about
This IS hip hop. A beat, carved out of AWOLNATION's classic, "Sail," then whittled down to the bare essentials. Add two lyricists with complementing points of view and you have a new tune from an old one, helping provide hope for the hopeless and anyone else that has lost their way.

lyrics
malechai's verse)
Standing on the bottom of the sea/sky
Scraping by
Wouldn't call this happy
Covered, bone-anchor is spirit trapping
This is the way that my mind's reacting
I'd leave here gladly
Tag my toe and let me go
Burn me up
No Funeral
Yo
I know that my pain will be done when I'm gone
Spirit away to the great beyond
I'm coming home
Going alone
Knowing my words will continue to live on
Freedom
Go on ahead
Keep singing along
A song's been sung
Only now its done from different lungs
(Biffy's verse)
Staring at your casket
Graveside
Black suit and tie
No sad tears
Anger is why I cry
Ask you why
Get no reply
Recite some Psalms
Hug your Moms
Then try to move on
I hope all your pain is done now that you're gone
You left us behind
Ours now lives on
Dead lungs
They try and they try
But they can't sing your songs
Selfish
You stole the words you'd yet to write
Took them away the night you took your life
You get eternal peace
While I get sleepless nights
Standing on the bottom of the sea/sky
Scraping by
Wouldn't call this happy
Covered, bone-anchor is spirit trapping
This is the way that my mind's reacting
I'd leave here gladly
Tag my toe and let me go
Burn me up
No Funeral
Yo
I know that my pain will be done when I'm gone
Spirit away to the great beyond
I'm coming home
Going alone
Knowing my words will continue to live on
Freedom
Go on ahead
Keep singing along
A song's been sung
Only now its done from different lungs
(Biffy's verse)
Staring at your casket
Graveside
Black suit and tie
No sad tears
Anger is why I cry
Ask you why
Get no reply
Recite some Psalms
Hug your Moms
Then try to move on
I hope all your pain is done now that you're gone
You left us behind
Ours now lives on
Dead lungs
They try and they try
But they can't sing your songs
Selfish
You stole the words you'd yet to write
Took them away the night you took your life
You get eternal peace
While I get sleepless nights
