The CrossRhodes Releases "Footprints On The Moon"

Raheem Devaughn And The CrossRhodes Collaborator Wes Felton Sing About Racial Injustice

This is a reintroduction for many and a formal introduction for a few. Before Grammy Award Nominated Recording Artist, Raheem DeVaughn, became a rising R&B artist, the singer and his lyrical collaborator, Wes Felton, set DC ablaze with their group, The CrossRhodes. Inspired by the unlawful murder of Freddie Gray, Raheem and Wes reunited to provide the soundtrack to address valid concerns affecting the Global community especially the plight of the minority community. Both the sons of jazz musicians meshed lush neo-soul crooning with socially conscious hip-hop word flow. Their first single is the album title track, “Footprints On The Moon” from their forthcoming album being released through BMG in early 2017.

If you want to get a better look at the lyrics we have posted them below:

Footprints on the Moon

You deserve the world my negus

See the world is yours my negus

See it’s never too soon my negus

For Footprints on the Moon my negus

Push the limit my G

Don’t settle for the city the block or the street

They lyin’ bout them there two white feet

That landed on the moon a year after they killed King

What if I told you that the sky was the ground

Of a universal planet that this planet never found

I bet there’s no ni**as on Mars how that sound?

No need for cars, fake broads or fake pounds

I hear them Scooby snacks and them PO packs

Got y’all movin’ while standin’ in the same traps

But you deserve what the lord gave ya’

Hallaluleh! All them flavors

I had a blue dream bout a blue satellite

Sour in my diesel pushin’ a northern light

Crossrhodes in the speaker

Rah on the right

We are medicine doctor atomics in flight

Y’all scared to be y’all selves

Sellin’ your souls by the pound for the fallacy of wealth

We all the new slaves it’s such a catchy phrase

Thousand dolla cotton tees

Corn-husk maze, dance on command

Shuck and play

Build that machine, but tear down the rage

Are you choosin’ or are you being made?

Chains around your neck bearin’ your slave name

Shame your sista’s leave them scarred and stained

Make em never ever wanna trust and love again

We done gave away rhythm and blues

Word to Justin

I know some crooked suits and ties I don’t trust ‘em

The only topic of discussion is who they touchin’

Or who they buyin’ or who they fu**in’

Y’all hangin’ on their words

Youngin’ bangin’ on their words

Little girls getting raped grown girls bankin’ on their words

its all love and hip hop

We’ll call this love and jazz

minus the shady broads or peter gunz throwin’ glass

this country’s got a real scary past

that’s why I wonder how long the empire gonna last

blown away thrown away they recycling the trash

they aint about that life, they just takin actin class

pinnochio’s poets sippin yack and moet

its designed to control yall minds, but yall wont notice

You deserve the world my negus

See the world is yours my negus

See it’s never too soon my negus

For Footprints on the Moon my negus

I know you been hungry in these streets my negus

Had those shoes with holes on your feet my negus

No money in your wallet or your jeans my negus

Tryin’ to stay close to God on your deen

Police on every block with the glock my negus

While negus still getting shot and popped by negus

They gave that boy life when they caught my ni**a

He called me from the cell on a cell like my ni**a

Wake up and smell the J and find a dream my ni**a

Livin the image of God, King and Queens my negus

And just last I had a dream my negus

You can do it you can see it you can be it my negus

See places and faces never seen my ni**a

You aint gotta sell your soul for the cream my ni**a

For a piece of the American Dream my ni**a

From my OG from me to you to my negus

You deserve the world, my Negus

See the world is yours, my Negus

See it’s never too soon, my Negus

For Footprints on the Moon, my Negus

Powerful stuff!
