Sink my feet in the Martian ground We made landing Knowledge born wisdom Manifest understanding Confess that I'm plannin To address the enchantin Grand old party So Blessed to be dancin The rest is financin Fears of a phantom Planet taken for granted I'm the last man standin What if there was no more water To clean ya mansion A new world order expansion Advancin propaganda in each stanza Young philosophy like Socrates wearin pampers I throw a tantrum This aint a ransom I just the money im owed Bounty hunter/ Young gunner All the slaves have been sold But there still so many who got nothing to eat No where to sleep Walkin streets Land minds under they feet In a line, Walking by the priest Pray for a signs of alien kind we come in peace I askedem Who got the power? Who got the power? U got the power!!! U got the power!!! Who got the power? Who got the power? I got the power, til the final hour Who got the power??? I got the power!!! Power to the people Stay strong Its the end of the world as we know it... No regrets My whole life been playin Russian Roulette Lifes like a box of legos All the pieces connect Im the suicide king Boy, I dare you to bet Then I'ma come and collect State senators create black prisoners Guess who be writing the checks School books Who be writing the text Hangin on history It aint a mystery We fighting, who's next? My Generation!

Let's examine the scope For those like me who voted for hope SMP got u slidin It's a slippery slope The Koch brothers duck taxes Go and buy a new boat Creatin super packs Wit cash they laugh like its joke Meanwhile u dead broke in debt Collecting a check I regret to inform you This election is set Refugees aint the enemy Wit no oil for energy Middle East Genocides wouldn't be Theres no John F Kennedy No Greatest generation my ass Y'all lack efficiency Just ask the cops on brass Why they need to harass me Every time they pass me Ask for identity I know... It's bout power Just wait til the final hour Pride and Property Things we have and need You can take a lot from me But you cant have all you see They got us on the run Stay robbin everyone Power built from greed No power over me

Over the rainbow There's smiling faces Over seas There some dangerous places Over worm holes There's lost souls I go to bat for'em But I don't know where first base is Over compensated Over anxious Over worked But nobody thanks us Over drones The goverment said would save us Over mortgage loans that deflate us Land stole from the natives Wonder why they still hate us Industries that made us Monopolies that played us America the greatest Last words famous Came over in a Saturn Left somewhere in Uranus Over drama Believe in Karma Over Fox News disrespectin President Obama Over disasters with no aid Over the pastor we all prayed Enslaved by Middle Passage 40 acres too late Keep mule I just want my school loan paid I'm on that Over throw Wack Rap Getcha back pack Choke u in ya sleep Better getcha c-pap We back Spittin facts on a deep tracks No heat packed Uncomfortable to some Son put ya seat back ...And listen to the symphony Africans built pyrimads Cant change the history Thats no Epiphany We cant all fit the mold Of Penitentiary Just Witness me When it's over and done All that's left is a memory Nothing else to become Time is the ultimate enemy But we tried So hard We try So hard To control our identity But when it's over and done We all just turn into energy

The architect who built Stonehenge Sittin on chrome rims Mixin wit grown men pretend The goverment aint readin All the text that ya phone send Cloned men break palms to see how ya bones bend Dont wanna go overseas To where the drones been In the heat / Roastin Off the beach / Coastin Always coachin One foot out the boat / Step in the ocean Floatin slow motion Rubbin on lotion sexy I hope you votin MH for President I think the other choices are evident They aint getting the notion Black Moon Gotcha open And Niggaz jokin / twitter postin I hope you votin MH for President The cops killing brothers Look at the evidence I hope We'd rise above the hydrogen bombs Before riots break in the Bronx What if the sky aint blue What if the grass aint green What if the sky aint blue What if its all a dream Dream... in living color Panoramic views of Santa Cruz Attitude childish like Donald Glover Why can't we love each other No Dakota Access I stand with the actress Meryl Streep on the street Red on the black list No Alternative facts Hold water like cactus My track list circle the atlas No need for practice Answer this... I hope you votin MH for President I think the other choices are evident I'm in the real world Real vibes Real tribe Real Time Panelist Street CNN Analyst I hope you votin MH for President The cops killing brothers Look at the evidence Check we gotta situation man Mr. Small hands got an immigration ban

Yo, America! Why you hate me? No justice for Freddie Gray Black Lives don't go away Hear screams in echoes Dreams we don't let go Most slaves dont run away When they go low... That's when we get HIGH Yo, America! Why you hate us? Watch the mother cry just to give us water The founding fathers gave us laws to keep us all in order But the laws of man aint the same for daughters How on native land your immigration plan still restricting borders?

On the edge of Providence The abyss seems bottomless Black hole So deep fits a hippopotamus Bank accounts so weak I bet economist Dont speak/ On Wall Street So they stay anonymous But I know Brokers Smilin Like Jokers Whiskey sippin cigar smokers They High rollers Devil in flames Wit No capital gains Homeland Claire Danes Dow crashin like Airplanes Sittin first class pimpin Wine glass sippin Concierge move the bags Still No tippin Escalade whippin Bass up in the system Low End Theory Hear me... but u aint listenin Justa kid wita arrow tryina shoot down stars Asked moms for a BB gun to shoot down mars But it still too far Cars creep, drive slow on my street Beep! Beep! Who got the keys to the Jeep Sittin in TRAFFIC Cant get passed these streets Sittin in TRAFFIC We've got places to be Sittin in TRAFFIC Might as well roll up these trees Sittin in TRAFFIC Feels like we never gon' leave American dreams is the rhetoric Bought by American teens When they sellin it Just like American jeans Off the Gap discount rack Bein American means, screw the world They celibate Spoken Elegant Science breeds Elements Walked in the room Name tag reads The Elephant Heaven sent/ Ever Since I woke up with evidence Aliens love whisky... So Jim Beam me up!

The greatest threat to our utopia Is Donald Trump's islamaphobia Not even Henry Ford could focus ya When no one else was broke as ya I put the money in the bank Before they made Dodd Frank Now in Ferguson Cops ridin round in tanks Thanks to the legends before me Most new rappers are corny Trappers backpackers & shorties They say the darker the Berry Black teeth, crooked and scary like Travyon in a hoodie Why deez white people gon fear me I dont know What do you breathe in a whisper What do you say out loud Will she get free when it hits her Does she even have a way out And have you laid awake thru the cold night Terrified of your own clarity Then baby slide under my street light And let me see your hieracy

Verticals leaps in technology Hide the simple facts of biology We exist in a colony Tryina move past anatomy Honestly I dont believe in monogamy But I can see a future on this dark planet They sayin love hurts And I can't stand it Fell in love on Earth And I Didnt plan it Left stranded Skin branded But We all manage Thats when things vanish (Poof) Barbarella Knee high boots Dontella Short blonde hair mozzarella At Coachella, ode to Ella The type of alien dime Jazzy in a wine cellar Singin Accapella ...I told her You should roll with me in my spaceship Face it Things dont evolve unless we make it It's a beautiful day Dont waste it See that comet darting thru the sky Let's chase it I've spent Galaxies away Tryina find my bae My milky bae She's my milky bae Body like Kim K In her Yoga pants Greet her Namaste Roman holiday We can slide away To my hideaway Cosplay Anikin Skywalker Shes Padame In a world they hate Cant integrate Lines drawn by skin dont blend So we levitate For heavens sake We debate Arguments escalate But when I see her milkshake Cant wait to penetrate Pumpin Vic's Innatape as an escape We meditate Reflecting on a state we await to educate The chance to advance the hate That color create Now other biddies callin her fake My Madonna wit cake Caught the eye of every playa awake But the women from my tribe hate her Callin me a traitor But I ask... if God didn't want me with her Then why did he create her

Have you ever been in love Have you ever had a friend u could trust Have you ever left your bag on a bus Have your ever heard the prom queen rant Have you ever ripped your name brand pants at ya 8th grade dance Have u ever heard a racial slur From ya girlfriends dad Wonder why u keep chasing her Have u ever said... Face it sir Ya daughter calls me THAT Nigga too When I facial her Reppin the World Tribe Where we all vibe Reppin the World Tribe We take it worldwide

about

Afronaut is a conceptual multi-media project developed by myself, MH the Verb and my team of artists, musicians, and creators known as, ArtHouse95. Over the past year, we’ve created various forms of art and media including, new music, videos, events, and visuals that promote empowerment and diversity.

Our new album, Afronaut LP features a musical assortment of funky grooves, progressive arrangements, and entrancing beats while presenting timely poetic lyrics by multiple singers and vocalists. Expanding the project with various contributions, we’ve curated a style and movement blending Jazz, Hip Hop, and Funk & Soul with the organic production values of today’s electronic music movement. Accompanied by various media installations, the Afronaut project is truly our most vibrant and socially important work to date. I seriously believe my team and I have really tapped into our voices to present a new world order of Hip Hop.

Why the Afronaut?... The concept originally started as a storyline/narrative about a futuristic hero who travels back to this complicated moment in time to inspire and empower today’s artists and youth. Developing that idea, spawned the Afronaut… a symbol of power and progress and a theme for our work. We aren't rocket scientists, but we believe we can fix problems and create a better world. We haven’t walked on the moon, but we remember the dreams of our youth and still gaze at the stars in wonderment, believing that great distances are reachable. We aren't aliens, but we celebrate our differences, realizing that diversity is beautiful and equality is possible. We believe that the art will lift people up beyond all the dark clouds. If we can create heroes, we can become heroes.
