about

A look back at what it took to make this album a reality. From the various inspiration I received, to the mindframe I was in during the slow brew creation of this project. I am eternally grateful, and that gratitude will always push me to continue.

lyrics

I find amazement in making a new arrangement
The moment when you sort it in order to make a statement
I went through stages and waded in a waves of mazes
So now I'd like to pay you a "Thank you for those who made it."
And for your patience especially to those
That I've known since my DC and Seattle shows
Since Lyrical Manifest had a song
Since this hip-hop soulja was fresh on the battlezone
And it took a lot longer than I wanted, I admit it
But perfection is the test on a lesson you're never getting
And this is far from perfect but it's all that I had to work with
Plus this is my debut im just scratching the dirt surface
And yea, it makes me nervous this new urge to take it further
The future is just a blur I'm not too sure it's all uncertain
The universe ain't permanent term isn't very long
So for the duration that you're in it you're gonna carry on

Carry on
Carry on and on and on and on
Carry on so carry on

This aint "Goodbye." this is "Until next time."
And 'til we meet again I'll be writing my best lines
Swinging around a pen to compile my text fine
So when I see you then I can provide with fresh rhymes
I wanna be the rapper that rivals the ones I idolize
And by the Nine I'd die to try doing it my entire life
Until I code and they run in to read my vital signs
But can't supply [me] with life so my death certificate's finalize
And even after gather a piece of masters
Humbly leaving that for some for the grieving bastards
I hope you grasp the image I've given that should
Actually help you capture meaning in every chapter
'Cause tell me y'all what does it matter where we are
When life is meaningless even this every area
And with no guarantees everything can be scary, huh?
But in the long run we gone carry on

It's been a long day since I first got started
And started to understand the plight of the starving artist
I think what's oddest about it is how we all get
A market we all belong in for audiences we target
And so we all just evolve as we move along with
Options we all had opted for often until we got them
And once we saw that it's promising if we're on it
We wanted to not get off it 'til all of it got accomplished
Yea, it's the same ol' song, dance, and all
I'm at it like an addict who combats withdraw
By rattling in his cabinet for tall stacks and saw
A bag of his patterned tabs that on contact dissolve
So I'll continue my aiming and hold it steady
Not letting up yet I'm ready already and there we are
An open pasture of chapters that we can master
'Cause after this very song I promise to carry on
