about

"IMAGINE" started out as a verse that I posted on social media. I posted a clip on IG, Youtube, and Tik Tok, and it started getting a response from my audience. People started asking if the song was out yet. I took this as a sign to finish and release the track.

It's about being at the bottom. I was completely wiped out after the holidays and new year (2022-2023) and I wanted to put my situation into a song. It's about lifting yourself out from the bottom. It's "mindset rap" for people who need it.

Lately, I’ve been trying to go beyond braggadocios lyricism, and into the realm of deeper storytelling and subjects that go beyond just myself.

Thanks for listening.

lyrics

Lately I've been at the bottom
Everything been such a problem
But never did think about stopping
Or putting the nail in the coffin
If you have been struggling often
Encourage you just to imagine
Yourself on a beach relaxing
Giving yourself compassion

Suddenly I'm rising to the top and I'm adapting
Everything I really truly wanted now is happening
Steadily I'm thinking that these thoughts might be attracting
Things I always wanted but I had to take the action

Now that you really attained it
Now you just gotta sustain it
Put in the work and be patient
You might just be waiting for payment
If it's not broken don't change it
Stack it all up and just save it
Then you could say that you made it
But only if you can maintain it

Look how much can happen in the moments that you're crafting
Fame before fortune but fortune comes from passion
Most of these people acting so they can get reaction
Tryna ride every wave but they all will come crashing

Lately I have just been creating collecting it all and saving
Getting to what I've been craving never distracted debating
Just practicing getting the cadence separating from the laymen
Seeking out inspiration but never just sitting there waiting

Gotta stay prepared never know who you're next to
Once you get to a certain level they will test you
That's when you gotta win them over with your best move
Better stay ready for the universe to bless you
