head really spinning
hear my soul speak i listen
times different, sun blinding my vision
seen the end at the beginning so you know that we winning
you cried rivers when i dipped
in that deep water tryna swim
holdin on to strength lost grip
movin wit the wind seekin truth within
reminisce when i miss mine
peace reside where the bliss lie
know it’s different on the flip side
spent time tryna cut the grief
shit was bleak,
wore my armor but the cuts beneath cut me deep
in the rain, mist in my face through the pain maintain give thanks for the time
remnants remain on my mind
find faith hit my brodie crib just to fix the mindstate
sittin by the window middle of the day,
thankful for the sun,
feet was in the mud hold me up
if its love baby you dont need to front baby
need some love baby niggas testing trust lately
bud take me out peep the route, need it now
on account of the work, walk the earth
ready 4 the worst know my worth
all i learned in this pertinent
hurdling fear, first to appear
made it clear, clean air
still breathe, seen the struggle but im still me
to hear two diamonds in the rough in Backwoodz and Ruby Yacht on the same track is really quite a special moment we're unlikely to hear again, and boy does that track pay! Pay Dues Make Do

...it's a work of art. The way he goes across genres to express the black experience...I LOVED Ensley but I'm glad that he went totally left. James Smith
