Cold Showers EP

"Woken up by the reality of life, Cold Showers is a dialogue on trust issues, abandonment, overcoming obstacles, and a sprinkle of toxic masculinity. Having moved to a new city (Toronto), I found myself flustered by the vastness of the concrete jungle, and found myself slightly emotional that I had to leave Montreal behind (and the people I knew there). I was also heavily influenced by Drake's sound off of CLB, and his previous works, so I wanted to make this album as an homage to him for inspiring me to make music in the first place."

Front Cover

Inspired by the colours of Certified Lover Boy, I wanted to categorize my songs through unique little icons that described each song. I remember I sat down, one lonley night in my apartment in Toronto, and sketched down with my own hands on a note pad. I then scanned it and uploaded the icons onto my editing software so that I could create it into an album cover, and honestly, I think it turned out perfect. A major inspiration for this EP was also because of my cousin, Ibrahim, who said that I need to really tap into my emotional bag and use less autotune on my songs. We used to drive around Markham and bump CLB all day, and he'd hear me sing Fair Trade and say "Bro, you've actually got a good voice." So much so, it reached a point where we teamed up to make our own song together on Pour It Up & Games, and boy, I think those are some of the best songs on the album.

Back Cover

I was going through a major phase of Growth, in my personal life, so I wanted to represent that by the plant leaves, as that symbolizes life. If enough water is applied, it grows and blossoms. The dice on Games are representative of the games we all play with one another, especially in our personal relationsips. The thunder on Violence represents the energy I bring to the song, really provoking the feeling of 'violence.' The human icon on Lies is a reminder that our words really have a strong impact on people, and found myself falling into the temptation of lying about my true feelings with someone I was seeing at the time. Because of these feelings, I found myself Pouring It Up 4 Da Night to help me categorize the pain and understand it, to the point where I would drink so much and start to feel Wavy, and that's when it all comes crashing down.

Lyrics

Growth

Verse 1:

Praise to the most high

Never thought that I would make it through all the lies

They sell you on an image but never tell you how to you make it, i just pull it back and chase it

But I stayed strong and kept pacing

I just,

Put the lyrics on the beat

Play it back and run it through I put it back up on repeat

I’m loading up my shot like I be curry on the 3

Who gave me the opportunity to flex that I'm a brown boy on the beat?

I don’t know, I don’t know

Back in high school,

It started with a diss that made me think that I was cool

But little did I know, it was only a tool to make me look like a fool

But I just took it on and ran with it,

Now I plan and master it

I’m dancing causing ravages

I use the law of averages, and leave the outcome as it is

And you know that I damage it when I mix it with the additives

I’m making it my narrative

Like Adam with the apples did

Oh my

Bridge:

Oh my, take time

Take time, take (tick) time

Take time

The fake smiles

The fake peeps

The fake smiles

The fake laughs

The faith grows what fate has

Chorus:

Gotta go through growth

Anytime that I be doing it, I do the most

Do it big (x3)

I do the most

I let it grow

I do it big

Let it go!

Verse 2:

I got thoughts on my mind,

Money on my mind

I’m boutta do it any other day,

I got a dime

I got a dime and a dream

And the money is so green

Cuz you know that it is clean

And we boutta go and gleam

Put the vision on the map

Put the mission on a rap

Put the vision on attack

Imma take it out on back

Then I put the city on the fucking map

And then I know I’m about to get it cuz I glow

Pick baby

What you tryna pick for the background, for the flick?

I’ll take you anywhere up in this world, up in this bitch

She got the ice cream swirl on her nails and her hips

Baby, what you tryna do?

Ayyy

Light it up, light it up ayyy

I made it count on Canada up on the canopy

Gave ‘em food for thought and gave ‘em the philosophy.

I’m counting up (x3)

Chorus:

Gotta go through growth

Anytime that I be doing it, I do the most

Do it big (x3)

I do the most

I let it grow

I do it big

Let it go!

Games

Intro:

Man I heard for a little while

Long time in a little while

Shawty gave me that real smile

But I know that she be playing games

Man I know that I be going insane

I know that I be doing it like every other day but,

Man fuck all that

Man…

Verse 1 (Mohali):

Yeah, yeah

Why you play these games, why you play these games?

All of those that say my name in vain

On the top this year, I can’t complain

The life I live, the life I lead

When I’m back up in the ring they calling me Ali

Back up in the studio they calling me Mohali

When I’m burning bridges man they melting like it’s Dali

I probably won’t stop, till I can say finale

My life is as crazy as it seems, Wallahi you know

Man you know what’s up

Any time that I be running up I do it up the most, like I…

Verse 2 (Khando):

Why you playing games, why you playing these games?

I’m just making waves staying in my lane

I just hit the haze, Shawty at my place

Shawty switching up, Shawty with these lames… these lames

And I wouln’t do it twice all over

She thinking I’m a soldier when I pull up in the rover

Switching up these bars

Two seater Maserati, Abu Dhabi dogs

Changing up the cars

Lighting up the stars

Life is so fast, I just gotta take a pause

Shawty so fine, I don’t need a fucking clause

Scratching on my back with them shiny ass claws

Then she hit me with the…

“It’s getting late” so I gave her that Mebame

Me being me every Friday, me being me everyday

Money making everyday, cops patrolling

Gotta keep balling

Shawty doing sales, shawty go to Yale

Now she on a commission kicking and she wanna go

Man on the moon and I’m balling

Chilling with the homies yeah we balling

Shawty text me she crawling

Shawty text me she falling

Ships sailing…

Outro:

We fading

We feeling

We going

We going till we can’t stop until you know it

Till you know it

You know this

You want it

You need it

Violence

Chorus:

I got the gas, whole lotta class, whole lotta mileage

I got a cash, whole lotta stacks, whole lotta wildin'

I'm in the store, I like what I see, I like what I'm buying

I am a savage, running it through, I'm back with the violence

Verse 1:

Back with the violence, I wanna stack all my cash and put it on islands

I wanna eat all my dinners with pasta and vino in a room full of Italians

I wanna go to the stables and bet all my money, I put it on stallions

I wanna buy all the land in my country and give it all back to the balance

Giving it back to the balance, giving it back to the people

Letting them know that we in this together like you is my equal

This is the way that I'm telling my story like this is my sequel

Speaking it into reality, this is the start, this is the prequel

Bridge:

Say what I mean, I mean what I say, I'm paying no mind to the things you say

I'm playing my part, I'm doing my thing, send me the addy, I'm right on my way

I ain't the type to go back on my word, unless you the type to go back on they word

Worlds hold a tonne of respect in my wold, and if you're fucking it up then I know it's worth

Chorus:

I got the gas, whole lotta class, whole lotta mileage

I got a cash, whole lotta stacks, whole lotta wallet

I'm in the store, I like what I see, I like what I'm buying

I am a savage, running it through, I'm back with the violence

Verse 2:

Dialing the number she gave me,

Dialing her number, fugazi

Thinking the fuck did she play me?

Thinking I'm rocking my baby

Rock-a-bye baby, put them to sleep

I got a stick and I'm sweeping the streets

Running the game like I'm running with cleats

I want a milli so I'm keeping it brief

Keeping it brief with the location

Switch up my ting like it's rotation

I gotta get it, no pro-ration, I gotta get in, no pro-ration

Whip got a stick

Look at the way that we pro-racing

Look at the way that we gon' race it

Look at the way that we gon' lace it, huh

Bridge:

Bout to go on one, she bout to go on one, and I gotta go on one

Like I'm on one, like I'm on two, and I got two, cause I got three

And I got me, and I got you, and we gone be, like we on top

And we gone see, like everything we gone see

Chorus:

I got a gas, whole lotta class, whole lotta mileage

I got a cash, whole lotta stacks, whole lotta wildin'

I'm in the store, I like what I see, I like what I'm buying

I am a savage, running it through, I'm back with the violence
