Before you watch it, know this: this song is not "hey I'm rapping!", rather it's a poetic song. Take the video as that too. Hope you enjoy!

Footsteps on the Beach (And The Moon)
Prod. by Mat Demaz

[Verse 1]
I'm feelin' so free under this clear blue sky,
And it's so real as can be, oh how the years flew by.
I know my speech can make me sound like an old guy, but
Nostalgia's killing me - at times I don't mind it
Yet I'm trying to fight it. But the feeling of sand
Under my feet on the beach, I just can't deal with it, man!
There are memories etched, but a change in the weather,
I better protect it! But the waves will erase it forever.
A life cycle - I'm quite right, too. Right by you
Time flies, you better change your lifestyle, or die like you
Never lived at all - and everything you are
Is drowned out by the silence, I'm just waitin' for that pin to fall.
I take this pen to heart - my heart begins to start,
Sometimes I close my eyes to pretend it's dark.
I soar the stars... whizz by planets,
Man, I'm livin' the life! I wake up, I wished I hadn't...


[Verse 2]
Because of Dr. Sagan, I dipped my feet in the Cosmic Ocean Shore,
I thought he told us more, he's now a fallen Trojan Horse.
The money spent buying it was worth the annoyance,
I had the Cosmos in my lap! My own Personal Voyage
Was being undertaken, and thunder/rain could not
awaken me from the wonder, patience reading, probably a 100 pages.
I wanna venture to the stars, rest in peace to Carl Sagan
Let's all be patient, we all will make it, the call awaits us.


[Verse 3]
I dream of when I'm next to you, starin' at the crescent Moon,
And when I move, you vanish, I settle to pay the devil's dues.
But I leave several clues, a path up to a better dude,
A clever fool, paying the consequences when I question you.
Let me paint you a picture grander than a pallet can,
I'm walking slowly on a beach, surrounded by a land of sand.
I feel lifted by real waves, I'm digging my heels
Into the wet sand, you can bet that I tried figuring deals
But tell me, what's the deal? I felt somewhat surreal
Like a surge of energy that didn't come from a meal.
At the same time calm came over me, yes
The farther away from nature I go, the colder I get.
Am I a martyr for fame? We'll have to see, won't we?
My life is up to me, we have to breathe, don't we?
I let all my problems fall, the waves lap at me
I look up at see the Moon, a smile breaks my face happily.
I breathe the smell of the ocean, this is real life
I look at the prints behind me, that's when I realized...


[Outro]
I realized that...
I find it... poetic, that the same Moon I look up and revel at,
Is the same Moon that erases the footsteps I make in the sand.
That's why I shoot for the Moon.
Because that way? When I make my path,
My mark will last forever.

This took a full watch to truly appreciate for me. I was thrown off at first because I expected you to rap some of the parts, but the montage effect actually works really well for this part. Especially since it's on the beach. The video is pretty goofy but it's endearing, the song itself is very serious in tone so it's cool to see you toggle between serious and playful.

As for the song, damn. I've heard it a bunch, but this is a first for most everyone else. Love, love, love the beat. Seriously, shit's like a thousand dollars cash money. The first verse is my favorite, I love the "die like you" scheme, it's so fluid. You just sound so comfortable over self produced beats and those from Mat. It fits your style a lot better than some of these online instrumentals. I really like this song mane.
You'd be surprised...

What Mr. Dgaf said :P there's your love on the vid lol. But yea I was also thrown off by the no rapping AT ALL, I understand where you were coming from and everything just you'd expect your VERY FIRST music video accompanying a song off your VERY FIRST album for you to at least rap in it? maybe this vid should've been released second in my eyes? cool song though bro, shave the bear haha

Personally, this sort of music doesn't appeal to me, but nonetheless I was impressed to see you really stepped out side the box - and onto the beach, lol.
Big ups for trying something alternative and your lyrics were dope.

Hey man, thats a very nice video, very relaxing and chill. The song and the lyrics are dope as fuck man, and the quality is great. Not to mention Demaz is great on that beat.

the only advice I would give you for future recordings is to change the delivery, make it more smooth, you sound very on top of the beat and the voice is very very high pitched, I gotta tell you, that is normally not appealing to hip hop heads, so try to smooth it out and relax the flow. You squeeze sometimes too much words in each bar which makes the flow a bit shaky on some situations. Never the less, the skill is there and the video is very dope and chill.

Good on ya mate

I like the lyrics, but your tonality sounds coverish/parody. Like you're not that comfortable rapping, or it's not you.
You have to work on making the song yours, and owning it more, and it's perfect.
Also you pronounce some words too generically, like you're talking. If that's your style make sure you get back in a flow after, it takes you a while after you emphasis and it throws me off.
