    I'm sitting alone in my new apartment in Munich. Moved here a couple weeks ago for my first real job and don't know any people yet. Listening to this after working all day and having just come back from an evening run, the warm summer air streaming in from the window. Life feels strange these days, but for the first time in months I'm happy.

I had one of the best years of my life there and I don't regret about my choice at all.Take care 🙂

    This beat just goes... I could drive endless to this. Like until I ran out of gas, then just keep bumpin til my car battery dies... Then I'd just walk off with the beat in my head. Unlimited. Nujabes has this effect. Keep chillin brother.

      True. Sometimes people die like that. One good thing is, their spirit goes on and they return here when they're ready to make another cycle, or when they're called into the world. Souls are ever-changing and endless, my friend. Peace to you

      Yooo bro, same here man Class of 2021 represent! I myself am going off to college in the fall, lots of hopefulness for the future. I hope you make the most of whatever you decide to do this fall and the coming years. The past year and a half has sucked, but at least we can (seemingly) proceed as normal at this point.
      Life’s about the journey, all about the process; it’s like making a beat in the studio, you try to make it the best work of art you can. Hope all goes well for ya.

    Always in trouble need love on the double spent cake
    And a lifetime climbing to the level
    Contract with the devil loopholed expiration date
    On the side of good people always set the record straight
    Round and round the piano keys meditate
    Felt in the music need it now can't let it wait
    Not a secret everything is all out and exposed
    It's going down like the water in the river flows
    How it goes another day another story told
    Stuck inside the puzzle searching still trying to get a hold
    Forgotten souls got lost in the cold trying
    To get freedom now they need 'em walking down to hope road
    Said they hope so but it was a no go
    Front row stage show well placed logo
    Fancy lights and the cameras are on
    But he don't care he's just there to sing another sad love song
    Fade to black the soundtrack to another night
    The music of the rain and the city lights
    Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright
    Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night
    And they all knew what it was from the first glance
    No excuses should've planned in advance man
    Documented on ProTools or Tascam
    Struggles & hustles of an ordinary black man
    Spin a record with two week life span
    Can't find a good girl so we hug the mic stand
    Not a lot of paper left in his right hand
    Making enemies of folks he treated like fam
    Stone cold solid rock every point stop
    What you lean on soon as the pressure drops
    Ghetto hot
    Know the ledge and you'll hear the shot
    But he'll never stop
    'Til his name's known on every block
    Spread my wings fly away to the night beat
    He's wide awake while the rest of the city sleeps
    In these gritty streets
    Dudes creep with plenty heat
    Pay it no mind and we grind losing plenty sleep
    Yo... Yo...
    Some play for keeps while you laid asleep
    In the dark your worst nightmare waits for he
    Anything discern, no dawn or despair
    Air's crisp and calm I think a storm is near
    And I'm watching lightning dance across the skyline
    Usually miss it, rarely find time
    To bask in blackness, hint of line shine
    But in a jazz pub chilling, sippin with fine wine
    Hypnotize by the strum of the upright
    Feel like lost souls got their eyes on me some nights
    So keep my eyes wide and move cautious
    Slip and find yourself in a brand new coffin
    By the morning...
    Now you're the one with the night breed
    You should've known better if you're anything like me
    But the city lights will seduce you
    Daywalkers beware if it's not what you're used to
