about
Navigating through the minds of men who are not shy from expressing their feelings on previous songs from their individual catalogues, Johniepee and Jimmy Harwood team up with D.T to tackle some of the obscure thoughts that goes through their heads when they aren’t in the right headspace. D.T’s personal life and mental health has been deeply affected during the pandemic to the point where he had to seek therapy to keep him balanced while he adjusts to the new changes. It has helped him significantly to be more honest with his feelings instead of masking them because “you have to stay strong for the family”. The harmonious and catchy hook “Life, bills, contract deals, ain’t nothing to it cause I’m blood type real” expresses the many challenges they face but must keep their head high.
lyrics
Johniepee
Bank account on a hundred, minus a hundred, nothing
Write a 16 then I feel like something,
When I was 16 man I felt like jumping,
And now I sip tea, in the hellfire bumping
Isaiah Rashad or Cole, Mick Jenkins,
Water is for your soul, Shit's Hectic
Lately I've been hi key depressed, white nikes to flex,
Looking clean knowing I be the mess.
I've been under happy, over living,
Underpaid, Overwhelmed, think I know my limits.
I've been working on myself, she's like no you didn't
How you gonna be a man, when I just know you kidding.
Perspective is everything really, I'm just hoping to see
Fuck the shallows, My blood type prone for the deep,
And I be positive that everything I speak it'll be
So Imma cut the bullshit and start believing in me, but I'm still dealing with the…
Hook
Life, bills, contract deals
Ain’t nothing to it cause I’m blood type real
Nothing in this world that’s above my skills
Manifest it because I’m blood type real

Man. Life been tearing me apart
I’m. A grown man scared of the dark
Lost. Left my pride there in the park
Soul. Little fish viewed as a shark
Please. Don’t tell me that this is a phase
Help. Get me out of this rat race.
As. Long as I have my own place
Soon. You will respect my space
As. Long as your working on your mental
You. Will remain el presidential
Can. Live out the words that I’m into
Don’t. Let them in your mind free of rental
Wait. Conjure up all my mistakes
Any. Counterfeit, hoax fraud or fakes
Longer. Sadly that’s how they were raised
Fam. Was asleep now I’m awake
Avoid the snakes
Hook
Life, bills, contract deals
Ain’t nothing to it cause I’m blood type real
Nothing in this world that’s above my skills
Manifest it because I’m blood type real
Jimmy Harwood
Blood type legit
An oomph in my veins from the kick, like
I ain't ever got mad from a coin
But it sucks when you're broke
So the humble it is
18 i had a mad choice what i do?
Study hard or spit bars in the booth
Never sussed out that 9-5
'Cos my blood type like fire
Couple vibes higher than the roof
Mental wanna stay safe
Chuck all the gloom in the boat float away
Life, thrills, pills and K
Teenagers wonder why they're afraid
I've been a little bit scared so i'm kinda the same
Life been up and down
I've been sussing out
Ways to get it going up like elevators
Mind, body, soul refreshed from meditating
