Charlotte's Web

04/15/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Charlotte’s Web” is my 75th official release and my 110th track published. This track is inspired by and about Emma Watson while taking themes from the book “Charlotte’s Web.” This was intentionally released on Emma’s birthday as a present; Happy Birthday Emma! The beat is by Ken Yama, it was produced by Sam Peters at La Luna in Kalamazoo Michigan, and the cover art was made by ArtworkGang from Fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

This song has been a long time in the making. I wrote this back in 2017. It was part of the chalice mixtape whose concept is I meet Taylor swift, do business with Marcus Lemonis, and end up with Emma Watson. I remade the beat in 2023, changed a couple lyrics to update the perspective, and set it for release on Emma’s birthday. This song was created at La Luna and I have a short video from when I was in the studio making the final touches to “Charlotte’s Web” and other songs linked. 

Emma is my queen and the reason I do my music. Charlotte is Emma’s middle name. I use her middle name for a few reasons. One of them is I think its sexy. But another is I don’t want Emma thinking I’m just after her for the fame. I want her to know I want her, and not the attention, so I’ve kept with it. I also think it’s mysterious with an attractive allure. It started with me using her middle name for the Chalice mixtape and this song and I have kept with it. The whole point in doing all this is to show Emma I love her and create enough economic stability to find her and try to have a relationship, even if we just remain friends. 

I chose Emma as my queen and main focal point because over the last two decades I have gotten the most cosmic luve coincidence from her. I have a theory that the earth is conscious due to it’s magnetism which I discuss in my book “108 The Story of discovering Earth’s consciousness.” On the CosmicLuve.com log on my blog at EricLeo108.com I talk about how Gaia (the planet Earth) could be telepathically influencing mating patterns of animals by highlighting cognition. In this way, Emma is my most frequent and consistent cosmic luve that I get semantic coincidence from. The cosmic luve log attempts to catlog these coincidences and describe the communication I’m experiencing as best as possible. 

I won’t lie, I get other cosmic luve coincidences from other luves like Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld. Over the last five years I’ve gotten consistent coincidences from Hailee Steinfeld but Emma has remained the main focal point. This has less to do with my love for Emma and Hailee and more to do with Hip-hop.

Hiphop talks all about bitches and hoes and basically exploiting women for their body. I wanted to flip that on its head and talk about being dedicated to one woman. I wanted to choose one girl and make music about being dedicated to her.  Because of cosmic coincidences Emma came out on top. I have about ten songs now that mention Emma by name, which is often her middle name, like this track.

With all that said, Happy Birthday Emma. I hope I could make you feel special on your birthday. I love you. Take care of yourself. And I hope to meet soon.

Lyrics:

What's the word, Templeton

You know I kick it old-school 

Big and Pac my soul food 

In my right hand, you my go-too

I know you’re out here, and there’s things you gotta go though  

This a bold move

I can’t get you outta my mind 

Yeah, I think about this girl all the time 

Yea, Love is patient, love is kind, I do it right

Yeah uh

Hey there Charlotte

Wilbur callin

How bout you spin a web of love and then fall in 

My semi-sonic secrete smile 

The circle, The Green Mile

I walk the line, defy’em 

Baby we could get wild 

Got all these trials and tribulations 

I’ll be damned if I don’t face um 

Got the facts, I ain’t debate’n them 

They distract, I debase ‘em 

I love it when you lie, like you wanna do me right, 

And then you don’t even give me a second of your time 

You know me, that real O G 

Drive’n home like in a movie

One headlight, film like fuji 

Flash’n the bling ring, Damn girl you keep it Gucci

This the golden snitch, you the seeker, now go see 

Who got that soul, that flow and shinin

Hungry for love, cuz This is what it like if 

A stranger decided, to change up your diet, 

Set-up on you, blinded, and feed you a side dish 

You know I kick it old-school 

Big and Pac my soul food 

In my right hand, you my go-too

I know you’re out here, and there’s things you gotta go through

This a bold move

Don’t wanna do you wrong 

How you like the thoughts 

Of the meaning of this song, 

Cuz It applies, I put you on

What if you liked it,

Track me down and got excited

Told me what I deserve 

And baby let it burn 

This party jump’n like it used too

If we break up imma use you

Become friends, have sex 

Leave you, send a text

Like I’m finished, I’m kidding 

I’m living in regret

You’re the best I’ll ever get 

I’m getting back with my ex 

Cuz I can’t get her outta my mind, yeah 

I think about the girl all the time, yeah

I can’t get her outta my mind, yeah 

I think about the girl all the time, yeah

Time to invest

What she desires, my interest  

J. Cole dreams getin wet 

Is how I think of her in my head

She a spider, I’mma pig 

She the reason for this gift 

Make this what it is

Baby listen, let me live 

Watch the stress work 

My queen under pressure 

If they’re mean my old lady 

I’ll break the ice, ice baby 

If not me then who

If not now then when

Either way you won

You’ll learn you gotta friend

You know I kick it old-school 

Big and Pac my soul food 

In my right hand, you my go-too

I know you’re out here, and there’s things you gotta go through

This a bold move

I can’t get you outta my mind 

Yeah, I think about the girl all the time 

Yea, Love is patient, love is kind, I do it right

Yeah 

Yeah

Charlotte 

Thanks for listening

03/29/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Were Wolf” is my 73rd official release and my 108th track published. This track explores my feelings about my schizophrenia, marijuana use, and cosmic luve coincidences. The beat is by Feniko Beatz, it was produced by David James of Forest Hills Audio in Grand Rapids Michigan, and the cover art is from Canva. 

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

Lyrics:

I feel like a werewolf howling at the moon Like I’m getting misinformation coming from the news Like I'm getting semantic messages hidden in the tunes Like the stars and the moon are transforming my mood Let me take you on a trip Back in history a bit Back when I was 26 And I was diagnosed with schizophrenia   And then I wasn’t me again I thought I’zz being stalked and I couldn’t be a friend Lost years of progress, on bars and projects Clouded thoughts and process, couldn’t focus or profit I lost ten years to mental illness So when you listen to me you hear my experience with it Distorted dissociation assorted in my vision They tell me I’m sick with it and extraordinarily gifted Cuz I blog the decision, write nonfiction And then put it in a song for the audience to listen It’s been quite the journey, and still being written Strive to be a better person, and heal the division Been to plenty of psych wards, not tryna visit again But when I do it I tell’em I’m a good ol’ boy from Michigan That feels like a werewolf howling at the moon Like I’m getting misinformation coming from the news Like I'm getting semantic messages hidden in the tunes Like the stars and the moon are transforming my mood I feel like a werewolf howling at the moon Like I’m getting misinformation coming from the news Like I'm getting semantic messages hidden in the tunes Like the stars and the moon are transforming my mood I’m thinkin I need to smoke more weed to cope Worried bout topsoil, from seed to dope The more I get high, the more my tolerance rises Til I can’t get high off indica, sativa, or hybrid Some days I feel like a werewolf, hollering at the moon Wonder’n where I belong, and what I assume Wonder’n how my mind could be put to better use Wonder’n how my life could mean more to you I swear the Earth has been talking to me She’s worried about the family evolutionary tree How bad is global warming gonna be  Watch the science unfold it’s predicted the greed It feels like the Earth is randonauting Like the environment is real, understanding and plotting Telepathically transmitting highlighted topics Whispered semantics telling me to gossip How I feel like a werewolf howling at the moon Like I’m getting misinformation coming from the news Like I'm getting semantic messages hidden in the tunes Like the stars and the moon are transforming my mood I feel like a werewolf howling at the moon Like I’m getting misinformation coming from the news Like I'm getting semantic messages hidden in the tunes Like the stars and the moon are transforming my mood

Your Sun

03/19/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Your Sun” is my 72nd official release and my 107th track published. This is my first spoken word track as Eric Leo 108. There is no beat and the audio was organized by Sam Peters at La Luna Recordings and Sound in Kalamazoo Michigan. The cover art is a self-taken photo and self-edited cover.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

As explained by the National Weather Service, “There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes. The word equinox is derived from two Latin words - aequus (equal) and nox (night).” The spring equinox signifies that after this there will be more daylight than night throughout the day in the Northern Hemisphere. 

I intentionally released this spoken word poem on the day of the spring equinox because it’s a poem to humanity as if it was coming from the sun. And nothing signifies that better than the overtaking of light from the sun on the northern hemixphere that is the spring equinox. 

I originally created this poem to express myself in the CosmicLuve.com log, specifically the September 2022 - Hope post. As you can read, the poem has nothing to do with her but it was largely inspired by Emma Watson. 

To briefly make you fully updated. I have a book called “108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness” about why and how I think the planet and stars are conscious. Then In the blog (at EricLeo108.com) I show how Gaia (the Earth) could play match maker to guide evolution using telepathy. Basically, attractive, potential mates are used as vessels to paint the canvas of a broader message from Gaia. I explain all this at CosmicLuve.com which is a running log on my blog at EricLeo108.com. This is a poem from the Suns perspective given this information. I chose to release this on the 19th because that’s the day of the spring equinox. 

The actual spring equinox is on the 19th but Christianity celebrates it on the 31st because its the first full moon after the spring equinox. Just like Christmas which is based on the pagan celebration of the winter solstice, Easter comes from a pagan tradition around the spring equinox. Easter is derived from the German Eostre or Ostara which is the goddess of spring. In the most popular story Ostara found a dying bird in the snow. To save it, she turn it into a white hare which she gave the power to lay eggs once a year and gift them to worshipers. And that’s why there are bunnies and eggs on Easter. You can read a fuller story here. It has nothing to do with Jesus rising from the dead and everything to do with celetial patterns and Christian’s culturally appropriating pagan traditions. I have left a video that explains more.

All these christian events and celestial dates line up because Jesus is based off the myth of the sun, which I find worth worshiping. I think Jesus is Western Civilization’s imaginary friend that they made up to make themselve feel better and control the masses, but the sun, which the imaginary friend is based on, is very real and worth worshiping. To be clear, again, I think the sun is conscious and would be the ultimate ruler in our local cosmic domain. 

With that said, I am actually terrified of the sun. Most aging, like wrinkles and lines, come from sun exposure. The only reason the Earth is livable is because we have an atmosphere that protects us from the suns rays from burning us alive, and they still cause cancer.  Have you ever heard of a choronial mass ejection and what it would do to life as we know it? It would basically be like setting of a global EMP (electro magnetic pulse) that would whip out satellites and electronics. The world almost came to an end in 2012 which is also when the Mayan calendar ended. This is because in July of 2012 there was a coronial mass ejection that almost hit Earth that you can read about from NASA, Business Insider, or Wikipeida. 

I have taken a twitter poll asking “Would you straight-up worship the sun” and all voted “no, that’s stupid.” But in a very real way Christians worship the sun because they worship Jesus which is based off the myth of the sun, they just don’t know it. In this way I’m glad we have people worshiping the sun, I just wish it wasn’t through Jesus. I think we should organize a cohort to worship the sun (and turn towards it) like Mecca and occasionally I do. 

Given all this, trust me when I say, I hope I did the sun justice in this poem.

Lyrics:

I am you

I made you

When they say “you’re bright,” “you’re glowing”, or “you’re radiant” 

You can best be assured you got that from me

And I tell you this because

I love you like the stars love rain

Like the earths vibration through you

I feel and share myself

Like the elements of my dead body combine to be the coalescence of life

Then gave birth to the very carbon lifeforms that can understand what I am

How I love you

I cradled you in my bussum

I watched you as you took your first steps

How your curiosity as child made you a conquerer in your adolecense

And although you may deny it, you still feel the pain of war

The gnawing agony for more

And as the lover you take, do you not ask Are you satisfied my dear?

Or even ask? Satisfied from what?

Do you not understand that

Like penguins bond over pebbles

Or finches sing and dance

I love you like the stars love rain 

Like from the bacteria in the gut

The colony you Excrete aromatically

I would take you then

Like the forest and fonna The earth blackend by your burn

I would take you then

Like the mineral salt in the ocean

Was acidified by your hand

I would take you then

Like you were the diseased

I was helpless by your side

And all I could do is weep

Like rain, even still

I would take you then

I am better because I got to hold you

I nurtured you from nothing

And as a faithful dog greets you when you get home everyday

I will always be there for you

In good times and bad

In sickness and health

I love you like the stars love rain

You made this worth it

Your sun

The Industry

03/01/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “The Industry” is my 71st official release and my 106th track published. This is my biggest and most elaborate release so far. It has more features than tracks. This has been a long time in the making. I had some trouble getting the features through my distributor but distrokid came through for me. The beats and major feature production comes from Anno Domini. The entire project was mixed and mastered by Keyano and the cover art is by Gigzlogo from Fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

This album is called “The Industry” because it features many artists, big and small, from the music industry while also being about “The industry” as in the economy. I did the best I could with the limited resources I have. I would like to thank Anno Domini for this opportunity and for make this a dream come true and Thank you to all the featured artist.

90% of the CO2 in the atmosphere over the last 10 years came from 3 products, gas, oil and coal. This is who I’m referring to when I say “Big Carbon.” I was gonna just say “big oil” but it’s more than just big oil and saying “carbon” is really focusing on the problem.

The album approaches sociological problems and by the middle I bring in my personal perspective. I firmly believe we have a lot of the problems we do because religion which distorts zealots worldveiw. Thinking being gay is wrong, the earth is only 6 thousand years old, or the rapture is gonna happen really affects how people perceive and affect the world, and since we live in a democracy, political and societal outcomes as well. I believe inaccuracy in thinking comes from the distorted worldview of religion, and in America that means chirstianity. This means it’s fundamental to attack followers reality at it’s core because it is the basis in which they project their actions. I just hope Kurupt isn’t a devote christian or he might be upset. 

I do not condone violence peroid, let alone against congress members, although I think they basically deserve it. With that said, I tried showing Mitch McConnell as little respect as possible. You know, I’m human too and between his policies, greed, and lust for power representing an abhorrent party that he has enabled to regress the nation, it’s not hard to hate him, and as an artist I’m just tapping into that very real sentiment. People will cheer when he dies like they will Dick Cheney or how they did Harry Kissenger. The world would be a better place if you off’d yourself Mitch. Not because your death would solve our problems, but because your influence on power needs to end. Honestly, I don’t like Mitt Romney, but I took a different approach and said people should be like him because he’s actually retiring. Listen, I know the replacements might be worse, but they could also be way better. I would be satisfied with a maximum age requirement if we couldn’t get term limits. 

This release was going to be 12 tracks long, not 10. I had the hardest time getting this published. I went through CDbaby and it got rejected. I published it without the KRS-One or Gucci Mane feature track. After much deliberation, I have since went through distrokid to publish the “Heavy Hitters” EP which has the Krs, Gucci, and a snoop dogg feature that was supposed to be on the “Westside Connection” album but got rejected by CDbaby as well.

America In Decline

Ayo

To all my young brothers that hustle and flip

Get your money be humble

Killer bees everywhere yo we call it the Jungle

Some real nice Cheba

The government control that medical refund

Tattoo on my stomach that's the symbol of death

Yo I'm coming

You only got a little bit of time left

Back out the hood

I be the reclaimer

I punch deceivers in the face and roll on the flame

Hooky player

Survival of your forcedness

The board of education and all of that court shit

I'm from the street first then I went corporate

I'm out in Cali somewhere eating crawfish

I'ma pescatarian my ex-girl whorish

The angel of rap and country like a tourist

Even the terrorists

Know I got the rawness

The whole world ain't nothing but a fake Egypt

With these Devils acting like they tryna lead it (ayo)

I'm bout to leave here on a ship

Niggas turn zombie's they receiving the chip

I'm out here

With my mind on flip

I'm in the zone

Got the garlic in my system

My whole team drop knowledge and wisdom

We drop knowledge and wisdom

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

While you struggle to cop it

And made a deposit

Corporations make record profits

Billionaires are leaving on rockets 

And you are left to pay costs kids

Vampires should suck dick

Seamen has more life than blood

They looking at me like

I know what it was

When they changed the rules

Made America loose

By listening to fools

And never replacing them with new

Blood, new faces

America disgraced with

Wretches that won’t have to face

The destruction that all their laws have made 

From restructuring to give money to the paid

They’ll be dead and gone

But America will fall

Cuz what they did is wrong

And a selfish con

Guess the Process 

Is to stifle all the progress

Feather they’re own nest

And reap all the profits

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

Most of the world living on child support

Instead of talkin’ shit out

They’d rather take it to court

I used to think I was rich man

I realized I’m poor

That’s why I take an opportunity

When it knocks on the door

I drop bombs with psalms

To feed my mind so I’m calm

If you don’t see it or believe it

Let me sound the alarm

And I ain’t running from the problem 

Imma face it head on

I used think I was a man

Now I see I was wrong

It was all designed with a higher power in mind

They got money to start wars

Is feeding the poor a crime?

What if we all fortify?

Stand together unified

We could stop all the lies

I promise they’d be petrified 

America in decline

We can’t afford the disease

A hundred people have to die so that one lives with ease

America in decline

We can’t afford the disease

A hundred people have to die so that one lives with ease

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy

Big Carbon

(Kook G Rap Lyrics Unknown)

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

You wanna invest

In income-producing assets

That make you money

That’s steady and passive

You won’t survive long unless you stretch

I still hope for the best but expect regret

I’m talking to the cats that I never met

I wish you peace my friend a bed to rest

Don’t ever let um convince you

Your needs shouldn’t be met

Everything is free

You just need materials and labor

Corporate endorsements

Are when the police protect property

Over the environment

That they pollute silently

So I dissent and live defiantly

While Carbon heating the entirety 

Global criminal conduct is how science sees it

The pollution, kills millions a year

While they lobby and interfere

With policy to limit there’s

While they should really be in jail

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Now they pretend to be spiritual individuals 

Testing us like a physical

Kill us with chemicals 

Confiscate our residuals

Poisonous minerals

Force fed by the cynical

Think they school’um

But disregard the principles

Actin invincible

And aint talk’n mic in the mechanics

But all we need is a miracle

But they don’t like it when we’re lyrical

The devil’s being disguised

But we’re conscious they’re identical

But still got the keys to the solution

Cuz that big carbon pollution 

Got’um contradicting their constitution 

And then COVID cost so much confusion 

Then they blinded up with stimulus checks 

And called it a contribution?

Just be mindful of your investments

Success ain’t meant to be comfortable

Remain restless

And stay attended to your checklist 

Don’t let’um slow you down

Keep use of motion until you’re breathless

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Ain’t got to be handicap man make a wish

What you want Laker tick’s? Ski slopes, major trips?

Razor to ya neck disrespect I’ll lay ‘em stiff.

Round table round off sound off damn let the pound off!

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

Like Covid from the lab

Spreading across the map

Killing all your moms and dads

Leavein homeless children sad

Lethal like a chemical spill

Of dioxins that kill

Agent Orange, where’s the source

That left your newly born deformed?

The payment for the rent is tall

While families aren’t at all involved

Take oxycontin when hurt and fall

And end up addicted to Fentynyl

War in the middle-east, Russia and Ukrain

Give us an excuse to sell them weapons and then bang

No healthcare from the burn pits

That cause asthma and the serpent 

Lies bout what the purpose is

How they thank you for your service kid

When you Paywall healthcare Inequality kills 

But corporations are fulfilled for denying the bill 

While they pray in the steeple, 

We put money over people

I bet you heard, protect and serve

But they use their guns instead of words

Safety is a fallacy, with rampant police brutality

They show up at the rally scene

Turn to violence and battery

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

Bomb First

Three and a half years if they catch you with a gat

All that mean now is that niggas is shootin’ back

War is something I got the taste for 

Out on bail bigger gun than the one I got the case for

Never can tell what I might do I ain’t nothing like you

I put my Dutch out on your night boots

Pull my nuts out on yo wife in the mic booth

Then situate with her at the end of the night too

Those were the happy days these the real years

Niggas is brain dead in shit bags and wheelchairs

For the record I don’t give a fuck who ya team is 

And you don’t want it with me ‘cause I’m an extremist (Ugh)

Get back, take that, this rap, we blast

What’s a rat to a cat, or a bomb to a gat 

An opinion to facts, guessing compared to the math?

This a stick-up, bitch what, give me what you have

Like Pac, we bomb first 

We act, while you ponder

We adapt, you dishonor 

What you have and leave squandered 

I learned to be gangster from congress

Support the enterprise for profit

Lobby money with stock tips  

Like the drug money you pocket

The real terrorists are republicans

The gun-toting Smith-n-west’n grins

That come from killing the innocent

And claiming they deserved the shit

You small time, just tryna to survive

But if you get caught you’ll do more time

For selling drugs than a rapist

Makes sense if it’s a racist

System with most of the cases 

We make criminals of patients 

Yea Marijuana still illegal, although it’s medicine for people 

A textile, a food, with no overdose, but claim that it’s lethal

Are you a broke citizen down on your luck

Well find a way to get your money up cuz we don’t give a fuck

Get back, take that, this rap, we blast

What’s a rat to a cat, or a bomb to a gat 

An opinion to facts, guessing compared to the math?

This a stick-up, bitch what, give me what you have

Like Pac, we bomb first 

We act, while you ponder

We adapt, you dishonor 

What you have and leave squandered 

I learned to be gangster from congress

Support the enterprise for profit

Lobby money with stock tips  

Like the drug money you pocket

Why we try to fake like we don't know our system is wrong?

Its the land of the free? 

It's independently owned

I could try to

hold up, let me break it down in a song

I could try to, hold up

If you smart about your taxes

you might not even pay

And it's legal in your business

You can buy them away

Or you donate it to "Charity”

This is not advice

And we just talking

This is therapy

More and more

I feeling like we living in a parody

Only say I worry we ain't aware of the

Effect that we gone have

And Imma say this with sincerity

Every generation getting harder even barely

And even when I think of having kids it start scare me

Get back, take that, this rap, we blast

What’s a rat to a cat, or a bomb to a gat 

An opinion to facts, guessing compared to the math?

This a stick-up, bitch what, give me what you have

Like Pac, we bomb first 

We act, while you ponder

We adapt, you dishonor

Capitalism

Get the elderly out of Congress

How much have the fucks

Already cost us?

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

They enacted their vision

But it corrupted the mission

And Boomers left a society of despotism

You know I mean?

Can you feel me?    

Let me rip a minute 

On these insipid decisions

And intended intention

Of the economic agenda

Trickle down economics

You gotta be fucking kidding me

Kill yourself

If you think it’s answer economically

Capitalists make money off disasters

They got the shock doctrine mastered

And make global warming happen

They’ll buy with no logos

Sell it with girls that are Gogo

Say the love is all Eros 

And it’s meant for the pharoes

Cuz it makes fat cash destroying things

Just look at Oprah and Hawaii

Just set up a charity to funnel your money

And get it back in taxes, singing and humming

How it’s so terrible, my property value rose

From a disaster that left the island tattered

Disaster capitalism is on the rise

And makes society more stratified

Your misfortune is by design

Because they like you desptotic when they buy

Global warming is old, all they are is frontin

They make new ways take and plunder

We knew about carbon pollution in the late 1800 hundreds 

And big oil is still trying to convince us it’s nothing

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

You know I’m saying?

These fucks man

So glad Mitch McConnell died

Cuz he’s an awful senator

You know they could retire

But they cling to power

That’s why we hate him

It’s selfish and pervasive

In the Senate chambers

To stay and embrace it

Look, You’re not gracious

For bogarting a replacement

That’s more tenacious 

And doesn’t wanna enslave us

It’s not advantageous

To have geriatrics takes and

Are also patients

It affects whole nation

Won’t let you fly an airline past sixty-five

But if you wanna run a country

You can do it till you die

We got all these politicians holden on to power

When they should be Mitt, take a hint, and retire

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war

You literally got them coal

You make me do this

Rich G

You know that right?   

Try and change the system from within and it changes you

So I'm stacking change what else you expect Rich to do

Corporate lobbying has the ear plus pockets of politicians

Follow the money to make sense of their decisions

Corrupt officials ain't just a third world issue

Defense contractors enriched each time we shoot a missile

Consumer society created planned obsolescence

Pushing insecurities through ads on adolescents 

Valentines days invented by hallmark cupids a profiteer

This a letter in a card to say its fucked up dear

I'm sincere we need an overhaul of the government 

Conglomerates have it their way and we loving it

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

Get the elderly out of congress

There should be term limits 

If we want progress

Listen, if if you can be too young to run the country, 

you can be too old

And that’s all

____________________________________

A Lesson

This is just a fair warning

I love to get horny

And give a fuck, what your story

Not yet, you’re not sorry

Ever since the inner circle I’ve stepped in

I’ve been sharpening lyrical weapon

To slit your throat, make um joke

About how you been flex’n

Haven’t done a mixtape in years, ya know

My music’s all original

Put in work, and ya I’m finna blow

And get paid off the residual

I would love some MCEE

To have a problem with me

Say my name, and make it sting

While make’n a scene

I ain’t scared of you

I’m flattered dude

I ain’t gonna battle you

I’ll serve you in a dark padded booth

So don’t bring me negativity

Unless you want some energy

That aggressive and offensively

Exposes what you pretend to be

No one owns my mechanical

No one takes my publishing

I say what I want 

And make money from stunt’n see

I’m a grown adult with a baby face

You ain’t gonna take my place

You ain’t got the mental state

To keep up with my pace

I’m a vetran, could wreck them

But rather make’um my brethren

Give an ultimatum to uphold

As I expose the deception

Fuck what you think

You ain’t convincing me

Unless you have overwhelming evidence

This is how it’s gonna be

Bitch shut the fuck up, why you talkin that shit

You sound like a child, that’s throwing a fit

You never grew up, but blew up big

They’re what you consume cuz you still a kid

You get what you give 

And they ain’t into shit rap

This ain’t a diss track

It’s a lesson for your bitch ass

I could make amends

Yeah, I’m down to make friend

But that’s not the intent 

Of motivation you intend 

You didn’t jock me when I’zz underground

Said you were down with the sound

Now you wanna come around 

Like you was alway down 

Gi’me an excuse

To write about the truth

Rap it in the booth

And make this happen to you

I ain’t never had a rap beef

Don’t want one, but I’d happily

Show you that I have teeth

And run it like an Athlete

I’m sure its not your too big to respond

It’s the contract your on

It doesn’t allow freedom at all

To defend your own honor

What’s more important is the dollar

Its not from your squalor

And the rights that you squandered

Who wants your Dumbass comments anyways

We were happy that you went away

They want to run, be free today

From you and your stupid ways

You feel no shame

From the problems you create

But if you want to inundate

I figured you could get a taste

Fuck what you think

You ain’t convincing me

Unless you have overwhelming evidence

This is how it’s gonna be

Bitch shut the fuck up, why you talkin that shit

You sound like a child, that’s throwing a fit

You never grew up, but blew up big

They’re what you consume cuz you still a kid

You get what you give 

And they ain’t into your shit rap

This ain’t a diss track

It’s a lesson for your bitch ass

______________________________-

Honey

I want this shit banging in my headphones, you understand me

Let me hear that beat

You dig

I'ma address some shit

Let y'all niggas know the real

I've been dormant for too long

Hibernating

Everybody want it, but do you wanna get it

I'm sick of all these niggas bullshitting

I'm sick of all these bitches

I'm sick of how these bitch niggas tripping

And how y'all get these passes to these snitches

Neighborhood crippling

Dog pound gangsters in the building

I'ma treat these niggas like bitches

Show em to the wolves and the vultures

The hyenas and my siblings

So they can experience what they say they really living

Man, let me show you how deep it really gets

And then I'ma show you the power of membership

One on the hip, illegal extended clip

I'ma show you niggas the power of membership

The viking and the villain

Riddling, couldn't stop this adrenaline

Mind bending forensic technical chemist

One for the bro, walk up and explode

I'ma show you niggas the power of membership

Nigga, we everywhere

I’m everywhere rocking that cosmic debacle

108 the prophet, understand ergonomics

Of electric ultrasonic magnetic harmonic

Conscious balls of telepathic diagnostics (stupid)

That’s what my artistry’s about

While you run your mouth for clout 

Or tryna turn Um out

I like them questioning “how?”

I hope they listen to learn astronomy, sociology and doubt

How Jesus could be god and not just arrogantly pronounced

As the truth, when the use of religion is a arroused

By consolidating power and giving it to the house

Because it doesn’t make sense

You know space is immense

And it was all meant for us

Is what Jesus presents

The Bible is a fairly tale

Contradicts itself everywhere

It takes an ass like dairy air

To think it’s really fairly clear

I’m sorry, I should stop, but nothing is

And the subject of the song is dumb ass shit

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

But it really doesn’t matter cuz

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves

But really doesn’t exist

I don’t do it to be mean, even shine or make you cry

It’s really a function of the perspective I entice

To say thinking and intelligence is nice and is desired

Is like saying dick and pussy is best when combined

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

But it really doesn’t matter cuz

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves

But really doesn’t exist

But to put it susincly Which is good to provide

Your like a bug attracted to light

Cuz Bees don’t spend their time Explaining to flys 

Why honey is better than shit to survive

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

But it really doesn’t matter cuz

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves

But really doesn’t exist

The Cold

This me and Asia, they say I’m gifted

I like misdirection and to put it simplest

I don’t think for myself, so yes I’m Christian (often)

I run it like the church, inquisition

Whether winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

And we don’t play that gangsta shit

All my moves I make legitimate

In broad daylight I have the sense

Everything you have figured, isn’t

I suggest if you don’t wanna catch a case

Show some discretion, respect, and grace

I ain’t hard, but I ain’t a bitch either

You may try the takeover and then find that I’m the ether

Is the atmosphere to ethereal like gravity

Or since it’s clear do we not see it mattering?

I wouldn’t bring me back unless your eager

To figure out why they fear the karma I teach her

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

I Molotov mics in the night

With the energy to cause a street fight

Knuckle up baby, buckle up

It's dangerous on the ave

They flaming guns 

Slanging crumbs 

Hennessey and Jamison

The eyes of the jungle Blood shot

The disgruntled smirk of a crook

Posing for the pic, in his first mug shot

My seven and a half is working oh that's for certain

We in the lab cooking and jookin'

Until its closed curtains

I'm busting shots at the serpent for a purpose

The seven stars represent the seven churches

Watch what you worship

Don't miss the revelations

You'll be caught up like the listeners

Still caught up on my first shit

Assassin with the blade catch a niggas fade

It's a rapture on the stage when you capture these grenades

You'll be a fossil once

Once they really understand the gospel

El Chapo with chopped cheese and a taco

This me and Asia, they say I’m gifted

I like misdirection and to put it simplest

I don’t think for myself, so yes I’m Christian (often)

I run it like the church, inquisition

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

I suggest if you don’t wanna catch a case

Show some digression, respect, and grace

I ain’t hard, but I ain’t a bitch either

You may try the takeover and then find I’m the ether

What’s a mind to a god

Time to a thought

Price to some art

Or lies if you're smart?

What’s a mind to a god

Time to a thought

Price to some art

Or lies if you're smart?

Sooner or later I’m gonna figure you out

And all I’ve really found, is how cowards get down

How they bring um out bring um out bring um out bring um out

It’s hard to tell that you aren’t really a clown

I’m not tryna develop what you sell

I’m hear just to tell

You, you need to get help

I’m not tryna develop what you sell

I’m hear just to tell

You, you need to get help

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

You know what’s the difference between me and those puppets

About a hundred and fifty thousand dollar marketing budget

Having an audience is currency

That I don’t have currently

But I’ve invested in a catalog

And marketing um urgently

Need money to grow

And give um what they wanted

Need money for marketing

Just like any product

But I’m free, my own boss

Though I can barely pay the costs

By the time it’s right

To promote there’s nothing

What a great community America has

Put in work every day but never paid for that

Which you made to get the bag

Americas so great that it’s people can’t

Afford necessities cuz they don’t get paid a living wage

How is the national debt doing today

All the money went to corporate pay

While you can’t afford a place to stay

Having money for food

It must be nice

Having money for goods

It must be nice

America The great

Where the people get raped

Of their financial stake

of what the community creates

Always committed, every day I was wit it

Positive and different 

Like an ace word to tennis

They on the lean sippin

I live the dream envision

Thinking as they listen

From start to finish

If you want me on stage with

Raps for your entertainment

I need that bag, and the payment

From fans demanding my graces

Until then it’s about branding and landing these placements

Finding some way to get paid and get

The love so it make me continue with it

Not wanna quit, and give’um this gift

I do it for the love, the fun and the win 

Dabbin up a friend, bought what happened, what it is

This that classic flow with lyricism

Don’t kow tow, just listen

I’m here to help the mission

Unlock your inner vision

May not always agree

But I’m always for peace

Capeesh, I need you

To Keep it real with free speech

Lace’em up, lace’em up, lace em up, lace em

They’re all like, that was real right

It makes me feel like

A shooting star in the night

Glittering and glistening

On a path that righteous

Spread my name across the sky

Catch your eye, decide this

Music is a symphony

And it gets to me, and I write this

Hoping it goes gold

Like a touch from Midas

Don’t have to decipher

When I pop up in the Cypher

I’m a fighter that stifles

Don’t wanna make me your rival

Cuz I got stamina, and a brand that run

Edutainment for the audience

Since started up, I got the love

Harbored luck, and toughened up

It’s a cold, cold world even when it’s sunny

It’s about what you sold and only if it makes money

Most can’t make ends meet or afford to fill up their tummy 

The rich claim it’s hard work when they really got lucky

I bubble up and double up

Campfire Sunday update

Febuary 18th 2024 Sunday Update, posted ON TIME to tumblr.

This is Febuary’s 2nd release.

I am adding this post here because the prior sunday update is in the friday’s release post. But, if there is no Friday release, the sunday update doesn’t get posted unless I do it in a separate post.

This is a sunday Update video I put on YouTube every sunday. Follow on YouTube for more.

Campfire

02/14/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Campfire” is my 70th official release. I am in the Ryini group and Ryan made some beats with hooks that he sang on. The beat and hook were all done by Ryini. I recorded my own vocals and it was mixed by Undogmatic. The cover art is a picture from canva.

This was pretty basic. I wanted to produce something as easy and cheap as possible. This cost me $30. $10 for publishing, $20 for production, cover art was free, beat was part of membership. Boom, new Valentines day EP. Thanks for the timing Gaia.

I wanted to take these features and make a clean-cut EP that you could rap and sing around a camp fire with just a guitar. Like 90% of top hits are about love, which is just another reason, I wanted to make the EP about meeting a love interest. I created three songs that follow me meeting and having a relationship with my “campfire girl.” 

I wanted to see what it was like to use AI after hearing it could write a song, so I used AI to write the song. It was lackluster at best. I had to ask for way more material because some of the filler was just awful. It wasn’t to my bpm so anything I did keep I had to do rewrites. It was good for creating drull, lifeless, but consistent content, honestly. But it wasn’t useable, or in the correct format, or not interesting. With that said, it was great for structure and subject ideas. I’ll probablly utilize it again soon. It’s like asking a really informed 6th grader to write you a rap, and you gotta flip it into something cogent.  

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

All three of these tracks were reviewed by the Ryini group. I was more focused on if Ryan liked them. He had a couple critiques but he said he liked the first and would get behind it. He said he also liked the second track although I could tell he was thrown off by it. The song is kind of a inside joke because he’s so serious and deep in the hook, and then I made the verse about a funny light-hearted matter. I was self-conscious about the last track because I rap really slow and didn’t now what people would think, but I got all positive feedback. Ryan said the last track was his favorite and he’d be happy to share it. Of course, the track I thought was mid. This is why I publish a lot of tracks because what you think will do well doesn’t and what you think won’t do well, does great.

Kato & Wysh

02/02/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. “Kato & Wysh” is my 69th official release. This is a 7-track album all from a beat pack I bought from Kato & Wysh. All the tracks were self-recorded but mixed and mastered by Keyano. The cover art is by  xoxodesigns from fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

This project is really about the listeners experience. I didn’t make it really indepth with sociological/intellectual word like I did in “Corporate Rule.” I made this for the average individual and contains a bunch of themes I normally talk about in my music. I made this to be played at a party while still being real. The album contains Atheist Raps and Square Dance 2.

Check It Out

01/19/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Check It Out” is my 68th official release. This is the last release from the “Party Politics” album/era. This was self-record but mixed and mastered by Sam Peters at La Luna in Kalamazoo Michigan. The beat is by Anno Domini and the cover art is by  xoxodesigns from fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

Lyrics: A yo, what could? I’m Eric, what’s good? I inspire minds by rhyming lines Film, designs, and mesmerize I used to go hard but I stopped the aggression  I felt it wasn’t needed and shouldn’t be the message I’m focused on the soul and providing a lesson  Like pick up the book and put down the weapon I’d rather kick back on tracks  Then get jacked, and put cats on blast Primates work better in groups  This really isn’t news  I’m illustrious My lyrics have substance It gives your ears sustenance To listen to the love I give  The world a cold place and I’m try’na make it better  Remind you of times that bring us together  Like celebrating birthdays, graduation or Earth Day Life comes in waves, Hope your down for the sur-fang The vibe feels like a hot day out in the water park  Or an other day with the sprinkler out up in the yard I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child For the academics, the young and wild That like the aesthetic, swag, and style       I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child For the academics, the young and wild That like the aesthetic, swag, and style     If hip-hop made me miserable man I’d quit But I take joy in all of it, whether I listen or spit I know I can make it, if you put me on your playlist On tour these songs will double as stage hits So if you like it spit it back to me In the metro retroactively  Attracting what you’d rather be  Then attacking and some tragedy  Know I’m down for whatever Get high on endeavors  Winning hearts and minds for the better Spending time together  Feelin like kids Playin without rules   Crankin up tunes  Talkin bout the news Leave behind the drama Track money with commas Love fans and the genre I stand for karma.  Can’t change your lineage or history Say “It realy isn’t up to me”  But I can change my attitude  And show myself some gratitude Rather cipher than a battle Ride the beat like a saddle Have some fun, and spread some love  And hope that we go platinum Cuz I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child For the academics, the young and wild That like the aesthetic, swag, and style     I do it for the love, the dabs and smiles For the pretty young thing that wanna have my child For the academics, the young and wild That like the aesthetic, swag, and style

Kyle Beats Collective

01/05/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Kyle Beats Collective” is my 67th official release. These are all my lyrics and cadence over six beats I got from Kyle for free. I wanted some song from Kyle beats under my belt and this is what I came up with. There are two features which I got from Fiverr. All the tracks were self-recorded. The entire project was mixed and mastered by Keyano. The cover art is by ArtworkGang from Fiverr. The two features are Kurupt Tha Killa and the female feature on track six.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

For the most part, I made this EP because I wanted to give a little sample of all my styles/main subjects that I talk about over Kyle’s beats. I want tracks over popular producer beats in my catalog and I think my and Kyle’s audience would appreciate this contribution. I don’t think it’s my best work, but it was good enough to put out and vibe too. A lot of stuff that you don’t think is good your audience will like so I just put it all out and let them decided, whereas Kyle’s strategy is to be the tastemaker and not even publish it.

This is my first freestyle track. I wrote this right after Barbenheimer became a thing. The first three tracks are my favorite. I talk about my personal life and get on that sociology tip. Wildly is not the greatest beat to rap over, I intentionally went a little off beat in places. Then the last two tracks were about eros love, which a plethora of music is coming about later in 2024.

I got two features, I payed as little as possible for them while trying to pick up and comers. I basically wanted to give an artist a shot like Kyle does while paying them, but I didn’t have a large budget. Kurupt Tha Killa was tagged and the woman on the sixth track didn’t want to be tagged. I had to tone her verse down, she was talking about cheating on her spouse and me choking her, which is cool, but I didn’t want it graphic and nefarious. And Kyle seems to try and keep it PG-13, so the end result is the happy medium.

Blog Navigation 2023

“The nation's greatness can be judged by how it treats its weakest members.” - Gandhi

Blog Navigation List: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019

Last Updated 12/29/2023

Summary

I make these navigation posts at the end of the year to give a wrap-up and a look back on the year. I post a long-form Update every sunday to YouTube that ends up being in my Friday song release blog post. (You can find the Sunday Update YouTube playlist here.) My book “108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness” is still fundamental in understanding my story, perspective, and the content I talk about here in the blog. I put the cosmic luve log first this time because I think it’s the most relevant. If you actually understand what I’m saying about how these celebrities are reflecting me and I think the coincidences are how Gaia is communicating using them as a vessel, you get it. The only real new treatise editions are to FarmingHumans.com where I came out with a new rendition for the “American Inequality” song release and the “Corporate Rule” album expands upon the public reaction to this in an aggressive tone.

2023 Cosmic Luve posts: (In Chronological Order)

In Last year’s blog navigation (2022), I listed all the cosmic luve entries since the very beginning. This year, I will begin where we left off and the last entry about Taylor Swift’s Folklore.

CosmicLuve.com April 2023 - Sun: In this entry, I give more of a personal update and set goals while relating it to the semantics I’ve been experiencing and previously mentioned. 

CosmicLuve.com July 2023 - The Main Thing: In this entry, I talk about how Emma Watson is the main thing and the reason for all my aspirations, so we can become friends. I talk about her posts on Instagram and relate them as a response to my poem in the Hope Sept 2022 entry. 

CosmicLuve.com August 2023 - Orange: In this entry, I talk about how it appears as if Gaia got me a taco for my birthday. I came to this conclusion after getting semantics from Selena Gomez and Connor Price. 

CosmicLuve.com September 2023 - Bam: In this entry, I introduce Janelle Monae as a cosmic luve and explain how Blue has diabolical plans against Big Carbon. 

CosmicLuve.com November 2023 - Cosmic Bros: In this entry, I induct Connor Price as the first cosmic bro after relating new semantics to the previous entry, Slender Man, Connor’s new “Thrillin” video, and new Hailee Steinfeld reflections. 

CosmicLuve.com December 2023 - Deer: In this entry I give a prophecy by identifying semantics from Gaia that come from Emma Watson being referenced by a deer, a tree, the color purple, etc.

Media and Treatise List:

Sociology:

🏚️FarmingHumans.com 2023 - This was the “American Inequality” song officially released this year and posted as the official Farming Humans 2023 edition. In this post I talk about what socialism is, how money is speech, and how corporations are legal persons and farming humans for labor and money (through consumption).

🎃Corporate Rule Album - The “Corporate rule” album expands upon the information outlined in the “American Inequality” song. The album is a response to that assault on democracy with an Immortal Technique approach. The blog post expands upon how there is a conspiracy of the corporate rich working in unison (using far-right tactics) because it serves their self-interests.

🧾NouveauEconomics.com 2022 - In this post, I talk about how the economy needs to account for what the environment does naturally and give it a monetary value. A start is how certain parts of the environment, like Lake Erie, are being granted personhood. This will be updated semi-annually and can be found at NouveauEconomics.com

🍱 The Psycho Consumption Cage 2021 - In this treatise, I talk about how it’s hard to see environmental degradation that is not added to our economics, how you should be using your buying power strategically, how apex species need economic and congressional representation, some solutions, and examples of psycho tendencies from Christmas and hip-hop.

🏳️‍🌈 Gender Equality 2021 - In this essay, I break down gender equality into six categories: LGBTQ, Phobic, Sexual, Mental, Feminist, and Economic. To properly show the subject of gender equality I reference the 6 Netflix documentaries and linked and discuss related videos from Ellen, HeForShe, TED, Jordan Peterson, The World Bank, and the UN.

🏁 Dark Racism 2021 - In this treatise, I explain the science of racism, how it’s an arbitrary distinction that is socially constructed. Black people do have it worse due to institutionalized racism and white privilege. However, I talk about how black people create their own in-group morality around the word “nigga,” and my presented solution.  

🌎👣 Earth: Sustainability, How To Save Our Planet - If you want to know how to save our planet this post is the summation. Taking from the featured WWF video, I focus on a carbon tax and the three ways to save the planet. Along the way I discuss how it relates to The Psycho Consumption Cage.

🌲Marijuana Treatise 2021 - Published on April 20th and introduced with a discussion of my personal use, in this essay, I wrote about the versatility of hemp, the immorality and failure of the war on drugs, and the medical benefits of cannabis. 

Philosophy: 

🌍108 The Story Of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness (post) - This book is fundamental to understanding me and stands as the foundation in which I build my artistry. The book is nonfiction and autobiographical and about celestial consciousness, my personal story of struggling with schizoaffective disorder, atmospheric consciousness, sustainability, and eugenics, and finishes with what the number 108 means for the origins of life on Earth.

🚸🚜 Knhoeing 2020 -  The information is broken down into celestial consciousness, atmospheric consciousness, sustainability, and eugenics. Knhoeing states the planets, stars, and atmosphere are alive, and how humans can understand that through sustainability and eugenics. Knhoeing has to do with understanding your position in the universe and expresses and addresses human purpose through a eugenics goal. To survive & thrive as a species, we must support ourselves through healthy sustainability and breed to understand higher dimensions. 

🙏Sentientism 2022 - This post contains insights into my mind and the voice in my head, Gaia. Sentientism explores the belief (whereas knhoeing is the knowledge) that Gaia is conscious and communicating. I explain how sentientism is the religion of Gaia where you worship through action and create dogma through science and philosophy. If the planet earth is conscious how would she try to communicate considering she has no mouth or ligaments? How would Gaia try to communicate? I postulate and explain how Gaia could be communicating through a kind of telepathic randonauting.

📐 Expanding on Plato’s Philosophy: Forms and the Tripartite Soul (2020) - In this treatise, I explain how Plato’s forms are stored and strived for by Gaia and how Plato’s theory about the tripartite soul is similar to my theory about the will.

♟️ Logic - This post is a short introduction to logic. I use quotes and pictures of pages from the book “How Philosophy Works.” The content includes deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning, fallacies, and formal logic. I have also embedded a couple of CrashCourse videos.

12/29/2023 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Praises” is my 66th official release. This song is energetic, romantic, and intellectual all at the same time. This song is about praising Gaia as if she was your lover. The song officially features Headband Henny and unofficially features Sam Peters who also mixed and mastered the track at La Luna Recording and Sound in Kalamazoo Michigan. It was self-recorded and the beat is by That Kid Goran who I shout out in the song. The cover art is by xoxodesigns from fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

I wanted to make a song basically thanking Gaia and telling her if she brings me more good fortune I will rap her praises in the same way you want to rap the praises of your girlfriend or boyfriend.I’m really talking to Gaia and vessel’s of Gaia about how I wanna rap their praises. And considering the theory is that Gaia influences through inferences of love especial romantic (aka eros) it is appropriate to talk to her as if she were your significant other.  “Get naked” is a metaphor for “baring it all.”

Lyrics: Rap your praises Rap your praises Eric Leo 108 Check it Wow girl, you fine, go ahead and get naked Rappin what I do, never into fake’n  My heart, from your love is what’s been taken I just wanna give it back, and rap your praises Shout out to my producers That work on my music Like That Kid Goran Thanks for this beat dude let’s  Get this money and endorsements Stack it high til it abhorrent Feel’n Amorphous Like the energy course’n (I said) Feeling amorphous Like the energy course n Through my veins and orifices While connecting the Forrests The spirit bomb is real dawg The Egyptians have revealed y’all  Energy and we evolved Connected and involved We can’t even talk to plants Or communicate to dolphins How we gonna talk to aliens Or the earth, even if we wanna So I’m gonna abide And live my life Enjoy the ride And focus my eyes Cuz Not every one observes  The starry nights in verse I step left (right) to learn How To connect with earth Like flowing water streams I see you in my dreams How you treat the people see Is the reason we agree Wow girl, you fine, go ahead and get naked Rappin what I do, never into fake’n  My heart, from your love is what’s been taken I just wanna give it back, and rap your praises Wow girl, you fine, go ahead and get naked Singing what I do, never into fake’n  My heart, from your love is what’s been taken I just wanna give it back, and sing your praises I just want to give it back and rap your praises  This space is where I’m gonna be for now  Matter of fact it’s so amazing  Mother Nature  Nurtured me  And I’ve been patient Ly waiting for  The days in store That earth is worth saving for  We need to treat you like you treated us  We’ve always needed you, you ain’t needed things from us  We’ve been ungrateful and neglectful thus far  So now it’s time for us to get to doing our part  Cuz I know it’s bliss  But I want all of this around for my kids  If it’s hurting you then I ain’t rocking them kicks  Everywhere I go, I can’t help but take a pic  Cuz being picturesque  Is yours best  dang feature  With all the creatures  Chilling and relaxing  But you’re still the teacher  Telling us what to do  I’m seeing all the signs  And we just want you  To be healthy and all fine Wow girl, you fine, go ahead and get naked Rappin what I do, never into fake’n  My heart, from your love is what’s been taken I just wanna give it back, and rap your praises Wow girl, you fine, go ahead and get naked Singing what I do, never into fake’n  My heart, from your love is what’s been taken I just wanna give it back, and sing your praises Rap your praises Rap your praises Rap your praises
