about

"Drop In The Bucket" is a series of songs written in real-time from interactions with youth in Topeka Kansas. The series seeks to give youth songs that remind them of who they want to be instead of what they're trying to escape from.

Man on the Moon is the first song of this series, with Brail announcing his intention to be what he needed as a teen: someone musically to look up to and learn from.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Full moon and I'm so aware
These kids listening they so scared
And they looking up
But most don't care
If it's gone sell
They gone sell
He’s selling
But I'm locked in
No bail
They ride for trends
I stand still
With no stands
No fanfares

Them boys all cap
I'm on they head
I'll pop the lid

I got the Rizz
I'm bout to flip
I'm bout assists

I hop out the grid
Cause you can't listen from a distance
When you in it for the mission
May take a hit then
But when you givin’ what they missing
They can't miss him
Get it

Chorus:
Hate it or love it
We been what you made us
So when they raise above it
I'm speaking they language
I'll be the man on the moon
I'll be the man on the moon

Verse 2:
They ain't funkin with I like it's H to the V
I'm so sick and tired of AB and C
So don't ask for my patience on racist receipts
I gave you peace cause Christ gave a new lease
On my pain but you came back and gave me the least
Now my babies the sheep
And I feel like I gave them the leash
Stakes in the ground if you make an offense
Then I'm turning ain't trading a cheek

Just be aware
Don't wanna clock yo babies
Better watch your babies
Cause I'm taking they stares
My three year old daughter will not have this pain to bear
I got aim to spare
So if you wanna throw rocks at a glass house
We can take it there
To a glass jaw on a fast mouth
We on that route
Mm mm Imma leave it there

Chorus:
Hate it or love it
We been what you made us
So when they raise above it
I'm speaking they language
I'll be the man on the moon
I'll be the man on the moon
