Some Tea 02:04
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, my friend I say we have a glass right now And some one on one time To show you where I’ve been My altitude and my attitude Cloud Camo, yea, yea Flashback, last year I had some pitiful days Where my wallet carried nothing but space Kept my, struggle anonymous till unemployment documents could deliver providence Could deliver providence And let's speak the truth, you know that remains priceless I don’t carry chains and my neck remains iceless My heart isn’t quick to break like wet papyrus is and you could find me where the Indica is Falling back, shutting off my cellular service We keep on riding the circuits like surfing currents But I’m not Johnny Tsunami, never been a carbon copy Of anybody, the future me’s who I’m tying to embody Show me the gaps between you and aspirations I know you’ll open that shop, multiple locations I believe in your dream, please don’t wake up from it They say swallow your pride, it’s what they can’t stomach Can't, Can't So let’s discuss love and trust over cups of that ginger tea Sip slow, sip slow, sip slow Yea, ooh Sip slow, sip slow, sip slow, sip This beat is a sedative, hits like mimosas Hold good times close, grip it like Boa One day you’re here, nother in a coma Cherish quiet moments with the fam on the sofa When you feel deserted like Sahara or some dial tones On a burner phone, won’t you let me know? I’m sitting on the edge of tomorrow, Peeking at mountain peaks Got some inner peace you could borrow And I got some tea

Freedom 03:09
Yea All we want is some All we want is some All we want is All we want is All we want is some All we want is some We want it, need it more than oxygen, tell me what you’d do to reach it What you’d do to reach it We want it, we need it, if it’s not the greener grass, look underneath it Just look underneath it They told me we have it, if that’s the case take my data and delete it Take it and delete it I don’t trust the system, they promise perfection with business and gimmicks, I I don’t trust the system, it turned ancestor spirits into some digits Now I look at my future and I refuse to detect any limits, I Wonder if we’ll ever be complete Hidden chains around your feet Haven’t been convincing me, me, me, me I just want some clouds under my feet Tell me how I can be free Keep, keep, keep it discreet, keep it discreet I just want to be Just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be The pilot of my destiny My grip is on these keys, these keys, these When I collapse like debris, like debris, like debris Yo, everybody’s playing characters and roles Till the flesh grows cold Close curtains and your fist, never fit me in a script Know I’m rare like a son born during an eclipse I’m equipped To keep calm in the chaos When I’m not focused on accumulating like a kiosk I look within to find a bit of something I think we lost A taste of freedom and harmony with tree moss I keep the search going like it’s missing persons Cuz our time on Earth is like tomorrow, uncertain Why should we be defined By currency signs Or seeking careers peers wish to find We all intertwine, don’t undermine Find Freedom from inner lies, location ties, prying eyes and what leaders hide That’s real right? Is that, is that Tell me, tell me, tell me That’s real, right? Is that, is that, is that, is that The answer to that question might keep me up at night Wonder if we’ll ever be complete Hidden chains around your feet Haven’t been convincing me, me, me, me I just want some clouds under my feet Tell me how I can be free Keep, keep, keep it discreet, keep it discreet I just want to be Just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be The pilot of my destiny My grip is on these keys, these keys, these When I collapse like debris, like debris, like debris, like debris, like debris

Intimate 02:59
As nature slowly throws a charcoal cloak on your horizon Those without love charge ahead like horns of bison, we’re blinded In this game of catch and release, will you refuse a leash, be free Cloud Camo, yea Listen, listen, listen So moonstruck, you keep the truth tucked In a buried safe, your guard’s up On the, on the, on the hunt for some connection That untamable desire from eyes burning with tension Race from the right swipes to the hands tight As a harness Upon the waist, no time to waste But passion’s like agave when you’re patient for that taste Your bond could be alloy, rarely bend or break, just Watch out for the decoys, fake love that deploys and destroys Leaving you broke like wooden coins Or oak dimes What’s your definition of a dime Before you speak, please listen to mine Hungry palms on my chest And a union beyond bonds of flesh Rise with me this dawn and the next As our footsteps follow the apex Where are you, where are you, where are you at? People looking, they’re looking all over the map Never been flawless or the type to leave you jawless I’ve been seeking solace from a brain cluttered as a caucus I’ll be honest, in this game of love I’m a novice I’ve been feeling frigid like a blizzard hitting August This that rawness May not be fitting definitions Of your image of me, but you see with tinted vision Hopeless romantic and somewhat outlandish Is how I describe myself before I vanish Into onyx blankets, searching for someone to share something candid, something candid I gotta connect closer than orgasms Type of heat atoms of our sun could fathom Hungry palms on my chest And a union beyond bonds of flesh Rise with me this dawn and the next As our footsteps follow the apex Where are you, where are you, where are you at? People looking, they’re looking all over the map Maybe our story’s beginning is told through nerve endings Lofi, mellow tones narrate our souls blending The heat between is a lucid nova dream Melting, merging Pourquoi est-ce que je t’aime? Tu m’acceptes, tu me veux Ta beauté me paralyse Et demande que J’en devienne digne

Terrarium 02:53
Ooh oh whoa oh Ooh ah oh oh ohh Virtues and vices growing here in this terrarium, I Got herbs growing in this grove inside my cranium, I Might pluck em all, multiply seeds and bury em, I Got heavy thoughts, a hundred branches gotta carry em, I’ve never Been one to fall for tactics of hypnosis But the way the petals are spinning, I’m mesmerized and focused Departed from the data-driven plan to stay on doses I'm growing my black wings, can't remain in statue poses I’m growing thicker skin akin to silver chain mail My blood was born on an island where real rebels hail Looking at the wall of freedom, no height they couldn’t scale But the weight of justice isn’t always falling on two scales Knock, knock, reality pounding like cinder block So I’m overlooking docks and escaping my darker thoughts Wind all in my locs on the eve of the equinox Keeping my demeanor smooth as Riesling on the rocks Virtues and vices growing here in this terrarium, I Got herbs growing in this grove inside my cranium, I Might pluck em all, multiply seeds and bury em, I Got heavy thoughts, a hundred branches gotta carry em Lemme reach for what I need Grab a plant from way inside to tranquilize No ketamine, just serotonin vines Got orchards full of seeds like these, you know I did decide To replicate the recipe I raised at age of 9 Imagination infinite, no matter what is imminent Be facing it, eyes on the prize, blind if it isn’t it Progress is a language, I’ve been fluent in it Cultivating joy and some happiness, yea Built bravery from bare bones like Haitian architecture I rap these lessons to you, cause boredom would shadow lectures You need to mirror soldiers and sacrifice many pleasures The long run gains have a stride you cannot measure In seconds, feet or kilometers I crack thermometers with a flow that echoes burr Make you want polar fur Make you seek an aquifer When heat is melting dirt Ooh, damn, damn, damn

Mirage 01:33
Yea, yea, yea Catch your breath in a mirage of the Amalfi Coast Rest your neck on tropical oak, make the most Of the rising tide, staying hypnotized When the stress divides Question every question, blink with three eyes Your pace is a torpedo, dodging heat like Al Pacino Pain is deeper than in vitro, can my verses help you let go Of our fabricated world Pursuit of money curls And majestic pearls Pour out some Malibu, let it swirl Keep it lighthearted like a Pulse in zero G, deliberately Dig for gems in dirt of prior tragedies All my bars have risen like orchids out of my scars I’ve been climbing walls and barbs, escaping prisons of the heart On my mister Parker, better yet Miles, my tone is darker Vision like an archer when I scope for my departure Uniting body and soul, it’s I am, no longer we are Went from rock bottom to fingers clutching the stars Spend a few seconds with sessions in the mirage Release all tension, it’s pleasant in this mirage Keep a lil segment of heaven for your collage I wanna see you flee from the daily barrage Once in a while Once in a while Once in a while, yea, yea Spend a few seconds with sessions in the mirage Release all tension, it’s pleasant in this In this In this It’s pleasant in this

about

This is my first EP and a reflection of the changes I've been going through during the last several months of the pandemic. Each track was made with a different inspiration and therefore has a completely different vibe + sound. In the process of giving myself to the music, I hope I've created something you can find a piece of you in. Thank you and enjoy!
