:: SONG/DESCRIPTION ::
Maryland-born MC, producer, artist, and educator Substantial teams up with KD Foxx for one of the best collaborations you’ll hear this year. Speaking about the new release, Substantial shares, “Your Greatest Weapon is about self-empowerment and realizing that the most powerful weapon that we have is our voice.” 'YGW's' production is a chill midtempo groove, filled with smooth bass, rhythm guitar, chopped drum, and clarinet samples, and expertly-played vibraphone courtesy of Malcolm Jackson. MLLN's jazzy vocals are the icing on this delicious Jazz-Hop cake.
:: LYRICS ::
(MLLN)
If you ever doubted me
I could make you regret everything
Time to lift my voice and sing
It's the greatest weapon I can bring
Greatest Weapon!
(Substantial)
Here to put a stop to the anguish
But they don’t understand like I’m speaking a dead language
Devoured big beef ‘fore I was ever fed angus
Went to battle with friends then mourned for dead strangers
I was bred dangerous but peace is the objective
Easily subjective to the heathens I connect with
Seem to be respected ‘mongst the beast in my collective
Ignored by the masses so I speak for the rejected
And the speakers are connected just to amplify our voice
They ain’t built for the journey but I never had a choice
Doubt is louder than cheers but I’m drowning out the noise
They don’t know who we be like DMX and Dubois
So to those who ain’t been informed
I am fire in a winter storm, first blooming flower when the winter’s gone
Solitude sang by Sarah Vaughn, every note is integral
And great’s the minimum... when the pressure’s on
(MLLN)
If you ever doubted me (ah ahhh)
I could make you regret everything (regret everything)
Time to lift my voice and sing (ooh ooh)
It's the greatest weapon I can bring
Greatest Weapon!
(Substantial)
Heart on my sleeve, dirt in my claws, eyes on the prize
Sharpen my teeth on food for thought, pride on the side
Guarding the weak, put up my paws, lives on the line
Call of the beast, no matter the cost, I’m fine with the fines
Inclined to find a way when there ain’t one in view
Trying to climb but can’t save every one of you
This kind of design is made just for a humble few.
Some don’t mind the mines and lose no matter what I do
I do what hunters do, fam I love, prey, and eat
And the tongue that I speak is a drum in a beat
That’s guiding you thru the rhythm of life if you dare to dance
Out here shining light to help people lift out of their trance
King checked by pawns and a knight and can’t advance
Til we rearrange the game and opponents s**t in their pants
Strength in our stance, pens in our hands looking like weapons
Those that overstand what we saying, they see the blessing
(Br'er)
Music is the entity that forged angels
Sing a song only few will understand
And it shall be your greatest weapon
(MLLN)
If you ever doubted me (ah ahhh)
I could make you regret everything (regret everything)
Time to lift my voice and sing (ooh ooh)
It's the greatest weapon I can bring
Greatest Weapon!
