about

(I post my old acapella rhymes online and I get remixed monthly from people all over the world. It’s pretty cool and I meet a lot of cool people through this process. One of those peeps was Ricky Boot, a super talented producer and all around good guy out of the UK who found me online and we started to work on original material together. The lyrics to this song were inspired by the protest and political strife going on in the world.Funny little side story (that was traumatic at the time! haha) while shooting the video, I found out my ex-girlfriend Jessica was on social media talking shit about hip hop and challenging me to a rap battle with a few posts that generated 100’s of comments and stirred up the whole local music community. I was like I don’t want to rap battle you, I care about you. She was like, your a Fucking Coward! Lol. I Love you Jessica. Lol.)

lyrics

We need a celebration
For our liberation…
time to awaken the sacred
No more waiting lives we’re saving
By breaking out the matrix
Through imagination inspiration
Innovation in this nation
Peep my proclamation
We cannot survive on the 9 to 5
When miss raising our kids
And robbed of our drive
So we don’t wanna survive no
More now we wanna thrive cuz
This paid in the first
Broke by the third shit
You know it is absurd
We rise above it like the birds
Going garbage to glory
We’re writing a new story
And the more we believe
The more it comes true
So this a celebration for our liberation
I wouldn’t wanna be alive
At any other time
To redesign and realign
With the stars with our heart
Yo I know that it’s hard
To make this transition so
We go left step right step
One step at a time
Is how we climb
To the top of the mountain
Yo I know it’s hard to keep on climbing
But we gotta keep on climbing
That sun up there is shining
We gotta keep on climbing
Until we see the view
Peer clearly through the truth
That is what we gonna do
Tell the oppressor man no more
We will pray for his soul
As we take back control
Peacefully either that or either we
Be bringing back the guillotines
To these gully streets
We tried to come in peace
Was tear gassed shot by
rubber bullets In the kidneys
We all lost our jobs
In this quarantine
So we might as well reclaim the streets
Cuz we need some relief
Our hearts are filled with grief
From watching family
Be murdered by police
And I got no hope
For no change
Coming from a vote
When told then back to go
Punching the clock
Like punchline to a joke
You have to know
The status quo
It has to go
Yo the system won’t save us
It was written to enslave us
Tax dollars as payments
To the state of surveillance
So the only solution
Now is a revolution
But I don’t wanna be a part
Of your movement
If I can’t dance
To the music
So this a celebration
For our liberation (repeated a bunch of times)
