It’s just me, the beat and whatever I got inside taking that chance and lighting up the moment. Ringlight, no second takes and my phone camera. Just raw words spilling from the corner of my sweet lips, right before I hit play on the instrumental of Before I Go by Kodak Black and Rod Wave. That song be heavy, like it knows something about my life so I had to run it up with my flows because you know what I'm about when it comes to that but before the instrumental fill the room took the shot and then it’s my voice I need to hear all the way cos I'm the one owning it now. My own truths, my own fight. So I freestyle and enjoy the time like I have always had. Right there in my parlor, in the stillness of the day with my soul wide open and just building up that words and feeling it also because you know legend never miss the chance to create an amazing content.
I don’t write nothing down just me speaking like I was in another world with myself, feel that inner rhythm rise up from my chest, and let go everything out through my mouth. My mind racing with everything I seen and done can't lie so much to say but I had to keep it short because more songs and more freestyles on deck for Hive and the world. Everything I’m still running from just because I was afraid to face them is now in my control on God 🙌. Every bar is like therapy as usual but it's rugged ain’t no pretty metaphors, just pain, more overcomes and dreams I ain’t damn scared to chase down anymore.
"I'm never fearing bout the game I'm getting it,
I'm put my heart in everything that I'm doing said ain't nobody taking me from all of my achievements, I'm put on God in every positions I'm running in..."
My voice getting more power as I go with it, like I'm drawing energy from where I don't know but I definitely loved it for real. That’s the thing about pain it either keeps you quiet or makes you roar. Daylight, I’m roaring like I was more powerful than the lions.
This ain’t just a freesyle to play with. It’s my life in motion. I’ve seen too much, felt too deep but I always keep a smile cos ain't no pains or losses gonna change me from keeping it positive. Nights sleeping with thoughts that don’t let me rest. Days fighting with doubts, tryna prove to myself I got what it takes cos I had the Spirit in me telling me that one day it will happen. So I let the beat carry me through it. My words ain’t fixed like you went to mechanic, they’re real. Raw like the streets I grew up in and still in because I wanna make a difference. Like the broken promises that raised me. Like the silence after funerals that you can't just miss out on.
"Nobody understand the days I was lonely ’,nobody was there when I was tryna get it on,
Everybody looking at me disappointment but I always know that I'm getting it men, then the chorus flowed in “Everybody is gonna die before I go x4...
Though the beat fades low but my hunger grows louder. I’m in a zone, pacing the room like a caged mind that finally broke free and ready to make the best out of everything in this world. I ain’t trying to be the hardest. I’m just tryna be heard because I truly believe that I have a lot to share with everyone and also share other stories of people who I know that might not have the courage to let people know about theirselves. Trying to remind myself that I matter before the world tells me something else.
The thing is, Before I Go hits different. Kodak and Rod Wave they speak my language for real. Not just the street talk, but the emotion in it too. That fear of leaving before you really lived. Before you proved yourself that I am capable of doing great things just like those two rapstars. Before anything else I had to find peace in God's presence and then fire up that spirit within to make it unique. So while I freestyle it. I remind myself deep in me that I’m still here. Still fighting. Still writing my story and I'm not going to switch it off.
I spit about the pain friends gone, time lost, mistakes that haunt me. Either way, it’s truth. And I ain’t never scared of truth that's how I kept my life so real no matter how it rolls out with me.
In this moment, I ain’t a nobody. I’m a voice. A vessel. A future legend still in the making. Ain’t nobody gotta believe in me right now because I do. And that’s enough for me to know.
Sometimes I think about all the people I’ve lost because they wasn't here very deep for me to forget. To the ones who never got the chance to chase their dreams. The ones who never had the chance to speak their truths out to the people who were around them and to the world also. Every steps that I take is all for us till the end of the world and that's a promise for sure.
I finally stop, sweat on my forehead, but peace in my chest because I spoke my way through with the facts and I will keep it up on that way. This freestyle isn’t perfect, but it was me real, flawed, and fearless. That’s the kind of art I want to make and keep making till I meet my Maker. That’s the kind of man I want to be and I will always be for life.
As I listen to myself being done with everything, I nod, not just to the rhythm, but to all i made with this beat I just spit. Like, yeah I feel this. I lived this. I’m still living it. But I ain’t going nowhere. Not yet. I got more to say. More to give. More to prove and More to achieve 🚀 ❤️.
So before I go, I’ll keep freestyling. Keep fighting. Keep rising. Because every verse I drop is a heartbeat. And I ain’t done living yet till the Lord says it is done for me. More life and prosperity to everyone who watches this video and read this description too.
