One of the most liberating moments I ever experienced was the moment I decided to sacrifice financial security for my own spiritual and creative cultivation. I was working at Trader Joe's at the time, (early 2015), and living in an apartment in Brooklyn, (an alley-oop from my fam Amir and Hannah). I remember having a writers block that had already lasted many months coupled with some mysterious ailment that rendered me hoarse for almost a month, at that point. I was stressed, couldn't finish a single song, and felt like opportunities were constantly slipping through my fingers.
I remember clocking in to work one morning and getting situated behind my register for the hour, staring at the register, and feeling so spiritually drained that I legitimately could not lift my arm to tell my manager that I was ready to start. I felt like I had maxed out. I literally could not lift my arm. It was this moment where I realized I was done. I was no longer willing to trade my time, focus, creativity, and life force, for cheep and fleeting security...So I quit, (well...I put in my two weeks notice, but "I quit" just sounded cooler).
I remember the night sky after my last day at work. It was a deep Marine Blue. It smelled felt like freshly clothes without dryer sheets, it tasted like freedom, it was bitter and sweet.
I will always remember that blue and that feeling. This song is dedicated to that.

Moving still... the subtlety in this video is astounding. I had to re-watch several times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Kamau, you are a deep artist, never stop delving, what you create is beautiful in a world full of dysphoria.

[Verse 1]
I just let it go
We don't ever know
Where it's gunna go
We go with the flow
We just let it go
I already know
That we're gunna grow
We gon' make it so
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Either way the world goes round
Funny how it all falls down
All good
Okay
C'est bon
C'est bon
All good
Oh oh dang that's (It's all okay)
The way things do (C'est bon, C'est bon)
Some things fall through (C'est bon, C'est bon)
It seems all blue (It's All Good)
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (C'est bon)
We move some things (C'est bon)
We shake some things (Okay)
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (C'est bon)
We move some things (C'est bon)
We shake some things (Okay)
[Verse 2]
I just quit my job
And I ain't got money saved up
Without an apartment
This could be the hardest
Winter that I ever faced off
I ain't in a coffin
Even if I'm coughing
Blood I ain't budgin' my dog
I ain't gotta budget my dog
That ain't budging me
I'm a thoroughbred warrior
From uptown to Astoria
I network like Obi-Wan
So can't no-one slow me down
And I'm golden pound for pound
Huh Ronin hold me down
We from out of town
We don't settle down
Oh so often
[Chorus]
Either way the way the world goes round
Funny how it all falls down
Okay
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (C'est bon)
We move some things (C'est bon)
We shake some things (Okay)
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (C'est bon)
We move some things (C'est bon)
We shake some things
[Verse 3]
I just quit my job
And I ain't got money saved up
But now I own my days
And now I own my way
And now I own my oh
I'd rather be hungry
Than have a hungry soul
I'll take the coldest floor
In the palace of my passion
Over distributed rations
From a man who doesn't care
And we're barely getting air
I just quit my job
Now I'm doing my job
Yeah
[Chorus]
I hate the way the world goes round
Funny how it all falls down
Okay
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (Sebo)
We move some things (Sebo)
We shake some things (Okay)
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (Sebo)
We move some things (Sebo)
We shake some things (Okay)
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (Sebo)
We move some things (Sebo)
We change some things (Okay)
When we gets rough (Okay)
The weekend comes (Sebo)
We move some things (Sebo)
We shake some things
Shake something
[Outro]
I just quit my job
I just quit my job
I was getting robbed
I was getting robbed
By that nine to five
Feeling something die
I ain't got the time
I ain't got the dime
