What About Love ft. Lee Wilson

I wrote this song almost a decade ago... and yet too much of this track is still relevant to today. The struggle continues. Bless up- Eroc

Fruits Of Babylon- Foundation Movement

Foundation Movement recorded this song in memory of Joel "JoJo" Turner and in honor of his mother Janet Connor's (Mama J) for the "What is Beautiful Never Dies" Project. That is Mama J singing and speaking on the track. The song was the song she would often sing JoJo to sleep with when he was a child. Love and light.  

Peaceful Warrior (Jojo's Song)

(2005) Inspired by Styles P "I'm Black!" someone asked me when I was going to remix it I decided to do it that very night. Produced by Upryz 

Lyrics

[Eroc:]
Foundation, Boricuas rise up

I'm brown! Even though we come in all colors
From the bricks to the suburbs I'm a rep for my brothers
To the Latin queens who far too often are single mothers
Trust me we love you though we do the things that thugs do
I know it bugs you, stop and breathe life we must do
All praises due to the women, holdin' us down since the beginnin'
I'm brown! That's how I'm livin'
Proud, that's the feelin' I get cause I'm Latino
From the Bean to Puerto Rico, Clemente to Albizu
I'm a rep for my people in the belly of evil
Organize: that's the game plan, from islands to mainland
We reppin' the same clan, got roots from the same man:
Taino, Spaniard and African
I'm brown! And we're all young lords
From Pun to The Floor Lords, 
four-door Honda Accords
Drop to the floor, but we so much more
No one as proud as us, look how rowdy we get
At the festival, each year lively as shit
Like, que bonita bandera, rockin the guayabera
Ciento por ciento boricua, se lo digo a cualquiera
Marina pa'fuera, cause this is our era
Shinin' stars from P.R. trapped far
But we are beautiful people
I'm brown from Arecibo
I'm a rep' that every day, rep' that in every way
I pray for a better day, that's why I say
I'm brown!

And I feel it in my soul
We gotta let 'em know we tired of they bull
Too many locked by these cops
Rise up PuertoRocs, pump your fist
If you feelin' that, then hit 'em hard with the left
Like Tito Trinidad, from the Bronx to Chi Town
D.C. to Beantown, we reppin' the scene now
And here from the inception, that's a blessin'
In my veins flows the salsa of Willy Colon
From San Juan to Bayamon, I dedicate this cancion
To revolutionaries, like Lolita Lebron
In the eighties and still strong, despierta boricua
We been a colony for too long
No longer usin' Vieques to drop bombs
But we stay stressed, we want the Pentagon gone
But clean up your mess, like our basketball team did to the U.S.
I'm brown, like the skin on the congas playin' the beat
And I'm hot like P.R. during the summer heat
Cool down with a piragua from Ponce
to Caguas, Culebra to Naranjito
I'm brown like Tito Puente
Rep' hard para mi gente
Caliente, like mami's cookin'
Rice and beans, you can smell it in the streets of Brooklyn
Alcapurrias, pastelillos y bacalao
Look at us now, somehow we stay strugglin'
On the corners hustlin', it's puzzlin
The system tries to keep us locked down
Los Yanquis getting fuego
Just ask Roy Brown

I'm brown!
And on the corner playin' dominoes, snackin' on platanos
Trust me I'm brown and I'm not afraid to show it
I'm a genius, and a Jibaro poet
I'm brown, I'm that if I ain't nothin' else
I'm brown, I'm beautiful, I love myself
I'm brown and I'm a proud Puerto Rican
For my dreams I'm reachin', independence we achievin'
From my heart is how I'm speakin' Im Brown

I'm Brown (Boricua Anthem!)

Foundation Movement on InDigNation Radio W/ host Chris Faraone

Just playing around in sound class last semester. The interview with Javi was spontaneous he literally said all of those things unprovoked then I attempted to freak it into a beat.... not too shabby for my first attempt at making a beat...
