[MISS C-LINE] New day, building our safe place Gotta keep it moving, gotta start my day and embrace Let’s keep it tasty, never lose my cool, I’m crazy Out of control, but my life is start to face me I'm starting to feel Starting to see the things that are real Study my life and all that I'm doing But this life is gonna be ruined If I don't choose it So I chose what I need And this life ain't mine If I don't do me and I'm not feeling free, see [MISS C-LINE] Look, now what I’m gonna do, what It’s cool, but you gonna lose Someday you just gotta chose The stars over your excuse There ain't no excuses I just gotta do it This Life is a journey So I use it not abuse it Or else I’m through with this Ain't it what you wanna do? A trip to the stars, Is it what we aim for? Let us get high, we got time, A place where we can be ourselves all night! [MISS C-LINE] I just wanna be, up in space I just wanna be free. Dancing all night long, having love for the people I have never ever seen. Or the scenes maybe seem obscene But I will find out only if I leave I don't need all that shit that they give me here Too much fear around me I don't know should I go or no I know for sure that life is short So I go with the flow And I wanna learn everything I don't know ‘Lotta things that I don't like Wanna trade in my time Tired of all that hype I'm trusting myself a lot Right right Imma have a nice life Soon as I arrive [MISS C-LINE] What a day, what a day, everybody's awake Let’s go to the place, I assure you the best, Listen to the bass, my heart is in place, Takes me to a phase, I don't wanna rush, Please me with a mastic, see the world from above while you get symptomatic, And you begin to feel like an addict, the need for love and fulfillness is all you’ve been askin’ The moment of bliss that surrounds you in space is what we know has been working on us It is for our best. Leaving the past and confess, trying so hard to move on, but this party is where we belong now we move on

To the Light 03:14
Wavelengths 24/7 Steady changing Light is always moving at its pace and We can never catch it though we keep on chasing energy is always on the move I feel true to what I do, but what is the truth Is it what I think, what I feel, or something to choose? And what is it to you, if you don't walk in my shoes Cuz whatever is true to me may not be true to you too Look toward the light the shadow lays behind Turn around and you embedded in the shine If you turn the light off, you are left with your mind And if you got it in your face, well then the path is hard to find Give me the sunlight Give me the energy I'm needing more life I need a remedy Give me the sunlight Give me the energy I'm needing more life I keep on pushin’ and runnin’ and fightin’ I wanna get there before the sun sets I know I am invited I'm channeling the energies I hope the universe can see all the beauty within me But at the end where will this lead What will I be will I be free Believe in the peers A plan on the sheet But not really living cuz I cannot listen to waves that are hitting my eyes and my ears Waves full of tears The bigger the wave the lower frequency And then I‘ll see what I didn't feel The I hears

Now! 03:33
Over the time I had to learn that I just gotta wait for you I mean I really want to, but I can't I got other things to do you what I mean I can not wait for you, come on.. You’re so attractive to me But what it means if I don't get to know what you’re gonna give to me I know you’re physically here but could you ever bother thinking 'bout how I may be feeling? Maybe it's not important Maybe I'm overreacting Maybe I gotta take you as you are Enjoy what I'm getting But damn, I really wanna see you open up Because you got my trust But now you look so stiff As if somebody pulled the plug And it's it tryna hide your feelings But to me you look sick and you don't seem to have juice at all So what am I gon’ get Just a couple of minutes Maybe not even more Couple of days is that really what I'm fighting for? Cuz I don't wanna pay that shit, it’s something I cannot afford But still you being grown I hope you hold your soul A moment of love’s worth more than gold Or so I'm told But why talking ‘bout the love if I don't know what I'm in for? You’re treating me as if I would be treating you Like you ain't nothing special I know you are But please let me be me And please send me some kind of sign that you see me too Ain't even asking for a full bloom But you know, if you keep going like that I’ll be gone soon At least warm it up a little bit I mean I can smell that you're already close to it Please just let me get a sip You brought me here don't tell me it was just a trick I know you got the power smell sour Man, I gotta find me another flower The moment I’ve been waiting for For you You are the one that I've been waiting for so please Open up slowly Open up Amorphophallus titanum You’re the biggest flower, complex You’re not the most beautiful But the beauty lies hidden You’re unorthodox But damn you smell foul It's what it is We cannot trust you Give me one reason I should be waiting for you We’ve been waiting for years

Today Is OK 02:33
Kids playing outside Parents at the job on the grind The Sun is shining, beautiful day Everybody tryna have a good time with no delay Laid out right, everybody feeling nice It's the perfect day All the people realize it is worth it mane Time and stress is all gone The bond with life feels strong Doesn't matter how bad yesterday been Focus on now, they be saying A lil sunshine can make night feel light And the bright side of life arises Makes the fun times last a long time Life ain't feeling right here, but I don't know where to go I believe in a better world, though But I don't know whether it's true that hell is down below I just know what I'm told A regular day looks way different The people gotta be delivering Whether they can use their free time Is written in the clouds Time is just running out I gotta do this I gotta do it fast I gotta learn quick I'm hoping I can last I'm really feeling like the life that I'm living Is too much to deal with and I can not quit it Not now The people are thankful Because their Life is not just a handful To handle They need balance and this day can be an example What is truly right or wrong I guess nobody knows So enjoy your life and live your life Let the others live Cuz you don't know what they’re going through right

We're Lucky 03:07
Eyes Closed figure out what I hold Life can be a gamble if you don't know what you own But I'm bold always going on I know the struggle starting to get real if I fold And I know I'm fine, so it's hard to see the rest Especially if nobody can be looking in your chest What are your aims? What you doing things for Can I really trust you? Or you leave me painful But the family that came before me Showed me how to live my life most beautifully I know that I had the chance to see what other people didn’t see I'm grateful and I be lucky to be doing what they think they cannot Looking in the mirror ask myself: can I do it really? And what is in me? All the people believing in me But it doesn’t change shit Coming round and round and round I keep on going I'm living for you, you living through me and this is the truth I know that I keep on going I will never stop I will never stop I keep Going and going and going But I be thankful, for the people that Were there for me and I see clear that I didn’t have a picture-perfect past The people ‘round me made sure I could last I had a good example of how to live my life Thinking 'bout the future, it was always looking bright I was loved right No obstacle in sight They didn’t make me feel the weight Life was feeling kinda light All the decisions I took I could be reading out of their books Already have a look I had to take my own steps evidently I could do it with them on the side thankfully So I know that everything I do, I do it for them They raised me in the past made me who I am I know that it's my life and I love to live it If I had the power to be changing theirs, I would give it

Ay yo once upon a time I just met this guy Well, like 5 minutes ago You could see a mission in his eyes This dude he comes up to me and says “Hi, It's quite a funny time to get by right?! The way that we are living we cannot go on Take a different step right our wrongs Cuz the way that we’re living we are not getting along We gotta work a little harder for a strong bond” “Uhm.. yess ok.. I get it But.. Why me? Like, why don't you go to the senate Cuz I'm a regular dude with regular rules I don't even have the power to choose” He didn't care about what I said he just kept going Tell me all the things that went wrong and That we need to go to another place Where we can elevate start all over And then we can recreate “I know that it is possible cuz currently we are our own obstacle” “Yes, I mean I get it But why me like.. you keep talking to me like I was gonna change something I'm just a fucking regular dude, I don't understand what you want from me bro” He got quiet not for long though, the tape started rewinding Here he go again with the same old shit I mean I don't disagree, but I wanna quit this “If we don't change now it's gonna be too late We gotta get great and check what we put in our plates” “OK STOP! Listen dude, you’re gonna get me mad I don't even disagree but please can you let me speak” [ape jewel$] ape jewel$ in the motherfucking building man this is a public service announcement i dont even know why yall not bouncin man i gotta do this shit im never gonna smoke the ounces again i be living until im gonna give in until im gonna die youre never gonna just smile at me cuz im a king imma do whatever i want i dont give a fuck about you i dont give a fuck at all peace

How? 02:41
It's always step by step Don't know how far I'll get If I keep on going on this road Will I forget? Where I’ve been coming from? Where I really need to go? All the things that happened to me And imma feel it blow Up in my mind don't know how to find That perfect path for my life I don't even know if that one exists Or if I can resist All the temptations I wanna persist cuz i Believe in a better place believe in a better home Most of us got the chance to choose what we care about And some are just left out but I don't know if we understand our choice We are unique in our ways We defeating our pain But our mind is far away How much more can we take before we are deranged? Moving on a way that can never be rearranged We only got one chance We only got one life A couple of days to be exact Is it a fact that we need to change something? Change in this world is it gonna be coming? Cuz I used to trust in what I read But today you can write waaay faster than you read Nah, Facts can be proven Tell me what you truly lack you wanted to ruin Your whole damn fucking life It's not damn fucking right You wanna get somewhere you gotta manage your life But what do I know I only know it for myself and this how I grow Cuz I believe in the path that I go step by step Day for day L for L yet I keep going my way What is up in my mind Your help I won’t decline Tryna find a solution for all of us combined But shit I'm on my own path And this is all I really can influence and this is how I gotta do it Cuz I learn before I do But I learn as I do And I hope wherever go in the end, I won't burn So tell me how far did I really come Walking slowly I don't run In some direction, I don't know where I'm headed But I go step by step it's a fact

Home is 03:16
Wait a minute Chillin’ with my folks I need another second Wine is fine, but solitude I'm really missing I need some more strength I wanna fully get it So I'm tryna figure out what I be truly gettin’ A universal remedy there surely isn't Life is so much more complex than this it is I want to chill with my people all the time But who’s gon’ take care of business Nobody standing in my shoes But if they could, would they really do it I'm not saying my life is harder than yours But it's mine, you couldn't stand in it one day for sure I also don't want to give my shoes away I'm proud of my life, sometimes I have a bad day Usually I'm strong tough as a boulder But not in the moment I'm my own opponent But the journey is the goal So I'll walk it till I'm old I won't fold I know that one day I'll be home

Damn I crossed your path It didn't seem real cuz I was lost in math And we had a blast But I had to figure out how to build on the past Move on yup, I gotta Turn all the habits into something that is way more Pure in its core not bitter and sore Cuz I didn't really know all of these feelings before Damn, I had to change and it had to come with you You done share your world with me Now I'm seeing through all the lies I been fed For no reason I was scared (to be) To be same old, same over again I didn't want to be the regular dude I wanted to be true But damn, I got fooled Life is eternally a journey to the stars So no matter where you’re goin’ You are always climbing rocks So now the moment of truth I really wonder the way I'll be changing with you No matter what we do We’re gonna be together You are me and I am you Without me you are just a road Without you I am left alone If I don't stroll I wonder how life will go on So let's go We don't know where we going But we got time We don't know when we‘re there Could be everywhere The only thing that matters is that we are one Though the journey has just begun Feels like a lot to come We won't ever be alone We get stronger while getting older The search for direction is finally over

about

Trappist-1d speaks of the search for a home. On this journey to an Earth-like exoplanet, many everyday problems are addressed. Our environment is known to us, but a distant planet is not. Often we strive for the unknown and escape the momentary state, despite not knowing if the destination will really be more pleasing. The album is intentionally not written explicitly because the story is meant to represent a struggle that most people deal with to a certain extent.
The Journey is the goal is one of the main topics of this album. As you go, you learn about what it is that you want and where you are really going, as long as you go. Eitherways you always bring yourself along on the journey and only changing the environment, will not immediately satisfy you and will still have to work on living a good life.
Musically the Album is very diverse and ranges from Soulful Hip Hop Beats, to funky grooves, Dubby Basslines and instrumental parts all the way to African percussive elements and even trappy drums. Most drums are live played though by Producer REEL BEETZ, which give this Album his unique touch.
