about

The spiritual successor of Since Thunderstorm from 2007's The Mind's Mixtape volume Three, which detailed the 2 year gap between releases.

This song details the 9 year gap since the release of my debut album Soon You'll Understand to now.

lyrics

From all the angles, leave it tangled, I'm ahead of myself
Yeah I know a thing or three got a knowledge of wealth
Year 2023, still learning myself
But as I get older, I'm finally asking for help
But let's see, exactly where I been at
9 years since SYU, I appreciate that
New fans are happening every day
I was 'posed to drop the mic and walk away
And I have, MC became daddy
Aaliyah is 8 and she, impresses daily
Plus she always singing, she a breath away
Remind me and her mom of Billie Holliday
Me and Angel, we on year 20
Even though she still does not find me funny
And that's fine, she still puts up with me
She's the glue, keeps together family
Where's Chiv? He moved to New Zealand
And this month marks the first time I've seen him
In almost 4 years, yeah I can't believe
But more death before dishonor on the way I'm promising
Me and Monstalung connect, we have a good time
Scratch that great time, and I ain't even gotta rhyme
That's my guy, don't matter what we go through
Fountain of wisdom, my man got all the tools
Shout out to Wes and Steve and yes Easy
The Roc is still alive and off the hee-zay
We got 8 kids between us
Still got each other's backs something serious
Still podcasting with the crew
Marc Rob, Handsome Bane, what it do
Can't forget Lam or Kat or Melysette
Hyphen Podcast Group, * we ain't peaked yet
But really, what's become of me
Been trying to rap again since 2018
To put it simply, I lost all confidence
Put pen to paper, it was all nonsense
But in 2021 I found TikTok
And started duetting and learned how to rock
Found my flow and all the nooks and crannies
Without that, you don't get this insanity
That ain't vanity, I had to find my voice again
Cause in reality, I would've left my mic dead
Music is therapy, it takes away my tension
So it's good, I reopened that dimension
I gotta mention that I stopped cussing too
Not in real life but on these flow throughs
That's for dad and honest there's no difference
Don't have curse for these bars to have significance
I'm magnificent, no I really am
I am relevant, cause I say I am
I get depressed too, but I got loved ones
Tree enthusiast, that's from the Earth son
Put a hurting on em, like Khalil Mack
Still Soundvizion, yeah I bleed that
Still HY, don't care there's another Hyphen
Only one Kelen Conley, not another like 'im
I get excited sometimes so I gotta calm down
You been warned now, I'm never leaving town
Bout to be 40 and I'm still making music
Wave your age in my face if you want, you still useless.
