about

Native Sun puts on for Naptown. Produced by B Meeks and Sleepy, this song is full of B Young's clever wordplay and references that people from Indianapolis will connect with right away.

lyrics

(Verse)
I’d like to welcome everybody to the heart of the city
Me and the committee, we figured we’d give you this prime cut
I’m stuck in this 465 inner state of mind, I guess it’s innovative time
I’m the leader of the movement, keeper of the flow
Brickyard pole sitter, spinnin outta control
After victory laps, we sippin outta Winston cups
B.Young, is a name and a style you can trust
Lemme fall back and Indiana pace myself
Cause we in all black tellin people brace yourself
If we ain’t all that, who could touch a fraction of this
I’m bout to take it back to real music, clap to this
Cause this is more than Naptown, I craft Circle City Classics
Black Exposition like Orlando, with Magic
Leave the competition coughin in the pixie dust
To keep it 500, don’t nobody want it with us

(Chorus)
Damn, Naptowns got its own sound
Damn, Naptowns got its own style
I know my people ain’t heard this in a while
It’s the Circle City renaissance, starts right now

(Verse)
See, this ain’t about money and it ain’t about girls
And it ain’t about fame, its all about change
And a little bit of pride cause so many people tried
So many people cried cause so many had to slide
Outta town, hope I’m not outta bounds for straight shootin
Habitually line step, even while I’m kickin it
Break ground on new sound foundation is steady fam
Come on and roll with me baby like a Teddy Pender jam
We there already, damn, we never had an anthem
It took creative natives just to use the sun to stamp us
Forget about the clampetts, the hillbilly notion
We tryin to get out our dreams, ride the wave, Billy Ocean
So this is just a token of my appreciation
We ain’t really reached the nation yet we scratchin the surface
Rappers gettin nervous, they never heard of this
What a novel idea, makin music with a purpose

(Chorus)

about

Native Sun image

Native Sun Indianapolis, Indiana

Native Sun envisions traditional hip hop elements (compelling lyricism, dusty samples, dope beats) paired with the versatility of live instrumentation to create a new sound. B Meeks (bass), Sleepy (drums) and B Young (emcee) intertwine gospel, rock, electronic, jazz and soul within the context of hip hop. This solid foundation in live music (vs produced beats) sets Native Sun apart from others. ... more
