Thelonius

Thelonious Sphere Monk (, October 10, 1917 – February 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington.Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations. Monk's distinct look included suits, hats, and sunglasses. He also had an idiosyncratic habit duri… more »

Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter
Well let's get to talking address that chatter
The picture's confusing with all this paint
Should I pray with the sinners and sin with saints
God, I'm an omen in my complexion
Everytime I see them I feel fear and aggression
The law's above it all, it's death by the man's hand
Troubled waters done forced me to draw lines in the sand
If you are not an ally peace my enemy
Even with hands up don't shoot I can't breathe
You see the disrespect on them body body cams
All we got is trauma shooting live like it's Instagram
But they gon' tell me to peacefully kneel
Naw it didn't work the first time that's how I feel
Protest levels up to the riots they seem excited to bury ya
It's just another nigga dead living in America

Equality's nothing to us but pipe dreams
Black life lost is nothing it might seem
Now I gotta disease, pumping that IV
American pandemic, MELANIN-19
Either side of the coin, streets or church steeple
What if I fall victim to them or my own people
A sickness in my skin, pumping that IV
American pandemic, MELANIN-19

Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter
Well's let get to talking address that chatter
Here's a discussion where niggas run and hide
They're killing us, we're killing us... genocide
Black-on-black crime does not exist
I'm not with it, it's justifiable bullshit
I said what I said, social media activist
We're not accountable with that same energy, practices
Are half-assed, mourning mothers calling them cops
Young'n was only 14 years and he got dropped
Same shade as his killer, the same name as my Pop
The irony about it he died right on my block
So if we go to war than we need more
F*ck a liquor store, warriors we breed more
This is all the violence we've desensitized after the pastor buries ya
It's just another nigga dead living in America

Equality's nothing to us but pipe dreams
Black life lost is nothing it might seem
Now I gotta disease, pumping that IV
American pandemic, MELANIN-19
Either side of the coin, streets or church steeple
What if I fall victim to them or my own people
A sickness in my skin, pumping that IV
American pandemic, MELANIN-19

Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter
Well's let get to talking address that chatter
The system is broken, my people are shattered
Unless you make the cake well then you'll surely be battered
We climb a ladder and then we splatter cuz you push it over
You're looking after confusion plastered on why we ain't sober
My people hurting, essential when we out to put the work in
But our mental can't be tend to until we stop buying Birkin
Man who's rich without black money, who bad as a black honey
We blacker than black and back to blacking on that blasphemy
I know Martin had a dream, Malcolm he had a team
But Thelonius is mean and Daisy Mayze that girl a queen
I ain't finna be a hash tag, before I peel a cap back
To take my people down you gon' have to bomb us like Bagdad
I ain't finna be a hash tag, before I peel a cap back
I'll slap you for this movement homie, look I ain't my granddad

Equality's nothing to us but pipe dreams
Black life lost is nothing it might seem
Now I gotta disease, pumping that IV
American pandemic, MELANIN-19
Either side of the coin, streets or church steeple
What if I fall victim to them or my own people
A sickness in my skin, pumping that IV
American pandemic, MELANIN-19
