AUDIO DEMONSTRATION: Teleport by The Black Opera (Production Composed by Audible Doctor) (w/ LYRICS)


“All Black in the summer…
Yea I’m a little bit crazy that’s a Under-
Statement, Metta World Peace royal rumble.
No funereal but dressed just like the Under-
Taker, fuck a loud pack I pack thunder.
Heavy like the regime the Berlin Wall collapsed under.
I’m gone, I’m gone, I ain’t even here no mo.
YOU say YOU wanna revolution WE said that a year ago.
If Revolution’s in the Music YOU fools would not hear a note.
Gave YOU lyrical, now it’s Musical, it’s Cyrano.
Sometimes I need a little time just to zone out…
Hey YOU, please find YOUR own cloud.
Hey Jude, YOU’RE goin down the wrong route.
Prelude: fade the end of YOU’RE song out…
Outro. Roll the Credits.
I don’t know where I’m headed, I just know I’m gon get it.”
- TBOG #120279


CHORUS:
“Yea, I’m bout to Teleport. 
Flying in and out of town. Every time I touch down, yea she know I wear the Crown.
I’m bout to Teleport. 
Just made another field goal. 3 points on the board. Once I score I’m gone.
Yea, I’m bout to Teleport. Teleport. 
Yea, I’m bout to Teleport. Teleport. 
You know I’m bout to Teleport.
Flying in and out of town. Every time I touch down, yea she know I wear the Crown.” 

“It’s Hell on Earth. Let’s Fly to Heaven.
I told her use her Brain first. She learned her Lesson.
Still she be Goin’ Dumb talkin’ on that Smart Phone.
The way she paint them lady lumps is like a Art Form.
How YOU fit them jeans? Damn, YOU got me Open.
Girl, let me pull that Boot-leg off like SOPA.
Them other chicks be here today, but they gone next.
Them sluts will give YOU Hearing AIDS from some Phone Sex.
I’m on that, I’m on that long term commitment shit.
Aint trynna hold her if another nigga hittin’ it.
Might Teleport her in the morning If I’m feeling it.
They say WE Horny cause WE Devilish, aint that some shit.
Yea thats that shit, that classic Outkast shit.
Feelin’ So Fresh and So Clean: John the Baptist.
And, YOU a Blessing on My Team: First Draft Pick.
As long as WE aint stressin’ on no Cream WE GOT THIS.
Yea, WE Got It. Yea Yea, WE Got It. 
Uh Uh, WE Got It. Yea Yea, WE Got It. 
Uh Uh, WE Got It. Yea Yea, WE Got It. 
As long as WE aint stressin’ on no Cream WE GOT THIS.” - TBOG #041380

CHORUS:
“Yea, I’m bout to Teleport. 
Flying in and out of town. Every time I touch down, yea she know I wear the Crown.
I’m bout to Teleport. 
Just made another field goal. 3 points on the board. Once I score I’m gone.
Yea, I’m bout to Teleport. Teleport. 
Yea, I’m bout to Teleport. Teleport. 
You know I’m bout to Teleport.
Flying in and out of town. Every time I touch down, yea she know I wear the Crown.”

VIDEO DEMONSTRATION: The Magician by The Black Opera ft Vaughn G. & Jade Lathan (Composed by Astronote) [Directed by Andy Madeleine] (w/ LYRICS)

“She said she lookin’ for a Magician: Somebody to Preform.
Somebody to divide up her Horizon from The Storm.
Her brain is Partly Cloudy; She would like a different norm.
Translation can’t pronounce it but I got her speaking tongues.
When I pull it out the hat: Intended BIG PUN.
Her face lookin’ like a 3-prong outlet unplugged.
She Paying for my Attention: She came to hear my song.
She said I fit the position: The Costume and The Wand.
Crowd Volunteering got her entering my stage.
Now I don’t know who chose who like religion and debates.
Division: Love and Hate.
She shake that Money Make - Her, Face is like a Drug…
She take away my Pain - First, she say WE in Love…
She was a good judge of character.
But, Focused on the wrong things in the Picture like a Negative.
A Disappearing Act: Now YOU see her, Now YOU don’t.
And. thus begins the adventure. You’d like to sing along?” - TBOG #041380

CHORUS:
“Now I done seen a lot of women go, but I want YOU to be a part of my show.
I just need a Volunteer, to come right here. We can disappear.
I know you seen a lot of men go (GO), but maybe I can be a part of YOUR show.
So if YOU need a Volunteer, come right here. We can disappear.
Lets Go.” - Vaughn G.


“I mean she made one cheek move independently from the other I was dumbfounded…/
Thunderous, when she made it clap man it was similar to how a gun sounded…
All her facial features matchin’.
Science says its symmetry that makes people attractive.
Speakers slappin’ goin’ Hammer Pants.
Not to mention I was enamored by her mammary glands.
Dance, I could watch for days.
Ghetto ballet, The Black Opera way.
I’m tryin’ to leave here with all my dough.
Trickin? No can do like Hall & Oates.
It’s 3am now I’m fatigued like army clothes.
Time to go back home to my woman snap outta Party Mode.
She had them amazing vanishing clothing articles.
And, she made your money disappear (poof), dollars gone.” - TBOG #120279

CHORUS:
“Now I done seen a lot of women go, but I want YOU to be a part of my show.
I just need a Volunteer, to come right here. We can disappear.
I know you seen a lot of men go (GO), but maybe I can be a part of YOUR show.
So if YOU need a Volunteer, come right here. We can disappear.
Lets Go.” - Vaughn G.


“I was YOUR Volunteer. Stuck witcha through the years.
And, when YOU lost YOUR job: Magically I Paid the Bills.
Those broken promises, YOU Never kept YOUR Word.
YOU left me home alone, telling me YOU were at work.
But WE know, that’s a, Lie.
YOU were, out with, her all, Night.
But it’s, okay, because, I.
Called up, my man, on the, Side.
But I’m, tired of playing these games.
I want YOU to be my man.
Know I’m trying to make YOU understand.
On the count of 3 baby I’ll Vanish.
I’ll Vanish…
I’ll Vanish….
I’ll Vanish…
I’ll Vanish….
I, just want YOU in My World, but YOU just want to Lie.
I, just don’t understand why YOU…………………..” - Jade Lathan

REST IN POWER: Camilla Williams. (Black Opera OURstory)
“Camilla Williams, the first black woman to appear in a leading role with a major US opera company has died in Indiana aged 92.
She had been suffering from cancer, according to Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where Williams became the first black professor of voice.
The singer made her debut in May 1946 in the title role of Madam Butterfly with the New York City Opera.
She also became a strong advocate for civil rights.
“It’s impossible to overstate how important that was for the music scene in New York, for African-American singers, and for American singers,” F Paul Driscoll, the editor-in-chief of Opera News, told the Washington Post.
Williams’ debut performance came nearly nine years before Marian Anderson became the first African-American singer to appear at New York’s more prestigious Metropolitan Opera.
A New York Times review of Williams at the time, said the singer displayed “a vividness and subtlety unmatched by any other artist who has assayed the part here in many a year”.
The following year she performed the role of Mimi in Puccini’s La Boheme and in 1948 she sang the title role of Verdi’s Aida.
In 1951 she sang the title female role in first complete recording of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.
A lifetime member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the singer performed in her hometown of Danville, Virginia in 1963, to raise funds to free jailed civil rights demonstrators.
She also sang the national anthem before 200,000 people at the 1963 civil rights march on Washington, immediately before Martin Luther King gave his famous I Have a Dream speech.
In 1950, she married defence lawyer Charles Beavers, whose clients included civil rights leader Malcolm X.
After Beavers’ death in 1970, Williams stepped away from opera in 1971 and began teaching before eventually retiring in 1997.
Her autobiography - The Life of Camilla Williams, African American Classical Singer and Diva - was published last year.” - BBC News

“BLACK CITY BITCH.
BLACK BLACK CITY BENZ.
High Saditty Chicks Want a Black Business Man.
Full House with a pocket full of Olsen Twins,
Making more White Money than a Black President.
Crackers hate it, while the niggas wanna mimic.
White niggas sayin’ nigga more than niggas.
White girls always down for whatever.
But, he trynna get his niggas up in Paris.
Momma say: Aint that shit Cray?
Z’s on the test skipping college everyday,
Cause Whoever play the best get a Scholarship to Pay
Nigga I don’t need the lessons, man I think I’m Bill Gates.
But, he aint even got a Steve Job.
Burnt bridges got em eating off a Bridge Card.
Syrup sipping got em leaning like a Retard.
Thug Life nigga, Hoes down, Gs up.
Crack pipe nigga, Coked Out, Pills what?
Got one life, Imma live it in a hurry.
Nigga plus I kill the mic/mike like Con Murray.
That’s Conrad Murray…
I think I’m Con Murray.
Now where them white girls at?

Take her to the crib I don’t even know her name,
Pocket full of pills I don’t need no game.
Now where that white horse at?
