#TheMovement releases new single Alien produced by @colliebuddz @johnnycosmic off the #CaliRootsRiddim, a compilation, featuring 21 exclusive new tracks from your favorite artists.
Riddim compilations have been a part of Jamaican and reggae music culture for decades. All artists were sent the same instrumental, each recorded their own song over that instrumental. Tracks will drop every Friday starting with this one until the full project is released on May 22nd.
Lyrics:
It seems this world is not for me
When the cold wind blows and I hear the scratching of the leaves as they rustle
They say its not easy
So evident in the city
Man I just cant used to the hustle and bustle
The stars wait for me in the night sky
I hear them sing their siren song
And I dont have to ask why
I dont feel that I belong
Cause I tried to run and I tried to hide
But I cannot control what I feel inside
Dont feel human or even animalian
God damn, I must be an alien
It seems that earth is not for me
When the snow falls down
And I hear the silence of the night wrap around me
They say it dont come cheap
But I would give anything to get back to the place where my mom must have found me
The stars wait for me in the night sky
I hear them sing their siren song
And I dont have to ask why
I dont feel that I belong
Cause I tried to run and I tried to hide
But I cannot control what I feel inside
Dont feel human or even animalian
God damn, I must be an alien
