about

(This song was originally written and recorded 3 years ago. For a group project called, “Altered States of Consciousness” that never materialized. Unfortunately, this was one of the songs “lost” when my hard drive died in Costa Rica. I always loved that hook though! I felt like the hook is a hit for a certain type of person, the wild festie going street youth I like to work with. Ob, who I met as a street youth was one of the MC’s from Altered States of Consciousness and he’s really like a little brother, so of course I had to get him back on this new version. And I got a super dope verse from Def Devyne, who is such an interesting cat, super positive and wise, but elusive and mysterious. I sent him the song, but he never responded. So I sent the song to another MC, who began working on his verse for the song. Then one day, out of nowhere, probably three months after I sent him the beat, Def Devyne emailed me his amazing verse. So I sent him a thank you message. Again no response...lol.)

lyrics

I gotta change my story
If it keeps me from glory
I got too much to lose
To be addicted to the bad news
Which way to go I don’t know
I’m so confused
I thought I moved past
My past issues
I guess I just spiraled back
Into a greater truth
So reality’s my clue
To heal my souls blues
OCD ADD PTSD
I got an alphabet soup
I was given to consume
But that’s no excuse
To give out any abuse
If I made poor choices
can’t wallow in my gloom
It is what it is I gotta do what I can do
I’ll say I’m sorry to you
Take 2 steps forward than 1 step backwards
Towards my goals i move
Into something new
Slow it down
breathe through the ground and chose
Another destiny and Identity improved
They say the only way out of hell
Is to move through it
So what else can we do then
But dance to the music
