THE CROWS - INTRO

[NARRATION]
The Crows
A collection of ten tracks inspired by the late poet Edgar Allan Poe and his works
This project is the embodiment of Mr. Blackburn’s growth throughout the past few years and his ongoing war with himself
The path to understanding oneself is a long and arduous journey, with dangers lurking around every corner
Proceed with caution, as this guide will attempt to help you through this voyage by narrating stories, experiences and in some cases actual events to alert you of the various dangers your mind, body and soul may very well have to face
The Crows serves as a prologue to a greater body of work, so be prepared and good luck!

[REFRAIN]
The moon is rising
Over this broken land
But now your mind is forfeit
And the crows are coming back

[VERSE 1]
The game of life, Russian roulette it’s a risky one
A dark forest full of fog with no fucking sun
The pure souls get drowned out by the leaves
While the sinister prosper changing rules so nobody won
Everybody know each other with a different name, different faces on for every version that you made
My heart is beating so fucking loud like they murdered me and hid me under floorboard, insane
See I had a couple difficult past years
Nah scratch that, past life
Warzone, I living on the go, reload, deploy and retreat but stay in kill mode
See I felt like I had to hold my tongue, my soul it was only going south bruh
But i made it to the top of that mountain
Call me Reinhold Messner, I don’t Everest not once

[VERSE 2]
I was never really one to talk about it, mental health for me had always problem, back in the day imagine a little kid in the back of the class, talking with his homies, 1st grade when I saw a porno on my homie phone
Past that my best friend smoked, offered me a cigarette, 3rd grade I said fuck no
That shit stuck with me
Teacher told me I would never be shit, I be like fuck you bitch
That shit crazy
Picture a little kid questioning his life, who had self doubts for shit people told him most of the time
And that shit stuck with me to this day
Still deal with self hate
I manage it tho
If it wasn’t for y’all I’d be fucked right now so I’m grateful for the shit that I got in
This appreciation for the people that have always stuck with me and brought me up
Music homies family fans and love is what I’m motherfucking living for 
So I skipped meals barely ate because of the stress
September man I didn’t know what was next
I hit a wall but you brought me back to my feet
This time I’m telling you the making of me

[HOOK]
Ooooooooh, they follow you around man
Ooooooooh, like vultures to a carcass
Fuck everybody bitch this my year
I’m telling y’all my story man, the crows are here
