Name: BLACKSTARRR
Duration: P00H02M33S
Description: BLACKSTARRR is about fearing death being irrational because it’s the only thing that’s promised to us; based on the philosophy of Epicurus. We tend to have a negative perception of death; being an uncomfortable topic to talk about (in some cases taboo). I'm planning on having a bigger conversation about how we view and perceive things that make us uncomfortable and find comfort within that.

LYRICS

(VERSE)
As bad as death may seem, im just sayin I aint afraid of it
Or make decisions limited to my disdain of it
Wish I could throw the biggest cookout for my slain cousins
Filled with all my homies in the grave that just aint coming
Plus my grandparents I haven’t seen in quite a minute
This time granny remember me in her prime just chilin
Im consistent on my commitments and all my prior business
But ever since I lost Addisu swear that life been different
Still hungry aint as chipper as I used to be
Since Elysium been sticking to congruent themes
Of proving to the masses more to myself that I can do these things
In rooms with those who said there aint no room for me,
Aint nun you can do with me cuz I pack purpose in these verses
see through facades you get nervous yelling peace to the Gods I aint perfect lately swerving but we beating the odds reaffirm it
knee deep they be frauds who see we workin

(Chorus)
Don't play me as Solace at least im honest
Why fear the only the thing ever promised to me
I’d rather live right now than to think irrational
Why fear the only the thing ever promised to me

I’d rather live right now than to think irrational
Why fear the only the thing ever promised to me
I’d rather live right now than to think irrational
Why fear the only the thing ever promised to me
