    I came across a few copies of the original pressing of my debut album Beautiful Loser via Goon Trax. I have a homie in Japan who put me on (Patrick Gamez thank you brother, everyone else says thanks too!) These are Digi packs and extremely hard to come by, I will sign them unless otherwise specified. I will add a signed photo with a handwritten story from the time in which the LP was recorded. This is going to be a nice package for the real heads. Act fast! The Digi pack is a nice, matte, cardstock, and the art is ill.

about

This track represents individual open letters to three people who Awon reveals as his son, his girlfriend and future wife, and his cousin who led a troubled life whom did not live to see this album released. Art imitates life and these are all true stories unfortunately.

lyrics

Still Got Love

You took me from a boy to a man
Reality hit me when I held you in my hand like damn
This nigga look just like me
Wonder will he love Hip Hop
And write rhymes just like me
See I was a street dude rather married to wealth
I wanted to raise you and be a daddy myself
With no one to confuse you
Treat you wrong or abuse you
Niggas trying to play my part
Not seeing you breaks my heart cause we tight
I hate to be blunt, but your mommy ain’t right
Respect her protect her keep it real
But sometimes she treats you like a bill
For you little man I’m a get this deal
You at the top of the list when I write my will
Anyone harms you I got the right to kill
You made me look at life for real

Lil man if you ain’t seen daddy in a week
Always remember I still got love
And right now life ain’t treating me sweet
But always remember I still got love
And at night I pray to the heavens above
The angels embrace you with their hugs
And our bonds thicker than blood
If you feel I’m far way remember I still got love

You opened my eyes to friendship and love
We go together like mask and gloves
And blast slugs on anyone trying to break
The bond that we created and get me frustrated
Trespassers get annihilated its our world
Me and you’re my girl really my right hand
Put me on to paper plans and major scams
To bring in face cards by the grand
Even if I move it by the gram
You still right there holding my hand
To stand beside your man
Through all the bullshit and irrelevant drama
Poppin off with the baby mama
You still chill and let me know shits real
With six bills or six mills you still fix good meals
Even though I’m hella hood the lovin is hella good
I’ll give you the world if I could understood

Baby if we happen beef and I ain’t cheat
Just remember I still got love
And if you ever plan to leave please work it out
Cause God knows I still got love
And at night I pray to the heavens above
The angels embrace you with their hugs
And our bonds thicker than blood
If you feel I’m far way remember I still got love

It’s been a while since we hung out we lost touch
Some things got crossed up now that we grown up
You like my younger brother it hurts me to see
You took the same path as me and never changed
Now everything the game embedded in your brain remains
And shiest niggas turned you on to cocaine
I try to understand why you damage yourself
Can’t tell a grown man how to manage his health
You better than them people you hang with
Them niggas you bang with don’t speak your language
I remember when you peed in the bed
We played in the park
You the first nigga that would analyze my art
When I see you falling off it breaks my heart
I try to pick you up but you cant’ take the darts
Life’s throwing you I understand what you going through
But another side of the game I been showing you

Homie if we ain’t speak for weeks don’t lose sleep
Just remember I still got love
And if you got beef on the streets call me up
Because cousin I still got love
And at night I pray to the heavens above
The angels embrace you with their hugs
And our bonds thicker than blood
If you feel I’m far way remember I still got love
