Pre-Order "The War Of Art: 1st Issue 'Limited Edition' CD" (Click Link)
http://www.ruelvolution.bandcamp.com
The track shares the same title as the album "The War Of Art", and helps set the tone for the direction Ruel has decided to take artistically throughout the project. Armed with a dark instrumental produced by the talented duo known as WE LAAFN, Ruel delivers an abstract yet descriptive message to his listeners, reminding them of the pending war the media and the entire country has declared on Hip Hop music and it's community as a whole.
(Lyrics)
The official adventures of... RUEL
You heard it on the radio, you've seen it on the TV show,
We had did things in the past, you know? and he like, came through, Man like a thoroughbred,
Alright,
All these other people that don't write, they're excluded, I don't care about them, you know? They don't matter to me,
But like, we're gonna crush him!
(Laugh) You crazy?
We don't like something in this country, we declare war on it..
The war on poverty...
The war on drugs...
The war on crime...
The war on AIDS...
The war on... Art...
(1st Verse)
Spark the "Ruelvolution" against the institutions that enslaved our strong and yet poor... fathers,
if not don't even bother, cuz you like them worship the dollar over honor,
and I'm like those that rather die for their daughters, and never looked for gold down at the bottom of the harbors, where shackled, dead slaves decayed, and some say, you can hear the screams mixed in the crashes of waves,
smoke mic's like fiends some possessions away, y'all are toys in decoy, deployed to destroy, b-boys with d-boy slang, and gang-bang, but I ain't never heard of black-man they won't hang,
so I don't walk around with 50 niggas behind me, cuz those same 50 niggas when I'm locked won't mind me,
if teaching ain't a part of the deal, then don't sign me, I'm strong enough to do it on my own, get gone, this shit's war...
(2nd Verse)
They say the Kings of Zion, were raised by the lion, stolen by the white ghost, and forced to be bygone, with pale skin savages, theses are the fireside tales old folks tell their kids at their marriages,
thinking of times they rode 5 men carriages, now their backs ruined from the hits from the whips,
and you dance for em' making hits for your chips, little greedy ass niggas with cysts on their tips,
they need a leader, someone that could feed em', the truth without boring them to death, and save em' from the bottom feeders, life as a felon makes you fear a misdemeanor, cuz the smallest of things sends you back, please believe em', but no Delorian, just Po-Po with guns and handcuffs to prove the kind of war we're in, destined to die since the ride through the Fallopian, it's Opium to virgin lungs the way that their going in...
(3rd Verse)
They said if BIG was alive Jay wouldn't be the king,
If Nas never signed Queens wouldn't mean a thing,
If 50 never got shot, he would never be hot,
these are the things that the media feeds, to the seeds which need more hope against greed, but they breed in front of flat screens, with rich dreams,
nobody works anymore, they just scheme,
"The Situation" was the annihilation of smart teens, just another way this devil nation destroys teams, of rebel like minds that'll unveil the blind, speak to the deaf, and refine the minds, of the obese, that refuse, to rebuke the swine,
but I ain't garbage, I ain't trying to kick knowledge, I'm only stating the obvious, on a beat that's brolic,
the war that you see on the news is used to, distract you from the fact they're at war against you...
