Cheers from Catharsis by Hdot Bdot

1. My goals used to be different
2. I wasn’t focused on the goal of a big picture
3. Started out recording on McNichols
4. Then this the part of the story where shit switches
5. See, I was in need of another change
6. Considered jumping knee deep in another game
7. Don’t know if it was destiny or a lucky break
8. Gave a couple copies of my mixtape to uncle ray
9. And through him is where i started to run with Maine
10. Who appreciated my type flow nice slow
11. I was 18 when he put me on the scene
12. Put me onto things which back then i had only looked at as a dream
13. He came from doing live shows, hitting open mics so
14. He put me on and then he gave me the iso
15. He let the green light go and i would ride on
16. Any beat Hooligan ENT was fa life yo
17. He believed in the hype bro
18. It was so real he barely knew me but wouldn’t even let me go put up my dough
19. For studio time he funded ‘I’m Home’
20. Then back to back we went on a mission with ‘The Addiction’
21. Recorded both of them up in Bright Mo’
22. Remember feeling like “yo this where i get my slice of the pie bro”
23. Felt just like the rookie year Ivo
24. Handling different parts of the city with the same cross that left Mike broke
25. Then i was gettin stagnant
26. This where i blame me cuz i exhibited some habits that limited my status
27. To me performances, were less important than
28. Jordans, infidelity and buying some shiny ornaments
29. Them Troubles i had on Lovett were sad uncomfortable facts
30. Of a life before being a husband and dad
31. I cringe listening to stories of my past
32. Being juxtaposed to the current me is a time lapse
33. And Then i skipped some practices on Fenkell
34. Sparring was beneficial i just really ain’t feel like I would need to
35. My relationship was on the ropes, my drive to go & write poetry was comatose
36. So when it came to ‘Overdose’
37. The lyrics were mediocre, the beat selection
38. Was hit or miss and recording days were sleeping sessions
39. Sandman had a name in the industry
40. But he wouldn’t even greet me if i wasn’t paying him anything
41. Maine couldn’t front me no more i was broke and i was struggling
42. Instead of music i focused on my budget
43. Missed Slick’s affordability plus his coaching and production
44. Musically he was fam i barely knew him but i loved him
45. Slick would hear me say some shit, then he’d replay the shit
46. Add a beat drop maybe a delay to it
47. If he aint like what he was hearing we would do it different
48. And To this day i hate that brotha had to move to memphis
49. Years past then the next best thing was
50. Me recording the ‘Best Kept Secret’
51. Back in Southwest conveniently
52. Blocks away from where I’d sleep and eat cooking off Livernois on Eagle street
53. Felt like i was back in them “Addiction”days
54. Ironically on this album i had some shit to say
55. But Communication with Maine took a hit
56. We stopped talking and i can’t even explain how it went
57. Maybe i cut him off ain’t wanna feel obligated to give
58. Him control over promotion of it, and maybe i missed
59. An opportunity to make an attempt
60. At aligning goals, OR maybe should the blame be on him?
61. All i know is it dont matter to me
62. I’d be happy to see that he’s healthy and life is meeting his family’s needs
63. I dont actually grieve
64. I self sabotage when anything of a tragic proportion happens to me
65. So before my last days appear, i wanna make it clear
66. Those sessions we had were some of my greatest years
67. Those experiences helped me best my greatest fears
68. Though We didnt make a dime, it was still see it as a great career
69. And i love you for that
70. For life you gone always be a brother fa that, yea
71. If nothing else this game left me better educated
72. A journey full of lessons is still worth a celebration, cheers homie
