about

One of my random instrumentals turned into a remake of Royce Diamond's "So Easy", originally released on his album "Mirrors and Smoke" in 2012. The instrumental I called "pretty minilogue-virus jam" features Elektron's Analog Rytm drum machine, and I used to perform it live. When Royce heard it just last month, he re-recorded the vocals for "So Easy" and I arranged them over the instrumental. There will be more on the way from this partnership.

lyrics

What's one more night of no sleep
If I don't write I don't eat
I used to think this life was so easy
I used to think this life was so easy

Truth be told I'm on a lonely road
I don't go where my people go
I don't roll how my people roll
I don't know who my people know
I swear to God them my people though
shots smoke Road
No looking back and no cruise control
It's a high speed chase in this music bro
Everybody I see, everybody I meet
Dj's, Rappers, Producers, Freeks
Rookies, Bookies, hustlers, Cheats,
Welcome to the industry
You see, everything is for sale barter or sweat
Everybody is connected to a connect
You've got to love it to get above of the rest
Charge it to the game and hustle off the debt
Forget better you better be the best
When it comes to the check it better be correct
your last release determines your respect
That's the curtain that leads to the stress
But you'll move merch if you're doing what works
Never forgetting that the music comes first
Nobody move nobody gets hurt
Just means you ain't putting in the purse
My industry so scattered with jerks
it's Probably one of the baddest or the worst
Ironically it's got great perks
and I love it man
I love doing the work so

Step into the sound booth no-one around you
They can't help you is what it amounts to
Gotta have that heat boy that label gone clown you
Fans want that new new only to bounce to
When you're on top theres somebody trying to mount you
Last weeks heat is this weeks old school
Need to have a new track laid in Pro-Tools
you ain't got a video nobodies gonna know you
who you sending post to homie you're just local
They aint trying to hear you if it appears you ain't global
So you need to have a plan for the fiscal
set it midnight on the first like a pistol
Life like a ritual you ain't gonna make if you trying to get through
truth of the matter ain't nobody gone miss you
Welcome to the industry
man it's pitiful they come and they go by the fist full
sound like copies few are individuals bitting like a pitfall
Wonder why their stagnant
Got a lot of content and aint nothing happening
everybody's rapping so they need an angle
Gotta have the passion something you cling to
I ain't trying to preach man gone do your thing dude
You heard it all before and got it figured out ain't you
week at the ankles and they gone hang you
This is a business it's probably gone change you
no matter how they paint you
be happy and thankful
we're living the life most only dream to, so
What's one more night of no sleep
