Lyrics:
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same
Waking up to this disarray
This uncertainness only seems to serve the misery
Maya place on me
Mother take from me
All of this false shit I do not need it
I believe in magic
Because I’ve seen it
Nothing you the ego
You know already, how it goes
I got a strong mind a strong girl
From my head to my toe
Back to my ego
These Earthly habits have got to get going
I’ve let go of desires but have I truly
Let go of the fires that burn them and fuel them
It's so hard to be human
With a battling mind
I have lost all devotion over time
I'm on the path of remembrance
And I'm remembering fine
Having nothing that's mine only borrowing time. My kind
Chatting to GOD unworthy of his time
With all these doubts in my mind im trying to cast aside, left to struggle in my rhymes
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same
Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line,
I'm feeding my senses
Food for thought is money well spented
Cause most of our so called knowledge is rented,
invented, depended on flippant friends, social scenarios, hollow like cheerios you hear me
though
Never thought I’d be coming out your stereo
But there we go, maktub ya’ll
It’s written you know
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same

​@Mama Laryn I personally loved the use of the pomegranate❤ It typically symbolizes fertility, death/rebirth, beauty, eternal life. it also is a symbol that represents the planet pluto, which is the planet that represents rebirth, renewal, change, and transformation and is also associated with greek mythology (Hades & Persephone to be specific). You can look into the story of Hades and Persephone to get further details if you are interested in the story, but in short represents life, regeneration, and even marriage. In greek mythology, it is also believed that the pomegrante was brought by aphrodite (godess of love). Im sure there is so much more but this is what i took from it :) hope this helped and borough some insight to what i meant

It's all outward pretend peace. People I know like this are in utter chaos, internally. Great musician though 🔥

[@brightonbotanicals5503]

@@ancientfuture9690 Peace and chaos can co exist. My home is a peaceful weed jungle and my mind is also chaotic as I'm neurodivergent. What looks like a mess to you may be your misunderstanding of other people and one shouldn't generalise "people like this" More of note is your confidence to psychoanalyse and judge a complete stranger's state of being.

[@ancientfuture9690]

@@brightonbotanicals5503 I do not mind judging a character's state of being...we do it all the time because to make value judgements about life/others, helps us navigate the world more effectively. I'm sure you do it too when looking at a stranger in the street? And you're correct that peace and chaos (comically speaking) are inseparable opposites (as the Chinese Yin Yang symbolises) but I wasn't describing that. I was describing a kind of individual that acquires all the outward symbols and affectations of "culturally exotic/spiritual things" but still remains terribly anxious and neurotic. I've nothing against weed or other mind altering substances and actually I've had my fair share of psychedelic experiences. However, I've met MANY a psychonaut/burner that has the dreads, the meaningful tats, the unconventional piercings, the metaphysical and esoteric book collection, the yoga mat, a longing of a return to the 60's counter-culture etc, etc BUT inwardly they are developmentally stunted. They cannot hold meaningful relationships, they're passive aggressive, they're angry and resentful towards the world and even misanthropic. You of course might be different. I was simply pointing out that what might 'look like Zen' isn't always Zen. That was my personal experience when I was desperately seeking peace via those routes. I found eventually that peace can actually be found in being a regular, societal contributing citizen and not a statement wearing activist.

[@EllaBoadu]

This is one of her best songs lyrically, I love how double bass heavy it is. The cinematography and back story of her travels is incredible. I really like the shot at the bus stop, the marigolds referencing Mexico and day of the dead? What a tune, two years later and I’m still obsessing over this video.
