Minor Men 04:00
Minor men plucking minor chords Supplicating eyes closed Wild wind and hailstorms Water lilies in Mighty Dzongs Locks and keys  Right and wrong  Temples and Dargas  Streets and Chawls  We were born to let it go Born to let it go  We were born to let it go  Born to let it go  Writers and priests Pens and thongs A merchant of Venice Drenched in gold  Paupers on streets  Monks in robes  Breaking bad Or going with the flow  We've gotta learn to let it go  Learn to let it go  Learn to let it go  Learn to let it go

Down in the woods  There is a lake Wild flowers grow Hippie Hip shake  Melancholic vibes, im taking a break tonight  Woodstock 69, Summertime, heavy mind Somebody stop Put the record on rewind  Its my time to shine  Hook To shine  To shine  To shine  To shine I was down  Down by the river You were drowned  Drowned in that liquor  Same goals  Different rhythms  Feeling cold  Where's the heaven I was down  Down by the river You were drowned  Drowned in that silver  Same tools  Different methods  Feeling cold  Going to heaven Hook To shine  To shine  To shine  To shine Half as good as you pretend to be Twice as good as you were meant to be Walls too tall up in this industry They'll bite my whole sound and never mention me Greener grass on the river banks Anxious mind in a bloody mess Too young to be the fucking best Talk shit till I do manifest  Before my ink could dry on the paper, Rolled Grade A, all up in my papers Prolly wouldn't need this, if I had you But how could you tell? Everybody wants you Everybody 'round you, acting like they know you Lakedive with no lake in sight Bravado outside cuz I'm lost inside Livin' large in this coffin I'm walking a fine line

[Verse] Favorite rapper told me 'get the chemistry right' Knocking temple's floor, put the Hennessy aside A god in my head, just saw you walk by Paid no attention to the ego that I hide Earnest in the flesh, wrote books and earned listeners  Legendarily underrated among you visitors Y'all here for the moment and you know it! Linking up the wrong men in the wrong lane. Your new techniques were my old recipes  Kill me in my sleep, I won't rest in peace Be wary of the sheep, the beast is underneath  Addiction is a bitch so I rest under my beats Arrested by my weed, the rest is her tree The rest that I seek, ain't here in my reach Inherited struggles, never plans, never seeds Stayed clear of the hurdles but my people still weep. Yeah my people still weep Too many back stabbers, rather gather enemies  Ain't it funny, how these rappers try to turn in entities Like, back in the basement, this what you dreamed? Like back up your chasers, the faces That you surround yourself with Had no ambition 'bout the life that they lead Had no alliance with the blood that they bleed All we got is defiance for the funds that they seek Said, I needed the buzz from your feed But you won't believe what I live in, Gotta fly out on the weekend. Feeling like these shows are my therapy  If I ain't feeling good, then I better be I don't need a freak but oh girl, you better be  I just need a shrink bringing in Hennessy. [Bridge] This time around I ain't going down  I ain't falling out This time around I ain't going down  I ain't falling out This time around I ain't going down  I ain't falling out This time around I ain't going down  I ain't falling out This time around  This time around  This time around  This time around  This time around  This time around  This time around  This time around I ain't going down  [Verse] Turtle got a place of his own  Peace of mind, a piece of my own  Lost my faith, I found myself  Rested case, the god been dead  Turtle got a place of his own  Peace of mind, a piece of my own  Lost my faith, I found myself  Rested case, the god been dead  Doomed in our own way Dance till the morning  Godspeed to the red light  All this just to get by  Doomed in our own way Dance till the morning  Godspeed to the red light  All this, gotta to get by

Home Im home  Home Im home  In a house made of earth, wood and stone  Home Im home  Sound and sheltered for now  Gulmohars and open arms  Sounds of a creek rushing through  Ambient charms  Kanke where the boy belongs X 7 Kanke where the, Kanke where the Home  Home  Om

Step in the room  They look at me wrong Im Ranchi weed in a Bombay Bong  Right my wrong through all these songs  She keep telling me just come back home  You could see it it in his eyes  He was a speedy gorilla Riding through the streets looking for a thriller  Sitting in the backseat  Looking for a thriller  Sitting in the backseat catching my own rhythm I could see it in your eyes  You were the gold digger  Running down the streets looking for the trigger  Sitting in the backseat  Looking for the trigger  Killer with a peace pipe Shoot and get the silver  Burn out! I’ll never fade away, aye! X 12

Buzz got lil too heavy Tonight even you looking pretty  Munchies and booze in the pantry Think I should've died already  Buzz got a lil too heavy think I should've died already  Figured we'd arrive all ready Right at the party, blunts and Bacardi  Right at the party, blunts and Bacardi  Die in a party that's blood in Bacardi  Right at the party, blunts and Bacardi  Die in a party that's blood in Bacardi  You got money on your mind, got my mind on the money  First mixtape, I was paid already The underground gem that y'all keep fetching is flexin  And whole lotta people keep stressing Told me 'don't produce' till I proved I was nevertheless one of the best With the beat and the flow and the rest You like it or not, your opinion is vexed  Weren't even listening till I hooked up with Sez Blood to the flesh, true like DMX errybody got their demons, errybody here stress How you tell the truth and still get the views? Believe in god cuz you ain't seen the news Another man lying  Another kid died I know the mom cried I don't demand lies When I ask would you use or die for your rights? When they gon' cut down on the price? When my dealer gets freedom to move his supplies  If you know what I'm talking about, I know you rollin joints Looking for the paper and the liquor I ain't looking for advice  I'll die by my vice Said I'll die by my vice I Said I'll die by my vice Said I'll die by my vice Looking in the mirror afraid of what I'll find Buzz got lil too heavy Tonight even you looking pretty  Munchies and booze in the pantry Think I should've died already  Buzz got a lil too heavy think I should've died already  Figured we'd arrive all ready Right at the party Stars don't moan when they ain't shining  These rappers ain't stars under them lightings Is rap scene, under the pyramid scheme Seen rappers sucking up the next one in the hierarchy How could it be? Thought you knew that rapper cuz he talented? But then he only there cuz he could manage shit With all of his friends And all office friends got lots of connects You won't know this shit Cuz they don't publish it Corporate bitches all up in the music and Tryna influence what the people hear I been on the beat now let the speakers tear I rap a lot but only few would hear Too insecure to be here but still here Steering clear off heavens' gate and I'm gone

about

The album features Tre Ess as the executive producer and The Dirty Astronaut as the graphic designer. The experimental electronica album comprises of ten songs. Each song tells a different story and draws influences from various genres (Blues, Electronica, Downtempo, Hip Hop, Chillstep etc.). Unique artworks for each track highlight the mood of each song.

Spirituality is a common theme throughout the album, as the artist and the producer are influenced by the Buddhist teachings. Their love for Bhutanese culture, architecture and landscapes is the reason they named the album “Dzong”.
