1 - People Of The Red Clay

next day – making headway

people of the red clay

come on – run that

sunlight on the comeback

hidden truth gonna come into view

lies evaporate like the morning dew

race against time, you’ll only get caught

first light of dawn – already hot

daybreak, beat break, heatwave,

press play, sun rays on the red clay headspace

brought rhyme to the thoughtcrime hotline

sun coming online

elevator, escalator, staircase

raw light burn fog up out the airspace

tell the two-faced crews it’s a new day

sub-bass shake the knots out your shoelace

or your velcro straps or whatnot

oneshot snare cracks like a gunshot

hotter than a sunspot with the new songbook

eye contact – take a good long look

dawntime with the mercury climbing

wack emcees all nursery rhyming

eyes up – sheen on the sheet metal

rise up – steam from the tea kettle

next day – making headway

people of the red clay

come on – run that

sunlight on the comeback

hidden truth gonna come into view

lies evaporate like the morning dew

race against time, you’ll only get caught

first light of dawn – already hot

even in the shade 96 Fahrenheit

cuts intricate from the blade of a paring knife

precise in the early day

laid back on the slice – learn the way

sun of the morn – don the iron shirt

no questions asked – i’m firing first

past gone – surpass the small scale

tear tracks dried up to a salt trail

season the flow – be in the know

believing in the healing and i’m stealing the show

raw rhyme for the vibe and the scene’s set

I mean that you ain’t seen a thing yet

act one of the play – take a look this way

high resolution display

fine detail, ain’t it so? untold tales

hope in the soul prevails – smoke trails

next day – making headway

people of the red clay

come on – run that

sunlight on the comeback

hidden truth gonna come into view

lies evaporate like the morning dew

race against time, you’ll only get caught

first light of dawn – already hot

end of the night, beginning of light

real life – reveal all that’s hidden from sight

just a prelude to the way hues form up when the day’s new

warm up – stay true

put your foot down where the one’s at

where the sun’s at – look now, light on the comeback

run that – soundtrack to lucid dreams

decorate the street with humid steam

a matter of moments – it disappears

moisture transmutes – infuse the atmosphere

set the stage on page one – mark the occasion

no escape from the day’s sun

shade outstretched at the first light outset

but it ain’t for long, so don’t doubt that

light with the heat coming hand in hand

rekindle the flame – enchant the land

next day – making headway

people of the red clay

come on – run that

sunlight on the comeback

hidden truth gonna come into view

lies evaporate like the morning dew

race against time, you’ll only get caught

first light of dawn – already hot
