[Verse: Will Cherry] I wrote this in a cab I told 'em this would happen and they looked at me and laughed I just got to Brooklyn, coming off of Flushing Ave Can’t be focused on the past when I'm tryna make it last Everything I wanted, I can see it through the glass Everything I wanted versus everything I have Everything I'm not made me everything I am Everything is everything but I do everything they can’t I'm on go mode Every single word cut through like I'm zorro Never one for chasing the trends A lot of people play the game but they playing pretend The major difference is that I'm the one that’s playing to win Every time I play a song they make me play it again Hit LA and it was mad love Scrape the sky and see the things I have a chance of I'll accomplish anything I get my hands on So get in touch with me [Hook: Will Cherry] Yeah Are you gone ride with me? If it all falls down will you slide for me? Yeah Are you gone ride with me? If it all falls down will you slide for me? Yeah If it all falls down will you slide for me? [Verse: Will Cherry] I been playing hide and seek with the time zones I feel like a genius, my mind gone But I'm stuck on the mission I was given, ain’t no time for a break We been hungry for too long, but I never mistake I snap and I pop, Cherry been back on the job Tell 'em relax cause I got it, I never slack, I'm a prophet Know they been back to the talking, on my back is a target But I practice with dodging I'm too focused to ever act as if that was alarming I think the music is my only hope Prolly wouldn’t need to write if I could only cope A lot of people claim they got fire But every time I come around, I realize it was only smoke All the things I ever learned really stayed with me All my niggas in the field like it’s slavery I know my part before I shoot like it’s a table read This ain’t who I was, it's who I was made to be Seeing through you every time, I think you’re ultraviolet The rays shine through, you gotta close your eyes I tried to throw a rope tonight so I could find you Met in the middle of nowhere, so much for compromising

about

i started this album in louisville in 2018 with “monster”. over the last four years, it morphed into a crazy creation that tells the story of an artist battling with finding his voice and success while also finding real love and trying to balance it all. all while touching a bunch of different genres, moods and tones. this is 30 minutes of pure expression, crafted and curated intentionally.
