Kno - Spread your wings ft. Deacon the Villain
If you don't know now you Kno. Death is Silent by Kno (of Cunninlynguists) was just released a couple of days ago and this CD has been playing almost nonstop in my que. I suggest you all go out and purchase it. Many of the tracks are hard hitting with cameos from some of my favorite artists. In particular I think "Spread Your Wings" shows some pretty raw emotions.
Deacon delivers some real life strife discussing the difficulties of love and long distance. The constant turmoil of his career has created chaos in his love life. These kinds of problems are common in many peoples lives and it has become something that we just have to learn to deal with. On the other hand Kno expresses the pain associated with abortion from a males prospective. You can tell he still thinks about what could have been as well as the remorse and guilt from not trying to stop the process. This is all pretty deep and touching for a hip-hop track. What else would you expect from the Cunninlynguists??
Lyrics: Kno - Spread Your Wings ft. Deacon the VillainI claimed to be a man of faith I told her from the startA shame to say she has my heart still I want the partMy art it got me between a rock and a brick wallAnd my journey to her is feeling like a game of pitfallAnd all she want to do is study English, Law and HistoryAnd I'm a mystery a life with me is like a gypsyBut I ain't nipsy I can't hustle in the westCause the south is in my chest and I don't want to fly its nestLord...I'm young gifted and blackThanks for that but help me sift through the facts...PleaseWhen at home were a team I'm feeling like a kingFinding comfort in her heat and we just want a couple ringsBut the thing that grows in my old Kentucky homeAt it may be more than us I can feel it our toneWe aint ready for that leap maybe one day we'll be grownAnd step out our comfort zonesIf you do spread your wings please let me knowTake me with you when you go you can't leave me here aloneYou the apple of my eye before the seed was plantedBeseem the vanish before I could even see the damageBeneath the sea of ZanaxShe provide the X I provide the YBut why does she conceive the panicTo cleat us she demandedTo her it seemed so even handedI see no advantage and so I'm just screaming damnitWish you could see Atlanta wish you could see it and IWish you could see that I believe we should be togetherBut I did not protect you cause I did not correct herI learned a lesson that I guess I did not earn your presenceConcern was ever presentIf I could turn back the hands of time I'd return to find her on the 11thThe day she seem the premiseThat if she left the clinic premises without your essence she would leave with stressesSo we agree it's a womens preferenceBut if she loved me she would have second guessed itAnd now I keep saying...
take me whit you when you go
