Lyrics:

Oh yeah girl you keep me off the ground
with a spin on my head
Hmmm

The skyline leans, tips and turns
I gotta sleep low, take me to my bed
please

Them demons are not easily appeased
My unflinching nerve, i'll hear verse sung of my
chivalry

Oh you can drop my stained trainers right here on the side
Be good to leave one foot on the floor for
me

The evening rose up from a lull to meet it's urgency
a tremor ran down through the company
A few stood down, others fell or saw their saw their chance to leave
and easily men taller and broader than me

I lined the shots and chasers up and lined them up again
in the order served by a legion of serving men
I lit the fumes and vapours and scorched the bristles off my chin
then hurled each down the rank and ravenous den

________________________________

On "Of the Meaning of Progress", Charmingly Ghetto gives listeners content from a musician trying to constantly find a way to be better. For C.G., that has always been the mantra. 

With "O.T.M.O.P.", Charmingly Ghetto exhibits his lyricism as an emcee, while also developing his talents as a songwriter, co-writing hooks with Katrina Renee - an NYC-based songstress who features on 3 songs on the project. C.G. does not allow himself to feel that if he's not good at something, he's not good at something, and "O.T.M.O.P." shows him experimenting with new techniques and conscious topics; he remains confident that listeners will enjoy it.

"Of the Meaning of Progress" is the project that has taken C.G. the longest to put together, and he worked hard on the "crafting stage", simply because he had someone on the production end that is so talented, they could have been giving their time to someone else. The collaborations on this release come from artists who have a genuine respect for C.G.'s music, some being artists he has not met face-to-face yet; others he has connected with in places like N.Y.C. and SXSW. 

The progress of Charmingly Ghetto's career is an example of how important relationships are for a musician. He continues to crash on couches that belong to some of his homies from college, and it has never been an issue because of their respect and love for his passion as an emcee. C.G. says, "it's always been go-getting, ever since college. But it's a paced go-getting."
