TREE mix

Smile Mo' (ft. Tree)

She had escaped the fighting in Ukraine
He stabbed a refugee on a light-rail train
She'd fled bombs, just wantin’ to feel safe
But she couldn't escape his wanton blade

He'd been jailed and freed dozens of times
Cashless bail took her freedom in her prime
The system broke down, the guilty walked free.
Then Charlie spoke out for what he believed

And while he spoke out, they pointed a gun
They blew the lights out of an anointed son
Wanna keep us down. Don't want us raisin' our head
If we speak the truth loud — they wanna paint us red

Which side of the aisle you're on, ought not apply
It doesn't really matter, when it’s your time to die
We need to stand for truth. The case is open n shut
They're all in cahoots — deep state power corrupts

Facts have to speak when lies set back the truth
Need to stop actin' like sheep n get back to our roots
We need to stand for Iryna, and stand for the truth
Need to stand for Charlie, our land and our youth

They flipped the script — claimed lies were truth
If we plant bad seeds, we're gonna get bad fruit
Charlie’s last words — broke the still of the night
What good is free speech, if you're killed in the fight?

Facts have to speak when lies set back the truth
Need to stop actin' like sheep n get back to our roots
We need to stand for Iryna, and stand for the truth
Need to stand up for Charlie, our land and our youth

If we stand up, they shoot. The case is open n shut
They're all in cahoots — deep state power corrupts
We need to stand for truth - the case is open n shut
They're all in cahoots — deep state power corrupts

Stand for Truth

GET OUT THE WAY CHILD

one day after convicted child killer and ex chicago cop jason van dyke was sentenced to 81 months for the murder of 16 year old laquan mcdonald. i felt compelled to express my feelings in a song last night.. i was heated to say the least, although this was the first time in the history of chicago that a chicago cop was convicted of wrongful murder on the job, which in itself is a great achievement in some peoples eyes when you count the thousands of minorities killed over the years caught both on and off film that got no justice or result. i will say this with the utmost confidence and realization of my reality that Black lives dont matter!! i will say that it is true just as we did have a black president once upon a time. i will counter any wager in stating that there is a system of oppression here in chicago and america that even noble, civilized caucasian and other folks cant undo. knowing this, i take it upon myself as a member of the Black community to say this!!! how many times do we have to be reminded of how vulnerable we are as a community to ones temperment at any given moment and time. wether it be people we went to school with who we now look at as opps, enemies because they sided with their neighborhood partners in unison rather than their academic alliances. the truth is the black community is sooo divided that one more dead teenager wont change the bottom line.while there are few of us who get it, the battle is huge.. we have to denounce this gang life and mind set of divide conquer and terrorization of our own people.. as a part of this community i see where we lack and why we get the results that weve been getting for so many years. we have to value ourselves once more. we have to unite and love each other as human beings. its so easy for us to get into arguments and shoot each other down, its so easy to assume a position of all out revenge for a friend that was killed and vow to go to war with a specific group of other disenfranchised poverty stricken people, cry when a cop kills one of us then go back to the same savagery as before. theres neighborhoods that have been at war amongst each other like tribes for over 30 years, but if you trace the root it may have started from as little as a lunch room fight or bus stop ass whipping or a woman. now 30 years later 40 people have been killed or maimed . paralyzed cuz your great uncle got his ass whooped in 1976... dont be mistake,  there is a reason that cops arent pandemically killing indian kids out in schaumbug.  or jewish kids up in lincoln park. point blank they arent as violent . they dont carry guns in packs of 10or  make commotion and bully each other. my brother we have to give all this bull shit up. we have to put the guns down. we have to graduate and care about our credit scores and our children..  in conclusion i feel like maybe we as a community killed laquan mcdonald.. just like as if i were to go do a drive by shooting in revenge for a fallen comrade , theres a 99% chance i wont get the actual person that violated. but i may get his friend or someone who allies with him. but in return the same happens to me and mine. where i dont actually get the payback but my boys father does. just for being out there at the time.. how real of a friend have i just been to my people. what ive just did was knock over a hornets nest and let the revnege loose on my loved ones. so yes, maybe we with our bragadocious antics in our music or our attitudes in our communities as well helped produce this wave of kids who dont respect a man or a cop with a gun in his hands. maybe this renegade attitude of fuck everybody but my group that we all have is the real killer. anyhow listen to this song. i teared up making it. i hope it expresses it self.

For Our Latest Compilation, Closed Sessions has recruited fast risers such as Kemba, Open Mike, Khary, Dave B, Mother Nature and more.
