Yeah When the sun rise We figure that we got mo' time But in due time we realize We got no time Wonder where do we go when we leave the sky I wonder, where do we go when we leave the sky At night time You close ya eyes and see the Most High Leave the physical behind And you go for a ride Wonder where do we go when we leave the sky I'm asking, where do we go when we leave the sky? Aye yo I asked a question Can any body tell me that? Where we goin', where we headed Is we coming back? I can't decide if I'm curious or furious Is it life after life? Or is some of us delirious? Nah, this one is serious We all gotta go Can't run, can't hide It's something we all know But if it's more after this Then why are we afraid? Every breath that we take Brings us closer to the grave That's as real as it can get That's facts, it's legit You ever look into the sky And wonder, is this it? Just to work 40 hours 'Til you get old and sick Or maybe that's to slow You live fast and need it quick So you sittin' in a spot With a block makin' chips Can't see past the night Tryna make ends click The only future for you Is hittin' the next lick It's Novocain in our veins When we in Death's grip When the sun rise We figure that we got mo' time But in due time we realize We got no time Wonder where do we go when we leave the sky I wonder, where do we go when we leave the sky At night time You close ya eyes and see the Most High Leave the physical behind And you go for a ride Wonder where do we go when we leave the sky I'm asking, where do we go when we leave the sky? (Listen) Often I sit and try to reason Figure out the meaning Should I question where we go Or should I just believe it? I try to ignore it But its hard to forget 'Cause so many go before us Man, it's hard to accept Emotions make it feel Like a dart in your chest Cold Brown, No Ice Drinking dark, smokin' cess Ease ya' mind, numb the pain But can't put away the stress It's so much pilin' on I can't get it off my chest It just bounce around my head Like a ricochet I try to make it go away But it just stick and stay So I live wit it Carry it from day-to-day But at night, it keeps me up And I just want a break But really, I know my number comin' So I'm likely buggin' over nothin' But that pain was real When I lost my Cousin The shock was hittin' Like some steel drummin' And I cried for a day And then I started feel numbin' When the sun rise We figure that we got mo' time But in due time we realize We got no time Wonder where do we go when we leave the sky I wonder, where do we go when we leave the sky At night time You close ya eyes and see the Most High Leave the physical behind And you go for a ride Wonder where do we go when we leave the sky I'm asking, where do we go when we leave the sky? (The truth, no one will panic Because there is nothing to fear) (Do you know the reason, brother Please let me know Because I cant wait no more And my time my time is almost gone)

(Puts a different perspective on what sound actually is) Yeah Iz ILL Yeah yeah (Listen to what I'm saying here) Uh, yeah That's not a satellite in the sky That's just me That's not a shootin' star flying by That's just me That's not a airplane gliding by That's just me That's not a UFO in front ya eyes That's just me Mind lost Mind lost Mind lost In 2020, I'm just going through the motions With the pain, Im coping Tryna climb the silver rope To the soul that's floatin' I've been detached for too long Time to fix what's broken Hear the growth in the rhymes From the lyrics that's spoken For 35 years I've been on this rock And don't nobody know When the ball gone drop We spinnin' through space Don't know where we'll stop And y'all to busy worried 'bout a Doomsday clock That's not a satellite in the sky That's just me That's not a shootin' star flying by That's just me That's not a airplane gliding by That's just me That's not a UFO in front ya eyes That's just me Mind lost (This is an ancient meditation) Mind lost Mind lost (I am the energy, the consciousness, the being)

Finding the right inspirational energy to create can be a task. The moments come quickly and go even quicker. As a growing adult with expanding responsibilities it becomes increasingly difficult to carve out time and space to create organically. All of these experiences also fuel the creative spirit. I try not to force the creation, instead I only look to surrender to it and allow myself to express truly.

"Where Do We Go" was written after losing a family member to poor health, a good friend to gun violence, and finding out that a family member was notified of a cancer growing within them. That type of information is not easy to handle. Life threatening illnesses put life in perspective to the many things we deem important. In addition to that, we all have to transition from physical beings at some point in time. How do we balance our emotions between the inevitable truths?

"MNDLST" was developed out of similar energy. With unbelievable death all around us in this Pandemic, it's almost impossible to think of
anything else. Moods and vibrations are very low. However, everything is cyclical and this too shall pass.

Enjoy, if you will.
