[Verse]
You walk in with your swagger thinking you’re so rad
Borrow my rhythm then dismiss my struggle it’s sad
You wear the symbols but ignore the deeper tones
Rocking the vibe while stepping on our bones

[Chorus]
Can you hear the plea in every note we sing
Does it mean a thing or just a pretty ring
Wrapped up in glitter can you feel our voice
Is it just a costume or a conscious choice

[Verse 2]
You say it's just fashion but it’s our lifeline tight
My history’s not your latest dance move in the light
The roots run deeper than the surface you scrape
You borrow our joy but take none of our pain

[Chorus]
Can you hear the plea in every note we sing
Does it mean a thing or just a pretty ring
Wrapped up in glitter can you feel our voice
Is it just a costume or a conscious choice

[Bridge]
Stolen beats and borrowed lines can’t buy soul
You take a piece but you never take the whole
See me more than just a trend on your sleeve
My culture’s no commodity it’s what we believe

[Chorus]
Can you hear the plea in every note we sing
Does it mean a thing or just a pretty ring
Wrapped up in glitter can you feel our voice
Is it just a costume or a conscious choice

Pretty Ring (ruff draft)

Ep 57 - Love, Work & the Weight of Being a Black Woman

TON ENOD is a Los Angeles / Inland Empire based rapper, producer, poet and grown ass family man with bills. And life experience. He gives no time to the b.s. often found in street narratives. Instead, he’s a grown man’s man. Nostalgic, yet forward-leaning, his gritty syrup-sound cultivates textural, immersive experiences, beckoning listeners beneath the surface to explore rich worlds within. 

His formative years forged in the furnace of Compton, California, he learned to watch people, and look out for himself. He also learned to listen deep, and honor what he calls the spirit of things.

“It’s channeling,” he says. “It’s acknowledging and connecting with the deepest parts of me, which are close to, if not the same as, the deepest parts of you. When I’m plugged in like that, I can see and feel everything.”
