about
Back in November of 2021, I wrote this song at the lowest point in my creative confidence, being the first song I wrote sober in 2 years. I felt like Charles Barkley in Space Jam shooting his first free throw after the Monstars took his talent. Feeling as if I had lost not only my skill, but my passion for music as well. I wanted to quit music, and I wanted to quit in life. Unfortunately, these days I feel that this disposition has become commonplace in our generation, many of us frequently feeling out of place. Yet, I remained unyielding, and did not give in to giving up. I created this out of desperation yearning to create again and be comfortable in my own skin as an artist. I have no other choice to continue on this path, I have sown too many seeds, spending hours upon hours laboring and toiling, to give up before the harvest.
Let this song and every song I release after this be a testament of faith in my artistry.
And if this speaks to you and you believe in what I do, share this with every soul you think could benefit from hearing this song. Because I cannot do this alone and would love your help sharing this with the world.
I wouldn’t consider this song to be my best, nor my worst, but a very real reflection of who I am as a human and as an artist in this moment.
I present to you “Da Balance”
Thank you for listening.

lyrics
[Chorus]
Life’s all about the balance
Integrating, cultivating healthy habits
Sometimes it can be a challenge
Knowing how and when to pick and choose your battles
In life, trying to find the balance
Never wasting energy on things don’t matter
At times, it can be challenge
Trying to the keep the balance, just to try and find the balance
{Verse 1]
I can be my own worst enemy
Feeling trapped inside my mind
Overanalyzing, wasting all my time and my energy
Over what ain’t meant to be
Disturbing me from finding my inner peace
Got me caught in my own madness, leaving me distracted
From being all the things that I wanna be
With a little bit practice, less talking, and more action
Doing my best to try and tap into my power
By taking the steps to tackle problems I encounter
Taking the time to heal so I can clear my conscience
Of all of these negative thoughts that got my judgement clouded
In all of the times i feel those thoughts can be the loudest
I gotta remind myself that I can move the mountains
Even in moments when I’m not feeling the strongest
Knowing that everything will work out in long run ‘cause
[Chorus]
Life’s all about the balance
Integrating, cultivating healthy habits
Sometimes it can be a challenge
Knowing how and when to pick and choose your battles
In life, trying to find the balance
Never wasting energy on things don’t matter
At times, it can be challenge
Trying to the keep the balance, just to try and find the balance
[Verse 2}
I feel detached from reality
Got me losing all my patience, these demons that I’m facing
Make it hard to conjure up a strategy
For the things I wanna achieve
These days ideas don’t come to me naturally
For all the times I medicated to bypass my frustrations
And compensate for all of my anxieties
Leaving me complacent, diminishing my greatness
Doing My best to not fall victim to temptation
Even at times I feel it’s hard to catch a break when
I’m feeling all stressed with a thousand things upon my plate and
All of the tiniest things always seem to drive me crazy
Spiraling down these rabbit holes and situations
Plaguing my mind with all this constant speculation
My mind keeps telling me I could use some meditation
To focus on all of the things that ease my contemplation
