Myst 03:16
Take the pain, it will only take a day Stain the name, the name is here to stay Close your eyes, forever stay awake Free your mind, surrender to your fate Take a walk to the mind it's a forest Night's on, lights off till the chorus Hits you in the face like an epiphany In the midst of the mist it's a mystery Tryna find in a puzzle some inner peace While you solve yourself like a puzzle piece Flow like water Bruce Lee on a river stream Row your boat baby life is but a dream Take the pain, it will only take a day Stain the name, the name is here to stay Close your eyes, forever stay awake Free your mind, surrender to your fate Been a minute since you started acting up Maybe you just figured it out now let's wrap it up Ask yourself the same old question "Am I good enough?" Don't even bother answering something like that, coz that's what's up Switch it up, level up, only upgrades in the cup Fill it up, that's enough, no it's not, not enough Never enough, that's enough I ain't got no time to fuss That's enough that's enough You are just an empty cup Let it be, light the way, Free the mind, light the weight You can try to kick me out of here but i'm here to stay Hmm yeah put your hands together boy you better pray Hmm yeah you are me and I am you Namaste Can't find your way around, I go up when I come down No one can see your lies, told myself a thousand times Can't find your way around, knew myself I'm no one now No one can see your lies, locked myself a thousand times Take the pain, it will only take a day Stain the name, the name is here to stay Close your eyes, forever stay awake Free your mind, surrender to your fate

Affirmations 03:07
I am the best, at least that's what I tell myself Whether you agree or not, it's how I should address myself Mr.Spitfire I ain't gonna doubt myself I'm a hit writer that's just how I build myself Build my wealth, Re-arrange the blocks, change the circuitry upgrade myself I'm taking on new challenges I break myself I'm overcoming change I embrace myself Plane can crash anytime soon I brace myself Don't need a parachute I'm free falling Call me Petty but I'm free falling Till someone answers I'mma keep calling, Foot in the door you can slam but I'll keep balling And you can take it how you want it my team will make me they'll break you should know I'm joining I ain't a gamble, i'm an investment so I go all in I am the boss man and these are all the shots I'm calling Had to believe in my before my homies could Now we working together to gather firewood Don't need no gasoline to burn yeah we all good I just gotta spit a rhyme and we lit the woods Burn the forest of confusion down I got life in a cup half full I don't wanna down So let me sip it slowly, it's holy, each moment they come and go but they don't know me you should write that down Clock keeps talking I should wind it down I got bad days that I turn around I'm like Coltrane on that turnaround, I'm OTT but still elegant like a wedding gown That's feminine reference I'm a man who's masculine but I still get the sentiment My heart is my residence, Devi's my reverend, Star is element, Presence my essence in Everything I do from starting to finishing Raw but I'm polished enough for attention, enough is enough I don't need to try to be somebody else to fit in I don't need your mentions I'm the 9th dimension Break away the tension I just put it in detention Coldly like an ICE agent! Ya'll busy detaining, all your dreams and aspirations While i've been entertaining, living mine, my inclination Is me, myself and I and somehow that's your inspiration! I'm in for innovation I'm down for in the basement I'm up for elevation These are my affirmations.

about

Project X is a combination of wild thoughts, emotions and bottled up aggression that needed to be expressed after Xenai was forced to leave the states due to immigration reform.

The mixtape consists of a combination of songs Xenai had worked on since he came back from Boston as well as songs that he co-produced with his brother in his home studio in Bahrain.

Xenai adds his own touch of cultural flavor through his beats, instrumentation, rhymes and vocal technique.
