Produced by beatsmith Tismé, the word 'Bisa' means 'Ask' in the Ghanaian language "Twi" and explores widespread inequalities from an African perspective.

Recorded and Mixed by Jim Bertini @ Galaxy Smith Studios. Brooklyn, NY.
Nneka vocals recorded by Gaultier Frossard @ DaCrib. Paris, France.
Ty vocals recorded by D’lux Beats at The Sound Emporium, UK

BISA LYRICS:
[Intro]

[Hook: Nneka, [Blitz the Ambassador]]
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,

[Verse 1: Blitz the Ambassador]
Look at how we living, Bodies are free but our minds are in prison,
Controlled by the system no longer we fall victim,
From Tahrir Square to Madison Square the streets are crammed,
Revolution will not be televised or instagramed,
The tables are turning the people are rising and burning,
Overthrow the corporations that are steadily earning,
So death to Monsanto, Death to Halliburton, Death to De Beers,
Death to Shell oil, Just look at what they did to Ken Saro-Wiwa,
Hanged him by the neck, murdered every other leader,
Either or war is how they making they funds,
Show me a factory in Africa thats manufacturing guns,
Yet theres AK 47's in every village but no food,
So the kids grow up and learn the same rules,
Violence that you sow is the violence that you reap,
Bisa oh Bisa, You ask what you seek.

[Hook: Nneka, [Blitz the Ambassador]]
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,

[Bridge: Nneka]

[Verse 2: Ty]
I speak for the unfiltered and the unfettered
Parents taught me well help to boost up the method
I write through the wrist though the twists takes effort
Please don't blink you may just miss the message
You been lied to, tricked, bamboozled and whipped
History been flipped, knicked and then ripped into pieces
Some say peace is not the word to play
I tattoo shackles on my neck on my vertebrae
Dear child of a lesser the plan is to see you buckle quick under
Or succumb to a better vision supplied by oppressors
Hear me out down to the last letter
REMOVE ALL religious obligations
Especially if they house colonial modifications
Manipulation of soul spirit and self esteem
No self respect no wonder I don't like the self I'm
Seeing.

[Hook: Nneka, [Blitz the Ambassador]]

[Outro: Nneka]

Hey love time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning

One room just ain't enough
When it's two folks trying to get along but it's hard to leave you alone

Oh love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are when we are apart
Distance makes the heart grow
Even when I'm lonely I'm happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart distance makes the heart

It makes the leaves on the trees fall
It makes the hours in the day long
Makes me wanna clear my head
Find a little cafe and write the words to a song

And I know that I'm still free
Be anywhere that I wanna be
Maybe get dressed up
Wear something real pretty that you ain't never seen

Oh love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are when we are apart
Distance makes the heart grow
Even when I'm lonely I'm happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart distance makes the heart

When you love it makes the heart
When you trust it makes the heart
When you call it makes the heart
When we're alone when we're apart
In the middle of a fight
Walk away to make it right
Where we go we're never far
In the light or in the dark
On a plane up in the stars
In a movie or at the bar
Home alone or out to tea
Look to your heart and think of me
I wanna love you don't wanna try
To change the pace of your life
We get together we make it good
We get together oh oh oh

Hey love time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning

Distance

When I first heard this song, I loved it. I loved her voice. It was sincere and I connected with the message – which for myself, made me think about the value of my own personal friendships. In the song Mizan says, “If you ever forget I’ll remind you, If you’re ever weary I’ll pull you through.” I wanted to remix it to give it a slightly different feel from the original and help share the message she was conveying in her lyrics.

"Singing was always a big passion for me..I was always fascinated at all the acrobatic vocal runs some singers do with their voice. To me it's an athletic thing and I definitely see myself as a vocal athlete..and for that deeper understanding of my voice that I now have I have to thank my vocal coach Betty Lane. She literally helped me to push out the voice that had been waiting there for years, ready to come out, like "John use me, I'm your voice" and It was always a goal of mine to make a project that showcases my singing. I see myself as a singer songwriter first, I just grew up in the generation of rap, so the 2 styles just fused together naturally. I started writing poems around 8 or 9 years old, then songs, and then raps. I eventually put it all together…22 years later...the journey to my heart , through all the ups and downs of my career trying to discover my voice, who I am, all my travels around the globe. It all leads back to Home, in the most literal sense. The house I’m sitting in front of on the video for "Home" is the house my parents brought me home to as a baby. So for me it’s like going back to the original source, the original purpose. That purpose for me is to sing. That's why this album is so special for me...and Calvin made the perfect soundtrack for me to take you on a soulful stroll through my hometown, Detroit Michigan aka Motown. Hope you enjoy! As Dank would say.."Bless up!!!!!!!!""
