More Than Music III - Ollie

Yeah, somedays I don’t leave my room

Sometimes I feel so depressed

Put this all into my music, I’m tryna give you my best

The pressure is weighing a ton

I wanted to make you all proud

I wanted to give you an anthem

Something that you could turn loud

When everything is too much and you don’t think that you can go another day

When you at your limit and just 'bout to give in and sick of pretending that

you’re okay

I know what it can be like to hurt

Telling yourself it won’t ever change

Cling to a bottle at 4 in the morning attempting to drink away all the pain

The more I grow up, I’ve been cutting size

This industry full of some fucking lies

How can I feel anything you saying when most of your songs you don’t even write?

All of my songs are a piece of me

I’m writing down stories I’ve lived, this

This is way more than just music

See, writing this music’s the reason I lived 'em

I’m finally alive

I used to wake up and work 9 to 5

They used to laugh at my records and all of my efforts until I would wanna go

die

But who laughing now?

This ain’t a flex

This is me humbly saying I’m blessed

This is my spilling my guts on the track

Ripping my heart that’s beating in my chest

That will not switch, always be real

I’m not controlled, want no part of your deal

Spend every day of my life in the studio 'cause it’s the only way I know to heal

I will not lose, stay up all night

I will not lose, say that shit twice

I’ve given everything I have to give

Pour out my story inside of a mic, for this I would die

I will not lose

I will not!

Lose

«It's much more than music, man—I feel your music.

I just don’t hear it,

I feel it.»

«I just listen to your music and it calms me to know that I’m not as alone as I

sometimes believe to be.»

«Even when no one else was there for me, your music was.»

«Your music is so relatable and I, there’s not that many artists out there that

we can relate to nowadays.»

«I can’t go a day without listening to your music.»

«Your music captures everything I feel and puts it into words.»

«Thanks so much for your music, from Montreal.»

«You've changed the way I’ve thought, you’ve changed the way I live my life.»

«I don’t know you;

you don’t know me, but your music saved me.»

And I might not be the greatest artist that’s ever lived

The best rapper or best singer with platinum hits

But at least I stood for something real, and I’m proud that I did

So go ahead, tell me all of my record shit

That I won’t make it, I’ve heard it all a million times

But I keep pushing, I see the vision within these lines

A lot of days I spent losing

Guess it helped me make something much more than… music

And man, it’s—bro, it’s been a long, crazy ride.

And I’m so glad to be a part

of a team somehow.

With all that being said, I appreciate everything you’re

doing—and we’ll talk real soon, buddy.

Take care
