    Gotta say, from writing to production, this EP just stands tall in your discography. Not saying older ones are bad, but this EP has a very special charm to it. Everything feels so professional but also intimate, if it makes any sense.

    I really like 2 sentences in this song:
    - "The young searching for more, become living expense"
    - "There no road loaded with silver and gold, it just a treasure you make for you"
    These two sentences scream in my face that don't just accept being used, work, then die. It motivated me to do more for myself and my family.
    Thanks Demondice for another amazing song.

    After the raw emotions and darker tone of the other three songs, this finale is so cathartic! It doesn’t shy away from, dismiss, or say good-bye to the pain and mistakes that came before, nor does it gloss over the fact that there will surely still be hard times ahead. To me, it’s a triumphant song about the serenity found in accepting the dark with the light and the inner-strength that can only be achieved through facing your demons.
    The song may be “fake ass gold” but the hook is bonafide gold. “Survive. Thrive. You are alive. Don’t let em tell ya two and two makes five.” Goddamn!
    DDK, you took that baseball bat you carry and you smashed this EP out of the park. Helluva way to kick off 2022! Thank you so much for being you, and thanks for the blood, sweat, and tears put into your music. It’s incredible, inspiring, and I love it.

  • @effortlessfury

    This song reminds me a lot of "you're an ace, kid" in it's presentation of (what I believe is) the message that despite all the weight of the past and the present, it's up to us to make the best of it and not let it drag us down. Even after all the bull that's come and gone since "Alkatraz," I find it somewhat poetic that your last song here "rhymes" with your last song there, that you've not been deterred from that mindset and you're still standing strong against it all. And to that I say, hell yeah.
    EDIT: Also I know I've certainly oversimplified the meaning, there are a lot of layers XD

    What a fantastic song to end the EP! I love how it feels like a culmination of the themes of the other songs yet adds its own message: life may be full of struggles and to reach success can take a difficult journey, but putting in the work creates your own rewards. Also, I want to bring attention to how awesome the sound effects are! They don't distract from the song, being just enough to spice it up; good additions!

      Yeah. It's a complex thing in the context of the EP as a whole. Basically it's easy to lose sight of how much you have if ambition (which is good) twists your vision into seeing only what you don't have and maybe you think you should. Also similarly, the path of struggles can blind you to the good things. It can be easy to lose sight of the people on your side if you let yourself get surrounded by negativity.

    Update after listening to more of the song: I love it. Completely up to par with all of her other works. It flows well together, rhymes perfectly in so many places and just generally sounds amazing, with the instrumental really emphasizing the lyrics to beautiful effect. This is an amazing song, just like the rest. She just doesn't miss.
    The meaning behind the lyrics to great as well, a little subtle, but still generally obvious that anyone could pick up on it.

Starting off with a venting about the struggles of the life you're living, a peek into your life so we understand what you're going through, and hearing how hard it is to handle it all, then finishing with a reminder that none of it is enough to keep you down because you're damn determined to make the most of the life you've gotten.

    A lot of people have been making comparisons to You’re an Ace, Kid, and yeah it’s very similar. But what I really like about it is that it’s kind of like an epilogue or addendum to Ace.
    Ace is about not giving up when an opportunity doesn’t live up to your expectations. Someone chased gold only to find pyrite, and it’s basically saying “keep trying and eventually you’ll find that gold!”
    This song is from someone more experienced. Someone who had coke to realize that the gold won’t bring them happiness, and that the real treasure was the friends made along the way.

    Man... that pretty much sums up where my depression has come from ever since I grew to be an adult and realized how much of everything is just a facade. I hate that we can't just be more straightforward with our _actual_ feelings in this world and every time I try to do so, I'm either ridiculed or looked at funny. It's anxiety inducing for sure.

There's so much difference between what people are told they may want and what any given person might actually value in their lives.

    I really love those last few lines. They're so uplifting and make for a great ending to the EP. It contrasts really well with the mood the rest of the EP has. Which shows not everything is doom and gloom. That sometimes the real treasure is what you have right infront of you. That being the future you make for yourself. You just gotta take initiative, be the master of your destiny. Its pretty inspirational. "There will be days of sorrow, know we'll be knowing better, there will be a tomorrow" Those really lit a fire in my heart. It makes me want to try harder, even it things are tough, because there's a better day ahead of me. That's at least what I took from those last few lines.

    This is such a freaking awesome banger. It's impossible not to groove and dance along with the song. I really do love the melancholic, yet still optimistic and uplifting theme and story to the song. It starts with all of the reasons you wanted to reach for those goals and go down this musical journey, but it also shows the legitimate dangers and personal costs of being selfish on that journey and taking advantage of people to achieve what you sought after. I like that very open and honest nature to the song. But, I love the ending and how it tells you to value the people closest to you, the ones who you support you through it all. If you can learn to recognize the true treasures in your life, like the genuine love and support of those who're there for you, you'll get farther and be more fulfilled than going for a hollow, unattainable goal or "fake ass gold." Brilliant work, DDK. I love how you can communicate such a complex and meaningful message while making a badass bop that just makes you want to dance is real talent. Thanks for this song and this entire EP. It was an amazing line up of S tier quality songs. It's great to have you back, DDK. There's no one who makes music quite like you. You're the real gold here. Also, that spoken intro to the song was the best. "When I feel like dyin, then I start rhymin." Classic DemonDice. Not cringe at all. That gave me a good laugh. Love that cheesy, goofy, yet honest side of you, DDK. Welcome back.

    Yet another track that I resonate with. Folks out there tell me that the world doesn't care about me, especially if I don't have wealth.
    I know better.
    Material wealth means nothing if it doesn't make me happy, and it doesn't.
    Life's roads are indeed barren of silver and gold, but I choose to let love and inner balance be the treasure I make for myself.
    "Don't let them tell you two and two makes five." Firmly middle-class, living paycheck to paycheck, but I deny the suits who try to give me "advice" on how to live my life, or challenge my world view. Their success with wealth is meaningless to me.
    Chase what makes you happy, never take it for granted and do not relent. Not for one second.
    Thank you Demon Dice.

    This whole EP is just filled with authenticity. Demondice took a good look at herself AND the haters, it's never written from the high horse. Overall it's piece of reflection and self-reflection, and an interesting ride all around. By the end of it, in this song, there's a heavy emphasis on owning your faults along with your accomplishments. I love it, I seriously love it. I'm not a huge fan of most rap but something this honest just hits the right spot for me.

    This song... it's basically what I'm going through now with my swimming career, as well as the person I'll be 2 1/2 years from now. I don't know what aspired you to make this song, but I know you had to go through a lot of pain and grief. This entire EP has a personality to it that I've never heard before, and I LOVE it. You're amazing. (That "for lies and Pyrite skies" hit me like a freight train. That was brilliant!)

    Maybe it's a basic thing to point out, but this EP feels like a journey, and the name fits it well. The first couple songs tell us to shut up, and this one still has that cynical sting to it, but it's got an uplifting message hiding in those bars, and you can't help but Get. Happy.

    Encouraging others by shouting hard truths is something I rarely see nowadays. With everything being "cancelled" for even a hint of controversy, I can't say I hear many grounded speeches with the bandage being torn straight off, and it's somewhat more encouraging to know someone else acknowledges the harshness of reality with a spin that allows that message to be used as motivation and a drive to keep moving forward in such a harsh reality.

    I won't pretend to know what's going through DD's mind. But to me, this reminds me that I got comfortable because I'm living easy. I forgot about the mountain I had to climb to get here. I'm just now waking up to see the higher peaks I've yet to reach, but the fire is back. That pitch made of big dreams and heartbreak burns hot, all it takes is a spark.

    I like the feeling of "the journey is hard but it's also the best part" the song gives me.
    I think out of the four this one is the one that will make me want to dance the more while walking on my way to my destiny.

    One thing that always worries me about artists when they release new songs is that they lose that essence that characterizes them, that makes them unique and that what their songs attracted me, but with DD, song after song that she presents us, she does nothing but put the bar higher and higher, I fell in love with alkatraz and her whole album, then I discovered american saikoro and her other songs falling more and more on her dice.
    With this new EP I have no doubt that you will become that "Diamond star" of ace kid. Great job Karen.
