Take it or leave it Be mindful, my feelings are on the table now I’m trying this new thing Where I say what I’m meaning Please don’t shut me out We can have a conversation Maybe you’ll go first I know sometimes I keep you waiting When I can’t find the words I know that you are always patient When I’m up inside my head I wanna thank you, and remind you that What you’re seeing is what you get What I’m saying is what I meant Said you wanted all of me Well this is all of me; What I’m feeling is what I feel Might be nervous but it’s so real Said you wanted all of me But this is all of me But this is all of me Guessing and stressing Is no longer the best thing for you and me right now I know I don’t like games, so I need to just refrain and really let it out You know I’m opinionated My feelings I won’t hide I love the way you make me laugh, make me smile But I get serious sometimes I know it can be complicated And it’s not just in my head I wanna thank you, and remind you that What you’re seeing is what you get What I’m saying is what I meant Said you wanted all of me Well this is all of me; What I’m feeling is what I feel Might be nervous but it’s so real Said you wanted all of me But this is all of me Said you wanted all of me But this is all of me Said you wanted all of me So I’ll give you all of me And I know I’ve taken my time But you’ve given me all I need So I’mma be straight this time Cause I know you belong with me And I can’t read your mind So just tell me honestly~ If you’re with me can you accept I’ve been hurt before, that’s why I protect These parts of myself that I’ll give to you I want you to trust me with your heart too What I’m feeling is what I feel Might be nervous but it’s so real Said you wanted all of me I’m giving you all of me Said you wanted~ Take it or leave it Be mindful, my feelings are on the table now I’m trying this new thing Where I say what I’m meaning Please don’t shut me out

Relax and put the homie on Obi Wan on your Cineplex-Odeon Wise thoughts and the sound surrounds you Big roundhouse got em going down In Round 2 The underdog boxer I am Doug Flutie I’m the movie Rudy Cheer for yours truly Beauty, but a beast Hero like I’m Hawkeye Animated when I flex; Popeye But stop by I’m the same one offline Why I gotta drip When the game so Chalk dry? Watch mine Every verse is a blockbuster Leave em all long gone Like a Blockbuster Like a crop duster Dropping hot mustard This is my confession Y’all are not Usher Thousand ft from stardom like the doc They don’t love the work They just really like to talk And take shots With the lighting and the props So it looks like they made it I think they lost the plot Take Two Making hearts break since Darth Vader Crazy as Sharknado My heart’s been brave Since Garth and Wayne The sharpest blade Jurassic bars They carbon-dated — No one day of training y’all Like a week with Alonzo Chasin’ PCP with a strongbow You boxing fiends While I’m watching you Eating a combo That’s how hard the beat in this song go King Kong, now look They wanna say they life like a Marvel Shame I’m artful Same as Kerry James Marshall And yes I’m in every way partial Black royalty Like that Megan dame Markle Better yet, this Wakanda Rom-com to drama, I defy genre And the vibe live at the concert JUMP No front It’s just me when I stunt Take Two

Hard times come again I didn’t want to listen That fear like a breath Cash your words like a cheque And you took me, said you missed me Had I really been gone that long I was flippant you can’t be missing Something you don’t want Felt your fire, took my cover, you were never gonna let up Here they come Hard times come again I was hoping you would know it Saw your text but I ignored it Knew some girls who could’ve shouldered The weight better than I did I was hoping you would know it there’s a limit to your showing It’s a cycle, I’ve been growing And it’s and it’s just those Hard times come again Hard times come again I didn’t want to listen That fear like a breath Cash your words like a paycheque

about

After an extended hiatus from releasing music, Paul Chin returns with his farthest reaching and most sonically ambitious project to date. Full Spectrum is a twenty-minute gaze into the musical fascinations and influences that have made him the artist he is today, with assists from an all-star cast of features. Chin deftly folds anime scores, dancehall, orchestral soul, hip-hop, and electronica into his sound, architecting a rich foundation for the likes of CBC Searchlight winner Desirée Dawson and Polaris Music Prize nominee Shad to deliver effortlessly killer performances which confirm Paul's reputation as a captain of musical voyaging.

Paul Chin has risen from a pedigree of classical training, to discovering bedroom production; then years of releasing music as a beatmaker's beatmaker; followed by almost a half-decade of inwardly-focused musical exploration, practice, and collaboration. The Toronto artist's return to the market – while easy to be apprehensive about – begins a new chapter marked by this joyous and confident reflection of his vast musical vocabulary, and adoration for the artform as an electronic artist.
