lyrics

Seed to Sun
I wanna be the one
To help a freedom run
Freedom run
From a need to run
No need to run
No need to run
No need to run

Popcorn Sutton
And Moon Witch running
Down a trailway gunnin
For a break

New Day coming
Watato Drumming
Sankofa strummin'
On the Lake (Lake)

Soothsayin' nuttin,
When the noose
keeps numbin
The truth by neck
of the nape

Coon Hound
Runnin round
Speedway Circle now
Cal gotta jack up
His RATES

-------
Vs 1

Check out these infinite shapes
8 to the O to the 8
I spit the acid on bass
This is a science embraced

Black as the proof with no chase

Picture that look on they face
Sippin and Shinin in place
Stumble like "Homey
You straight?!"

I know the wait
I know the weight of these breaks
Groove & the needle
We need you, we need you
To knead though the facts
Of this case
Keep us from running in place
Keep us from running in place
I know the groove and the weight
I know the groove and the weight
Wait!

Seed to Sun
I wanna be the one
To help a freedom run
Freedom run
From a need to run
No need to run
No need to run
No need to run

Vs 2

LPB & THE CBT
in a workshop
Lunaring space

Jack got the onions
and the green peppers jumpin'
from the pot to the oven
to the plate

Popcorn Sutton
And Moon Witch running
Down a trailway gunnin
For a break

New Day coming
Watato Drumming
Sankofa strummin'
On the Lake (Lake)

Vs 2

Praise Da Lawd
Git Joy
Gwan Now
Git Boy

Real annoyed
With you Real McCoys
With your brown skin
and your PHDs
Businesses I cant oversee
Clientele too black for me
eye to eye when you speak to me?!
Hoo wee that's frustratin'
Make way for this great nation
I mean gentrification
This bus station, this dog park
and this parking lot
and these coffee shops
(Coffee shops?!!)
Green ways, mo space to walk
as I culture stomp, with my head high
as your blood dries, and your story dies
in my rear view, rear view
from town view, no town view
for most of you, most of you

this production is everything mine wants to be when it grows up. Black Atticus

Dwight Spitz (Deluxe Edition)
by Count Bass D

this joint reshaped my whole view on what hip hop albums can be and the range of how they can be structured -- it's soulful, grimey, clever, and dope all at the same time damn. Black Atticus
