A rap verse I wrote that was almost completely written/constructed in the shower for around 30 minutes. This is was my first indication of my writing style changing to a more wordplay driven style as well as writing on first try lyrics that were closer to telling my truth, without much reservation of its acceptance to outside opinion. I called it NuThoughts to reflect that new step in my writing journey, as well to reference the beat I was creating it to, "NEW THOUGHTS ≡BEATSWITCHES≡ by DXEM". Every day I work to write at least one verse a day to keep my skills sharp, to have fun, or just express myself for the day. Thus, this was my daily verse for that day. I attend to write a full song to the full instrumental, but this piece resonated with me so much, I didn't wish for it to be enjoyed solely by me. Rest in Paradise to my Aunt Joyce who never heard my music, I hope I make you proud, I miss you.

You're as free as the mind you keep

New thoughts come about when surpassing peaks

New goal for myself is to master peace

I'm a work in progress yet a masterpiece

Trade wasting my time for taking my time

Used to walk solo(w), now I walk with my pride

Growing grateful for moments I been granted thus far

Not where I wanna be, but I've come this far

Thinking on what could've been, I gotta rejoice

Still hurts my heart to remember Aunt Joyce

Learning you died had me drowning in tears

The last time we talked our connection was clear
