats in another world tune into the frequency i could never be nothin like what they see in me never should’ve let you off the leash sheesh had to free my mind from the shit it was just confined to be don’t mind me just plungin through the sea of my mind through rhymes,
hold onto the music make sure that it’s timeless nonsense all i hear from you but i digress watchin the news every day will leave you mindless and blinded if you fuck with somethin, make sure you got your people to back that i’m ready to count stacks never worried bout a nasdaq i could never sell myself to be somethin that they want me to be i be up all night till three just chillin zonin’ and makin beats i’m in another world tune into the frequencies i could never be nothin like what they what they see in me you ain’t really smokin til you stir the ash and pack it back down kickin it in the background but i’m back now lay low focus on yourself is what i tell myself guess that’s why they call it underground haven’t seen me but just know i’m around my ears bleed for this shit after the sesh i’m hearin frequencies that ain’t there got me kinda scared studio feel like a lair or a portal to an alternate universe you never had the courage to believe was there never sell myself to be anythin that they want me to be i be up all night past three just chillin zonin’ stackin beats, from another world couldn’t guess the frequencies i could never be nothin close to what they see in me ain’t nothin sweet it’s my time to lock in and throw away the key take a deep breath in and release for the same amount of time i spent grindin’ was rewindin’ half the moments from my life while smokin and reclinin’ wouldn’t wanna be anywhere except where i am right now, very much used to the fact some thoughts still can be foul but this is real life i couldn’t question shit just had to jot it down get that bud to breakin down every thing’ll be just fine you’ll go get yours and i’ll get mine that is only what is comin remember losin 120 pounds just by runnin now i’m gunnin on tracks shoutout to you if you listenin to this either on or gone off the wax fat dabs to the head had me coughin like i lost a lung or sumn ever since a young one i been on the drums bada-pada-pum-pum ever since a young one been on the drums like bada-pum-pum i could never sell myself to be somethin that they want me to be i be up all night past three just chillin zonin’ makin beats in another world couldn’t guess the frequencies i could never be nothin like what they see in me

about

the name speaks for itself. i still didn’t want to throw these away completely because i’m still proud of these as they were the first raps i ever recorded. plus the whole blood+sweat+tears i put in this shit.
moral of this short story is, if you’re just starting off on the mic, check on your gain input levels if you record music with an audio interface.
it didn’t end up being a bad thing necessarily, I believe in preserving everything I capture when recording, that’s WHY I started doing this in the first place and I think of this EP as a direct reflection of that.
shoutout to myself for every second i put into this shit.
and shout out to deacon on the guitar on track three.
completely recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by myself.
If you made it this far, you real.
so much more shit in the works to come.
eternal peace. eternal love.
