White and nerdy. Now, with 25% more nerd.

Averis (Casey Carter), a Jacksonville, North Carolina native, is a young emcee making moves in the North Carolinian and Virginian hip hop underground. He started his career in January 2009, recording with Rykashay, a female emcee and producer from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Then, a long time Internet acquaintance, StayHigh (James White) from Statesville, North Carolina, approached him about working together and within six months they had finished an as of yet unreleased album tentatively titled the AK Tracks. From there, Averis began making music with his blood cousin, Tekone (Chad Carter), Virginia Beach, Virginia representative and Forbidden City co-founder, and they began recording immediately. In less than six months they have written and produced nearly 40 tracks, and are waiting impatiently for the new year and what the release of their album "Averis+Tekone presents... C.Carters" will bring. Averis is now recording for the C.Carters project, Mike Walla (Michael Woolard) of Forbidden City's new album, and various Forbidden City affiliated mixtapes and projects.

Story behind the song

It's funny where a phrase like the seed of doubt can take you. I feel like this is the best written of my songs.

Lyrics

When the seed of doubt is sown watch it grow into a venus flytrap,
And your the lord of the flies hoping to get your life back,
When you land... we need to get the might back in the hands
That understand the demands of the many
But as it stands we've got plenty of reasons to worry at night
Watching the darkness approach in a flurry of lights
...Blurs the eyes so we're blind to the mishaps
Most of the time we sit back hoping to find the facts,
And pretend we're defended and if they attack we'll hit back,
Against the riff raff and the guns that they holdin'
But they got guns that we sold em ready to steal the money they owe us,
Funny they going to bomb our homeland...
'Cause we bomb they homeland so many times killing so many lives
And yet villians are still alive, The heroes raised 'em
'Cause the heroes need 'em so that they can defeat 'em... we're wasting
Money that should be funding schools paying our teachers
To keep 'em from skipping class and laying under the bleachers
Hundreds of reasons why we shouldn't be in a war
But there are billions of reasons why we can't leave anymore
Most of 'em green and nearly none of 'em for the better
I'm fed up with all of this calling this a chance to live together
In harmony when we're harming the colonies with our armies
Are we ever gonna change--probably not 'cause our thought
Process is ob-sessed with making threats non-threats
And we've got 'em a lot the same day that saddam was caught,
Hundreds of others stuck their guns to their brothers
We ain't loving eachother we're just loving ourselves
And many of the culprits are ya focus once they reach they pulpit-
Preaching the sermon on how we can reach the vermin while
Leeching off the freaks and the hermits believin' they earned it
Overseas fleas cause fever burning like coals beneath the furnance,
While the chief of staff is thieving cash to keep his furniture,
Other countries have to worry bout who's sneaking to murder ya,
Some people get shot in the brain and never feel the cartridge
While marching in ranks for no pardon or thanks,
'Cause freedom from pain pains the free ones that hanged to guard it
We're changing starting as soon as possible
'Cause the words are on the tongues of the sick like spoons at hospitals
We're polluted with smog from students of God using fossil fuels
But when global warming happens the earth is too hot for you?
There's a lot to do but a lot of what we do ain't what we ought to do
So if you don't think we're the problem then I don't want to talk to you
Id need more patience to deal with the reals of poor nations,
Where they call 'em scuffles and battles but they at war face it
For hatred, Ain't no other reason we do it,
You think it's simple but it's snot like sneezing the fluid,
Its unreasonable to leave em alone but I know feedin it to em,
Has em feeling like were making choices and not leavin em to em,
If somebody crash your home you stay to bleed in the ruins,
'Cause it's your home even if you live in a war zone,

In a war zone
In a war zone
