If you do it my way
You get faded when life plummets
If you're going south
You're headed for Southern Comfort
Although it can push you to jumping or acting the dummy
Like spending all of your money cause you just got made redundant
But retail therapy's the only one for your budget
So Dr. denim is the only therapist you're funding
Besides
He lets you prescribe
Any drugs that you like
To get high as the rent you need to cover
Even though at home you've got a lady missing your loving
And you've got sons you need to lead like Marcus Mumford
And you've got bills to pay
But you need a real escape
So you hit the town harder as punches from Muhammad
1 bag, 2 pills, 3 shots before leaving yours
By 5 your face is in the gutter
But you'll be back next week
Throwing your hands up in the club
Like woo girls from 'How I Met your Mother' tryna cover the pain
Bounce
All my people feeling down
If you're loving the sound
Then let me see you get around me
You got sorrows you need to drown
Get around me
And lets try and pretend
That Shit is astounding huh
Everybody bounce
All my people feeling down
If you're loving the sound
Then let me see you get rowdy
By another round now
You should get rowdy
And lets try and pretend
That Shit is astounding uh huh
REMI created this song (with producer Sensible J) to reflect the cycle of depression when life's problems cause a dive into alcohol/drugs. Melodic and accessible, I'm enjoying catching up with this Melbourne-based hip-hop artist. This Most Important cut is a single from his recently released second album, Divas and Demons. For another vibe, check out this bonus track from REMI's debut LP with it's old school, upbeat chill (if that makes sense).
