Teeming with smoothed-out vocals and melodic flourishes over pulsating bass, the piece is an insightful conversation between KAR33M and his future self. A warning pertaining to the insatiable quest for success, the rhythmic track centers on the greed and the hunger for more (Jara) that will ultimately leave him unfulfilled. "We seek to grow and evolve, learn and teach, love and laugh as much as possible before we no longer have the chance to.

This song provides insight into the reality faced by a multitude of Africans. People of the African diaspora are always enduring the tyranny of political leaders who continue to devalue their citizens, the track is an ambient, yet powerful protest song that aims to spark an overdue call to action. “Our political leaders are people claiming personal ownership of the resources that belong to the people. So when I say we are 'on their matter,' [throughout the song] that means we are awake to the injustices that we see and there is work being done to make a change,” - KAR33M LYRICS Party in Lagos, drinks in Miami That’s how you be moving and leaving you spending it straight as it’s coming On their matter On their matter On their, on their, on their matter On their matter On their matter On their, on their, on their matter Party in Lagos & Living in LA Moving to New York and building in Paris Kids in Barbados with eggs and potatoes You living the good life and ruling in EKO The people you’re ruling got nothing to eat See everyday people are dying in heat But man no be preacher cause I gotta eat You keep on ruling I’ll stay on my feet Watch for my people I’ll help them to lead Keep them in focus I’ll teach them to breathe Growing and glowing ain’t no more defeat I’ll give em the hope, all I wish that you know as you Party in Lagos, drinks in Miami That’s how you be moving and leaving you spending it straight as it’s coming Party in Lagos Drink in Miami That’s how you be moving and leaving you spending it straight as it’s coming On their matter On their matter On their, on their, on their matter On their matter On their matter On their, on their, on their matter Oh oh oh oh Who no know now make you know Oh oh oh oh All your actions shall be known Oh oh oh oh Country fighting all its own Oh oh oh oh Who no know now make you know On their matter On their matter On their, on their, on their matter On their matter On their matter On their, on their, on their matter Party in Lagos, drinks in Miami That’s how you be moving and leaving you spending it straight as it’s coming Party in Lagos Drink in Miami That’s how you be moving and leaving you spending it straight as it’s coming FOLLOW KAR33M Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/kar33mmusic1/ Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/kar33mmusic/ Twitter // https://twitter.com/kar33mmusic Apple Music // https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/kar33m/1434253478 SoundCloud // https://soundcloud.com/user-448082533 Spotify // https://open.spotify.com/artist/7320Yw3QnbbDBjOK09tRkP?si=Sdlo3kOHSy6oCoM-CVigVw&dl_branch=1&nd=1 Tidal // https://tidal.com/browse/artist/10267714 CREDITS Writer - Abdul Muse Director - Zainab Muse Co-Producer - Chandy Perera Co-Producer - Ramoon Cinematographer - Quest Videographer - Ben Production Designer - Lorietta Muse Wardrobe Stylist - Reney Edebiri Production Manager - Zainab Muse Editor - John Henley Special Thanks To: Lorietta Irene Aishani Banggz Noor T.

Though the experiences of the members of the diaspora are not monolithic in nature, there are a few experiences that are shared. One of which is the motivation to keep moving forward in life. Regardless of the circumstances, Black people in the diaspora are always striving for success and fighting for a better tomorrow. This song by Afro-soul artist KAR33M featuring Rapper Banggz is a quick insight into what that experience feels like. The impulse to move in the morning, getting to work through mismanaged roads and public infrastructure, dealing with poor political leadership and so much more. LYRICS Verse 1 [ KAR33M] Now it's morning, the people are calling Now it's morning, the people are yawning Some people still dey die, some people still dey cry, dem say the fight wey we wan fight, Nah em go save our life Hook [KAR33M] So we move We wake up and we move So we move We wake up and we move Verse 2 [Banggz] I hear on mars, I can breathe a lil better Fuck if I know if my country's gonna let up It's a v6 put in reverse in stormy weather And speaking of v, we knee-deep in vendetta So. I hate to let her go... But lately, it seems to me like her destiny is set in stone but what do I know? I'm just a youngin with a round nose Searching for hope in a country that defines those searching for dough I just hope that I'll be fine in my regular clothes I need a second approach I need to get up off my ass and just speak on the shit Say something slick. we gon show you what is on a beat. We lit Verse 3 [KAR33M] It's time to move in silence The leaders lead with violence So we dance the dance them no wan see It's our time to rise-up Break it down now Breakdown [ Banggz & KAR33M] I just de para on the low I just de para on the low I just de para on the low I just de para on the low I just de para on the low Hook [KAR33M] So we move We wake up and we move So we move We wake up and we move FOLLOW KAR33M Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/kar33mmusic1/ Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/kar33mmusic/ Twitter // https://twitter.com/kar33mmusic Apple Music // https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/kar33m/1434253478 SoundCloud // https://soundcloud.com/user-448082533 Spotify // https://open.spotify.com/artist/7320Yw3QnbbDBjOK09tRkP?si=Sdlo3kOHSy6oCoM-CVigVw&dl_branch=1&nd=1 Tidal // https://tidal.com/browse/artist/10267714 FOLLOW Banggz Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/banggzwaves/ Twitter // https://twitter.com/banggzwaves Apple Music // https://music.apple.com/us/artist/banggz/1289979201 SoundCloud // https://soundcloud.com/banggz Spotify // https://open.spotify.com/artist/5x31gWpEhTWWp4lPmog1IH?si=hPmJOYhPSwihyFL92aM-ew CREDITS Writer - Abdul Muse Writer - Damilola Salaudeen Director - Zainab Muse Co-Producer - Delaad Co-Producer - Ramoon Cinematographer - Quest Production Designer - Lorietta Muse Wardrobe Stylist - Reney Edebiri Production Manager - Zainab Muse Editor - John Henley Special Thanks To Studio4sets Ottawa Banggz Chyme Noor Shani Chandy Perera Hot Shoe production Woke Studios

Stuck in the middle of the same story narrated from two different perspectives, Tale is a song that draws its listeners into the chaotic world of two thieves. The song follows both individuals as they steal each other’s fortunes and claim ownership each time they steal. Therefore foreshadowing a never-ending loop of thievery and false claims. This song was written by both KAR33M and Asuquomo. Both artists using the exchange between two thieves to narrate the realities faced by most African countries in the diaspora. These countries are allocated a limited amount of resources to help develop and improve their living standards, however before the resources are received by those in need, the leaders and delegates in positions of power split the resources between themselves. Essentially, stealing from their fellow citizens.

Runaway is a song that is inspired by the cool summer breeze and the possibility of a world where your wildest dreams can be achieved. This song is one that has a double meaning. On the first listen, Runaway depicts a story of love at first sight, the traditional person meets a person in a unique location, the stars aline and the next move is to make the connection deeper by creating their own space. This song is perfect for you and your significant other to ride out into the sunset with. While on the second listen, Runaway is an ode to music from its creators. Both artists attempt to ask music to give them a chance at an escape from their everyday lifestyles. Lyrics I don't really wanna waste time baby Love the rhythm of your waistline baby Tell me where you wanna go, any day you want Baby, we can runaway Runaway, Runaway, Everyday And there's nothing they could say, Runaway Tell me where you wanna go, maybe I could take you there Baby, we can runaway Told her lemme catch my breath She been runnin thru my mind I been watchin every step Lookin right into my eyes Got me banging on my Chest Told her read between the lines Throw it back I intercept That's Good As it get You know that Im here to know bout the rest Lay back with me I can take care ya stress We doin us so Who cares bout the rest Tonight's all we got, don't wan leave with regrets Head to the sky cuz the stars are my guide I ain't no Jetson but I'm feelin fly All of the odds baby we gon defy I'm Down for whatever if you by my side I don't really wanna waste time baby Love the rhythm of your waistline baby Tell me where you wanna go, any day you want Baby, we can runaway Runaway, Runaway, Everyday And there's nothing they could say, Runaway Tell me where you wanna go, maybe I could take you there Baby, we can runaway Baby Hold up You know how I do it when I Roll up The pack hella loud, dontchu burn up Things heating up, ain't no a furnace What them other lames say really don't concern us So quick on ya feet Move to the beat Night is still young, baby and so are we DJ be spinnin our song on repeat Get lost in the moment till we outta reach So let's runaway from the bullshit around us The vibe in this club kinda getting too crowded Heart on my sleeve and her lips on my collar We Hop in my whip, ask her girl are you bout it?

Shackles is a song that depicts the mental journey of a protagonist in a story about reality. Faced with the results of a society that was built on greed, corruption, and lies, the protagonist wondered what his role was in this world. He contemplated the struggles of making a change by seeking advice about the faiths of those who had tried to make a change before him. Being fully informed about their faiths, he ventures forward to attempt what has been unsuccessful thus far, and just like the legends before him, he did not return. Lyrics Lately, I have been in my feelings by my own Raping, killings while police is on patrol I no know, I no know who to blame Ole Olopa be the same for my country oh (For my country oh) I no know, I no know oh Got no hope Got no hope Got no place to be Got no hope Got no hope Got no place to breathe Thought the president was democracy But the president them de crazy So we depressed, know no more disgrace oh for my country oh I thought the president was democracy But the president them de crazy So we depressed, know no more disgrace oh for my country oh Look, truly seeking change in a land where no one stays Legends who have tried before you are left in the grave It's a puzzle in a box put away with 4 locks, hidden in Fort Knox, that's the answers to your prayers Working hard to eat Working hard to breathe The things they don't see, got me feeling like a slave Got no hope Got no hope Got no place to be Got no hope Got no hope Got no place to breathe So I put on a brave face, time to be a legend at birthplace Then I pack up my bags and I head up the street, tell my people no shaking Leave my family behind, tell my lover I'm fine and I'll be back on a Tuesday Got the prison in sight, got the shooters on stand by, it's gonna be a good day Made it all the way inside, got the answers in my hand, said I'll be back on a Tuesday. Gone is the son of the world who dared to dream Gone is a soul burden with the troubles of the world To rest with legends who know no age, no death, but peace Carved in stone their glory draws a path to the missing pieces In hopes that you find them And choose wisely Fuck, your Tuesday!

I was learning about the concept of neo-colonialism and realized how that affects the outcomes of so many events taking place in the world right now. It's easy to think things have changed in terms of colonialism but it seems they might have just become harder to see. Lyrics Naso Naso them do us Naso Naso them do us How would you feel, if I came and took the things you loved away? And I said you had to be like me How would you feel, if the world you knew, just turns its back on you?
