False courage fires first Like a coward or a cop from The twin cities, New York and Florida Pussies pull triggers When they up against something bigger Ban the rifles From the psychos Fix the fuckin law Cuz there’s way too many typos Way too many kids keep Dyin by the second So hypocrites stop Cryin over an abortion The same babies born That you claim you saved Can’t afford health care And you don’t want us on welfare So really what you want is somebody to blame Can’t admit when you’re wrong How’s that make you brave? Learn a better fucking skill Fuck ya firing range Killing animals for pleasure Rockin minks & leather It’s a damn contradiction To keep claiming you a victim Need to learn to fight And then learn how to pick em Hook My problem nowadays Is everybody feels entitled Ego’s a motherfucker Don’t let him raise your child From one bastard to another That shit’ll make you humble You might not get a trophy But you could buy your disciples Yes sir – I’m stirring the pot But I get mad props Out here cookin the crops Hitting sore spots prompt Putting pressure - I’m hot Circle out truths from the goofs Getting rid of these knots Misogynistic mentality Don’t make you a man Prolly talk all that shit Cuz you know that you can’t Compare yourself to a lady But some of you bitches Need to stop acting like hoes Then later say you victims Fuck the fake heroes Always tellin the world It’s like you only function After pressin record Re-do… re-do… We need another re-do Now I don't give a fuck Hashtag Me too Hook

Instead... 03:58
If this beat was gone, could you still hear it? Instead of talkin shit, Would you listen to my lyrics? Cuz if it’s cool with you I’ll be real for a minute And instead of an applause I’m okay just getting crickets Instead of playin rich cuz I’m so self-conscious I accept the fact I’ve been broke since college Lost on the road to riches far as my career Need to give me more praise Instead pressure from my peers Instead of fitting in I’ll just see where I fit If they stick through bullshit Then my friends are legit Instead of blame shiftin My problems to others I’ll take responsibility For my own damn problems Instead of getting angry Saying something I regret Close my eyes for a sec While I take a deep breath - Instead of waiting to respond I’ll shut up and listen I’m tryna do the math instead of the division See you as a man Instead of as a Christian Or a Muslim, a Jew? To me it makes no difference Instead of teaching my kids What makes us different They go to church of Ziggy Love is my religion And all of us are created equal As God had intended Could you try to see my point? Instead of tryin to be offended – damn… Instead of being color blind I see the world for what it is - shit Got me feeling hopeless So there’s no gray when it’s all black n white Instead of being silent I’m a speak for those oppressed I hope my friends know this Instead of being opposed Fact’s I got privilege On my face and it shows Another injustice And another brother’s dead I’ll protest for peace Not bring violence instead I picked up the pen Instead of loading the gun Tip my hat to police Instead of trying to run Love me for where I’m at Instead of just who I become Live this gift called the present Instead of a past I was from I’m not a victim But if you walked my journey You’d understand why I do this Instead I chose music Should this be my story, Then it isn’t for me But instead people in a Parallel purgatory So those in my shoes - let my message be read Whatever hell you’re going through Makes you stronger instead For anybody who’s been Bullied, beaten, n battered In the game of life Go out, follow big dreams Instead of tryin to take a life Cuz hatred in your heart Is cancer that spreads And makes you suffer most When it comes to the end Instead of actin like a tough guy I’m not ashamed to cry Or admit when I’m wrong Long as we can be friends Instead if we were honest Didn’t judge each other’s feelings Would the pain be the same? Would there be as many killings? I’m prayin to the ceiling Cuz honestly - it sickens me Any time someone’s son or daughter dies Instead of whippin out the phone To capture the shot I’m a dial 9-1-1 Action hero, The Rock Instead of talking shit To make myself feel better I’ll grow every damn day Instead of blaming the weather​ Shoulda, coulda woulda I’m a say ‘I did’ instead So when the track plays back I’ll do so with no regrets Instead of tryin a filter Instead of tryin to diss her Give that girl props Because she loves the real her Without claiming she’s a hero No need to explain it Pictures are worth a thousand words Depending how you frame it Fuck the Instagram you I like the real you instead Fuck a comment or a like I’d rather talk out like Ted Instead of just postin Instead of just ghostin I’ll tell you straight up That’s why I feel so alone then It’s been a minute he said Bout to hit my brother up And I don’t wanna front So Ima call him up instead

about

Originally released August 30th. After parting ways with previous studio teams, mikeY budd branched out as an indie artist to release his first full album. Recording sessions for the album took place during the 2018 summer at Mikey's Tree House Studio in Los Angeles. The album's name comes from budd's background support for the cannabis community and his role as a yoga teacher (i.e. ganja and mantras). Insecurities stems from the world of technology we live in. The album artwork is designed to incorporate the insecure "selfie face" filled with mandalas. The subtle lotus/cannabis flower design around the face is surrounded with mantras of "overcoming the insecure".
