In memory of my brother, who passed too soon from aggressive cancer in 2019, this song serves as a legacy piece. It's a deeply personal tribute exploring themes of loss, remembrance, and the lasting impact of a life well-lived. This one's for you, brother. You're forever missed.

This One For My Brother

Lyrics:

Peering at the sky line
Yea it’s my time,
Blazing bright on the mic,
I’m on the front line,
Feel the sun shine,
As I sing,
Soul trembling,
Hash crumbling,
As I,
Run a circuit with the words I spit,
Smoked many a spliff till my mind did split,
Now I’m tryna build skin so thick,
Let me tell you real quick,
Fuck what you think,
I’m just cruising to a melody of mine,
A soul designed,
By a hand divine,
When my soul does fly,
I pray He forgives my crimes,
And wherever I might land,
I pray it’s all fine,
Spent many a time debating these rhymes,
Halal or haram, light or fire?
I’d say it’s past time I relax my mind,
I mean you can’t deny the mic’s a lifeline,

I be knocking on your door now,
Everybody wanna show out,
I be so sound, on my way home now,
All day everyday I gotta stay so proud,
I be showing how I roll now,
One twos I be throwing now,
They want me down and out, ref on the count,
But I pick myself up keep em all proud,

I be wiling no coyote,
I be tripping no peyote,
want me missing like I’m lowkey,
But I’m feeling like I’m Kobe,
Coming back like the old me,
I still got fellas who think they know me,
But it’s all water under the basket,
I’m just tryna get me back to blasting shit,
I’m done asking shit,
I’m just tryna master this,
Duality of life and the casket,
Sometimes I’m winning,
Sometimes I sin,
Sometimes I’m living,
Sometimes it’s dim,
Sometimes I get to thinking,
Is this all there is,
And when I go there,
I get all depressed and shit,
But then,
I get a call from the fam,
A message from my dad,
A call from a friend,
And I remember then,
Even at my lowest,
I still got those who’re kin,

I be knocking on your door now,
Everybody wanna show out,
I be so sound, on my way home now,
All day everyday I gotta stay so proud,
I be showing how I roll now,
One twos I be throwing now,
They want me down and out, ref on the count,
But I pick myself up keep em all proud,

One Two’s (Prod. by B Sound Beatz)

I never got a chance to finish the original song with the producer "KENNY" before he passed but I didn't want to just sit on this amazing beat he made for me and not do anything with it. I hope you enjoy what we made together in addition to how I finished our project. 

2. 와비사비

When I wrote this, it was during a time of frustration and worry about not being a patient and good enough father. To overcome this, I thought of my grind as fighting to maintain good mental health, showing up everyday doing the little things for my family that I could while I had no immediate income coming in. 

It was a tough time and currently it still is with the economy and US relations, but I am gonna keep grindin everyday, one day at a time. 

If you are always worried about the future, you are not alone.

If you are grindin for your kids in a way a lot of people might not see, you might feel this song.

These Days

"Sobre as Cartas Não Enviadas" é o primeiro single oficial do rapper Lincoln Ribeiro. A composição foi inspirada pelo livro “Sobre a Brevidade da Vida” de Sêneca e construída sobre o clássico sample de “Castiçal” do Cassiano, usado no instrumental de "A Plate of Collard Greens" (Daylyt e J. Cole).

A faixa é um retrato honesto sobre sonhos, medos, perdas e arrependimentos, levando à reflexão sobre as relações e o tempo. Ao longo da música, essa autoanálise se transforma em uma declaração de resiliência, onde, mesmo diante das dificuldades e incertezas, o rapper escolhe seguir escrevendo e, dessa vez, compartilhando suas mensagens.

Após algumas tentativas frustradas, o lançamento de "Sobre as Cartas Não Enviadas" marca o retorno de Lincoln à música, agora com mais consciência e estrutura, sendo um chamado para que ninguém adie seus sonhos.

Sobre as Cartas Não Enviadas (sample: Castiçal)

Lyrics:

You won’t let me down again,
I won’t try to run away from you,
I’ll try and stay true,
You gon find me,

Please don’t let me down again,
I only find strength when I’m with you,
Yes it’s true,
You gon find me,

Pick apart the seams and you’ll find a man who’s believed,
I fight and bleed until I find myself free,
Ain’t no haste I’m not tryna move with no speed,
I’d rather move with grace until my soul is clean,
Some tonics are bitter but the results are sweet,
I’ve fought tooth and nail with my fate but now heed,
The beating in my heart that tells me to be at ease,
Cautionary tales but most people fail to read,
So I spit my story in sounds, I’ve flown to the top,
Fell back to the ground, 
I’ve climbed back up, 
grown and proud,
But still got a ways to go before I feel found, and I’m saying

You won’t let me down again,
I only find strength when I’m with you,
Yes it’s true,
You gon find me,

I’ll be around if you ever wanna chop it down
I mean how,
You holding up brother, it’s been a while, 
I hear you got married,
And now you got a child,
How’s the fam? Damn you saw who n did what now?
Ain’t it crazy how we’ve all gotten caught up,
Living different lives but still we tough it out,
Some on different paths, some of us growing up,
Rest in peace to those who’ve left, man I’ll see you up above,
Sometimes I wonder what it’s all about,
The push and pull, the search for love amidst the clout,
Sometimes I’m treading water, sometimes I’m in the clouds,
Sometimes I blend in sometimes I stand out,
Most the time I’m just another fella in the street,
Passing you by maybe you went and heard me speak,
Maybe you chance a glance maybe our eyes meet,
Then we go our separate ways never do we greet,
How many people cross our paths in our lives,
How many stick around how many say goodbye,
How many play a role how many just a side,
And how many only exist as a memory in your mind,

You won’t let me down again,
I only find strength when I’m with you,
Yes it’s true,
You gon find me,

Please don’t let me down again,
I won’t try to run away from you,
Yes I’ll try and stay true,
You gon find me,

Please don’t let me down again,
I only find strength when I’m with you,
Yes it’s true,
You gon find me,

If y'all dig what you hear let a brother know!
