this is probably my deepest song on the project (other than the first one, i guess.) we all know what it’s like to be in a funk & that’s what this song is about. instead of just going with the flow of whatever isn’t working for me, i try to intentionally change my behavior in order to return to center. learning how to care for myself has been such a rewarding journey. ‘cause if not me, then who? shout out jean carter for helping with lyrics when i got stumped & for talking n whistling on the track! produced by devin malik, mixed + mastered by phase.

great again (prod. devin malik) lyrics

01/18/21 3:58 pm

i stopped smoking weed again

i been drinking my water

i got messages to send

but i been thinking, “why bother?”

don’t feel like it today

but i gotta get paid 

overall, i feel fine

but i’m trynna feel great

when i wake up to new one, i’m like, “thank you,”

& when they ask me how i’m doing, i’m like, “stay tuned.”

i don’t wanna say, “i’m good” if it ain’t true

fuck a fake mood

all that ever did was waste room

are you really asking ‘cause you care or ‘cause it’s courteous?

niggas smiled right in my face and did me dirtiest

so excuse me if i’m jaded

i bossed up & elevated

hit my phone now he frustrated wit the word he gets

isn’t that ironic?

switch up quick like sonic

all you niggas mid

& my shit is exotic

(jean carter): nigga, shut the fuck up. you don’t even smoke bro. talking bout “exotic.”

(me): chill bro.

i stopped smoking weed again

i been drinking my water

i got messages to send

but i been thinking, “why bother?”

don’t feel like it today

but i gotta get paid 

overall i feel fine

but i’m trynna feel great

i wanna have my day & enjoy it

i just get annoyed wit routine

i’ll prolly hit my plug in a week

but i think that a break’s what i need

shit gets hard sometimes,

thank God for my mechanisms

need to clear my mind when it feels like it’s a prison 

i stopped smoking weed again

i been drinking my water

i got messages to send

but i been thinking, “why bother?”

don’t feel like it today

but i gotta get paid 

overall i feel fine

but i’m trynna feel great again.

okay.

(jean carter whistling)
