Brittany Howard Goat Head (earthgang Remix)

Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard has been enjoying the success of her critically acclaimed solo debut album, Jaime, which was considered one of the best of 2019 by numerous publications including The New York Times, Vice, and Rolling Stone.

The album was a sonic departure from the blues-tinged rock she became known for with Alabama Shakes, incorporating elements of hip hop and jazz. Now, Howard continues her flirtations with hip hop with a brand new remix featuring Atlanta duo EarthGang.

“We’ve been big fans of Brittany and Alabama Shakes so this is a dream come true,” EarthGang said of their collaboration with Howard. “Songs like these help us make sense of all the craziness in the world at times. Her song ‘Goat Head,’ dealing with her Black experience in America and the world, resonated the loudest at this time. Just thankful to be able to give the world our medicine and heal the people.”

The remix with EarthGang is the first of two singles released in anticipation of Howard’s upcoming Jaime remix album. She also tapped My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Yeezus secret weapon Bon Iver for a remix of her song “Short and Sweet.”

Lyrics

[Intro: Brittany Howard]
My heroes are black
My heroes are black

[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
America the brutalizer
Takin’ out her pain on us but who knows why?
Probably ’cause we fly
‘Cause we can work magic with the wink of an eye
When I dance sparks fly, now watch me guide
Phenomenal minds, phenomenal kinds
The beautiful ones, uh, sign of the times
To live is a threat, to breathe is a crime
I’m one by a guy, was forced in the [?]
My career soars while black bodies hit the floor
I feel guilt, shame, I could always does some more
Are words enough? Thus the storytelling
Lighting to burn it up, marching and fist bumpin’
Generational fire, got the whole city burnin’
We will not be denied
You ain’t get the memo, that we ain’t to be fucked with
Fighters return, the fire in the words, [?]
Statues will fall, ancestors watchin’, enjoyin’ us
Restore the balance, my tongue calice, from school at Alice
Talkin’ racist whack shit
Livin’ in her Wonderland bubble, bubblin’ up (Damn)
You searchin’ for the problems, shawty that’s it

[Chorus: Brittany Howard]
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me (Goat head in the back)
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me (Woo, uh-uh)
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me (Goat head in the back)

[Verse 2: Doctur Dot]
Slave blood, king’s blood
Mothership, mean dub
Everything we dreamed of, it’s finally us
Damn it’s good, from your average hood
I’d rather be overpaid then understood
Only God can judge, me and my accomplices (Failin’ to comply)
Got my weapon as my ride, let’s be heavily supplied
I ain’t shit but a relection of the times, to the naked eyes
So even when I’m sleep, I look like something to be threatened by
This is for the fingertips, dipped in red dust, on the city bus
No option for givin’ up
I’m the sun son, so the nature look be stickin’ up
Sunday brunch with Bron, I ain’t eat much but I listen up
Talk some wisdom up, rolled a bigger blunt
Laugh to keep from tearin’ up
Had to fuck the city up to make her take us serious
Don’t pick up your cell, 12, what you like amphibian
They put us all through Hell, and tell us God work so mysterious

[Chorus: Brittany Howard]
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me (Goat head in the back)
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me
I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me (Goat head in the back)

[Outro: Brittany Howard]
My heroes are black (Come take [?] at me
My heroes are black)
(I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me)
(I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me)
(I’m sad, can you see?
Come take [?] at me)
