For the past 4 years I've been tactically sniping at my bad habits and cultivating new constructive ones. It hasn't been easy and I'm far from finished, but the results are showing and admittedly I'm drowning in an ocean of relief and reassurance. I'm not just confident about the way things are going. I know what I'm doing is working. I know where I'm heading. I know I don't know it all, but i know enough to recognize when i need to learn more, so ultimately i know i have what it takes. Some of you will listen to this, and it’ll be the first time you’ve heard me. Some of you have been listening for several years (thank you btw). Regardless of how engaged you’ve been, evidence will show I've only been getting better, and i will only continue to get better because nothing can or will stop me. I only care about a few compliments from people: the lyrics are great, the flow is great, the music is great. Im eternally grateful to all of you who have gone above and beyond these 3. Before this album, i only hoped that you would think at least one of them. every song after this. i know.
