about

Temple to Castle is about my journey of how I had to turn my body from a temple to a castle to face Addison's Disease over the last year. It doubles as an energetic workout song that I can use to rebuild my physical health with the right treatment and a song to raise awareness about Addison's Disease, as approximately only 1 in 100,000 are diagnosed.

Taking care of my physical health became my priority for 2020 and when Nate Smith sent me this beat, I knew exactly what I had to say on this song. Even if you cannot directly relate to experiencing the symptoms of Addison's, I am hoping this song does motivate you to keep pushing and taking care of your physical health, so you can allow all other aspects of you to thrive on this foundation.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I strike confusion when I first begin
Inject you with random symptoms like darkening your skin
Now you don’t remember the last time you feast
Your appetite got KO’d by yours truly, what a defeat
Them doctors are a fool for thinking I’m diabetes
Or anemia? Come on, that’s way too easy
I see them send you home without mentioning my name
Oh, my bad, let me give you some abdominal pain
Let me tear apart your muscles, no more time to heal
Got you jacked up on these meds, now how does it feel?
This ain’t multiple sclerosis, double check the bill
My name is Addison y’all, what’s the deal?

[Verse 2]
It’s war! Imma be fighting this battle til I hit the floor
You be the one who be taking the punches as I strip away your core
These meds be making me wired, giving me fuel to take you on more
This is the mind of the soldier not taking an L when walking out the door
Who’s keeping score? Body was a temple before you washed ashore
Before you drained me of my energy, leaving me gasping on all fours
You took this body as yours and ravaged it, made it all war-torn
So I swore to channel the power of Thor, reclaim what’s mine once more
Ah! My body became a weapon I had to train
When I learned taking care of my health is what keeps me sane
It all starts with my frame to ease the chaos in my brain
This truth hits harder when it’s no longer me who’s holding onto the reins
So another rep, repeat this set, I cannot leave without a sweat
Another sec, with no regret, come face to face with this threat
I cannot let, Addison get, the best of me in this mindset
So better yet, while I’m vexed, this my chant before I rest

[Chorus]
Walk up to the mirror ready to fight a battle
It’s a warzone here, no time for chatter
My body was a temple, let me make it a castle
Imma show this disease who is the master
I declare war (let’s fight the battle)
I declare war (no time for chatter)
I declare war (make my body a castle)
I declare war (tell me who’s the master)

[Verse 3]
Reload! Not even sure if I’ll make it to the end of this road
Every progression I seem to make, you show no signs of being slowed
Frustration is what I unload, yet my strength is what you erode
If we fight till we explode, I’d rather know I put up a good show
Whether it’s my reflection or to switch up the flow
It’s too easy to lose my focus when I face these crossroads
So I feed my soul through the fortification of my humble abode
Through any means necessary with the tools I’ve been bestowed
Whether it’s the reps with the metal against metal
Or it’s my body weight defying gravity’s pressure
Whether it’s my limbs or the weights that shake and rattle
Being better than yesterday is the bar I’m gonna tackle
In the face of fear, remember to flex them muscles
This the anthem for all those training for battle
Never forget that it is you who is the most powerful
There’s a warrior within that’s waiting to be channeled

[Chorus]
Walk up to the mirror ready to fight a battle
It’s a warzone here, no time for chatter
My body was a temple, let me make it a castle
Imma show this disease who is the master
I declare war (let’s fight the battle)
I declare war (no time for chatter)
I declare war (make my body a castle)
I declare war (tell me who’s the master)

[Outro]
Reload!
There’s a warrior within that’s waiting to be channeled
