Crawling through a systematic maze

And it pains to demise

Pain in our eyes

Strain of drownin', wading into your lies

Degradation so loud that you can't hear the sound of our cries

All the dreamers have gone to the side of the road which we will lay on

Inundated by media, virtual mind fucks in streams

[CHORUS]

All we wanted was a chance to talk

'Stead we only got outlined in chalk

Feet have bled a million miles we've walked

Revealing at the end of the day, the charade

Perpetrators beware say a prayer if you dare for the believers

With a faith at the size of a seed enough to be redeemed

Relegated to savages bound by the way of the deceivers

So anchors be sure that you're sure we ain't no amateurs

[CHORUS]

All we wanted was a chance to talk

'Stead we only got outlined in chalk

Feet have bled a million miles we've walked

Revealing at the end of the day, the charade

[BRIDGE]

With the veil off our eyes we'll truly see

And we'll march on

And it really won't take too long

And it really won't take us very long

Easily my favorite song on the album.

 
In (un)related news, former member of A Tribe Called Quest and Lucy Pearl, Ali Shaheed Muhammed has released a song titled CPR

Produced by New York native, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, 'CPR' features Tennessee visual artist/rapper, JaPoet, Georgia co-producer/rapper, David Luke, and recent collaborator, Palestinian/Canadian singer/songwriter, Merna (fka Ayah).

Via his instagram, Ali writes, "The Eric Garner non-indictment decision left me in shock. Shock turned into tears. Tears turned into this song. Revive the nation. Time for a collective consciousness!"

This is one for the people. #BlackLivesMatter

Lauryn

Andre

Jay elec

Dre

Who's dropping first?

Outta those 4, the most likely (emphasis on 'likely') to drop an album in the nearest future is Elect

The most unlikely is Dr. Dre. ..

s/n i saw Ms. Hill in concert this summer...yea, crazy.

But the performance was actually underwhelming. She didnt perform any of her original material as is, all of it had like a reggae, uptempo tinge.

So im inclined to believe she's too emotinally invested to record what we want, (slow jams, sad ish), maybe bc it hurts...or she dont own the mateiral or somethin. Idk

I say all that to say this...i dont think she's ever doing music again lol
 
giving this the all important 4th listen...after a day away from it. imo it takes that 3rd or 4th listen and a day away to place the album

Yall don't want a ms hill album. She came to Chicago and just sounded so horrible

In what way? Im curious bc in DC her voice wasnt too bad but this bytch remixed all her old songs (lol smh) nggas was straight perplexed.
 
Word I saw Lauryn in the bay and she sounded awful.

But yoooo I can't stop playing this album. He incorporated all the different elements of music so effortless. This shit is the definition of imperfectly perfect. This jawn was worth the wait for real. In a time where everything is so recyclable and we always on to the next, this is an album you really gotta digest and sit with for a long time. This the best Christmas present we could ask for. Hopefully we don't have to wait another 15 years for his next one but I'm not holding my breath.
 
After 4th listen i can finally classify songs

Instant classics: really love, charade, Another life

Elite: Betray my heart, prayer, aint that easy

Very good: the rest

Dont like: the door, and even thats nitpicking

Verdict: still need more time to call it classic, idk why maybe just being conservative. After i really put it down for a week or so then pick it back up, im pretty sure i'll call it classic. No music has put me in this type mood in a minute.

artist live =/= artist in the studio

JCole live in concert on Born Sinner tour was way better live than the album.

He performed with live band which definitely helped tho
