Lyrics: Ya’ll was getting tipsy While I’m trying tip seas Praying tides change for the young kings drowning Wave baby bye bye bye to the back street Boys that will never go crown queens Slaves to the crave of appearance for conceit (con seat) Sitting in their own schemes but they wanna clown me Now I barely think about recognition for my name Only faces and pain of my peoples Weep when I think on how far I done came Never had to constrain my worship to steeples Get to be a voice for the mute over beats While the common narrative is boasting in evil Clap to the clapping of beings over beef Say they listen for the beats – nah that’s deceitful Your heart grows hard to the harming of man Kind seems to mean less than you care to think of Why I push life over beats Christ crucified preached sounding harsh and illegal Lethal weapon My smif and wesson is double edged to press out false impressions Pressure applied Predestined that I Would be another black man highly stigmatized But I grind hard, coffee beans never my Hi(gh), greet you with the Most who supplies Come and try

I’m seeking a better road The angels in heaven know They invoke me to provide you with nourishment with the flows Nervous I used to be but you know I could never fold For something that’s inside of me which I know I have control Of No fear, I let my soul lush Gold touch Every time I write I let my soul bust Greatness takes patience With that said, its no rush Moving at a divine pace, my mind state Been about spreading love to lower crime rates My faith keeps me balanced, never stagnant Only progressing, so its never a challenge Of keeping my head up Not stressing over lettuce But trying to show the people the system ain’t trying to let us Dream no more Or even think for ourselves Ask folks today they say we living up in hell

Heavenly resident in a regiment unfamiliar to my specimen Extraterrestrial settlement with xenophobic hecklers Red I tell ’em wages of truth, and dudes just think I’m at a deficit nah We knew that black lives mattered before the hashtag But some suckahs ain’t act like it, so they push facts (fax) Printer showed the image got my fire burning for the world cause the old folk felt the hose blast and now Coast to coast, no, I’m locale I’ll globe trot If the Renaissance needs more power On now Tongue tied, my soul bound Men shut up and a grind, boys run their mouth I (w)rap for life, they do a season, call ’em Santa’s helpers But best believe consumer culture never lasts forever Too much death, this recognition for the resurrected Crying out with testimonies of the saints beheaded

The REDLIVETRUE EP: A young man’s anthology on how to save the world

In today’s hip-hop world, there seems to be a growing respect and acceptance for the type of music that speaks directly to the soul, directly to the listener’s life, their issues, their grievances, and overall just about anything that the listener will find an absolute truth in and relate to. We’ve seen it in the past with artists such as Nas, Common, Lauryn Hill, KRS-One, and Public Enemy; and we’ve seen it recently with the emergence of artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Lupe Fiasco and Logic.

RedLiveTrue, a 20yr old emcee from Chicago, Illinois is placing himself among such illustrious company with his forthcoming debut project, The REDLIVETRUE EP, which is dropping on Tuesday, February 17, 2015.

RedLiveTrue is the newest member to The Jet Setters collective, which consists of artists Sir Charles and BenJamin, and producers Johnny Storm, Ree aka 7°, and DJ TouchTone. He has been working on his EP since May 2014 and is finally ready to bring it forth to the masses. The project touches a wide range of issues all relevant in today’s society and especially those that directly affect the youth in his crime ridden hometown of Chicago.
