about

(This beat was sent to me by homie from Uganda, Analytical Alz. To me, it has that Jay Z in 2002 feel. And I knew I wanted to come strong and assured, on my grown man shit. That empowered embodied positive masculine feel. This is about going through hell but not becoming sad or bitter, but rather grateful and still able to feel good. The joy of resiliency. The grit. My favorite Vibe. I then workshopped this song with an amazing group of live musicians at FreshPac studios and got the legendary Eugene MC Marv Ellis to do an awesome guest verse!)

lyrics

I feel good
Like I’m falling in love
Hanging with my son
Riding skateboard
To the basketball court
Gotta little cash in my pocket
The beat is rocking
And when I apply the optics
To my life I got options
Came a long way
From living in the trailer park
Getting robbed
Running from the law
Searching for jobs
Spent years on depression
Now I master my fear
Stay true to my essence
The city is my playground
Respected by all now
From gangsters to the mayor
I’m on my grown man shit
Handling my taxes
No more moving backwards
I’m living my passion
To the maximum going savage
Cuz I done lost it all
Except what matters
And it ain’t about status
But if it was I’d be the baddest
Cuz I failed more times
Then you fools even tried
And I still find success
And I feel like sex
Been tested by tragedy
Found my inner strength
And met my soul family
I’ve suffered too many catastrophes
Not to be happy
With who I am
A flawed human
Doing the best that they can
And I’m still improving
I’ve saved lives
Watch people die
And sometimes
I just want to die
Realize y’all going to love me more
After I’m gone
But until that time
I’m gone shine!
