I'm on that boom bap shit The rata-ta-tata-ta-tat shit I’m making waves with a sample and a drum kit I built my home inside the bass and the snare Lose me in the hats it's like I ain't even there Vinyl crackling like a warm June Knockin' throwback records from dawn 'til the full moon Subwoofer rockin us to bed Good music is my night med I wish my, lyrics could cut like a knife in the back A story to your head with a purposeful smack Take you on a journey to the center of sound I’ma break your block with a lyrical ground pound You say the words don’t matter though Let me change your mind with the saltiest flow Let me change your mind with a new perspective Lyrical attack, super effective I been Back on my bullshit, but back on the grind, and I'm Getting better one song at a time, and my Pen is to paper what a moth is to flame In my self reflection double down on the shame 10,000 hours, but I’m not making time Progress seems to crawl fighting line by line Looking for the answers, everyday, looking for the truth Starring in the mirror and I’m looking for the proof Damn, I’m not being who I say I am, If actions don’t follow the words are a sham Don’t listen to critics it’s not in their hands But if you aren’t happy change your plans When I’m writing songs I feel my soul singing inside of me I can see the brighter side of who I’m not but wanna be Rhyme Schemes run empty, don’t mind me I’m vibing Run it back until you close your eyelids I’ve been making, I’ve been writing ever since I was young Making worlds in my backyard, feel like i’m someone Else, as I plan my escape Remolding my circumstantial shape I guess the reasons don’t change cause I still want out, When I make a song, it can set me free Working on my craft each day devout I’m writing the truth I can’t yet see Every, every, every, every day when I can make a song Gotta smear the lines, and I’m gonna get it all wrong All I ever really needed was to make a song though, Love of my creation never makes it to the convo Why? When that’s all that I want Making music from my own soul’s font I'll probably never be your favorite one But when I finish this song, I’ve already won

I love this town but not everyone can see it They’re blinded by perspective just because they never leave it It's the spot where I grew up, high hopes and screwups I wanted to run, I just couldn’t wait to grow up California or Minneapolis at the least Until I'm somewhere else I would feel no peace We always said that nothing ever happens here But we happened here Small moments getting larger over time, Chasing after stars but I left myself behind I really thought that I was bigger than the city Now I'm feeling small, feeling itty bitty I was wasting my time, when I was taking my time Now I'm looking back at all that I left behind I just opened my mind to the beauty all around me I got peace of mind and I’m so glad it found me I've been riding on that Tiltawhirl And it's got me spinning round, round, round I've been riding on that Tiltawhirl, Tiltawhirl Thinking I still love this town Just because well, Everyone I love is here, what I need is crystal clear Family friends and making art, the only things that I hold dear Let ‘em know, community's the only things that' true Call me Joni Mitchell, cause I could drink a case of you Life’s a full bright morn, they just see a setting sun They refuse to run the race, complain they missed the starting gun Your problems are internal, your locations not to blame You play your pieces wrong you lose the game There is beauty in this town but they don’t notice it The people all around are the ones I wanna celebrate Strangers talking trash but we can take the hit Don’t fall for the hate time cause it’s all bait Seeing God up in the people all around you I could reach the greatest heights or not, but I'm glad I flew I say it’s holding you up, they say it’s holding you down And no matter where I go, I will always love my town I've been riding on that Tiltawhirl And it's got me spinning round, round, round I've been riding on that Tiltawhirl, Tiltawhirl Thinking I still love this town It’s a beautiful place to live, they don’t see it cause it’s their home town It’s a beautiful place to live, they don’t see it cause it’s their home town It’s a beautiful place to live, they don’t see it cause it’s their home town It’s a beautiful place to live, they don’t see it cause it’s their home town
