Remote Control feat. Christine Ariya [Produced by Diverse]

from The Achievement Gap by Foci

/
  • Limited Edition Framed Canvas Print of The Achievement Gap

    Very few things are Black&White...

    The Achievement Gap wasn't only meant to be audibly appealing but also visually engaging. The artwork, shrouded in a bit of mystery as Foci has yet to explain publicly what it all means, is now available in its entirety, for you to decipher.

    Commissioned by K "Foci" Wilson with close assistance from Mario "Antiix" Gutierrez and painted by Thomas Wu, set out to create a unique vision that reflected the content of the entire album.

    The image is set within a white wooden bevelled edge frame with dimensions of 27 1/4" wide and 11 1/2" height and is quite the site to behold.

    You aren't just getting a piece of Foci history for your collection but you are supporting "Team Foci" as the proceeds from the sales of this Limited Edition piece will go to getting them to...

    New York City, NY for the 10th Annual Underground Music Awards (bit.ly/iamfociuma VOTE NOW!)
    Atlanta, GA for the A3C Convention where they are schedule to perform (Sanctioned by the Grammy's as one of the Top 12 Must Attend Festivals in the nation)
    and most importantly
    Getting Foci back into the studio to record his follow up to The Achievement Gap, entitled "Bittersweet Lyrically" which will be offered for free right here to you that purchased this one of a kind print!

    We sincerely appreciate your support and

  • Signed Physical Copy w/ mystery merch item
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The Achievement Gap in physical form signed by Foci

    This 6 Panel DigiHub is truly a piece of art in itself.
    Upon opening the CD, The commissioned painting of "The Classroom" by Thomas Wu (LAUSD Art Teacher) reveals over 40 students packed in a tiny classroom with students skin tones going progressively from light to dark.

    This masterpiece speaks volumes to the actual definition of the achievement gap and is the central focus of the content on the album. A 16 picture photo collage represents each song on the album from tracks 1-15 and the last picture will resonate with those of you in education.

    In true tradition the artwork includes the thank yous and credits holding down all those involved.

    We'll also throw in a mystery merch item.
    It could be a sticker... it could be a beanie... it could be an upcoming concert ticket.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Achievement Gap via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Verse 1
I always done my dirt all by my lonely
Nature has this instinct for us to be Naughty
Serves as a natural thinning of the heard
Common in nature coming throughout the third
Worlds, while we march to the same drum
Ya'll off beat dumb follow false philosophy
Show belonging an S after an apostrophe
And on me, (cheh), there is no stopping we
People want drama with blood and guts
Not see us do laps see us crash it up
Not see us pass then see us flash it up
End of a pool game and not even rack it up
If I said change is now would you mash it up
Abstain from looking down while not seeing what is up
Lifted higher than Sikorsky Sky Cranes
Not for me I like laying low with a migraine

Chorus (2x)
Stop look remote control now
What they feed you is holding us down

Verse 2
No disdain I gain from my grains
Say it aint so fly i'm far from a plane
You can play it goes in the fast lane
Minutes til take off I barely made boarding 'mang
We link up stack up its daisy chained
We drink cups fast up crazy train
Rocky, Ozzy, Randy, and Daisley
Heavy Metal Park Paisley the Prince mentality
Now if the church molested
Should we have killed the priests
And within that resides a hidden beast
Yo. Tauro on that Spanish
Bullfighting running over any outlandish remark
Bear witness to how the BS starts
No bite to begin with yo it is just bark
People don't think about what they start
'Til it ends with one with no beating heart

Chorus (2x)
Stop look remote control now
What they feed you is holding us down

Verse 3
Disappear in the earth hollow way as a group Holloway in Aruba
Rest in Peace
Your the type to try to force democracy in Cuba
Ain't welcome to stay this is woodwind you Tuba
Death meticulous and ridiculous
Deciduous planted within the thick of this
Sleep provides me the answers in me dreaming so
To be related to death it has no meaning oh
Equivalent to what on screen you are streaming
And the various things they have you believing
Direct my TV thousands of channels you on Channel 9
So many options, so why, would you follow mine
