Agradecido 02:24
lyrics
AOJ: Nunca me rindo en un mundo tan lindo/ cuando hago lo que hago y digo lo que digo/ La poesia fluye como una catarata/ activa la cintura y mueve las patas/ vamos marchando por la libertad que tenemos/ yo no se de mañana/ eso lo veremos / por este momento yo quiero brindar/ seguimos respirando y podemos guarachar. Muchos momentos vivia sin saber/ pero ahora reconosco la energia y el poder/una montaña se puede mover si te pones la pilas y empieza a creer/ correr y caminar son dos cosas distinctas/ la oportunidades se presentan si calificas/ pensando positivo para llegar/ se tiene lo que tiene y se da lo que da. MANDO: Una razón, una vida, las raza de el sol y la batalla sin control/ pasa el guachicol/ la gente no entiende el futuro de el paíz la sangre del inocente/ oso gerente gigante presente/ te roban el dinero y te dan agua ardiente/ ponte lente, independiente, y tu sabes hablando simplemente. Esta la casa el barrio, familia/ ya se necesita que soporten sin embidia/ la politica se pone a criticar/ lo que tienen y lo que tengo jamas sea igual. Es la verdad, la neta de la planeta/ lanzo pa la luna con la musica eterna/ es mi gema mi unica risueña/ sube el volumen a diez a comenzar Estoy agradecido por el mundo que es Estoy agradecido por que vengo otra vez Estoy agradecido por el mundo que es Estoy agradecido....Agradecido! Estoy agradecido por el mundo que es Estoy agradecido por que vengo otra vez Estoy agradecido por el mundo que es Estoy agradecido....Agradecido!

Never Too Late 03:14
lyrics
AOJ: Never too late/ to start my own fire and incinerate/ so we can start over and elevate/ negativity we can just eliminate/ marching in like the A-R-M-Y get your body open activate your third eye/ keeping it cold like the winter time Chi/ bundling you up with these beats and rhymes/ embarking on a mission to seek and achieve/ rolling like a stone and just letting it bleed/ indeed we got titles that are vital to prove we blessed by the rhythm and soothed by the tunes/ can't you see that the music is therapy and I truly believe that it's the remedy/ for all that ails it never fails to connect/ from the largest mass of people to the smallest insect/ produce, preserve, prevail, protect/ the vultures of the culture got no respect/ with 5 minutes of fame and a royalty check/ it's all about the green like a broccoli floret/ yet/ I'm inspired to do something with substance/ using all the power that i have in abundance/ 360 in the round so you feel the circumference/ aspire for change and seek social justice/ where"s the moral compass in the land of the lost/ selling souls by the kilo but don"t know the cost/ serving to many masters so I'll be my own boss/ I'm bossing up yeah I'm bossing up/ Live my life humble just to keep from flossin' up/ Don't want to lose sight of what's important to me/ Family is like a lighthouse on a stormy sea/ Return to the hive like a honey bee/ Provide me with a dosage of reality/ So I can praise and give thanks to the flowering tree/ as I strive to keep it true and stay away from hyperbole... It's never too late. Never ever never too late... Last but not least you released the beast/ you got another thing coming like Judas priest/ Don't sweat the technique of a true technician/ subtract all the wack and make'em poof like magician/ as I take my time and apply precision/ to cure the condition and bring the thoughts to fruition/ Re-up and collect more ammunition so I can keep blastin'on and maintain the tradition/ It's a fine line between truth and lie/demand and supply/ keep the vision in my eye/ put your hands up like you're reaching for the sky/ cause some soar like an eagle some stuck like a wet fly/ eating up the elephant one bite at a time/ so I can reduce stress and simplify/ this is my battle cry for the 2018 as I blow off steam/ stay on point like a laser beam/ campaigning with my team and living the dream....

Desde Este Lado del Rio 02:39
lyrics
Mira que lindo se ve el mundo desde este lado del rio Mira las cosas de otra manera desde este lado del rio Mira la gente como lucha y lucha desde este lado del rio Escucha y veras lo que te digo desde este lado del rio AoJ: Desde este lado del rio/ Mucha confusion y castigo/ Mis ojos son los testigos/ mis oidos son mis amigos/ Hay que jugar vivo/ antes de buscarse un lio/ Eso es lo que mi tio me dijo/ Larga es la vida duro el camino... Mira que lindo se ve el mundo desde este lado del rio Mira las cosas de otra manera desde este lado del rio Mira la gente como lucha y lucha desde este lado del rio Escucha y veras lo que te digo desde este lado del rio Mando: Me llamo Armando y musca yo amo/milagro aqui yo estoy tratando de dar mi mano/ vivo sea el lago en Chicago me ves alli con pies descalzo clavando/ y a la vez enseñando te digo que el presidente es un descarado/ clavado sin pago fuerza no falso vasillo es el baso pero no le haces caso/aprende empeño dormido con el sueño /contesta derech/guardate el hesto del pendejo/subete a el caballo grueso /lo hago por lo natural y meto/ go Mira que lindo se ve el mundo desde este lado del rio Mira las cosas de otra manera desde este lado del rio Mira la gente como lucha y lucha desde este lado del rio Escucha y veras lo que te digo desde este lado del rio

about

Agradecido EP

In February of 2018, Chicago songwriter/emcee Juan Lugo (aka Army of Juan) joined Oso Gigante (producers: Sal Catanzaro & Armando Pérez) in San Francisco at Nika Sound Studios for several creative open ended recording sessions. Loosely reflecting on a shared musical production history and documenting personal poems and beats, the team recorded over 10 tracks while taking breaks to hike in Golden Gate Park and the Outer Sunset neighborhood beaches. Working with some of the best of these recorded moments, AoJ releases his "Agredecido EP."

Producers Sal Catanzaro (aka Izznyce) and Armando Pérez (aka The Single Helix) previously released Rarities Vol. 1 under the Oso Gigante moniker and collaborated on ÉSSO's "Pueblo Unido" Mixtape.

Izznyce previously worked on Aoj's solo debut album and Mando's "Ntwari" debut.

AoJ and Mando have a history of collaboration in Freeform Sessions and Jugo de Mango.
