about

(My good soul fam brother Kemy Joseph was moving out of Eugene and had a party. At the party was a musical jam in which an awesome freestyled song was created with the hook, “I’m going through some things, so I need to make a change”. Afterwards, Maxwell Davis said to Kemy Joseph and M5 Vibe, 2 mc’s who were part of the Jam,” we should make a song about this!” I was like, “Not without me, my life is going through mad changes!” lol. And so this jam-band-esque hip hop song was created to recapture the vibe of that night. This song featured 8 guest musicians in total who all sent their parts to me separately to recreate a jam feel which was a unique process. One thing I love about working with so many live musicians, is for a song like this, which is anchored to the concept of change, the beat, as opposed to a programmed loop, is constantly evolving and changing.)

lyrics

I just wanna live my best life
I just wanna be my best me
Don’t know why life
Likes to test me
I seek comfort though
Not in control
So I wish you could see
The stretch marks on my soul
From the rocks I’ve had to roll
While polishing my stones
Now all I know
I am the flute
Played through me be the tune
So I like to let it blow
When it’s time to grow
Your never glow unless you go
Into the unknown
So here we go
The motto I live by
Evolve or die
So I move on through detours and dead ends
The darkness and the struggle
Until we see the light at the end of the tunnel
I transform am reborn
As that rainbow from that storm
I move forward I move toward
I get lost I find my way
Now once more
I can feel it coming
My stomach is rumbling
With the hunger for something more
Ya gotta believe me
I know that growth aint always easy
It’s painful it’s beautiful,
It’s ugly
As it must be
And I know I seem crazy
But y’all can trust me
I’m just going through some things
And making my change
