CHORUS Lord just let me go oh lord just let me go just let me fly fly away far far away VERSE 1 First they say put your hands up dont stand up, you'll get clapped up if you act up, that's the cops talking, you understand cuz?, with the dogs barking, we need answers, it's a cancer, it's a cancer the way we sing our songs and do our dances, it aint fun for me, cuz it aint done for free, i'm growing my own food now, got something to eat, tryna eat clean, gotta stay lean, to do what I need, know what I mean?, but I feel like you can dance if you want, V.I.B.E., dance non-stop, this should make you move, not stand and watch, count to three then knock your top, You should look crazy x2 at least your happy maybe, like life was when you was a baby, see you think love's for free, well not for me, i gotta fight all these demons for you to give it to me, truth is, thank GOD I'm alive and free, I do this for the blood dripping off my family tree...and we will not be the new S.L.A.V.E.'s and we screaming.... CHORUS VERSE 2 Yea I learned what GOD was when I was five years old, when I saw the kid with the freshest clothes lie to women and call 'em hoes, with a talent that never grows, there's gotta be more to the movement, fund a new language they call it 'Music.' So I saved up and got my tools, cooked up the bap they said "Where the 'boom' at!?," So I put it right there, kept a fresh pair of headphones in my ear, taking care of mind, gotta keep it clear, sayin every year gone be my year... It never happened,, learned about mixing and mastering, learned it on my own, cuz OG's would hassle... What you do is what you get, please oh lord dont let em forget, Cuz when we out here gettin it, ain't no turning back, im hip so when you see me low, keep me high by letting me know, that you're gonna teach the kids, to touch the sky and always grow, Oh it ain't easy, trust me, i feel the pain in the streets, so as the story goes, if you landed down on each knee, just make sure up is all you see. CHORUS END

about

Yet another EP by yours truly.
This is more of a step inside my mind as I matured throughout the year of 2016. Almost all of the songs were recorded at various times so notice a very delicate change throughout.
