Chris Brown Hot New 'X' Music 2014: Listen to 'Autumn Leaves' Featuring Kendrick Lamar
Chris Brown's latest single "Autumn Leaves" featuring Kendrick Lamar, off his highly anticipated, much delayed sixth studio album "X," was leaked online Wednesday.
In the Bam and Roccstar-produced slow jam, the "Loyal" hitmaker displays his emotional side with soulful lyrics about the struggles of moving on from a failed long-term relationship.
"It seems that all the autumn leaves are falling / I feel like you're the only reason for it," Breezy sings the melancholy chorus. "All the things you do, all the things you, do all the things you do / It's safe to say you're the only reason for it" he sings the chorus.
"I've been bleeding in your silence / I feel safer in your violence / I hold on like leaves in fall to what is left," he continues in the second verse. "Before I sleep I talk to God / He must be mad with me, it's coming / I'm confused who'll I'll spend my forever with."
Accompanied by pulsating bass line, the "New Flame" crooner uses the metaphoric imagery of leaves falling on the ground before the Compton emcee jumps on the mellow beat, offering some wise advice.
"When you make mistakes the most (the most) / One day it'll make you grow (you grow) / When you outlandish and you lose manners / To God you shall consult (consult)," K. Dot spits his moody verse.
"When the bright cameras are still cramming / In your face and it provoke (provoke) / You to act manic, just stay planted / 'Cause you reapin' what you sowed," he continues in his signature iambic pentameter. "Keep positivity in your heart and / Keep a noose from 'round your throat."
Chris Brown's forthcoming 21-track album "X," which will feature various guests including Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, R. Kelly, Akon and more, is set for a release on Sept. 16.
