S.A Verse I wake up at 8am, this how my day begin/ I like to write in the sun soak in the radiance/ I need invincible flow, 2000 Adeem at scribble jam, or 3000 speakin on them aliens/ I play to win, hone my craft everyday, in my DNA, this the path that we pave/ I'm feelin great, got my music to escape, hey that's one thing I didn't lose when I moved away/ n I be grateful everyday that's just how I was raised/ never taught that paper created the power to change/ it's all within, balls to the wall to win/ hollering I'm all in, checkin my tolerance/ I push my daily limit just so I can stay inventive/ I twist n blaze then pen it, this is just my way to vent it/ I stay dependent on my music tryin to main event it/ n stay indebted to anyone ever paid a penny/ CHORUS Sunrise up in my eyes/ Need to chill out, figure it out/ ER verse Now, I know the world owe me nothing And when I get lost I know I ain’t the only cousin As I search for self in this world through words, put work Yelling at the universe to show me something all I’m getting is set backs on set backs I keep going from sun up to jet black Determination on thing in my focal Laughing at the attempts to get him to step back That’ll be the hopeful when pigs fly Over the moaning, owning the moment to get right I cut a few links I cut a few drinks I got be a little bit sober to get mine And the only person I totally co-sign is I It’s ShowTime, rise & shine its life But sometimes the grind can literally take lives But as long as I’m alive I’m showing promise to rise CHORUS

about

We are all a Product of our Environment, aren't we?

Broken Thought Theory's debut album explores the domino effects of ones surroundings from the perspectives of the seperate and combined environments of emcees EaRelevant and State Advanced.

Sonically, POE hits hard and carries rough edges throughout. The lyrics encompass everything from the 9-5 reality, struggles within the music industry, addiction, broken relationships, lost ones and obstacles overcome. This is the product of our environment, daily life and music.

The album's sole producer, Prolifik the Gifted, sets the tone, boasting a boombap backbone dusted with trap and electronic extremities, laying the track work for the 2 emcees to take their train of thought in new directions. Lyrically S.A. And E.R. spin clean delivery, a variety of flows, rhyme schemes and cadence to match the album's and group's evolving sound.
