Wise Ones! There's so much darkness happening in the world today. I was deeply inspired by Jay-Z's "4:44", & I wanted to make a song to remind us that its time for to be the light that we want to see in the world. "5:55" is a triple number, it symbolizes that you're going through a major life change. It can also signal that this big change is coming ahead, so prepare for it now. It also means validation that the change you're contemplating is the best direction for you to take. Lets the be the change we want to see for ourselves, & choose the light path. Even when its dark outside.... Stay Wise my friends. "Apologies in Advance" 01/12/2018. Also its Jonathan Benaventes birthday today! Wish him a happy birthday please!
God bless you my man. I can tell by your spirit he already does. Your music helps me overcome the darkness in my life and I appreciate all that you do, for it is from the heart. Never give this up, and I, for one, will never give up in believing in you. Too many preach the darkness for the sake of style, and yet you murder all those preconceived notions and inspire me to glorify the light in my work too. Have a good day my man, you blessed with yet another beautiful composition today.
Your music is not just inspiring and clearly from the heart...it resenates a vibration that speaks to the soul. I listen to this song every monring I wake up while I prepare myself for the day. Your music can do so many different things for people you reach with every song. I appreciate the time and effort you have put into your ART and I hope that you reach every soul possible with this pure form of a visionary sharing his thoughts with his fellow human.
This song still is one of my all time favorite songs period. Just wanted you to know that your music means a lot to me. I'm sorry to hear about the news bro, I wish you luck on your fight moving forward.
Felt like I needed this song again, and it brought me to your cancer diagnosis video. Just wanna say, you are a bright light in a lot of peoples life, and you won't dim any time soon!
Dawg you don't understand how much your music makes people feel. I found best me and selfish in a dark time and your words really sparked something inside me. Like I can't explain it. Then I show you to my friends and they all fuck with you now. You've got a fan for life my man, keep doing you and the real ones gonna follow ✊
Yeeeeees im buying this when it comes out i loooove this music we need this upbeat music man i feel good THANK YOOOOOU :DD I miss the feeling of being that lil boy that could only smile and when everyone would always ask why he's always happy
Emmanuel Harris thats gonna be real tough to do! but even if it dont match or top Searching Sylvan in the way we would hope it might, I can already see he's progressing beyond the place he was in we he put that together, and its gonna be dope either way
Sylvan LaCue is killing it. The flow is unique the beats are banger and the lyrics actually have a solid messaged. Every upload i am impressed!! My favorite artist right now hands down. So excited for "Apologies in Advance"
You have blessed my life ❤️ glad to have had that one phone call with you talking about goals and dreams and here you are creating beautiful music and living your dreams
Wow i found green goblin back when i played mw3 7-8 years later i see his comment on a video i would not expect to see him on. Your taste in music is a 10 my friend.
Sylvan, I really hope you see this. You’ve become my favorite artist in such a short period of time. I have never wanted to learn the lyrics of all an artists music before I found you. I will surely buy Apologies in Advanced; and if you release a Vinyl, I am for sure picking one of those up as well. If you’re ever in the NY area doing a show, already know you’ve sold a ticket to me. Your music inspires me and so many others. Thank you! Blessings to you and all your loved ones❤️
I can't say enough how amazing your music is sylvan. Such strong emotion, and beautiful song writing. Keep doing what you love and we the fans promise to always keep loving You! Apologies in advance is going to be breathe taking ❤ stay wise.
Keep that light shining always protect it and never let it burn out. Love and cherish every moment given to you dont let anything take you away from your achievements or goals.
I woke at 5:55...weird thing with water on my nightstand spilling over my head...so i went searching for a meaning and this song was the first to pop up! Ahhhh I'm moving. This is the ultimate sign, for me!
This music is so deep, positive, and inspiring it's amazing. If I were to show this track to some of my "friends" I garentee they will say it's garbage. Everyone who listens to rap music is brainwashed, we need more of this guy and more wisdom!
This is definitely going to be your best project, I really can't wait man. The musicality in all your recent songs just lifts me up and makes me feel so much better.
thank you Sylvan I just found your music and I cant tell you how much it has helped me, I cant help but be depressed lately, but your music is helping me count my blessings and stay positive!
Intro] Hmm, yeah [Verse 1] Hol' up, I don't know what's... got me looking to the past when...

3yrs later this songs plays a big part in my life, I lost my mom to this virus & I’m picking up da pieces to put my life together thank U bro wherever U are God bless you 💯
yo i cannot wait to see him blow all the way up when, when people finally catch onto his music. hes been making fire for very long time, and its bout time people who been saying "real hip hop music dont exist no more" realize that sylvan is another example of those keeping it alive. to this day Searching Sylvan is still one of the best audio movies ever. not a mixtape, or album, but an audio movie lol.

Alex Brown nah kyou can tell kendrick had or has a huge influence on thid guys... just listen to all the looped semi choruses. very kendrick like.
He's sylvan lacue, that's what we should be worried about
Manic Beats Kendrick met Cole fam
Kaze Jones I don't see the Cole influence if I'm honest, even though J cole is one of my favourite rappers
Love this bro nothing but beautiful vibes....keep doing you!!!! Been following since Quest days. Go Sylvan go!!!!

Intro]
Hmm, yeah
[Verse 1]
Hol' up, I don't know what's... got me looking to the past when... I'm moving forward
I might slip up on my ass, but I never fold up
I might pull up late to class, but I always show up
[Hook]
Yeah even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 2]
And I know, I know, I know I'm a mess
I don' made a mess now
Caught me slippin on the right
Whippin from the left now
I been all up off my game
Young, dumb and stressed out
Might not hit a triple-double
But I put my best out
[Hook]
Yeah even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 3]
And I know, I know, I know how it goes
I need to work on my soul (Soul)
I need to work on my goals (Goals)
I need to balance my patience
Work on my pace and empty my woes (Ya)
I need to feel my emotions (Ya)
I need a grip on my focus (Ya)
I need to know what I've chose is not just for me
And nurture my closest (Ya)
I need to work with my father
Too many curses I harbor
I need a break from my habits
Cleanse of my spirit
Fill up my chalice (Woo)
I need to know what I offer
Show me a way to go farther
Peace of mind [piece of mine], it's gon' cost and
[Bridge]
And I've been fuckin' up for a quite a while
Don't know how to hide it
I've been dealin' with some problems by myself in silence
I ain't always at my best
Even when I'm smillin'
I might lose it under stress
But I always find it
[Hook]
Yeah, even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 4]
And time, and time, and time, and time, and time
And time again, I gotta turn around and tell myself
Life's too short for the cards I dealt to decide my health
The mind might help when the spine might jelq from the limelight, welp
Will I lose sight? Only time might tell
Does anybody feel lost on the planet?
Peel back layers to my soul like, hol' up
I pray for the days when the new Wayne tapes had me on ketchup mayonnaise don cannon
Ain't no ceilings
'Ye was killing
'09 Drake had me in my feelings
Before 4:44, Hov made millions
Number one off Empire State Building
A state of bliss coming in the air, no Phil &'
If I ever had a doubt, momentum killed it
And you can have all that you want
Heaven or Hell?
Choices on choices (Ya)
Voices on voices (Ya)
Teeter totter through the peace & drama
Feed & water spirit while my ego wonders
I be chill pillin' yet I'm hardly somber
Caught between the Art of War and Dalai Lama (Woo)
I need an end to my ways
I need an end to my ways
Yea, uh, this ain't the ending of days
This is a pivotal page
Decisions on decisions
Am I a vessel of truth
Or as crooked as any politician?
I'm from where niggas don't have a pot to piss in
Mama's in the kitchen
Rent is no forgiveness
Reeboks on the extensions
We got good intentions
Circumstances changing
Devil's start to clenchin'
Toe-to-toe with demons
Angels on the benches
30 on the clock
Clutching through the trenches
Which side, which side?
I could be lost, delivered, deprived
Sever my ties, decide to be blind
Or open my eyes, yea
[Hook]
Yeah even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Instrumental Outro]

5:55 and Selfish are very similar. But different at the same time. Excellent work Mr. Lacue! You continue to amaze me!
yo i cannot wait to see him blow all the way up when, when people finally catch onto his music. hes been making fire for very long time, and its bout time people who been saying "real hip hop music dont exist no more" realize that sylvan is another example of those keeping it alive.
to this day Searching Sylvan is still one of the best audio movies ever. not a mixtape, or album, but an audio movie lol.
Facts. That album was an experience
