about

Pulsing from the nerve center of Jellowstone Studios in Richmond VA, Butcher Brown takes careful note of the history and legacy of jazz and throws caution to the wind. Their musical vibe blends jazz with hip hop, funk, rap, rock and soul. The group honors each musical genre and, at the same time, challenges traditional musical boundaries. The result is their most exciting collection of tracks to date. Butcher Brown features Tennishu, Morgan Burrs, Corey Fonville, Andrew Randazzo, and DJ Harrison.

lyrics

I just want freedom to not think about freedom
We learned his-story and not our-story why the mislead-em
Money power and guns that a wild threesome
Life seem shorter for us that why we not sleeping
Our women over stressed cant do another stretch
No yoga, life sweating out her silk press
She never had a silk shirt
Soft cheeks get watered when she feel hurt
Just sista such and such just filling church
Cause brother so and so, under all the dirt
And the weight on her shoulder she wanna fly
Sliding in shoes that just ain’t her size
23 and 1 hr to see the sky
Jail calls from my brother glad he still alive
I tell him hold I can feel him slide
And write a song a bout it when I feed the vibe

Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you going?
Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you heading to?
Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you come from?
Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you going?

My skin is brown my nose is wide
Smoking on Mary lower my eyes
Dreaming of photographs I done clipped out
Survivors guilt Nana never had the big house
Auntie still go plastic on her couch
Church on Sunday no cussing was allowed
Her husband on the porch talking loud
Cup full a liquor he might drown
Bad swimmer
Aroma from the corner where the crabs simmer
Couple dozen not a bad dinner
Night fall lullabies, gunshots might adlib ya
Man morning they mourning in a tee shirt with a mans picture
Granny spin a pitcher fresh Kool Aid
Starter jackets gold chains and some new jays
Caddilac passing by the spare had a suit case
Shorty on the passenger had a due date for a…

Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you going?
Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you heading to?
Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you come from?
Black Man! Black Man!
Do you know where you going?
