so, its highly possible that i dont think before i speak, or at least not enough. some of the shit i say (usually when joking or just filling empty spaces in conversations) can easily be taken the wrong way or as a serious statement. i mean, i feel like sarcasm is a universal thing and can be easily detected...however, i know some people dont get it. the hard part is keeping that in mind in certain situations. the worst/sometimes the funniest part is when you realize it as soon as its said or when you notice the other person has taken it the wrong way. sometimes you dont even notice until youre out of the situation. makes you think...dont it?
and this brings me to my next...point? i guess its not a "point" but more of a statement that connects to the topic of the previous paragraph. so, as an artist (rapper, writer, poet, whatever), im becoming nervous that some of the shit i say in my music will be taken the wrong way. i know, thats the whole point of art, but...well, heres an example. i wrote this song over the summer about this predicament i was in and i had a very strong view on it. one of the lines is "i've noticed i could never love nobody else/im too busy loving life and to busy loving myself." at the time i really felt that way...and i still do. i mean, i really love the shit outta myself, but now i like to think im ready to pursue something outside of myself. i guess i just feel like when people here that theyre going to automatically think thats how i always feel, even tho (in this case) the song was written months ago. i cant change it because that was real shit and its like (prepare for cliche in 3...2...) a snapshot of my life at the time. i almost wish i could issue a disclaimer or something. i guess, in a way, it just forces me to continue writing in order to keep people up to date with whats going on in my head.
another connection: i truly believe that like...the first 5 songs from V2L will be some of the realest words ive ever written/spoken/recorded/delivered to the public. and from what i have for Volume 3 already (yeah, i know, i havent even recorded all of V2L yet), its going to continue. i mean, im all down for hard verses and punchlines and whatever, but it just feels great to get out real feelings and issues through rap...or any medium really.
and that reminds me! my new exclusive, Lights Out (It's Been A Long Year) is something i am really proud of. if you havent listened to it yet, please do! and i would really love it if you would let me know what you think. please and thank you!
