Скачать или смотреть Mr. Smith - 'Empower' (Live at House of LeaRoc) ft. Dribb (Moor Love)

Join Mr. Smith in a journey of empowerment with 'Empower,' a song that stands as a testament to the power of uplifting narratives over those that diminish ('If it don't empower, than it's corny as hell').

Verse 1 introduces Mr. Smith's commitment to storytelling with purpose, proudly stating his clean record ('No misty's or felonies, I'm foreign to jail'), where 'misty's' refers to misdemeanors. He emphasizes his role as an educator ('I engage, students never say it's boring as hell'), tying his astrological sign, Aquarius, to his natural ability to navigate life's waters ('Aquarius on water, I was born with a sail'). His lyrical game is likened to academic success ('Bars prevalent like I'm goin' to excel'), not needing the prowess of NBA's Nick Van Exel to excel in his own right. Mr. Smith cleverly turns the metaphor of quicksand, symbolizing competition or obstacles, into a display of resourcefulness by having 'pales' to move the sand, showing how he overcomes what's meant to sink him.

Verse 2 reflects on societal issues, specifically the educational disruptions due to the early stages of the COVID-19 crisis ('Students is missin' out on learning cause ain't no class today'). Mr. Smith critiques the system, likening social distancing to being 'feet under,' a metaphor for death or being buried by life's challenges. He calls for thoughtful engagement ('Food for thought in the pot watch how you stirrin' ya grits'), with references to precision ('Like Reggie Miller, perfected the work of the wrist') and a longing for authentic lyricism. His collaboration with producer Dribb is highlighted, where Dribb brings the 'wick' - the spark in the beat, and Mr. Smith ignites it with his fiery lyrics.

The chorus reinforces the song's ethos: Mr. Smith's stories are meant to empower, dismissing anything less as 'corny as hell.'
