I've always wanted to release music on my birthday and letting this one out into the world feels special. As of 2023, I've been an active independent artist for five years. Despite the temporary setbacks of the pandemic, I found renewed purpose, energy, and direction in doing what I love in the best way possible. Thank you to Max Vista & Manny for helping me with the song and video execution. I know I can be spontaneous but going with the flow always give us the best result. Thank you to everyone that made it this far and has contributed to the release through a purchase/download of audio or share/viewing of the video. Every bit is appreciated.
lyrics
Silly me, silly me to worry all the possibilities
Thinkin lately all this over thinking
Really only benefitting all my enemies
What can be, what can be if all I focus is the industry
I don’t wanna echo my vicinity
Fake it til I make it when I shouldn’t be
C’est la vie, c’est la vie I live it how I wanna be
If you didn’t know, want a key? Here’s a key
If you never water what you seed then it won’t grow
Supersede, supersede my wishes over your belief
I gotta get it on my hands and my knees
A large ambition what I’m workin to feed
I loved giving 12 hours everyday just to get it
Now it’s 24 & man I’m stickin’ with it
Keep my pace & I ain’t worried bout the finish
I’m invested wholly, givin’ out percentage
Of nothing at all, bookin a flight to Japan in the fall
Hit Toronto in the summer, if you tryna reach me
Might as well not call me at all
Fickle, fickle people in my past days
I forgive but treat it like a last page
Ain’t no use in holdin’ onto pain
Cut my nose off just to spite my damn face
Let ya man play on & on, years later still going strong
Years from the dollar sign to the bong
Years from the rat race to a throne
Know what’s goin on
Here for a long time & a good time
We already great, you should know
Not from around here, from the far side
Been an outcast from the go
I’m off an instinct, like an inkling
Gotta risk it, gotta know by now
Anything goes
Here for a long time & a good time
We already great, you should know
Not from around here, from the far side
Been an outcast from the go
I’m off an instinct, like an inkling
Gotta risk it, gotta know by now
Anything goes
