rapping makes me sad but these niggas whack as fuck variable as a truck about to hit you on the free way unidimensional flows these niggas walking on the highway my ways better getting slammed with reality 60 somthing , or say nothing you evaporated in blood walking with ur dumbass i got the cdl and the plug shit more gracefull than the fucking landed gentry try to land gently , i carry my team with me some like to ride high like they figured it out some people got eyes maybe not money and clout maybe signs and city lights are the way i arrive but with these people i ride with ima find my way out created with that burning god eat up the heart and steel angry little black boy with the heart ache heart trouble got no problems pressure relieves i take space is a curse word i am bird fly high ima swing low sad is the word hopefully the butter hits before the curds turn to turds i love empty words

hold you down till your hearts racing hard labor summers always blazing the bonds placement regard favors no freedom run like a chicken your heart been gone pacing do it for some peace of mind they do it for some peace of mind all races rhythm of the night its like the bars playing had to watch your back so keep the mac in all these hard places these fruits of your labor they not gonna save your life we strange fruits so if they bang u you not gonna hear a cry hands bloody get it out the mud to fill my damn tummy might go ted bundy for a rack hunting back to feed my family temptation with these tendencies so make a nigga bleed but blame them higher schemes so tell em bout the things weve seen oo its that fire that they tried to blow out i hope you get a taste and see god willing theyll find love assumes a man that isnt out soul with the element indeed somebody told me if i said less and i meant more id make up the difference the aura would protect me the true thing got me nothing equivocation in the verse not gon lie i dont trust was never given a reason every reason i was loved hinted with self interest tsk tsk motherfucker i would have done it all for free but they asking for my fee stop asking for the tea you know damn well they both steep grab a bag full of bad actors with their pockets full of fear fabric tucked deep in the pattern is it passable for child rearing steer me off the cliff eat me with my words if the paranoia got me trippin im flippant and straight shootin clandestine corrupt pudding bless my heart im a stone champion aiming for the dub we eating eating good honey from above bees knees needs are met when we love these fields are full of flowers baked from scratch the sun serves a batch a promise baked from flesh oo its that fire that they tried to blow out i hope you get a taste and see god willing theyll find love assumes a man that isnt out soul with the element indeed

about

this album is about the hope involved in creation/ the stagnation/ the degradation / falling out of and into love with shit (people places and things) that are inevitably inseparable from YOU or your body. This is also about work, that motion/ that movement that makes whatever this cosmic soup we are embroiled in interesting

this is mostly a words record / and ive packed a good deal of my adult brain into this shit / theres some gibberish in there too for people who really think the truth gotta rhyme all the time (bless your heart)

credits

released November 21, 2023

thank you to cooper, jaylen , devin for rocking with the ideas and putting blood in this tape - helly for wanting to make it happen (regardless of how things turned out the push to have this out is on you), aub for the rad book of photos, kyle for the perspective and big homie energy, keith n dakota for forcing me to have this out , on the account theres more shit to do reminding me through the prolific collaboration ive experienced that inspiration does NOT in fact give a shit about release schedules and that sometimes, you need to just take a massive dump in the form of inspired work / my boy riyubiti, the only outside prducer credit for LETTING ME BE A RAP NIGGA on a track so much love for you bro
