We were blessed to be joined by MaLLy on this short track. MaLLy wrote an incredible verse and all the instruments behind him were played by Sean McPherson.
lyrics
So many worries to be perfect where you lack
It can drive you mad, the number that you Curry on your back
Such a Warrior spirit, ignoring the critics, with every tick I’m feeling paranoid that I’m finished
Feel less important though, forced in a story role, coming out of store with clothes, like you 24 years old
Showing off with all you own, new car, bought a home, flexing when you hurtin’, underneath consumption’s cortisone
Food for thought, aye got the order wrong ayyo all in all, can’t take it with you in a casket, literally you all alone
For youth, throw a carnival and celebrate it daily, I’m selfless, love for other’s lives and hoping they breathe,
I’m still smiling, inner silence is a violin, music to my ears and equanimity’s a diamond,
Too old to be a man, and people thinking that you can’t cry, or popping up surprisingly and seeing that you ain’t died,
I’m living stressed, way less, been praying that my day’s stretch, desire for ascendance when I’m laid to rest, loosening my grip on if I’m making this date fresh, for Grandma’s hands, before she withers away yes,
Every King was never meant to be a Cavalier, I’d rather die of thirst before I have a beer, I got my own goals ain’t chasing after theirs, I’m 32 it’s such a magic year.

It's a great record because Heiruspecs is a great band that is only partially held back by my Neanderthal bass playing and desire of songs with under 1 chord. Twinkie Jiggles Broken Orchestra

If you've been looking to listen to Dessa Chimes is a good entry point. Well crafted hip-hop sounds with even better written lyrics. Dessa is just too strong an artist to ignore. Vivian Nelson
