Tried to keep the grief off me but I let it in Pushin thru the pain, my pocket thick but my time is thin I be tryna slow life down blowing smoke in the wind I be tryna stay out the mix, still lost in the blend Lord knows he know my heart so I sleep with a grin In my prayers the only safe place to speak secrets again Taking all our talks to the grave, too real for a post Energy never really dies, ain't no adios Beats like this make me reminisce the most These songs be the spells help me summon up your ghost Yeah I call on music on the days I can't cope It's my longest relationship beside rolling up this dope, aye Still going 24 8 in the memory of Kobe Man I'm way to young to be feeling so damn old And it's RIP DRO, man I put that on my soul D-I-N-O till the day I gotta go, aye Northend Gnarly D-I-N-O Until the day I go, aye Still making days count cause never really know God bless my angels, pulling strings on the low I said God bless my angel that's pulling strings on the low.

And if you not down for the trip then what you ride for And it's really not how you live, it's what you'd die for And I ain't slowing up for shit We coming for your throat Niggas wanna benefit off diligence they didn't show Tryna show they thorough but we really know it's all for show Really wanna see the shine, That's when they true colors show Lord keep me different, I don't wanna be like them forsho Know I got a light the devil tryna dim, I know fasho Have felt the weather over here on this side Summer time winds get blown away Sometimes it's way too hot on this side Said sunshine sunshine shine go away

Ima call you out to can call you in Let's keep it even on both ends, aye Ima call you out to can call you in I know that the odds stacked against us Let's keep it even on both ends Through the shifts and curves and the bends Even when I'm lost Ima lift up my friends Stay down for the town, we ascend up Know a stride for me, a stride for them It's not on us it's in us Bet bro my bottom dollar it's the bounce-back that matters most My backbone don't bend, stand ten toes Not falling victim to my lows, growing and it shows I'll play the spook by the door till I go ghost Ima work my way in, plant the seed then explode These words might spark the brain, get the story told Barely scratch the surface, dig deeper, you gon find some gold Low and behold you gon see legend unfold, aye I done seen some moves made me question who I trust If you can't keep it solid stay away from us Don't let yourself down while you coming up Ima make you step it up if you fucking up Ima call you out to can call you in I know that the odds stacked against us Let's keep it even on both ends Through the shifts and curves and the bends Even when I'm lost Ima lift up my friends Stay down for the town, we ascend up Know a stride for me, a stride for them It's not on us it's in us Aye Aye I come with many gifts Don't be my nemesis It could all be so simple yeah Miss Lauren Hill taught us this If that's the hill you tryna die on, here's your crucfix I'm more concerned with stacking chips, not selling soul for clicks I said it could all be so simple But they not listening, aye If it's up for me then it's up for us yeah Aye keep it through, keep it honest that's a plus yeah Ima tell you something as a friend Stop doing shit you said you'd never do again Ima call you out to can call you in I know that the odds stacked against us Let's keep it even on both ends Through the shifts and curves and the bends Even when I'm lost Ima lift up my friends Stay down for the town, we ascend up Know a stride for me, a stride for them It's not on us it's in us

about

Greetings From Northend Gnarly,

Reporting live from the heart of San Bernardino, California, I am surrounded by familiar sights and sounds, I can't help but pen down the essence of my experiences that have defined my journey. Cruising through "Dino USA", forever capturing the raw energy of every street corner's story. Reflecting on the moments that shaped us, celebrating the triumphs & navigating the challenges. The balance of being "Blessed With, Stressed With" echoes our prayers being answered while facing the hardships of our homestead. A constant reminder that there's always "More To Do," because the possibilities for growth are ever-evolving & waiting to be seized.

For the ones that I love the most, remember "I Don't Play Bout You"! , forever emphasizing the loyalty and devotion in the bonds between us. And in the quiet moments we conjure the memories of those no longer with us, "Dro's Interlude," beats with a solace of gratitude for the angels pulling strings in our favor. Strengthening our faith as we shape our own narrative in this life, "Taking Back Control" in the ebb and flow reaching for our higher purpose.

We know hard days gone come, and accepting "That's Life," mirrors the unwavering spirit of the Inland Empire. The "Weather on this side" may change, but our connection to our community remains constant. Manifesting through it all, I wrote it down until “It Happened" – the dreams, the aspirations, all etched in the sound waves of our shared ambitions. In the unique vastness of our neighborhoods, there's always "Space & Opportunity" to explore & expand toward a more positive outlook. And as we "Call In, Call Out" to each other, our strides intertwine into the rich tapestry of the section as a whole.

May the melodies, beats & words of this soundtrack resonate through the streets we call home.

Forever yours,
Cam Gnarly.
