about

"The music industry and new media have become offensively incestuous and corny. We need to define a new underground completely removed from the machine. I have never been to a studio. I recorded this EP in my Brooklyn bedroom using only a laptop, a Plantronics headset, and a freeware four-track recorder program developed in 1996 (which, coincidentally, was also one of the greatest years in terms of hip-hop's maturation and contribution to culture). This EP is pure and organic; no marketing or tricknology. I don't want any money. I don't want any accolades. This is for me, and for the culture. Share it if you feel it and are so inclined. Bless."

lyrics

LYRICS:
------------------

I loved that girl so much / I loved her touch / I even loved the way the she smelled & shit / imprinted on my mind and I can't forget / tattooed on my soul so I'm wearing it / put her in my mojo pouch, she a special one / sting like a scorpion, sweet like a cherubim / young yemaja / swimmin' in the ocean / under the moon bathing in her salt water potion / her voice was melodic like the chirpin' that the birds do / she had a good spirit and some good power U / put it in my face, girrl, you know I like it / you can hit me like a heavyweight wit it / I won't fight it / this song's about love & war, pleasure & pain / cause energetically it's all the same / the alchemist said "don't worry" / the daoist said "follow your path, walk tall but don't hurry" / they both right / I'm a king by birthright / african son of the sun / brotherhood of light / already died once, I'm not scared now / it's easier the second time around, cause you know how / I was living in a teepee, singing at a pow-wow / even in my past life, I could still freestyle / my world is a world of wonders / I live by the energy of planets and the science of numbers / black, asiatic, with wit a nicotine habit / here's a piece of my mind, for your pocket, you can have it / you can't box an air sign in so don't try / I'm an aquarian contrarian / no lie / feather 'round my next cause i know i can fly & sh*t / I'm anointed by obatala and I ain't hidin' it / ridin' on ursa minor, poppin'' wheelies in my chariot / threw my stress out cause it's no room to carry it / serendipity & synchronicity is friends wit me, I'll introduce yall, lets politic alchemy / love is the guiding force / and fear is a trojan horse, don't let it inside your city / walk with me / beside me but not behind me / we still here cause we still on our journey / god is my judge & jury / fu*k an attorney / i'm still growing, still learnin' & yearnin' / gotta keep it moving cause the world keep turnin / gotta play it cool, cause hell gon' keep burnin' / maan, this ain't rhetoric / it ain't posturing, peace to elegba, my words are my offering / and to my future offspring, I cant wait till you here, lets get it poppin'

amen... ashé... hamdulillah.
