lyrics

This that feeling when you get up out the struggle
Overcome your fears to focus on your hustle
Got heavy responsibilities that I juggle
But I'm still going to be the man I want to be and double
Some people looking for a dream they could smuggle
They try to make me flinch but I didn't move a muscle
This my higher self speaking, without the muzzle
The positive seeds started sprouting like some Brussels
Looking within is confiding and it's trustful
I know my true power, you don't wanna meet the knuckles
Got love for my people, keep 'em out of trouble
They stay strapped for protection like seatbelt buckles
Many changes that I need to readjust to
Had to play my cards right couldn't ask to re-shuffle
Uh-oh the truth is less subtle
Don't get close or it might burst your bubble

This album is the one. I've kept coming back to it since it dropped. When all is said this will be considered one of the best albums of the 2020s decade. Heard it here first! clayton

is his style similar to earl? yeah for sure. But that's disrespectful to MIKE's production and bars that go even darker and more experimental than earl in a way that is entirely his own. dath2002
