about

(The first part of the song was written and recorded during a cocaine and sex binge honestly. And it was put together real fast (what can I say, I guess Rick James, or was it Dave Chappelle?, said it best when he said, “Cocaine is a hellava drug.” LOL. I added these two songs together, because to me they represent two sides of an attachment trauma. Two sides of a person's journey through dysfunctional relationship patterns. The second beat explores the undercurrent beneath the funnier funkier first beat. One night I fell asleep and woke up at 3 am and began working on this beat (the second part of the song) and by 5:30 am I had the words and beat completed. By 7 am I had posted a little video to Instagram and when I awoke at 11 am, I had a text from my friend Faelisha Dawn who saw the video and sent me the chorus to the song. Pure magic. Good thing the music came easy, because life was fucking hard.)

lyrics

Shimmy Shimmy Yo
Shimmy Shimmy Ya
I was at my meeting
For sex addicts
When I started scheming
To get me some chicks
Ever since my marriage ended
Been living reckless so hectic
DMT for Breakfast
ODB be the Essence
Texted my Ex said
Lets get freaky with our fetishes
So Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!
I say Yes when I should say no
When I know better
Yet I am a mad rapper
Mad as a hatter
Heading for an early death bed
I don’t care no more
It don’t matter
Scanning my friends
At 4 in the morning
Horny for some sex
Like maybe some lady
Can save me because lately
I’ve been making myself crazy….
So Why oh Why Am I such A Nympho
God I gotta stop thinking
With my dick yo (Repeated a bunch of times)

Took me years
To discover this truth
You can change your lover
But until you heal
The pain that is under
We’re just covering wounds
Wondering what we should do
When the honeymoon is through
And we’re not each others glue
when the truth gets told
Few want to grow old
Alone but yo
The older we get
The harder it is to commit
Once disappointment
Is expected
And moments are dissected
Inspected checking for clues
Reasons 2 distance from you
For sanity, safety and lady
Baby you do it too
Today I broke down and cried
Realized where all toxic at times
Wanting a love that’s divine
Devoted to our own lives
So we can’t find compromise
We just pass
Each other bye
Cuz ever knots once tied
In time come undone
Cuz I would lie
If I said me and the ex wife
Don’t have problems in our lives
Problems with the new loves
Problems that rhyme
So it doesn’t matter
Who you are with
When true love
Is acceptance
Then the question becomes
When the depression comes
How deep can we love
And is love
Even enough?
