Verse 1
 He said, "I hope this letter finds you well I recently got a job at Sasktel" I remember he used to keep bees in the backyard A couple students acting hard I moved to Edmonton, Alberta Now it’s been about 12 years after the turn of the century If we want to take this back in time I went to Pearson Elementary I can see my wood pile over there as the sun comes up over the trees and the leaves I can see the door to my garage And all the empty recycle bins "A little indecisive" I said “Just cut my hair just like Cobain" They want to know if I’ve ever been to a trap That’s the last time I seen Jeremy to be exact Chorus Chickpeas Rick Steves’ Europe through the back door I was a young man protesting the Iraq war Down the aisles of the coffee store And the Roots’ Do You Want More?!!!??! The Christmas lights are shining so bright I don’t know where we’re going tonight Please exercise patience for my flaws And watch these rhymes take flight Verse 2 The retirement show packed and the whole city had my back Chaz passed away Took my breath away This retirement is beautiful So I’m looking for some new things to do today Shovel the walk when it snows In the summertime the grass grows Shovel the walk I put on my old clothes Time keeps on slippin' MC J and Cool G, So Listen I made a decision I did anything a friend would do and drove her to that appointment We’re at the Lebanese Tim Hortons Plotting a rap bounce back When I go to the government building today, think of how I think different 
10 years a humpty's cook I got the old man look out of the fuckin' handbook Chorus Chickpeas Rick Steves’ Europe through the back door I was a young man protesting the Iraq war
 Down the aisles of the coffee store And the Roots’ Do You Want More?!!!??! The Christmas lights are shining so bright I don’t know where we’re going tonight Please exercise patience for my flaws And watch these rhymes take flight

about

After living in the inner city for most of his life, Epic retired from his career and moved away from the centre of the city, a change that provided some unexpected time to take a look back at his life and the little details that define who we are. The inspiration was unexpected and Epic soon discovered that Northside life was in sharp contrast to life in the decaying Edmonton centre. Surprisingly, the shining Christmas lights on the many neighbourhood bungalows were most noticeable. With a beat from Deadly Stare (Triune Gods, Endemik Music) that underscore life’s rhythms and precious moments, “Chickpeas” invites us warmly into Epic’s world.
