about

This is the first production song I've released and I'm beyond pleased to share that it's with the wonderful Def Sound. We created this tune during quarantine and it's the perfect emotional barometer.

As Def describes; "Give ppl their flowers while they can still feel them. Lets put some respect on ppl's Pre hashtag personage.
This song is dedicated to all those righteous spirits who have transitioned to the ancestral plane by the hands of Police Brutality, mistaken identity, fear, jealously, toxic masculinity, because they dreamed, because they were themselves, because they lived too loud, because of structural federally sanctioned violence, because they they were a woman, because we watched, because they were trans, because they fought back, because they were black, because no one said anything, because because because ........ Your stories live on through us. Let ppl know they are valuable while they are here."

lyrics

:: [ hook ] ::

(Eye wanna) Give flowers before you Nipsey

Memories before you miss me

You know the water than the glass is never empty

Eye splash get nothing on me

no no aint got no worries

Eye know that It’s above me

Eye know that It’s above Me






:: [ verse ]::

How is your pulse today?
How did it go to today?
How can we grow today?
My ears are yours today
My heart is open face
We gotta cultivate

My soul is a solar ray
I need my folks today
Put that on Cimarron
This is a marathon
That’s such a holy phrase
We gotta organize
This is a wholey rage



21 21 it’s been A lot
As thick as the plot
Masks on our face
running the block
From the top of our lungs
Abolish the cops
No kumbaya


We don’t need no new Jordans
I’m reading up on June Jordan
Need a new day w/ a new morning
My eyes wet but I’m
through mourning


Home grown in a war-zone
Warden’s vs poor folks
I be on my grown man
I be like let’s own land


That’s a capitalist cadence
I am just saying
Fist in the air like Angela Davis

My newest ability that’s vulnerability
Skin come w/ history (yea)


I don’t need a black out
That’s telling me you tapped out
I am not a hashtag
I am gonna live loud

All up in the mix now
the Violence is so loud
Sirens cant silence this
We Living a shift now


By door like Spook like
Eye see ya shook like
we move by moonlight
We live through verse like
