Beat from Tsutchie and Fat Jon "Mists" Playlist OST

"Night Sky"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6fHqYkGlSY

Chorus:
gliding through the beach in June
gazing at the full honeymoon
stardust glowing in the night sky 

Intro/Outro:
gliding through the beach in June
gazing at the full honeymoon
stardust glowing in the night sky 
nebula enveloping space time

Verse 1: x2
distant suns forming in the trillions
constellations flowing
like Orion and chameleon
light on a million year journey
from  our milky galaxy 
verifying Ptolemy
Copernicus and Galilei
leaning on a tree 
Newton writes Principia
unusual idea
invents calculus
explaining our significance 
passing his intelligence of
planetary motion and physical mechanics
expressing his devotion
Kepler's elliptical orbits
dissolving Greek mythology astrology
solidifies astronomy
revolutionizing our identity 
 
Verse 2:
basking in the night of the cosmos
feeling one with the universe
making me spit a verse
of its majesty and beauty
celestial bodies
illuminating vastness of darkness
we probe it with technology 
hoping to reach somebody 
explaining the human condition
humbling with no mysticism 
destroying all cynical criticisms

Tsutchie - Mists- Samurai Champloo  サムライチャンプルー with Lyrics

From the new Bop Alloy (Substantial & Marcus D) album 'Another Day in the Life of...'
Available on Bandcamp: bopalloy.bandcamp.com/album/another-…in-the-life-of

'Writing My Wrongs' has a dark soulful groove perfect for reflection while riding low in something classic. Substantial trades verses with Seattle rapper, Justis over a chill bounce track produced by Marcus D. The two MCs boast effortless double time flows about their mistakes, and the wisdom that came with them, while DJ Jav adds surgical cuts of the familiar Kendrick Lamar lyric "I could never right my wrongs, unless I write them down for real." Track also features an interlude from the album called 'Tokyo Improv' featuring Kenichiro Nishihara which was recording live in Tokyo, Japan. 

After a successful Kickstarter campaign that brought in over $15,000 in 20 days, Bop Alloy is set to drop their album on April 8, 2014. They will be touring briefly on the West Coast with CYNE this Spring. http://www.bopalloy.com/showdates/

LYRICS:
HOOK
Whether you can’t forget
Or it’s not that big of a deal
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real)
So I swear
(For real)
It was my bad
(For real)
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real)

Whether the issues dead
Or you’re tryna find a way to heal
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real)
So I swear
(For real)
It was my bad
(For real)
I could...
(Never right my wrongs, less I write it down for real) 
VERSE 1
This is... for every single person I hurt
Whether it was unplanned or on pur-
pose (pus)
If I didn’t own up I’m worth-
Less
This is for..
Any girl I raised my hand to, ‘Fore I realized that ain’t what a man do Thanks to my big bro, ya’ll know this manhood shit don’t come with a manual
All them record stores that I stole from
When I was flat broke and so young
So I really can’t blame y’all when y’all find my albums and download’em
Any of my brothers I stole on
Should’ve turn the other cheek and rolled on
But I mistake pride for self hate, I can now say I was so wrong Forgive me
 HOOK  

VERSE 2 (JUSTIS)
Reminisce on my younger days
Had hunger pains on those summer days
Every man for himself like Hunger Games
From a city where we don't see the sun for days
Mama had one daughter, 3 sons to raise
I was gone for days like runaways
With a blunt to blaze
Drugs I could slang to get money raised
Couple of mistakes and it's judgement day
Got cuffed up but I lucked up that the cop put the gun away
Looking back now and it must be fate
Set me free when he judged my case
Could of been in the pen or could've been killed
"I could never right my wrongs unless I'm write'em down for real"
For real!
HOOK

VERSE 3
This for the times that I was dishonest
Every single broken promise
Treating you beneath the you, you are 
When you should be regarded as goddess
For my student they laid to rest
Many days I wept
From the pain your death has caused 
Missed your requiem,
Overseas blessin’ them 
May the most high protect your soul
For them family functions I missed
Missing your dap, hug, or kiss
Hope you don’t feel dissed 
But you know the real is 
Pretty safe bet I was doing this
Even though I be ripping and running 
From trying to be something, I know you exist
I know you don’t see it
But call if you need it
Don’t wait til you’re out of your wits
And for you haters, 
Sorry that we made it, on our terms not the ones they’re making so...
Minor or major, don’t matter they’re paying as long we’re not the ones playing ho
Chased down our dreams and we made it so, though we can’t be found on the radio
But the realest, know where the real is that’s real ish most people just lazy yo
Sorry we’re not more accomodatin’, yall worried about who the stars datin’
Times a wasting our apologies this bull shit’s dominatin’
So we’re concentratin’ on innovations not nominations
With a small congregation to spread our gospel to the population!

Artist: Bop Alloy (Substantial & Marcus D) ft. Oma Pearl
Song Title: Sketches of Pain
Written by S. Robinson & O. Ichile-McKenzie & M. Marino
Produced by Marcus D

Lyrics:
VERSE 1 
Peacemaker 
Son of a violent man 
Dream chaser 
Raised on divided land 
Where thieves raped us 
Treated like I’m not a man 
Our behavior 
Like rebels without a plan 
Step false get offed by a coward’s hand 
Life’s shorter than an hour hand 
But the least of my worries is the Taliban 
Or hopin’ that they’ll pass an assault rifle ban 
Most guns where I’m from aren’t licensed fam 
The ones that are 
Usually held tight in hands 
By the cops and so called authority figures 
Cringe at my black skin while calling us nigger 
But 6 letters can't define me I'm so much bigger 
The path I walk, 
Most people can’t endure the rigor 
Back up talk 
By displaying so much vigor 
Mastered art 
The blind just ignore the picture 
Passed a tart 
But of course my portion’s bitter 
That or starve 
Cause round here they don’t deliver 
Grabbed a quart 
Rather be engulfed in liquor 
Lacked support 
And I wasn’t born a winner 
An afterthought 
These know-it-alls won’t consider 
A man of God 
Who sits upon a throne of wicker 
Who scratched & Clawed 
to reach the very point I’m sitting 
After-all 
That’s what fuels the poems I’m spitting 

HOOK 
(Substantial) 
I’ma take this pain I’ve been dealt with and use it 
This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it 
Without my music and art I’d be useless 
I always knew 
I got to do so... 
I’ma take the pain I’ve been dealt and use it 
This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it 
Without this music and art I’d be useless 
I always knew 
What I had to do 'cause... 

(Oma Pearl) 
You can’t hide from who you are 
You can’t hide from who you are 
Not even the highest peak 
The lowest place 
In every space 
You always leave a trace 
You always leave a trace 
Always leave a trace! 

VERSE 2 
Blood pressure high, 
Self-respect low 
Could be cancer inside 
Am I’m scared to know 
Lucky to be alive 
At the age of 34 
Livin’ in fast times 
Still manage to die slow 
IV pumping morphine in my bloodstream 
Woke with a scratchy throat & groggy what a rough dream 
Something’s 
Not right, nurse can you help me sit up 
Felt like I was stabbed, 
Every time I try to get up 
Hurt so damn bad, 
I can’t even cough this phlegm up 
Pain every minute 
Every moment that I been up 
When I told the fam 
They looked at me like I’m finished 
Huh! I’ll be damned 
if anything we’ll make me give up 
Wishing I was home in my chair 
Anywhere but here 
Baby girl completely unaware 
Lives without a care 
It ain’t fair 
When your child, you can’t even pick up 
But I did it for her, so I’ma keep my chin up 

HOOK 

BRIDGE 
(Oma Pearl) 
No matter what happens today 
Tomorrow the sun will rise 
We'll be there 
We'll be there 
We'll be there 
To greet the sun 
Good Morning 
Good Morning 
Good Morning 
Good Morning

Third Strike

From 'Always' [EP]

Lyrics

VERSE 1 (Substantial) 
I came into this world 
Same way I'm gonna leave it... alone. For what its worth 
Since birth... been bringing folks together for a common cause 
Not quite a bleeding heart no need to find a gauze 
Just tried to do what’s right ain’t gotta supply applause 
Just trying shed light on what they hide from us all 
Our origin story, many moments of glory 
Move forward, ain’t gotta be rewarded, the Lord has implored me 
Give’em what they need when they don’t even want it 
Keep on feedin’ souls but they don’t see they hungry 
Live a life worth remembering, the reaper’s coming 
But you’ll live forever though you might not reach your twenties 
Or your thirties, f*** a great depression 
You are worthy... of every single blessing 
Honestly, our own light is hard to see 
But every single star’s born to shine. Prophecy! 

HOOK (Fjer & Substantial) 
Always… always... 
Always… always… (Here) 
Always… always... 
Always… always... (I am here) 
Always… always... 
Always… always… (We are here) 
Always… always... 
I ain’t going nowhere… ever! 

VERSE 2 (Substantial) 
When she came into this world 
I knew I’d never leave her alone because this girl’s 
The greatest thing I created... lyrics, design or painting 
That ain’t up for debating. Look what sun maid and he raising her 
Right… so God forbid her brother man wrong her 
She roll with the struggle ‘til she come around stronger 
But her father taught her to never squander her honor 
If they don’t treat you as good or better than poppa don’t bother 
She see how I treat her mama. And before we shared that wedding cake 
I swear on my own mama you’re the best decision I ever made 
Look at what we made. On everything, I’m proud of us 
Best producer duo since The muthaphucin’ Stuyvesants 
Listen… This is parentin’ with a vision 
I swear a bit cuz that’s how Ms. Hill got us to listen 
So pardon me, busy raisin’ my colony 
This home that love built never falls, stands solidly 

HOOK 

BRIDGE (Substantial) 
Rain, sleet, hail, snow 
Will I retreat, hell no 
Can’t stop, must grow 
Won’t drop, never let go 
Rain, sleet, hail, snow 
Will I retreat, hell no 
Can’t stop, you must know… 
I ain’t going nowhere… ever 

VERSE 3 (Substantial) 
We came into this world 
With everything we need so we manage what it hurls 
Always and forever you’ll never get us to behave 
Scared to death of kings they’d rather my people be slaves 
So til hell freezes… I will resist… 
The call to hang it up as long as I am needed 
Silence your siren you woke up this giant from sleeping 
Fightin’ like we’re Tyson and titan mixed with a phoenix 

HOOK

While recording this EP, there were so many things that happened that constantly tried to break the guys down. But similar to the music they make they build on breaks. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
