Name: T.Y.T. (Take Your Time)
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: Here's a song I produced with Dustin aka. Dozy in Vancouver in summer 2019, well before the pandemic hit. We rented a rehearsal space at Pandoras Box and tracked some live percussion and bass. We tracked the vocals in East Vancouver, and I rented Serum on splice for a lot of the synth sounds and FX that you hear in the song. I hope you enjoy!

TYT (Take Your Time) lyrics

Chorus: I carried a lot for you, because I care a lot. I’m not stressed from you, I’m stressed for you and love is what I got. (Yo…)

Verse: It’s like time is running out. Battery life’ low and things are going south.
Should I give in or stick it out? Because it’s a given; a reason to live in
a space outside this prison.
I hold the vision. The drastic divide and conquer tactics that sit in on our sit ins,
Been causin’ division but def ears can’t listen. (Listen…)
We in sensory overload ‘til we can’t hear, see or sense.
It’s intense. Living in constant suspense.
“How you gonna pay that rent?” (Damn…)
Lookin’ for another place to stay again. Learnin’ how to pray again.
Havin’ faith that the currents will sway again, but ‘til that day my friend.
Hold your head high up and don’t mess it right up.
Maybe that’s not yours and that’s my stuff, and I’m projectin’,
but if I teach you how to write bars it’s not meant to threaten.
Just know that these tools aren’t weapons.
Each-one-teach-one. Grass roots autonomy over chord progressions,
for your discretion. Mic’ checkin’ when we step in.
