Proxima Ebony ft. Capitol A
Lyrics by Antoine Green/ Joseph Malik
Verse 1
This for the Kingdom of Kush, the Mali Empire
The children of Aksum, praise be, alaikum kum
The era of the bygone, eras of lost treasures
The old ways must be made by any measures
As I gaze to the stars for meditation with Nut
The flow of the Nile is embedded in your strut
Go forth, oh black child, populate the soil
Inherently shine through tribulations and toil
In the year of their Lord, we suffer a discord
Chains and brutality, welcome aboard
Keep the old ways coded in your slang and dance
To them, shuckin and jiving, we calling taking a stance
Marcus Garvey wanted a one way trip
He bulit an ark for an exodus, a Black Star ship
Fast forward to the present,
We are still in rough waters
21st century lambs to the slaughter
Chorus
Brother Sister Father Mother
Sister Mother, working together
Father Father Mother Sister Brother
Verse 2
Here’s an observation, the proclamation
Here’s to enlightenment, here’s to preparation
We finally get there,
Make sure that the stars align
With the scrolls of the first mankind
Chorus
Wanna do it
Brother Sister Father Mother
Sister Mother, working together
Father Father Mother Sister Brother
Verse 3
The continent that’s darker than the Universe
Spreading the seeds to every place we immerse
Every source of mineral,
Proteins intended to give you the understanding of the first earth landing
It’s agriculture in the highest form
Black you, brown you, the genetic norm
Agriculture in the highest form
Black you, brown you, the genetic norm
What can the past show us as we look to the future?
It’s a limitless source of inspiration to renew us
As we merrily merrily plummet downstream
Chorus
Yeah yeah
Brother Sister Father Mother
Sister Mother, working together
Wanna do it, yeah yeah, wanna do it
Father Father Mother Sister Brother
Yeah (yeah)
Just looking over my shoulder, my people

My Whole World (Is Fallin’) ft. Kameelah Waheed
Lyrics by Kameelah Waheed/ Joseph Malik
Verse 1
We stand and fall, we fall and stand…
I believed again - in it
Although the signs of it were not present - disguised.
I felt it, I was hesitant, but I went with it.
Gave my usual 110, they ‘bout 50 in for some reason
Our dreams cease to blend.
They begin to cut me with overtones of the end
And I begin panicking, mindlessly chattering
Thinking they knew the answers
When red flags half stand in positions of an invasive attacking.
We stand and fall and fall and stand.
Chorus
My whole world, my whole world is fallin’
Front of me, front of me, front of me,
It’s all around me, my whole world, my whole world
Is fallin’ front of me, front of me, front of me,
It’s all around me
Verse 2
I’m reminded that I am falling into next level greatness
Never forget who you are
That northern star, that courage to love after the scars.
This time, I raise the bar, rebuke you sub-pars
Yet I’m grateful for the spar.
Thus far, my whole world been on pause
Breaking my personal clause never to fall again
But again, we trust. Ain’t nothing like that rush or that first busting it up on the P- train
Love notes like first grade first kiss taste homemade...
Mesmerized, mesmerized by the newness, the curious nature
Held me, enticed me to explore
We stand and fall and fall and stand
Chorus
My whole world, my whole world is fallin’
Front of me, front of me, front of me,
It’s all around me, my whole world, my whole world
Is fallin’ front of me, front of me, front of me,
It’s all around me
Verse 3
Vibrations and frequencies connected
we know joy, we know love, we know spirit, we knew strength
We stand and fall and fall and stand
So, all the babbling make no sense
I was convinced they was heaven sent
Perhaps, he is pushing me to learn, to live
Pushing me to stop the give, to start the fall into your call
Take your crown at the ball, set heights so tall, so far-fetched to ya’ll
We stand and fall and fall and stand - fallin’
We stand and fall and fall and stand - fallin’
We stand and fall and fall and stand
We stand and fall and fall and stand
