The Havilland Savage Theory has reached nearly 7,000 people in 2 months. The ONLY reason I bring up the numbers is because last year I released six projects & got 12,000 downloads. In 2011 I've reached half of that with only one. I'm excited, some would call that "enlarging my territory"...I call it faith, favor, hard work & dedication....but ANYWAY
In the midst of the Havilland Savage Theory, there was still an untold story. Still unanswered questions. Still some things I wasn't able to say under the project's original concept. So I'm dropping a bonus EP entitled "The Residue" this April & this is the 1st single from it.
I'm supposed to be taking a break. My life is way more important than these rappity raps.
Then Monday night happened.
I'm at my house, watching TV & my man Doc hits me on twitter like "the All Of The Lights remix has an open 16 at the end...you should do that". My mind is like "break...break...break..." but the rapper in me is like "rappity...rappity...rappity...". So I figure since I had an hour before Monday Night RAW, I'd humor myself & see if I could write & record a verse in 60 minutes. Doc was also up to mix, so why not??
Light in the dark, illumination Chasing that thing between her legs'll ruin your nation
Because we know behind every great fall of man, a woman was somewhere lingering...whether it be physically or mentally, they're normally apart of the equation. No shots...
The frequency's in the air, tune to the station
Metaphor for the Holy Spirit & submission to Christ
OD'd on the red pill, now you're in the matrix Was losing my patience, using you as a muse Knew that you was the truth Skewing my view of the spaceships
The theme of this freestyle is perception. How you see things is how you position yourself to handle them. A "Muse" is something you reflect on in silence...I'm reflecting on God (knew that you was the truth), who was rearranging everything I thought I knew about life (skewing my view of the spaceships)
Tried to move & then "poof" lights low But the Christ in my life is a light show With the right glow, Without the ice, no Write it down, take a picture for the slide show I separated myself without an iso The ball is in my corner dunno where it might go She was like yes, I was like, no
Soon as I tried to move out of the will of God, I was out of wack (lights low). But in Him there is a reflection of Him that is in me...I made a decision to leave old things behind (separated myself without an iso) & I'm living on faith (the ball is in my corner, dunno where it might go)
I was sick of the chills Trying to get a grip on the slickest of wheels I tried to run away, but she's MMSing me pics in her heels
Once again, using women as an example of my humanity despite the God in me
I've lost my love, wish I could feel No more fear of fear here's a list of my thrills Wait, slow down, let me chill & be still No need to brag on the illest of skills No coughin or sneezin' They walking & wheezing We legions apart & one day you'll start to believe me...
This actually displays me fighting my pride (which is where I am right now personally). Referring to the distance as legions apart is a reference to Legion, the demon that Jesus encounters in Mark 5. Separating myself from the darkness. Wordplay
thank you to everybody who tuned in to my 1st ustream. i played 7 songs off 5 upcoming projects I'm working on...
Tracklisting 1. I'm Not A Star 2. Good Evening (produced by Doc) 3. Forever Right Here 4. Your Hands (Remix) feat Marsha Ambrosius 5. Moment For Life (Freestyle) 6. Warriors (produced by Doc) 7. Never Going Back feat Uriah
Been wanting to put out something that wasn't in the same vein as Havilland Savage for a while (btw, we should be at 5k downloads by next week). Doc & I dropped this on a whim. My targets? Charlie Sheen, Lupe Fiasco, Manute Bol, Albert Pujols & insecure rappers...
