GaTshy Ear Waves "OZI F TEDDY"

Gatsh IT.MIX AND MISS.MIX AND MISS.Gatsh IT.

I wish I was a rapper. There are certainly times when I wish I could just drop an album and channel all my ideas, anger, humor, and energy into some music and be done with it..(Todd Boyd) BUT no, i'll stick to what i know best.
If you can't take the eyes of the world on you , Put on some shades(hater blocks). Their gaze? Zone it out. Drown out their voices and just listen to the voices in your own head...make them louder.
