Karma Legend

(album: Powderhorn Suites - 2020)

Bone dry, bone dry
Gave everything I could but
Won't die, won't die
Tough motherfucker, hallelujah
Looking back at all the years I probably shoulda gave up
Maybe the thing I'm best at is I just know how to get up
It's taken too long for me to let myself have my own back
My hunger won't let me eat [?] has no time for reflection, that's just a fact

I have become a legend
Realized in a moment of stillness
Never thought I'd be a legend
All the work, all the blood, all the time spent

No I mean straight up, I spent my whole career thinking I wasn't shit, basically, to myself
I wouldn't, I wouldn't give myself props, you know what I mean?
Cause it was like, nah I mean, it was like the struggle I had to, I had to...
I was surviving, you know what I'm saying? But I also had to thrive
Like, that was my goal
Like I was so ambitious
You know I wouldn't let myself have a moment of reflection, or like of peace, you know what I'm saying?
Cause I could also look at that like it's a moment of weakness or rest, you know what I'm saying?
So, but eventually, you know what I'm saying, allowing myself to be proud of myself was a huge weight off my back, you know what I mean?
Like it was one of the most intense moments of my life
Granting myself that moment, like, it wasn't about...
And look, granting myself that moment, it was not about pride or narcissism or anything like that, you know what I'm saying?
It was about being tender to myself
Recognizing all that fucking torturous work, sacrifice
You know, all the shit I'd been through over the last decade, or whatever like, it might have actually been worth it
You know what I mean?
So it was me basically in front of the mirror with a simple well done, I'm proud of you
You know what I mean?
And it took over a decade to get to that point

I have become a legend
Realized in a moment of stillness
Never thought I'd be a legend
All the work, all the blood, all the time spent
I have become a legend
Realized in a moment of stillness
Never thought I'd be a legend
All the work, all the blood, all the time spent
