about

Donwill: Imagine living in a city you didn't really wanna be in and finding out your dad has cancer. Couple that with growing apart from your friend group due to just growing up and being broke as hell. Well aside from living in a city I don't really wanna be in (no diss at all Cincy, I love y'all. just had to GO) not much has changed but I sincerely wrote this verse and buried it, didn't intend for anybody in the world to hear it. But some of the best moments are found in that space between honesty and sincerity so I decided to include it on the project. and if you were wondering me and the friends mentioned in this song are doing just fine :)

SuhBURB: The deeply personal nature of this verse pushed me to mix it the way I did. Don's laying some heavy shit on the line here and I wanted it to sound like the song had the same kind of weight. I'm trying again to get a sense of distance between the track and the listener, like you're hearing it even though it's not being played for you.

lyrics

VERSE: you dont know what its like dude, when friends dont like you/ and you keep smiling anyway continuing the cycle/ hoping one day some way but one means or another/ the niggas that you tightest with will understand each other/ cus yall cats like brothers, done done it all together/ but you stressed cus yo dad's health is bringin fam togther/ and they leave you to see thru feelings you dont wanna have/ dont even holler at you like yo phone went dead/ and all you got is the pen, god and blood aside/ so you write prayers for dads health and take it all in stride/ but you just aint feelin it, close but so far/ can barely pay rent, kick it and keep gas in yo car/ wish you never came back sometimes/ wish you never was born sometimes/ driven by passion so day jobs they just seem tedious/ can barely get past the mediocre cus its eating ya/ long stretches got you layin low, yo people yo aint seein em/ they think they done with em, nothing you can do to please em/ so yo soothe ya'self and do what moves yo own spirit/ jot a verse like this and wonder if you'll let em hear it/ should i?

REFRAIN: maybe, maybe not ( repeat x 8)
