Raw Expression 02:19

Hey, I’m fed up with the way that I’ve been living my life I can’t make it any lower, but it changes tonight Pick my battles, either way I put up my best fight Self indulgence blurred my vision, had to clear my line of sight Dead in the head, and immorally misled I think it’s time to come to terms, and put the party life to bed So I could wake up, and fully see this road to the end I don’t wanna look back thinking my years are poorly spent Yeah it’s not a long time til we’re leaving this earth The only thing I wanna stress is living up to my worth, Hey, turn myself away from a world of hurt Nah, I can’t partake in actions that’ll put me in the dirt I’m just staying alert, and I keep fighting the urge Of going over the verge, and doing something absurd There’s a reason that you gotta kick some things to the curb And I ain’t missin’ out on much, as far as I’m concerned It’s already hard enough to live up to my standards I can’t keep on carrying a weight that’s like a cancer I really wish that I did have all the answers But even then, there ain’t nothing here to skew my manners I ain’t lookin’ for no psycho-enhancers Nah, I’ve just been honing in on my MainStage banter There ain’t too much else to me at all that really matters So as long as I do me, then it’s happy ever after Yeah, I’ve lost the appetite that calls for cracking the seal Can’t be seconds from disaster, still expecting to feel Anything but pain, cuz that’s not part of the deal That’s why I chose to walk away, I won’t keep spinning the wheel Yeah, I’ve been tryna make sense, why we do this for survival Just a played out fever dream, far from primal, in denial Of our way of life, and how we treat each other so vile We just reap, take, and waste, all to appease our lifestyles So I go the extra mile, through the thin and the thick ‘Cause I don’t need an escape that’s only makin’ me sick Yeah, I love through raw expression, I don’t need any tricks I just search indie my soul when I’m lookin’ for a fix Never again, am I changing my intentions I ain’t lookin’ for attention, ‘cause I’m in my own dimension Creating the extension to my spiritual ascension The potential’s never-ending, yeah, and this is my redemption So tired, so tired So tired, so tired

The Grand Distraction 02:03
lyrics
buy track
Indoctrination to desensitization’s Led our population to a fucked up interpretation Of how we view a situation, yeah, there’s no consideration And there shouldn’t have to be a reason, or an explanation Why compassion backs an action, rather than dissatisfaction Yet it still provokes reaction when you propose some rationality Upon a blind reality, obsessed with the mentality Of pushing the normality of glorified immorality Yeah, I can’t lie, it’s getting pretty fuckin’ old Being told “It’s just the way of the world” When tragedy unfolds, ‘cause we think there’s no control And it’s easier when we ignore the problem as a whole But I really don’t have time for the societal cults Or to explain my point of view to some full blown adults You mean to tell me you ain’t never heard that Juvenal quote? It says “Give ‘em bread and circuses, they’ll never revolt” Living in a world full of distractions So what do I do? I just keep on walking People talkin’ ‘bout the causes, tryna find a way to solve it But I can’t help from thinking that there’s something we’re ignoring ‘Cause this world, it isn’t for us, and I know that we ain’t for it All the violence, and the silencing of any voice of reason Isn’t changing with the seasons, nah, it’s all the same routine Our biased ways open up the future to a life of treason And instead of fightin’ the source, we only let our hatred deepen People racin’ towards the bag, but they could never leave the bubble Always faced with the trouble of living beneath the rubble Doubling the profits of the rich throughout our struggle And I’m tired of pretending that the problem’s only subtle Yeah, it’s right in front of our faces, and it’s time for a rebuttal The pieces to this puzzle lie at the end of the tunnel That we’re forced to file into, like they put us through a funnel But I could never stop the fight, even with my bloody knuckles I could never stop the fight, even with my bloody knuckles

Better Days 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Take me back to the days of simpler ways Second grade, not a worry ‘bout the food on my plate Yeah, I know that we could never go back into that phase It’d just be nice to have a place to go where I wasn’t on a constant state of angst So I free my mind by filling time and space Yeah, this is my saving grace An open road for my thoughts to collect into this world that I create ‘Cause when I can’t shake the weight I put a pen to the paper, just so I can think straight Tryna speak to the crowd, hoping’ they can all relate But that’ll never dictate what already awaits I’m just tryna leave my mark before I meet my final date I don’t wanna be around people consumed by hate That’s not a way to live a life, and I’m not tryna debate ‘Cause I know things just ain’t the same, but it ain’t nothing to waste All the problems that we face just tell us Tomorrow’s better, yeah we’ll get through whatever ‘Cause the past is gone, but we’re still here together Down under the lights, make what we want of life Nah, I don’t need to fight for my fire to ignite ‘Cause I’m just takin’ flight, but my roots still in sight Til I get it right, til I shed the light Of the ones who fell before me, just so I could stay alive, hey Yeah, I’m carrying the torch Passed forth from the benefactors of my full reform I haven’t done a single thing, it’s just the calm before the storm And words can’t even describe the vision that I’ve had in store Forever more Bringing thoughts to life that I had never known existed In a constant twist of words, imagination unconstricted By the labels of society, and all of its restrictions Look my sound up in a book, and you won’t find a definition Yeah, this is my exhibition No remission, conditioned to living life in repetition Intuition to keep striving for my pending recognition Use my voice as a musician to take me on a higher mission ‘Cause there ain’t no changing time So I keep the past alive inside my heart, and in my mind To serve as a reminder to leave nobody behind That gave the chance to redefine the way my fate would be designed

Takin' Control 01:58

Hey, I’ve been tryna do right for my soul I’m not even stressing, I’m just waiting for the call Always moving forward, even when I trip and fall All the weight on my shoulders, but I still stand tall Keep on pullin’ myself even further out the hole Now I’m takin’ control, and I’m gonna play my role Yeah, I’m free from the chains, there’s nothing left to take hold I don’t worry anymore, I just make every day golden When I write it’s like molten hot lava, and it’s flowin’ Never slowing, always going, blowin’ up like Wyoming I can never stay in one spot, forever roaming And these clouds won’t drag me down, nah, my light keeps on glowing I can’t fall back to a life of discontent Where my mind was never present, and my loved ones came and went It took the longest time to understand what that meant And that it had to do with actions far beyond my descent Relentless to the ever-present war zone in my head No prevention on the endless road to glory that’s ahead Yeah, I’m gonna live my life beyond the existential dread Cuz I refuse to be consumed by all the bullshit that we’re fed Yeah, that much is resolved If it’s welcoming drama, I can’t be involved Only stars in my eyes as my passions evolve But I know even then, that my problems ain’t solved Nothing in life could be made playing small So no matter the size, I still get past the wall I’m not tryna go down just a number at all And I’m proving my worth in a full blown assault ‘Cause I’m fully able-bodied, I ain’t worried ‘bout no Molly Or a drink, I’m really sorry if you wanted to go party But the club, and the Bacardi, and the bar is all behind me In the car, I’m taking off, won’t let a dead end road define My world’s designed by choice, no there’s not a single voice Or a force that can come between my life and its rejoice Yeah, I’m living in a way that I could truly enjoy ‘Cause I just wanna dedicate my days to makin’ noise Said I just wanna make some noise Yeah, I just wanna make some noise

Timeless Satisfaction By the beauty created from action Yeah, I’ve been going batshit just to have it But you could never change the world just relaxing All these people going in and out of fashion ‘Cause nobody wanna stick true to their passion Everybody wanna be the latest attraction But don’t shine a light that could be everlasting But it’s become way more than just rappin’ Teach myself to believe anything could happen Yeah, I’m in my own world, and you could call me the captain Going at it til I sell out in lower Manhattan This life won’t pass me, that much is established And I ain’t stressin’ nobody to understand it Walk a path of broken glass til I’m living lavish And even after that, I’ll still be goin’ savage Like a vitamin, so vital to be up with my idols And I’m working for the title, so don’t call me entitled It’s been a while since I made the point of breaking the cycle But there’s still so much to do before I make my arrival Comin’ in in style, with a light up smile Go the extra mile just to be versatile In a world that’s designed to control your mind But they don’t got a hold of mine, it’s just a matter of time Looking at the road ahead There ain’t a single thing that I would rather do instead I’m not ‘bouta live my life just hangin’ by a thread With the mass of mindless souls who just wanna keep pretending That it’s normal to be living in a world that we see ending And in such a rapid way that it’s too late for an amending My peace isn’t depending on hoping our time’s extended I just blend the elements and live my life as I intended Ay, it’s CIO All I do is dream big, see big, but I can’t seem to break it The cycle of life that I keep on breathin’ Doin’ drugs just to cover up the dreamin’ Tone down the action just to keep on believin’ But fuck that, I’m back Been a while, I’ve been off track CIO and Davie on the attack You know you like that, yeah I’m coming in ya hood, I’m gonna spike that Can’t stop me now, I’m gonna fight back Can’t stop until I get the whole bag And I’m next, and King Davie too And we really don’t give a fuck if you think we’re cool We’re comin’ in here like we are the dudes Just to show you how we mothafuckin’ rule Yeah, this is how we rule Laying down the message, bring these duckers back to school Youngins in the game, they just actin’ like a fool With the same three words, and a mouth full of drool ‘Bouta take ‘em for a trip so we can show ‘em how we do ‘Cause ain’t nothing in my head except the absolute truth My life is a vision, and I’m making it my mission To portray a spittin’ image every time I hit the booth Timeless satisfaction Nothin’ but timeless satisfaction Timeless satisfaction Ain’t nothin’ but timeless satisfaction

about

"Timeless Satisfaction" is a concept EP that represents a journey through struggle, where you ultimately come out on the other end. In the beginning of the EP, Davie states how he's fed up with the way things have been, and how being in a low place is creating an ever-growing urgency to make a constant push towards having a better life for himself. The time has come to grow up, and put the bad habits down.
As the journey of self care continues, there's an acknowledgement that while certain problems are under control, there is still a whole world out there that can consume you in a heartbeat, if you let it. Throughout life and its obstacles, we tend to find our own ways of either dealing with the madness, or succumbing to it. It's up to us, and it lies within everything we feed into every day. Once we find the balance between what is essential and what isn't, the opportunities are endless, but none the less, it is still a constant fight.
When we get to a certain point of recovery and betterment, we sometimes find ourselves wishing certain things didn't have to change. Whether those changes are due to moving on and leaving specific environments, or simply come along as time goes on, there is a reason those things stay in the past. A memory, though, can last forever, and can serve as a reminder of where we do and don't want to be, and because of that, we can carry those memories and those feelings on forever, in whatever way we choose.
Once this realization comes to life, taking control of those negative thoughts becomes a lot more manageable, and becoming completely immersed into the positive thoughts tends to come as second nature. The process of creativity and progression flows like a river, and there's no fear on missing out on anything that doesn't hold any value. No more need to be involved in environments that aren't suitable, and especially not ones that threaten overall wellbeing.
Coming out the other end, there isn't a whole lot that can get in the way. Day to day struggles still exist, but they're a part of the process of improvement, and the process doesn't happen on its own. That makes it all the better though, because knowing that it isn't up to anyone but you is what drives you to put 120% into something that will reward you at the end of the day, no matter what. This is timeless satisfaction.
