about

The first time I heard this beat the verses started pouring out of me.

lyrics

No recourse
Or recall
Just free fall
It's because, you decide to take that jump without a parachute
And in deep thought, surrender to passions
You had kept so far repressed they're unfamiliar when you look at them
Comprehending this life's too hard to fathom,
Well whatever it is I’m gonna live it
All this love that I have, I’m gonna give it
You felt the pain, now see the gain, and through it all, remain the same
Or at least to an extent, staying a polished intellectual’s not paying the rent
So I, learned your hustle, and I’ll play your game, and through it all
Remember never to change, this fire, burning inside of me
And not let it put out or usurped by this society
Cause that shit is death, when you fight for every breath
Those that see it take advantage; don’t know what it is to help
Well take it all, take it all, I’ve nothing left for you
My shit’s piled in a living room corner, my life is destitute
The woman that gave you life sees you in these lows.
Her sacrifice was bold but what the fuck was it for
You thought you had the essence of an answer; you don’t think that you know
Until in the presence of a dancer, you find it’s to let go


Once in possession of nothing, you appreciate everything, heaven rings
Your song’s so happy even the devil sings
The food you eat, the sleep you get’s the best you’ve had,
You realize, shucks it’s not so bad, or maybe it is
It’s not really for me to know, it’s your life, you wanna reach these heights
Then you need to grow, (remember) you resent this cycle you gotta break it.
You wanna find the meaning of life, you create it
Momma I’m saying sorry, this city has hardened me,
I don’t always love like I could, please pardon me, I came here your boy
Not saying I'm a man but I’ve realized life happens regardless of your plans
Hooked up with Ran Dosis
Told me there was no purpose
So what's the prognosis?
