-Lyrics-

-Intro-

Chorus: If I could just remember the words I said
I would be alright
If I could just remember the words I said tonight
Then my intentions never would be misread
We wouldn’t have to fight
If I could just remember the words, my love…

Verse 1: But abstract eruptions 
of emotions manifest and congest
my inner vision when I try to recollect.
And my breath is getting heavy, 
I bereave the hidden phrases that just
can’t seem to make their way into the forefront
of my blunt mind. I’m running out of time.
I’ve gotta find my way back
to a linguistic type of tongue that’s in tact.
And in fact, if I’m not on track, 
My rhythmic dialect will disturb
our overture of love and words…

(Chorus)

Bridge: But they always leave me. Why?
Say that you believe me!

Verse 2: It’s like every single time I begin, it’s the end.
No more sentencing. I’m slowly losing touch with what’s within.
My meaning is slipping, I mean there’s no definition,
I’m falling into submission, I black out and fade in.
Now I’m closer to knowing the words I was going for 
then out of nowhere I’m stumbling and muttering
nonsense. Can’t seem to clear my subconscious 
mind, I sound obnoxious, the worst part about it is
you and I falling apart in the dark pit that stirs
all of my forgotten words…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

-Outro-

LYRICS

Chorus (Niambi):
If I knew then I'd do better whether they lookin at me
I will lead them to treasure cuz someone led me
If I knew then I'd do better whether they lookin at me
I will lead them to treasure cuz someone led me

Verse 1 (Nuri):

I know its bout a dollar I know the news lyin/
I know they like to talk about the killin and the dyin/
They quick to talk about how the whole earth fryin/
But hide the fact that they be workin wit the cats behind it/
I know I aint buggin I know some niggas lyin/
Simply cuz they words and they moves aint alignin/
Get my mind in alignment and start applyin science/
Then I spit it wit pride like an alliance of lions/
Huh?! they tryna play me watch how I remind em/
They gonna have to rewind it to find where my mind went/
A man is defined by the ways that his time spent/
And 99% of the time I be rhymin/
Refinin shit wit the style that I was designed wit/
Provide you wit them vitamins Nuri got them nutrients/
declinin on reclinin cuz a youngin tryna get it/
but best believe even wit a please they aint tryna give it/

Church / Liquor Store (Feat. Noname) [Prod. by Cam O'bi]

As we continue the countdown to Countdown, we're happy as hell to bring you this latest joint from Jean Deaux and Phoelix, "Stranger Things". When we heard this joint that Jean laced for our tape, we were simply blown away by the 2min opus she provided. Phoelix's instrumental is a perfect canvas for Jean's unique mix of bars, melody, and a kind of ability to rock out. You want to talk about MOOD music? "Stranger Things" is that track and then some. While you can hear the subtle references to the netflix show, "who knows where he had could have been", the imagery Jean provides certainly stands on its own as a compelling piece of art.
