Outro Lyrics

Class of 2020, where you at?

We made it

I want to use this last track to shout out everybody who made an impact on my college life and experiences whether that was big or small

Starting with my big sister, Marilyn Barnes

Who showed me the ropes my Freshman year

I love you

And my friends, Gloria Ponce and Juan Soto

Who came with me from Chicago Bulls College Prep

My new friends, Aby Romo, Gao Yee Yang, Tresa James

Leah Rymer, Judith Espinoza

Fernando Guerrero

Bob, also known as Tuan Nguyen, and Q

Arsalan, I remember you went to see "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2" with us

I want to shout out my advisor Sherwood Kiraly

My Professors, including my minor advisor, Emily Anderson

The English Department Head during my time at Knox, Monica Berlin (R.I.P.)

Chad Simpson, Rob Smith

And Lucas Wood, my Voice Class professor

I also want to shout out my TRIO fam

Including my TRIO advisor, Risa Lopez

Laura Bush, and Charles Gomez (R.I.P.)

And all my TRIO peers

I want to shout out my mailroom boss, Sherrill Zaric

And all my mailroom friends, Sonam Tsering

Kobe Carreno and Briana Quintana-Barajas

(Congratulations to you two on getting engaged, by the way)

Chuy Flores, Kenna Bell, Bill Tate, Bryan Diaz

Jacqui Tousley, Karina Khanna, Nelson Zhong, and Gavin Douglas

I also want to shout out Bren Tooley for helping me get to Italy for study abroad

That was a great experience, one of the best in my entire life

I also want to shout out everybody that participated in I-Fair with me the two times I did it

Rafael Cho, Milo Camaya, and James Stratton

Who recorded a few of my songs while I was at school

And of course, everybody who was in any way a part of the making of this album

Including Jeremiah Horton, who was gracious enough to do a feature as Comfort Lord on "Blaze"

Shebaz Chowdhury (R.I.P.)

He produced the intro track

My cousin, Jaime Meraz, who produced "Boxes"

And my other cousin, Daisy Gonzalez (R.I.P.)

For recording the original version of "Vacation" with me when I first wrote it

Eleanor Phuong, who also provided her talents on the last song I have for you after this

And, of course, to Half Note

Who helped get me through college by collaborating with me on all these songs

Sending me his beats, inspiring me with his music

For real though, like, thank you

Thank you all!

Now go out and spread your light in the world!

(Peace, I love you!)
