“Now this is a creative project:

Prelude”

Growth is accepting truth as it reveals itself
This Aint an LP, Playlist, mixtape or EP
This CP lacks cohesion
It’s a true representation of what was going through my mind through this transition period
Some parts are laughs and others serious, so if you’re curious keep going
During a time of no incentives or inspiration
Just putting this together feels like vindication
Cause there’s hard truths I learnt going back to the grassroots
Back on ground zero and they’re saying you can’t move
But I know make art not content and don’t get too attached
That’s how you get lost in the moment and forget to adapt

I’ve been rapping longer than you’ve been raving save it
I’ve got styles quotables and statements

Rest assured I’ve pressed on pause
I was downing spirits while my grandma was singing
Ahh bless the Lord
I’ve seen the error of my ways
Lead to terrors and some pain
Every letter on the page
Is a setup for my gains
I’ve got difference of opinions from leaders of our dominion
But you’ve gotta pick your battles that’s a lesson to the brave
Stay safe, who’s sane?
This is my I wasn’t OK whenever I’d tell ‘em I’d been fine
Even when you hit it don’t get focused on your prime
Cause everything we go through’s just a moment in time
But for now man, just thank God that we’re a-
