Too Rich Too Poor (Instrumental)
KHEMIST
Pre-Cleared
Produced by Anwar Marshall, Jack Union, and Anthony Bell, "A List Of Demands" is a tribute to the griot tradition entrenched in Black music, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of contemporary musical trends.
The album kicks off with "Night Night", a reminder that Khemist Mayfield, one of Philadelphia's finest rappers is also a remarkable singer, guitarist, and poet. Tracks like "Mexico" offer metaphorical tales of temporary and permanent escapes to paradises, while songs like "Hurt Undying" encapsulate the aftermath of tragedy. Rounding off the album is the country ballad "Every Bit Of It", a poignant portrayal of escapism's destructive consequences.
Khemist Mayfield's expert blend of genres - from boom-bap to rock, dancehall, and country, serves to create a timeless call to bear witness the realities of streets where opportunity remains elusive. Delivering his verses with raw urgency and accompanied by his trusty guitar, Khemist encapsulates seminal moments of the streets in his lyrics. "A List Of Demands" is not merely an album, it is the resonating echo that reverberates when the hammer hits the anvil.

Lyrics
I got you open/
Soon as you seen my life it got you hopin/
it get chaotic it’s like the joker/
So what I’m tokin on gotta be potent/
Yeah, gotta be potent/
Everybody know my name, cuz I’m important/
where I get my swag from, it’s imported/
Don’t even look at the tags we could afford it/
Yeah, we could afford it/
Wonder how I get them bags over the border/
Wonder how i get that lit over the water/
I’m in good company there shoulda went corporate/
Up in the air, Told you I’m a star/
Put on my name the chair/
I just play my part, I don’t care if they care/
I know that regardless, I’m stepping out in garments that need a red carpet/
Ghana superstar, show up in the city and they tryna get a vid wit me on god/
Harlem superstar, show up in the city and they know it’s gon be litty god damn/
Super, yeah I’m a superstar/
Is it that him, it is oh my gosh/
It can’t be, I love you so much/
When you superstar they wanna rush you/
Get up in the spot they wanna touch you/
Every time they need something You who they come to/
Wish that I could stay, I gotta run/
Cant be everywhere at once/
I’m hot mess/
but the fit so cold from the success/
I don’t even wanna call it a contest/
I’m so up it’s an upset/
Came up broke so I live wit no regret/
Ain’t dip toes we just dove in the deep end/
Ain’t get noticed til we showed up twinkling/
number of my bros gettin low and the hoes gettin frequent/
That’s how it goes/
Tryna get racks and put ‘em in rows/
Get wrapped and covered in gold/
To slide a Lamborghini up the coast/
Just so I could show you/
Ima go do everything I said I’m gon do/
And you could roll thru/
I’m Sittin at the top I’m never gon move/
And I know and I know and I know that I’m a superstar/
Don’t need to look me up you could find me anywhere you are/
Baby, you can come my may/
