about

We created something special somewhere in the Lofi, Jazz Boom Bap, Chill Hop, space, and in between NY and ATL. This song is a call back to some of those classic hip hop records. Artists like Mos Def, Common, and Jay Electronica come to mind for me. Real, Authentic, and meaningful lyrics!

lyrics

A wordsmith, using words to encourage with
Here to feed the people, I give'm the nourishment
This real food for men, this ain't no nutriment
Hold up
Keep it thorough, I won't curve like commas
Cause they hanging on my words like commas
Is you buildin' or destroyin', the solution or the problem
The pollution they be spewing, got me looking at'em awkward, Like
How we gone elevate us, if all you promotin' is self destructive behaviors
Could understand the Crime, but don't understand the promotion
To elevate the mind, gotta put a stop to the bull
Like mentality, that be causing fatalities
Perception's in your mind, see you could change your reality, If
you seek the divine, he could change up your batteries
The energy side, will radiates to the masses
God is your father, young brother you ain't no bastard

I know they teachin', that the Christ's skin was alabaster
But the truth of the matter is , skin color don't matter
But they throw you off course by giving you false data, forget
A mule and restitution, I'm starting a revolution
One that starts in the mind, and radiates to a movement
Where we study Christ words, and Carter G Woodson
To change the world, we change the parts of us that are crooked
This that Sean Carter remixed, with the Don Don Cartagena
That Malcom , Martin, & Marcus, That God's Son Jesus
Emancipate the mind, and heal the soul, that is my thesis
I know they leave disciples in pieces, but I believe it
I choose to walk the righteous path, brushin' shoulders with heathens
Came to spread The Word, I got my passport and my visas
Resurrect my people through teachin's of Christ Jesus
buildin' and destroyin' on corners bout life's meanin
