Another Man 04:46
Another Man Chorus One mans trash is another mans treasures One mans pain is another mans pleasure One mans curse is another mans blessing One mans mistake is another mans lesson I wish I hope I dream I pray I find a way To another land The steps I take Are mine to make I'll never wanna be another man Verse I used to envy the cool with benzos Forget a Honda Accord I couldn't afford a pinto No fly kick just tip toes My shoes were a size too small But I wore them till they get holes So I never get hoes With these dirty ass clothes I wore my sisters hand me down Like hand me those Wore my Lil Brot's hand me up Cause I'm half as tall I wore my heart on my sleeve But still laugh it off I used to think it was my dads fault He was never around to teach me how to be a man so I had to wing it Present and past cause and effect I come from humble beginning Nothing is given Except your balls and respect Nights huddled around stove for heat no sleep it was just us children Cold was unyielding Back when I didn't quite understand the weapon that I'm wielding One mans ending is another mans forever One mans hell is another mans heaven I learn to appreciate the little I was given Making something out of nothing I'm trying to get it how ya living Chorus One mans trash is another mans treasures One mans pain is another mans pleasure One mans curse is another mans blessing One mans mistake is another mans lesson I wish I hope I dream I pray I find a way To another land The steps I take Are mine to make I'll never wanna be another man Verse 2: If there's a way then I'm William I'm able and willing Till my children getting paper and chilling There no time I'm rushing like I stay in the kremlin I made lane for myself and I'm reving my engines Rebelling against the machine Never in me to envy What in you ain't in me I'm from a bloodline of Grahoamtonians A wise man once told me this The gifts God gives a man are only his And they can tell who the real and the phony is Sometimes it's fake friends claiming homie and That's when your a one start to move like a foe move But we play by the old rules My blessing are my blessings Whats for me ain't for you To hate on my progress that's a how move I've had a village mentality since the old school And it taught me this lesson One mans ending is another mans forever One mans hell is another mans heaven I learn to appreciate the little I was given Making something out of nothing I'm trying to get it how ya living Chorus One mans trash is another mans treasures One mans pain is another mans pleasure One mans curse is another mans blessing One mans mistake is another mans lesson I wish I hope I dream I pray I find a way To another land The steps I take Are mine to make I'll never wanna be another man Verse 3: Don't waste your time trying to block my shine Through faith what's mine can't be stopped I grind It was written Described in the scriptures in hieroglyphics This is the transcription A script to mental transitions Tune into the frequency your mind is the transistor Your spirits the antenna Negativity is cancerous We rant, throw hands in air and cuss Then we wonder why God won't answer us Looking at somebody else life and compare it to us Looking at somebody else with eyes of lust Instead of trying to devise your own plan to come up Dudes plotting on their man All the bottles they were popping was for profit what a scam The whole time you thought he was ya fam But he was trying to get the upper hand That's the type the shit to make you never trust again Then you that this chick got this dude a couple years One mans ending is another mans forever One mans hell is another man heaven I've learn to appreciate the little I was given Making something out of nothing tearing get it how you living? Chorus One mans trash is another mans treasures One mans pain is another mans pleasure One mans curse is another mans blessing One mans mistake is another mans lesson I wish I hope I dream I pray I find a way To another land The steps I take Are mine to make I'll never wanna be another man

New Strange Fruit Chorus: From slaves, to the ghetto, is what the school books have to say it hanging, above you Watch what the news has to say The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose Verse 1 They killed Sandra in her cell then called it suicide New slave trade been performing genocide From the cotton field picking a bail To being stripped and put in a cell Prisoners of the war on drugs The cycles vicious as hell I'll teach you to fish and then I wish you prevail Enough knowledge that could feed you for years Slavery never ended it just transformed Simply read the constitution for the answers Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. So that's not a total abolition If it was there would be no exception But this country but was built on slave labor since conception Chorus: From slaves to the ghetto is what the school books say It's always hanging above you Just watch the news today The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose Verse 2: I'm a post traumatic slave Turned into a dope fanatic, crazed Hoping that my folks are at my grave On the that poke my fattest vein While they tell me get over latter days With a broken ladder While a best friend stab me in the back with a broken dagger Old habits die hard but god gave me everything no mick jagger My pops was a Rolling Stone And I ain't talking pop culture magazines I'm trying to break the cycle This is vital to our basis survival No father but I made despite dude I goal was to be nothing like you Don't want my kids to be stereotype too I'm trying to change the future So when my present is past I can live out my dream no Martin Luther King Jr I'm the prince where's my queen We're going back to Zemunda They didn't I'm royalty Chorus: From slaves to the ghetto is what the school books say It's always hanging above you Just watch the news today The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose Verse 3 Know the ledge Knowledge is power Knowledge of self is eternal and never will cower The system rigged against us but we never will bow to those who will tell us it's bad to be proud of Our heritage melanin And the hair that grow from my head I'm Samson avoiding Delilah Looking for a Queen that won't assist my rivals So can built an empire like Luscious Lyons King descendants We never knew it Slavery and struggle is all they fed to us Black folks with no rights is all the read to us Then they sent the Feds to To kill our leaders shot to head But they will never defeat us I'm waist deep in the water trying to tread through it Originators of all you see Made in the image of the creator of land and see you should've knew it Chorus: From slaves to the ghetto is what the school books say It's always hanging above you Just watch the news today The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose

about

New Strange Fruit EP is the second release from NC rapper Amon Re The 8th Sign. It is scheduled to be released in 8/2018 on all DSP’s. After collaborating with Italian producer Dirty Meth Dopamina on one track in October of 2016, which turned out to be the title track, the pair decided to do a EP together. Amon is stepping out of his creative comfort zone with New Strange Fruit EP, so you will hear a different sound from the NC emcee. Typically preferring a more traditional boom bap style of beat, Amon is searching for a sound and with Dirty Meth's pyschedelic production New Strange Fruit was born. The sound Dirty meth Dopamina develops provides a psychedelic background, while melting with a relaxing smokey atmosphere, and a 90's hip hop wink.


Amon – New Strange Fruit isn't the project I wanted to make but I think it is the project I needed to make. There was a lot going on personally, with America and the world at the time. When I wrote the first song I wanted to do something very different from anything I had done before. The way I heard the hook in my head it was a combo of Marilyn Manson and George Clinton sonically. After I wrote New Strange Fruit and sent it to DMD, we decided to move forward on an EP. Black Rage is one of my favorite songs personally because it helped me get a lot off my chest. There was a point where I felt like the whole world hated the black man. Everywhere I looked black women were bashing us, the police are killing us and our own brothers are even against us. this led me to be frustrated and attacked from all directions.


NSF wasn’t meant to be so political but that is what was on my mind during the writing process. Sometimes I wish I could just make fun party records and not be so serious all the time. Dream Girl is my break away from the seriousness of NSF to just have fun. I love the sax in it because it continuously changes. I have never done a song like this before either. The style and structure of the song is something new to me. I was cautious about singing, if that is what you want to call it, because I no Luther Vandross. Honestly I got over myself and just expressed myself on this song. It is about the woman I was dating at the time.
