- So this week is a big week for me.
Not only am I performing and speaking at the National Academy of Medicine and Aspen
Institute’s “Action Collaborative on Countering the U.S. Opioid Epidemic” in Washington, D.C. -
but I am also turning 28.
Despite my challenges in the past, I feel very fortunate to be alive.
I’m only 27 - and half of my friends are already dead.
Here’s the second single from my album, CLEAN, entitled:
“Only One Left.”
Let’s work together to make a difference in this epidemic.

Lyrics:
Yeah. Yeah.
I lost a whole lot of friends.
I lost a whole lot of friends.
I’m 27 and half of my homies are dead
Some of ‘em locked in the feds.
Some of ‘em got sober, relapsed, and had to start over again,
Feel like the only one left
Maybe this shit is a dream.
Maybe I never got clean.
Maybe I died and OD'd.
Way back when I was a fiend, I had to wake up and scheme.
I had to make me some green.
I had to do what I had to do.
That means I did anything.
I had to steal from my friends.
I had to lie to my fam.
That's just supply and demand.
I had to cook up a plan,
so I could cook up a gram,
so I could shoot up again,
so I could stop all the pain,
so I could quiet the voices inside of my head,
so I could lie to myself,
so I didn’t have to change
People who knew me back then - who look at me now -
tell me that I ain’t the same.
Tell me that I should be proud.
They knew me when I was down.
They see how far that I came.
Lately, I’ve been out of town.
Lately, I’ve been out of range.
I’ve been busy making moves.
I’ve been busy getting paid.
People talking down my name.
I got some people I know got resentments against me -
but I don’t respond, I refrain.
I tell ‘em I wish them the best.
They got some baggage that I ain’t the one who can claim.
I got some girls from my past who won't leave me alone -
even though I’m out the frame.
Liking my instagram posts and sending me messages.
Damn, that shit makes me insane.
I got a girl on my mind but Imma be real,
I can’t do feels.
I caught too many and that shit do damage,
so I keep my thoughts and intentions concealed.
I’m tryna keep it 110 ‘cause I know that feelings are what get you killed.
I’m tryna live for my people who sleep underneath of a stone with their name in a field.
I’m tryna keep it 110 ‘cause I know that feelings are what get you killed.
I’m tryna live for my people who sleep underneath of a stone with their name in a field.
I’m tryna keep it 110 ‘cause I know that feelings are what get you killed.
I’m tryna live for my people who sleep underneath of a stone with their name in a field.
Yeah. So, I’m 27 and... half of my homies are dead.
