Sean Divine - "Highs and Lows" (Album)

Credits & Lyrics

Lyrics:
Yeah I been hitting before the bass line
You ain’t gotta recognize I’m going harder every night
Behind the scenes, ripple in time
I’m flowing though your stereo
Boost the highs, taming the lows
Ten years in feels like I’ve just begun
You’re searching for paper stacks and I already won
I found out the truth is here hidden deep inside
Nothing external, it’s pure love maternal
Every single girl that loved me I pushed away
Not for lack of care, the depth just wasn’t there
Everybody’s scared to death of being alone
For me that’s when the great ideas start flowing
Don’t know what you’re capable of ’til you lose it all
Keep dodging obstacles, I’d rather take the fall
Journey through hell and hot fire to get here
Be damned if I let your energy fill me with fear
I’ve been starting to realize my essence lately
If your intent phony, don’t conversation me
Real ones hang around long enough to know
Men of few words let the music introduce the flow
Don’t get confused ’cause I care so much
That’s just how I live my life, golden views, Midas touch
Never been the realistic type see
But the reality is you better look out for me

Lyrics:
My message isn’t complicated, heavily abbreviated
I’m so glad you waited, even when we make it
Never graduated we just stepping up our flow
All you looking for is the dough
I got both feet going through the floor
Love this music daily know I give a damn about award shows
You could take the credit man, I did it for my sons though
If you don’t have the man up above and your heart feel the love
Fear is all you see, I kept falling deep in the cracks and swiftly found out it about me
Creeping through the city people hurting man you’d never know
Some of us falling deep into depression but we’re back for more
Just a freestyle to vent on the Sunday
Games on, lights bright you ain’t even gotta think I’m nice, I get it
You feeling empty, go with it
Society might not feel it but
You gotta say what you mean out here
If you really want to make a difference
Know they can sell you everything as long as it’s in the pocket
Man the kicks and snare are popping
All the lies, just stop it
Rebirth it starts today and I’m feeling a certain way
And I came out here to prove to the doubters
Man my faith is up louder
You might have rattled me one time
Now I got peace of mind it’s Divine, like whoa
Never concerned with the plays or attention, did I fail to mention

I’ve been out here praying for my foes
Friends who rooting for you come and go
Most high’s staying with me that I know
This music helps me deal with all the highs and lows

Oh don’t let them weigh down your soul
If you can dream about it you can be about it
Oh don’t hang your head for too long
If you can dream about it you can get up out of here

Rap it up and I stack it up, when it feels right
Underestimated my craft, yea but I do what feel like
Produce it, write it, mix and master take it home
Caught me in the zone, Lord let it be known

That I don’t want these brights all on me today
Use this music for curing my anxiety
When the world is too much I don’t know what to say
I just keep my faith and my focus to be

On top of this mountain, I been climbing more than many folks but
I know I deep down we all got issues that you can’t approach
No victims to our circumstance
Don’t care what they pay, don’t do that dance
You don’t need approval from everyone
Just go with your heart and know you the one
Billion pennies stack up so slowly when you’ve been under the pressure
That’s with any investment worth all the time and the lessons
One day you look back reflecting on who you were, it’s a blessing
Know thyself, keep it humble, show this love in confession

I’ve been out here praying for my foes
Friends who rooting for you come and go
Most high’s staying with me that I know
This music helps me deal with all the highs and lows

Oh don’t let them weigh down your soul
If you can dream about it you can be about it
Oh don’t hang your head for too long
If you can dream about it you can get up out of here

+ Off the Wall

Produced by Sean Divine

Lyrics:
My flow is off the wall

Your flow
Y’all trip off some triplets
I get, get, get, get this
It was a freestyle I went back and ripped it, yeah you know
I swear this was purely off the top
But I speak from my heart
And we did it since the start
Everyday I’m in here, working hard
Trying to bring some value to your home
Teach ’em something that they might not have known
I’m sitting here drinking ginger tea ’cause it’s real man
Stay conscious as we run it

My flow is off the wall
Yeah, yeah
You hear me when I call
Yeah, yeah
They follow we lead ’em all
Yeah, yeah
Don’t doubt when I said that I ball
Yeah, yeah
Foot in the door and I’m fittin’ to get it now

Foot in the door, yeah
I switched up the flow, yeah
Just ’cause you reach out
Don’t mean you’re a friend to me
Burn off the leaches
Long legs, I got energy yeah
I been staying true even if ain’t to you
When you want me to swim in the wrong waters
Grab a float and catch the gulf stream
Swim in the ocean surrounded by sharks
They show me love overseas, no frenemies
Got my goggles on tight, freestyle land or water
Some of y’all won’t stop to bother
You just want a win for yourself
Some gotta carry the team and spread wealth, yeah
I don’t mind we got the crew live
They got my backside and we fly higher

I had some doubts up in my head for so long
They all tried to tell me that my dreams were so wrong
I had this faith deep down and man I knew it all along
Too bad you just tried to come around when you heard the song
Yeah, yeah you oughta knew
Surround myself with realness
I can smell the phony
Lunch meat, baloney
Life can be so serious sometimes
This one I wanted to lighten up my rhymes
You ain’t gotta overthink it
Take a deep breath and vibe with me

+ Deepmind

Produced by Sean Divine

Lyrics:
Thought I dropped the ball but I’m coming for it
I don’t gotta tell you, better run Forrest
6 minute mile, yea I’m working hardest
Faith up in the sky wins from the most high, oh yea
Most of ’em said I’d be a slave to delinquency but
They don’t know what I feel driven by the truth that’s inside of me
Egos and odds been stacked against me, all day
The worst of it all is thoughts and words I didn’t say
Maybe in the past you got the best of me
Recently been getting the feeling, potential the ceiling
My talent risen to lead ’em we living now
Dark clouds that surround now we clear ’em out

Get lost up in my deep mind all the time
Sift through memories, rewind
Get lost up in my deep mind all the time
Sift through memories, rewind
The past reminds us
It can’t define us

First album, OK, but I’m not the same
Told ’em I was coming back created my own lane
Still do it from the heart I don’t care of you say
True artists do it for the love, never fade on ’em
Slim 165 dropped the weight on ’em
Quit caring what you think of me
Stay cool, collect pure energy
This music ain’t just fun, it’s everything yea
Stop chasing clout for a minute just so you can sink up in it
It’s crazy far we’ve come but you know we’re never finished

Get lost up in my deep mind all the time
Sift through memories, rewind
Get lost up in my deep mind all the time
Sift through memories, rewind
The past reminds us
It can’t define us

Lyrics:
I’ve been going through it lately
Testing my patience, this world wants to break me down
Some of you seeking, I’m giving
Fruits of the labor, y’all flexing I’m living aloud
Aging like fine wine I’m counting these pennies
Place the highest value on my time
Try to be a son of the most of the high
Reflect brightness and contrasting low vibes to the death
Lack of balance and not enough rest
Doubt take me through the fire, I woke up in cold sweats
She whispers I equate to nothing
But we all know you’re up to something
Cause my soul stays heavy like the D-line
Place my worth up above, never anchored to your love or acceptance
Even when I get quite reckless
Ahh, I made it through the darkness, thank heavens

Pour my soul out into every word I share with you
Had to find out that some people never want the truth
Oh no, I stay buried in your love most lately
All the times you had my back when I was fading

The sun is shining poking through the clouds
If you didn’t get it last time, the time is now
I switched up my flow never worried about the dough
Cause the intention is worth way much more
I get it how I live it
I let my ego go for a trip, no return
Success measured by surface views, I let you discern
Between the buried and me is something you can’t see or imagine but you know it’s there
Like the goosebumps on the back of my neck while I rap this verse
Or the times I forgot how I was raised, nearly landed in a hearse
With my loved ones crying endlessly
I was a lost soul and you might be too
I hope you see there’s something greater than me and you
Together we can find a light promote it, let it shine bright
Take over the doubts never fall victim to fears
Overthrow darkness, bloody tears

Some want to see a man’s downfall
They won’t tell you like it is
While they’re sitting on the sidelines
And you’re out getting your wins

Fear will make a man paralyzed
Locked up in a box like a TV telling lies
Folks get led astray before they even realize
Woke up too late in the game
Now my life flashed before my eyes now
My life flashed before my eyes

+ Fluid

Produced by Sean Divine
Performed by Sean Divine and Ami Kim

Lyrics:
Somedays I struggle through the words to say to you
If it comes to easily, then it’s not the truth
Trying to get my mind right, living in the fast life
Studio all night, mix all day
But when it’s said and I done I tell em
You’re more than enough
Spent years looking for you, it’s no lie
Never letting up, it’s on God’s time
She’s been looking deep into my blue eyes
Didn’t take her long to see I ain’t no fool
Take you out to Oslo, we can get away
It’s so fluid how you stay, respect my grind
And every day get realer

They recognize how we do it
Just stepped outside and it’s fluid
Some hesitate and we knew it
But we ain’t gotta overthink through it

They recognize how we do it
Just stepped outside and it’s fluid
Got intellect I’m in to it
But we ain’t gotta overthink through it

What’s real, it’s real when we can talk what’s deep up on our hearts
Fueled by passions we had from the very start, you know
Dreamers never die until you settle
These feelings pour down on the instrumental
This time the truth hurts
I don’t want to let you down
So I let you move first
At peace with who I am now
Got tired of overthinking, I was drinking
Couldn’t think straight
But you washed away the fear
Brilliance I’d not seen in years

They recognize how we do it
Just stepped outside and it’s fluid
Some hesitate and we knew it
But we ain’t gotta overthink through it

They recognize how we do it
Just stepped outside and it’s fluid
Got intellect I’m in to it
But we ain’t gotta overthink through it

I can’t overthink you, wow
I’d find a way somehow to show you the truth
Got me lost in the now
Feels like you’re sent from above
You’re more than enough

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
You’re more than enough
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
You’re more than enough

They recognize how we do it
Just stepped outside and it’s fluid
Some hesitate and we knew it
But we ain’t gotta overthink through it

They recognize how we do it
Just stepped outside and it’s fluid
Got intellect I’m in to it
But we ain’t gotta overthink through it

+ How Many Days

Produced by Sean Divine

Lyrics:
I was searching for something I could not find in myself
I had to reach outside and now it’s automatic
Truth above all the static
You save me from something tragic
Right back at it again
Wake up a new day, we call it a win
If the last song’s a seven then we going for ten
Don’t do it for attention or the mentions
Intervention like an AA meeting, put it all on the table
None of us is perfect, that’s a fable
Bring your troubles to the most high and lay it up
Always got you covered if you willing and you able

How many days we got left, who knows
Try to live my life right, not for the photo
Might not get another chance before you grow old
Some things you gotta hold tight and others you better let go

Why can’t we have this conversation, just tell me how you feel
I know it’s been about that money man but it’s time we got real
We’ve been out here chasing things that never make us right inside
All the glitz and glamour could be taken in a blink of an eye
So tell me who are you now, when you got it stripped away or got the pay
Either way you feel the same way, think about it
You bound to be a victim of your circumstances once or twice
But it’s your choice whether or not you gonna let it rule your life

How many days we got left, who knows
Try to live my life right, not for the photo
Might not get another chance before you grow old
Some things you gotta hold tight and others you better let go

These times will fade away
This life will pass you by
Been lost out in the dark
You know we need a light
These times will fade away
This life will pass you by
Been lost out in the dark
You know we need a light

How many days we got left, who knows
Try to live my life right, not for the photo
Might not get another chance before you grow old
Some things you gotta hold tight and others you better let go
