Robert Glasper Experiment - Get Lucky (Daft Punk cover) 8/3/13 Newport Jazz Festival

Erykah badu - heartache

This is a song by Stevie Wonder from his 1979 soundtrack called the secret life of plants. This album was a departure from his classic pop music like the song from songs in the Key of life, which was his most commercially successful album. This is my favorite song by Stevie Wonder when it comes to his voice I love how he sounds on his version. Please go take a listen if you don't know the song... 
Of course the song has themes of nature & flower but it also has themes of Greek mythology, particularly Pan who is a Greek god of the wild. To me flowers is of course, soft and feminine and pan being half goat and more rustic is a little bit of the masculine so 
 I wanted to do something that kinda reminds me of a duet between my agile feminine falsetto and the depth and color of my baritone. The arrangement is pretty much the same but I played around with the melody, harmonies, and ad lib my way. I think it gives it a unique sound while honoring the original piece.
I hope you enjoy.

CHILDREN OF THE CITY | (A. Abernathy, A. Davis, N. Simone)
AARON ABERNATHY - ALL VOCALS , PROGRAMMED DRUMS, & KEYBOARDS;
MALIK HUNTER - BASS

Verse 1
With their foggy intuition 
They’re forced to make big decisions
That lead to massive collisions
All because they’re not conditioned
 
On how to play this game
And for years it’s remained the same
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You know that it’s a shame
That they treat Black human beings this way
So I fall on my knees and pray

Hook
Cause I know
Lost souls trying to find their way
Before the Lord brings the judgment day
And these political crooks and Pharisees 
With dirty looks are slain 

And I hope we’re all trying to find a way
To shuffle all the cards we’ve been dealt to play
I hope the Lord hears my prayer today
And remembers the children of the city

Verse 2
Lord don’t let me backslide 
On the east side of Cleveland we ride
To thugs & Harmony 
Me and Scott Mescudi, used to listen to tribe
Pushing my Daddy’s ride
Son of Larry’s alive
And he’s breathing 
Yeah I’m still here I’m still Cleveland
A messenger for my people
You know the people
The victims of systemic evil 
And it’s been going on for centuries 
That white supremacy 
That no equality 
That store clerk in the store that follows me
Along with police brutality 
And we’re fed up 
And all lives matter is a setup 

Just like our schools with dated books 
Produce crooks that played hooky 
And now they’re out to get your daughter’s goodies 
We all know the system failed them 
Wouldn’t excel them 
They’d rather break them down and jail cell them 

Hook
Cause I know
Lost souls trying to find their way
Before the Lord brings the judgment day
And these political crooks and Pharisees 
With dirty looks are slain 

And I hope we’re all trying to find a way
To shuffle all the cards we’ve been dealt to play
I hope the Lord hears my prayer today
And remembers the children of the city


Ending Refrain
Black king you better wear your crown 
Black queen please know I worship the ground
That you walk on
Don’t let the man bring you down 
Black People said we gotta be proud 
Lord have mercy
To be young, gifted, and Black
They can’t stop that, Lord knows  
With God on our side
They can’t stop us 
Yeah
Hook
Cause I know
Lost souls trying to find their way
Before the Lord brings the judgment day
And these political crooks and Pharisees 
With dirty looks are slain 

And I hope we’re all trying to find a way
To shuffle all the cards we’ve been dealt to play
I hope the Lord hears my prayer today
And remembers the children of the city
