about

The artistic struggle of being confined by expectations vs expressive freedom often produces a healthy tension. We embrace it.

lyrics

In the moonlight, seems like
You keep me under lock and key--locked away
Nowhere to hide, but find me dancing in the dungeon---I find release

Lofty
Idle with my idols, shift to Ryan Gosling
Drive...moxy- this Holy Spirit proxy
Communicates my next move
Every step is graceful, shades of Bing Crosby

I be staring at these bars
Prisoner of listeners
Hoping they be caring bout these bars

Thus begins my sentence
Thus begins my sentence, saith God, in old English verb tenses

I hope you're catching it, my rhymes should come with a catchers mitt
But it's rarely at a faster pitch
More like capernick just outside the pocket
It's gain either way, look I'm game either way

They say art imitates life but I'm feelin we be wanting the reverse
Searching for answers or a canvas we can penetrate like I'm defined by my verse or we defined by our works

Like we can trust it... Muskets stuffed with gunpowder, just to make us louder- really we just cowards
Really we just clouded
See the daylight, but we late night Jimmy Fallon sittin on that lonely island

Please like my status, please like my magic...I'm wearing all these hats just to pull you out these rabbits

Applaud...a fraud. You can see the farce
But I'm with Paul n Silas cuz I'll stay behind these bars

Beauty and the Beast at the very beginning of the track, then a Christ-integrated message to top it all off. Nostalgic and Beautiful. To add more to the pie, the song and what it relates to is perfectly fitting for the theme of beauty in the midst of beastliness. It's just dope. Thank God for this song. Donovan Lewis

This album was just filled with quality, with or without features. I honestly couldn't pick a favourite for this.... There was too much greatness here. Ashleigh [Tyler] Clark
