about

(Another international collaboration, this from a producer from Peru. I really wanted to write and rap a verse that was in the style of like Q-Tip and/or Andre 3000. Both of these artists are capable of busting out these dope long ass rap verses. And so that’s what I did, 32 bars in one take. So that was a little bit of flexing by me on the artistic tip. Content wise, I wanted to rap to the listener. I wanted a song addressed to a “you” and I wanted to offer loving advice to a few special people in my life who I love deeply and thought could really benefit from hearing these truths.)

lyrics

Now what you telling me
That you don’t matter
When you are matter
You are stardust gathered
In immaculate patterns
So the magic you have it
In your childlike eyes
Let em shine and join the dance
Honor the prayers of your ancestors answered
Cuz I believe in you
2 make it beautiful
I see it true in you
But is a mirage
If you don’t see it too
So don’t self sabotage
Self hate isolate
We all make mistakes
So own your shame
Make that change
Then release your pain
Cuz life is a game
Play it for the fun of it
Play it for the love of it
Til we taken away
On the mother ship
So in the meantime
Relax your mind
Unwind be free
We put in a lot of work
Just to get here
So cheers for that progress
Know we aint stoppin
We treat each other tender
When we lose our temper
Remember we can’t dance for another
Make them change or walk their path
Only offer our hand and words of advice
Learned from our life
So i’ll tell you again
I believe in you friend
2 dance and romance
Enchant the path
Of your circumstance
Cuz I see no logic or reason
In us competing or beefin
Just believe in me and i’ll believe in you
And together were surprise ourselves
With all that we do
