Hey fam! Here's my i-Talent round 12 submission! I'm really excited to share this song and video from my latest EP release! This song was such a joy to record and collab on the production.
About the song:
There's been a lot of crazy stuff happening inside the US lately and it's been very heart breaking to so many of us who feel powerless to fight against all the political angst that is weighing so heavy on our hearts and souls right now. I wrote this song not as a way to express frustration with the system, but more to help garner a sense of support and comradery in creative way. Essentially, "I see you over there having a hardtime, I'm having a hard time too, but we're going to get through this together. I see you and I got you." Because at the end of the day, we need each other. We need other people. We need connection and support. That's how we were designed and that's a beautiful thing.
That's about it! I hope you guys dig the song and thank you so much to all the i-talent contributors for the opportunity!!!

Lyrics
Blazed days cooling off fine as the sun slips to the westside
Moonshine filling our eyes sip a little more roll it up right
Steady tryin'a bring us low
We don't really care though
Never forgetting where we come from
Dreaming of the things that we all want
Scape goat to the world put your problems on us problems are us
Gotta find a way to let go of problems on us before we get stuck
Don't forget to see with me
The beauty and the blood of we
Never forgetting where we come from running from the things that we all want
Oooooo... I gotchu I gotch
Oooooo... I gotchu
Don't you let em, catch you sleeping, catch you slipping
Even on the weekend
It's what they tell us, what they teach us
Go and fix your face it's only weakness
Go ahead and let it go
Ain't nobody gotta know
Never forgetting where we come from
Running from the demons laying in us
Oh I don't know when, it became so important
To act like, we're fine, ain't nothing wrong
All the while, just trying, to keep pushing on
Why's it, so hard to admit when we're wrong
Never forgetting where we come from
Running from the things that we all want
Dreaming of the things...
Blazed days cooling off fine as the sun slips to the west side
