First joint off the upcoming Ep, Higher, produced by Poland's Dar-O. The inspiration behind this song is community. Moving through transitions and feeling like you are making it to the other side.
lyrics
There was time when the stress, was a test for me,
Didn’t want to leave the house, felt like the death was beating,
On my doors in my mentals, couldn’t shake the cloud,
Singles turn to compound, felt surrounded by doubt,
All the work, the pressure, just to walk them streets,
Couldn’t see three feet, without the heat on my feet,
Paranoid, like the void, had me missing some steps,
Day by day, path blurry got to find another way,
Had a vision, a warning, time make that move,
Pack them boxes, now we here trying to build a life brand new,
On the block with the people, just a crack in the door,
Saw them tables, made friends, now we rocking the floor,
Had me down, but dug in, then I spread my wings,
Keep it close, open up, had to jump in the ring,
Look around after pushing, made it over the hump,
Took some lumps, but Took some lumps, like the first of the month…
And when you look, you may find,
A need fly higher…
And you may want to close your eyes,
But you should fly higher…
Many roads, full of surprise,
You need to fly higher…
Wherever you go, just live your life
And flyer higher… (2x)
Yes, this is M to the A to the C to the on and on…
And when you look, you may find,
A need fly higher…
And you may want to close your eyes,
But you should fly higher…
Many roads, full of surprise,
You need to fly higher…
Wherever you go, just live your life
And flyer higher… (2x)
