about

(Oftentimes I will be riding in my car, and I will be rocking out to some swaggerific jam, something cocky and confident. Not usually thought of as “conscious” or “positive”. And then I’ll go to a meeting with city officials and brainstorm improving the community or meet with one of my clients and be like, “So tell me about your feelings…” lol. But sometimes I need that James brown funky ass vibe so I can feel confident and bold and empowered enough to go make the change in the world I feel like I was set out to do. I need music that gives me confidence. That’s one thing I love about hip hop, it’s the sound of oppressed and poor people improving their situation, it’s the sound of determination, and yes it’s the sound of funk. And what is more fun than the funk? I wanted something like that on my album, something not as conscious but full of confidence. So I hit up Nara from High Step Society to get this bangin ass beat, Maxwell and I have done tons of songs together but we both really wanted to work with the incredible MC Cerebral Coretex so it was a pleasure for both of us to get to work with him on this song.)

lyrics

It’s Tha
A - U - T - H - E - N
To the T - I, C - I
T - Y See Why
I’m Fly 2 Live
2 Die, 2 Day
I say we gotta find a way
To love and celebrate (Hey)
We came from the section 8
Where they gave us lemons
And we made lemonade
To slang at Heaven’s Gates
4 the love of the Hustle like
Ooh - Ooh - Aah - Aah - Ee - Ee
We be from the jungle
trash pandas
With that checkered past
Getting ass smoking grass
Took a nap and still I pass
Now I get the cash just to give it back
Haha had to laugh
At the haters
Even when I st-st-stutter
I’m still a bad mutha la-la-la-lover
So I ride through my city
And I see my fingerprint
I ride through my city
You see we be lit
I ride through my city
With these gods and goddesses
So I ride through my city
On that boss shit...
