Finally...earlier this year, with incentive from long time friends T-Roy Medlin and Jimmy Bower, K.LLOYD ventured to Norfolk, VA & New Orleans, LA to begin recording these songs for an upcoming release on Neurot Recordings. His purpose with music has been renewed and recreated in Blues/Acoustic music which is far from sounding like his earlier Buzzov-en days.
Touring will be sparse and these recordings may not see the light until later in 2008 but regardless, K.LLOYD is back.......
MUDDY WATERS
K. Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over your shoulders I thought you knew
Many steady trying don't have a clue
Y'all show love to strangers I'm acting New
Look I'm in bag today
Dodging the bull like olé
Man I'm just get paid
Some cheating the system for Government aid
Might wanna stop the commotion
Problems get deeper than oceans
Media open exposing jiggas
They be exposing themselves
Politics serving themselves
Give us a personal hell
Hold them accountable now they gone bail
Land in a drought ain't no wish in that well
I don't do all of that Back and forth
play it even they keeping score
more division they starting a war
Look at the evidence
Look at the president
What more can you tell us then
We need answers to questions not silly hints
I'm breaking bread with my brethren
Jesus loves all of my melanin
You taking a road I don't recommend
Grab all your ppl and cherish them
Satan be doing his best to get next to him
Keeping my eye open studying watching film
Seeing it clear through these muddy waters
I pray to God for our sons daughters
Life getting hard but we go harder
In the song "Muddy Waters" by K. Lloyd, the artist reflects on the current state of society and expresses his frustration with various aspects of it. The lyrics touch on themes such as ignorance, societal divisions, political corruption, personal responsibility, and the importance of unity.
The opening lines, "Back 2 Tha Basics volume 2, Over your shoulders I thought you knew," suggest a return to fundamental principles and a sense of surprise at the lack of awareness displayed by others. The artist observes that many people are trying to navigate their way through life without understanding the true nature of their actions or the world around them.
The lyrics also convey a sense of disillusionment with the way people interact with one another. The line, "Y'all show love to strangers I'm acting New," implies that people often prioritize and give attention to those they barely know, while neglecting those who are closest to them. The artist expresses a desire for a more genuine and authentic connection with others.
A significant portion of the song criticizes the current state of politics and government. The artist emphasizes that politicians serve their own interests rather than the needs of the people. The line, "Politics serving themselves, give us a personal hell," highlights a pervasive sense of disillusionment with the system and calls for accountability from those in power.
The lyrics also address personal struggles and the challenges of life. The artist mentions graduating and having debt to pay, which might refer to the burden of student loans. This suggests a personal experience with financial difficulties and the pressure to navigate one's way through a system that can often feel stacked against individuals.
Overall, the song's lyrics capture a perspective that seeks truth and clarity amidst the chaotic and divisive environment of society. The artist urges listeners to question and challenge the status quo, emphasizing the importance of staying informed and united. The phrase "Seeing it clear through these muddy waters" symbolizes the search for truth and understanding, while the closing lines express faith, perseverance, and a commitment to overcoming challenges together.
