about

This song is a celebration of me being comfortable in my own skin, owning who I am and encouraging others to do the same. My outward appearance is a reflection on the inner work I have done on myself to be a healthy black man full of love and joy in a world where he is portrayed as the contrary. It's also a demonstration that good music has no age and is not just a "young person's game". I am older, wiser, and in the prime of my life now. Feeling Betta Than Eva with no plans to slow down.

lyrics

Saturday fresh fade up out the barber chair
You can tell the Era in stuck in because the part is there
The beard glistening like the arm of a Silverback with volume
Think I need a cigar and some killer 'gnac
Fresh Tim's black tee a walking Dilla track
Fresh mint black tea I outta fill a sack
And let it steep for a minute thinking bout all the bills I stacked
The energy's on E need a moment to fill it back
Take a Sip of the liquid meditation
'Cause later we celebrating with spirited libations
Pour a little out for the homies and ancestors who watch over
Tipsy I'm not sober
Off of the top
You would have thought it was 31st October
Horseman to these Icabod Cranes
Sick of the spitting the same
Everyone lit but the flame
Flickering only for fame with no classics to your name
I'm trying to leave behind a catalog a legacy an outline of my life
A data log a registry
It's bout time that I write a memoir but in the meantime I leave the gems in the bars of music and let it be
I lead my example
Preach with no pulpit
Listen with no judgment
Everything is bullshit
Rocking the Emperor's new clothes through my poems
I'm way familiar with sinning so I ain't throwing no stones
Love the man in the mirror the world could use a few clones
Birds eye view expanding my vision with no drone
Hitting my stride felt like it took forever
In the prime of my life now
Feeling betta than eva
Yeah
Feeling betta than eva
