Lyrics:
[Intro]

They say you gotta work 10x harder
Be 10x smarter
10x better
Just to have half a chance
Cause I'm black
But I know who I am
De Marcus Rashad

[Verse 1 - De Marcus Rashad]

Is it because I am Black
Cause I am free
That you love murdering me
Is it because your afraid
We use to be slaves
and now we are modern day kings
Is it because we've survived
Your genocide
You show you hate us inside
wondering how could we, Why?
Fearing we'll rise
Cause we're the children of gods
No need in hiding the truth
Cause we all know
it is no secret to us
You'd whether see us enslaved or see us encaged
Thats why you lock us in cuffs
One thing I know it is burning me up
you leaving us dead in the streets
It could be me
Murdered for living while black
Thats why I scream fuck the police

[Hook]

Is it my strength? 
Is it my stride? 
Why are you scared
Scared for your life? 
Are you afraid
that we may find out the truth? 
Afraid for our lives
Seems we don't have much too lose.... 
Cause a nigga too black!
Is it cause a nigga too black?
Is it cause a nigga too black?
Is it cause a nigga too black?

[Verse 2 - K Harris]

Black on black
Like Fred Hampton and Huey P
You spent a lot for that Louie V 
Now who was he?
Do u know of the name u representing?
Or do you not ask questions before spending?
You ball hard but came from humble beginnings
Got everything you ever wanted now you think you're winning 
You lust, sinning and love believing that your good
Came up a lil bit now you shitting on ya hood
Can't tell the difference between wants and needs
So you buy everything you see 
Enticed by your greed 
It's the life indeed 
but does it keep your sanity
Insane buying chains exploiting your own vanity
Staying strapped prepared for any altercation 
No contemplating
Use it without a thought of hesitation
And if you gotta give dat chain you
Will die for them materials obtained bruh

[Hook]

Is it my strength? 
Is it my stride? 
Why are you scared
Scared for your life? 
Are you afraid
that we may find out the truth? 
Afraid for our lives
Seems we don't have much too lose.... 
Cause a nigga too black!
Is it cause a nigga too black?
Is it cause a nigga too black?
Is it cause a nigga too black?

[Verse 3 - Pope Adrian Bless]

Joe Clemmons, my nigga 
How you feelin, bull?.
Emmitt Tilt-A-Whirl riding in this carnival
Ferris wheel and deal with death 
Merry go round
Here's a round clip of old films that we shooting now
Tell me why the cage bird sings in a hollow verse
How to kill a mockingbird sound when I see a hearse
Jim Crow tryna pigeon toe tapping at my doe (door)
Napping underneath The railroads 
Til our bodies hurts
Catch me in the crossfire
Triple K (KKK) tire swings singing on the poplar (tree)
Tree of life planted as the bell tolls
Shawn Michaels kick the whole bullet as he drops
Cop killing stick to ribs like Velcro 
Scared for Taheem and (st) Taaliyah 
It's a scary thing
Bury me alive 
Cherish me until I'm bleached out
Looking for a scary scene 
Tell my brothers reach out
God gave us everything 
Hatred got us leeched out

Listen to One's second single "Brother" featuring Jo Universal (twitter.com/universallyjo), and Devon Ginn (twitter.com/yoDevG).

Brother will be featured on the "Antinomy EP", the second installment of the Rude Awakening EP series, due out in March 2015.

[Verse 1] 
Repression 
Oppression 
As far as recollection/ 
Mama's in the kitchen praying against empty blessings/ 
She's stressing 
No resting/ 
Is she in this world alone 
Cause the man with the land 
Has the upper hand/ 
Legal contraband 
Power based off bands/ 
THE DOLLAR! 
In this land of valor 
Kill us by the hour/ 

[Hook] 
Where's my Brother (8x) 

[Verse 2] 
Where's my brother 
When I need some soul to loan/ 
Where's my brother 
When I stray away from home/ 
It's so easy to see 
There's no God in me/ 
Was I made to make it on my own 
Where's my brother (falsetto) 

[Hook] 
Where's my Brother (8x) 

[Verse 3] 
Brother baggage 
Merely vertebrae in this city of backbone 
And the wrinkle in ya laughter don't iron it out just yet 
We've got closets to clean 
And clothes to put away 
And secrets to fold 
We can't walk across water with bare feet like skipped river stones 
Help ya brother cross the river and you shall reach the other side as well 
Back broken – 
we token the breath of deity 
see in me
swollen carriage of brother
Hiding truth
a plot you refuse to follow 
And you don't know where you'll go 
And that's OK 
I'll show you the way 
You're too religion 
Not enough water 
Iron sharpens iron 
As man sharpens man 
Let this breeze catch fire 
Unlearn the false truths used to colonize and enslave the smile in your melanin 
BROTHER 
Brother 
brother... 

[Hook] 
Where's my Brother (8x)

As Is (EP)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
what you do to me
it's so new to me-
I'm still wishing I 
Had
An angel in my life
That I would've treated right
In the past-

Bridge:
I feel connected with
your soul/
Your love for me
Is so pure/

Chorus:

Sometimes I wish I wasn't 
always on your mind-
Girls like you
Make me wanna change my life-
Girl you're amazing
You don't even have to try-
My love ain't perfect 
for your soul
More like Rose Gold/

Verse 2: 
Forgive me for my-
Transgressions-
My confession 
is in your soul-
Baby you know 
I can feel your love 
From nine planets away-
And I hate the fact 
I'm causing you this pain

Bridge:
I feel connected with
your soul/
Your love for me
Is so pure/

Chorus:

Sometimes I wish I wasn't 
always on your mind-
Girls like you
Make me wanna change my life-
Girl you're amazing
You don't even have to try-
My love ain't perfect for your soul
More like Rose Gold/

Rose Gold

So you don't know me and that's okay.
But after today
Its a good chance that you will.

I see you Robert!

Here we go.

I remember 
Being ten years old
Watching my mom walk out that door
Watching my mom go hit that road
It was cold
Felt like 
20 below
Headed to New Orleans for a trip
She got caught up
She gotta prove her innocence
Left me and man to be
Left me a man to be
Left me a boy to look after my sister
She was eight years old 
A week in that house alone
Eating okra and oats 
Going to school
And, and, and trying to be cool
Like we maintaining
This shit is nothing
I'll deal with my emotions
After this is over
It's too bad I never did
No time to hurt
Cause I'm just trying to live

I just wanna come in peace
I feel like an alien 
I come in peace
I told you that I
Come in peace
Bitch I am an alien
I come in peace

Look
I was emotionally disconnected
But it wasn't all sad
I hit 14 and lost my brother
Y'all that shit hurt bad
Well I wasn't quite 14
And he wasn't quite 30
You took him a few weeks before his birthday
Felt You did him dirty
My brothers still hurting
Trying to figure out
Who gon lead the family
Mom in prison
We wit Granny
And my Dad ain't handy
I didn't know what else to do
I got lost in music
I tried to sell my beats in Dayton
But they wasn't moving
Everybody could see potential
But I couldn't see it
I was feeling super discouraged
I just couldn't beat it 
But I'm a survivor 
So I knew it was a way out
If Zapp survived 
I could survive
I'll take the same route
2007 
I had found my destination
2014
I was done with playing games and
I'm thankful to the place that helped me feed my seeds
And it all started when I told you bout my dreams

I just wanna come in peace
I feel like an alien 
I come in peace
I told you that I
Come in peace
Bitch I am an alien
I come in peace

Rude Awakening is what got me in that chair
Antinomy is what got me out of there
Major studio
I did the work with MFT
EP in a weekend
Yea that shit had set me free
And then after that
I planted Seeds with No Co Sign
I signed on lines
When I dropped that time
They kept they word
And every obligation
It was true
But I couldn't stick with that format
So I had to move
As Is EP
Yea that shit was all me
Shout out to
Swan and Baby Ebony
Only features on that joint
It hit like all 3s
Damn
How the fuck could I forget 3?
Damone Tyrell
Look I love you bro
Keep going far
Illuminate the people baby boy
You a star
If I don't live to see 30
I'm a feel its too early
But I'm at peace with the life I've lived thus far 

Only because I came in peace
I feel like an alien 
I come in peace
I told you that I
Come in peace
Bitch I am an alien
I come in peace

Things to Come

Peace

Tell me how far
Ar you would go
For the love
For the money
Would you forget 
All that you know
For the love 
For the dough
Tell me how far 
Ar you would go
For the love

Would you give up
Part of your soul
For the love

Uhn
How you gon make it on your own
They all be talking like they know
Like they know
Like they had known you from before
I guess nobody ever knows
You always knew that you would blow
Cause you connected to your soul
To get that check you hit the road
Yea
Now I got 
Too many moves to be made 
To be stunting what you doing
And I got 
Too many blessings on the way
To be stressed about some hate
Oh I know they love me tho
Some of em just mad 
Because they want me close
I live my life for me
Not you and yours
I'm not the same me from a year ago
No

Tell me how far
Ar you would go
For the love
For the money
Would you forget 
All that you know
For the love 
For the dough
Tell me how far

Would you give up
Part of your soul
For the love 
For the dough

Uhn
No overnight success
When you come up
No matter what you do
You fuck it up
Feel like you touched on
Everything that's broke
Ain't no such thing as
Midas in yo touch
Got all that money
But can't give it up
Front all you want
But we all know what's up
You think you'll never ever
Have enough
But you don't know
You've always been enough
Yeah yeah yeah
But you don't know
You've always been enough
Yeah yeah yeah

Tell me how far
Ar you would go
For the love
For the money
Would you forget 
All that you know
For the love 
For the dough
Tell me how far 
Ar you would go
For the love
For the money
Would you give up
Part of your soul
For the love 
For the dough

Working two and three jobs
To make ends meet
I work god damn hard
For this money
I guess they think 
I wrote all of these songs for free
Hope you love them
But I did it for my peace

Love and Money

Of all these people
Acting like they cannot see the evils

But pick a side
If you respect her and love her
Then you ride

She's an old soul

And that's okay
Cause she was searching for the real thang
In a lover
Now she trying out her own thang

I am stronger than I give myself credit for

I am a money magnet
Only good things happen to me 
Even when they appear bad
Affirmations
For trauma

Wanted to get away
Got so sick of the pain
So I

All the pain that

For the love of the dollar
You wanna holla
But instead you wanna 

Put us in a collar
And tell us
that we don't deserve this
Like we nervous
Tryna take us out of our existence
Take us out of our 
Environment
To put us in environments we don't belong in

We started this
This was ours
Robbed 
Pillaged 
Raped
And you wanna mistake us for great
We not great
We Gods

Trauma
Trauma
Trauma
Why you gotta be so hard on me
Oh I see
Its cause yo space ain't here
As you deal with your

Trauma
Trauma
Trauma
We just wanna be free
The way that we always been free
Until you came with that

Trauma
Trauma
Trauma
Why you gotta be so hard on us
Shit I guess we didn't fight hard enough
Cause we 
Deal with 

Trauma
Trauma
Sold off and enslaved
Just to see our youngins raised in this 
Trauma

I am stronger than I give myself credit for
I am worth more than I give myself credit for
I am connected to a divine existence that guides myself
I am a money magnet
Only good things happen to me 
Even when they appear bad
Affirmations
For trauma

Trauma

This screen can't connect how I feel inside
Its hard I can't be right there by your side
I smile to pretend that its all alright
Disconnected 
Lost connection

This screen can't connect how I feel inside
Its hard I can't be right there by your side
I smile to pretend that its all alright
Disconnected 
Lost connection

It's been about a week or two
Week or two
Just hit my line
I'll tell you everything you wanna know
Know
I'll give you every bit of truth
Bit of truth
I practice what I'm gonna say to you when I'm alone
See I don't know a damn thing baby
I don't know a damn thing
Thought I was strong enough to 
Carry on
You make it look so easy
Hey
You looked so happy 
Last time that we talked

I pour a drink for me and you
Me and you
But I'm alone when I do that
Won't let the space separate us
Separate us
Went out to get it I'll be right back
It seems like everything I do is selfish
I ain't selfish
Feels like I've made a whole bunch of mistakes
Made mistakes
I trust that it's all for the best but
That don't make it any easier to process 

This screen can't connect how I feel inside
Its hard I can't be right there by your side
I smile to pretend that its all alright
Disconnected 
Lost connection

This screen can't connect how I feel inside
Its hard I can't be right there by your side
I smile to pretend that its all alright
Disconnected

Strangers say a lot 
But they hardly speak
Hardly speak
Say what's on your heart that's the biggest thing
Biggest thing
We say always we cool when we know we ain't
No we ain't
Always playing games to run from the pain
Its a road block between us
Yeah
A wall that can't come down
Down 
Down 
Down
It feels like time is against us
We're overdue for a real sit down
Yeah

I pour a drink for me and you
Me and you
But I'm alone when I do that
When I do that
Won't let the space separate us
Separate us
Went out to get it I'll be right back
It seems like everything I do is selfish
I ain't selfish
Feels like I've made a whole bunch of mistakes
Made mistakes
I trust that it's all for the best but
That don't make it any easier to process 

This screen can't connect how I feel inside
Its hard I can't be right there by your side
I smile to pretend that its all alright
Its all alright
Disconnected 
Yeah
Lost connection
Yeah

This screen can't connect how I feel inside
Its hard I can't be right there by your side
I smile to pretend that its all alright
Disconnected 
Lost connection
