Last song of 2018. Yes, it is White Wrapping, wrapping as in "skin." https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/white-wrappingI dedicate this song to my new spirit guru, Kanye West. By his dogged insistence on letting the crazy out, going on T.V. and even to the White House and saying things that make profound sense, sort of, or no sense at all, depending on how you decipher them, Kanye has liberated all of us in the eccentric, undecipherable class to just go ahead and say whatever we feel like saying and let the rest of the world try and figure it out. Thanks Kanye. Keep on keeping on man. The only scary prison is the prison of the mind. Set yourself free. Word. White WrappingBy David Snyder V1 Look at the color Of my skin I can tell damned well I don’t fit White wrappin’, white wrappin’ I’m especially bad ‘cause I’m a man Only got one place It’s the garbage can White wrappin’ White wrappin’ I won’t get invited to neighborhood Cause I’m too damned white And I’m no good White wrappin’, White wrappin’ Like Martin Luther I had a dream Of the promised land Where every man’s a King White wrappin’, white wrappin’ CH: And I am not the enemy of State, y’all So please don’t blame me For your rage and hate, aw naw White wrappin’, white wrappin’ V2 Please don’t nail me To the cross Swear to God don’t want to be the Boss White wrappin’, white wrappin’ For the love of God Leave me alone Just stand aside let me go home White wrappin’, white wrappin’ Not Republican or Democrat Everybody’s lyin’ had enough of that white wrappin’, white wrappin’ What I hate the most is a hypocrite Racists everywhere and I’m tired of it White wrappin’, white wrappin’ CH: And I am not the enemy of State, y’all So please don’t blame me For your rage and hate, aw naw White wrappin’, uh What’s happenin’, mmmm V3 Racist blacks, racist whites Racist children in the dead of night What happenin’, what’s happenin’ Racist women, racist men Castin’ stones, full of sin What’s happenin’, what’s happenin’ I’ll never see the Promised Land Like Martin said, it’s out of hand White wrappin’, white wrappin’ But I still have Martin’s dream Every man a King, every woman a Queen White wrappin’, what’s happenin’ CH: And it is not too late To change your fate, y’all So please don’t blame me For your rage and hate, naw White Wrappin’ What’s happenin’ What’s happenin’ What’s happenin’ Words and Music copyright 2018 by David Snyder, ASCAP, Day of Faith Records David Snyder, Guitar, vocals, additional instrumentation, production RealTracks in style: 2325:Bass, Synth, Rhythm JazzFunkFat Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 2155:Piano, ElectricClav, Rhythm FunkyGroovin70sJohn Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 2618:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Funk16thsMutedWahWah Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: ~2580:Bass, Synth, RnBModernSub Ev16 100 Loop in Song: HipHop\Dirty South - rich_93_drum_loop_a_minor ev16.wav RealDrums in style: CongasEv8[single]: a: More High Congab: More Low Conga Real Drums: Rock Hard LA

Mr. Snyder...
After listening to "White Wrappin', I realized suddenly that you, sir, are a musical rubberband, constantly stretching out the boundaries of content, genre, and performance style. In other words, I think you're a seriously creative, orginal musician! By the way, how did you get your voice to sound so gravelly???
Your RealTracks arrangement prompted memories of Steve Wonder's "Superstition", from his "Talking Book" album of of 1972. You got the funk in all the right places!
Concerning your lyrics, I'm sure Mr. West would love them because, first, they seem to lash out at conformity and, second, they're just ambiguous enough to generate controversy, which Mr. West thrives on, of course.
Not a bad way to enter a "New Year", posting something as barbed, in-your-face, and gutsy as "White Wrappin'"!
Thumbs up,
LOREN

Thanks Loren! I got the gravelly sound by just being myself!! Thanks for all the compliments. I am glad it made you smile. If it's crazy enough for Kanye, it's krazy enough for me! Happy New Year!
