Marcey Yates: Say it what it feel like Gotta look both ways at the light Try to press gas at stop sign Might run up on em w a Glock 9 Feeling like it’s sunshine Might pull the heat this one time My pull the 3 this one time Might hit delete this one time My living is great my gram is straight I praise my lord every day Bridges made can’t complain Make a road pave my lane Picking the speed I’m stick n cruise Enjoy all moments thats I been through Looking at something that a nigga choose Understanding what you should do. Hook x2: Inherit the earth but what is it worth A bottle of pills, been stunting since birth Momma ya purse, son in a hearse Shooting they looking They booking him first Making it hurt president killing And making it worse now Play it in church. CHUUCH! Praising the lord ain't seeming to work. Xoboi: We be on that wave no coast guard Not available for public statements Send regards through post cards Making modern day slave wages Save and account for every cent Every sense, ever since Express train pass innocence Excess game as limitless Just suppose I'm a Doggy on a leash go fetch Fling on a throne I’m a catch You could write an exposé on a sesh My Flesh and bone stay Etched in stone let’s Not and Say we Did Nod and play along Stayed way too long Gotten used to it Far removed from this We remain calm. Hook x2: Inherit the earth but what is it worth A bottle of pills, been stunting since birth Momma ya purse, son in a hearse Shooting they looking They booking him first Making it hurt president killing And making it worse now Play it in church. CHUUCH! Praising the lord ain't seeming to work.

XOBOI: Say this is not my beautiful, my beautiful. Alright so papa had a dream, a dream Mama got caught said it wasn't what it seemed Lil bro did everything he could to make the team Big sis tried not to fall apart at the seams ,what does it mean It doesn't matter cuz it is what it is Let the ends meet the mids and the kids will be, kids I broke my cuticles in half so I quit my cubicle job and laughed Now I'm LLC give the rest for free Gonna fight to the Finish elbows and knees, cheese That pic lasts longer then brass armor That harm you caused gon' catch Karma Them hearts you broke now glass shards Now we all feel trapped our backyards We live in unusual days You all used to it anyway. Hook x2: Things don't feel real suitable today Got to get away from usual complaints Step outside yourself and say This is not my beautiful decay Marcey Yates: It’s summertime you can see it going down The wind blow but the flow keep slowing down The police always trynna hold us down And we keep talking shit so they really know us now Old heads talk about our new faces Can’t tell who is who like who raised us On my block I’m just hoping to stay Save a dollar everyday like a coupon exchange I’m Getting bigger who decided to stay Producer rapper turned ‘hmm’ now what more can I say ’Til they legalized weed I get my kush in LA And visit every city high ’til I push and I play Used to wait for that call like it is any day Put my city on a vibe like a cover with Mase. The way they throwing water it’s like i'm catching a case ’Til the end of time a marathon I'm running this, race. Hook x2 J.Crum: I’m running over curses known to clash with titans no third eye illumination but I Have been enlightened What matters in this life don’t match what y’all be hyping Your brand it maybe rising but i see your soul in crisis You really can’t price it huh got the peace that pass understanding You telling me I can ease on the fighting huh cuz the God on my side got it Handled Told me Crum don’t you panic raise that banner you won that battle Nothing forced no the growth is organic never been without he’s outstanding Outlasting every blast that’s cast against me He is my defender so your lashes cannot offend me Been on the path of greatness since the day his grace descended Ain’t no simp up in my blood I won’t give in to what I’m tempted Healthy distance from my mentions ppl pleasing causes tension have you straying from your mission just to find out they ain’t with ya Tryna’ have you missing really you can miss me see you ill intentions No pursuing that perdition God provides partitions I ain’t listening Hook x2

Hook: Coulda been a shitty day, but I won’t let it. Coulda been a shitty day yeah, but I try to forget it. Marcey Yates: Raise ya glass in it Matter fact put some class in it If ain’t gas I cant pass w it Nice jeans got some ass in it Better learn put some class in it Got goals Basket in it Want more money put cash in it Darker then days Thats normal I say Use energy different Since I started to change Use my energy different Start to market my name I see the energy’s different Since the markets done change Still Got it Million dollars topics Wrist gleaming off the 90s Vintage so i bought it Culxr always up for sale Summers they be shopping 1st day of school being fresh My only option Boy better stop it Congress just watching Cops on the side of street Like a possum Reaching for my gun Be the reason they shot em’ Play it cool like Chili Palmer with the mobsters. Hook x2: XOBOI: Sometimes We all need to lay in the sunshine Like play all day maybe unwind That's just fine, come find me later unconfined Taking on a frontline Assault the results labeled unknown Apologies my fault make em' all halt Cataracts catapulted to the catacombs All negative thoughts seal em’ in a vault We on a voyáge finna' boycott Right now Culxr House is a sure shot And you're not No sleep cuz a tour stop Hands up till ya’ feel like the floor dropped Groovin’ with you all night ’til they lock the doors Made an impact They can feel the shock absorb Train of thought all me yall can hop aboard We not to be ignored. Hook x2: Said that I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried. Try to forget it, try to move on. Try my very best, to make my way back home. Home where they love me, home where I’m strong. Home where my heart is. Home where I belong. X2

Live from the bacc of the mat bus I got my Mac tucced Headphones banginit's maxed up I cracc a brewand start to cracc up Let me go cop a 5th and get faded smacced Like a mat trucc I'm Suga Free these bitches act up Don’t make me break every ring over my finger Cuz of your bad lucc The captain coming with the bacc up They done went jump ship now them tidal waves Streaming bacc up Crows nest climbing bacc up Get yo haul split like iceberg down for the long haul Capsizing on you corn balls They done fell in the grease in the heat waiting to turn y'all Catching Z’s and seem to burn y'all I been lucid and trippin forgetting I left the stove on It's like my ppl waited so long Hells ceiling got heater Tryna’ turn you into a fans yall. Hook: Cooler than a fan mama Chillin’ in a freezer She said I only talk fiction But I’ma make you a believer Ya’ talkin’ all that shit. Say I talk all that shit But I’ma see about that shit, Hey. I’ma make you a believer. VERZE: Believe it! Black Uzamaki to demons Add a nigguh bust to the mountain top for allegiance I pledge I'll always jump from the ledge this flight a’int deceiving Human Mother Ship with some stellar drip I'll propel a stick with eloquence Nigguhz pop trunk as if elephant This World's nutty these girls slutty her pearls bloody Scarred diamonds from damage that only spell ugly Beautiful Tales get hailed like making church money Praise the lord I'm blessed as ancient floors Met by the knees of the pleading needing a chore Picture nigguhz reading and settling every score til the end zone deeper than Creatures under the shore I lock nest in my pocket and hatch excellence Nurture every verse to the max til the flaps effortless Soaring cross the map walks in the book of exodus Dead center like Manute Bol spottin’ loop holes.

Marcey Yates: Oceanside with my- weighing dope on a scale North park the fresh yard, if it’s dope it'll sell Like Stockton and Malone get assist in the mail Pass the ball so much, no look you can tell I don’t care we all winning, I like my girls I like my women It’s Omaha I ain’t really tripping Got points book a stay Reservations for another day View so good like glad you came Play to win, like I own the team Juice Wrld lucid dreams They really love me cuz I’m on the scene Shooting shots like a Glock fiend Rub it in about cream Been learning it’s not about me Land the plane get control of your soul Let the chocolate boy wonder Make ya vision unfold Mask and glove a different story Now the mission is told Keep that same energy Now that marching is old. Hook: Profit and a new stash No news is good news in that world of Food stamps for fruit snacks On it for a few stacks Profit and a New stash.. Trade a food stamp for fruit snacks. XOBOI: Live freely New age theory Whitey on the Moon I Try to keep peace treaties And how could that judge justify time served with out jail time When a crime committed in limelight on a front page of the Daily Times But that's Day to Day Life Living check to check Can't even get respect no more Because they disconnected I just met this connect, Ed He said he'd cover the spread I told him "Butter" but I can't believe everything that they saying these days man Peaceful, now it isn't part of the game plan Shake hands with the wicked kind Pick a side then picket sign Make sure you get a pic. Conny Franko: Call Conny for 4 quarters a day Call Conny for mortar for the quarter pipe we gonna pour our way Nah nah cc: Conny he work for play, paid in funny paper Pay your funny neighbor, to stay the fuck off my shade Sir me, king me, bet your entire shoebox. Pesos heaven sent through the queue, Bumped through the jukebox Under the cherry moon with prince and a juice box I set the pace, to bend the spoons for these doomed gods Serving all fall, fallen fates and fruit bats Blood of dead dogs and dogged on rude rats Seeking sobs, songs of do-gooders new trash I’ve been with it Since grandpa’s zoot suits and shoe rags.

They used to call me perfect now they ask where I been They want my verses with a pad and a pen I gotta couple stories to tell and I’m reimagining them So I can transfer all the madness to zen Everybody wanna talk but ain't got nothing to do Everybody wanna act like I ain’t talking to you I been nervous it’s lip service, But this certain so get working I mean that, I mean Quit holding back the solutions We live from the Culxr House, this is a revolution On vinyl it won’t be televised MTV took away music and replaced it with hella lies Lyrics burning up the place We the hottest in the building and I’ll say it with my face So we bout to shut it down, yeah we coming with the change If you ain’t ready then get up out the way, OK.

For what I see For all I do For who I be Between you and me This music isn’t just a way for me to flex Though I don’t mind the attention when they scream and call me Dex Cuz I know it represent vibration flowing out my body I get it from divinity I deliver this energy It’s mad lemony electrolyte Sometimes I gotta turn it down cuz it shine so bright Sometimes I’m going downtown for an awesome night It’s mad lemony Electro Light And other times really I just wanna go to sleep Cuz the weight of the world feels heavy and deep Sometimes the only thing you can believe in is change Do you know why I feel this way? Do you know why I feel this way? I don't know why I feel this way.

Come Back Sandy: I wasn’t giving a lot I took it all in the more that I got I took it all in the more that I gained I learned that the pleasure won’t take away pain Commas on your paycheck can only pay rent they can’t buy you love Karma is the apex no takin rain checks when it’s said and done life’s an experiment...We learn through experience I’m kinda curious why am I fearing it? I get in my way and worry what all of the people might say I am afraid but I won’t let fear get in my way Like the times I did drugs to cover up shadows plaguin’ my soul At the time I was not enough what I needed was from my own Self my own help deep in the soil to grow Plant the seeds of fantasies findin’ my center my home My whole self left my old self back on a shelf in my dome Back when I was all alone I sat on the steps of a thrown Wonderin’ why all the people can’t see that’s where I belong Wonderin’ why all the people can’t see that’s where I belong Hook x2: They say they got me Caught me reaching out but do you really copy This walkie-talkie faulty and the system’s choppy Send out a signal promptly and maybe waves will reach them Without a single drowning. Sauce Gawd: I look my mama in her eyes say better times is coming See we been hustling but we struggle like we grind for nothing See nigga’s greedy and that money is a slimy substance I’m from the city where that trigger just a try me button No they don’t care about to ass these mf’s heartless But see we hungry man we starving we gon’ eat regardless Plus if you eating you get money you a fucking target Keep pistols sparking cuz these niggas they gon’ get retarded We all just prisoners in the land of the free They stole the land but if we staying they demanding a fee The 402 where I reside I call the land of the beef Got lil homies with the chop that wack ya mans for the cheap Be on alert they pop a nigga like a Xan if he sleep Niggas get sprayed so just make sure you got the can when you creep Can’t catch me slipping if you tripping I’m gon’ handle the weak A hot nigga I keep it cool cuz I’m the man with the heat Sell sand just to eat. Hook x2: Corro Corleone: Hey say they got me Got me reaching out but i can’t feed the posse Walkie talkie steady callin' Ion see the non sense They throwing out these signals but ain’t taking caution My mind flauntin' The rain faulty Is it really cloudy Got me smokin by lonely Ion need nobody Do they really copy When you down and out it I’m mediating while surfin' thru these circus problem When come from the last sip out that baby bottle Hard pills to swallow Ease the pain so I won’t feel notta NHOUXE villains known beat the comics S/O to my queen of goddess Got my throne on fine carpet And my champagne on a chilly chalice Got me runnin' top of margins To the place I first started Can’t go to the bottom Might drown to the nearest founder Corleone not The Godfather Hook x2:

Mars Black: With this cute one She from Busan Loves grass on her feet Never got shoes on She a true one Got the whole place Smelling like jasmine And coconut milk Keep it skin on skin Baby smooth like silk We get it poppin’ Tuesday to Tuesday No means no Baby you gotta choose me Back when my momma Sent me to the corner For loosies The older ladies Used to call me cutie Now I roll up a doobie Rubbing on her bootie She wanna Live a life With no drama Affect change Like Obama Praises to Rama She my happiness On my momma Always and forever Just like that song say Blue skies and even grey days Hood pulled up To avoid a crowd As the Bass pound She dances in the sunlight While I blow this loud We Puff puff pass And retreat into clouds. Donald Profound: Been down this road before It's one way on a dead-end My best guess is a death threat away from being under-appreciated Away from the plans baby we have deviated A caveman in the ways I communicated- assume the worst Could you look alive looking forward to good times I decide to push aside my good intent Please don't insult my intellect I'll show respect when you disconnect Neglect your persona non grata it’s ‘Hakuna Matata,’ during my stigmata "No worries." Cause bleeding never hurt nobody Except for the vain type, Oh you negative Don't need a donor baby that's the way it is. Hook: Ghost in the wind Most like posing with them Blow smoke like Gone with the Wind Game tight we opposing the win.

XOBOI: Uh-Oh That's a big no-no Up close and personal Like a digi photo Fast livin' let em' die slow Winding roads and time flow macro to micro They wage war by page four State your name and hang your sword Came for the reward It wasn't cause we was bored It's cuz what we absorbed Was all we could afford Just because I want it, it doesn't mean I need it And just because I need it, don’t mean that I deserve it We bought into the lore And stories of the glory And I-R-L It's much more gory Wanna hear my name but a lot though Same highway new pothole Safe ride back on a one way, road In a new time zone when I came home.

about

On July 30th, Saddle Creek will release a bold new project in the form of Culxr House:Freedom Summer, a collaborative project showcasing a host of talent from Omaha, Nebraska, all of whom are tied to Culxr House: an innovative community hub based in the city that focuses on providing artists and creatives a safe space to grow their talent and obtain access to resources necessary to turn their art into economic opportunities. Culxr House exists to bridge both social and economic gaps through the cultivation of talent and artistry within the inner city.

Culxr House also served as a nerve center for the protests carried out in Omaha beginning in the summer of 2020, aka, Freedom Summer. The Culxr House family helped to pull people together, inspiring the community to talk about what needed to happen in order to evoke both global and local change. The collective family that are showcased on the new album ~ and the songs they created ~ grew from both those meetings and the venue’s open mic nights. The finished album is proof of the magic that can grow from collaboration and from instigating the bonds of community when it’s most needed.

A wholly important release in its own right, the record is also a reflection of the strength found in Omaha’s culture and community. Available digitally and via a limited edition vinyl run, 50% of the album’s profits will be shared between the artists involved, with the other 50% donated directly to the Culxr House venue that brought this project to life.
