this beat is really great. elegant in its progression, and so raw everytime a drum drops

Can't stop listening to this.... So real, so dope. 

This realness is needed. Truth delivered with swag. Thank you and more please.

MeLo-X expresses social commentary on recent incidents that have occurred in East Flatbush Brooklyn and speaks about Police brutality and the direct effect it has on the youth and families in our communities. 
 
MeLo-X cleverly samples Elliott Wilson's "The Truth", which is associated with building a community of conversation, and idea sharing about Hip-Hop's highs & lows but flips it to talk about the truth of what goes on in Black & Latino communities across the United States.

Vocals by MeLo-X
Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by MeLo-X at "The Bermuda" Studio in Brooklyn.

Put the water in the pot

Sit back and Watch the pressure building

Spit that Elliot Wil Nigga

[VERSE]
The truth is
I used to be tooth less
That's the only time that i ever had a gold tooth shit
Wasn't trying to be cool bitch
Wasn't trying to be trendy
nah - I leave that up to ya'll
U ball in ya local mall
I be cellular roaming dog
passport stamps like Tyga tats
I cud show you where the tigers at
And the lion kings in the county of kings
When the school bell rings you can loose everything
young niggas riot
cuz we don't got no option
Now all we see on the block is
killa coppers helicopters and choppers
Chopping down 
see the bloods got it popping now
And the Crips got it cracking loud
and the medias is frozen out
So u don't see on the TV
How they treat us like Zoo keep-early
in the morning while u sleeping we scheming on ways to get even steven

[CHORUS]
Put the water in the pot
flame to the top
watch the kettle get hot 
and let it burn let it burn

Put the water in the pot
bring flame to the top
watch the kettle get hot 
and let it burn let it burn

and now the pressures building 
Sit back and watch the pressure building

yeah

you know I gotta keep it real
Spit that Elliot Wil Nigga


[BRIDGE] 2X
I gotta keep it realla

[VERSE 2]
The truth is a lot of pigs is ruthless
they'll take your life in the blink of an eye
You think its a lie i'll prove it
Let me tell you a few things
About loosened shoe strings
About crews with screws loose
and there's no room for tightening
Enlightening when I'm writing this
They don't fight with fist
They ignite the clips
This the pigs that I'm talking bout
And they ain't trying to talk it out
these Mutha fukas got a another route
Robo cop got a chip on his shoulder
So his gun escapes from the holder
Explodes and they hold us responsible
until the Good Lord shows up

[CHORUS]
Put the water in the pot
flame to the top
watch the kettle get hot 
and let it burn let it burn

Put the water in the pot
bring flame to the top
watch the kettle get hot 
and let it burn let it burn

and now the pressures building 2X
Sit back and watch the pressure building

you know I gotta keep it real
Spit that Elliot Wil Nigga
