Released by Goontrax (2013) 

What Are You Rappin' For

From the new Bop Alloy (Substantial & Marcus D) album 'Another Day in the Life of...'
Available on Bandcamp: bopalloy.bandcamp.com/album/another-…in-the-life-of

'Writing My Wrongs' has a dark soulful groove perfect for reflection while riding low in something classic. Substantial trades verses with Seattle rapper, Justis over a chill bounce track produced by Marcus D. The two MCs boast effortless double time flows about their mistakes, and the wisdom that came with them, while DJ Jav adds surgical cuts of the familiar Kendrick Lamar lyric "I could never right my wrongs, unless I write them down for real." Track also features an interlude from the album called 'Tokyo Improv' featuring Kenichiro Nishihara which was recording live in Tokyo, Japan. 

After a successful Kickstarter campaign that brought in over $15,000 in 20 days, Bop Alloy is set to drop their album on April 8, 2014. They will be touring briefly on the West Coast with CYNE this Spring. http://www.bopalloy.com/showdates/

LYRICS:
HOOK
Whether you can’t forget
Or it’s not that big of a deal
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real)
So I swear
(For real)
It was my bad
(For real)
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real)

Whether the issues dead
Or you’re tryna find a way to heal
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real)
So I swear
(For real)
It was my bad
(For real)
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real) 
VERSE 1
This is... for every single person I hurt
Whether it was unplanned or on pur-
pose (pus)
If I didn’t own up I’m worth-
Less
This is for..
Any girl I raised my hand to, ‘Fore I realized that ain’t what a man do Thanks to my big bro, ya’ll know this manhood shit don’t come with a manual
All them record stores that I stole from
When I was flat broke and so young
So I really can’t blame y’all when y’all find my albums and download’em
Any of my brothers I stole on
Should’ve turn the other cheek and rolled on
But I mistake pride for self hate, I can now say I was so wrong Forgive me
 HOOK  

VERSE 2 (JUSTIS)
Reminisce on my younger days
Had hunger pains on those summer days
Every man for himself like Hunger Games
From a city where we don't see the sun for days
Mama had one daughter, 3 sons to raise
I was gone for days like runaways
With a blunt to blaze
Drugs I could slang to get money raised
Couple of mistakes and it's judgement day
Got cuffed up but I lucked up that the cop put the gun away
Looking back now and it must be fate
Set me free when he judged my case
Could of been in the pen or could've been killed
"I could never right my wrongs unless I'm write'em down for real"
For real!
HOOK

VERSE 3
This for the times that I was dishonest
Every single broken promise
Treating you beneath the you, you are 
When you should be regarded as goddess
For my student they laid to rest
Many days I wept
From the pain your death has caused 
Missed your requiem,
Overseas blessin’ them 
May the most high protect your soul
For them family functions I missed
Missing your dap, hug, or kiss
Hope you don’t feel dissed 
But you know the real is 
Pretty safe bet I was doing this
Even though I be ripping and running 
From trying to be something, I know you exist
I know you don’t see it
But call if you need it
Don’t wait til you’re out of your wits
And for you haters, 
Sorry that we made it, on our terms not the ones they’re making so...
Minor or major, don’t matter they’re paying as long we’re not the ones playing ho
Chased down our dreams and we made it so, though we can’t be found on the radio
But the realest, know where the real is that’s real ish most people just lazy yo
Sorry we’re not more accomodatin’, yall worried about who the stars datin’
Times a wasting our apologies this bull shit’s dominatin’
So we’re concentratin’ on innovations not nominations
With a small congregation to spread our gospel to the population!

CHORUS (2x):

I wanna see the bigger picture but I know it’s not finished.
Steppin’ back too many times but I just gotta live it.
Live it up, for my people who love me, not cuz I’m winnin
but still love me through my losses when my fire’s ‘bouta diminish (light it up!)

VERSE 1:

I been about my hustle bruh.
Over these bars like muscle ups.
Late nights, early mornings
when the birds are calling on a Monday, can’t get enough.
I know it’s weird but my soul is here.
Taking ‘em shots so hold my beer.
This life is too short.
I gotta get more outta this. 
Ain’t no room for fear.
The world is yours for the taking.
But don’t forget to give to.
Sometimes it tends to get ugly when you think it’s all about you.
We owe each other nothing,
only to the ones who got us through
the hard times, we all cry, we all die,
ain’t no round two.
Everyday’s a new start, a new state of mind for the heart.
Chasing for constellations, I often space out on this art.
Things to tend to fall apart
when thinking ‘bout how it’s too hard to keep in harmony
with a world that pulls strings without a guitar.

CHORUS (2x)

VERSE 2:

Get your cookie cutter ass up out my face
I slap these carbon copy muthafuckas like some 808s.
Nowadays I go to places just to feel I’m out of place
I don’t feel shit, I just get lit, and take some bong rips to the face.
Sometimes I’m sippin on that Dom Perignon.
Everybody wanna dress as that part.
Nobody wanna be about themselves, 
cuz it probably wouldn’t sell on a top 50 chart.
10,000 hours are the numbers I put in.
Real connections are what I pull in.
Kept the peace above the street shit, where reckless bodies keep tumbling.
I’m not about that life.
I’m about providing for the wife.
I’m without the drama, set aside the pride, 
supply the light and watch the family get stronger.
I plant the seeds in my garden 
with a firm foundation with sun and water.
Cuz nowadays people are just leading sheep to the slaughter.

CHORUS (2x)

Brown Lotus - Live It Up (Prod. By Rythmatical)

Enjoy our first ever single release, brought to you by @juicebox914 & @weswax - "Fool To Care". More original sounds to come. (Free download available)(Also available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/29w4ob3cRWWvqYcZmnWmty)

"Fool To Care" Lyrics:

now here’s a little story bout love in the past 
15 years old and i thought it would last
something that i never had but it still was true
had to put it in a song and it’s here for you
it was a beautiful morning in the middle of june
i awoke with a smile cause i already knew
later on i would see you in the afternoon
in the hallway where i’m passin’ you
with a passion too
magnificent
if only i had known that you would be the instrument
that would propel me into a state that was infinite, maybe then i’d change....
but i don’t think that i could ever forget your name
thought it was a sure shot like a fish in a bucket
overthought it
i guess the bucket was much larger
oh well, no need to dwell, fuck it
it’s not a mistake if i learn from it
heartbroken by ways of overflowin’
look, i was a fool to care and now i know it

i was a fool to care, you were “too cool” to care
all of the signs were there, if only i was aware
woulda been well prepared, yeah, but that wasn’t the case
evaporating eyes upon my face remain amazed
in a daze of engagement, praise and derangement 
say what you say and play all your games then
race for the day when you can erase him
hey, would you mind if i switched up the arrangement?
drop the highs out cause i was feeling my lowest
my flow is open for overdosin’ hoping you’re joking
life is but an ocean where every wave is but a notion 
and you and i are sunken ships that long to be a’floatin’
lo and beholden; there was nobody there to hold him
and not even one cold shoulder approached him
no, it’s not a mistake if i learn from it
still, i am a fool to care i’ve always known it

10 years later i’m on a different equator
in favor; ready & able to make life greater
i’ll give you some data: happiness is not made of paper
turn the “O” into a peace sign, a true negotiator 
break an eighth up, make it last 25 days
back in the day uhh make it last 25 seconds
if i break up, i blame it on the 25 ways
that i could shake up any motherf#*^n instrumental
honey check it out you got my hypnotized
clock hands wave when you flip your eyes
deep within my heart is where i feel for you
my mind is over there, but i’m here for you
wouldn’t wanna look too far into the future
the earth turns futile like a bird flew neutral
it’s not a mistake if we learn from it
forever, fools to care swear to keep runnin’

JUICEB☮X - Fool To Care (prod. by WES WAX)

As an African American, I do not truly know where I come from. I have some absence in me. I am not proud of the country where I was born, it is not my home. I do not have somewhere I can run to like many people I know. The amount of information that isn't available about my people pains me. This song is about that emptiness.

I don't know where I come from

Kiddie Cocktail

Was something made from scratch with me and Bedows. Hirsh added drums. It's my favorite off the project. It's super majestic with Erica and Deme singing and Seamus Masterson on the violin and Trumpet by Sam Veren. Saying things that are in my head when I'm in industry settings that I constaplate saying or not. The track feels like a kiddie Cocktail drink.

Horns recorded by Ryan Mcdonald

Lyrics:
Give me a sign before you leave 
I'm dying just to know your name
Bareboned and tattered at the seams 
I'm dying just to know your name

I will wrap you up, put you in my pocket
Save you for a rainy day
I will set you up, put you on a mountain
Up at the top, I'll pray

Give me a sign before you leave
I'm dying just to know your name
Bareboned and tattered at the seams 
I'm dying just to know your name

I can fight off all your demons
I can wrestle all the pain
In the  end there's no harsh feelings
When you decide that you can't stay 

Give me a sign before you leave 
I'm dying just to know your name
Bareboned and tattered at the seams 
I'm dying just to know your name

Bareboned
