#lofi #casiocore #hiphop #rnb

i'm bad at genre-ing...thanks so much Q for doin another one with me...i decided to sing the hook with you even tho i sing like a bad person...Really loving our album that's in the works...i mean, we might as well, right? love and respect.

Q- damn dude, you turned this one around quick! That stereo hits different with your vocal on the hook. So good. And yeah, I'm really digging this album you're producing and rhyming on 😂 let's gooooo.

Lyrics

I'm damned if I don't
Damned if I do
Damned if I do nothing
So how the fuck do I choose
If go where I'm growing
Or stay the same as I am
Choke holding my future
Like smoke inside of my hands

I don't know about you
But lately I've just been exhausted
I'm sick of counting on hope
That that holds less weight
Than the coins in my pocket

But once upon a time
I had a vision of change
So I jumped on the board
Without learning the game, yeah
But I was only making lateral moves
So afraid to fuck it up
That i failed to improve

Like i would've had potential
If i could have paid attention
Published at 13
But it wasn't worth a mention
Cuz i may write lines with strong end rhymes
But my math game sucks, and i cant tell time

And now im pushing 35
Not young, not dumb
Not old not wise

I'm not sure, and it shows
Why we fertilize our youth
Just to mow em when the grass grows?

I'm damned if i don't
Damned if I do
Damned if I do nothing
So how the fuck do I choose
If go where I'm growing
Or stay the same as I am
Choke holding my future
Like smoke inside of my hands

Another lap around the sun
Another ring in the wood grain
Another nail in the coffin
Another foot up in the grave
Another 50 shades of play it safe
Or great escape from the day to day
the more I change the more I remain stuck
in the same muck standing in my own way
lame duck, Howard
1000 cuts what a coward
like failing be a super power
I’m falling or flailing
like the hammer only hits half-in
and the damages sit in a half empty cup
like enough is enough it’s the same friggin word (What?)
I keep trying to be the shit
but I’m just polishing a turd
like whoa like word
life’s a lotta work
Barely scraping by like "that’ll work"
I’m a jerk for real for sure for sure
