[Intro]
Hey, it's been a while
You know coming back, for Reignsound
Nah it's cool it's cool it's cool, I'll run through it
Now alright, I'll just go through and I'mma do it the same way
[Verse 1]
Reign, picture the rage, picture my Honest Abe
Picture the game, look at how we could change it
A conversation with my younger self
But lately I've been hanging with my dumber self
Lately I've been changing in the mind
I been racing ‘gainst the time, it ain't fair
Cause we all know that time flies
An advantage that I can't peep
I've been tryna play it even man I can't tweak, now hear me out
I dropped Senioritis last year and it's barely out
I've been tryna let the past air but it's near me now
My conscience been getting flooded, all this smoke in the air
I came to college thinkin' I would get the potion to clear
It's getting loud, it's hard to focus in here, but damn I love it
Kind of makes it easier, knowing I'm undiscovered
It used to weigh me down on my mind, shoot I was smothered
But now I know I'm proud of my time, it's bout the numbers for real
[Hook](X2)
Hey, and it's all good
Because everybody rides by your side 'til they end up good
Hey, and it's all good
Because nobody sticks through by your side when you ain't off good
[Verse 2]
Reign, Picture the anguish
Picture the days when I was skipping to hang with
All of the dudes that banged
It was looking kind of cool but I knew my momma would cane whip me
Right back into shape overseeing my Honest Abe sh-
Ha, now so be it
The dudes round the block they was moving, that's no secret
I knew they biz was hot, I knew they biz was seeping
I knew a brother would pop if they would let me get a peek in
Hey, if they'd just let me put my feet in
'Stead of just locking me out, Instead of just leaving me freezing
I'm just tryna go and blow, I'm just tryna get to peakin'
I'm just tryna get this broad out them Dereon Jeans
And if this never makes it out I guess there won't nothing missed
It's good to let it out, I guess it's good to reminisce
Because everybody's fake and everybody's clueless
Nobody is really real and that just makes us all foolish for real
[Hook](X4)
[Intro Skit]
You don't have to mute it actually. Just gotta do this one more time and then-. Just a couple minutes, uh, first and foremost I'd definitely like to welcome you guys to Reignsound. Uh, let me start off actually, there, there's this guy, he came to me and he was like:
You know people are always telling you, you need to find something to live for, you need to find something to live for, Uh they're like "Think about work, think about school and maybe if it's not that, think about a person, uh, you need to, you know, don't give up now, think about that person and keep moving, keep going, keep going off of that, like, let that be your motivation"
And then he was like:
Yes, yes, this is true definitely. Definitely you need, you know you need motivation in life but, (He said) you can't live for anything and if you're gonna live for something live for yourself
And you know in my mind I'm like Ahhh. You know? Like he got something, he's on to something. But I'm not really seeing exactly where he's going with this. And then he starts to go further and says:
You know thing come and go, people come and go, you sit and you start focusing, you start centering your life around like this person this thing, and then basically whenever that thing, person, whatever is, is gone, now what are you left with? Now basically it's like 'You might as well just kick the bucket now."
Uh nah, but he had told me that and I was like "Dang, that's one smart guy." But actually that story came when I was in the mirror, I was talking to myself, that wasn't really somebody that told me that
But, uh, Reignsound definitely, it's a project that I feel like is alot more personal uh, versus, you know Senioritis definitely had some, some stories in there, some, you know I was definitely feeling Senioritis, you know at the time being then that's, that's personal to then and this is, this is closer to how I am now. And I feel like, you know, some people, I might get some more people to hop on board, some people might, you know, be like "Ahhh you know it's not the guy I signed up for." Uh, it's whatever, I can't really like, hold anybody to that
Uh, I mean, it's, I mean, it is what it is. I was stressing alot like towards the beginning of this project, just cause you know, I'm thinking about like the people that are shouting out on Twitter like "Yoo, I love this track, I love this track." And then, you know, it kind of just, like it all just got in my head and I'm like "Ahh, I gotta, you know, produce something similar, I gotta produce something similar." And then, at some point it just clicked and I'm like, I can't like stress myself sticking to a structure, I never had a structure before. So it's like I need to, stick to the process that I was working on before and just go based off how I feel, go based of that, don't worry about how it's gonna turn out, how people are gonna think, how people are gonna feel about it
And I, ended up with Reignsound. Uh, I had the, uh, title in mind for quite a while, but the whole concept behind it, everything, everything like that is, that's alot newer
Uh, definitely hope you guys enjoy listening to it. I enjoyed making it. Y'all just take care, this is Reignsound
