LYRICS


Na na, na na, na
Yeah, ‘Kechi
Tha Don
Chai!
Walk alone sometimes but
We’ll be aight
One two
Yo

I’m just tryna live my own truth
Own proof
Never let these motherfuckers own you
Niggas lying on you
That’s just how it is, what you gon do
Tryna write me off like my loan due
Won’t do it
Life entanglements, I comb through it
Rolling old school, ‘58 Chrome Buick
Can’t with all the clone music
Who plant the seed for these wannabes
Leave from the vine
I define the anomaly
Call me divine, I don’t mind
Know that I’mma be free from the judging hand
Me and my motherland bleed
You don’t understand
I stand tall, stay on call
Balling with my mans, may all fall
But we ain’t stalling if we already down bad
Learn that lesson on my own, had a clown dad
He was afraid of his given name, passed it down to me
Wealth from the Lord, I say it’s bound to be
‘Kechi

Walking on my own
I’m in the zone
Don’t lose it
(Just watch your step, y’know
One two)

I’m just tryna take it all
And make this music
(That’s how it is)
This music
(This one’s for you, yeah
I see you)

Feeding on sheep in wolf’s clothing
You walk alone, but you feel emboldened
Came out and stole my shit, I took it back
Chew your ass out, you under attack
Don’t trust nobody who ain’t in the pack
Wack niggas lying
Save face, gonna act like they vibing with you
Face facts, nobody crying with you
We done trying, finna do it big
Do it now
Fucking with the kid, tryna cap
Finna break the lid anyhow
Walls, doors and glass ceilings
We here just to break it down
Not like these niggas who be faking sounds
Vultures preying on you, breaking sounds
Still a dirty game, never tame with Tha Don
Can never bring me shame
But if you dare, you probably scared
Tear you down back to paper dreams
You see me walking alone, ain’t always what it seems
Always me
Beaming with my own light
Deeming it to be my own fight, uh
Dooey

Walking on my own
I’m in the zone
Don’t lose it
(Just watch your step man
Keep going
Uh, one two, yeah)

I’m just tryna take it all
And make this music
(That’s all I do it for)

Walking on my own
I’m in the zone
Don’t lose it
(Keep going)

I’m just tryna take it all
(Find a way)
And make this music
(Follow this music)
Music, music (‘Kechi)
Music

(Ride it out, uh)
Said make this music
Said make this music
Just make this music
It’s alright don’t lose it
Just make this music

Chai!

‘Kechi
Chai
Na na, na na, yeah

Early morning rising
Meditate, ain’t surprising
I see her face, in the middle of grace
She said we pacing it, taking it day by day
Call her over, hope I make her stay
I give thanks for her pretty smile
Next time that we kiss 
It gone be a while
In this moment in time
I know you not doing nothing special
So come over, make you feel special
Like the day I met you
Like the night that you let me in
Feel like making love with you, do it one mo gin 
It’s a win win
Cuz I know you wanna see me too
Laying in bed, need a better view
Cuz you brighter than the sunshine
Got better taste than a glass of wine
I wanna make you mine, so divine
Early morning on a rainy day
Make you wet, you gone wanna stay
Stick around and play

6:27 in the morning, heaven’s pouring
Life is pretty boring, but never with you
So come slide with me, stay inside with me
Vibe with me
My what a beautiful view
6:27 in the morning, heaven’s pouring
Life is pretty boring, but never with you
So come slide with me, stay inside with me
Vibe with me
My what a beautiful view

You’re my early morning rising
Forever with you
Say you’re my early morning rising

6:27 in the morning, heaven’s pouring
Life is pretty boring, but never with you
So come slide with me, stay inside with me
Vibe with me

6:27 in the morning, heaven’s pouring
Life is pretty boring, but never with you

LYRICS

Yeah
Na na
'Kechi
Chai
Reminisce on distant memories

Don Dooey, fondue-y
Look at me as I cook it up
Poetic flow like a book
Took the shit made it my shit
No shy bitch, made her my bitch
No ride or die, say we getting high
With the fam and homies that I fly with
Don’t kill my vibe if you tryna slide
There are very few that I vibe with
Stay true to my point of view
Four-eyed, that’s another two
Third eye seeing red and blue
We ain’t cool, we just playing Lu
Can’t be rich if you paying dues
New moves, made it with the crew
Lay low til we finna rule
Proof
Tune into the rhythmic melody
A lot that some people be telling me
Can’t fuck with no label that’s selling me
Wholesale of a fraud, that’s a felony
My broad stay abroad, she be mailing me
Cocoa butter, shea babe, she my ebony
Living life to the fullest, I let it be
Distant memories

One lifetime ain’t enough for the moment
Old soul with the deja vu
But I’m only
Reminisce on distant memories
Do you remember me? Baby

And the residue
That stains your mental
Be gentle with everything that remains
A bundle of pleasure to match the pain
The pressure surmounting against the grain
A broken chain, they’ll know your name
We chasing a legacy, not the fame
Creating a memory, money gains
Be making it steadily, honey dames
It’s a funny thang
They’ll say “roll with the times”
“Illuminate” then make up your mind
There’s no debate, it don’t fit the crime
Built different, won’t fit the rhyme
Velvet with the silky shine
Hellbent over who to sign
I make it mine, I take my time
I’m underground, overdue to climb
A stunner now, and my beauty fine
No runner up, say I duly grind
And keep it groovy like it’s Cooley High
We harmonize, never say goodbye
End of the road, it’s a do or die
Like Bed-Stuy, when I stupefy
Bleed on the page when they crucify me
Who define me?
No one and no one at all
Slippin Jimmy, I turn into Saul
Bend the rules, so you better call
No poker game, said I’m so appalled
Dream big and we’ll have a ball
One life to live, so I’m finna stall
A lot to give, reaching greater heights
And I’ll never fall

One lifetime ain’t enough for the moment
Old soul with the deja vu
But I’m only
Reminisce on distant memories
Do you remember me? Baby

Reminisce on distant memories
Do you remember me? Baby

'Kechi Tunez

Distant Memories

This song was created on a Sunday afternoon in August 2017. I had been drawing influence musically from a Nigerian children’s gospel song I grew up listening to when my grandma was staying with us. Still early in my writing stage (just under a year of writing music), this song came rather seamlessly. (I did make a few edits, of course, as recently as last year.)

This is one of those songs that truly has no deeper, esoteric kind of meaning. It’s the purest representation of being in tune with myself through the music. It’s a song about what music does for me on an emotional, intellectual & spiritual level and sharing that with the people.

I’d performed it live for four years —at every open mic, basement gig, and local venue I could get a chance at — before ever making the studio recording. I knew I was sitting on something special, so I took my time with it. But now is that time. And I want everyone to sing along with me.

LYRICS

'Kechi
Chai
Na na
Long time coming
Sweetest melody
It's like

 Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melodies harmonize
Don't try to criticize my vocals
That was realized through classical and local
'Kovsky and Kuti, Bilal and Beethoven
Just like Lupe, rap wasn't my first chosen
Then I became open to the rhyme, play the rhythm in my heart
Bells chime, telling my own izm like Badu
Call it 'Kechi-izm, but the shit ain't catchy
Spit my flow, can't nobody else match me
Actually it ain't just about the flow
Put the Durag on it
From the velvet to the silk, anyway I don it
This songs about what's embedded deep within
But if I go deep within her in bed then that's a sin
I knew a Sim, I hadn't seen her since
Got so cynical
Life's no Cinderella or Sims
Or wonderland like Little Simz
Anointed by Simba
But seems it ain't simple no more
I feel I'm tryna make a deal staring at three doors
Can't tell what's in store
My hands getting sore
Conga for hours, I'm soaring, I'm so empowered
Swallowing the beat cuz music is my remedy
As I sing over this melody

Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melodic dictation, ain't that a situation
Listening to inner tunes while y'all having conversation
But it ain't oral, it's aural - skills for the drums
Y'all still talking shit, block my ears with both thumbs
Ask yourself
Do you listen for content?
For the lyrical views or the musical elements?
Cuz I've spent days on the same line, the same beat
I even skip lunch time
Food for thought, my treat
Let it thaw out in my mental
Pause, reflect, repeat
Eating up the instrumental, let it thaw out in my mental
Pause
See the effect I caused
My mind's sharp like the teeth on jaws
Or the sharp on D, it fits the harmony
I fit the armor that God sent me
When the walls fall down, the final trumpet sounds
And I'll be found bound for the heavenly
As I sing over this melody

Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melody

B D'Angelo (DBL D Edit)

My grandpa passed away yesterday. Just over a year after my grandma passed away. Both are pictured in the cover. Their love was deep and special, a reflection of God.

I didn’t prep this mix — like most of my DJ sets, I just did it on the fly, but I was thinking of them while doing it. As I listen back to it, I think of their long journey together and how ultimately inseparable they were & are. So this mix tells something of a story (albeit one they probably wouldn’t approve of as staunch Catholics lmao).

They called my grandpa Enjoy. Hope I captured that spirit in this (extremely imperfect) mix. First of many.
