Tradition Lyrics by Kai Exos

2020

Yo i just wanted to say some sh*t that’s been on my heart today⁣

Pull up, pull through⁣
How my plate look ⁣
Man i miss the souk⁣
This was for one, but we could all eat⁣
Two, three a.m. pacific⁣
One month til juneteenth ⁣

Yalla habibi, angostura⁣
See i’m so tide of black death on tour⁣
On this feed that doesn’t feed me⁣
Too bitter to drink⁣
…the tabs are easier⁣

We uplift, we uplift⁣
Pray to the most high⁣
Five or ten times⁣
–– keynote address⁣
All in accordance⁣
Hashtag now playing⁣
Black n brown excellence⁣

Shift to select⁣
Cut and paste dialect⁣
Borne of the books⁣
We lucky to still have ⁣
From middle passage⁣
That’s how we learned to laugh⁣
Bout our circumstances⁣

Fred said no weapon⁣
Pac keep ya head up⁣
Mama knew love⁣
Sam cooke’s many lessons⁣
What a wonderful world this would be ⁣

I dunno why⁣
Fievel goes west is stuck in my head⁣
James ingram sing-ing ⁣
Somewhere out there⁣
Not a creature was stirring⁣
‘cept for my neighbours⁣
8 o’clock pots and pans⁣
I thank god for health⁣
Care and caretakers⁣
Who are saving ⁣
Our nation⁣

Can i bloom?⁣
Is there time?⁣
You already know⁣
I’m rooting for u ⁣
Issa, good cry on a shoulder⁣
Low-key insecure⁣
Cleo wade in the water ⁣
But keep your distance⁣
2 metres is far when⁣
U haven’t felt warm since november⁣
Today is 75 days⁣
Of self isolation⁣
Reclusive like MJ⁣
Damn i miss canada⁣

Hope it gets better⁣
And i hope for it soon⁣
Gon go to damascus⁣
Man, missy’s the truth⁣
It does rain in LA⁣
It’s new music season⁣
We all gettin creative⁣
We bred for greatness⁣
We been through worse⁣
Our ancestors tell it⁣
U better ask somebody⁣
… only one here is⁣
The man in the mirror⁣
Damn i coulda sang that⁣

Don’t give up ⁣
Writing our history⁣
When they ask⁣
Where are you from⁣
Originally? ⁣
I mean, third culture⁣
Got me here⁣
North africa⁣
Middle east⁣
Caribbean kid ⁣
Came up in M-I-A⁣

This is my heritage:⁣
Al mashriq means ⁣
Place of the rising sun⁣
I like me’shell’s version⁣
Cuz it’s human and loud⁣
A tribute of sound⁣

Since i’m safer at home⁣
I’m grateful for dat⁣
I’ll stay inside⁣
Naw u can’t come over⁣

But send me a text
I could send u a song
Just to let u know
A few of the things
That have happened

Man i remember when
Alexa didn’t even know my name
What a betrayal
As i fade my own hair
I needed her then
C’mon baby let’s do the twist

Barack really said
We the ones been waitin for
That’s really wild, cousin
Cuz i’m ready for more

2 minutes of this
Flies by faster than a verzuz
Thank god this ain't a battle
Im more singer than rapper
Imma spend my days in the garden
Call it a tradition
Or a 20/20 tuesday
We all gon make it
We all gon be okay
