"Birthday (feat. Questt)" is the seventh song that I've worked on with AVLI Music, a music producer based in Reseda, CA. It was the final song we worked on for this EP.
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Reuben Walton: Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Verse 1:
The spirit of the universe took you away from your friends
took you away from your mother, the pain feels like it won't end
and it takes so long to recover, oh no it's startin' again
keep thinkin' over and over, I've lost my very best friend
Keep you alive in my memory, memory
Keep you alive in my memory, you and me
Keep you alive in my memory, memory
Baby to me you were everything, everything
Chorus:
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Verse 2:
Questt: It’s Friday night and I been waitin’ for this shit all week/
workin’ 9 to 5 I swear to God I never get no sleep/
gotta do it ‘cause you know a nigga isn’t livin’ cheap/
thotties try to get my Gualla fall asleep on silky sheets/
I just leave ‘em in the suites,
Q and RW: I don’t need to get too deep/
Q: Talkin’ all “I love you” shit, all I know is
Q and RW: Talk is cheap/
Q: I escape up to the hills, like thank God I got a Jeep/
I don’t care about no drama ‘cause that beef is what I eat/
you can find me at a popup/
free all my niggas locked up/
we used to tear the block up we can kick it like some soccer/
now bitches wanna play Doctor I’m cookin’ like Betty Crocker/
I swear I was born a monster or somethin’ just being honest/
I’m earning nothing was promised I’m hotter than the month of August/
I’m workin’ on bein’ more modest, but right now my ego the largest/
I’m workin’ wit artists, we finally makin’ them hits/
hearin’ your songs when I start up the whip and I’m chillin’ with crew when I’m smokin’ them zips/
Chorus:
RW: Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really care what you say
Bitch I’m goin’ in, it’s my birthday
And I don’t really do what you say

This is my self-titled EP containing seven tracks I worked on with AVLI Music, a music producer based in Reseda, CA, who I met in 2015 at the ASCAP I Create Music EXPO at the Loew's Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. There are also musical and lyrical contributions from Jordan Siwek and Maryland upcoming rapper Questt. Creating this EP has been a labor of love and I'm so happy to see it finally come to fruition after almost four years. The EP is a raw emotional journey through personal songs, vibey tracks and danceable midtempos. It was mastered by Erick Labson at United Recording Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
