Check It Out

01/19/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Check It Out” is my 68th official release. This is the last release from the “Party Politics” album/era. This was self-record but mixed and mastered by Sam Peters at La Luna in Kalamazoo Michigan. The beat is by Anno Domini and the cover art is by  xoxodesigns from fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

Lyrics:

A yo, what could?

I’m Eric, what’s good?

I inspire minds by rhyming lines

Film, designs, and mesmerize

I used to go hard but I stopped the aggression 

I felt it wasn’t needed and shouldn’t be the message

I’m focused on the soul and providing a lesson 

Like pick up the book and put down the weapon

I’d rather kick back on tracks 

Then get jacked, and put cats on blast

Primates work better in groups 

This really isn’t news 

I’m illustrious

My lyrics have substance

It gives your ears sustenance

To listen to the love I give 

The world a cold place and I’m try’na make it better 

Remind you of times that bring us together 

Like celebrating birthdays, graduation or Earth Day

Life comes in waves, hope your down for the sur-fang

The vibe feels like a hot day out in the water park 

Or an other day with the sprinkler out up in the yard

I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles

For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child

For the academics, the young and wild

That like the aesthetic, swag, and style      

I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles

For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child

For the academics, the young and wild

That like the aesthetic, swag, and style    

If hip-hop made me miserable man I’d quit

But I take joy in all of it, whether I listen or spit

I know I can make it, if you put me on your playlist

On tour these songs will double as stage hits

So if you like it spit it back to me

In the metro retroactively 

Attracting what you’d rather be 

Then attacking and some tragedy 

Know I’m down for whatever

Get high on endeavors 

Winning hearts and minds for the better

Spending time together 

Feelin like kids

Playin without rules  

Crankin up tunes 

Talkin bout the news

Leave behind the drama

Track money with commas

Love fans and the genre

I stand for karma. 

Can’t change your lineage or history

Say “It realy isn’t up to me” 

But I can change my attitude 

And show myself some gratitude

Rather cipher than a battle

Ride the beat like a saddle

Have some fun, and spread some love 

And hope that we go platinum

Cuz I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles

For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child

For the academics, the young and wild

That like the aesthetic, swag, and style    

I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles

For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child

For the academics, the young and wild

That like the aesthetic, swag, and style
