STARVING ARTIST

Oh Recoechi

Another day my mama

Say take one day at a time

Another day I concentrate

To put hope in the grind

Another day I struggle just to

Keep a piece of mind

With this inner beast of mine

I'm seeing triple 7's on a license plate

Angel touch, I know my fate in sister's way

Operating off the 5 P's of

God's love and grace

But I still fall short

Up in this human race

What it's like being

An independent artist in 2024

You really penny pinching

Fantasizing about these awards

They fighting for some pennies

Just for streaming up in the cult'

You gotta keep it thuggin dawg

As long as you moving forward

The grind done turned me to a fiend

My hopes put behind my actions

Thirsting for the green

Label work, broad chasing

Is halted too extreme

Working in 5 places just to pursue a dream

Sacrificing what I want

For everything I need

We need that music

It's the statement when I hit the scene

Dawg, been waiting on your first sh*t for 2 years

It's new breed and new gears

And you only got 6 songs to stream

Preparation prevents poor performance

I was working like 5 jobs trying to make

This sh*t happen

And still ain't got a dollar to my

Motherf*ckin name as I'm in this booth right now

It's the work ethic dawg

And y'all weren't gonna hear from me

Unless God was speaking through me

Understand that

Last solo joint I heard was that "What Nip Say"

I respond What Nip Say?

Been taking time to triple grind

The new culture moving something special

For your own

An ecosystem something way bigger than a song

Said a texture FLAVA that a colonizer cannot clone

I free em' all with rapping negro spiritual songs
