I've been trying to find myself Has anybody seen me Cause I've been looking everywhere I'm nowhere to be found Has anybody seen me If you see me Tell him come home And I'll hold it down I hit my bro on the phone like bruh let's get it Let's step out like they haven't seen us in a minute Speaking of minutes let them know it's our time I'm an artist only right I put it all on the line man Don't give advice about nothing if you ain't did it I've seen money make the best intentions turn wicked But it's not about how you start it's how you finish Lucky me I keep a flow I already feel replenished ha Swear this music is my fountain of youth Piling question over question That's my mountain of truth And I will climb to the top of that bitch like Mount Everest Or Appalachian Love's my map and destination Taught patience But you can't accomplish nothing waiting Working on a buzz like I suck at operation Moving tracks through the city like the Marta station Trying to make a life connection Like your girl is ovulating I tend to hear man you ain't blew up yet It just wasn't my time I guess Your rapper friend is probably nice at best I turn a booth into a shrine I bless Find inner peace with every line I stretch Yogi flow, yogi flow I must be off the goose All my ducks are in a row Waiting at my show A couple minutes until I go Let me say a prayer Cause I know I'm about to bear my soul like I've got a lot on my mind Lend me your ear please Let me speak my peace My peace See it ain't easy No Believe me But I'm winning anyway I'm winning anyway Snapped out of it like bro I'm ready Let's kill these niggas And pray for God to heal them It's funny when a man's untouchable You got to feel him If beauty's seen from the inside You're not appealing That ain't all that you're concealing Maybe I'm just in my feelings Use a vice to numb it Spending out of my budget Reach a height then plummet But can't nobody tell You act so nice in public Feeding off this Ain't much more that I can stomach The media feeds the idiocy Because they got to get the story out immediately So you're either uninformed or your misinformed A lot of smoke and mirrors Don't need a magician for them Found myself bluer than a post with a pound So I think it's time to log off Put the phone down Because I need some peace and quiet right now I need some peace and quiet right Life moves fast That's why you got to slow it down Let me see you put your hands in the sky right now And reach for something better Until it all falls down Cause nothing last forever Nothing last forever

I done fell on hard times I might not make it I've hit rock bottom dog I can't even fake it Only option to borrow Can't drown in my sorrow and get white boy wasted Not enough to waste it Revenge is sweet but I'm numb I can't taste it Funds on the run and I can't even chase it Trying to do well with too far to go My Bank of America is bombing with no terrorist No surprise if I end up in somebody court The way I'm dodging bill collectors like it was for sport Put it all on credit knowing that I can't afford To pay it back quickly I'm sure they're probably sick of me My wife has taste If I could I'd buy her Tiffany's Instead I got her covering our meal and the tip for me If it got bad enough I know she'd hit a lick with me I got to change something or I'm sure that we'll be history So here I'm coming humble as I've ever been Dollar from dead broke and hear you got the medicine You can save my life using nothing but an app And I promise that I'll pay you right back Can you hit me on my cash app Can I borrow fifty dollars I promise to give it right back I got a check on the way Can you hit me on my cash app I've fallen on hard times but promise to get it right back Soon as I get paid So All you care about is a dollar bill That's how you feel Some butterfly doors in between your spinning wheels A thousand ones you can throw at clubs for the thrills While people like me are struggling to pay our bills Oh you got some drug money you can actually blow You don't want it to save you just want it show Are you actually a slave if all of your chains glow Thats something to consider dog but I don't know I ain't had it like that in a while Maybe never Can't make it rain barely got clothes for the weather But that rain is coming s.w.v Owe interest on my debt so it's double the fee Voicemail full of bill collectors coming for me Money talks I don't even got a reason to speak So my phone stays on silent Pumping gas counting all the mileage Shit There's gotta be a life for me better than this Like a crib with a dog and a white picket fence The homies told me start making investments But I don't got the dollars So it don't make sense So here I'm coming to you humble as I've ever been Dollar from dead broke and know you got the medicine You can save my life using nothing but an app And I promise that I'll pay you right back Can you hit me on my cash app Can I borrow fifty dollars I promise to give it right back I got a check on the way Can you hit me on my cash app I've fallen on hard times but promise to get it right back Soon as I get paid

I follow the signs yeah It's there all the time To find peace of mind yeah Then the world can be mine I'm one of a kind No shame but sometimes I have to remind myself Have to lose just to find myself Can't dumb it down cause I think a lot Problems wish I didn't have to think about The mind of an artist that's introspective The good and the bad think it's all connected The signs are there you just gotta see them Picture clear as in a mausoleum See myself in my parents I came from And never forget where I came from I could have been stuck in the streets Instead I get to flex over beats Book something and fill up the seats Hope this microphone don't over heat Yeah I could sell wool to some sheep Yeah I could sell cool to the heat Yeah I don't need no one but me Nah I don't need no one but me Ok that's a lie I need my girl and my guys Irony every misfortune that I had in my life Turned out a blessing in disguise Yeah Didn't have everything growing up But can't say that I was deprived Life is a wild journey Prayed and God heard me And he told me to follow the signs Follow me Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah This ain't a This ain't a This ain't a test Don't waste my time I invest If you bring it bring your best If not you better bring a vest Mom and Dad broke up when I was eleven A part of me died when grandpa went to heaven This caused so much pain could lived on excedrin But something got planted without no detection Mom knew I'd need some protection So started to hang with big cuz Lance & Devin They both encouraged me to use my aggression And put it in song now my word is my weapon If I'm honest and I do some reflecting I see my biggest pain was my biggest blessing I found God and my passion I'm best in This life gives you signs when you need the direction Just follow Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah

about

I've spent the last year and a half using music as a tool for promoting the importance of mental health, self care and local unification.

Now with this blend of live music, remixes from the original album, and unreleased tracks I'm reigniting this same notion with new dynamics on this latest project release "Everything Will Be Alright: The B-Sides".
