hello.goodbye.bonjour

[[duckwrth-rework]]

mr.nice 2 meet u

To wrap up our 510-Day lineup at Kinfolx downtown Oakland, we invited the one and only Anthony Dragons to kick it with the homies.

TBH, this man needs no introductions. He is a highly active and widely respected world tour DJ for DUCKWRTH, with bookings ranging from Asia, Europe, the UK, and The Town. His name is Dragons, so you know the mix is fire off top. As an open-format selector with a wide palette, his sets often weave through genres from Hip Hop, RnB and Soul, Dancehall, Afrobeats, and more. In this mix, he stayed true to his Bay Area roots, playing a bit of Keak Da Sneak, Mistah Fab,  1-O.A.K., and Too $hort. 

Recorded with joy, community, and homies at Kinfolx Oakland ☕️

chorus cover for duckwrth and GAWD's pray single.

pray (cover)

LOV3

Let your colors bleed, love
I’m standing here just waiting for your spark
Don’t hold back those feelings that you're made of
We can shine so bright it cuts the dark

So go off baby
And don't let go
We'll see colors that we just don't know

[glitchy, funky, wobbly drop]

The clock tock tiks
I done took a cap and got my stomach feeling toxic
Thoughtless acts of courage to be pullin' like an oxen
Locked in, now my vision getting milky sorta like a box of chocolate
Gots to stop it, droplets splash on the dash I popped in last,  
to see the colors changing fast, head rising above it's
Been a winter of change, heady deranged
Whippin the Range, enraged, but never turning the page
Upstaged by the drugs and the breeze and the leaves just changing color
To something fuller, head under covers, the drugs work wondersyour colors bleed, love
I’m standing here just waiting for your spark
Don’t hold back those feelings that you're made of
We can shine so bright it cuts the dark

[Chorus]
Your colors bleed, love
I’m standing here just waiting for your spark
Don’t hold back those feelings that you're made of
We can shine so bright it cuts the dark

Super Bounce - DUCKWRTH (JohnHernandez Remix)

i hadn't
thought much about what's next
we haven't
stood the test of time just yet
god dammit
even though ive only been obsessed
what if we sink like the titanic
and i dont win this bet

oh!

God damn she's amazing, 
Middle of the room, baby art like a painting
Step to the bass, with her body acquainting 
She might make me faint, but the pace we maintaining
Get us out of the basement, onto a plane
Get me out of this city, on the track like a train

Get us out of the basement, onto a plane
Get me out of this city, on the track like a train
Fame might come soon, but I stay in my lane
Game might end soon, don't leave me stuck on the page
No never no way

[chorus]

i hadn't
thought much about what's next
we haven't
stood the test of time just yet
god dammit
even though ive only been obsessed
what if we sink like the titanic
and i dont win this bet

baby i been searching for the TRUTH
heart yearning for the booth so sweet got a toothache, who say
that today isn't a tuesday

snooze late, on the nights i take the shoelace
express home
call me on my line, express tones
that i couldn't of thought, sippin on a tall espresso
shot me through the heart, she wouldn't she couldn't she the greatest john wooden
wouldn't have thought
to look past you
castles we build together
bad news for anyone else
oh hell

that today might just be too late
snooze wait, no more nights i take the shoelace
express home
call me on my line, express tones
that i couldn't of thought, sippin on a tall espresso
shot me through the heart, 
she wouldn't she couldn't 
she understood in
hushed tones i phoned home 
champion like john wooden

i hadn't
thought much about what's next
but yeah they haven't
seen the best of us just yet
god dammit
never thought that i would get this blessed
but i know im gonna love her
until i get lain to rest


who we are

i been
getting lost in the earth
i can't
remember why but oh god it hurts
i search
for meaning in between the short bursts
court flirts with destiny, best to be a little short, curt 

Feeling like I'm telling truth but sinking in the lies
My defiant mind flies away to do a bid of time 
On the other side of blind but exceeding expectations, 
I faced it, laced it, now it's time for a vacation
Got damn her high waisted jeans look amazing
I'm wasted on a Tuesday, do what the Blues Clues say
To get paid, hide away, like Jordan this my flu game
Flew straight through the night sunrise over a blue state
who aint 
fucking up the game
been clinically insane
so mental im deranged
hanging off the wing of planes
been feeling like the sparks
don't fly when it gets dark
god help me out my house
fore the car too old to start
embarking on a trip, i might part the red sea
and she friendly as it gets, blowing harder than the breeze
well yeah it's fucked up, that you could never be
as pedigreed as me, sitting high above the trees

[chorus]

i been
getting lost in the earth
i can't
remember why but oh god it hurts
i search
for meaning in between the short bursts
court flirts with destiny, best to be a little short, curt

I might have gotten stuck inside the mousetrap
One minute I was living, but the next you start to doubt that
Out back dreams die quicker then you fall flat
on your face better stay inside just like a house cat

[chorus]

These revisions steady twisting I been flipping through the mission
Tryna split myself to pieces while you crumble in the kitchen
If I stumble or I wonder if the pieces will be fitting
I take solace in the fact that this my talent like I'm gifted

Lifted rising through the ceiling 
Waited years to do the healing
Feeling like you never wanted me
To join in the double-dealing

i been

[chorus]

i miss you, i wish you
just really
hadn't left me all alone

baby girl 
it's true that i really do miss you
The flames from the fire aint enough to warm our home
can you forgive my prior sins atoned?
from the sand you see, to the air i breathe, i freeze alone

[verse 1]

hey baby

("hey")

every day just feels like the weekend
i sneak in through the back just peekin 
for you 
my heart be beatin, leapin, freaking
out to learn that i doubt your reason for leavin 
i'd commit treason for you
you might reverse the fucking seasons
because you postpone my shelf life
self-righteous, non violent, mask off like Mike Meyers 
you help me come out of my shell, no turtle but i'm on an island
finding ways to help out, taking off for where you lie
we might not build up all the wealth
but this love could touch the sky

[chorus]

i miss you, i wish you
just really
hadn't left me all alone

baby girl 
it's true that i really do miss you
The flames from the fire aint enough to warm our home
can you forgive my prior sins atoned?
from the sand you see, to the air i breathe, i freeze alone


[verse 2]

my heart out on my sleeve like a decorated soldier 
but you always be leaving me, my head gets heavy as a boulder
without any controller we keep playing these damn games
but all our time together had us growing like a landscaped garden

stop

girl i'd rather not watch from the distance 
if i only lived once, i'm ashamed of that existence
she's persistent, i don't put up no resistance
because with you sparks fire like a piston
and oh wait oh wait -- just listen
you and me might go the whole damn distance

[chorus]

i miss you, i wish you
just really
hadn't left me all alone

baby girl 
it's true that i really do miss you
The flames from the fire aint enough to warm our home
can you forgive my prior sins atoned?
from the sand you see, to the air i breathe, i freeze alone

alone

[verse 1]

what if i
told you i just made a million dollars
holla at your boy quick maybe push the lever full throttle
stopped drinking out the bottle back when i was just a tot
putting money in the pot the guac'll turn you horizontal
messaging my shawty pass the rock like rondo
tonight i might pull up sittin in my mitch mcconnell

[what's that?]

yeah, that's an all white ghost
these headlights bright you might need a blindfold
eyes closed laid back like a butterfly float
through the center of the city, feeling like i mined gold
light change, swerving out of control, my impulses gotta go

tap dancing to the bullshit

[chorus]

look at him
pockets getting fat like the michelin 
all this money finna buy a house in michigan
or out in portland or something in a few years we're stuntin bring the pressure like a blitz again

look at him
pockets getting fat like the michelin 
all this money finna buy a house in michigan
or out portland or something in a few years we're stuntin bring the pressure like a blitz again

[verse 2]

now in a couple years time, i might find
that my money doubled up, better yet times five
but for now i scribble rhymes in my notebook, never look down on the climb
i relax and unwind with some wine and one, two puffs of the gas
building something big so baby please give it time to come to pass
and don't harass me, marathon, not a track meet,
but i really was an all state athlete

[verse 3]

enough of all the bullshit
you fed up of all the trying
id be lying if i said it didn't make me fall silent
finding things to pick at, scratch me like a pickaxe
nah im just playing girl we go together like the irish and whiskey

six feet deep, underneath, the current pulling me briskly 
can't fix me, ambitiously risky
still finding the time to visit hank down on hicks street
brick by brick we laying down the groundwork
down to earth and never trending downward
don't mind waiting out the downpour
till we stash all of the beans up inside the bean counter

[chorus]

look at him
pockets getting fat like the michelin 
all this money finna buy a house in michigan
or out in portland or something in a few years we're stuntin bring the pressure like a blitz again

look at him
pockets getting fat like the michelin 
all this money finna buy a house in michigan
or out portland or something in a few years we're stuntin bring the pressure like a blitz again

million

[chorus]
from the day that i met you
you were downtown dancing on a rooftop
i couldn't forget you
from the start, you made my heart stop
but now it's
five years later
thinking how we made it
and this love ain't fading
no it's not
no it's not

[verse 1]
so
girl
what you really wanna do
we done came a long way from only breaking all the rules
back when i would take the train i didn't really have a clue
just a couple years later i would settle down with you
yet i kicked the plans into motion
from le bain to the stage steady causing a commotion
cause when we be together it be feeling like we're floating
on a cloud or a carpet baby i done took the potion
because lately, i been over the moon
up late first date, you were easily swooned
from ct, to NYC, you and me
now on saturday mornings, we be watching cartoons

[chorus]
from the day that i met you
you were downtown dancing on a rooftop
i couldn't forget you
from the start, you made my heart stop
but now it's
five 
years later
thinking bout 
how we made it
and this love ain't fading
no it's not
no it's not

[verse]
so, uh
do you want me to tell the truth
you might wanna buy a ticket, better yet uh maybe two
since we finna ride together, baby forward, on, and through
because you and me forever, keep it tight yeah, never loose
since we, found the keys to a garden, 
a duplex apartment, yeah don't get me started
the farthest, that two people ever wanna go
got us started on the roof, now we rolling on the flo'
so woah, please never ever ask to slow it down
i done found all my answers with you, playing around
you frown, when i leave, you can listen to my sound
we should never stay at home when we can go and paint the town

[chorus]
from the day that i met you
you were downtown dancing on a rooftop
i couldn't forget you
from the start, you made my heart stop
but now it's
five years later
thinking how we made it
and this love ain't fading
no it's not
five years later
thinking how we made it
and this love ain't fading
no it's not

[verse]
so do you wonder what the future holds
will we end up on the west coast, maybe growing old
or do we travel round the map, baby maybe spin the globe
i ain't in much of a hurry but i really wanna know
so you might need to think a little bit
in case our visions might be different, even then we wouldn't split
we can figure out our future, while we drink and shoot the shit
but no matter how we cut it girl the cake is gonna hit

[outro]
five years later
thinking how we made it
and this love ain't fading
no it's not
five years later
thinking how we made it
and this love ain't fading
no it's not

rooftop

and we might be fucked
i've had enough of your games
we're down on our luck
please don't fan the flames

the convo drift philosophical, a topical discussion
i can promise that this loud, won't cure your cough like robotussen
i ain't fussin, but i didn't come to talk you through anxiety
i tried to be more tactful, but it's hard when we be dyin' see
the world's fucked, since all that goes up come back eventually
stuck living rent-free in my head, ain't building equity
the penalty for looking past the truth and living recklessly
as senseless as it is fucked up, adding complexity
to my life, damage to the world's shared timeline
supplied by a common enemy it wasnt my guy
a lifeline untethered from the side of the boat 
wide eyed in the water better hope that you float
but if you dont
don’t matter, we can quiet the chatter
and stand back while the word burns, the planet gets shattered
the platter aint the only thing created to serve
if you feel it in your bones, know that i struck a nerve, so what’s the word

and we might be fucked
i've had enough of your games
we're down on our luck
please don't fan the flames

na na na na na na

so can we move past the obstacles, rhinoceros heavy
what do you do when the stock gets battered, the nights at Freddy’s get longer
grow somber, this is really the ending
my mind flipping, doing tricks to keep my heart from beating heavy
i done crossed the meridian, an infant, an idiot, 
across the night sky, in the dark, the arc villanous
sparks fly, embark, on a journey to start, saving the planet fore it burn, before we blazed in the park
cause i done seen wild fires, climbed mountains much higher,
im inspired by the progress that we made, growing tired 
and weary, for the first time, my eyes can see clearly
put the theory to the test, and measure progress yearly
do you hear me?

and we might be fucked
i've had enough of your games
we're down on our luck
please don't fan the flames

na na na na na na

we might be f*****

I'M DONE

ooh
they say you thinkin too literal, the raps be despicable
the physical barrier i constructed was a typical
my stature, wear the crown, i be the king of 
hypocritcals
but what happened to manners, why is everything political?
we cynical and playing with fire, reject unholy desires, while i been high i can't remember anything i admired
so tap the wire, spark the blunt, whatever get you inspired
before we hide behind the mask, like future or mike myers
take a flyer throw your hat in the ring, the chain blingin
walking tired to the edge of the brink, my plane sinkin
into no man's land, hittin notes like great 
singin', even at the bottom i stand tall like abe lincoln

[call and response]
what is this song even about?
whaat? why would i know?

[verse 2]
bitch this aint no ratatouille 
cookin up 
no chop suey 
sushi and weed for breakfast, what the fuck am i doing
i'm stewing, the pot hot, but the coffee is not brewin
i said soon you gon see me in LA like a Bruin
im not ruined quite yet, but im struggling through it
but in the meantime, i plead baby please stop doing, 
the things that are not moving, the needle, the clock choosing to shave off some seconds, so we explorin solutions 
the pollution of our minds, all a part the design
another level in the game, or a prison of mind
but all these aimless pursuins, might predict the decline
of our society, soon you and me, gon get left behind 
is that fine?
so what's the point?
is it money is it power is it love is it jesus is it weeeeed?
so smoke a joint!
and lean into to the part where none of this belongs to me
set you freeeee
from the confines, and the prisons of your mind
you sail across the seaaa
so take a long deep breath and let it be

so does the story really end or is this the next chapter
i don't wanna play pretend, or believe they'll hang my jersey in the rafters
what im after isn't money, status, climbing up the latter 
i just wanna live my life free of chatter

so who do you love? you send grace to a god up above?
are you above other people at work, who do you hug?
when you go home, alone, with your face in the mud
is there a chance that you could give it all up?
so what's the point?
is it money is it power is it love is it jesus is it weeeeed?
so smoke a joint!
and lean into to the part where none of this belongs to me
set you freeeee
from the confines, and the prisons of your mind
you sail across the seaaa
so take a long deep breath and let it be

what is this song even about

[verse 1]
battery on 20 percent
i gotta find a better reason to get out of my bed
out of my 
head, tunnel vision, got me distressed
i look ahead, to the days when i be whippin the benz
you look impatient
all of this attention's borin me
these bitches be seekin attention more than me
fakin, baby girl this ain't a forgery
one day you're gone, won't be mournin' me 
so i been lockin shit down, like a cornerback
tryna find a way to turn the tide, this ain't an almanac
all of that talkin', rollin' loud, like a 
cadillac
go until my body give out, fuck a heart attack
starting up the engine but the boat don't work
you better keep on swimming till your arms don't hurt
go bezerk, bitch it's better than just being inert
can't stop until i'm laid in the dirt, that's for sure
 
[chorus & drop]
girl you make me feel so alive
momentum guides me through the night
it's better to thrive than survive
oh my, oh my

[harmonized]
girl you make me feel so alive
your motion guides me through the night
it's better to thrive than survive
oh my, oh my

[verse 2]
i heard that you were worried that you couldn't pay your bills
listen up, wait to cash in on your check like uncle Phil
we done benefit from training up a few specific skills
til i'm on my lawn chillin, like i'm king of the hill
so what a feelin' we just had
the force done pushed back
teaching us a lesson 
you can't keep in a book bag
so what's that? 
oh you really don't care, i'm unaware, you the tortoise, bitch i feel like the hare
because inertia will guide ya, the light will blind ya, my mind go to places i can barely describe im going blind, on the way i done colored outside the lines, but i can promise that we'll be just fine, 
what a time

girl you make me feel alive (oh)
your motion guides me through the night
it's better to thrive than survive
oh my, oh my

[drop; tight negative space; vocal chops; wobble; saxophone]

[harmonized outro]
ooh!
girl, you make me feel so alive
your motion, guides me through my life
it's better to thrive than survive
inertia, i'm passing by, 
oh my oh my

An idea sprouted in monte's discord. Ima big fan of the OG Ver// DUCKWRTH ~ Coming Closer

closer

[verse 1]
at god's gates, levitatin' over leveled estates
my petty fate, navigatin through this devilish maze
i need a break, meditate, if im willing to wait
my mindstate, switch pace, get away from decay
i play the bearer of bad news, the bringer of death
i interject, i have to, collect on a debt
i overstep, the path you choose, incorrect
redirect fore the ship get wrecked

[chorus]
i need a second to reflect on on the fact that we all gon die
i get depressed, overslept, ain't no asking why,
it's a sign of the times, 
i pray high to a god oh my (oh my),
primed to accept all these flashin lights (oh why)

[verse 2]
im fine, but my mind is distant
i fly by the whole damn solar system, inefficient
so dismissive, i can't be
how i keep it civic if im whippin a camry
so can we breathe? trip overseas
im in belize for weeks, my lady can you believe
that what we NEED to BE FREE / to get a repreive
is but a deal between the devil and me.

[chorus]
i need a second to reflect on the fact that we all gon die
i get depressed, overslept, ain't no asking why
it's a sign of the times, 
i pray high to a god oh my (oh my),
primed to accept all these flashin lights (oh why)

[verse 3]
but i hate the darkness, the spark is gone
and the car is parked, shit im all alone
i left home, went east, all across the zones
coast to coast, i hop on, off the road
but i hate the darkness, i sold my soul
im in the park, shit i'm on my own
i don't phone enough, can't be
bothered to go
till my conscience start grabbin ahold

[chorus]
i need a second to reflect on the fact that we all gon die
i get depressed, overslept, ain't no asking why
it's a sign of the times, 
i pray high to a god oh my (oh my),
