Listen to 1984 Today feat. “Land of the Free”
Andrew: To me, Jazz is very present in today’s music. Maybe not with a big band like Louis Armstrong, or the quartets of the 50’s and 60’s, but the harmonies and melodies and thought process are everywhere. Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” is a ma...
[Verse]
In this land where every man is raised to wanna be king
I wish it didn’t hurt me but I’ve learned some things
Lessons learned hard leave the wisdom of scars
While the punches of the world can leave a visionary marred
What’s life like in the US you ask me?
What’s it like starring at a meal and still fasting
Images flashing, “you can have this”
But it’s best to keep the cash up under your mattress
Better yet don't keep the cash at all
Its just currency it certainly will crash and fall
They've got a printing press, the shit's a mess
Waking up one day and your money is worth less, stress
Medical bills, the shit is for real
Prescription, addiction, and the proof is a pill
Through our beautiful will we turn chaos to glory
We thrive and stay alive in this American story
[Hook]
Do what ya feel, do what we say
Land of the free, home of the brave
Do what ya feel, do what we say
Land of the free, home of the brave
Have a long stay, have a short stay
We gettin' paid either way this is the USA
[Instrumental]
[Hook]
Do what ya feel, do what we say
Land of the free, home of the brave
Have a long stay, have a short stay
We gettin' paid either way this is the USA
Do what ya feel, do what we say
Land of the free, home of the brave
Have a long stay, have a short stay
We gettin' paid either way this is the USA
Do what ya feel, do what we say
Land of the free, home of the brave
Have a long stay, have a short stay
We gettin' paid either way this is the USA
Do what ya feel, do what we say
Land of the free, home of the brave
Have a long stay, have a short stay
We gettin' paid either way this is the USA

Land of the Free was something Russ and I put together, and we knew pretty quickly that we wanted it to be more of a Hip Hop track. I was always a huge Mr. Lif fan so I reached out and we basically had a conversation about the some of the things going on socially in the USA, and things you realize w...
Red Rocks with The Floozies & SunSquabi earlier this October was something else. Being able to play with your friends & label mates is something we all strive for.
