about

This is one of the later tracks I recorded for the album. I noticed I started getting in a zone, writing and decided that maybe this won't be my final album after all. Fun Fact: My verse actually originated from an unreleased song I recorded several years prior but I felt like it fit this song and this album much better.

lyrics

Verse 1 Mallz:
They used to call my pops Boobie
Wasn’t there for me and it did something to me
Grew up isolated, socializing don’t move me
Outwardly withdrawn from the pack like a loosey
Half my family’s perfect strangers, never really knew me
I’m Larry Appleton with the outrageous roomie
While my peers was at the movies watching Sandlot and Goonies
I was in the bedroom pulling magic out of loose leaf
The more things change, the more they stay constant
Trying to stay sane while slaying all these monsters
Anxiety, depression, all too familiar concepts
Learn to deal with stress through healthier responses
My conscience is telling me to stick to my guns
While my bank note says I’m insufficient with funds
Told myself I’d hang it up when the shit ain’t no fun
Ten years in the game, I feel I’ve only begun. One

Chorus 2x:
It’s just some shit on my mind
Some things that I was thinking in this moment in time
It’s just some shit on my mind
Getting lost in thought, never know just what you will find

Verse 2 Eternal the MC
Going through the mental rolodex of all my years
The trials and tribulations that done got me here
I look into the windows of your soul and it’s clear
You will never reach this level. You don’t live, you live in fear
Time to take it there. The focus and vision
The disdain of living through racism; colonialism
Made me study militant wisdom. Now the game I be kicking
Harold and blue notes. If you don’t know by now, you’ll never get it
Since a youngin, rocking Starter, had some shit to say
Blue chips with the spit. I pen a harder way
That’s why I can’t relate to half of what y’all niggas rapping
My people’s forced to play the game of life on All Madden
I’m a different breed. I use the hate as fossil fuel
Play the game, innovate the game then recreate the rules
Never doubted God even in my hardest times
Now I’m blessed to have in this world whatever’s on my mind
Talk to em

Chorus 2x
