"Feds know exactly where I got my hands from

And even though my bag empty

Feds know exactly where I got these pants from

And check them family files"

For some reason it won't let me highlight and share to the notes the normal way but i had to share this beat. yall gotta go outside and learn to hear the rhythms.

This is dope from the title to the last line. For real. I like how the layers of family history come in here. And how many histories are being played out. I really like your vocals on here too the mix is really good.

Also, I’m about to get on a flight and I’m already anticipating the anxiety that comes with being searched and belonging. Very timely for me.

yeah hopeless knows about Magnetic cause of me. I sent her his first joint like this that he pushed out. A lot of people she be ignoring and she is a dope AF poet. She kinda does the insult routine somtimes like i do and it can be misinterpreted, but she def likes Magnetics work and wouldnt really hate on it if she didn't. she would say nothing like she usual does about anything. and she makes fun of Substack a lot. her target is how wack the owners of substack are.

lol the hopeless exchange deleted as i was writing out my response. I think the joke was she was making fun of Substack. That they would do to his talent what the recording industry would do to him as a rapper. that's how i took the joke.

yk I thought that until it was described as a “LOVE PEOPLE” package and I thought does she mean black people package ?? and why would a spoken word get reduced to a rap that substack need to act as a record label and sign a nigga for?

This was worth waiting most of the day to listen to, holy shit kid. Please stop making me feel old and dumb. Airport security like that, and I know I'm white, but it's nothing new to me. It was never a random pick, it was the dopeman dreads and the Adidas hoodie, tiger stripe BDUs and a first class ticket domestic paid with cash? How much money can you legally carry on a plane before you get tagged? Oh is she with you, pull her aside and we'll search her bag, is it just a coincidence that you have exactly ten racks a piece or is this a money move, DEA isn't here, you're different alphabet soup, let me onto my flight, I should be getting my first bourbon while everyone not first class passes and boards, wondering what kind of fucked up trash or "who should I know?" is that white boy next to the ballerina in first (always low, never middle) class. (Fly Delta, keep climbing.)

Also, why the fuck do you make me think in near rhyme? Goddammit. Everyone else in this comments section, enjoy your flight, whether literal, listening, or reading.

Been seeing ARC's notes in my feed while I was having a day getting ready for the snow.
