Thanksgiving

about

Thank you.

lyrics

this beat's like Thanksgiving feast with the fam
mom's mac and cheese, turkey stuffing, candy yams
little cousins running round, puppies yap in the back
hold hands, praise the LORD for the bounty we bout to smash
happy for the miracles nourishing soul and flesh
Ryuichi's in the kitchen, compliments to the chef!
peep the freshness

and when i hit that long reset
touchback to the Bay, returned from the midwest
it was longer than expected, tryna banish stresses
you welcomed me with open arms to the old nest
I needed to take a breath, and you gave a few seconds
to recollect my essence and reflect upon my blessings
only question is. . .


i'd like to give thanks, i woke with my breath
to see another day, my cup's in excess
food in my belly, and a path for my steps
love in my heart for my art and my brethren
to the fam that i was born to, the fam that i choose
all of my crews, and especially you


and to my black queen
we celebrate everyday we're forever dancing
like nobody's looking but the follow spot is hot enough
binary stars in this system, shine with a lot of love
inspired by your drive i'm tryna match your pace
so you can pass me the baton after that phase of the race
i aimed to be best, crash landed somewhere "nice"
fell short of good like i was sprinting on ice

i stumbled and i slipped, but you're steady with the grip
and forgiving when i fail to keep my end of the trip
so i double up my efforts, get familiar with directions
so next time we hit that highway i'm watching for proper exits
watch the evolution, leapfrog to prince
you and i will share the globe, no documents...


i'd like to give thanks, i woke with my breath
to see another day, my cup's in excess
food in my belly, and a path for my steps
love in my heart for my art and my brethren
the fam that i was born to, the fam that i choose
all of my crews, and especially to you


if u been waiting patiently, while i was slacking blatantly
i'm 'fraid i frankly ain't got the language to thank you graciously
for maintaining that faith in me even when i was breaking had
the whole world awaiting my failure, and me hater-in-chief
thanks to you i'm learning to retire that title
and hear divine within these writings, i could scribe a new bible

me and Jimi Swaggart have been rapping many hours
full volume for believers, closed captioned for the cowards
you can't shut us up, logorrhea superpowers
enemy emcees'll inevitably get devoured
BION NV, we hungry, to put it simply
BION NV is feasting on the whole century

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]. ... more
