Written by KDFoxx Thumbnail & Cover art: KDFoxx :: SONG/DESCRIPTION :: Maryland-born MC, producer, artist, and educator Substantial teams up with KD Foxx for one of the best collaborations you’ll hear this year. Speaking about the new release, Substantial shares, “Your Greatest Weapon is about self-empowerment and realizing that the most powerful weapon that we have is our voice.” ‘YGW’s’ production is a chill midtempo groove, filled with smooth bass, rhythm guitar, chopped drum, and clarinet samples, and expertly-played vibraphone courtesy of Malcolm Jackson. MLLN’s jazzy vocals are the icing on this delicious Jazz-Hop cake. :: LYRICS :: (MLLN) If you ever doubted me I could make you regret everything Time to lift my voice and sing It’s the greatest weapon I can bring Greatest Weapon! (Substantial) Here to put a stop to the anguish But they don’t understand like I’m speaking a dead language Devoured big beef ‘fore I was ever fed angus Went to battle with friends then mourned for dead strangers I was bred dangerous but peace is the objective Easily subjective to the heathens I connect with Seem to be respected ‘mongst the beast in my collective Ignored by the masses so I speak for the rejected And the speakers are connected just to amplify our voice They ain’t built for the journey but I never had a choice Doubt is louder than cheers but I’m drowning out the noise They don’t know who we be like DMX and Dubois So to those who ain’t been informed I am fire in a winter storm, first blooming flower when the winter’s gone Solitude sang by Sarah Vaughn, every note is integral And great’s the minimum… when the pressure’s on (MLLN) If you ever doubted me (ah ahhh) I could make you regret everything (regret everything) Time to lift my voice and sing (ooh ooh) It’s the greatest weapon I can bring Greatest Weapon! (Substantial) Heart on my sleeve, dirt in my claws, eyes on the prize Sharpen my teeth on food for thought, pride on the side Guarding the weak, put up my paws, lives on the line Call of the beast, no matter the cost, I’m fine with the fines Inclined to find a way when there ain’t one in view Trying to climb but can’t save every one of you This kind of design is made just for a humble few. Some don’t mind the mines and lose no matter what I do I do what hunters do, fam I love, prey, and eat And the tongue that I speak is a drum in a beat That’s guiding you thru the rhythm of life if you dare to dance Out here shining light to help people lift out of their trance King checked by pawns and a knight and can’t advance Til we rearrange the game and opponents shit in their pants Strength in our stance, pens in our hands looking like weapons Those that overstand what we saying, they see the blessing (Br’er) Music is the entity that forged angels Sing a song only few will understand And it shall be your greatest weapon (MLLN) If you ever doubted me (ah ahhh) I could make you regret everything (regret everything) Time to lift my voice and sing (ooh ooh) It’s the greatest weapon I can bring Greatest Weapon! :: ABOUT ANIMAL ARITHMETIC :: Animal Arithmetic (AA) is an end-times story - a call to introspection - in the form of manga, animation, and Jazz-Hop.
