Dissonance [prod. Erthling​.​]

from Writing Prompts II [EP] by K1NG ELJAY

lyrics

(Verse 1)
This that energy we need to achieve /
Took me seeing monuments fall for me to believe /
We in the streets screaming for justice, [disturbing your peace] /
It must be [fate] to be on [i-20] as crazy can be /
[ludacris/Ludicrous] this [organized noise] can get us all seen /
[Standing Up] to [slap] a [h*] that disrespecting the team /
Paddywagons [back for the first time] on the scene /
But we stuck between being Kirk Franklin or Aaliyah /
see We Need A Revolution or a Resolution /
and us raising our voices in one accord is proving fruitful /
Who could imagine our passion for progress could get it crackin' /
But turn on TV and see mockeries of our actions /
White people hijacking voices while democrats are /
Kneeling in Kente cloths as publicity stunts /
Renaming streets in DC and washing protestors feet? /
Equality's the song that we tryna sing....


(Hook)
But your melodies are bothering me…
It don't seem we all in the right key...
Audibly it’s all noise to the K1ng...
This is dissonance, down to a T....
And I don’t like that...

(Verse 2)
Don't give me pizza at my job if I'm askin' for raises /
Don't shift the focus if I'm out here pushing for changes /
Don't use your shield to protect your own /
It’s almost like we used to yell about brutality on every song /
Cops with gats, tear gas and mace and batons /
Policing areas that they aint even from /
and get scared when Black people try to fight or run and gun them down/
and alter the police report to make it seem so common, huh...
I don't think my family gone like this /
My sister and my bro-in-law in the force /
My uncle retired, I could've stayed quiet, but i'm so tired /
of seeing black cops act sensitive ‘bout a broken system /
That ain't built for them to thrive in, maybe that's why /
whenever we link, I never ask them ‘bout their job /
‘cause it’s difficult for me to be cool with their profession /
when we got receipts of their colleagues aggressions /

(Hook)
And your melodies are bothering me...
It don't seem we all in the right key…
Audibly it's all noise to the K1NG...
This is dissonance, down to a T....
And I don’t like that...

Miss me with it.

I just want to make music you can feel.

Based in Alabama for now, but feel free to check out the releases on the page (which are all available for free), and tell a friend to do the same thing.

Feel free to pay if you rock with it, but no pressure.

I appreciate you for even giving this a chance. I won't disappoint, I promise.
