I spent most of my life rapping, a big part of which is writing. Before I was a rapper, I wrote poetry from as early as I can remember. I have written hundreds of songs, thousands of poems/verses, and many other fun things that I will include here such as: magic spells, vegan taco recipes, stories, and much more!
I am very excited to release this DIY manual for indie artists, musicians, singers, comedians, and more!
Down a steep and weedy slope, was a place the parents said "do not go!"
A tall wall of shrubs and trees, but if you squeeze...
You can get through the grove.
Where the air is different, with the fresh smell of dew.
And the only sound is the creek and you.
There's rocks, water, and small critters,
So much timber the sun barely shines through.
The dogs bark, the teens laugh,
Long ago in times past,
My best friends we grew up too fast,
Down under the canopy, the mother's tummy, of the gully.
"The Gully" painting and poem
I am the endurer
My pain and sacrifice comes from love and can't be purer
And no matter what the world throws at me
Every rain drop of pain gets counted like a rosary
And no one's ever chosen me or missed me
Never been anyone's favorite mostly
Been thrown up in the mix
I look like every other dude with a hat
I don't even exist
I said half-jokingly
While choking on my own emotions
Don't worry I will shove them down my throat again and hold them
Because the rain drowns my feelings
But I'd rather flame them up and roast them
Grind them into dust roll them in a blunt and smoke them
The truth is life is a test
How much pain can you endure and still feel blessed
Still feel grateful for all of the rest
Wake up every morning and give the whole world your best
When the rain is all you know...
Unleashed, I am the dog that won't leave
often viewed as a beast, and I will agree.
I am ugly to me.
But my family finds beauty in my loyalty
because I stay by your side, even when told to wait outside
unleashed, I am the dog that won't leave
and if we encounter dangers and foes
I will not leave, I will not go
because family is the only thing that I know
unleashed, wherever you are, that place is my home.
a bird with no sky is not a bird complete
like a bear with no mountain or a fish with no sea
the rat needs its trash, the giraffe needs its view
and a bird without sky, is how I feel without you
Slinking and scurrying, flying their flag
their tail-fluff winks at me, waves and wags
chattering and chirping, raging mad
until I give them their peanuts
then they smile oh so glad.
They nibble and thank me, and hold in both hands
their protein that gives them the energy
to run amongst plants
and chase for days, and run and play
so cute and fluffy
squirrels are so great!
The mountain towers humble, unwavering in zen
it's been this way since, I don't know when
through wind, water, and fire the mountain still stands
as I believe should the morals of men.
Un-moveable inert, a juggernaut, and stoic
awe-inspiring, the perfect fruit for a poet
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
These are my life's wishes
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
a champion without a belt
I miss Barbz today
I really wish he didn't pass away
I wish my mom didn't have to get her head shaved
I wish the cancer would just take me instead
Cause I ain't got nobody at home just an empty bed
I wish I wasn't so poor I wish I had more
I wish I could afford just to go to the store
I wish I had some better food and some better shoes
I'm just a broken man with a broken van and I got nothing to lose
That's why I do what I do I chase dreams
Waking up is the nightmare cause right here
I ain't got a dang thing
How'd it get so bad, how did so much time pass
They say hard times don't last, they say it through a mask
As I laugh but really ain't nothing funny
So much smoke in the air that it's cloudy when it's sunny
So I copped this beat from the homie Profit Money
I'm still trying to flip nothing into something
These are my daily struggles, these are my life's wishes
That's why I like to tussle, it's the only time I'm winning
A born fighter, a champion without a belt
An empath with no path so many emotions felt
These are my daily struggles, these are my life's wishes
That's why I like to tussle, it's the only time I'm winning
A born fighter, a champion without a belt
An empath with no path so many emotions felt
So I keep skating, cause life it goes on
even if the love of your life is gone
you can press pause on this song but you can't press rewind on the time
I'm only lying when I tell you I'm fine, but in my mind I'm just dying
I'm tired of crying tired of losing all my friends
I'm tired of losing all of my ends and all of my hands
But I guess that's just the hand I was dealt
Three 6's of spades and one king
all these emotions felt, but I ain't felt one thing
That's why I stay hidden in my hole
Yeah I miss the old world this one ain't got no soul
It's been sold for a bunch of lies that been told
So now I stay in my fold, I don't kick it with people I don't know
I don't really feel like anybody knows me
I've lived a lot longer than I thought but I'm not home free
My best homie Spade he died last week of liver disease
But every time I saw him we would just drink!
These are my daily struggles, these are my life's wishes
That's why I like to tussle, it's the only time I'm winning
A born fighter, a champion without a belt
An empath with no path so many emotions felt
These are my daily struggles, these are my life's wishes
That's why I like to tussle, it's the only time I'm winning
A born fighter, a champion without a belt
An empath with no path so many emotions felt
Uh, the struggle is real, put your hands up if you can't pay your bills and feel how I feel
Uh, the struggle is real, put your hands up if you feel like I feel
Uh, the struggle is real, put your hands up if you can't pay your bills and feel how I feel
Uh, the struggle is real, put your hands up if you feel like I feel
These are my daily struggles, these are my life's wishes
That's why I like to tussle, it's the only time I'm winning
A born fighter, a champion without a belt
An empath with no path so many emotions felt
These are my daily struggles, these are my life's wishes
That's why I like to tussle, it's the only time I'm winning
A born fighter, a champion without a belt
An empath with no path so many emotions felt
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
These are my life's wishes
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
These are my daily struggles
a champion without a belt

Meant to Be Lyrics
(Chorus 1):
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
I love the road, I love doing shows,
I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.
I love the road, I love doing shows,
I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.
I love the road, I love doing shows,
I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.
I love the road, I love doing shows,
I love my sisters and bros in one place that’s real love you know.
(Verse 1):
I cross that threshold ha, spit like I got a chest cold and I, sometimes I gotta let go of my, anxiety, cause I’m trying to fly. I fly by no matter the weather I, get high lets get high together, I’ve survived and I’ve survived better, while all my friends are only getting deader! So cheers to the ones that remain, and here’s to you all that came, and thanks to you at least one soul has been saved, this debt can never be repaid. This present is gift, this moment we only get once, so let’s stay up and let’s have some fun!
CHORUS REPEAT
(Verse 2):
I’m that couch surfer, city to city I mic-murder, beyond burger, dedicated server, wander-er, I’ve come so far, but I’ve gone further. I showed them all, said I wouldn’t go nowhere, I got a show tomorrow, I got a show today, I’m on tour right now, hitting the radio, flying over seas I got shows to play! And I love seeing my peeps, everywhere I’m stickering streets, home cooked meals every night, every city is a home town to me. Never been about the money to me this life has been about spreading art, and making memories sharing a feeling that you get from the heart! I got a minivan, and a gas card, and a passport, I got mad skills, and everywhere I go I can rap for money, I can hustle merch and I can pay bills. I’m a made man, self made but no 401K, I’m already old and I’m gray, but I’m not retiring today hey hey!
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
If it’s meant to be it will be, right now it’s just you and me, I’m about as happy as I ever been, I’m about as happy as I can be.
Meant to Be is a gLife song off the Master of Flow EP, is has been added to over 50 Spotify playlists since Jan 1, 2020. Produced by gLife's long time friend Nu3tron at Tomorrow Kids Production in LA, CA; USA
“Too Good” by gLife from the album “All I Know” by gLife guitar and keys: Taylor Richards of Royal Bliss produced by LAM and Taylor Richards
ERIN: Hi babe it's me, I'm just calling to say hi, and to tell you how much I love you. And... I can't imagine my life without you, ever. I want to be with you forever and ever. Call me later, bye.
gLife: [CHORUS] Now I can see, what everyone else has seen, and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me.
[VERSE 1] She's too good, she's too young, I heard a lot of “too”'s from.. I'm too sprung, too high strung, but we come as one on the futon. Now who's wrong, when they said that nice girl ain't going to fall in love with me, She deserves a family, not somebody who went from chasing dragons to dreams. She does nice things, helps the world. Met her at “the J” with the boys and girls, hug her everyday gave her toys and pearls, mud on my face when she chose him first but... Someone like her worth trying twice, every single night 'till we got it right. Now our time came back around, You and me going to have a wonderful life.
[CHORUS]
Now I can see, what everyone else has seen, and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me, you're too damn good for me.
[VERSE 2] Everything that, everyone told me, never turn back, you always hold me down when the clouds turn brown and gray, and every single clown is wearing a sad face you're always there to turn around and say that everything will be okay. And I know that I been for so long, waiting for you just to hold on, you and me together, we so strong. And we'll be together forever, but I know that's so wrong.
[CHORUS] Now I can see, what everyone else has seen, and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me.
[BRIDGE] You're too damn good for me, you're amazing when you breathe, everything you do and all you be, you're too damn good for me.
You're too damn good for me, you're too damn good for me...
[GUITAR SOLO by Taylor Richards of Royal Bliss]
[CHORUS] Now I can see, (I can see) what everyone else has seen (what they see, what they see), and I know just what they mean, you're too damn good for me.
[BRIDGE] You're too damn good for me, (and now.....) you're amazing when you breathe (I can breathe...), everything you do and all you be, you're too damn good for me.
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) You're too damn for me, you're too damn good for me. (Come on, come on, come on, come on) You're too damn for me, you're too damn good for me.
Too Good was a love song off the All I Know album from 2013, it was co-produced by LAM of Self Expression Music and Taylor Richards of Royal Bliss. Written by gLife, it went rather un-noticed as the harder more grimey songs took the limelight and drove the album to #2 on the US college/indie charts and #8 on the Canada indie charts, paving the way for gLife's future tour in Canada via Indie Week Canada 2014, 2015, and 2017.
Man of Stone Lyrics
(Chorus 1):
I am the man of stone, all my friends have died or they left me all alone, there was once a heart here, now it’s gone, I’m just the man of stone.
I am the man of stone, they can’t break me down and take my flesh and bone, I stand strong as a mountain, if I stand alone, I’m just the man of stone.
(Verse 1):
I watched my best friend pass, Matt did, put my hand on his head in a casket, had so many questions I asked him, but he didn’t answer them. I see him in my dreams, like I always did, ever since I was a kid cause me and him we were best friends. And Brazie too he was a crazy dude and mad bold, but the world got mad cold and they both died at like 32. And we all miss them but I understand that this life sucks, and I’ll see em soon enough if I can’t shake all this bad luck.
(Bridge 1): Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye. Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye.
It isn’t getting any easier, it isn’t getting any easier… it’s been a long long life…
(Verse 2):
Now, some might say I suffered heart break, but I say that’s karma, it doesn’t mean that it’s not trauma, but I don’t need pharma, and my momma, just beat cancer of the third kind, she didn’t deserve any of it, now she’s on borrowed time. Sometimes I think the world’s too much and I can’t breathe, I get so angry I don’t eat so lonely I don’t sleep. And it hurts that so many people purposefully hurt me, so I dig my grave and decorate it beautifully worthy.
Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye. Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye.
I am the man of stone, all my friends have died or they left me all alone, there was once a heart here, now it’s gone, I’m just the man of stone.
“Voices” by G-Life - off the album "My Rise" available HERE
(I gotta go right now)
I got so many feelings bottled up inside some nights I cry, some nights I want to die (I gotta go right now) Cause my anxiety's hiding inside of me why and every word I'm hearing is lies (I gotta go right now) I don't even know which way to go I can't stop moving I'm losing abusing confusion (I gotta go right now) I'm fucking depressed so out of it I don't want to get out bed I'm tossing and turning these voices inside of my head (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now) (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now)
I can't stand still and I can't stand pills, I smoke an ounce a day for reals now I can't pay bills add that shit to the list of shit I want to kill I'd pull that trigger for real but it'd give me no thrill I'd feel nill I'm too fucking broke to buy an ill grill but I have the smarts and skills to have life insurance and a will quill cause all I need is a meal and some steel wheels but I ain't afraid to Holyfield like the real deal cause I be fighting all day and night in my nightmares and I'll be coming to your house if the fight's there my might's rare I might need eyewear cause I see no fear hand me that lighter lets cheef right here
crack that beer cause I like to drown my emotions in poison and liquor it makes me sicker and sicker and quicker and quicker they see in my eyes the pain but the passion don't flicker, and I should be dead but momma didn't raise no quitter
I got so many feelings bottled up inside some nights I cry, some nights I want to die (I gotta go right now) Cause my anxiety's hiding inside of me why and every word I'm hearing is lies (I gotta go right now) I don't even know which way to go I can't stop moving I'm losing abusing confusion (I gotta go right now) I'm fucking depressed so out of it I don't want to get out bed I'm tossing and turning these voices inside of my head (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now) (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now)
Can't stop pacing my minds racing these dudes that are hating man I can't even blame them I'm raging I'm hating myself I don't know why I want to die I'd commit suicide right now if it weren't for family that survive (life is hell) some things I've done I can't take back I'm sorry I forgive you I can't say that It's a wrap it's been ruined I laid traps I said screw it I'm trying to make things right but it'd take like a million years to do it I blew it I don't even know who it is in my reflection I want to forget and press reset but I cant because it ruined my whole fucking life I want punishment I want the knife I want it twice I want to make things right so I fight every night and I hate saying I hate myself but it's true and I hate fucking up all the time but I do that's why I drink and do drugs and I screw there's no excuse that's why I lose
I got so many feelings bottled up inside some nights I cry, some nights I want to die (I gotta go right now) Cause my anxiety's hiding inside of me why and every word I'm hearing is lies (I gotta go right now) I don't even know which way to go I can't stop moving I'm losing abusing confusion (I gotta go right now) I'm fucking depressed I'm so out of it I don't want to get out bed I'm tossing and turning these voices inside of my head (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now) (voices inside of my head) (I gotta go right now)
