Welcome everyone My name is Ronan but you can call me Ron Solo And this right here is where it all starts See, I don’t even know what’s coming yet But it has to, House Of Solomon At my grandparent’s house rambling Out in Asheville, damn this shit feel like a mansion They can’t even afford this, crib so gorgeous and it ain’t even mortgaged They ain’t poor or rich, they just happened to score Been in that second floor loft fore my first performance I turned it to the studio, this is for the lore And I’m sleeping on the mattress, covers with the floral prints Dreaming of the past, but you gotta know the story Thanksgiving living, get a taste of that apple pie Every year I’m closer to the things I used to fantasize Momma should inherit the crib, I told her imma buy it Just keep that shit inside the family, my ride or dies No Rolex, Timex, Ro already timeless I woke up from the morning blinds, I’m reminded Before the sun rises, that shit was still shining I been a star fore I breached your horizon Samples in all the beats, that postmodern pastiche I’m busy pollinating these may flowers for all of the bees Come what may, and they may be coming for me So when that month of May comes, wait for my release 
You see the name, what does it say You say the name, what does it mean? What’s in the name? Let me explain Hold me to it, I got promises to make New family heirlooms, heirlooms New family heirlooms, heirlooms Grandma does painting, tapestries by the greatest Grandpa did the same thing, actually created Originals of value, ones you can’t measure These are authentic one of a kind treasures Lining the walls, decor that cannot be bought  Imagine my own collection and the beauty of it all I wanna know when they finally let me be a genius And innovate every wave with my own uniqueness Then pass it down to my future so they can keep this Or make a museum for the culture, let em teach this Jewelry and rings, art, trinkets, and beautiful things Lot of silver, gold, platinum plaques, that’s fit for a king I’m tryna build my own Solomon dynasty,  Oldest child, first in line, nobody high as me But Galen, Tristan still staying right beside of me And for my lineage, embarking on a odyssey I gotta make it for the fam I haven’t made yet Keeping it to myself just never made sense Whatever stories I create, I gotta save this We bringing all the glory home for the banquets 
You see the name, what does it say You say the name, what does it mean? What’s in the name? Let me explain Hold me to it, I got promises to make New family heirlooms, heirlooms New family heirlooms, heirlooms Since I could walk, man I always been a artist Since I could talk, I was always tryna start shit I know it ain't '09 no more, but I’m so good That you could hang my preschool pieces in the Moma Right now they somewhere locked up inside a storage bin Those dates at the top of every page feel foreign They so far away, that’s a couple thousand mornings Before I ever had a dream about recording
 I was that young boy with Anastasia Jann, Emma Flann' Jaiden man, they my day one day ones, y’all was never that They used to say me and Gus looked like blood brothers Still remember that brick house like I come from it Burned out along Larrabee, far from an anomaly Inner child inside of me, unlocking the prodigy Falling into laziness, an endless pit of anguish I had to throw my hand out to grab onto his ankles My purest self saved me, now I’m beyond grateful I’m only 19, and this is my first tape, well Made it all myself, no one else was there to help So if you love it I’m the only one to thank And if you hate it I’m the only one to blame, okay Cause I know that imma be the fucking greatest in the game If you don’t believe me when I say it now, just wait All I need is time and the money and the stages And hit it so big that I’m clearing out the bases Imagine coming home again after you make it Dawg, just to see the looks on all their faces So for that reunion at Payton, I’m waiting Set the date bitch, it’s RoNation 
You see the name, what does it say You say the name, what does it mean? What’s in the name? Let me explain Hold me to it, I got promises to make New family heirlooms, heirlooms New family heirlooms, heirlooms

In Your Hair 05:19
Oh I’m, oh I’m In your hair, I know You cut it off when it’s so far gone You change it up when it’s been too long You lost track of yourself, but I see you View that girl how I do, if she knew You’re tangled up in what you can’t control No mirror to show that same bandaged soul The tears fall the same when you’re all alone Healing appears when the appeal is gone But you going blonde, say you having more fun While you just doing damage in the long run End up where you started when it’s all done But it doesn’t matter now, to anyone Cause they notice you, you’re too fine You can flip perceptions on your mood time The first to go, the first to renew its growth Back to your roots, the first to return home Ooh I’m, oh I’m In your hair, in your hair In your hair, in your hair In your hair, and I know It flows down past your shoulders You let it grow to honor getting older Picture running hands through it softly Silky, smooth, still as falling water Through right and wrong, Frank Lloyd with the famous house Wanna comb through it, get it straightened out Hate to see us waste this, but I’ll wait around I know that you hurting, but I can’t save it now, man Lovely lady, look like Sloane but you the fairest Got me spinning like the wheel up at Navy Pier Read you like a book, flipping through your pages Carrying a sacred story of your many years Sharing with Atlas, weight off of your back at last So love yourself, let your image match it after that Release your burdens, be free in your purpose That change won’t come cheap, but you deserve it Oh I’m, oh I’m In your hair, in your hair In your hair, in your hair In your hair, I know Deep in thought, so it’s not too much talking Put on a facade that’s just blocking something softer You feel emotions deeper so they hit you way harder And after this I might just hit a barber and restart it So I can’t even blame you for tryna swap something I was too afraid to try when I thought I was above it I know I’m not free from ideology hypocrisy I’m just a boy after all, constantly evolving, see I got me a saving complex, cannot stop dropping these Garden seeds, grains of sand running past palm’s reach To an hourglass drain running out, falling deep This is Sisyphan struggle, roll the boulder up the hill And he smiling fore it falls, even though he knows it will Wish I didn’t feel like a failure to help was a fail to fulfill Tryna fix someone else so I don’t really have to heal, damn Ooh, ooh In your hair, in your hair In your hair, in your hair In your hair You can’t forgive yourself You wish you would change You think you’ll feel different But you’re still the same Cause you’re so afraid You just wanna feel brand new A whole different person But you wouldn’t be you

Solace 05:44
Visiting home for the holidays, thinking differently Bedroom of my childhood been imprisoning me This time place, my mind state start regressing quickly These days this windy city getting frigid to me Blowing smoke, in below freezing, my breath visi’ Wasteland full of skeletons, see death in it Walk in the park every evening, get clear headed It’s dark out so early now, you know what it is I’m up over the bridge, water under it'd be so frozen Even though it’s road, these cars keep coming and going And what are their stories? How we used to ponder But I’ll never know em, stuck in the sonder Searching for solace For light in the solstice Staring back into the darkness Call out to radio silence That winter day was where it all started  I became hardened, still ain’t heartless Tell me this ain’t what you really wanted I’m past bitter, but I stayed honest Cause you were my solace And now I’m my solace I looked within and I found it Solitude not always melancholic Cause I’m so above it Can’t believe the feeling I discovered new ways of living Artistry will be my truest healing I’m so forgiving, you’re forgiven Not an enemy, never were a villain Hurt people making more victims Inside myself, it was so revealing Growing mature really go the distance This melody is a saving grace This empathy is my strongest trait This energy has been long awaited If you make it, I’ll still be waiting Only if you’re brave enough to face it So keep the truth on your face Now tell me, how have you changed? You said I’m so many things Now I’m everything Searching for solace For light in the solstice Staring back into the darkness Call out to radio silence That winter day was where it all started  I became hardened, still ain’t heartless Tell me this ain’t what you really wanted I’m past bitter, but I stayed honest The wind is harsh, the winter’s dark The wind is harsh, the winter’s dark Brought myself out in that blizzard While my family sleeping, mist is frigid That night I left late, never revealed it I’m not thinking, too numb to feel it Traced the glass, and that wet my hands Face is rosy, now they turning pink Fire dragons, I still see the heat I don’t wanna die, so just let me freeze And I can shine like Jack, it’s below degrees I don’t know, just hope they notice me But the lamp pole is the single light I cast a long shadow, only one in sight Stand in fresh snowfall, it's pearly white Like, that beauty was just too much For the love of God, let me give it up Guide me back out of what I’ve done And help me find my way back home Follow these sounds as they echo I’m so alone, out here on my own But they don’t need to know No fear in the face of danger Catharsis called me by a force of nature This lowest moment is a stepping stone Pray I’m forgiven for letting go, at least almost Those harsh winds, that dark winter Nearly turned the boy to a sinner I just need to feel alive again Please, let me feel alive again Shed a tear when I look at the sky and it's mine again

Oh yeah, oh yeah And...now Uh huh This that shit man Y'all ain't ready for this 
I’m tryna get my Seroronan up  Sun coming out from the clouds, that mean we going up Skin need vitamins, breathe, drink your hydrogen Had to go outside to see I wanna be alive again Time to shine, extra bright, look how bright it is Life is dressed in gold like I’m Midas kissed Finished being stuck inside my head, said I’m going out So right now, I don’t got a lot to worry about They say that April showers bring May flowers I guess in this case, they also brought a album Call it therapy on wax, know a lot of people doubt it No joke, don’t know where the fuck I’d be without it We might have grown apart, but at the end of the day  We held hearts, when the deck dug us up with a spade Grew from the same earth and bathed in the same pain We already share roots no matter how we became so All those days in the rain We spent praying for spring Growing up, out, in the wild Green again, we are the flowers Spent my whole life paving the way Took the path of the oldest child Firstborn, boy I’m flowing now
 Ro is baby Moses floating down the Nile I found my Rosebud, that’s the inner child So don’t be acting like I’m so different now I grew up and I glewed up, but I’m still me With my old dawgs in the same fucking streets Since linkin at Oz, we been up in the trees So imma branch out where you never could reach Producing, singing and rapping Making movies and acting, designer fashion My bruddas know me, it has to happen Cameras flashing, I’m hitting bitches with the wrist-a-band So passionate, I need a world tour with a minivan Just wait till I hit a rack like I’m in Iran, I mean Iran Inshallah, Ron Solo will never be crossed Like smoking and drinking at once, but that’s haram Saying as-salamu alaykum, wa alaykumu s-salam Never been to Synagogue, haven’t prayed in so long But stages was my destiny to be on, say and Solange Built myself a different state of mind, see it in my eyes Gemini at war, I plead with both of my sides Sitting in the pavilion, searched for signs way in the sky Buildings lit up in my name, the time is mine And the shirt is Basquiat, my word is caveat When I made this song I stepped back and felt like I’m a God This is my Bottle Rocket, just wait until I set it off Once I get enough, I can make my Royal Tenenbaums Cause all of y’all been sleeping, lemme wake you up I know the day to meet the soil comes for all of us All those days in the rain We spent praying for spring Growing up, out, in the wild Green again, we are the flowers Spent my whole life paving the way This is the path of the oldest child Cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she’s gone Winter’s frost has come to melt Water’s wake lifts the flowers up from frozen hell Walking through a field I thought I know so well Well, this was once a garden, it outgrew itself Blessed with a white dress and a wreath crown And you don’t know where you’ll always be found At the end of endless hallways in my dreams Your petals all over decorate the ground Maybe you were made to rule the spring  Light your temple on fire just to feel the heat Your blood swimming with toxins I don’t know they got into your veins But I heard em say our lady’s tears were not in vain Mascara streaming down the cheeks of such a pretty face Hear the the bells of May as they ring your name And they say Come into bloom Come into bloom Come into bloom We’re born anew Come into bloom Come into bloom Come into bloom We’re born anew Come into bloom Come into bloom We're born anew We're born anew So come into bloom Come into bloom

Another long ass song man This is a tale of two 19’s, so Bear with me Alright My memories are my legacy I’m calling out to them endlessly I just wanna know that they hear me, yeah I just wanna know that they hear me I can only see you when I’m fast asleep These restless dreams are so hard to reach I just wanna know if they feel me, yeah I just wanna know if they feel me We’re older than we’ve ever been We’re younger than we’ll ever be But look what we already done Just look what we already done Run it back, summer '19, that’s my dream Age 16, floor 13, it was everything I had found my people and my peace I’m still working on the time machine At Lincoln Center, sitting on the edge Water jumping out the fountainhead I got my head up in the clouds With my feet down on the ground And the people getting loud But by now we drown it out Good morning, I could scream it You know it’s my season Rise and shine, shit is beaming New York City streets is heated Only shop in SoHo, I do not trust no hoe Hannah call me Ro though, and I’m rockin polo I got on the same shades, Lennon frames And the bucket hat, cause it’s 80 on a sunny day
 See myself changing, and it’s amazing I don’t know what awaits, so I’m meditating Before my worst days when I became complacent I looked at her face and saw adoration Like Zak and Lank window gazing at all the cars Singing lullabies at stars when we in the dark Then wake up sleep deprived, well fuck it, we alive Feeling high, me and her, it’s only she and I Little sugar vibe with my orange soda Pink and orange moments, Dunkin Donuts
 Breathe this shit in deep, it’s hella sweet Leave it in the melodies, glow so heavenly On the harbor, dawg, I thought I glimpsed God Burning sky, sunset sending us fireballs I think this ship is going down with us Breathe the minute in, then we drown in it Caught up in the rain, running holding hands When we made it back, finally made the plans In elevator at last, had to wait to ask First date, final day, took her that Shake Shack We arranged it, now we embracing For the evening, then for the season Guaranteed, these feelings deepened Till the stage of “what are we?” friends Lovers since we were a little younger What enchantment did she put me under Felt like a spell of cinematic wonder Once upon a time, mid summer Hey vlog, this is my bestie Bia (Ayy…let me throw it at you Kendall) Oh…got it…ohhh shit ayy! This is Ronan, he’s kind of like a gangster man (he’s a gangsta) This is Zak, he’s my favorite person (hi…teddy bear…I love Zak) Here’s Abby, she’s my roommate (hi…besties) This is Hannah, she’s gorgeous, oh my God This is Kate, and she dropped it down on the dance floor!

I love y'all My memories are my legacy I’m calling out to them endlessly I just wanna know that they hear me, yeah I just wanna know that they hear me I can only see you when I’m fast asleep These restless dreams are so hard to reach I just wanna know that they feel me, yeah I just wanna know if they feel me We’re older than we’ve ever been We’re younger than we’ll ever be But look what we already done Just look what we already done Summer '22, I turned 19, but my mind’s older Beat forces that I grew outta but I’m still rockin Every time I see the fam, they saying I got taller Grow longer, more I only seem to feel smaller Coming home, tryna come up for new air to breathe Been underwater, feeling so repressed Free falling, need therapy, but who’s there for me? The same friends, yeah we had class Can’t escape the past, but the present passing One last fore we all leave we them fall leaves We drinking, smoking, laughing, joking, on me Most important, stopped recording, now I live in moments Girls I used to wanna kiss is like “we missed you Ronan” They say I changed in good ways, that I’m different now And I missed em too, but don’t know how to feel about it This shit for the middle of June, when it glitter out Birthday last a week long, Mr. Geminow, and owww Lakefront smelling loud, when it’s green outside Down at the ledge, I’m reflecting at the golden hour Lake Shore Drive on the way to Ryan’s, boy I know the route Blankets in the basement, crashing on the couch Some things never change, since ’17 it’s been the same Still plotting, scheming, talking, dreaming, all evening What we tryna achieve and stay up late playing games Just contemplating how we gonna make it, we will together Number one, my fucking brother, best man forever Uptown wilding, or we downtown downing long islands Getting high as fuck at Cheesecake, or the aquarium We seeing things, we going green, it’s getting scary Thought we’d die inside, then they’d have to bury us That jane had Bea hawkin, I had to carry her Fam treat me like I’m their son, reconnected Ex girl turned lesbian turned best friend, so impressive Took me to Buddhist temple, I’m catching the blessings And still got fired on the same day, that made me humble So we outside, this ain’t the time to stay indoors It’s a lot of ways you could make the same cookie crumble Hit Pitchfork, it’s foreshadowing lists for em Like Jameson in the basement with the techno Wyatt sailing Lake Michigan with the lil boat Ethan whipping the beamer, let it go topless That boy Foxy, Ella still getting real saucy Marshall cooking real sauce, shit is so Italian Always loved my neighbors, shoutout to Natalia Getting faded, then we visit places that we really loved Just kicking round, turn a big city to a little one Something lost and something found in the middle of Chi Town in the summertime, never give it up, live it up My memories are my legacy I’m calling out to them endlessly I just wanna know that they hear me, yeah I just wanna know that they hear me I can only see you when I’m fast asleep These restless dreams are so hard to reach I just wanna know if they feel me, yeah I just wanna know if they feel me We’re older than we’ve ever been We’re younger than we’ll ever be But look what we already done Just look what we already done It was all we needed I can see your faces It was all we needed I can still see your faces A myth of my own Baby you’re a myth of my own A myth of my own It was all a myth of my own A myth of my own This is mine alone

I write this to you I write this to you Laid back sippin summer wine Summer wine, summer wine We’ll be fine, getting right Sip it nice, taste just like (Like) Sweet syrup moments, moving slow as molasses That can’t be manufactured and sold to the masses Free the nostalgia slaves, you should own your masters Don’t wait and let it stall ya, grab it as it passes Still writing my story, indefinite ink left Never expected the characters, it’s been Lot of culture in knowing, that shit is a privilege Lot of water below me, even more bridges Everything connected, this shit is all related Butterfly effects twisting the timeline crazy It happened, it’s wrapped, and I can’t change it What a beautiful day to make my fate then Forgive and let it live, cause it’s over now It’s still a part of you, you gotta own it now Giving and receiving, living and breathing I’m coming in the same way I’m going out (Golden child) Loving and losing still better than having less Every lesson is a blessing that’s in the form of a test The future is limitless, while the present is a gift Still have regrets over shit I said and did But I couldn’t make it here without being where I been Cause everything I was made me everything I am This is for myself, for my friends, for the fam This is for the fans, fore the fans, for the past (Woo) The secret history, still keeping my mysteries Love letter delivery signed with sincerity My piece of mind lies hidden inside this piece of me So I’m finally mine at last, acceptance set me free (So long) It’s been a long time (So long, so long) Been such a long time (So long) It’s been a long time Been such a long time (So long) I write this to you (So long) I write this to you (So long for now) I just had some stories to tell Forever yours, Ronan (How often you gonna see now?) (Truly what you cease to be) (Will you adjust your scenery
) (Well you find time, don’t you) (For the lore) (Keep it rational) (Keep it rational) (There’s no fountain) (Feel it in my bones) (Feel it in my bones)
