  • Limited Edition T-shirt (Cardinal red shirt w gun metal ink)
    T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    This is actually my favorite color combination. The picture is a little deceiving. The shirt's more like a brick red. The "gun metal" ink looks super sick too. It has a slight sparkle which actually makes it look like grip tape on a skateboard or black/grey sand paper. It really pops.

    Includes unlimited streaming of the album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Sold Out

  • T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    Silver & Black for all the Raider fans out there. ***make sure to wash inside out cuz for some reason the bright silver ink fades after washer quicker than the other inks. Actually ends up with a cool slightly aged look, but just not as bright.***

about

Don't ever let them keep you down.

lyrics

I feel so good I might fly.
Watch them try and tell me "no" that I "can't fly."
I don't even say "why not?" no more. I'm mellow.
Hello if we never met. I'm good but getting better.
Yet, I feel so fly I gotta say it twice like...
And then they're gonna label me.
What? I'm so "______"
Yea fill in the blank whatever you think.
What do I do when they say "No No!"?
I'm like YES YES...and that barely even rhymed.
Fly none the less, I guess I'm just one of a kind.
So fly, stayin cool when its hot. I don't sweat it. Keep it mellow.
Tryin' to get it from the suburbs to the ghetto. Hit it!
You know me. I put the pedal to the metal when I let it...
Fly by the seat of my pants.
Granted a second chance.
Despite my circumstance, I advance.
They just love to tell me "no no".
Guess they don't understand.
I've seen it all like some sort of Gadfly on the wall.
Off will I fall? "No" I'm so "fly".
I say I love LA twice but not like Carmelo,
rather my city between gaudy and gritty.
And this is what it made me even if it aint pretty.
Even a fly can flyaway if and when its gets frisky.
It's way too risky when they get "shifty".
How you think it feels? Cuz I know.
No they just don't get me...well at least they aint "got me".
See Raphi's not some bargain carbon copy.
Not me. I'm making nosie like a Ducati.
Want me mellow? I can't tho. I'm ready. Set? Lets go!
Even if my music drops out, I'll hop out and rock out
'til its knocked out the park. Playing my part.
Making a mark. State of the art.
And haters? I'm breaking their heart.
I hear 'em. They're like "NO NO!" every time I reach a goal.
That's outta control. But to each his own.
Leave well enough alone. I aint gon' throw a stone.
Flying off the handle aint gon' make it any better?
I mellow out. Get it together. Become a trendsetter.
A doe go getter, whatever the weather.
Feather fly, I'm on cloud 9. "Look up in the sky!"
Maybe im outta my mind. I'm tryin' to find my little piece of the pie.
I need another mountain to climb.
Others asking me why do I think I can fly.
I'm feeling so good, gravity doesn't apply.
NOTHING's gonna keep me down.
Tweaking my sound. Been found in "the underground"
Now upward bound. I'm coming to town.
Thunder will sound. I strike lightning.
Might be frightening, I'm just enlightening.
Guess I'm tryin' to bring a couple "oohs" & "ahhs" to the cause.
Then pause for the applause...

Cuz I feel so good I might fly.
Watch them try and tell me "no" that I "can't fly".
I don't even say "why not?" no more.
I'm mellow. Hello if we never met.
I'm good but gettin' better.
Yet, I feel so fly I gotta say it twice like...
And then they gonna label me. What? I'm so "______"
Yea fill in the blank. Whatever you think.
What do I do when they say "no no"?
I'm like "yes yes!"
