The Wandering Wolfsta - Karl Story (feat. Margo Free)
Man, This has been a fucking wild journey aye
Just life in general and just, yeah
Life is just a trip -
You know it
Yo! My history lesson in session
Grew up on the streets of Lemon and Paeroa
On the block of felons so effen broken
No heaven or Jehovah
Hid my expression feeling threatened
Only eleven laying on the sofa
Way to scared to socialize
Couldn't speak to the ladies
I was never no Casanova
I couldn't face it my spirit reached its limit
Booked a ticket - visit my father
Pivot my direction - a career offer
Chasing richness - those mighty dollars
Viscous business trading labor for paper
Slave to the system - nothing greater
Following the herd - nothing faker
It made sense - none the wiser
One morning my world was rocked
Driving to work in the distance I witness
My father laying lifeless
Calling for assistance - gone in an instant
Extreme resistance to wait in stillness
In a twist I lost my trade service job
Kept pushing on saying I still must
Balls deep in financial stress
Paying off a mortgage at 18
Suffering in silence...
The lessons were priceless
Built my self reliance up
Looking back it took many seasons to integrate
But it wasn't real for me I wanted to be free
So three years layers we agree to liquidate
Allowing me the means to see the key of me externally
Traveling to the landscapes that I appreciate
Forever fleeing and running from me
Internally avoiding the scary demons that await
Damn
Light and love will always be your guide
Angels sing everything will be all right
And in time you'll know why it had to be
Enjoy the ride let go and be free
I'm so blown away came so far on my own
Became a well known photographer
Using molly as a loan
I got in the zone and shone
Off wit the slow-mo shutter
Still prone to going home alone though
My gut pulling me across country
So I ponder can't linger
Four thousand kilometers outta my comfort zone
In the unfamiliar - a mission to discover
Who am I?
Into the desert evoking a new zest within me
Helping refresh and sketch a fresh history
I attest living in a car without excess for a year
Stretches you and will distress easily
Nothing to suppress the stress within
No choice but express whats deep in ya chest
On a quest trading trash cans for cents
Trying ya best - you a mess in agony
You suffer to get tougher yeah you recover
And discover you a survivor
A warrior of talent to the core
A transient explorer breaking generational trauma
On a tangent searching for fragments of the soul (before)
Walking through the door to self trust
Forging along the path
Knowing you can never stay stagnant anymore
No idea what's in store but Id
Reinforce my aura with spirit escorting
Me along this planet to explore
Light and love will always be your guide
Angels sing everything will be all right
And in time you'll know why it had to be
Enjoy the ride let go and be free
Shout out to you Dad
Thank you for unlocking this path for me
And supporting me from the other side
Eternally grateful - thank you
