LYRICS:

Channel all the ones im feeling
Womb is heavy im bleeding
Tv channels misleading
Always exposing leaking
We get mad, we seething
Blood boiling, its heating
Ancestors say look down
Light in the cracks - you’re leaking


CHORUS:
Head down
Keep my head down
Cuz this life bout to push me to the edge now
To the edge now
And it could of been so simple but its dread now
Yea its dread now
But light is in the cracks thats being wedged how
You gotta get down

VERSE1:

I was lost and found my truth
This thing deeper than the coco hue
This grim reaper with the staff in his hand
Scaring those that never lost never lose
And if you see what he’s asking for
Then you will know another side of the truth
And this that rebirth we dying for
but its not pretty this is gritty they aloof
So they wanna keep their

CHORUS:
Head down
Keep my head down
Cuz this life bout to push me to the edge now
To the edge now
And it could of been so simple but its dread now
Yea its dread now
But light is in the cracks thats being wedged how
You gotta get down


VERSE 2:
But are you seeing with ya soul baby
Oh you want some one to blame
But the seed is the one you sown
Oh dont have to be ashamed
Just please recover
You nuh see we fighting for the mother
Ya nuh feel it (uh)
Plant your feet in the soil baby
They gon talk the talk
And try to mock but you gotta keep your

CHORUS:
Head down
Keep my head down
Cuz this life bout to push me to the edge now
To the edge now
And it could of been so simple but its dread now
Yea its dread now
But light is in the cracks thats being wedged how
You gotta get down

OUTRO:
Channel all the ones im feeling
Womb is heavy im bleeding
Tv channels misleading
Always exposing leaking
We get mad, we seething
Blood boiling, its heating
Ancestors say look down
Light in the cracks - you’re leaking

I been waiting for the moment I can speak
I been waiting for the moment I can breathe
I been waiting for the moment that you see
You’re
In the way of the love that moving through we
And aint no chains gon stop me ripping through this beat
Its in my veins its in my blood I monthly bleed
The DNA is thicker slicker than the demons
See its the Ethio-Egyptian inside of me
And all this dark you are just so ashamed to feel
You see its backed up stacked up in your ovaries
And if your gonna love from this state which you will
Its just the side of the truth that you had to see
Uhhhh

Release, Go down (x3)
Back up and ground
Release go down (x3)
Back up and ground

CHORUS:
Just keep your head down
Keep your head down
Cuz this life bout to push you to the edge now
To the edge now
And it couldve been so simple cuz its dread now
Only dread now
But light is in the crack thats being wedged how
You gotta get down

What one of the most important artists the world is ever gonna see

[DaneanTho]

It’s like....Rihanna and Nirvana had a baby....and I’m literally in love.

[okusangara]

I have never witnessed anything like this. It goes beyond her. She is deadly and this is a dangerous game but something tells me Alewya and her lineage are prepared.
I pray for your protection and I for one am receiving you. Thanking you and your Ancestors for what you have decided to embark on.
Truly an African spirit in the most raw form.

[kash.e.w.]

This is the most vibrationally in tune way of depicting a dark night of the soul.

[mikemo]

Probably the most unique sound I've heard in a couple years.

[CarolanneIAMTHEQUANTUM]

I'm so grateful I found this artist!!! I was born in 88. I grew up listening to trip hop. Massive attack, Tricky, Morcheeba... some amazing artists. This has trip hop vibes. I love it.

[selassieyetefar]

I had a spiritual experience while wanting to mosh pit while crying about what the hell I felt and heard. Jah protect protect protect her because this power is the kind to make Babylon fear!!! She can speak straight to our souls in a way I have never experienced . Peace and love community change is coming 🧿🧿🧿👁❤️❤️

[thedarkmtters]

Thank you for this song, With everything happening in the world right now, the anger madness, sadness I’m feeling this song was able to make me feel seen, I found solace here and in jagna, spirit x and channel high

Free Sudan, free Congo, free Palestine freedom and peace to all peoples being displaced and taken off of their land and this world

[chrisblogs]

My youtube recommendations blessing me today with gems like these.

[dmitry]

Every work this artist releases is better than the last. Genre bending without a doubt. My favorite artist for a while now.

[marlonjoey]

Recommendations like these come by you when you have a unique test.
Where ever your listening this, just know that your special.
Vibes don’t lie ❤️

[stevenpittman]

I'm so glad that I found this, soulful, exotic, and epic with some dirt. Yes!!!

[lyndseymichele]

'I've been waiting for this moment I can speak. I been waiting for this moment I can breathe' I can her ancestors energy through her *damn* _chills_

[philwalton]

Honesty through art is the greatest gift .

[inaramusic]

This master piece has been recommended to me by YouTube because I keep looking for female singers with a low raspy voice to practice with because I have that kind of ton. And maaann I think it’s the best recommendation YouTube has ever shown me ! I am absolutely in love this speaks to my soul. Being Egyptian and a spiritual person this really speaks to me. I recommended it to all my friends. We need more and more enlightening creative songs with unique voices and authenticity and heart and soul .
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[ModernTruthRevelation]

This. Falling. Sweating. ALL OF THEM ARE MASTERPIECES. GOD BLESS YOUR BEING ALEWYA, THANK YOU.

[Mangoman]

This is the future replacement for 'nowadays hiphop' music.

This fresh but yet knowledgeable style will for sure be the new popular wave, because of its richness and 'not yet tainted' state. It will create a musical osmosis as it filters in all the good, interesting elements of the types of sounds we mostly like listening to, to a rebel type mixture that will catch people off guard and will settle in comfortably as a trend (I can bet on it).

They semi-unconsciously (or fully I don't know) put together the perfect recipe to start a new trend. And also, and most of all, their genuine creativity as artists is sensed at "first hearing". And that's exactly what we hearers need at the moment. And you can't beat true artistic passion. It never dies.

This is a real musical baby that will grow quickly into something that will rearrange things inside the music world. Watch this space. It's the medication that will revive mainstream music. Cause it's about dead now.

This new style of music is about to step out of the avant-garde state into the fashionable stage.

And damn it's catchy!

[Nagham-bmqg]

Goddess 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’m addicted to this already

[gracedesilets]

I can’t believe I get to be alive the same time as this freakin ✨goddess.✨thank you for this blessing!
