Lyrics:
VERSE 1 
Peacemaker 
Son of a violent man 
Dream chaser 
Raised on divided land 
Where thieves raped us 
Treated like I’m not a man 
Our behavior 
Like rebels without a plan 
Step false get offed by a coward’s hand 
Life’s shorter than an hour hand 
But the least of my worries is the Taliban 
Or hopin’ that they’ll pass an assault rifle ban 
Most guns where I’m from aren’t licensed fam 
The ones that are 
Usually held tight in hands 
By the cops and so called authority figures 
Cringe at my black skin while calling us nigger 
But 6 letters can't define me I'm so much bigger 
The path I walk, 
Most people can’t endure the rigor 
Back up talk 
By displaying so much vigor 
Mastered art 
The blind just ignore the picture 
Passed a tart 
But of course my portion’s bitter 
That or starve 
Cause round here they don’t deliver 
Grabbed a quart 
Rather be engulfed in liquor 
Lacked support 
And I wasn’t born a winner 
An afterthought 
These know-it-alls won’t consider 
A man of God 
Who sits upon a throne of wicker 
Who scratched & Clawed 
to reach the very point I’m sitting 
After-all 
That’s what fuels the poems I’m spitting 

HOOK 
(Substantial) 
I’ma take this pain I’ve been dealt with and use it 
This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it 
Without my music and art I’d be useless 
I always knew 
I got to do so... 
I’ma take the pain I’ve been dealt and use it 
This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it 
Without this music and art I’d be useless 
I always knew 
What I had to do 'cause... 

(Oma Pearl) 
You can’t hide from who you are 
You can’t hide from who you are 
Not even the highest peak 
The lowest place 
In every space 
You always leave a trace 
You always leave a trace 
Always leave a trace! 

VERSE 2 
Blood pressure high, 
Self-respect low 
Could be cancer inside 
Am I’m scared to know 
Lucky to be alive 
At the age of 34 
Livin’ in fast times 
Still manage to die slow 
IV pumping morphine in my bloodstream 
Woke with a scratchy throat & groggy what a rough dream 
Something’s 
Not right, nurse can you help me sit up 
Felt like I was stabbed, 
Every time I try to get up 
Hurt so damn bad, 
I can’t even cough this phlegm up 
Pain every minute 
Every moment that I been up 
When I told the fam 
They looked at me like I’m finished 
Huh! I’ll be damned 
if anything we’ll make me give up 
Wishing I was home in my chair 
Anywhere but here 
Baby girl completely unaware 
Lives without a care 
It ain’t fair 
When your child, you can’t even pick up 
But I did it for her, so I’ma keep my chin up 

HOOK 

BRIDGE 
(Oma Pearl) 
No matter what happens today 
Tomorrow the sun will rise 
We'll be there 
We'll be there 
We'll be there 
To greet the sun 
Good Morning 
Good Morning 
Good Morning 
Good Morning

Sketches Of Pain Ft. Oma Pearl Of Conjure Woman

Ocean Dance [Arrival], produced by curator of the signature Bop Alloy sound, Marcus D, is an eargasmic collage of cool drums, smothered in warm bass, subtle keys and baritone vocals by Substantial. Vibrant horns & background vocals by Kokayi put the icing on this little slice of heaven, which Substantial describes as “70’s porn spliced with the best elevator music you’ve heard in your life.” He delivers rhymes about the affair we all share with the ocean when we’re in desperate need of a getaway. Describing his mistress with lyrics like: “You taste like tears, smell like freedom / Could’ve brought my cares and worries here but I don’t need em...” and “I like the way she move (move - move) / So I stop to say “Hey!” (Hey - Hey) / ‘Cause even though she’s blue (blue - blue) / She’s sweet enough to wave (wave - wave)”.
