One of the more personal songs on the album, “Keep My Distance” deals with Azure The Paradox’s insecurities and issues regarding self harm and isolation.
The ending of the song features a spoken word piece by executive producer LeyendaRob.
[Chorus: Azure The Paradox]
Back up, gotta get my stacks up
I can't keep track of
(No, I can't keep track of, damn)
Back off, gotta stay distant
I can't tell who real or fake
Keep my distance
[Bridge: Azure The Paradox]
Yeah, my life a movie changing reels
Signing billion dollars deals
I ain't seen a million still
Still popping off a demo
Guess I'm independent here
Got these codependent peers
Who won't make it out of here
[Verse 1: Azure The Paradox]
Highest in the room, check the stat sheet
I broke the record you was setting just last week
I used to handle any favor if you asked me
But you still think that you been speaking to the past me
Yeah, cut you off with no warning
If I didn't throw it up it be a campus I'm haunting
I can't tell you what was going through my mind at that moment
Had to spare you from that pain of giving out a condolence
I wasn't mobile for days, very few people noticed
I went through half of that bottle I guess the feeling was hopeless
Don't know why I survived, like I learned me a lesson
I couldn't plan for a future unless my presence was present
[Chorus: Azure The Paradox]
Back up, gotta get my stacks up
I can't keep track of
(No, I can't keep track of-)
Back off, gotta stay distant
I can't tell if this is fate
Keep my distance
[Bridge: Azure The Paradox]
Yeah, my life a movie changing reels
Signing billion dollars deals
I ain't seen a million still
Still popping off a demo
Guess I'm independent here
Got these codependent peers
Who won't make it out of here
[Verse 2: Azure The Paradox]
Going back on what I said
Told my momma I'd stay sober
But I almost wound up dead
Ever since I been going off my meds
Cuz I'm paranoid that history repeats itself again
Yeah, I could try to find a balance
See I never had addictions just a bunch of bad habits
I drink for heartbreak, and I smoke just for the status
Used to hate me when I'm sober
Now sobriety's a challenge
[Interlude: Azure The Paradox]
Used to hate me when I'm sober, yeah
Hate me when I'm sober
Used to hate me when I'm sober, now
Me too, yeah yeah
I do too, yeah yeah
[Outro: LeyendaRob]
They don't make movies about people who that just
Go on about their everyday lives, like normal people
They make movies about people who are crazy enough to take the risk
For something, that's their passion
Turn their passion into a reality
Where it gets them money, to keep them set
To get their families out of a financial rut
Or whatever situation that their in
And show them bigger and better
If some of our favorite artists
Some of our favorite musicians, producers could do it
We can too
You and I were not meant to stay at the bottom forever
We're not gonna be destined to stay at the bottom forever
We're not gonna be in obscurity forever
Yo, you and I we gotta stay driven, believe me we do
And I feel like were on the right path
And we're gonna keep on following it
That's for sure
Stay on your path, Mike
You know Imma stay on mine, Imma stay on mine of course
But you know
The city is restless
And there's no sleep in suburbia

This was the only song on the album I wanted to come through completely clean. There’s no curse words at all. Because I have a story to tell and the next two songs are extremely personal. It’s a thing that I did that I regret doing now but only one person knows about it. I felt it was time to get it...
