On April 4th, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, a shot rang out that ended a great life, but couldn't stop the legacy that continues today and forever. Beat by Ill Poetic for the album "To Mock A Killingbird".

Hiphop used to mean something, and Odub believes that it still can. Inspired by real life, he is more interested in making good music that people can relate to
Hip Hop has gotten too hard core. Simple. I take it down a notch....back to the days when rappers had more to talk about than guns, money, jewels, cars and women. Rap with a message, and well, some just for the flow of it.

Lyrics
[verse 1] Tell me why would you want to kill a mockingbird, When all it ever did for you was sing? Any reason that you've got's absurd Like a cracked bell lettin freedom ring You can feel the sting, A little honest introspection Window never clearer, thoughts of insurrection Peer into the mirror, question your direction Maybe it's a King that you see in your reflection Now feel for a connection I have a dream that our dreams are your protection Then I awoke to a world full of hope One black president, still a long way to go And it's a hard row to hoe Take a dark, lonely road On a train full of seasoned writers Trained to be freedom fighters Pen in hand and ready to roll [hook x2] We would Like to live, can't be moved We would Like to give you a chance to choose Pick a target or flee the fight We gon kick at the darkness until it bleeds light [verse 2] Tell me why would you want to mock a killingbird When it all it ever does is destroy? Any reason that you've got's absurd Like a campaign promise that's more than just noise From King to Fred Hampton Killingbird anthem Dampen the spirit and tamp down expansion It's a cancer. Necromancer. Come to take over the souls who have answers We will not be moved I'd like to give you a chance to choose Pick a target or flee the fight We gon kick at the darkness until it bleeds light [hook x1]
