about

Last minute add to the album, at the time I felt that there was something missing to give it the punch I wanted. Thankfully I had already had some beats from Deafswitch and ToOnKurtis to work with... Thanks guys! A Special THANK YOU to my cousin Sarah for letting me record her while she was in town.. love you prima!!

lyrics

Welcome to The Dawn!
My name is Anthm
Out The Ashtray of LA!!

let's go let's go let's go

I felt awake til' I saw the severity
do I gotta rock you asleep and take you there with me?
underneath the depths of the waters my words are air to breathe
a light in the darkness that fights to provide clarity
I'm roaming the maze
pray to illuminate it
we've been trapped in a cage
spoon fed fule for hatred
going out of control and slipping past the apex
world's on a collision course "no one will save it!"
that's the most bullshit I've heard in my life
using the tip of my quill to scratch out signs of blight
no angel wings yet I still soar to bold heights
I'm that rising sun born
push back that cold night
so hold tight to whatever you hold dear
this is the land of confusion and no truth is told here
paths littered with barbed wire you'll make your soul tear
you walking with a true lion don't you fear come on
for those that sell death
for those that sell hate
for those that take that women image pillage and rape
Anthm I'm the sun this is dawn's early break
I open them up
in hopes that it change... damn
scribbling freedom on pages
trying to reach a common ground
I seek it through the sound this hand extended out
I will not let you drown
Feel lost? now you are found
positive vibes yea we need that around
it helps the soul rejuvenate
I put my heart in it so I hope you relate
lets plan our escape before our parts finished
and they chase our stars away
you're spirit is free they can't take what you never gave
it helps the soul rejuvenate
I pour my heart and I hope you relate
lets plan our escape before our parts finished
and they chase our stars away
you're spirit is free they can't take what you never gave!
wake up I PLEAD we need to see past the lies
Mis Ojos Cafes finally bathe in the light
they aiming at our minds just to break and divide
I see hope diminishing fast and pain is on the rise
a bullet with butterfly wings
no rats in this race
attention span shortens so they quicken up the pace
I need to be aggressive so I throw it in your face
yea I can feel your pain there's only so much I can take
so when will it break
the circle that we've become
when we fighting with each other til' we die beneath the sun
a giants got it's fist and we be trapped under it's thumb
we won't rise up until we rise up as one
in the home of the gun
and the land of the fraud
people be claiming the boss without knowing the cost
understand all the weight of the souls that been lost
let you right now know that this road is still ours
so come on!
