  • A year ago my friend was killed. This song wasn’t made to make anyone sad or angry about what happened, but was written as a reflection of Sam's positive impact on my life. I wrote this song right after I found out. Its hard to lose someone who helped me get through so much in life but I didn't want to keep feeling that emptiness. If it wasn't for him I don't know where I would be. Music has always been how I've coped with things and to anyone who's feeling this kind of pain I hope you hear this. There’s too much hate on this planet.
    If you’ve ever lost someone close to you and are struggling to keep fighting, just know it gets better. This is for you.

    THIS is Hop-Hop. The amount of heart and soul put into this is perfect, keep doing what you do and always remember, the greatest people often come from the rockiest and roughest starts.

    Lyrics:
    I remember days
    I remember nights
    Taught me be myself
    That was great advice
    And you ain't never care
    Bout who I'm gonna be
    Cause you just always saw the fire that was under me
    I remember Cudi
    I remember blessed
    When you played that song
    I was so depressed
    Really pulled me back
    Things could be worse
    You the only person I could talk to that didn't sound rehearsed
    But now that you gone
    Had to make all these songs
    And act like I ain't give a fuck and act like ain't nothing wrong
    Cause all that happy shit sell
    And all the that other shit don't
    And in the back of every thought I have I'm scared I'm still broke
    But fuck it. Rather get it out then get a check for some fake shit
    I know nobody gonna be proud. Don't even think that I'll make it
    If I'm living on the couch at least I'm not on the pavement
    If you was still up in the crowd could give a fuck if I'm famous
    All my teachers kicked me out and told me stop being loud
    Sniffing Whitney chris'in brown go tell em look at me now
    Cause I'm a product of myself and I'm bout half way there
    Before you judge me better go and take a look in the mirror
    Never lived a day if you just worried bout the days a coming
    Never seized the night unless you got that new Marcellus bumpin
    Toot my own horn. Save my money. Man they gotta love it
    Took a Chance on building up these walls
    Call that Donnie trumpet
    Hook:
    Can’t get it out my head
    Stay on my mind
    They all just said
    That it get better with time
    It’s not about love no more say
    I been feeling so numb no more pain
    Can’t get it out my head
    It’s no ones fault
    The light don’t shine
    Without a little bit of dark
    I been living everything that we dreamed up
    When we was walking down that road. Nandina

    This might just be my opinion, but I think this dude right here is really underrated. He should have way more than 12k views! He should have way more recognition for his music. His sounds are just so... I don't even know but I got in love by his music and the way he can pass us some of his pain, but also some joy. I dare to say he is 1000x better than XXX.
    If you see this Drex, much love from Portugal, keep doing your thing and delivering us some great sounds like this one.

He helped me feed my brothers and my mom when we had no money. He stayed when we had no power and had to candle light our apartment . He stepped as more than a person I can consider a friend. He helped me survive and I will never turn my back on this man.. 11 years later and he’s my roommate . I love him as a human
