    "Urban Retro Life (Vol. 1)" is Lei Row's 2nd mixtape ("Lei Row presents Euphoria" is her 1st mixtape). This project borrows and blends sounds and styles of hip-hop, r&b, and pop music, especially from the 90s and early 2000s. It is written, vocally arranged, and co-produced by Lei and sets the tone for how she writes and vocally arranges in her own work. On this mixtape, Lei is singing over major and independent music industry beat production and DJ woriel was behind the blending and transitions of some of the tracks. The major industry beat production that she uses are from songs: "Black Nostaljack" by Camp-Lo, "Long Kiss Goodnight" by The Notorious B.I.G., "New Slaves" by Kanye West, and "Pain" by Tupac. The independent beat production is courtesy of Kenneth "Marty McLaren" Onyeaka, Brahim "Mercutio" Derkaoui, Max Layn, Kevin "Gripp" Gripper, Dogukan "Do" Gungor, and Jason "J-Sweet" Sweeting. The subject matter in the songs range from love/companionship highs and lows to race relations, family, and messages of inspiration.

    We hope you enjoy the project!

    *Recording, Mixing, and Mastering: 78 West Productions and QD-Up Studios.

lyrics

INTRO:
On, hold on
On, hold on

1ST VERSE:
There's no way life can be easy
Just take a look at history and you will see all the
Wars and genocide, blood, sweat, tears, and suicides through the years
It's like the pattern never changes

So many mixed emotions of our people
So many unsolved issues in our homes
That we don't take the time to deal with for peace of mind
If only we could turn around the pain and make it work towards a rightful gain

Because I'm tired of the strain and the pain
Oh but it makes me who I am today, yea
Look I never wanna give up and I don't want you to give up either
I believe we all can make the best of life

CHORUS:
I know that life sometimes
Can bring more stress than what you bargain for
But just keep your faith and practice patience
Let persistence see you through

Keep on pushing
On, hold on
Keep on pushing
On, hold on

You gotta, you gotta
Keep on pushing
On, hold on
Keep on pushing

On, hold on
Yea, yea

2ND VERSE:
I might know what you're going through
'Cause I been hurt myself a time or two
When you feel there is no way no how
To bring you out of all your doubts

Fear and doubt can only hold you back in life
Hatred of any kind will never make or keep you satisfied
And yea there's no such thing as a perfect world
But you can make the best of being here

Set out to strive for more despite of

CHORUS:
I know that life sometimes
Can bring more stress than what you bargain for
But just keep your faith and practice patience
Let persistence see you through

Keep on pushing
On, hold on
Keep on pushing
On, hold on

You gotta, you gotta
Keep on pushing
On, hold on
Keep on pushing

BRIDGE:
Keep on pushing
Don't stop you can go far
Keep on don't boggle your pace
One day you can be great

OUTRO:
I know that life sometimes
Can bring more stress than what you bargain for
But just keep your faith and practice patience
Let persistence see you through
