ONCE UPON A TIME, I HAD FRIENDS AND PEOPLE LIKED ME

about

After relocating back to New Jersey from Atlanta and in wake of my Spike Lee placement, I began to realize that my circle of friends was....almost non-existent. Minimal support from friends, no support from family, the Spike Lee venture went from feeling like the best moment of my life to feeling like a failure. Friends promised to hang out only to not return texts and phone calls. I was alone. For real this time.

lyrics

Once upon a time, I had friends and people liked me
I used to get invited to house warmings and private parties.
I was the turn up king not even trying to be.
I was happy, unabashedly, genuinely.

Now I spend weekends masturbating and electioneering
campaigning about a dream I care about but others hardly do.
I wish I could blame someone else for this isolation
but like many things, it begins to feel too good to set free.

so I pour out a lil liquor for the old me, dead and gone.
he was a good guy, great energy, never do you wrong.
wildly misunderstood and maybe taken for granted.
did the very best he could with the cards he was handed.
