about

This is a bit of a venting session. It touches extreme opposites - love/hate & smile/pain. 'Twas inspired by the idea of needing to clean up your life and clean certain people out of your life, but getting lost in other things and taking a detour.

lyrics

I KNOW

VERSE I
lost in thought, searchin’, fightin’ for a plot
never knowin’ what I’ve got, ‘til it’s hidden in the fog
smogged out, yesir, ain’t nothin’, but smoke
attemptin’ to drown my sorrow in the next round of Coke,
but there’s Crown involved, so I move along
and until the hangover, problems are resolved
then it’s back to square one, pacin’, I can’t run
I’d front, but I’m too real to give a what
so I step to the stage – set this thang a blaze
start a new page – a beast out the cage
GOAT and J-Rabb – the animals of the crew
plus Elle and three6t – get ready for the truth
shoot…haha…that’s just how we do
with Gerald on the keys – bring the jazz and the blues
clues, kids, get your notepads out
without a doubt, we about to rebirth the South

CHORUS
I love you people, but I hate you the same
with a smile on my face, I’m bringin’ the pain
and yall can talk around…and keep hatin’ on me,
but in my heart, I know, I’m free…

POST CHORUS
you can hate all you want on me
gotta move, let your soul go free
don't have time to be playin' games
not fighting for you, fighting for me

VERSE II
I'm so fly, I need a space-suit
you can talk your squawk, I'll bring the pain and erase fools
so peep this dub dude, cause as I make tunes
I've got to thank you for how I love and hate you
I'm not a rapper, this is my nature
I may be your neighbor, but I swing my bird with flavor
only if I'm pushed though, so please don't push those
buttons and keep hatin' for nothin', you'll end up stumblin'
and bein' knocked stupid by Elle's thunderous music and GOAT's fluid
it's so simple how we do this, we free with music
defeatin' beats to death with each breath, so get to movin'
you're on our time now, we ain't wastin' nathan
yall failed us, that's why we kept you waitin'
so pull your paws out your pockets and let's see palms
and sit there and hate, secretly diggin' our songs

CHORUS
I love you people, but I hate you the same
with a smile on my face, I’m bringin’ the pain
and yall can talk around…and keep hatin’ on me,
but in my heart, I know, I’m free…

POST CHORUS
you can hate all you want on me
gotta move, let your soul go free
don't have time to be playin' games
not fighting for you, fighting for me
