TRACK 7 - My Old Hood

Burger Beatz

This song is very introspective. This is me cruising through my old hood, reminiscing about my life. An ode to who I used to be. "Bitch I don't need no one, cause I could do this all night". This is me saying I could reminisce forever. I love the memories that are in my head in this moment. A case of "not everything was bad". I fell in love with the emptiness, and learned to find a version of happiness in it. Those moments of happiness meant everything to me when I had nothing else. So of course I will never forget them. Then there is the struggle of forgetting the bad times but saving the good ones. Can it even be done. Am I lying to myself? Is it ok to love those moments that used to hold me back. Am I betraying what I am trying to become?

"I don't need my ears to hear the voices in my head,

I don't need you here when I remember all you did"

I love the mellow vibe of the track. The sample fits the mood perfectly and the haunting bass line keeps everything glue together. The drums are simple, I want you to listen. I want you to feel like you are in that car, thinking my thoughts with me. Very intimate in a way, very open. The bragging rights are gone on this track. There is no one to brag to in this situation.

The lyrics page is all about reflection. Holding the memories in your hand that are long dead to everyone else but you. That realization that you are the only person who is thinking about these things, and you need to let go.
