  • 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.

    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.***

lyrics

Each and every time I get near a groove,
I wanna jump inside to steer and hear it move.
I'm clear. I'm cool. I'm calm.
I'm here to prove that I'm on
Another level of incredible even beyond.
I'm meaning no harm.
More like, I'm spinning my yarn.
telling my tall tales until y'all singing along.
Even tho I know it could've been a slower song.
Forgive me. Simply, my trigger's itchy.
But come on! You gotta keep running just to get me.
Come and uplift me? Whatever man!
I'm knowing that they really wanna hit me as hard as a hippy.
That's silly. They're hard as a hippy...really.
Y'all don't feel me. So follow me, better for both.
They can't kill me. Flyer than first class if the ticket really says coach. You a liar. Don't approach.
In the muck and the mire, servant turns sire.
'Catch a Fire' Match for hire.
Liar thinkin' them higher than the Messiah.
I admire those plain clothes more "lame, cliche' attire.
Shames Worthy. Now y'all can say you've heard of me.
I spit some type of syllable surgery.
Surgically in the pocket perfectly.
So coming out the pocket even be irking me.
Work with me man. I brought "the work" with me.
Got the hood leanin' like I brought the real "purp" with me.
Aww that line's for the homies on the turf with me.
With words I be a Hybrid-Hannibal-Hurcules on work release.
I work with thieves making it worse for me.
I'm alert. I should twirp, then smirk like a jerk and leave.
Hit the spot, grab the mic.
Get berserk with me!

Come one come all
Y'all don't wanna miss this one.
We gon' get down. You're too uptight.
If you gon' step into a groove like this one
make sure your kicks are laced up tight.
Get loose and have a good time with this one.
We gon' get down. You're too uptight.
If you gon' step into a groove like this one
make sure your kicks are laced up tight
