    Earl raps like when Neo from the matrix was fighting at lighting speeds with a bored face. Going hard but with a relaxed demeanor....he know what he doing

    Earl light years ahead with the poetic intellect. He raps like an old man reincarnated; an OG living a second life, but in a young man’s body. He just talks to you like all that shit you think matters is bullshit. And he keeps it short and brief, like elaborating more on it is an energy drain for an old soul.
    Loving the production too.

    Lyrics:
    Strong spirit where the body couldn't get asylum
    The cost of living high, don't cross the picket line and get the virus
    Wild cat has got 'em in a bind, stay inside
    Know I came from out the thicket smilin'
    Mad hatters cappin' every line, it doesn't matter to the ten of five
    They start hackin' when they can't shrink us
    I found the middle in a bit of balance
    Fever in the cabin
    I knew where we was headed
    I ain't countin' no blessings, I sure as shit could measurе
    Blinkin' for some feasible mеthods to free yourself
    Split it with my hand like Cigarills
    Slick oil in a fish gill
    I fill a void with the pen, feel the fear, shrill
    Couple stains that I couldn't shield
    My brother, Brain, that we couldn't shield
    Couple came, couple went still
    And what remain of the wolves meal
    I held the page, gave the book ears
    Whispered "Thanks", hella pain, heavy rain in the CAT scales
    Played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends

    I remember when this dropped I was deep in addiction and had been living without emotions for awhile.
    I cried when I heard this track. “They start hacking when they can’t shrink us”.
    House burnt, all my friends n family left me alone and all I had was drugs to keep me goin. I refused to come outside because I didn’t want to see signs of evil intentions in the new area I was in while almost homeless. It was bad. Thank you Earl for your message homie. Love is Universal. To anyone that’s goin through it right now please remember to love yourselves.

      I need a solid year to fully break down and appreciate an Earl release every time. There’s so many different things to grab onto. You can vibe, you can listen for bars, you can do a lot with this man’s music in terms of how you want to appreciate it. First handful of listens are always just to vibe it out, once I can see where he’s going with the song I like to give the bars a listen. Earl is simplistic, but he’s far from boring
