about

Following the warmth of The Sunshine, Amerigo Gazaway & Satoru return with The Storm — a meditation on hardship, resilience, and renewal. From the internal conflict of The Battle to the weary reflection of Down on My Luck, these songs trace a journey through struggle, perseverance, and growth. Dark Clouds reflects on corruption, paranoia, and the shifting state of the world, while Keep Trying carries the grit and determination to push forward and hold on to hope. Culminating in the title track — a letter written across generations — The Storm confronts the darkness while continuing to search for light beyond the clouds.

For my mother, my daughter, and for anyone weathering their own storm.

lyrics

[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
We've been hustling from the start working multiple jobs
And dealing with with what life throws at you I know it’s been hard 
See they don’t see the constant struggle that we going through dawg 
'Cause every social post you see on up on your phone’s a facade
Seems like most of the time, people going though life 
With no problems, but you don’t know they been going though, right? 
Could be an illness in the family, or the death of friend 
They could be dealing with addiction or relapsing again
That’s why it’s good to check in, every now every now and then 
Call em up like, 'sup, what’s good homie? How you been?
How’s your Moms doin? How’s your wife doin? How’s your kid?
I seen those pictures that you posted, damn she’s gettin big 
Some people hide and pretend, that they ain’t hurting inside
You never know what's going on in someone's personal life
And they might not pick up the phone, but it don't hurt to try 
And it’s all good if you just need to take some personal time 
because

[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Yeah I know it's been hard
Trying to pick up all the pieces, I don't know where to start
And I know it's been hard
Trying to make it through The Storm and mend this hole in my heart

[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Girl I know that it’s been hard
Things been hectic at your job and you've been workin overtime 
Taking trips on the weekend just to visit your Moms
Because one day you're here (and then your gone) 
Now pardon me if I start crying I get real in these songs 
People contemplating suicide and killing themselves 
Have you ever felt so hungry you willing to rob 
willing to cross lines you were formally unwilling to cross?
'Cause when your back's against wall, and you're trying to survive 
The only thing that you can think bout is how to stay alive 
It’s a defense mechanism that we use to get to by 
You never know what someone’s truly going through in their life
So don’t be b so quick to judge, and jump to conclusions 
Try gaslight folks and tell them that they’re dilusioned
Cuz e everybody going through it, tying to cope with it all
And you don't need to tell me twice, 'cause I know it's been hard

[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Yeah I know it's been hard
Trying to pick up all the pieces, I don't know where to start
And I know it's been hard
Trying to make it through The Storm and mend this hole in my heart
