I wanted to do something that goes back to my roots and allows me to sound off about things that stimulate me. We're still in the midst of a global pandemic, so I felt a project with storytelling would be relevant for these crazy times. For this tape I've collaborated with some of my heroes, some talented up and comers in Drum & Bass and some of my best friends too! I'm so proud to work with these incredible people, their work is inspiring. Huge shouts to my label too for letting me express myself with no limitations.” – Degs Lyrics: I call it Crosstown Blues
Sometimes that path finds you
And it can make no sense Still I tried to show love to the world
Tryna make my own case
A feeling you can never replace
I call it Crosstown Blues
From town to town I tried to find my home
These complexities of growing up had stunted all my growth
And after my degree I said that I would go out on my own
Rejected everything I’d known (Crosstown blues)
But being away from family was hard I never grasped the sense of unity that brightens up that path Instead I thought that going solo was the way to make my mark
But then the nights were getting dark
I call it Crosstown Blues (Moving from place to place)
In a house with folks I’d hardly met
Navigate the stench of alcohol and cigarettes
Friday night they partied I had spreadsheets on my legs Do reports and go to bed Am I finally having regrets?
Needed to escape but now restricted to my bed
Knowing that the week is gonna start over again
Start over again
I call it Crosstown Blues
Sometimes that path finds you
And it can make no sense
Still I tried to show love to the world
Tryna make my own case
A feeling you can never replace
I call it crosstown blues
Wish people would say what they mean
Had a couple different jobs
Not one of them were what they seemed The longest hours for some pittance A young man with some dreams There’s those that take advantage Sell a life with things you need
And I was sold right down that river
With nothing guaranteed so when you question people’s ethics In all these companies You are immediately a target
Progression hits the freeze
What part of this did I misread?
I call it Crosstown Blues
