“I wanna wake up in the 8th grade, momma downstairs yelling up that Imma be late. Just to realize that all of this was a bad dream so I can set my life on a different path and be happy.” Facts
@@SchwarzesEis Joe's been on a label since Reaper in 2017, either DCD2 or Fueled by Ramen, can't remember which. As of this past January he is now independent again, able to release music whenever he wants. Make no mistake, nothing,nowhere. never misses. But now we're gonna see the real REAL good shit, cannot wait.
He’s never not killed it ✌🏼 man’s been killing it for 9 years now I can’t believe it’s almost been a decade listening to this man! I’ll never forget seeing him live in Toronto a few years ago I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for days
"And all these fans look at me like I'm a therapist" I cannot possibly imagine how absolutely exhausting that must be. He's been talking about it numerous times, for example on "real": "I was in Temple, Texas And I took an exit to a gas station, stopped the car Saw a young man, wearing black Vans Kinda looked like me from afar He said, "Joe, I would die for you, bro Man, you a legend, I hope that you know I got your logo tattooed on my throat I stayed out hours waiting for your show You do it all even with the anxiety And honestly, that is inspiring With all the depression you put on yourself and from others That shit must get tiring" I told him "Thanks" and I drove home Going 95 in a 55 I don't wanna let him down now Tryna be strong, but I don't know how" It's hard enough when you have to fight your own demons. But man, fighting everybody else's demons as well ...

my favorite on the album. so proud of you joe welcome back to the independent world, can’t wait to see you kill it ❤
Why back to the independent world? Why wasnt he independent before and what has changed?

We are back to the good music again! Brings back nostalgia from mid 2010s...

I really feel old Joe from this, sounds really like 2017-2018 stuff. Love it.
Growing up in a small town in VT is its whole own struggle. Joe may have made it. But this song hits home.
"And all these fans look at me like I'm a therapist"
I cannot possibly imagine how absolutely exhausting that must be.
He's been talking about it numerous times, for example on "real":
"I was in Temple, Texas
And I took an exit to a gas station, stopped the car
Saw a young man, wearing black Vans
Kinda looked like me from afar
He said, "Joe, I would die for you, bro
Man, you a legend, I hope that you know
I got your logo tattooed on my throat
I stayed out hours waiting for your show
You do it all even with the anxiety
And honestly, that is inspiring
With all the depression you put on yourself and from others
That shit must get tiring"
I told him "Thanks" and I drove home
Going 95 in a 55
I don't wanna let him down now
Tryna be strong, but I don't know how"
It's hard enough when you have to fight your own demons. But man, fighting everybody else's demons as well ...
real was such a good song too
Yeah this is the one for me on this album, I feel the same Joe... I wish I can sooner or later put my music out like you.
Just do it bro, thats what he does lol
Gotta love boom bap percussion on beats. Never fails.
The cult of the reaper saved me
This one hits different. 💔
I pray that you'll win all the battles you never tell anyone about
Didn't know i need this album till it snuck up. Dude you continue to kill it!
Loving the new album!!!🖤
Been listening on repeat so gooood
Such a good fucking song, and chorus gives such old hip hop vibes. Some Ice Cube type shit.
My favorite one off the album
that's what I call, DARK MAGIC
L Y R I C S
I like to act like I'm alright to you
I'm rapping and packaging, 'cause I
Don't want to let them know about what has happened, and so I
Put on a play and I pretend I'm okay
It's nothing new, I just figure I was born this way, it's funny
I think I've gotten every wish that I asked for
A million fans, record deals, multiple world tours, but
I always feel that every time that I reach goals
I'm never feeling different
It's the same incomplete hole inside of me
It's too much irony
'Cause see, I try to feel alive, but always feel the reaper eyeing me
So fuck it
This industry has taken every part of me
My self-worth, happiness, and any sense of harmony (harmony)
I wanna wake up in the eighth grade
Momma downstairs, yelling up that I'ma be late
Just to realize that all of this was a bad dream
So I can set my life on a different path and be happy
I've been on my grind like I'm Tunechi
Motherfuckers back home say they knew me
Did you ever really care about me?
Did you ever really care about me?
Bought a crib up north like I'm six god
Got a cold fanbase, fuck a TikTok
See, they never really cared about me
Yea, they never really cared abou-
Yeah, ever since I turned 21, the color faded
No matter what the fuck I do, I end up feeling jaded
And any sign of joy I feel only gets sedated
And any sign of hope is cut off and eliminated
Tell me why I feel the need to whine on instrumentals
I'm never feeling different, not even incremental
And all these fans look at me like I'm a therapist
I'm barely standing, tryna find my balance on a precipice, yikes
But I still body every single genre
And I could tour with any band that I wanna
So tell me how to find the light in the darkness
I'll show you how to make yourself the biggest target
I wanna wake up in the eighth grade
Momma downstairs, yelling up that I'ma be late
Just to realize that all of this was a bad dream
So I can set my life on a different path and be happy
I wanna wake up in the eighth grade
Momma downstairs, yelling up that I'ma be late

Motherfuckers back home, say they know me
