Little Death 03:58
You're deep in my abyss the waves wash over, this is bliss Big waves A little death Your sin is soaking my skin the waves crash over, medicine Big waves A little death

FFL 03:48
Remember when things seemed so uncomplicated? There was a time when things seemed so pure. Then we had to shade it, I feel jaded, mind's not made up yet. We should know better, we should know better, we should know. We fight, we fuck, we love Shame on shame on shame on you, Shame on shame on shame on me. We should know better, we should know better, we should know. You only want me when it's midnight, Say I'm so tight- treat your body right. I only want you when you pay me no mind, Drop me no line- you have no time. We should know better, we should know better, we should know.

Swirl 03:48
Girl I remember when, I was eleven and I could not tell you anything that was happening Our bodies changing faster then the seasons there was no rhyme or reason so much teasing I can't even. But now I let it out, take it in, let it go Cause no one needs to know And now I let it out, breathe you in, take it slow Cause we both need to know We chose not to have to choose We had nothing to lose And so I smoked the devil's lettuce while you finished off that booze You said who cares about their views I could take away your blues Let's forget about it all for one night, and see what happens But now I let it out, take it in, let it go Cause no one needs to know And now I let it out, breathe you in, take it slow Cause we both need to know Red lips, little bit of curls Soft skin, you make my mind swirl

Bumps 03:43
Any other day, I don't mind the rain. I'll take the time to sit back relax, pay focus to what's on my mind, I don't mind Any other day, I don't mind the pain I'll sink into it, hell I'm used to it, it's the same old shit I don't mind Today I might not make it Maybe I let things build up too much Today I just can't take it Baby I just need to feel your touch Today I just can't shake it Lately it doesn't seem like enough But any other day I had a dream last night I was driving my space boat, I was in the back seat Could only reach my foot to the gas What does it mean you ask? Well it's quite simple you see I have not been taking the time for me, I've been drinking to blackout for weeks. Feeling upside down, but it's hard to turn habits around. And through all this shit day in and day out, Tell me who has the time for a time out? - No excuses I will get myself straightened out- Facing demons Finding reasons why my minds out Today I might not make it Maybe I let things build up too much Today I just can't take it Baby I just need to feel your touch Today I just can't shake it Lately it doesn't seem like enough But any other day

Waiting 03:02
Say you gotta go and I know you shouldn't stay but she don't treat you good and I want to have my way and show you everything that you're missing Say you gotta go and I know that you should leave but we could be so right and I might be naive but it feels so good to be understood He said “relax girl, please let me in I promise to not get so under your skin cause you get me, I think that I get you So can we try to see something through please let me love you” Sometimes I think that I do this on purpose you'll end up leaving and I will deserve it My love is fleeting at best but she cannot give you the rest Say you gotta go and I know you shouldn't stay but she don't treat you good and I want to have my way and show you everything that you're missing Say you gotta go and I know that you should leave but we could be so right and I might be naive but it feels so good to be understood I'm waiting for you to realize.....

Blue Dream 03:52
(Tee Krispil) There’s war goin on around us, But these issues so beyond us We need time to heal our conscious Time to recognize our problems We so caught up in the dollars Ballers thinking that they run us Hundreds got us feeling grown up We so lost we need a compass. A young teen Fiending to be lean Wishing that my ass looked smaller in my jeans, I guess i lacked the self esteem to see that I was just a god under the sun But it all changed when i began to bun. (Jenny Lea) Mary Jane she was my first, at 13 quenched my thirst. She said come hang girl I can show you things. She came through that was cool, I got a little better at art school, we hung out almost every single day. You take my head to the clouds keep my feet on the ground Keep that weight off my shoulders you got me feeling so high SO HIIIIIIIIGHHHH (Tee Krispil) My first joint I got so paranoid Annoyed i couldn’t fill my voids With substances, abusive boys My vices always brought me joy But Mary Jane she taught how to love myself again And moments later I picked up my up my pen Took a day, just how my story went She taught me how to value health A different wealth So now i wake up sipping green juice Meditation, feeling well, I’m looking at my future Brighter than it ever has So every day I’m thanking Jah for the grass (Jenny Lea) Sometimes you'd steal the show, when I was only 22years old, he'd say you're biding up all of my time. Couldn't help that I wanted to, do nothing but kick it with you. You make me feel so good girl it's a shame You take my head to the clouds keep my feet on the ground Keep that weight off my shoulders you got me feeling so high (Tee Krispil) I like Blue Dream, Tangerine No tobacco leaves for me Cuz i prefer it nice and clean How nature wanted it to be No ego feed, no alchemy Cuz i smoke to gain prophecy And i see the way that we were meant to be Living peacefully in harmony Its easily a part of me But greedily it swallowed me Balance was the key You see like anything you have to regulate your intake, So burn up with intention not as a means to escape (Del Hunter of Shamash) Just Dream x3

Breathless 04:12
It's been awhile since I've felt this way It's been awhile since I've felt You got this way about you, you got this way about you, you got this sway about you You, you make me melt Those eyes are greener than the trees that give me oxygen to breathe Yet leave me breathless You make me feel a way inside that reminds me of the tide Swept away My blood is pumping heart is thumping Is this all a dream? Our bodies bumping hips are jumping Is this all a dream? Like the smoke from my puff, I don't mind if you hang around Though when it clears I must admit I feel turned around and around and around I'm self proclaimed damaged goods babe I'm not looking to leave that fire So come with the green and in more ways than one I can take you higher. My blood is pumping heart is thumping Is this all a dream? Our bodies bumping hips are jumping Is this all a dream?

Lay Me Down 03:51
You, lay me down, tell me you, you Two separate bodies One place in time, place in time What follows next is up to yours and mine, yours and mine. We spoke our words One place in mind, place in mind. So lead me there and we can see what we can find No smoke and mirrors Just us right here With my heart in your hand And your breath so near I feel you shiver You feel me shake As we come together I forget all of my aches You, lay me down, tell me you, you You whisper softly My hands are bound, hands are bound The way you look at me my walls come down, walls come down Bodies entwined Your lips on mine, lips on mine The heat is rising boy you're so damn fines You feel me shiver I feel you shake We come together, forget all of my aches You, lay me down, tell me you, you Lay me down, you've been found, screaming vowels

Dreaming realities of realising dreams My daddy took my hand and told me “girl you don't need to believe everything people tell you, in fact most of it's not true they want something from you.” Scheming formalities of formalising schemes My mother held my face and told me “babe you've got too many things up on your mind all of the time so take a step back try to unpack all the doubts and negativities hold on to only truth.” Sleepless nights with eyes wide open Dreamy days I'm running with them shut Who's the one that holds the scissors Never told me that I made the cut Dreaming realities, I'm on my hands and knees Scheming formalities, hold on to only these Thoughts in my mind, if you seek you shall find the truth Hold on to only this, hold on to only truth Sleepless nights with eyes wide open Dreamy days I'm running with them shut Who's the one that holds the scissors Never told me that I made the cut

about

I M U R’s debut album is lyrically transparent, broaching subjects such as substance use, abuse and recovery, non-traditional relationship and sexual dynamics, and the fine line between self-consciousness and self-awareness.

The production of Little Death is diverse and eclectic, ranging from boom bap to future beats with a focus on live instrumentation. Ghostly guitar licks, and jazzy piano chords are mixed with sticky beats and wobbly synths, glued together with Dilla-esq swing.
