Lyrics

Transporting valuables with a nine each side like a tractor-trailer
Semi-automatic, brought the static.
Fought a classic, thought you had it but it’s in my clutches
Should’ve trusted but you fucked it.
Steady signals interrupted ten times

I bet another brother set ‘em up. Submission hold.
Never let ‘em up. Grapple froze. If he swings, you’d better duck.
Aiming at moving targets. Trigger control. What a marksman!
Running at full speed, dodging bullets. Hurdling over stationary objects

Thought I’d never win. Reached the final boss on level ten. Metal sparking
Find the right bullseye and deliver destiny to its destination. Devils barking
Pistol gripped kinda tight. Align the sight.
Tomorrow I’ll rewind tonight.
Angels bite veins like vampires.
Whenever I tell my truth to anyone I’m called a “damn liar!”

I’ve seen the strangest sights. An alien riding a kid’s bike.
A werewolf howling at midnight.
There’s no limit to what men might do when they want what’s due
Ugly hearts fall in love like Casablanca too

Beautiful monsters who won’t enter inside without an invite
You can be polite but please keep them out your life
Those creatures need your light. So don’t let those beasts inside

I’m not escaping, I’m contemplating another way back in
Not referencing Wimbledon yet I’m penicillin equations that factor in Venus’ backspin
I’m all in, when it goes down I’m the captain of the ship
A three word question both arsonists & scientist love, “What happens if?”

No one knows what’s next
Always defend, even when no one’s attacking shit
Spies deployed in enemy ranks
Stolen blueprints of drone, sentry and tank traction grips
Action clip activists actin as if victory is promised but
Don’t forget to factor in failure
They call us big rigs, transporting valuables with a nine each side like a tractor-trailer

Semi-automatic, brought the static.
Fought a classic, thought you had it but it’s in my clutches
Should’ve trusted but you fucked it.
Steady signals interrupted ten times

I bet another brother set ‘em up. Submission hold.
Never let ‘em up. Grapple froze. If he swings, you’d better duck.
Aiming at moving targets. Trigger control. What a marksman!
Running at full speed, dodging bullets. Hurdling over stationary objects

You know blood is thicker than water. If not, I’m quick to correct ya
Show love, I’m the ultimate plug. Nikola Tesla
Spit wit the best of the best. It’s my honor like bushido
If he beat me, he’s a monster cuz I was born to conquer

Promise I will never let em win. Straight to the hole ain’t no checking him
Heist the ball, won’t pass at all. Thomas Edison
But then I let my flag fly. Blurred the lines, in my past lives
I pray for the bad guys, the black birds and the magpies

Limited edition, bad motherfucker. Pulp Fiction
Listen as Hannibal lectures. Mind blown to a different time zone
With the ambition to kill a king. Throne takers, the best have died trying
Conditioned bone breaker and I exercise by flying

It’s lonely at the top, your only visitors are killers
Convert their screams into ghosts. Deliver the love in a river of blood
Show love, I’m the ultimate plug. Nikola Tesla
Show love, I’m the ultimate plug. Nikola Tesla

I bet another brother set ‘em up. Submission hold.
Never let ‘em up. Grapple froze. If he swings, you’d better duck.
Aiming at moving targets. Trigger control. What a marksman!
Running at full speed, dodging bullets. Hurdling over stationary objects

Harlem. Her streets paved in the gold of black thought, poetry, song, and struggle. Mandella Eskia is Harlem, but his name rings out city-wide. Founding member of Black God Pantheon, Mandella, youngest son of revered Activist Elombe Brath is true to his roots, and to the roots of his neighborhood. An uptown icon in the making.
Mandella Eskia's latest album, the self-released Bury Me In Gold is a testament to the emcee's skill, and Harlem's rich African American identity. Uptown's legacy, it's juke joint past, its street wisdom, and unapologetic pro-black heritage all flourish in Mandella. The album exudes the brash playfulness, and razor wit of the great Harlem rappers before him, with a sound that is modern, but undeniably New York.
The record's lead single, Extra has garnered over 20k video streams with minimal industry support. A magnetism, steeped in Harlem swagger, black pride, and he pours this charisma effortlessly into his music. He is the sound of Black youth across Harlem and America, energized by recent events, and the celebration of life that endures.
A staple on the live circuit, Mandella Eskia has opened for Nas, Wale and has performed alongside fellow up and coming MC Jadon Woodard.  No stranger to New York's indie scene, he appears regularly at NYC venues including Irving Plaza, Pianos, Cake Shop, and Brooklyn music halls like Paper Box. His shows often see the emcee cloaked in a crowd eagerly reciting his lyrics along with him, an omen of what's to come.
