Description
Well what a treat ....My old Mc .....Mr. Boss Kennedy stopped into town for a couple days so we spent our time together creating a song . This was a beat I had in the working for quite awhile . The two samples are First Alex Hallys' roots read by Darth Vader . Second Strange fruit by The great Billy Holiday . I dont usually use samples like this but I felt it was necessary to convey the message . Boss and I spent about 5 hours tracking this and mixin it down . Lyrics maybe to come . Hope you enjoy......French Toast.

Lyrics
Listen closely
Warren Smith
The preliminary snippets set a bleak stage for the ghetto story. Various conclusions could be drawn from their inclusion - from it being a general foreshadowing ... to a specific view that the dark history of slavery continues to haunt the present - but it works well as a construction to develop a progressive structure for this song-story.
I've listened closely. Still, I wish you would've posted the lyrics. I can't decipher them all. Which leaves me feeling I'm missing something - something that fills in the blanks between the roots and the reality.
Good line: penitentiary reservation - cells overbooked.
I also think you could take the rap sections a bit farther - that there's room for another verse or two, should you be motivated to do that.
Love the choruses. The harmonies grow in complexity as the song progresses.
