OBSERVATION #1
While I was writing this album, I was thinking about this James Baldwin quote
Where he basically says that people always tell him that progress takes time
And that, that's cute, but it's taken his father's time and his mother's time
And his brothers, and sisters time, and his time, and
I, uh
I think I'm one of those people
Who's watching the idea of progress eat my life away
And, and not to be dramatic, uh, just, uh
I think that there are things that I care about, um
And there are things that I, uh
Things that I - up and things that I take ridicule for, and I, uh
I think I have to be strong because the ideas that I represent at Brave New World
But what if the world isn't that brave or that new? Um
Where is the safe place for someone like me?
