lyrics

Lookin at my life and I wasn't perfect
but through it all I can say it was worth it
I gotta say it's worth it, I gotta say it's worth it
I gotta say it's worth it........

Can't fight the feeling, gotta get up on the MIC
gonna start the healing, tell you little bout my life
born a cold night in October, 1983
I'm talkin bout Houston, Texas - that's the 713
but my heart resides right here in Arizona
cause I learned to fly right here in Arizona
gonna tap deep back into my memory banks
and to all my close friends, ima give my thanks
if it wasn't for all of you comin through with the follow through
I probably wouldn't be ballin and now the shots I be callin
see, when I was younger, I shared a room with Sean, my little brother
yah i've felt the hunger but it only made me stronger
but it's memories like this that help me keep persistin
and i'll always be resistin all the negative intentions
and i'' never be forgettin all the times cause I have written
and in-scripted every though and every feeling right here right now

Lookin at my life and I wasn't perfect
but through it all I can say it was worth it
I gotta say it's worth it, I gotta say it's worth it
I gotta say it's worth it........

In 1993 I got a microphone
I plugged it in an old guitar amp in my parents home
I ran it through my Dad's computer with Sound Blaster Pro
and made tapes in the basement with that underground flow.
I went back and forth with EQ's and compression,
doing music theory with a scientific obsession
the world went from boom to recession.
I went from bedrooms to booths and pro sessions.
Meanwhile, I went a different direction,
went from passion for the music to purpose and connection.
It's a cut throat business I've learned so many lessons...
Instead of PR tricks we're making independent hits a multi-instrumentalist.
By no means am I perfect but what's driving me is purpose.
Making movements underground and causing earthquakes on the surface.
Yeah, and I can say that it was worth it.

Lookin at my life and I wasn't perfect
but through it all I can say it was worth it
I gotta say it's worth it

about

Engineers in Your Ear Los Angeles, California

"E.Y.E brings a good times sound that can easily translate from a bouncing club to a beachside campfire. While checking out their new project Aint no Sunshine I proclaimed “that’s my favorite track” at least five times and was left with a get up and do some living feeling when it was over. This album...without the cliche quotes or any agenda besides go hard or go home." - Locash Magazine ... more
