Hangin' On 01:06
The feeling that i get when i think about you, the way we don't touch as much as we use to do, it makes me blue. I built my whole life around us, feels like the lust is gone, but i ain't ready to move on. I want you more than i ever have, and i have more of you than i've ever had. maybe it's my fault, and it's my bad, but i don't wanna think like that I just wanna win you back. Make you feel like you need me too, cuz i remember back when we couldn't get enough, stayed on the path when the road got rough, we're tough enough to pull through anything, all the non-believers that said we weren't meant to be could eat one, and still can. cuz i ain't givin' up on you, not after what we've been through. I can't let you go, i don't know how. Don''t know a time, i lived without or how to cope without an outlet, i found it, in sound. yeah.

I got my fitted black cap with some letters on it i bet you guess 'em (Umm D. S. O. W.?) right you is, i been rockin' those since back in high school that's the same time that i started fuckin' with the mic too, nice dude, kept to himself and put all his time into music, except for the time that was used putting dick into floozies. truth be told, that took up quite a bit of time but still felt like I's in the studio 'bout 26/9, recording my mind, never looking to be signed, kept that independent mind state like Tech N9ne. Set out to be original, but what i did find, was something so beautiful, i couldn't decline, when i grab 'Nothing' by the neck and mold it in to 'Something' turn around and do it in another session, what a way to rid aggression, tension and vent (Thru music) "but what Genre is it?" this is what i tell em when i'm asked that question, i say I Be on my Motha fuckin DSOW Shit Independent individuals, rippin' instrumentals I be on my motha fuckin DSOW shit so cynical , you don't like it, i couldn't even give a fuck. I got my baggy black T with some letters on it. You'll see them same letters on any whip i'm up in. You'll see them same letters on my arm on any given day. ain't fadin' away, compliments of darker shade. started 10th grade, awkward and shy, didn't have a name, just "that D. S. O. W. guy" The wigger kid don't need credentials, affiliate with few, chill with my instrumentals, friends are pens and pencils, apart from being 'ventful', i need an escape, and found it in my verses, of course that's more than history papers in my black backpack and that algebra's a breeze, it's easily passed, pull out my notepad after acing tests. they say home is where the heart is, and my heart is in the bars i spit, so when i say i'm shooting home the booth is where my target is. I made it through another day hit record, and forget it. grades are A's, filling pages, spaced out in my honors class. then i'm off to the Backyard Shack. any given afternoon, it's where i'm at. make a little beat now, noddin' our heads with my homies and some 40 ounces tippin' em back. And i put everything i had into my music, and that hasn't changed, i didn't lose it, greatness i pursued, produced the movement. Pictures painted in the blueprint, my ego ballooned big, when they'd ask me what i'm doin "Whatchu doin?" I'd tell 'em, i'd say.. I Be on my Motha fuckin DSOW Shit Independent individuals, rippin' instrumentals I be on my motha fuckin DSOW shit so cynical , you don't like it, i couldn't even give a fuck. I got my custom chrome belt with some letters on, go figure DSOW is takin' shots, fingers on the trigger. Stopped dropping N bombs, I'm still a crazy ass and every song i've made is proof of that, evidence to consider. I'm in love with my music, i don't just like it a lot. Music is my savior, why my tat has a mic on the cross. Across the field from ordinary never liked 'the more the marry' stuck to a smaller circle, vertically up is where he's headed from the get go, a decade makes a Vet so, Jayo is a Next-Level never reppin' retro. Pictures Painted, Sets shown verbally when let go, Flow is to Progressive, ain't fuckin' with a gecko I couldn't be with out 'em I need that D.S. sound cuz These rappers settin' paces, for me to out run. I've got to much to say, you see that's how come my EP stayed beatin' longer than your album. And i ain't on the same level that i was found on. Ascended through the ranks and put my fitted crown on, so long in the game, i dont' remember my round 1, but you should know by now, what i'll be doin from now on Guess?.?.? I Be on my Motha fuckin DSOW Shit Independent individuals, rippin' instrumentals I be on my motha fuckin DSOW shit so cynical , you don't like it, i couldn't even give a fuck.

I give myself a headache thinkin' bout the way that we were. the way that you would brush it off when i would say i'm hurt. Nothing that i ever did was ever good enough to please you i threatened to leave you, you acted like 'Shit, Please do.." Thought you were bluffing and i toughened up, what's another sleepless night, a fight and end it with holding a grudge, wake up in love, hurry, here we go, marry go round, same scenerio that i had swore that i would stay out. but far from me to commit to a promise that i made to my self but you found me when i was down, and had a hand to help and my esteem of self was so low that it might as well have been killed. thank god you found me, that's the way i felt. let me get interested and keep on commin back then treating me like nothin', talking down to my bad every flaw i had, you picked at, hit me so low like a blow was throwed, and i know that i showes cuz Everybody seen it, the way that i was treated but i guess i just looked past it cuz i knew that you i needed. so why we always heated? guess i should have expected it, I love you, but fu.... forget it. what i don't understand, is how can someone so wrong always have to be right, in any arguing fight. say so long to pride, hello to submission and a feeling that since, has been replaced with a sickness. Jonny roll with it, cuz you don't wanna be alone and no one else will put up with you anyway so go on home. Condone, What's the sense in fighting battles that you lose if you win I'm through with this shit. The way i was before i met you, i wish i could be again, That's something to strive for , cracks in my heart for me to mend. Pretend, This was all a dream i woke up from a reoccurring nightmare i set out to overcome, be done. Sweep the ashes from my past, to the trash Live to love another day Learn to love what's gone away, and bask in the joy of going my own way, from my old self, see me separate cuz.. How could i simplify this? You see straight through my eyelids. I said what i said, and you were fine with it. I hate the way your condescending in your tone around me talkin' like i'm nothin' without you and you can do without me. It's a twisted game played that we're playin' now. But what i pray is i go up, cuz i've been so down, and i know that you'll move on, cuz you get around, and i'ma make you a song that you can sing about the say that was there for you, cared for you. way i was fare to you, scared for you when you weren't careful. fearful or the sudden actions that you take without precaution, like treating me as useless, i guess i'm lost then. And i won't give a second thought, so many second chances came and gone, i'm takin' off. No reason i could see for me to stay, but i know one day i'll run through your mind you'll think of me and say...

Life... 05:20
Life… by: Jayoen Growing up when my momma left, not a tear was shed, call me heartless emotions dead. I didn't need her anyways I had dad compare me to any other body that has that. I get away with everything, anything I wanted bad. Jared’s ID made me the one to ask when it came to getting smashed. Now I'm feeling like the cool kid but still not the type that them rich girls fool with. Now I've got a grudge against the school ‘It’s not me it's them’ I kept saying in my head. I can't wait to leave, just a couple years left. I needa get away, I needa refresh. I just felt like I didn't fit in, I wasn't one of them, I felt different, outcast in a sense. Years down the drain cuz I wasn't even living, I was waiting, for life to begin but that was life… If I would have put my, my worries down, then maybe I’d’ve realized, I’s gonna make it out. (2x) In the years that I've lived since then, I find myself always looking forward not enjoying the moment that I'm in. This world’s demands keep my head straight, it's weird but my dreams keep me awake. I always get ahead of myself, it’s never what's up now?, It’s always what's coming up next? I blink, a year passes, I'm 26. I'm stuck in the future I should just get a glimpse. How many times I say I wish today would hurry up, I can't wait for tomorrow's day to start, curtains up. When we all know it’s not promised, I'm just certain it will come but then I'm thinking ‘bout the next one. That's why I drink my days away, it’s not that I'm unhappy; I'm just in a race anyways. With no sight of finish line. I just need to slow down, take a breath, close my eyes and realize that this is life… If I could just put my, my worries down, Then maybe, I’d realize I’m gonna make it out (2x) Open my eyes I'm in the clouds now, I never once had a doubt that I would make it out, wow, my momma moved down, and daddy put the bottle there, I woke up from a dream, n everyone was f****** there. I heard one of my songs on the radio play; shout out to DSOW, its Jayoen’sday every day. Someone said I Spit too hard, called up and said I blew their socks and their shoes off. And I don't really gotta work, I've got enough put away to last me on this earth. Speaking of my worth I'm a real go getter. Moved my fam out of the ghetto to a big house. everything is paid for. Don't need to put time away for chilling with the family that's an everyday joy, every day’s more, better than the last, every day's a blast, you shouldn't really have to but if you had to ask, I’d say that that’s life… Bet I could, now keep my, my worries down. And I will, I know I, I’m gonna make it out (2x)

If you would take a second, and just pace it a little slower, like you never wanna go and I would be, everything you know. take your pride and let it go, but expectations never lower, every day I wanna show ya, I could be everything you know I wanna be the only one that you run too, yea I done been around the block I done run through., but all I really need all I want su, don't think I could say it better don't think I should have to. Ask who, anyone you want about my past you don't have to I'm an open book I mean a tracklist to scan through, for example, you could get to know me just by downloading and listening to any of my albums, u know I'm a handful, yeah i got some screws loose, but I would really boo hoo if I were to lose u The loops in the hoops that I shoot thru just to pursue you add up to the admiration you prove. And I give it back. But u wanna scrap, Cuz u give me ass, Then I give u dap. ..Damn.. that's the way that its been tho. U know I'm just foolin witchu u can take an insult. maybe not. But if u walk away I won't save your spot. I'm too damn old to play them head games a-gain, u act like its poorin on when I on't even feel the rain damn, where'd them water works come from? i just wanna give u what u wanted from me dumb dumb. and i don't got the kinda patience that i had when i was 21 hun, i aint makin payments no i want your lumps sum, feel your rump some. give me somethin special for the stresses that i've undone. through the pressure of u hated every word ive layed down, even tho ive showed love since the day i layed it down —————————————————— I wanna be everything that you run to, I wanna be everything that you want too, I want to be your everything, your 12 3 4 everything you need when its just you. And just do what you want to, baby keep your head up, head on out to my place relax kick your legs up try not to get fed up, getting upset just wake me up with some head meaning give me a heads up. Either or, bliss is what I'm seeking more. Smiling fine every time that I ring your door. between the screams and the noise, you gotta know that i want you to want me, that is why i’m singing for. ‘ and you have seen me with a lot of dimes but i don’t want to see me with a not a one that isn’t you, bottom line. if we can make it through the rain we can walk the line, and what we gain from the pain we can call and mine, which makes it yours and your welcome, but i don’t need a Blue Shirt to tell you that jealousy ain’t helpful. and you can sit and hate women I’ve been through but know that if it wasn’t for my past i wouldn’t have been here to have met you. hmmm. why we play games anyway? you ain’t going anywhere and i’ll follow you there on any day. but you just don’t trust me still right? but take a second, try to question how the hell i feel like... you wanna know if i’m real right. well if i didn’t want to be here, why would i still fight, to make you see i want to be everything you know, don’t want to be just a part i want to be your everything, you know?

All i wanna do is bring you fire, make you wanna take a seat, Jayo's from The Dark Side, feel the force when i speak. I say i do this for me, but if there wasn't a you to talk to, who knows if i'd put my views to a beat. My lady told me the other day i was rappin' in my sleep all i could think to myself is 'No shit, this is what makes me' I sit alone in my studio and act like someones hangin' on to every word and needs another verse from me to be at ease. And that's what keeps me going, That's what allways keeps me level headed. And i know that i don't show it but i struggle with it everyday and i don't think you would ever know how much your support motivates. Shoulders swollen now, holdin' weight. Hold up, Wait. I fell into a dark abyss, dark as shit. turned into a darker shade, fell apart, swing to hit... swung and missed. I keep my expectaions low, i know what disappointment is, and i've lightened up, been way the fuck more dark than this... I just want to make a fan of you, take your breath away asthma attack in a track with a side of spectacular. It's such a different sound that we make in these tracks for ya. and everyone is free you don't even have to ask me forit Every time I write a piece of me goes in that song , a sneak peek to my life dsowmusic.com . I drop an album every year and u know I do it for you. I just get depressed sometimes wishing there was more of you And I ain't ever ask for nothin, but I love the love you give . Makes me want to make you something, something you would love to hear . And you know the day is feared, that you all disappear. That would bring me down down, like my last sober year, yea And fall into a darker place worse than this. They said there was light up at the end I couldn't work the switch. But you could be for certain you won't ever see the worst of all. The circus act is back for the curtain call. Let the curtains fall

Ever since I was a young one I felt like I was something else sinner in a pure soul pissin liquor, burn in hell don't f****** judge me I don't need nobodys f****** help and you don't really care so I Southern Comforted myself Go put your hoodie on. Oh goody look at em, baggy as pants and lookin like a hoodlum. That show he's puttin on is such a dark one far from your PG, nerves he's just pulling em Nervous that he's got the world hanging on his words in songs , jealous of the ones that never held that weight to carry on. I've had for very long, I'll prove it. I get high when I do and when I don't,I lose it. Over a decade ago I decided that I was made for music every song had a meaning and I had the means to do it . Shit talk about backwards, I typically come out of a stereo but I'm not your stereotypical rapper No I'm different, I've got a lot of growing up to do and ill admit that but I came a long way from 9th grade. Jordan High little white boy, short and shy, little n**** got a bigger head now maybe that's why I'm different Or maybe it's because of what I promised to myself when I first started everything I heard was garbage, on the radio and I said I'd take it from there, And I would only make music that I would want to have to hear. Something different, never change your sound because of something someone said stay strictly DSOW and just see if you spread, see then you're set cause if you do this for you, you never lose that respect so yes I'm so different, I've got that Fuck you money I could spit what I wish bitch. And when I wish. So keep me on your wish list, or don't because I don't sound like anything u ever listened to _________________________________ My tone has changed, but style still original. Even when I'm making music to someone elses instrumentals. I switch it up and make it my s***, give a f*** who likes it, I script them pages enticing. This mic things the icing on the cake, and you can have it and eat it matter of fact, make a plate, And chill while I misbehave, my music never really fit in and I ain't willing to change I'm strange I gave you my life, you needed more than that. I gave you my love, you never gave it back. I made you my world, and you turned your back. All that's left is music, Seems appropriate dont it, I get so winded rolling through the motions, I hear 'Jayo that was dope' but I don't see no promotions still I don't trip, at least I don't show it til I'm behind the mic and I can light one at these hoes that make me so sick and so pissed, yet so focused, cuz that's motivation, not that I need it I've had excess since 06 from ex's and dope hits with access to flow spit, but still you don't hear me like my tone is too low pitched, no bitch. I got a sick wit with me and a no shit, policy when shit get gritty, cuz i own this, independent, been busy, kickin’ up a new sound for my new cd and it’s different, not even close to what you fools do i think my game is tight as fuck , u think I got some loose screws. The way I rip into sentences and vent with conviction (hell) bent to send truth thru Makes me different, and sentenced to be a sideshow, even tho I'm liable to lose it and go psycho and turn it in to my show Cuz I don't play well with others, that's why they think that it bothers me that I'm So different,.. but i couldn’t even give fuck if i tried. I stick to my style, and all bullshit aside. im glad that i’m the odd man out, from 03 to now never quit reppin’ DSOW..

Flip Cup 05:27
You call it drinking and driving, I call it sippin and cruising. Cause we get lit starting Friday, and we don't quit till we're stupid. So we go zipping down the highway, to get our fix with some booze. Then we head back to my place, and get in, in to do it. and we go back in the back room we got a separate assembly , of lasers and lights and shit that fucks with you mentally. and the bass in the place will melt your face sensitive, ralfs sativa will leave you with a fever of extacy. ahhah and i can vouch for his shit. that’s why i don’t fuck with it. a pussy en-comes to that. but when it comes to me chugging’ o-z-si’m the king of loving b double o z e a nice aroma upon ya when coronas are flowing and the foam is controlled, and theres so many more. twenty fourit’s gone, it’s bologna, i pint just to calm ya, gotta roam through the night to re up, happens all the time because we. I got my fuck-it-lets-get-wasted face on, and i’m facing offwith thirty two ounces of yum, ‘finitely what you want.thirty seconds down, feel a buzz,brew is gone, flip the cup. yup. another round’ll console the soul of the runner up. You don't like flip cup? We'll flip you off and we'll play regardless. Count of go is how it's started. Ready, set....... Go! Drink it, flip it, and reset again. It only gets better when your buzz gets to setting in That's a second win. And we don't rest we getting it. 36 pack, 4 people, 10 minutes, I'm no mathematician, but that's a fast effin session. And we don't have intermissions cuz we don't lack beer obsession so getting blacked out is mission. And look. I know I'm pushing 30 but I sure will, keep playing drinking games like I'm in high school still. They say you gotta grow up sometime, but I don't see why, the hell would I quit? I'm having the time of my life! So I will

You're pullin me down, deep beneath the surface i know that it hurts but it feels like we're worth it, everything i go thru has led me to this when first Lost Love se the precedence, when you fall down, and theres something there to catch you it holds you close, that's love and you adapt to it never knowing which way things are gonna go but it's in your heart, you can feel it in your soul. it infects your blood, and it courses through your veins runs through your body, to occupy your brain. everything you think, and everything you say you do with pride cuz you're a darker shade of white soldier, and music's in your blood, pulls you under when you fall in love, there's no escaping the music that we know, you'll just drown in the currents undertow your the feeling that i needed to feel for so long, your that little sign of hope that i needed to move on, your the thing i wasn’t looking for that kept me interested your the spark that made me bust, the pun thats not intended, Your the ‘what did i do when i didn’t have u’ the ‘what would i be had i been about it’ the ‘fuck happened to me? i’m feel in solow i don’t mean alone tho. I mean grounded. I know, i need a dark persona on me, cuz i don’t look the same now as my common, na mean? good thing that i never tried (one) up, or compete, cuz i don’t mind a little change, but i can’t be not me. Not me, Let ‘em talk junk, know that i’m cocky (pause) huh, ya got me. fresh, shoppin' at the swap meet, and yeah my name is Jayo but i’m not your average Jo and no i’m not sloppy..

Ooh .. I wanna lose my self in you .. But when You come around I lose my cool cuz you, get me red hot then I turn blue. It's true, it's the same mess that we've been through. I don't know how what why when who, you ever screwed, been this cold to . Pursued, then forgot and cut off like a hamgmans noose. I remained that clueless. Pain passed thru this, and drained my fuel that keeps me Goin. Now I'm Rollin on fumes you stained my views dim. And the truth is I could've called it. This is dejavu shit. Well shit. At least I'm use to it. Mid summer still raining. Broken brush still painting. Broken Heart still laying versus in In pain still singing. Asking baby why you leave me hanging I woke up in a cold sweat, Again so upset. Wrapped up in your memory the tones set. Blacked out curtains..... I closed that. Stumbled to the cabinet get a hold of some old jack. I know that it's been a while since I've been. Any fun to be around, And I don't see the sense in bringing anyone to my level, down. So to get okay I down, In liquor set up barricades and hide out. . I don't want to face the world that has come to know us, alone when I show up, it's so tough. So I pre game my pregame for leaving my house, if you didn't think that I was sinking you'd be leaving it now I've been consumed by this dark cloud, and what's worse I can see through the dark now. I've adjusted and I just want to climb my way out, of this abyss and get what I miss what I'm miserable without

Let It Go 03:24
Yea.. I could have stayed as a hater when my homie had to leave without a hey see you later, I over flowed with anger, my sadness got the best of me, my brother from another mother left and now it's Fuck em and I couldn't even stress it e-nough I jumped off the deep end, what the f*** did I be- come? What I hated the most, but what I hate is that we never finished what we had begun.... Some time passed and the grudge held, u ain't called me so why the hell would I pick up a cell. i’m doin’ good on my own shit, but harboring that negative energy was eating at me quick, and got sick and i slipped and fell way down, cuz i hated myself for the road that i came down. but i’m not good at sorry’s plus i’m not the one that left anyway, so what the hell can i say now. 2 years passed, not a single word was spoken outside of my tracks. i think i’m gonna be the bigger man, and in a single phone call, the past was the past. and again we’re fam. working together online, it’s like i’m tryna make up for lost time, i breathed a sigh of relief reminiscing on the days we fed hunger to beats. yeah, you see my best friend in high school, like my only friend there, find us drinking on the stairs. and at lunch in my van, cuz our next class is gym and we balled everyday, me and him. 3 years straight. cuz i was a year ahead, and when i graduated, got in touch with this girl wanted to make a move on but never made it. I’m a year older, she’s a senior now, i asked her out she said yes and we started dating. chillin all the time when she’s out of school, drinking on weekends and freakin’ and it was cool. don’t gotta worry about cheating cuz my girlfriend and best friend became friends so he can keep an eye on her, we get higher more, plus my lady has a friend for my friend, that’s what broes are for man, yea, try to get in. . everything is good like it ought to be, till out of no where my girl stops calling me. hmmmm.. get in touch with an ex but don’t sex cuz i’m not too sure, whats going on with my girll i just don’t know what’s up with her., till she tells me it’s over,(over) over the phone, and looking back man that must’ve hurt. but not as much as when i found it was my best friend fuckin’ her…. walked in his house and i seen his prom picture, with her. needless to say i was furious, but after years of anger, i finally forgave and i let it go..

you're the first thing that I'm forced to think of when I'm waking up and you know I'd rather be with you instead I'm lacing up in my work attire and then I stumble to my truck yeah of course I'm tired but I don't want to give you up You're the one thing that can make me feel how I needa feel Whem I'm all bottled up and I needa let it spill. Can't stand still I did it on a dare Too much might kill, you know I've been there When I was 18 thank God I dodged it. cause I need you like pitbull needs to say Dale, Call it what you wanna call it but I'm addicted to liquid that keeps me solid got But back When this all started I was just left by this dumb hoe and even though we'd already met That's the kick that was needed for us to connect, plus I was angry at the world and so f****** depressed but then, i blamed you, for every, thing that i, had been through, cuz i hurt, and i’m week, so i said, you and me are through, in ‘010, i told my, self that I, would leave you, it wasn’t . that simple, cuz i can’t live without my brew. and i still feel the same way, like fuck Duracell cuz i don’t need AA, a simple way to put it is, i’ll be with you to the death of me, you’ll probably be the cause of it then i can finally rest in peace. yeah,.. but until that day, i will just stay in my obsessive ways, i couldn’t stray a day without your taste, so get me wasted, so shit faceded lets lay down. And i’ll dream of waking up to another round. ---------------------////-- Tho we ain't always been this close, our bond has never been as tight as it is now and what I found is I love you in any size: don't need to know your past who you were with before me I love you at 24 I love you at 40. (gooood) i love what you do for me right there chillin… when i’m done working. turn this Devil’s Playground to an Oasis ’ts why i always turn to you on a day to day basis Even back in high school weed f*** around daily, during lunch in the parking lot never got cot. til that one day it was early took it passed buzzin, before school in Corey's truck with brandy your cousin Thought I was done but I wasn't, I got a second wind, cause the very next weekend I did it again I'm on a roll now, and I was only 17, I wasn't sprung yet but I was somewhere in between sing= The next few years had our ups and downs, got me in trouble with the law taking downtown, wrecked two of my cars got another one in impound, . I was still under your spell when I went in to get it out And I vowed, to be more careful but my care left and I don't know where to, but its out, and I am impair-able you who impaired me left me on the carousel Always spinnin’ around n round, you could plant me face first on or lift me (up) off the ground. Won’t come down, I’ll paint this town (red) i do it for the (beer crack open) Love that sound. with my hand around (you) mouth on yours. you take me to a better place that i prefer and it don’t matter where that is but you can be sure that i’m gonna need another bottle with a body like yours.

we went our separate ways, we could never go back. feels like i get a heart attack when i think of that. cuz i never meant to let you go, but i did, now even when your lying here with me, your hearts with him. and my heart’s in peaces every time you walk out. your goodbye’s seal the deal that we will never work out. no matter how bad i want to. i know i need too. i can’t tell you no, cuz i know that i need you… need you…. for as long as you’ll stay. it’s a gift and a curse that you won’t go away. now i’m the fool in love, the sucker in pain. but i’m the one to blame cuz i’m playin your games so i do a lot better in my mind when i drown it out, i could walk away and never give a second thought about it. good without it. but can’t move on if you don’t let me go. coming in and out, i’m dumbfounded, and lonely tho and just the right amount of desperate you would never take me for, but you take me back, then you break me more. forsake me, sure. hopeless romantic hoping that the days are more, that i ain’t ignored. i could get a long of course, but when i see you walk through it all my fears are out the door. again I’m yours. you help me. til the morning, i wake up and your gone, it kills me, so tell me.

Keeping up the studio it takes a bunch of cash so i work my ass off, before I make them beats blast. (wake up)wake up in the a.m. go put in a couple pans and even when i’m workin i got music in my head, Instrumentals that i made so i can write while i work 2 birds and a stone, when thrown, they’re murked. I’ve been in love with music ever since my first hit, the outcome of the hustle, makes it all worth it. never learned the word quit, i just keep ascending too a new level, bigger numbers, better music and then even more money, and’ll have another album pending, won’t make me money, but no that doesn’t offend me. I make enough on my hot mop shit so what i look like a bum when i’m working, Im rich. And when the tar’s cooled down, i b cleaned up nice You be thinkin’ I be fresh and i be thinking’ you’re right And i can’t, will not let it go, i need DSOW in my stereo boy’s so cold, like twenty below I just want everyone to know that i can go hard, and i destroy bars I stay the same, i can’t take the change like coinstar, i leave my voice scarred on the track, a noise snob, i’m makin money or music, only two choices i got____________________________________________________________________________ I used to laugh all the way to the bank, but now I hardly ever go cuz I make all of my deposit on a smartphone. Speaking of those I go through in like they’re throw away like to go to my job you need a bullet proof case. I also use them for music so say goodbye to pens and pads, lyrics go straight to the cloud. . Free storage up there. Hit the booth and take my time with it, at my own pace, I ain't in a race and I don't see nobody timing it. .. Plus my times expensive, so when it's mine I might as well get my money worth, mics and vintage, Synthe_sized instruments. Combining sentences designed and meant to please the mind and senses, then it's back to work, rather it be cold than sunny. But either way man that asphalt sure smells like money. And that's music to my ears, fill my jug with something that keeps me going and my music not the only thing buzzing And now I feel i’m on a roll. goin’ hard since i’s 16 years old and since then i’ve got a lot to show. and i just want everyone to know. i’m writing songs while you leave another page vacant. time off is in the studio, that’s my vacation. non-stop, gotta go, this year i ain’t waiting’, add another album and another fuckin' digit on my bank statement.

Stay Tuned 03:46
I never wanna lose it / Once again I Put my soul into music / And do it One more Time Breathin' breath from a melody / and If i do quit Don't give a fuck who is feelin me / Stay tuned, cuz soon is new shit DSOW unlimited, DSOW family Moves the DSOW movement, say DSOW proudly. DSOW lifestyle keeps DSOW sounding {dark} cand see how DSOW could be without me. I never wanna be without the music that I make and love, with every album made I feel I haven't even made enough But time is moving and I'm feeling more and more distant Cuz me and life are gettin along. No more resistance The curse of the darker shade dissolved, no more slip and fall. Caught me with a proper posture walked in damn near 10 foot tall. Used to dig into a hole to climb my way out, right about a character at turn myself into, drown. In memories of a me that has been long gone in the life with the love that had since gone wrong, the pain brewed up, when i came thru mud. so i stay boozed up for a say too much The studio is closing in, suffocation imminent, jayoen is sinking down, but he don't need your sentiment. Every song is adding up just check the last ten I sent, I send em for free, add it up, that's less than ten a cent. I sense the tense nerves get bent when I'm left to vent, then commend the 4 letters that I represent and over 10 years that I gladly spent, putting’ life into lyrics that you hear, i present. I've been chasing you down don't want to give up. At the same time don't want to return where I came from. 12 years just passed in a flash I was just 16 with a dream and a 40 in my lab singing our first single before the backyard shed 3 verses one take and we called it a rap. Sitting in class my nonelistening ass, with a newfound purpose for my pencil and pad And from then on. I was hot on the mic, Every chance I got you know that I would stop and just write. Without a name til Jamieson came talking to me like, Yo let's call our first album the darker Shade of white
