[@74lisaevans]

You were my random pick this morning, an hour later and I'm still listening. Everything I've heard has had me soaring. Absolutely brilliant.

Found this song through my Spotify weekly recommended playlist during a period in time when I’ve gone through a lot this last month. From personal illness to a death in the family, life can just really kick you down sometimes, but I’ve never felt more encouraged by a song to get back up. I know you’re a small artist, and many haven’t heard your stuff yet, but know that this song helped me out during one of the harder times in my life, and I’m very thankful for that. Keep up the great work man, one day your world will change too, especially if you keep putting out quality like this. Cant wait to see what else you bring.

[@madelineclaire8233]

This song means so much to me. I’m shocked it doesn’t have millions of views!!

[@KaiStraw]

Madeline Claire Ahh, thank you so much. And who knows, maybe one day it will. Either way, I’m happy you found it.

[@novaprospects]

Make more music like this KS! So good.

[@KaiStraw]

Thanks, brother!

[@alicemirga2435]

This was the first song i listened to outside of The Delusionists Imaginarium. I found kai through that album about 6 years ago In 2020/2021 i was in an abusive relationship. Cried my eyes out to this song, still do sometimes. Kai youre seriously one of the best lyricists ive ever heard. Was rediving into your music today and heard chokin for the firs5 time, Jesus ur fire as always lmao

[@lowkeyfiasco]

Powerful, man. Mark it, bro, big things are gonna come your way. Keep making these moves and doing what you're doing.

[@KaiStraw]

I appreciate that confidence, brother! I'm giving this thing everything I've got.

DON'T TREAD ON ME LYRICS She used to walk around needy for love Givin’ it up like a thief in the cuffs She’d try to hide it like weed in the trunk I’m livin’ it up, don’t judge me, playa, I’ma Independent chick on my own hype Gettin’ presidents like a vote might And I don’t get it, why you care I hit the city naked? I’m gettin’ benjamins, shit, I’m a Diddy record But underneath she was broke Breakin’ down when they’d leave her alone She had a need in her bones Feeling empty in her soul she would Look up to the moon and cry, she would beg for a better life And then the moon talked back It said, ‘I see a lot of courage in you right there’ It said, ‘You’re strong’ And she said, ‘I can’t do this alone’ And it gazed in her soul and it said [Chorus] I’ve been watchin’ you, baby I’ve been watchin’ you I’ve seen you fall and seen you catch the blues And I know you’re down And I know you’re out And baby, I can see how You feel like drownin’ But babe, you’ve gotta get up Oh, you’ve gotta get up You’ve gotta get up I said you’ve gotta get up [Verse 2] You've gotta get up off your knees there, lady I know you're praying up to me, near daily Saying things, like, oh, please save me But no, I don't think you need me, because, baby, you are A light bulb in a dark, dark world You're like a match in the black of a cavern Or to attackers, the flash from a magnum Tell ‘em, ‘don’t tread on me’ Tell ‘em to get off, baby be free That ain’t something they can’t take from you neither Your freedom is up waiting for you Caught in the ether I said baby you are A light bulb in a dark world You’re like the glow when the power is blown Through a window from the moon And I see it ‘cause [Chorus] I’ve been watchin’ you, baby I’ve been watchin’ you I’ve seen you fall and seen you catch the blues And I know you’re down And I know you’re out And baby, I can see how You feel like drownin’ But babe, you’ve gotta get up Oh, you’ve gotta get up You’ve gotta get up I said you’ve gotta get up [Outro] First you gotta feel it in your soul Then you feel it bubble up in an emotion Then you feel it down low, real low, in the floor like In it there's a rhythm, 4 x 4, can you feel it? Second, gotta show it when you move Like you're walking to a drum doing your own dance You hear the slappin' of the snare and them high hat flares And a trumpet all singin' that you're home, then.. ..you tell ‘em Nah, don’t tread on me

[@joshuabeard1574]

Kai your one of favorites. You deserve more play. God bless!

[@valpulaski8298]

Recommend him in random KZbin shorts. It'll work if we really committed to at least 30 minutes a day. No one has heard of him but he's been doing this for 20 yrs.. stopped.. then picked back up during pandemic

[@KaiStraw]

Thanks for listening, Jenna! I'm completely independent, so, it's a little harder to get my stuff out there. I'm honestly grateful for anyone who finds me. There's so much music in the world! I'm like a grain of sand. Thanks for giving me a shot.

So lovely💜😇

[@annettemassari2599]

I have been listening to this on spotify for months, maybe years, and just learned that this isn't a widely known song! Shocked. Quality music video, but for some reason, I always pictured a woman who was black or a recent immigrant and her abuser was just society. Now I like to think this goes out to all black trans women

[@jessicahyndman4850]

im going to be the 1st person to buy tickets to your tour for gun... please tell me you will be coming to ontario, canada!!!! ugh, been a fan for a while now and i cant wait

[@laurengrace9297]

Can’t stop listening 💚🌻😉✌🏻

[@dmbfn84]

Ever play shows or any live recordings?

[@alejandroaguilar5137]

So fucking good

[@terrortwinztv2143]

🔥🔥🔥

[@daltonmorris570]

bro this video was giving major anxiety

[@RaggeaAmbassador]

Why is this underrated?

[@KaiStraw]

Haha, I'm not sure. But I'll take this as a compliment. So thank you. Means the world you took a sec to check me out.

[@loganweickel776]

Probably because of the name of the song. Lefties don’t like guns. Lefties run the media. 🤷‍♂️
