Marlon Craft - Gold Teeth

Copied!

{chorus}
All i know is love is the motif
Whiskey on my gums, natural gold teeth
Why i always run when she goes deep?
Told me not to front, said she knows me
All i know is love is the motif
I been heating up on a cold streak
Got a little buzz, hope it holds me
She said that she love when i go deep

{verse 1}
Body ain't been sleeping well
Mind needing peace as well
Dreams like a sleeper cell
Fears playing deep to tell
Everything seem peachy well since dollar arizonas tryin make lemons, iced tea as well
Yeah
Spilling stories i ain't mean to tell
Our timings off different
Be in the room but the relationship is long distance
Usually cause i was just wrong, trippin
Yeah
Just got back from cross the world
I had nightmares too
Demons right there too
True story of my life, co-author with the anxious nights
Yeah they all playwrights there too
Even limelights glare too
Speaking in vague obscurities
Leeching off insecurities
Hanging off vines of excuses they useless when i rinse thoroughly
Staying stuck but with urgency
Is my anguish my only currency?

{chorus}
All i know is love is the motif
Whiskey on my gums, natural gold teeth
Why i always run when she goes deep?
Told me not to front, said she knows me
All i know is love is the motif
I been heating up on a cold streak
Got a little buzz, hope it holds me
She said that she love when i go deep

{chorus}
All i know is love is the motif
Whiskey on my gums, natural gold teeth
Why i always run when she goes deep?
Told me not to front, said she knows me
All i know is love is the motif
I been heating up on a cold streak
Got a little buzz, hope it holds me
She said that she love when i go deep

Biography

edit bio

Born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC as the son of a jazz musician and a frequenter of Harlem and the South Bronx during his basketball playing years as a kid, Craft came across hip-hop honestly and developed a love at an early age. It wasn’t until his college years, however, that he began recording his own music and sharing it with his peers. Craft then honed his musical style—centered around his remarkable lyrical ability, substantive song-writing, and boom-bap/jazz-infused sound—while completing his degree in Urban Education & Social Justice at American University in Washington, DC. Think Logic’s mainstream appeal meets Joey Bada$$’ classic New York grit, meets J. Cole’s education and thoughtfulness, meets Kendrick Lamar’s social consciousness and new age jazz incorporation—all coming from the unexpected mouth of someone who looks like he’s more likely to confirm existing stereotypes and power structures than challenge them.

Craft’s uniqueness and authenticity lies in this shattering of traditional hip-hop stereotypes; he’s a white college grad who’s not a frat rapper, not afraid to speak his mind on issues of social importance and justice, and can flat-out rap his ass off. In March of 2015, during his last semester at college, Craft released his free full-length mixtape, “Pieces,” and generated some buzz both in DC and back home in NYC. The following year, in March of 2016, Craft released a new EP, entitled “so, what are you doing?” to great reception by his growing fanbase. In June of 2016, Marlon Craft was one of three champions of TeamBackPack’s annual Mission Underground festival and global competition, out of 650 emcees competing from all over the world.
In recent months, Craft has seen exponential growth in exposure as two of his monthly “Craftstyle” videos received over 3 million and 5 million views respectfully. This combined with other consistent content, video singles, and more have earned Craft a sizable and growing international fanbase.
