Donald Baker

Some of us move through life like quiet pillars steady for everyone else, even while we’re crumbling inside. I’ve been trying to find balance in the chao, still while chasing music, keeping my people up, and still figuring out who I am in the silence. This verse I wrote for my friends song, isn’t just words, it’s me processing what it means and takes to hold it down when your own foundation feels shaky. I got NO blueprint. Just heart. Just resilience. Just real life. Just learning from my mistakes. “Every mirror that I face got me countin my flaws In the mix like a chemist, blendin chaos and calm…” If you’re out here trying to be strong for others while learning how to be strong for yourself, I want you to know you’re not alone and I feel you. Keep going please. You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful. You’re doing more than enough by showing up. D.B

I don’t want the world, I just want the one smile that makes it feel complete, yours. #missyou #wantyou #needyou

Canada. ⚖️🇨🇦 We kick off part 2 of our Scale The System Tour In less than 7 days we hit the road going from Lloydminster to Halifax! 11 shows 16 days!! Thousands of kilometres. Multiple provinces. Little sleep. Big stages. Real pressure. This is the part nobody claps for while it’s happening the driving, the loading in, the figuring it out on the fly, the pushing through exhaustion because the vision matters more than comfort. But that’s what “Scale The System” was built on. May 15th we touch down in Lloydminster and from there it’s a straight shot across the country all the way to Halifax with @dalocksmith And Special Guests @goon.town.official & @kahdyn Canada, we’re coming heavy. 🇨🇦 📍Lloydminster, AB 📍Saskatoon, SK 📍Winnipeg, MB 📍Windsor, ON 📍Toronto, ON 📍London, ON 📍Belleville, ON 📍Ottawa, ON 📍Montreal, QC 📍Fredericton, NB 📍Halifax, NS Presented by DB Presents Supported by RawWavs Shoutout to our Sponsors @sandstargraphics @sandman.does.podcasts @travelodge @green_dojo_nb @beaverbuzzenergy @blazing_chicken_shack @streetkillazent @jdubzentertainment @untouchablecru @thernrbnb @river_valley_ford @fastmoneybuckingbulls @kasie.cakes @burnaby_blacktop #scalethesystemtour #dbpresent #Locksmith #canadianhiphop

I’m at a point in life where I’m no longer bending myself into shapes just to fit other people’s expectations while they fail to meet even the bare minimum of mine. I’m respectful. I’m genuine, and if you ask me for my opinion, I’m gonna give you the truth I stand on, not the watered down version that keeps everybody comfortable. If honesty offends you, then don’t come to me looking for it!!!! FR!!! I’ve spent too much time carrying extra weight for people who refuse to carry their own. Financially, mentally, professionally, emotionally. I work waaaaaaaay too hard and sacrificed too much to keep accepting one sided relationships built on convenience instead of mutual respect. And I’ll be damned if I keep tolerating disrespect from people who allow bad habits, poor decisions, or lazy business practices to handicap themselves, then expect me to absorb the pressure that comes with it. That chapter’s closed!!! Respect has to go both ways now. Effort has to go both ways now. Accountability has to go both ways now. But I’m no longer available for imbalance disguised as friendship, business, or support. Not letting anyone rain on my parade!! #tourseason #scalethesystemtour #limitedaccess #newmusic #dbpresents
