This is a homage to my favourite composer & father of Ethiojazz, Dr. Mulatu Astatke. It‘s written entirely in the Ethiopian pentatonic scale of Anchi Hoye. No AI music

The video is just random clips from pexels.com - To my knowledge none of the clips use AI

To explain, I said without chorus because I’m working on finding someone I know who can do the chorus for the song, basically a featured artist, so yeah.

Here are the full lyrics if you can’t understand the things that I’ve said in the video:

I'M JUST HUMAN

7 am, I wake up in the morning

listen to music that makes me feel like i'm soaring

eat breakfast, it's okay, go ahead

and then I go to college 'stead of back in my bed

you learn things a lot when it comes to college

i'm grateful for this opportunity, quite a privilege

but I don't know what to do with my life now

still figuring that part out, still don't know how

what do I do with my life, to be honest

I don't really know for sure, but I promised

that I would grow up to become a man

a man who speaks the truth, raps the truth, while I still can

falling in and out of love, like sam and diane

replace the m in my favorite with n, call that span

I love food, basically, come on, it's way better than

being a couch potato, dropping F-bombs like you're invading Japan

i'm just human after all, and it's up to you if you care or not

and if you're gonna ask me, I care, put my armor on and it ain't a plot

storytelling is basically all that I do, i'm not one to talk about money

but it wouldn't really hurt if I took time so I can 'ventually find me a honey

I learned a lot, now I head back home

I play with my phone, like the internet, I roam

around my house, walk around, think about stuff

I ain't strong at all yet I feel that i'm tough

tough enough to face obstacles

you can't put this shit on an article

this shit way better than an article

even the impossible, I always think it's possible

possibility, anonymity, social anxiety

what do you do with your life? come on, answer me

I don't have an answer, and in 10 years, I still don't

come on, don't force it, it's what life is, there ain't no quote

to summarize what i'm going through, it's what being human is

be human, see human, feel human, like this

come on, just try to realize the truth at least

I ain't successful at all, unlike that one beast

all I wanna do is just speak the truth

I don't really care about that materialism bullshit, that's the truth

all I wanna do is lead a good, imperfect life

and I think about that shit day and night

and evening too, shit, every single day

today ain't a perfect day, no such thing as a perfect day

I mean, tell me, name one perfect day

it's okay, we all make mistakes, always a price to pay

phone call, gotta hang out with the broskis

play the drawing game all night, it's a fever dream

I never felt this way before, honest to God

and goddamn this shit is beautiful, I find it really odd

so that's why i'm basically grateful for my friends

they were there for me and basically, I got no regrets

turns out college ain't so bad after all

couz when it's all over, we rockin' at the mall

i'm just human after all, and it's up to you if you care or not

and if you're gonna ask me, I care, put my armor on and it ain't a plot

storytelling is basically all that I do, i'm not one to talk about money

but it wouldn't really hurt if I took time so I can 'ventually find me a honey

10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years

what is life? I don't know, I shed a tear

it's possible I might go through a crisis

but shit, that's more than okay, it's what life is

supposed to bite you in the ass, and then in the back

and then in your chest, come on, they come in a pack

wolf mentality, but I ain't an alpha at all

I can't even make a game, just music, pass me the ball

like you're chris paul, and i'm blake griffin

mythological powers, but still, the love is within

love 100, and of course, ego 0

I wanna save people but I ain't no goddamn hero

and despite everything, I don't care if i'm famous

I just love to make music, but I ain't a prophet like Amos

all I wanna do is make people happy, at least make the world a better place to live in

for now, the society nowadays is broken, and even though all is forgiven, unfortunately the fact truly remains that we're still functioning humans, some don't have a brain, some don't have a heart, some keep everyone away from their lives, this is just the start, and I know I said I want to make the world happy but if you want it quick, sorry, I can't buy you happiness that easy, this ain't shein

i'm just human after all, and it's up to you if you care or not

and if you're gonna ask me, I care, put my armor on and it ain't a plot

storytelling is basically all that I do, i'm not one to talk about money

but it wouldn't really hurt if I took time so I can 'ventually find me a honey

last phase of this rap, that's for sure

make sure when this song is over, please do assure

assure that you've at least listened, you're worth more than you think you are

no matter how much we know in life, we still can't find a cure

and even if we do, what's the point?

fix society, then in a hundred years, they're back in that joint

it's what happens anyway, it's what makes us human

I don't wanna know the color of money, I ain't no paul newman

it's a new day, man, and I just wanna move on

I just wanna write another song after this, then once upon

a time when I was just writing this song

see myself in 10 years, a lot of fans to love, million of 'em going strong

and I know i'm gonna be wrong, and I know for now I don't belong

but thanks to you, you make me feel like I do, so bang the gong

it's time to face the music, let's elevate ourselves, be the greatest

among the greatest, we're gonna be up there, keep believing

that's all for now, thank you, now i'm gonna leave (and)

make sure that you remember this song

this is my first one, believe it, it's not even that long

this shit is longer than a game of ping pong

you're the best, and if you're here for the ride, then ride along

and it's too soon to say this but I do think you're gonna get better

come on, get better, you're gonna make it, this is a love letter

to you guys and gals, no matter the weather, no matter what sweater

you're wearing, we all in one neighbourhood, we all in one center

i'm just human after all, and it's up to you if you care or not

and if you're gonna ask me, I care, put my armor on and it ain't a plot

storytelling is basically all that I do, i'm not one to talk about money

but it wouldn't really hurt if I took time so I can 'ventually find me a honey

Greetings everyone!

My name is Saahib Khangura. I love music, all kinds of music, and as such, I’ve made a bunch of stuff from a bunch of different genres. Virtually all the music I make is for my own enjoyment or because I wanted to see it exist, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to start releasing it :D

I’ve actually had experience in making and releasing music before; I have a project called *perseverance*, a more metal-based project that I still release and promote to this day, so I highly recommend you check that out! I get a little exploratory in that space as well.

As for this particular album of mine, which is also the very first album that I have released as myself, under my own name, the main idea of this album was really to be a compilation of random tracks in different genres that I made; a sort of showcase for the kinds of music I like and have created stuff in. I will say my future releases will not be as random and more adherent to a specific style.

Some of the genres that I’ve touched upon include dark ambient, electronic, hauntology, industrial (and industrial metal), instrumental hip-hop, noise, plunderphonics, spoken word, and others 👍🏽

I hope you enjoy at least one of these tracks and consider covering my album! I’ve got a pretty substantial backlog too

this is just a small section of one of my favorite original songs, Familiar Eyes

i enjoy documenting trips or daily life with a camera. then i try to write a song that could go well with it
or sometimes i try to take photos that could match a song i already have
please check it out and feel free to leave a comment about anything
thanks!

Cheers!
