about

Recorded this back early 2018.

Egan & I have been playing shows together for almost three years now since I moved to Akron. He's been in a lot of bands but has been trying to focus on his solo career so we've been writing/recording for his projects for a while now. He's ready to put some stuff out & this is out of that batch we did together.

I was really lonely when I moved to Akron (still kinda am) & I think this verse was outta the isolation that comes with trying to excel or be great.

lyrics

I'm being too hard on myself
I never could ask for your help
Now that I been focused on self
It's like everyone's asking for help

I'm settled in but I never did settle
They sippin on tea & I refill the kettle
Just let em talk, that's all they gon do
Get an ear full
If you aint tryna elevate the culture what you here for?
Actin Ludacris, that's a move bitch
If you aint in it for the movement
Kats aint sold 100 records but they talkin like they makin a homicide
These gray skies got me feelin alone
These gray skies uh

I paid dues, I paid tithes
You played tough and you played God
Told me to think on the safe side
I was doin 90 up on 85
I'm loyal to progress
Tryna open the hydrants
I trust the process I am Joel Embiid
I just gotta prove it when I'm back on my feet
Are they jealous of me
Or they realize it's something they never could be
Dirty shoes on my feet
But I just made a thousand 11 to 3
You're missing the point

I'm being too hard on myself
I never could ask for your help
Now that I been focused on self
It's like everyone's asking for help
