"My mind is a maze. Open your mind, and you'll be amazed at the things that you find that's lying deep inside, something so beautifully caged. Ashes, the womb from birth. I'ma lay this all down first with my intellect, as it interjects this Black Girl Magic into your universe. This world is mine, and you're blessed to be a feature in this infinite story, at my leisure. As I'm surely learning the inner's journey lies blessed inside the best Teachers. Yea I'm an open book, with a big image. Read between the lines, to get the bigger picture. This vibe was your favorite pre-set when the keys hit, cause this beat be so different" - Nubi
[Verse One]
My granny on my father's side
Just happy that I had a chance
To meet you in my 20s
And I'm thankful for the conversations
Vividly painted, look
You've done so much for pops
I hope you smiling down from Heaven
Cause I'm standing at your bedside
Just watchin' as you're sleepin'
They say that cancer's in your brain
And death is soon to creep in
You livin' off of them ice cubes
And an I.V. for your nutrients
Beatrice, a miracle the strength
You've shown through all of this
I smile for you
[Chorus]
In the booth
We was in the booth
Toasted up to you
Thinkin' back
Little Granny had the shotty
And the Mac, cock it back
Now we groove to this
We just payin' dues for this
Beatrice, thank you for the memories
You gave to this (2x)
[Verse Two]
Rose pedals at your grave site
You know I'm missin' you
Just wish we had some more time
To build upon our issues
Teach me about your history
And the lessons you've learned
Since 1932, I know you've watched
This country burning
You witnessed segregation
Being a girl from the South
And running from the Klan
Something I'ma never have to know about
You witnessed Martin Luther Jr.
And Malcolm X assassinated
Crooked cops and water hoses
Within this nation
You moved to California
And placed your roots in LA
Before the neighborhood was Crippin'
They was eating up at your place
Divorced your first husband
After you had to pull that pistol on him
Cause you aint never been no type
To let no man hit you
Your second marriage ended off
With a knock at the door
Another casualty of war
He left you with three kids
On your floor, and I forgive you
Cause even though you weren't around
You did the best you could
With all that hurt you hadn't found
And I smile for you
I've come to rejoice in witnessing him finally finding his footing, and standing firm on his square. He is, in my opinion, the sound of the culture once all this mainstream noise quiets out. VON POE VII
I spent my early late teens and 20's listening to Hus Kingpin and SmooVth, back when they went by "Tha Connection". It was very refreshing to see them come together again, and drop another classic. VON POE VII
True Masterz, a group I'd consider a modern day Mobb Deep or Onyx, except Megallah (formally JMega The God) does all the flowing over productions by MighGawd. Peep their catalog. VON POE VII
