From the album listening party on Bandcamp
Mind is some straight Roy Ayers type shit! It is all about mental health. Anyone going through something is not alone. I am really transparent and introspective on this one in solidarity with all those who can relate.
[Hook]
Binging on vices
Misunderstandings with high prices
Until my flesh lifeless
I’ll wonder what life is
Now my appetite is
I gotta eat until I get the itis
[Verse 1]
Deep in my mind
You might find a jewel
A treasure trove of wisdom
To school a young fool
Experience and pain
The weight of the world
Loneliness isolation
Black holes that swirl
Bipolar undiagnosed how I feel
Everyday I’m overwhelmed
If I’m being real
I don’t understand this anxiety
I don’t feel a part of this society
I’m bad at sobriety
I smile and keep moving
I smoke and keep crying
A part inside of me is really dark
I keep trying to suppress the pessimism
Quiet skepticism
Venting over rhythms
My thoughts is what I give them
But no well wishes for the messenger
Auto pilot like a Tesla for
The past year Etcetera
OG not a replica
Past trauma tethers us
To the next crisis
[Hook] (x2)
Binging on vices
Misunderstandings with high prices
Until my flesh lifeless
I’ll wonder what life is
Now my appetite is
I gotta eat until I get the itis
[Verse 2]
Adversity kicking my ass
Down the stairs
Knees bleeding from prayers
My loved ones unaware
Of what I’m going through
Cause I keep it to my self
Pain bottled up
Is really bad for your health
So I sip the Bumbu
Let go of the Hennessy
I made peace
With all my so called enemies
My energy is on 100,000
I made it outta public housing
Now my life’s astounding
Even when adversity mounting
Like Everest I’m never bouncing
People act devilish
Me, blessings I’m steady counting
Like god is my accountant
Tangible dreams
From a scheme
Sip from youth’s fountain
On opportunities I’m pouncing
Like my Frenchie
So my baby girl
Can be bouncing in a Bentley
Never let the sin tempt me
It drain you empty
Life takes a heavy toll
That ticket higher than the rent be
[Hook] (x2)
Binging on vices
Misunderstandings with high prices
Until my flesh lifeless
I’ll wonder what life is
Now my appetite is
I gotta eat until I get the itis
