Spillage Village Mecca

Today marks the arrival of Spilligion, the latest project from Atlanta collective Spillage Village. For those who don’t the Vill has been active for a minute now, the brainchild of J.I.D, EarthGang, Mereba, 6LACK, Jurdan Bryant, and Hollywood JB, along with their newest member, the multiinstrumentalist Benji. Though the opening singles “End Of Daze” and “Baptize” suggested that Spilligion might have had a darker, more apocalyptic tone, the project’s actual vibe was far more hopeful. In fact, there’s a notable folk-influence throughout, one that evokes campfire singalongs and whimsical forest exploration.

Though that might prove a little alienating to some, the lush and layered album does provide ample sights to discover. One particular highlight arrives courtesy of “Mecca,” a lively track that features contributions from J.I.D, Olu, and Wowgr8. Over a chaotic yet elegantly spiritual jam session, Johnny Venus steps up with some serious rock-star energy, his cadence packed with passionate swagger. Wowgr8 holds it down for verse two, his flow consistently top tier as he reflects on society’s crumbling foundation. Last but not least is J.I.D, who switches things up with a more melodic delivery, slowly building up as his story progresses.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Heita daar
Heita daar

[Pre-Chorus]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Colombia to Sudan, over to you

[Chorus]
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (Over the moon)
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (Sanbonani)

[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
Uh, big ol’ bird, I fly across the world and don’t look down
I make love to you, ain’t nothin’ in life can just sit around
Prolly get you killed, baby, and death don’t wait on love
Time to open up, now y’all should go release the doves
Down in Joburg, I met a girl and she was painted up like an alien
Told me, “Call her Mother Earth”
And I laid with her, now I can’t wake up
We got babies on top of babies
Raisin’ freedom fighters, makin’ super love
Won’t you follow me? We gon’ lead the way
Watch the whole world get high like us

[Pre-Chorus]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Colombia to Sudan, over to you

[Chorus]
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (Over the moon)
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love

[Verse 2: Doctur Dot]
Crash land, hop out the whip, did the plat’ plan
One giant leap, hit the moonwalk, you ain’t MJ till your shoes drop
You ain’t 2Pac ’til you shoot cops
Just another black man, every day a episode of Boondocks
And it’s really nothin’ you can do about it
Play a throwback on the juke box
Oh shit, ’06, O-J, Guwop
Got me in the mood now
Hit it out the ballpark, different kind of heartthrob
Aubrey tried to tell me, “It’s a Rollie, not a stopwatch”
When you from the bottom, every shot a long shot
So don’t try to tell me that it matter what I call God, I don’t get that
Y’all be lookin’ big mad, lying up in here, this hoe like Sinbad
Take it to my sideline, tip hat, you ain’t strapped, baby, get that

[Pre-Chorus]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Colombia to Sudan, over to you

[Chorus]
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (Over the moon)
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (Sanbonani)

[Verse 3: JID]
(Hey, if you wanna wrap it up)
Take me high, don’t take me low
You know we got a really long way to go
I gotta thank God for the Sun above
‘Cause my Black skin can’t shake the cold
Unlock your doors, open up your soul
You ain’t gotta be so Minnesota
They love me in Cologne, I ain’t talkin’ ’bout the odor
I love it when I’m home, on my sin, on my soldier, I’m demanded
(Dumelang, It’s Hello, it’s Sotho)
Now I met a man alone standin’, holdin’ a sign in his hand it read “stranded”
I took a chance and pull some money out my pants
And said, “Sorry, it’s not much, it’s what I have”
He laughed, said, “It’s love when you do what you can and you don’t have to
I got a mother and dad, they don’t even care where I’m at
Nigga, thank you”
Brother, go buy you a gun and rob a bank

[Pre-Chorus]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Colombia to Sudan, over to you

[Chorus]
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (Over the moon)
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love all ’round the world
Spread the love (One, two, three, get down)
