about

an homage to RL Stine's classic Goosebumps series, both the books and the videos we all had as kids

a "train of thought" type of song that touches on self-reflection and the ups and downs of being an artist

also it's kind of a weed song

also it's a preview of what's to come from Danny G and myself

I made the beat, wrote and performed the lyrics, while Danny edited, mixed and mastered the beat, and also provided his voice for the hook

lyrics

I fight what I think
get high when I need
Write while I eat
I die when I sleep
Try to be free
Rise and recede
Try to take a break
Try to find a reprieve
Try every day just to
Smile and breathe
But it's trying on me
They say life is a beach
Polluted and vanishing
reminding me
What I'm doing is damaging
Heightening anxiety
I lack the will to manage it
I have this bag of cannabis
But that doesn't work no more
Ask my Dr where the Xanax is
It's what I'm looking for
Don't even know what sober is
Never have been that before

Think it may be a little too late
Not sure I could carry that weight
It's like I'm back in first grade
Getting goosebumps like what's
On my VHS tape

Smart but still ain't knowin nothing
sick & sipping robitussin
Hella not myself today
Give it a sec my flow is coming
V the type of dude you wanna
Ask him if he holding something
I got that high tax store bought
I'm rolling up with
I'll be in the section with the
People that I'm smoking with
Hit it then I hold it in
Hold it till I choke again
I'm that socialist vocalist
show your friends
there's more to corruption
Than Donald trump emoluments
That really says a lot about society now
Don't it kid
I can feel it
Mind gone implode again

All this anger and frustration
overloaded with
I'm mad as hell and I can't hold it in
But it just echoes in the void
And then it's over with
The only change is that with each new day the worse it gets
One of these days folk start
Learning from the Bolsheviks
Oops I said too much
I'm prolly on a list

If you could fly would you
Not go fast
I don't know I guess
I thought I'd ask
Goin trick or treat with my haunted mask
Just reach into the dark
Until I got the grasp
We all know how hard it is
This artist shit
The heartache and accomplishment
Gotta make the hottest hits
While dodging trends
Tomorrow gotta
start again
Nervous like I'm hoppin on
An airplane carry contraband
I'm doing all I can
Grow in all ways
Ain't always been an honest man
But I know it and won't let me become
False again
I keep my faults at hand
Learn from them then
Rock the stands
Say it now yell it out
With a loud voice
Loved by most folks
Hated by the proud boys
I don't know though
I always got my doubts
Bout the future what it holds
What it looks like how it sounds
As we march
side by side
With time and find out
