Infinity Pool feat NAHreally (prod by Garfunkle), by ialive from the album Quietism

Originally I made this beat for Beyoncé but since she didn’t answer my emails, @ialive.bsky.social and @nahreally.bsky.social rocked on it. It’s better for it, honestly

I say this to say: just do whatever you want. People are kind of stupid and if you let them infect you with their stupid you’re going to lose. Just do what’s in your heart because you know what you want to see more of out there. These people don’t know shit.

Fuck christmas let’s rap.

Child actor… this bonus beat.

Update. No infection, just need this wisdom tooth pulled. Dr Nick was recommended.

I can’t tell if im sick or just my tooth is infected. Or if my brain is infected by devils

Fuck em all friday.
