about

After COVID hit, there were reports of it being around for up to 2 years. The thought of not being able to record music for that long was a "gruelling proposition to bear". This song is about being resourceful and following your dreams and passions and not allowing obstacles to stop you. Afterall, "the only one who can stall me is me". Dedicated to my go-getters out there. Enjoy!

lyrics

Verse 1
...I’m back on my inspirational sh#@
We in a time of worldly distraction that baits you to quit
Enough for the engine that could to lose steam and stop moving
Loco motions is so crazy to me...got you
In a state of decline, if reflects in the state of our mind
Everything you spew in your status you say in your rhymes
The power of the spoken word is so real
My words are like steel, so hard when they hit you they make you feel
Pain and throbbing, peep the ill jargon that I am dropping
Standing behind these bars I’m concocting like there’s no option
Never dodging the repercussions of what I’m trying to say
Even when it's unpopular my inner’s finding a way
To get it out and let it out motto refusing to lose
Obstacles come in my way and I’m still doing the do
Seeking a resource, this virus had me vying for a recourse
The thought of being unable to get my words over beats off
Was too much of a grueling proposition to bear
Unavoidable, bit the bullet move was copping some gear
Been recording ever since, here’s a sample and the evidence
Been feeling way more liberated than I’ve ever been
Boosting the output, self reliance indeed
Writing these hot bars, I even melt iron when I breathe
Could’ve waddled in my sorrow with a hope and a wish
Or just be the go-getter I am take control of my sh#@

Hook(x2):
...I praise the almighty for my blessings
Somehow I found a way to pull through when I was stressing
When the pressures of this life had me gasping for wind
Refuse to lose was my mentality when grasping for wins

Verse 2
The only one who can stall me is me
I duke it out with my reflection when its stalling my dreams
Broken down on the side of the road and in search of a boost
My man Panda gave me a lift with the works he produced
Got me inspired to write rhymes from a different perspective
In the midst of a pandemic was the mission and message
A minor detour from my usual, just riding the vibes
Mostly finding some sunshine in spite of the times
Pushing that dark cloud of grey until I see the sun rays
Basque in the glory of my life like beach goers that sunbathe
Minimizing the com-plaints…’cause nobody cares
Everybody’s got the the weight of their own problems to bear
So I walk my reality with head held high
Conquer demons, decapitate them and got their heads held high
I channel that energy to music, results are therapeutic
Package it with brain and soul food for my peoples to consume it
