    Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.

    How We Roll is the official final track to the album. DDwili Style, Milky, OK, and Vanilla Dome are all songs that I wrote and recorded during the process of Brother, but felt they didn't necessarily match the album's theme.

(Hook) When you walk through the darkness It's not as bad as you imagine when you get there, you will see that when you walk through the darkness You're not alone you will find those that will be there when you need a light Raw raw for my brothers (x3) (Verse 1) Stop (breathe), take a deep breath and reflect on the pressures that are forming in your head Check the stress and see if it's worth it Abandon any damage that you deem as worthless Harder done than said, The heart is hard to barter with Harping that it is smart enough to start again A bargain is tragic, lethargic's my action Embarked with no traction in darkness I'm trapped in Dwelling in the dark won't change much You can find light if you let your eyes readjust I know it's hard to find the will to carry on When everything that happening in life seems very wrong But remember this Nostalgia plagues the mind whenever people tend to reminisce Good times are relished as bad times are faded That's why we develop darkness so I'm saying (Hook) (Verse 2) Look, (pause), you're not on your own You can check the vicinity or glance in your phone Stone walling ain't healing, sealing everything inside makes the ride hard to deal with Find a mode of happiness to channel your chakra Fight the foes and sap the stress that handles your mantra Grind and grow with laughs and bless the people you love so you can Light and glow when sadness makes a stand to your construct Trust me when I say it gets better The chest pains will go away and when your head hurts just Vent if you need to, spend cents if you need to Transcend to the end of the stress and just breathe I know we're not accustomed to a Death of a friend or loss of a loved one But you're not outta options If you need a brother well we got some so (Hook) (Outro) Shoutout Jayb, you my brother Ice Berg, you my brother Blue Squad, you my brothers Cullen, you my brother for real Yo Ethan, you my brother Yo Didgeridoo, you my brother Yo Mika, you my brother Yo Nebula, you my brother (uh) B.K., you my brother Cliche, you my brother Yo Sloppy, you my brother Mike Wing, you my brother, homie

Time Slips 04:19
(Hook)x2 Life is way too short I just wish I had more time (Time flows and it goes with the ticking clock) (Time flows and it goes with the ticking clock) Life is way too short I'll just focus on my grind (You start out low but you slowly make it to the top) (You start out low but you slowly make it to the top) (Verse 1) Spending my hours at work as the dawn approaches the dusk I'm freaking bout my free time and I wonder if I have enough I need a change, another way to keep me sane I have been trained to refrain from breaking my chains Never, have I ever been lost in a smog consisting of the time that I spent on the clock and I... just want this to be done with (done with) So I can go out and do somethin (somethin) Be unshackled by all this dumb shit (dumb shit) To be free of it is my one wish I'm hoping that my hopes weren't in vein Leaving me stranded without an ambition to gain any fame But as long as I'm trapped in the penny game (penny game) living by paycheck it will stay the same But I, don't want this time go to waste Or else it will all slip away (Bridge) Or else it will all slip away Or else it will all sliip awaay bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye bye bye, time (Verse 2) Believe me when I tell you that I'm seeking out an opportunity to find a way out of this situation I'm facing I stand adjacent when really I should be placing A foot in a door but will it allure, me to the road of the riches galore or will it be all for nought Offer thoughts I need some support calling My brothers I'm needing a shoulder because time is running short I've had this fire in my chest man (chest man) Ever since I was just a freshman (freshman) Freestyling in Keene to impress fans (Impress fans) Be wild and free is my testament Now once I acquire the key to my locks This fire will be free and they'll see what I got But I, don't want this time to go to waste Or else it will all slip away (Bridge) Or else it will all slip away Or else it will all sliip awaay bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye bye bye, time (Hook)

(chorus) Let me take it to the road let me take it to the road I can't stand it here, I wanna get out I just wanna find something new so Let me take it to the road let me take you to the road the demand is near, I can sense it clear I just wanna find something new so (verse) Imma pack my bags, Imma pack my things I wanna travel all over the world my car is my only friend I need a lesson that I'll learn so it will earn me an end burn me again, I tell you scorn me my friend, you Won't know what'll happen till it happens to you But if I turn a blind side I won't be finding the truth finding the truth, outside of the box I'm in All the minutes I remain my life will stay the same I need a needle, I got a compass in my veins I'm running without no aim My brains feeling plain but it steadily glows with the traffic and I'm ready so (verse2) Fuck a flight I will roadtrip, on my longboard coastin The only times I've moved were college and whenever folks did Now I notice that I'm on my own shit The heart is where the home is and that alone is my Focus Yeah, I'm sure I'll make mistakes Cheesing to be leaving well I hate this place Driving to a point til a case gets made Carving hills and coasting till a way is paved I figure the bigger the goal the bigger I figure the outcome I'll saddle to travel the road the homies are wondering how come what could be driving you, what do you strive to do Is there a reason for you leaving? Well I found one (Heh) And it might sound dumb but Are there people famous in Derry, well I count none D-Town has showed me a drought so it's Peace now my homies, I'm out

My mind is here to stay I'll make no attempt to stray away Reality is not what it seems I'll just keep on having these pleasant dreams
8.
(Hook) what if this is imaginination What if this is all make believe What if I'm just in a coma what if this is all just a dream Because I'm, not sure if living in the moment is fine Just unwind, into the fantasy that gives you good vibes (Verse) every night my dreams are lucid Sometimes they float away other times when I'm wide awake I feel like my vision degrades living the same plain game while my aim is missing Running thru strange grainy plains like the phase has shifted They invade my system, the dreams I can't control but when their haze is lifting, I see a twilit road which makes me praise this gift that, grants me ethereal thoughts that I brought as the sleep makes my Eyelids roll but who knew that one day I'd become the man who'd cruise on through this dream land And the nightmares that are chasing me Seem far more authentic than reality so what is the reason I need to be sleeping in order to bring out my mind? I learn via a tesseract causing a wrinkle in time folding the fabric of space and life All within my dreams My consiousness erasing the lies playing make believe I'd like to pretend I'm someone else created in a thought But when my eyes open my dream bubble pops Real life feels so dull to my inner thoughts It's without a doubt questions begin to drop like (Hook)
9.
(Intro) (Yawn) Woah Oh wow, oh really wow oh really woah (Hook) I got a Shine, Shine An Idly Dream Yawn, Idly Dream Yawn (x2) (Verse) Yo my quest for the purp will leave my breath tubes hurt Prepped with the best but prepared for the worst yall I got a shine, and I'm doing fine Trippy sensations go down my spine and it feels sublime Woah, I'm yawning like crazy Can't complete my sentences without... ADHD kickin in while slippin in and out so pardon me if I'm not listening (Hook) (Outro) Wow Such Shine Many Idly Dream Yawns So Trippy Wow Wow
10.
(Intro) Revive Revive (Verse 1) We feel revived as we breathe in the morning light ready to go despite all of the warning signs We're doing fine, we don't need no shine to figure all the secrets that we left behind Out the alcove zipping into our coats packing into the bandwagons that we all drove in Suppose when opposing factors tend to just factor in like part-time work and rent, but does that even matter then? 9 We've got to party and party and drink and drink til we hit the brink and emerge from the haze As the day breaks and we part our ways The flames fade thus ends our party phase for now The summer days are long the winter nights are longer A couple flames ignite and cinders burn for hours And hours and hours but when they gonna catch on me? and burn me down (Hook) How do you party all day all night and you still feel revived? When all the demons have been flushed away do you still feel revived? How do you party all day all night and you still feel revived? (Bridge) How you party all day all night and you(x3) And you still feel revived? How you party all day all night and you(x3) And you still feel revived? (Verse 2) The next day rolls around as my head pounds Tar's clogging my throat the ick of liquor's in my mouth Work's in a half an hour, hop in the bath and shower Wash away memories long gone that the past devoured As I fasten my belt adjust my neck tie (neck tie) I'm wondering when there'll be a next time (next time) Yeah, to kick it with my boys And I'm digging up some coins so I can buy another pack and I Hope it lasts the night brother cuz imma gonna go hard My jobs until 11 so I'll have a slow start But that's not stopping me, I'm sure I'll find a way To down every last one of these IPAs Tonight, tonight I'll have a fine time But if I drink this glass of water I'll be fine, right? The party is the focus found in my line of sight And I'm like, now it's time to feel Revived (Hook)

(Hook) When I think about all my friends I wonder when does the friendship end Here's the message I'm trying to send That someday the beat will end All the bonds with the people I met All the thoughts that reside in my head As I live on when those are dead I know That someday the beat will end (Verse 1) Bum a couple cigarettes from my homies Got no problem sharing cuz they know me Precious normal moments feel so OG But if they left me then I'd feel real lonely And as I'm ripping drags I reflect on kicking back To times where the act was living lax But then the beat changed mise en scene now I ask Did we follow the right track on our different paths? I mean, some got a job from college Some became a dad or mom with callings But me? I feel like I'm stalling stuck in the past where we're all freefalling They say they'll call often but I'm not so sure Our beat has passed on like it was a brochure And on it reads that it's time for the Second Act But the first one felt too quick, it takes me back To old relationships long since gone Girlfriends and gentlemen long since gone The world has settled and brought a new dawn and It's time that I change and it's time I grew strong (Hook) When I think about all my friends I wonder when does the friendship end Here's the message I'm trying to send That someday the beat will end All the bonds with the people I met All the thoughts that reside in my head As I live on when those are dead I know That someday the beat will end (Verse 2) my Life doesn't lack a lesson But the Second act doesn't act my method No amount of practice prepped my message That when a beat plays everything is destined To end, like your favorite novel Or a glass of wine when you've saved the bottle For that special night, uh, one ripe with lust But eventually that moment too bites the dust And I'm a fighter cause I wanna try to save days But no one seems to wanna try to share my wavelengths So they move on and I'm stuck in the same pain Bargaining my mind with a buck for a game change But this is my story, fantasy and dreams Nothing will change the way that I'm handling the beat Even when my memories are lost and dimley fleeting I'm hoping for a present with my chimney sweeping Where moments like these breed no darkness Where the beats at ease and I'm free to start with anything, and spit some words that help a brother rest and get with the Third act (Hook) When I think about all my friends I wonder when does the friendship end Here's the message I'm trying to send That someday the beat will end All the bonds with the people I met All the thoughts that reside in my head As I live on when those are dead I know That someday the beat will end (Verse 3) Glory to the challenge that I've seemed to fought Up until this point my balance was not on spot I have an aurora borealis stream of thoughts and Rewarding my story with some beats is a dream I got (yeah) Music is the brother with the most soul Telling me it's fine to open up, don't close so I'll Lay the track down so the world can watch it spit sound I can't back out like the girl I've talked shit about But even the bad ones can have a stage I've a knack to sample tracks to replace a face A couple cracked eggs nesting in a dozen but none of my troubles fade unless I do justice Some will perpetrate my conflicts Some will stay and make my life the bomb shit Some will stray away but let's be honest that A lotta cats will blast off like Team Rocket (heh) But I got a hang of the structure Music's the place where I can say that I fucked her Music's the place where I can fade all the others and Music is the place where I place my brothers (Hook) When I think about all my friends I wonder when does the friendship end Here's the message I'm trying to send That someday the beat will end All the bonds with the people I met All the thoughts that reside in my head As I live on when those are dead I know That someday the beat will end

Brother 04:36
(Verse 1) I'm scoping a proper way so I can channel my Animus The music is dope but my chakra can't handle the Cannibus I give it a chance to click digging down deep where my phantoms live I'm needing a Lantern to read all the patterns decrypting whatever the answer is And you know? Sometimes my intuition listens with the chest and not the vision Even when potentially the mission insists that it's best to be quitting If I don't I will be scarred, burning ambitions and leaving them charred Dwelling on things that cannot be changed as I look for reasons and hope up at the stars Why me? Is karma worthless? When I feel harm do I deserve it? Is it because I have no purpose? Is there a way life can be perfect? Is it the luck of the draw, destiny given by father and ma As I falter and fall I wonder whether should I even bother at all The luster is drifting away, My palette needs color when living is gray I'm desperate for a respite or chance cannot be the middle bit of my name (My name) Dylan Chance Dwyer, the only thing defining me when life expires Brother I desire more (Hook) There will come times where we follow roads Find the right signs to our hollowed souls And we'll find(And we'll find) That we'll fall (That we'll fall) And in time (and in time) we'll find what we're meant to do (who we are) The highroad never seems to end But, brother tells me that it's fine to fail, lesson learned but only time will tell (Verse 2) I find my self, needing premonition to define myself reading definitions every time that tells me how to be how to seek a path to find a bell That rings that chimes, so everythings coming together to spread my wings, until I run out of feathers to sing a song, to bring what's lost to the table so I'm able to fabricate a fable's cost but the price is high in my eyes I feel like I'm in a ditch I try to climb and grind this line which doesn't like to give me zip Sure I'd like to be rich, boy that'd be fortunate But life is a bitch and I won't split from what I said on Origins That's just an estimate of how I see dilemna But I'll make the best of it making music in this rain with a steel umbrella So it's time that I smell the coffee, step into the track when my soul is off beat Be the top dawg that can sell the hot beats, I'm the only person that is able to stop me So when I dread during these dire nights I sit down and watch all the pyreflies (pyreflies) (Hook) There will come times where we follow roads Find the right signs to our hollowed souls And we'll find(And we'll find) That we'll fall (That we'll fall) And in time (and in time) we'll find what we're meant to do (who we are) The highroad never seems to end But, brother tells me that it's fine to fail, lesson learned but only time will tell

How We Roll 03:34
(Verse 1) Suns coming down but I'm wide awake Nearly night time but it's fine to skate In the moonlight vibing crusin slow but That's just how we roll Longboarding up and down carving hills Gone with the wind don't give a damn, still I'm not wanting this road to end cuz That's just how we roll Pair a headphones and I'm set to go Puff a cigarette with a chest of smoke Things are getting better with no plans in mind but That's just how we roll Fueled up on the high of life Future's looking kinda bright Stuck in the moment but I think it's aight to roll roll along until I see the break of light (Bridge) All I really want is just to rollx3 Longboard ready time to go, uh All I really want is just to rollx2 Maybe you don't understand but That's just how we roll (Verse 2) Cracked are the roads I breeze through derry to keep the ride smooth I need new bearings but the money adds up too much so That's just how we roll Wheels and the trucks need tighten up See a long hill as I size it up I wonder if I hit it will it be my last but That's just how we roll Rolling along someday I might learn Life can be tougher to pull than these tight turns But I wanna just go with the flow cuz That's just we roll Coming to terms with the fact that I pump to the metal but I lack the drive to bring my pace down to a stop cuz (Bridge) All I really want is just to rollx3 Longboard ready time to go All I really want is just to rollx2 And you know why, cuz That's just how we roll (Outro hook) How we roll That's how we roll That's how we roll... That's just we roll How we roll... that's just we roll how we roll That's how we roll That's how we roll... That's just we roll How we roll
