CCB's unique ability to transform raw emotion into words make them an underground sensation in an industry plagued by generic lyrics and bubblegum beats.

Lyrics
Smokey Feat Talahi Elementary- Walk On By “Walk On By” Written by Tyler Lydeen Copyright City House Records LLC. All Rights Reserved 2012 First Verse: Well Jenny was the smart kid the best in class She made straight A grades with little effort and passed She played sports and ran track, played the flute in the band But nothing that she ever did was good enough for her dad She gave it everything she had, why she still so sad Second place in the race he’s disappointed and mad Shake his head and turn his back, tears well up in her eyes As he’s walking to the car she breaks down and cries All the pain she feels inside multiplies and hurts Cause all she really wants to hear him say he’s proud of her But not a sound was heard as he frowned her direction Looking in the mirror and she hate the reflection It’s this kind of neglecting that drive our youth to madness Try to numb the pain away and deal with the sadness It’s time that we demanded something better for our children Real men and father pay attention to their feelings Second Verse: Well Devon was eleven when he entered the gang Thought it was cool the older kids would let him kick it and hang He’d run errands for change, and little things they asked And his mamma didn’t care or know where he was at As the time went past he started breaking the law Many adults walked passed and ignored what they saw Knowing their actions are wrong, only disgust that they felt While his behavior loud screaming out this kid needs help Another young heart melts to the curse of the streets Another label slapped on him with every person he meets But even worse in the need to feel wanted and loved They were so quick to write him off and label Devon a thug They treated him like a rug, and he was walked all over No encouragement given made his heart grow colder Now this little boys older and he’s burred his friends And his thug world led him to a life in the pen Third Verse: These ain’t ordinary verse if you listen there’s a purpose Time to open up your eyes wide and see we don’t deserve this I just barely scratched the surface see and that’s what makes me nervous We degrade the youth so much they truly start to think they’re worthless My concern is overwhelming for the future of the youth That’s why I’m on this track rapping snapping speaking the truth You gotta do what you do and really fight for your dreams The best revenge for a hater’s when they see you succeed But you need to believe you got it deep in your soul Cause when you wanna give up is when you gotta fight most Work hard for your goals make sure you give it your all Its ok to fail as long as you get up if ya fall Stand ten toes tall be proud you gave it a shot Focus on what you are not everything that you’re not Never give up or stop, you gotta fight to succeed Follow these words and I promise you’ll be living your dreams Chorus: I guess they choose to be blind Ignore the struggles we climb Ask for their help but we find That they just walk on by No matter how hard they try We wont give up on the fight Succeed and hold our heads high As we just walk on by

A MASSIVE respect for you here Smokey! I really support what you've done and are currently doing here. It's very important with the youth today to try and keep their minds into something good (re music) and not out doing silly things. Really feel the verses and the hook just makes you feel real emotional just knowing that the kids are doing something positive man, well done for real!! P.s thanks for the comment on my track with Dallas bro, and my album drops June 12th. ;) B-Mize
