[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
Isn't it an irony?
The things that inspire me
They make me bleed
So profusely
I got everything I need
Time and space to think and breathe
What does it mean
When cash grows on trees?

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Exist in superposition
Life's all about contradiction
Yin and yang
Fluidity and things
I'm me, I'm God
I'm everything
I'm my own reason why I sing
And so are you, are you understanding?

[Bridge: Daniel Caesar]
Whoa

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
I know you think this shit is easy
For you, but not so much for me
But I'll still ride, that's just the risk I'll take
I know you see me actin' sleazy
I'm working on it, take it easy
I'll figure it all out before I break
If I should die before I wake
Oh, please, do not resuscitate
I know I didn't live my life in vain
This music shit's a piece of cake
The rest of my life's in a state of chaos
But I know I'll be okay

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Exist in superposition
Life's all about contradiction
Yin and yang
Fluidity, and things
I'm me, I'm God
I'm everything
I'm my own reason why I sing
And so are you, are you understanding?

The world has come to understand R&B/Soul music as a multi-faceted genre that transcends soundwaves into the inner core of our existence — a genre that makes listeners feel, rather than just hear. For Toronto native, Ashton Simmonds, who performs under the stage name, Daniel Caesar (born April 5, 1995), the R&B/Soul genre serves as a skeleton to which he builds up with jarring gospel undertones, heart-tugging guitar chords, and soothing harmonious vocals.

His sophomore effort, Praise Break, successfully captured the attention of many major publications and outlets and was ranked 19th in the 20 Best R&B Albums of 2014 by Rolling Stone Magazine. Caesar’s follow-up project, Pilgrim’s Paradise, was met with even greater praise, subsequently capturing the attention of both the Canadian and international music markets.

On August 25, 2017, Daniel released his debut album, Freudian, which followed the release of “We Find Love” and “Blessed,” and contains hit songs, “Best Part” and “Get You.” In 2018, Freudian was nominated for Best R&B Album at the Grammys.
