Bonnie Legion - No More Reignin (Original Hip Hop)

in #dsound7 years ago (edited)



"No More Reignin" is an original hip hop track produced by WMG Lab Records Chrisville off my 2014 full album release Alter Ego. This was my first full length Genre specific album in hip hop featuring performances from Jamaican rapper Jah Lyfe and UK Rapper Clyde Majik Legion. A lot of writing for this album is harder edge than some of my previous or prior material, although I have known to get a little feisty on a Grime or Rock Track.

The song is about letting go of what other people think, walking away from a fight and trying to use reason over image as a driving force.

No More Reignin

To many people in the backdrop talkin,
to many hoodies in the side court stalkin,
to many locked up, shocked up, blocked up,
grab your shoes and just keep on walking,

I got a heart that could break the system,
cant control my mind but I listen,
hear the words from your mouth that your saying,
feel the pain in your mind when your praying,
I may not believe in the Father, I may not believe in the Son,
but I believe in the spirit trapped inside of everyone,

Calm down people, listen closely,
hold your fear no time for weakness,
light outside theres freedom calling,
hold your head up fight for something,
people tag you, numbered lines,
always someone left behind,
religion called and saved the blind,
infinite universe, infinite time,
controlling comfort, feeling sick,
im walking softly with a stick,
be true to yourself,
be true to you,
no matter what the people do,

dont judge your brother go and live,
something out theres gotta give,
im tired of waiting, im tired of control,
im tired of those who wanna steal your soul,
feel all locked up in a small fish bowl,
with a strong desire that leaves a gaping hole,

I've heard all your lies, Yes, Twice before,
yes this is what im fighting for,

its my heartache, its my mission,
falling for the strong position,
INDIVIDUAL I say,
I can choose my own way.

Aint no more reignin,
throw my sword upon the ground right now,
aint no more freyin,
aint no more reignin
I'll bang both my fist on the ground right now,
till you hear what im sayin,

to many people on the pulpit talkin,
to many boxes trapped and lockin,
to many hawked up, fucked up, shut up,
close your mouth and just keep on walking,

I gotta mind and I choose to use it,
I gotta heart better fear to abuse it,
im gonna run this universe climb,
gonna make this hilltop, mountain mine,

theres people out there feeding,
theres liars out there seeding,
the dollar man is out there in the street Greeding!
the puppet masters got the strings and he keeps leading,
hold composure, better fear to know ya,
better speak your mind, or your heart grows colder,
grab your weapon give a hard shoulder,
I dont care whats said, gonna scream it bolder,
lost my patience getting older,
I burn it down, you feel it smolder,

its my heartache its my mission
falling for the strong position
individual I say,
I can choose my own way,
Calm down people, listen closely,
hold your fear no time for weakness,
light outside theres freedom calling,
hold your head up fight for something,
people tag you, numbered lines,

individual I say,
I can choose my own way,

Aint no more reignin,
throw my sword upon the ground right now,
aint no more freyin,
aint no more reignin
I'll bang both my fist on the ground right now,
till you hear what im sayin,

to many people on the pulpit talkin,
to many boxes trapped and lockin,
to many hawked up, fucked up, shut up,
close your mouth and just keep on walking,

to many people on the pulpit talkin,
to many boxes trapped and lockin,
to many hawked up, fucked up, shut up,
close your mouth and just keep on walking,

Thanks for listening

I agree one MUST let go of controlling other people 's behavior or mind. I have enough work being responsible for myself. LOL One must live their own life and of others like it fine if not fine. It takes more wisdom to walk away. A friend of mine once said to me when I was much younger, Troy pick your fights very carefully in life. He was so right. I thank Steve for enlightening me with those words. A good message and fun tune. I hope others get the message. Thanks.

very very nice ! how you pulled off all that lyrical rythmical content while still keeping good swing was amazing! that mixed with a catchy chorus did it for me . :D loved it !

hey its new sond for me but sound little bit like ryan leslie the synths and the drums i can help you with mix and mastering if you want or i can produce beats for you i'm oppenmind for new colaborations

I appreciate this type of hiphop a lot. I like electronic music a lot, and this track has many elements of that as the rap is so quick and varies in in speed giving a nice dynamic feel to the track, which I really like. I'm not a lyrics guy, therefore sorry I didn't listen to the text (or read it in your post). Vocals are for me an instrument; I presume you are the vocalist?

this was really great Bonnie :) <3 loved it!!! loved your lyrics and the way you sing it and the meaning of it!!! incredible!!! also great music!

infinite universe infinite time. like what you did with this :)
