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!

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

While They Sleep (Remix)' serves as an audio introduction to Edo Bushido; A collaborative project by veteran Indie Hip-Hop artists Substantial and Asheru (The Boondocks), DJ/illustrator DJ AAROCK and illustrator/author Micah Blacklight. Ash and Sub trade verses over a dark, melodic banger produced by Substantial with AAROCK on the cuts. Singer/songwriter, Stephanie Gayle once again lends her amazing voice to the chorus while the cover art,handled by Micah Blacklight, features the crew's mascot hovering above a teenage girl in a deep sleep surrounded by books. Lyrically, the emcees/fathers spit about sacrificing rest to ensure that their families rest easy knowing that they have provided for them. Asheru declares "Burning both ends of the candle has become a bad habit/Tunnel vision for the future and the plan to go and grab it" while Substantial raps "I ain't just writing lyrics, every night I'm fighting limits / Trying to push'em up, timing might be bad but it's good for us / Food for thought and bellies after nights when I was cooking up".

This is just the tip of the iceberg for Edo Bushido. Over the last two years, they have made live appearances at several conventions including Otakon, Momocon, Blerdon and Anime Mid Atlantic. 2020 promises more events, more music and MUCH more.
