Never felt a stronger connection to another hip-hop artist. Cal is speaking for the people that don't know how they feel, for us who feel unstoppable some days and stagnant the next. Thanks for being the same Cal from Best Foot Forward yet evolving into the artist you've become today. 👊✊🔥⏰

[@philmissy1]

Only problem then is he will find god and change into every other artist 'its not just artists' I felt his pain for real Never had a song yet that spoke to me on this level. This is real...

[@luckyluchiano72]

its really fucking hard lol he mentions both xanax n opiates frequently but also uppers. the uppers are mental n make ya feel shitty n hallucinate a lil etc, the opis will have u ready to rip ur skin off puking ur guts out, and the benzos can kill u w seizures if u don’t wean off exactly correct… this shit aint a game for some. Personally I beat all em at once except i wasn’t a big fan of uppers, but it took over 8 yrs

[@luckyluchiano72]

@@philmissy1God is not the only way or correct way, there’s no correct way. Whatever works for that person. I hated NA/AA for all those reasons but mostly the people there n how they judge etc. SMART recovery for a few months worked along w Inpatient for me, but I didn’t need anything after that. Plus I can keep my Medical Marijauna Card and drink alcohol on occasion, neither effect me, but I can recommend that for anyone because everyone is didn’t and that might lead some to a different addiction or right back to the original n relapse. Religion and recovery are not intertwined unless you WANT them to be.😊 Best of luck!

I slip, fell down and drown in the puddle of my own tears I never learn my lesson man, infested all my own fears And Columbus, I was buzzing like four beers And four years later, I'm just drunk Maybe I'm not close, maybe I'm just stuck Started blowing lines thinking, maybe I just suck Maybe it's hard work, maybe it's just luck All the shit I think I need, maybe I just want Maybe it's just me, but baby, it's just us And maybe it's not love, maybe it's just lust Now it got me thinking all the people I can't trust And how I don't believe in anything that we discuss, like- How are we supposed to build, when you tryna' tear me down Wear me out like some hand-me-downs Don't seem very proud of the man I am You don't seem to care, I carry pounds That shit weighing on me, taking my energy every ounce But I bounce back, a sad movie with a soundtrack Low amounts in my accounts, I don't announce that Maybe if I did, you would understand Some people hit below the belt to get the upper-hand I didn't spend a dollar, still I owe a hundred grand This con-artists contracts wrote in Comic Sans Now I'm free, I'm on a run, but I'm a wanted man And I just let it happen naturally, it wasn't planned I wasn't playing when I told you I was done playing games They wanted me to change in a one wearing chains Had a Plain Jane Rollie before it became a thing But only because I couldn't afford it to get it to blang I'm navigating terrain, got a make it back Crack like an artifact, heart is staying intact Imma call the play like Harden, Wayne, Shaq Gave my heart away, then I saw it fade to black

Straight Outta Cal Scruby

[@jim7019]

@Cal Scruby This is one of your best songs, when you use your emotion, your life and, your truth, then your art resonates with people. Honestly I listen to captain America a lot right now because it's new and catchy to me, I just discovered it. Alternatively I think your talents shine when you're keeping it real and raw. Art is different when you can see someone's soul. I'm not going to preach but be careful what drugs you do, they can take everything from you even your sanity, for real. I just stick to bud, CBD, my prescription Klonopin and the occasional pain pill, when needed. I used to use hard stuff for years. Thanks for performing, may your flow keep evolving, and it will because you don't give up, and you deserve more than you have given yourself up until this point. Keep it real brother.
