lyrics

Light ... Reflects off the car glass
Bouncin' in my window while the rhythm of the cars pass
Night ... Seems longer wide awake
When I'm tossin' and I'm turnin' and I'm trynna find a way to the
Day ... But the day ain't coming
I lost another dream and it still ain't sunny and I'm
Still at it still workin'
I know I can't stop 'till the birds start chirpin'
And the sun come up but the sun still down
We can't see it if we keep on getting run into the ground
He can't breath and she can't sleep and rent gone run us out of town but
We got seeds and we gone sow em help em grow and watch em sprout
But for now I guess I'll keep pushin' carts then
Workin' in the morning in the evening I'm an artist
We get adjusted to darkness
But they could never snuff the light where the heart is

Talk less ... Do more
Let em in ... Hold the door
Is you alright ... Are you sure
We just met ... I got your back
Let's talk it out ... I got the time
I got enough ... Have some of mine
This is life ... It's humankind
One of a kind ... Is you and I

So what we doin' we just human we got fucked up back in school when
Companies had advertised to us that we could be the coolest
If only we could spend the cash coppin' us the newest
Stead of passing' off our blessings to the folks that we's in school with
Then they escalated it said folks that we done grew with
Be connections like a stone to step just use em or they useless
I hate to see that message but they snuck it in the blueprints
Now we gotta reconstruct to deconstruct a movement
It wasn't in the newsprint wasn't televised
It was hummin' real quiet in the back of my mind
Something telling' to me I need to keep on tryin'
Cuz I ain't pushing' like I got my fuckin' life on the line
I do my daily shit get groceries at the market
And bike past somebody eatin' food out the garbage
We get adjusted to darkness
It's easier to do when it's not your hardship

Talk less ... Do more
Let em in ... Hold the door
Is you alright ... Are you sure
We just met ... I got your back
Let's talk it out ... I got the time
I got enough ... Have some of mine
This is life ... It's humankind
One of a kind ... Is you and I

Is you and I listenin' are we gone make a difference then
Talk it out face to face with people that we living' with
And people we don't really know to really do our dilligence
We dealin' with them issues that be trynna split our differences
I can't tell you what to do can say I gots to move
Cuz I can't stand this shit what I got to lose
All that ever brought joy to me spendin' time with you
All that ever brought joy is you
That's you as in us, we, you and me
Help up by the strength of all our ties to the community
You as in the person who in line right in front of me
Makin' conversation bout who they wanna be
That's you as in the person who was there in the isle
When I was stocking' shelves cryin' and I couldn't say why
That's you as in the person who just passing' me by
You'll never know how much I brighten' up when you smile
That's you as in the person who don't really talk much
But always find a way to make sure we feel loved
That's you as in the person who works the frontlines
That's you as in the person who serve at lunch time
That's you as in the person who look me in the eyes
That's you as in the person who never wear a diguise
That's you as in the person who live for mankind
That's you as in the person who bring the sunshine
That's you as in the person who help us unwind
That's you as in the person who give they downtown
That's you as in the person who always outside
That's you as in the person who live for mankind
That's you as in the person who live for mankind

Talk less... say more? listen more? do more? It's up to you, It's always been up to you.

Inspired by you wonderful people who take the time to care for each other.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jesse Magnum at The Glow Recording Studio in Athens, GA. He's got a hell of an individual and unique collection of recording equipment that diverges from the classic arsenal of your average studio. With these tools and many years of experience and devotion to the art of engineering, he can beautifully weave sounds together with a masterful cascade of subtle manipulations. It's really cool to hear the process and I guess I had to actually get in front of one of his mics to fully realize the difference in sound quality. If that ain't enough, Jesse is just a really cool down to earth person.

Shouts to The Rucker Collective and Crabtree for some of the samples. Copped them over at the Drum Broker and they sure as hell made it easier and more welcoming to get back into beat making.
