Let Me See Jon Brion In Wonderland

[Verse 1]
We were leaders once, men
Came to us for guidance
We held the knowledge, the fire, the healing
Then it was taken, our names erased from books, our voices burned as witchcraft
Our bodies controlled by law and shame
We were told to be quiet, to serve, to disappear
And still today we are silenced, dismissed, paid less, treated like property, treated like prey

[Verse 2]
When I was 19, a guy I barely knew grabbed me from behind at a party and tried to kiss me. I pushed him away. I said, "Stop!" He laughed.
Later he told everyone I was asking for it.
Friends avoided me.
That's when I realized my body could be treated like it wasn't mine.

[Chorus]
This world is broken
Because when you silence one half, you break the whole
When you deny the spirit, the body loses its way
We are not enemies, we are what's left of each other

[Verse 3]
We were told to be strong, but not the kind of strong that feels, the kind of strong that carries weight, swallows pain, never cries.
We were told provide, protect, fight, but don't show weakness, don't need help, and if we do, we're failures.
So we hide behind anger, behind violence, behind silence. We die younger. We take our own lives.
We are denied the right to be whole, just as much as you are.

[Verse 4]
When I was 14, my grandpa died and I cried. My dad said, "Real men don't cry."
At school, kids called me a wimp. I learned to swallow every emotion, to act like pain didn't exist. Later, I acted tough so no one would see that scared kid.

[Chorus]
(Heal me)
You feel me?
(Heal me)
But we're afraid of ourselves.

[Verse 5]
And I scroll and I see it too.
Man, shame for showing feeling. Women calling me weak. Society telling me I'm not enough, not strong enough, not masculine enough. Every meme, every reply, a punch in the gut.
A challenge to my existence.

[Chorus]
And we fight each other online, throwing words like weapons, forgetting the real war is against the system that taught us to doubt each other, to doubt ourselves. We tear down the other half of ourselves instead of seeing a reflection.

[Outro]
(Heal me)
(Heal me)
We are not enemies, we are the missing pieces, masculine and feminine, spirit and flesh. We need both. We have both. The war is not against each other. The war is against balance, and we don't have to fight it anymore.
We are not enemies, we are the missing pieces, masculine and feminine, spirit and flesh. We need both. We have both. The war is not against each other. The war is against balance, and we don't have to fight it anymore.

Real Story

A nocturnal soul ride through wet London streets, confessionals with bite, doo-wop shadows, and brass that snarls. All 20 tracks revolve around love, relapse, and guts, with both swagger and scars.

La Melodia - Working on it feat. Steve Hartley

Produced by Exile 
On the MPC 2000 XL and ADX TRAX Pro
www.audionamix.com
Inspired By The Artist

I woke up April 21st to the news of Prince's passing. As time passed, drinks were sipped and again I was asked the question, "how are you going to respond musically to his passing?" I went home faded, turned on the stereo and started banging Prince. 
  As I'm listening, I'm realizing all the memories and emotions i had stored in his music. I'm remembering how much of his music my Mom would play at high volume when I was growing up. Reminiscing on my Mothers happy face as she would dance in the house. I mean she would be busting! Dancing like she's in the club! She was good too!  I began to cry and think about my own life. I began to reflect on the passing of my Mother and Prince as a symbol of this wonderful journey we're all on. A sign of the times of my own life so to speak. To witness the death of my Mother and the recent death of a prince.
  This all represents a farewell to a childhood that has made me the man I am today. The creativity I fight viciously for and the inspiration I find along the way. All of this that keeps me on track with the God energy and means everything to me.
I've realized I have no choice but to honor his creative life by honoring my own.  
  So by taking my good friends advice with these 3 simple beats and this Hip Hop I've been working on my whole life. This is what makes me happy. Inspiration turned to creation. With heart and with love.
Rest in Peace Prince.
