The picture explains a great deal. Listen to the song for the rest. Over Jay Electronica's "Exhibit A" instrumental, produced by Just Blaze. These acronyms are starting to make me sound like One Be Lo! haha Read the lyrics to grasp the song better.

Lyrics
Yo, normally I hate to do this, but this beat is just too fitting. Ay yo Jay E, Just Blaze, let me borrow this for a bit. I'll give it back. I just got a little something on my mind right now. I just gotta get it cleared out. Ay yo... I'm from a land that was fertilized by a trail of tears, The final destination of the trip of hell is here, So many roads have been taken to find success, Though, very few have managed to find it yet, So when you the bad pavement all over the place, Let it remind you of what we're hoping to gain, In return, 'cause no good is coming from here economically, Many folks opt to leave, but this has been a part of me, Ironically, I am my homeland's property, But it's similar to an old man's prophecy, A house is made from walls and beams, But to have a home, you need love and dreams, and O. State's become the latter; never could I imagine, Me gone for too long even IF I was a rapper, That's why I've grown as a winner, I stand loyal even through the coldest of winters, I'm deeply committed; for the O I'll never give up, Sometimes I feel as if I am the lone representer, Other times we're a unified family, In a place where money is God yo we crucify pennies, So cheap sh** 's deleted just to prove our worth, You turn red if you tread where we do our dirt, Now think about it.... Now I ain't crying for respect, nor saying we're better than anyone else because in my eyes, we're all equal. I'm just saying we're a little bit underrated, but we've grown to embrace it. Oklahoma is my home and region, and I will stand and defend it 'til the day I die, even when other people are not. The 405 runs in my veins yo! I'm from a place where the homeless are the number one picketers, Citizens put more trust in the criminals than the senators, Visitors are surprised to see houses instead of tepees, Prisoners livin' in overcrowded counties believe me, Our affiliation is so hard to define, The bastard child of the South, adopted kid of the Midwest, But the former is where all my potnahs have died, The quadrant that I've called home for practically all of my life, The same one that my father survived, The only in which I've bothered to drive, spent all of my time, The main one I've unregretfully placed all of my pride in, even if we do limbo with the poverty line, You see why we're never stopping our grind, 'Cause we've had it up to here with us falling behind, So even though we have people thinking we're done, The prophets say that soon we'll have fertile seasons to come, It was left to die for the same reasons it's loved, I'm a Product of the Truly Eternal Region You Shunned! Oklahoma, the land where they sent the Native Americans because they thought it was a throwaway piece of land. That was before they discovered that Black Gold existed here. Heh, I like the sound of that....Black Gold. I figured if I can make it here in this red state, I can make it anywhere. This is the original place of Black Wall Street. Think about that as the beat rides out. I'm out yo, be easy.

SHAOLIN YANKEE is coming along really nice man thanks. The track I'm gonna get you on has Pimp G on it as well. Won't be for a little while though because I'm getting all my solo tracks out the way... and I'm actually goin on vacation to Miami, so I'll be away till' August 17th. I may have to push the release date back a month... but it's all good. I'd rather have it sound perfect and have everyone on there I want to promote than rush the project feel me? But so far, it's sounding really really good. May be the best music I've created to date. But we'll leave that up to the listeners. But thanks for checking in boss... I really appreciate you wanting to be a part of SHAOLIN YANKEE. You will definitely be a HOT addition. But as far as this track goes man... WOW. This is true underground hip-hop, and I loved every second of it. I'ma add it to my station actually. This deserves to be revisited and I hope you get mad plays with this cut. One of the best I've heard from you yet! Keep doi
