The Second Track to the Mixtape "Cracked the Codes" originally released in 2016.
Instrumental Produced by "Only Beats With Hooks"
Hey Guys, Before my break, I spoke about being a creative. Here is what I do. This is my creative outlet. I am a rapper located in Adelaide, Australia. I love to make music, I'm working on beat making currently but I have a strong focus on lyrics.
In the time I wrote this, I was dealing with some heartbreak. A topic common amongst most people once we hit the age of maturity. There were days wherein I could not sleep, not get out of bed, found myself unmotivated, unempowered and to be bunt: pathetic. I WAS A MESS
What got me through was being able to find something that I really enjoyed and looked up to; Music, rap and finally do something about it. For years I had written songs, poems and other pieces of creative notes (for a lack of better term). I never saw the true value in being creatively free.
I decided to harness this, grab my microphone (A gaming headset at the time) and just keep trying to match the lines to the music. I went through one EP before I decided to release anything online, I created my second EP ever (First official EP) and launched it. This was called Cracked The Codes an appropriate title considering at the time of release, _I had finally found a way to heal myself, be productive, creative and most of all (most importantly) give something back to music. _
Fellow Steemians, I want to encourage you today to find what helps you heal. Find that thing you love. Once you find it, never let it go. They say you never forget your first, mine? Music.

Lyrics:
I look at my Reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
I’m losing my mind on eternity
And then I left the real me on the shelf. Oooh
I’m staring at my own reflection, no complexion
I mean who’s the kid I’m representing got no respect and
What the fuck am I doing to myself, I’ll eat an early grave
Who the fuck will I be, anxiety keeps me from being brave
And the confidence and courage almost feels too lost
My happy go luck nature just happened to be the cost
I mean I used to see a king, wanna rule the world
Now I’m lucky to leave my bed, just watch “my Name is Earl” man
At least he’s got his damn shit together and
I just wish I could do what he does in the day to day and
Make people laugh or cry, at least they feeling something
Coz I’m sitting here alone and cold, man I’m feeling nothing
The world was my ouster that’s how I used to feel
Why should I destroy myself when I should rebuild
Sometimes life just gets to hard it makes me wanna quit
I even thought about fuckin this game and just losing the spit.
I look at my Reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
I’m losing my mind on eternity
And then I left the real me on the shelf. Oooh
I never really ever like to point fingers believe but
All this messed up shit starts when you leave
You always found a way to be so damn consistent
Up each and every night feeling pain coz I missed it
I had this one shot and damn I just left it
I was a my peak and fuck I still regret it
You told me you were gone, I was just about to lose it
Trapped in my hysterics you said you wished it wasn’t true
Each and every time I leave a message or a call
I always hear you voice mail and it drives me up a wall
And off the bridge into the water of an eternal abyss
But in the midst of all this shit you turned into a bitch
The fall feels forever, it just keeps going on
And hell seems better than trying to make this strong
And trying to make this work, you’re a jerk I hope you hear it
I mean why would you lead me on for years and just leave it
I look at my Reflection in the mirror (I look at my reflection)
Why am I doing this to myself? (tell me why do I do this to myself)
I’m losing my mind on eternity (Losing my mind, I’m losing my mind)
And then I left the real me on the shelf. (Yo) Oooh
