about

'Let Us In' is the debut track from Seattle based FUTURENOT feat. emcee Moe Betta and his 90's era Brooklyn Hip Hop style. Originally written by Jason & Peter, 'Let Us In' was introduced to the band as a simple hook being played in the horns. It was then arranged somewhat backwards horns first followed by rhythm section, then the song form, and the vocals last. The tune gets started with a vibe driven drone, evoking images of glitter and disco balls. Enter emcee Moe Betta and his 90's era Brooklyn Hip Hop style. The bridge takes the listener into an ethereal dreamlike space until the guitar lays down gravity and brings us back to the mothership. The intro and outro, also what we call "bookends," were written during reherasal as a whole ensemble.

lyrics

Check the veteran fresh as I ever been
Entering the game same strut like Jefferson
Can't blame me that's a zone I'm forever in
Shine bright light on site like edison
Cakin like Betty Crokker, Sarah Lee and Enteman’s
You shouldn't be shocked if what I spit is beterring the climate
Dangerouse when I'm in my element,
I'm the reason ya family ties are severin
And that’s when I barely put any effort in
Please listen in and heed what I'm mentioning
And give me space like the front teeth on letterman
Back on up if you’re a heathen that's pesterin’
I'll leave u shakin’ like a fiends for ya heroin
Get money for pleasure from these keys that I'm measurin’
Regardless to whatever scene that I'm reppin’ in
When I'm done it's gonna be me their remembering
Check the veteran fresh forever and
Live in the flesh and flexin melanin
Live on the set again Vibe so elegant
Fly with the letter writing with a feather pen
FLy like a pelican been compellin since knee high
I been tellin them...
Hot like a kettle tea pot for the devil
Me.. I'm a rebel.. Preach like a reverend
Cut the ketamin with vitametavegamen
Peddle to the metal be vital to the regimen
Never will I settle while the mic keeps beckonin
Me, when I'm checkin in Be respected inside of any
Cypher you see me steppin indeed chin checkin MC's
I'm wreckin increase them levels and tweak that treble
and all the hecklin cease & secklin...
Outro
Medicine delivered in the lyrics when
A veteran say they better let us in
Medicine deliver that medicine
Let us in yo they better let us in
Medicine deliver in the lyrics when a veteran
Say they better let us in.
Let us in…Yo they better let us in!
