BLUKKA (Prod. Blokhead Johnny)

“Get a running start on that leap…”

Mellow-XZACKT, born and raised in Cleveland, embodies the path of the starving artist. It’s a road less traveled, one that breeds tortured souls and uncertainty. After gaining slight local recognition via a slew of underground mixtapes, Mellow took a hiatus from making music to finish art school and explore different ways of expression. To make a living off of your pure talent is something he learned wouldn’t be easy, from grinding as a freelance graphic artist to writing 3 screenplays in 6 months, Mellow yearned to create and refused to get stuck at somebody else’s desk making their dreams come true before his.
Mellow-XZACKT returns to his hip-hop roots on 2017’s Leap of Faith. The project is fun, it’s dark and it’s honest as we chronicle Mellow’s years of early adulthood. Drawing inspiration from ‘80s painter Jean Michel-Basquiat, Mellow pays homage to the late artist through skits that help show the parallels between them. “You can’t be me and me? I’m glad for you…” Mellow raps on the opening song, a testament to his understanding of the path he’s chosen.
Leap of Faith is an experimental hip-hop experience. It is a concentrated mind-fuck of self-depreciation, love and triumph, with one common message to all creatives:

“Get a running start on that leap…”

Lyrics:

(Bridge)
I said if you like Poptarts
As much as I do
Then clearly you got smarts
And I can fuck with you
And if you break my heart
Like all these girls do
I mean I'll always have Poptarts
They're much more sweeter than you

(Chorus)
I been on my own and I don't need nobody else (X3)
I don't need nobody else (X2)

(Verse 1)
Shout out my one true love
Way before the pussy and the drugs
Before hip-hop was my main bitch
And a young nigga had to get a rush
And I had a lot of things on my mind
And I wanna kick back and unwind
I can get 1 pack for a buck
Or get 4 for a buck 99, hey
It's the simple things
You the missing link
If I date a girl she gon' have to be as sweet as this to me
If the pussy taste like wild berry then she might get a ring
And I ain't talkin' phones I mean the finger
Don't mind me I'm just being serious
I got no time to be playin'
I got a plan to get out of the land
If you gon' be with me it's gonna be litty
If not then I got a new box in my hands
It could be blueberry, it could be raspberry, it could be strawberry jam
We gon' be chillin' and catchin' a vibe and then vibin' to all of my jams, damn

(Bridge)
I said if you like Poptarts
As much as I do
Then clearly you got smarts
And I can fuck with you
And if you break my heart
Like all these girls do
I mean I'll always have Poptarts
They're much more sweeter than you

(Chorus)
I been on my own and I don't need nobody else (X3)
I don't need nobody else (X2)

(Verse 2)
I been on my own and I don't need nobody else
Just a box of Poptarts and a bag of weed, a pack of shells
If you break the crust off that shit, that shit there that's sacrilegious
If she swallow, it's gon' taste like Poptarts
She say Zack delicious
Back to business
I got no feelings
You cannot hurt me
I cannot feel it
I'mma be alright
I'mma be gucci
Get me a new chick
Make us a movie
Shit gon' be groovy
Girl I got groupies
I don't need you
We coulda been cutie
Sippin' the wine
And smokin' the ooey
Eatin' a (POPTART!)
Grippin' ya booty, ooh!
Got a lot of girls in the contact
'Bout 90% don't get contact
'Bout 5% don't eat Poptarts
Other 5% will get a call back
I don't really wanna be this shallow
But a young G gotta stay Mellow
And a young nigga gotta ride out
Let me vibe out
Let me find out you like

(Bridge)
Poptarts
As much as I do
Then clearly you got smarts
And I can fuck with you
And if you break my heart
Like all these girls do
I mean I'll always have Poptarts
They're much more sweeter than you

(Chorus)
I been on my own and I don't need nobody else (X3)
I don't need nobody else (X2)

(Outro)
Man I really love Poptarts
It's always been that way
They could never break my heart
Because they here to stay
So if you love Poptarts
Give this song a replay
One time for the Poptarts
That brightened up our days

END
