"Leviathan" is a self-produced and engineered rare moment of bravado from Newark-based artist, PATH P, as well as a response to the state of rap as a tool to uplift, empower and serve as a soundtrack to defy systemic social conditions of today's society.

Lyrics
First thing’s first
I am bout that work
Pusher of the power
God forbid they know their worth 
Child of Earth
Had my hands all in the dirt 
Means I got it out the mud
When heavy rains would bring the hurt 
I am self evident 
Of what it means to break sediment
Won’t be defined by my settlement
I’m on the precipice
Of setting precedence
‘Bout them dead presidents
If it means freein’ my folk from impediments
Socially activated by a power
Structure that’s still antiquated
Let ‘em know what’s up from the door

I’m a leviathan
Give my bouquets like a Hyacinth
Not for admirin’
Elevate souls til they higher than
You say you spit fire, man? (Hm)
Guess I’m a fireman
If it ain’t inspirin’
All you loud muthafuckas be quiet then

I’m a leviathan
Give my bouquets like a Hyacinth
Ain’t for admirin’
Elevate souls til they higher than
You say you spit fire, man? (Hm)
Guess I’m a fireman
If it ain’t inspirin’
All you loud muthafuckas be quiet then

Larger than life
God gave my my stripes
Tried to penetrate my soul
But the cracks in my stone
Just shed my light 
Whatchu say?
Y’all alright?
I’m attentive to the tension, boy 
You can cut that shit wit’ a knife
Word to my wife (ugh!)
Gotta rider by my side (ugh!)
Risin’ high wit’ them tides (ugh!)
Spirit on do or die (ugh!) 
Tag teamin’ on the system,
Committed to build a nation to defy, (ugh!)
Feedin’ negus’ what they truly needin’ 
They don’t need permission just to thrive (ugh!)

I’m a leviathan
Give my bouquets like a Hyacinth
Not for admirin’
Elevate souls til they higher than
You say you spit fire, man? (Hm)
Guess I’m a fireman
If it ain’t inspirin’
All you loud muthafuckas be quiet then

I’m a leviathan
Give my bouquets like a Hyacinth
Ain’t for admirin’
Elevate souls til they higher than
You say you spit fire, man? (Hm)
Guess I’m a fireman
If it ain’t inspirin’
All you loud muthafuckas be quiet then

(Shut the fuck up)

Shut the fuck up

(Shut the fuck up)

Shut the fuck up

(Shut the fuck up)

Shut the fuck up

(Shut the fuck up)

Aah, Shut the fuck up!

Sick of the nonsense 
Spittin’ poison on the conscience
Sellin’ low vibes wit ya feaux tribes
Ya need mo’ life in ya content
Soundtrack of the walkin’ dead
Don’t even know what the hell you said
And I bet you don’t, I bet you won’t 
Time to put the foolishness to bed (YUH!)

I’m a leviathan
Give my bouquets like a Hyacinth
Not for admirin’
Elevate souls til they higher than
You say you spit fire, man? (Hm)
Guess I’m a fireman
If it ain’t inspirin’
All you loud muthafuckas be quiet then

I’m a leviathan
Give my bouquets like a Hyacinth
Ain’t for admirin’
Elevate souls til they higher than
You say you spit fire, man? (Hm)
Guess I’m a fireman
If it ain’t inspirin’
All you loud muthafuckas be quiet then

Forever ft. A.J. Throwback & Tabou TMF

This self-produced track by PATH P is a love letter to self in the face of a history of injustice, violence, hate and overall epigenetic pain leading right up to 2020 geared towards peoples of African decent on U.S. American soil. 
Despite the myriad of contributions to the U.S. American historic landscape - including literal blood, sweat and tears - there has been no true reciprocity that compensates for it all as marches and protests still exist in resistance to the same violence and injustice Black communities have faced over hundreds of years. 
Beyond anger and sadness lies pure exhaustion... And with that comes a choice to be made for the betterment and necessary, long overdue healing of the Black American community. 

"Love is Love and if we truly get to Love ourselves, that means walking away from all tables where that love, respect, dignity, loyalty and authenticity is no longer served (if it ever really was)." - PATH P

Walk Away

Rise up all you mighty people
It’s time to come together now
Cover your brothers, sisters 
Fathers and mothers
Revolution’s comin’ round
Time to define what’s equal
Primed more than ever 
To fight the forces of evil
Won’t ever let them try to infiltrate again
Anytime they fakin’ peaceful
Fell for the okie doke for long enough
Faith in the system, time to hang up 
Faith in the village, time to build it up
Everything we stand on’s built wit’ our blood
So it’s only right we stand strong 
With our divine people in a Kingdom of Love
You feel that? 
Things’ll never be the same
All we have to break is our chains


(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)

(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land


Only you can love you more than I do
I see the God in you more than eyes do
Create culture, what our collective vibes do
You can’t fight the feelin’ if you tried to
It’s ingrained in ya spirit
Calls of the ancestors, I know you can hear it
The pot is boilin’ over
It’s time for us to eat, young soldier!
There’s a war outside
Stand proud, don’t go blind with pride 
God’s will stands on our side
Truth in the flesh
Laws of the spirit be the guide
Let the U-N-I-T be the reason why
We don’t have to see more of our people die
At the hands of the morally corrupt
See heaven in ya melanin &
In your inner God, trust

(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(Say it again!)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land
(What’s the plan?)
The blood, the people, the land

My freedom is here 
My freedom is here
They comin’ unhinged
Cuz my vision is clear

My freedom is here 
My freedom is here 
They comin’ unhinged
Cuz my vision is clear

My people is here
Our freedom is here
Speaking truth into power
Cuz this more than our year

My people is here
Our freedom is here
Speaking truth into power
Cuz this more than our year

Tighten up the stronghold on your story
By any means
On the road to truth and justice
You can’t let ya guard down for a second
Remember that your mind’s a deadly weapon
Afrikan, this is the check in
The closer you get to knowin’ yaself 
The closer you get to knowin’ ya blessings
The dominant narrative, man, it ain’t havin’ it
So to yourself and to your people
Be the biggest advocate
No need for magic tricks
You’re far from average
That’s why the war’s an ongoing one
If you ain’t careful, they’ll make your
Biggest enemy out to be 
Your brother or your son
Really any given loved one
The road’s a long one 
The journey’s only begun
But allow me to walk beside you
We can lead the way together
Let your heart, spirit & knowledge guide you
And trust and believe the evil forces
Won’t divide you

Only wantin’ the best for them
Though it might be the death of me
Our downfall, they invested in
So I’m gon’ fight with what’s left of me

Freedom calls and I’m answerin’
Cuz peace lies in the depths of it
Truth is all that I’m livin’ in
Won’t let their lies get the best of me

It’s time to prepare for the future
Be unapologetically the 
Blackest human being you could be
That don’t mean the characters 
You see on TV screens
Or movie scenes crafted through the lens
Of eyes never meant to truly see 
You in mind in any conversation of humanity
Our social landscape is pure insanity
Egotistic, disconnected vanity
Racism, sexism, exploiting
Of Black & Brown People’s
From their bodies to their labor
For Liberty, our self love & trust’s
A healthy wager, bet on Black
Matter fact … 
We can leave that whole identity alone
Since it serves as a way to disconnect 
from our journey home
Never let ‘em see you sweat 
You stand on the backs of giants
A Godly alliance 
To put the trauma to an end
You can never forget
To change history
Truth sides with the oppressed


Only wantin’ the best for them
Though it might be the death of me
Our downfall, they invested in
So I’m gon’ fight with what’s left of me

Freedom calls and I’m answerin’
cuz peace lies in the depths of it
Truth is all that I’m livin’ in
Won’t let their lies get the best of me

Nina said…
How could I not reflect the times?
I am a child of of the zeitgeist
I’d be remiss to not hold the line
Griots before me are fading
They either dead
Or they sick and tired
So who gon’ hold stories
Of truths not so self evident
In the face of my peoples trials?
Young man, old man, shot down
Daughter, sister or a mother 
Slammed to the ground
Now my people can’t breathe
Cuz they fightin’ for their life
In they muthfuckin’ sleep
Cuttin short a Black scholar’s dreams
After livin’ daily nightmares
Can’t even shop, white women
Goin’ full Karen
On my Black ass
Date brothas darker than me
Don’t mean you might pass
Back off for I go Gandalf 
Speak a language they might understand
Since the cries of oppression of pain
Don’t resonate, don’t know how else
To make it simple and plain
Won’t hesitate to call the cops
Hashtags for my name
Cuz they see my Black skin as a threat
That melanin, I’m as rich as they get
So they all want a piece of the strange fruit
Swingin’ in the breeze
When they can’t aim and shoot

My ancestors said they gon’ be right back
I’m they wildest dream
Ain’t no question I’m gon’ fight back
The vibes don’t lie when I lift my fist high
If another brother die
We gon’ light this shit on fire (that’s no lie)
They don’t want peace
They just want blood
Want us to tap dance 
But I do the Kanye shrug
‘Merica ain’t been great
Tryna make me hate the ones I love
Mansa Musa, Shaka Zulu, Malcolm X
They the plugs, that’s what’s up 

Nina said...
What’s freedom? No fear.
I felt that... So be clear
2020 Breonna swore this was her year
We should be runnin wit’ Ahmaud
Not for him
Why’s death the reason
The world saw George Floyd?
Sean Reed to Sean Bell
Been livin’ in Hell
Indoctrination had as all fall 
Under the spell 
In the land of deceit
Home of the depraved
150 years later, reconfigured the slave
Billionaire status
Still a nigger in the eyes
Of those in blue wit’ badges
Then they wonder why we bare arms
It’s The Hate that U Gave to our babies
Killed their dads, left their mom’s to go crazy
Systematic deconstruction of a people
Freedom gon’ ring, our Sankofa gon’ see you

My ancestors said they gon’ be right back
I’m they wildest dream
Ain’t no question I’m gon’ fight back
The vibes don’t lie when I lift my fist high
If another brother die
We gon’ light this shit on fire (that’s no lie)
They don’t want peace
They just want blood
Want us to tap dance 
But I do the Kanye shrug
‘Merica ain’t been great
Tryna make me hate the ones I love
Mansa Musa, Shaka Zulu, Malcolm X
They the plugs, that’s what’s up

Nina

Baldwin ringin’ in my head 
Tryna push me to the edge
Make sure all my friends are dead
Til I grab a lil Uzi
Pump em all full of lead
Gotdamn the propaganda
Of another angry Black man
Ghosts on my back man
Play the game like pac man
I’m after all I can for them
Flow regal as a kaftan, feet on ottomans 
Do this for the kids, make it easier for them
So me and those before me been sacrificin’
Scaled the walls to attack the titans
Shocked ‘em all like a crash of lightnin’
Been preparing through the storm for the calm
Pressed pause on the world 
To hold it in our palm
Take it to the hole 
That’s word to LeBron
Goin’ for the gold
Til we stand as champions
Make history with a new freedom song
Lately…
Been tired as ever
These colonizers don’t seem to know better
Civil Rights movement is in a new era
Think we still niggers, so time to meet Neter
I’m the intersection of God and Truth
So I keep in mind what I’m kickin’ to the youth
They the pathway to the next generation
So epigenetic pain will sign its resignation, Today
If I have somethin’ to say about it
All the elders, they done prayed about it
Our ancestors made a way up out it
Children of the sun 
Gon’ bring a new day around it, yeah
Cuz’ resilience courses deep in our veins
We gon’ wash away tears of joy in the rain 
Went and killed our leaders 
Cuz you thought that would defeat us
Let me tell ya...
Muthafucka we just gettin warmed up
But I won’t let my anger consume me
Your ignorance, it does not move me
Wanna see my rage 
like I’m Django unchained 
Gettin’ even with any Candies & Stephens
Puttin’ dirt on my name
Nah, you won’t get the satisfaction
Feenin’ wit ya hoods out
Time for some action
Last thing they want’s a united front
A self governed diasporic landscape
Standing proudly in the face of a system
That thought they could bury us
We the seeds birthing new age warriors
Trust ya pandemonium won’t worry us
We gone flourish up
Black Excellence is bubblin’!
I can hear the drums comin’ in
I can feel Egun comin’ in!
I can feel Egun comin’ in!

Ignorance and power? that’s lethal
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people

They tryna make us lose our minds
Keep us in a rage all the time
So we stand, protest and we march and we fight
Stand together on them Black frontlines

Ignorance and power? that’s lethal
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people

They tryna make us lose our minds
Keep us in a rage all the time
So we stand, protest and we march and we fight
Stand together on them Black frontlines

Baldwin

{ LYRICS }
Sometimes I wonder what would happen
Had Shirley Chisholm become the president 
Hmm...
Man, if X was still alive, if MLK was still alive
Fred Hampton, Huey P
How would we as a people be?
Would we walk a little taller?
Stand our ground a little firmer?
Raise our fists a little higher?
Own our skin a little prouder?
Be unapologetic in our power?
Hold our fam a lil’ tighter?
Create futures a lil’ brighter
For the youth?
Would we own and speak the truth
As it’s been delivered by the 
Griots of our history?
Not a Media dedicated to our
Deconstruction and misery
Would we love a little deeper?
Create bonds a little stronger?
Brotherhood & Sisterhood
It takes a village to right wrongs of
All the transgressions that have 
Stood against our being
...And yeah they stand against our being
But would we do our best to fight 
when the high of this feeling’s fleeting?

Would we do our best to fight 
when the high of this feeling’s fleeting?

Would we do our best to fight 
when the high of this feeling’s fleeting?

I pray amidst the confusion we find the meaning…

So we can put in practice 
The reshaping of our world
That’s been shaken off its axis
A deep seated celebration of our Blackness
Seems to been the only element
Standin’ in the way of peaceful and equitable coexistence
But through this innerstanding of our
Generational withstanding
It serves no purpose 
to negotiate with racists 
To draft treaties with domestic terrorists
To break bread with maniacal,
Genocidal, sociopathic, willfully ignorant
Narcissistic bigots wagin’ war on our pigments
Psychologically and biologically 
Designers of social dichotomy 
Now, I don’t know about you
But I will NOT be treated like an anomaly 
For loving me and those who look like me
And stand in kind 
We’ve long been out our minds 
Feelin’ we’re out of time
But trust that healing & freedom is on the line

Trust that healing & freedom is on the line

Trust that healing & freedom is on the line

Trust that healing & freedom is on the line

So grab on, please hold it, and never let it go

So grab on, please hold it, and never let it go

So grab on, please hold it, and never let it go

Stay awakenin’ ‘cause it’s a long road to woke...

The power is in the journey 
Not so much the destination…
But, DO have one!
The WHY will emphatically inform the HOW
The WHEN is now 
The WHO is us 
The WHERE is here 
And the WHAT ... Is always in our hands

So stand up

Freedom is in our hands, so stand up

Freedom is in our hands, so stand up

We have everything that we should stand for

Why do I say that you ask? Well...

‘Cause My Black is Beautiful

My Black is Beautiful

My Black is Beautiful

My Black is Beautiful

My Black is Beautiful

My Black
