about

Self-loathing seems to be a requirement to be an artist. Jokes aside, it's easy to get comfortable in that mind state. Sometimes this makes it hard to grow and change, assuming we don't deserve something better. Self-love is a practice, and I'm learning to love all the fruits of my tree; even the sour ones. Enjoy :)

lyrics

Verse 1]
Yea
Hawley Road to Happy Valley (Happy Valley)
You can hollaback or holla at me (Holla at me)
Be careful, don’t getcha hopes up, baby
Cuttin’ ties all for 10% is lonesome, baby
So I, craft daily to untangle my mind
The only bags I’ve gotten lately
Are right under my eyes
I’ve, challenged these inner demons
And I barely survived
It’s been pushing me to a limit
I can barely describe the
Why, the who what, when the where and the how
Got me grabbin’ my hair ‘til I’m tearing it out
This is driving me crazy
I can’t fucking take it
I’m racing, I’m pacing, I stand and I sit
It’s like the more I second guess it
Then the more that I trip
Some days be thinking this depression
Is as good as it gets
Just, circling through the past
Finding lessons I missed
It’s like you stubborn motherfucker
You were destined for this
But you slip

[Refrain]
You always slip
You always trippin’
And overthinking
Don’t throw it away
Don’t throw it away
No, don’t throw it away
Don’t throw it away

[Chorus]
Everytime I let my guard down
I see it fade to the blackness
Do I deserve this sort of madness?
Thought I meant much more than that
Who am I supposed to call now?
How in the hell do I get past this?
I think I gave into my sadness
Can someone save me from myself?
From myself, yea

[Verse 2]
Yea
Always trippin’ when I fall down (Fall down)
Dealing with enough to hang it all out (Hang it all out)
This identity that I’m wrapped in
When I make it
Were you fuckin’ with me back then?
All the lies that have always rang true
Would you rise to levels we could levitate to?
With those days in the past that we all relate to
How come the kids with no upper hand
Always break through?
And so I’m all in
I really had to get to work and so I called in
I couldn’t tell you if it’s worth all of the falling
If you ain’t lookin’ for some trouble
Why’d you call then?
Huh? Huh? Huh?
That 4th quarter when I’m airing it out
Yea I’m that bad ass kid
Yo momma warned you about
I was born as a sinner
Got a sword as a mouth
I still believe inside my heart
We could’ve sorted this out
But I slip

[Chorus]
