about

Picture a satellite hovering over a planet. It’s feeding every media outlet self-destructive propaganda. A small group of extraterrestrials crash land on that same planet. They infiltrate the places people gather and slowly change the satellite feed and begin to tear down the system already in place. Basically, we’re saying we belonged to the club culture, know how to do it like the best of them, but we have a different vision – a different message. I felt like Missy Elliot the first time I heard this beat from Russian production team Brilliant Handz. As soon as I started on the hook, I heard Shonlock and Del. Don’t ask me how, but I did. I think back on home visits with parolees and the first thing they wanted to do when they got in my car was turn the radio on and up. What’s feeding their hustle? What’s their motivation music? This will be.

We don’t fight against flesh and blood, but against rulers in high places. Our true haters aren’t people. There are messages constantly feed to society and specifically our young people that are toxic. We are in the world, but not of it and it’s our job to help others flip that switch. Our entrance to this world seems like a crash landing at times, but that’s what this culture needs. Go back to where you came from and bring them out!

lyrics

Verse 1:
Tear the club up - tear the freakin’ club up,
Do it for the truth not just for the thug love,
Givin’ me looks cause,- they ain't never heard of,
Nothin’ like this but we just on the warm up (ha ha),
Word up – motivation in my cup,
I'm an alien let me – let me learn ya,
Been watchin’ from my spot and enough is enough,
Bout to tear it down till they screaming turn it up!,
(Turn it Up!) Crash Landing – let the smoke clear,
No matter why I’m here – please take me to your leader,
Got boots on the street – propaganda on the wire,
It’s a cold cold war,- light the world on fire!

Chorus:
Y’all haters just can’t stand it,
We run circles round your planet,
What’s the damage – just crash-landed in here (Awwwww Yeahhhhh! – Let’s Work!)
Put down a little now I’m workin’ with a lot,
Put down a little now I’m workin’ with a lot,
Put down a little now I’m workin’ with a lot,
Pulled down a little now I’m workin’ WORKIN’!
(Repeat 1x)

Verse 2:
Heard it on the news - see it to believe it,
We are so extra - outta space even,
This is P-rox - this is my season,
Death to the satellite - down with the demon,
Shonlock – Awww… golly gee, wally crash the party on a dolly,
Kick – push – paradigm shift while I ollie,
Follow me on a trolly – maybe me and you could polly – cause you know, I could use somebody,
Ha ha, awww…
See them catch on clique characters loose character,
When the conscious come to clash and abolish the past,
Blast! Kick – ball – paragraph smash,
Not much longer will this non-sense last,
Gettin’ loaded off the letters that my leader left look,
Fresh burial resurrection book,
Shook – come and get a little better look,
Death to the flesh is all it really took

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Make the body rock – make the rock,
Let the change start – let the same stop,
(Repeat 1x)
Mr. Del – Uh, kingdom come – I’m from,
Mr. bang heads like bum pa rum pa pum pum pum,
All about the Son – crash land for the fun,
Me and Holy South got them demons on the run – huh,
Yeah, I get busy when I want to,
Bring me a soul and I just might front you,
I came to tear I down – just to build it up,
Ground zero with my hero hold up catch up,
What up? Memphis in the building,
Came to represent for all God’s children,
Man I went platinum and it didn’t take a million,
Impact multiply – goin on a zillion.

(Chorus)
