You Can Stop Looking | YOU DID GOOD | Agassi Intime

“You Did Good” by Agassi Intime is a blues-rap song about the child still searching for approval inside the man everyone calls strong. He can be proud of who he became and still grieve what becoming him cost. For the part of you still waiting to hear it: you did good. You mattered before there was anything to prove. Who were you before you felt you had to prove your worth? From the    • 🔥 REDEMPTION, STRENGTH, & SURVIVAL 🔥   collection. ___________________________________________ Welcome to ONE CHANCE.

You can stop looking now. ________________________________________ Lyrics, concept, artist identity, emotional direction, and final creative approval: Jo Voltaire.
