STORY TYME 02:42
I’m used to talking bout love And I thought I’d go more political But these greedy new criminals Tryna rob me of parables, Narratives, tales and fables So since I’m ready and able Imma just talk about myself Til I can find somebody else To tell me their story Yeah I replay those Acid Rap recordings Because the Internet is great but it ain’t pimp me like butterflies I’m waiting for the day MF DOOM n André are revitalized J Cole been spittin like Coltrane to try n set us right But the wave of lil rappers came crashing in on the tides And as lord as my witness i’m down with the litness But I been missing rappers defining their lives with their rhymes (Chorus) they won’t tell me a story So I’ll tell you my story Cuz I’m starting to get bored with these (Verse) Im a millennial man Just tryna live in the now With a fine Island chick Who’s been cooked in da south I Put out my first EP And that ish was lit unmastered (yoooo) Now I’m tellin these tales til word about me spreads faster See my crew and I are influencers in the making Risk Taking Unwavering Cuz music been saving us from ourselves and the evil running rampant lately We Link up with no chains in our gang cuz that’s modern slavery (damn) I know That bar was real cliche but it’s still worth saying (damn) that’s a part of my story now how much more are you taking (I need to know) Well Maybe I’ll give more up if they actually paid me Nah I’m kidding I love the craft Bruh this switchup is crazy (here) (Told ya it was nice Aight Now let’s get into what I’ve been about as of late waltz) I been tweaking scheming focused thinking all about my dreams Working toward em while the fams telling me to sleep Pay em no attention I’m too worried cuz I gotta eat What’s the point of living if I’m not even living To sit With kings Spit rhymes And fly I Been a prince in my mind since I heard When Doves Cry So I’m tryna grind Stand the test of time When I die I don’t want a shrine On some corner side I’m tryna go divine (yeah) I just wanna get it for my mama Get it for my papa Get it for my sisters My whole family picture Spit out so much fire Dey can’t feel the winter Even in December Yeah I’m still a sinner But was born a winner Bruce before the Jenner All I can remember Is the harsh days In a marsh daze When I learned to praise Made it through the gates Now I’m in the game (Almost didn’t make it But here I am)

(I reminisce I reminisce) (remember this, remember this) Growing up I was a channel chaser Cuz they’d chase away my pain (chase away my pain) Put a smile on my face Take a journey from my place Made me feel like I would see better days Growing up I was a- Channel chaser Surfing channels chasing Childhood cartoons Saturday’s were sacred Watching villains duel it out with slifer slacker Jaden And shocking goons with Virgil Kept my thoughts up out the basement I swear the television taught me more than schooling ever did Blue clues help me locate all my problems as a lil kid And a lil red monster taught me how to be a friend I swear Tom hunting Jerry was my remedy for illnesses Back before the music kept me lit (kept me lit) I’d watch Naruto and cop shuriken (headband on my head) Way back then they’d clown ya for liking anime Throw ya in a locker Like a nerd in the 50s Its so Crazy how it seems like yesterday I was just a Toys R Us kid Playing video games now I’m entering life’s older phase But I Still turn dem toons on to escape Peeps guzzling haterade Cuz Courage being cowardly gives me energy (and) spongebob got me cracking up outside of all the memes (bruh) My Parents said my brain was rotting slowly From all dem shows But that black screen helped me through reality growing up I was a Channel chaser Channel chaser Channel chaser Cuz they’d chase away my pain (pain pain)

L.H.S. 01:41
Years spent by Lakeside On The Wayside of real life The good times Came from strong ties Them friendships I’ll never forget Went out middays for advertisements For writings I been forgot Guess it was practice for all of my drops Bet they can’t believe my lyrics this hot I flew under the radar within the spot-light Couldn’t truly be myself due to the strife tho But my destiny kept calling me Had a lot to grieve did it musically Dr. F prescribed positivity Helped me to invest in my heart’s melodies Now I sing holding memories Of those aound me Who Got lost at sea Took the good and the bad and for what it’s worth I unearthed jewels The sunshine was muddied but I’m lucky I made it through It’s so wild that every issue seemed like the whole world Then i graduated, found out it’s just as bad in the world [x2] (Trumpet break) the Lovely Hell Setting in which I grew up Had passion, Harassment and thrashings and love A cornucopia so unique because I went away and found there’s only one [x2]

about

The "STORY TYME" EP delves deep into the thoughts and memories of the independent Atlanta bred artist. After reuniting with collaborators and CART Music founders Tam Stockton and Matias Vanorder Gonzalez from his debut release "The Blue Heart EP", TYMMYT shows more maturity and a higher level of focus in this body of work. Whether it's lamenting the greatness of his main influences on the titular track, reminiscing about childhood cartoons on "Channel Chaser", recalling high school memories on "LHS", or discussing his frustration with the trials of the music industry on "The End", TYMMYT allows listeners to take a seat and enjoy the intimate tales of the deepest parts of his personality.
