lyrics
I’m the one they overlooked, you see nobody understood,
how he gon reach the people, he ain’t even from the hood,
he ain’t even tatted up, i wonder if he tough enough,
to any haters pucker up, I deliver bars Iike upper cuts,
tho I was never upper crust,
my little middle class ass, was past spendin cash on fashion,
copped so many comic books, got lost in a dream and imagined,
that I could be anything outside the box sin,
my wingspan make these circle city blocks seem,
smaller than before,
cuz all I wanted was more,
more time, more trust,
more love, more us,
more her, more them,
more enemies turned to friends,
well I finally made amends,
cuz indy gave me a blend,
of the purpose and direction,
35% of reflection
is acceptance of the lessons learned,
I’m in the public eye until it’s time for court adjourned,
key to the city, who got it locked like a quarter turn?
The only thing I ever really needed was respect, the only thing I ever really cheated was just death
So i’ma do it til it’s nothin left, what I been through, you couldn’t even guess…so i’ma leave you to the rest

this is one of your most soulful pieces of work, and quite possibly one of my favorite albums by anyone ever. it's gotten me through some dark times in life. each song encapsulates a different dark, eerie aesthetic ambiance that speaks with my soul Madison Keyes

These five tracks tell a lucid story with tones and textures, AND nearly demand you move your body during each piece.
This EP calls between critical nodes of musical DNA that link together many of my favorite parts of the electronic scene.
Good for a party with that edgy energy, a firespin, or night drive! David Rees

My only complaint about this album is that there are a lot of 3-4 minute songs that I wish were 10-15+. STS9 seems to have a particular knack for creating soundscapes that I want to live in for days. This album is a masterpiece. A really good pair of headphones is highly recommended. Les_Insufferables
