LYRICS 
"Where being black is a daring deed
Where the most corrupt destruct
They breathe the air you breathe on the daily 
Where the construct of trust is of no need
Where without greed success a rarity 
Sprouts a soldier in disguise as a product 
The one who garnered clarity before he even got up to observe
A reality perturbed, Word to mama 
Citizen turned target
Cynic turned martyr 
Art of war developed in my psyche
Barter second nature for insight on whats unlikely
Ripe as the behavior of a man who’s died
one too many times 
fuck a savior nigga, fuck a favor, fuck ya paper nigga
wheres yo mind?
for years folks been blind choking on their disguise
hoping the skies would open up golden doors to those who abide
the reach for whats internal don’t come close to the eternal 
stepping outside yourself like wandering inside 

(Chorus)

Unapologetic in his very nature
Better Save ya breath for the paramedics later
Ice cold blooded nigga 
Both battling a war outside and in
Times be looking grim for him
Type to make ya neck sound like a rimshot
Cops watch and mock his running skills and sick hops
They think Big lipped dummy, nappy head, ripped socks
Interest locked on pussy and getting guap
No one fucking with him 
Look in his eyes and see years and years of brutality, casualties, tragedies hazardous mental faculties orchestrate the cacophony 
Constantly charged with battery, rape, drug dealing irresponsibly, locked in steel gates 
Places his faith in the almighty still
Lost sight of willpower 
Still driven to push sour In order to rock ill linen
Hell stick somebody especially if they timid
Foreign niggas pose opportunity for Forgiveness"

ANTEBODY ft. Amani Fela [2017 redo]

The over arching concept behind this song is about finding your own lane and trusting in it. It's about finding yourself and not conforming to the pressures around us. For me, my sound and musical identity has always been in between the soul music that I grew up on and the jazz that I have studied and grown to love. So I wrote this song to say, that it's okay to be a little different. We should embrace our uniqueness and follow through with it.

Lyrics
Do you worry bout everything
Afraid you ain't got the tight game
Do you feel just a little too plain
Compare yourself to whats his name

So you jump through a gang of rings
Bloody murder as we point the way
Huffin' and puffin' all day
A trife aristocratic game

Find love in a special way
Hustle called day to day
You don't have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)
You don't have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)

And we bite with stolen teeth
Clattering in finery
Baseness glimmers all day - we're going
Crazy over shiny things

Jokers in a marketplace
Punish virtues and forgive mistakes
Command yourself or obey
Damaged goods around the way

Find love in a special way
Hustle called day to day
You don't have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)
You don;t have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)

Find love in a special way
Hustle called day to day
You don't have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)
You don;t have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)

Find love in a special way
Hustle called day to day
You don't have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)
You don't have to lose the game (have heart like a tangerine)

The Game

This is an edited version of D'Angelo's cover of Black Hole Sun. I noticed some pitch distortion in the drums of the original, as well as the obvious high pitched vocals so slowed it down a little and eq'd ever so slightly. 

This may be what the original cover sounded like. It is also completely possible that it is not, really I have no idea.
