“Scenic Route” is a thought-provoking anthem that challenges societal pressures, digital distractions, and the pursuit of hollow dreams. With sharp, conscious lyricism, MA Shalom examine why people often chase illusions, scams, or status symbols while ignoring the abundance of wisdom and truth freely available around them. The hook — “Even a scam artist can sell you water when the ocean is free” — serves as both a critique and a wake-up call, urging listeners to slow down, reflect, and value authentic knowledge over manufactured hype. Blending reflective rap with soulful hooks, “Scenic Route” invites a journey of self-awareness, ancestral connection, and reclaiming inner freedom — encouraging the audience to take the path of mindful living instead of chasing the ego’s race to nowhere.
