Book of Mali (Intro)
Mali Music, Christon Mason, David “D1” Grant Jr.
I define them as the, um, the face of the song
I see the music and the boom and the bass
And the shimmering cymbals and all that
As just, like, aesthetics and accessories
But the details of the face come with the lyrics of the song
It, like, really shows who you are and what you're saying
Not just what you're bringing and how you feel
It shows how you're saying it
So I feel the lyrics is just another step
And, uh, and if they're strong enough
When they're strong enough, and usually they are
You don't even need the music
So it's one of those things that go hand in hand
And it's a perfect marriage between word and melody
