“Children of the Cotton” isn’t just a track—it’s a cultural mirror, lyrical protest, and a warning shot from the front lines of truth. Stamped with GuttaIzReal’s razor-sharp bars and unapologetic conviction, the song slices through surface-level narratives and dives deep into the historical and mental traps Black communities still navigate.
From clever wordplay to hard truths, Gutta challenges what’s “real” in rap culture, confronting lazy lyricism and the erasure of Black genius. Backed by cinematic grit and a mind sharpened by experience, this is one of those tracks that demands a second, third, and fourth listen.
Lyrics:
Children of the Cotton
By GuttaIzReal
It’s crazy that.
They infiltrated with the lazy rap.
Switched it, called it facts.
Although they cap, you highly rating that.
Never heard many solutions—that’s part of the problem.
Instead of cultivating genius, we glean it and starve it.
Tried to tumble like a weed but got swept with harvest.
Placing value on yo soul with no stock in Artist.
Wow!
Hit the smoke then I contemplate.
How we gon' escape?
Kick a doe. Up it. Climb a gate.
Know you missing me.
In disguise, had to show up late.
Who else but us?
That’s faith that we propagate!
About:
Hailing from St. Louis, GuttaIzReal introduces himself to the world on his debut project E. Nig Matic, a title that alone signals rebellion, complexity, and brilliance. Part 1 of a powerful trilogy, this album fuses Gotham City darkness with Alice in Wonderland surrealism—think Mad Hatter in the trap, decoding generational trauma and surviving it in real time.
Deeply rooted in Black historical truths, this project represents the raw, unfiltered version of Gutta—before the branding, before the polish. With tracks like “Dark Matter,” “Cancer,” “Hopeless,” and “Better Route,” this body of work is not just an introduction, it’s a spiritual manifesto. And “Children of the Cotton” is the anthem that lights the fuse.

🧠 The Bigger Picture: Gutta’s brand is built on advocacy—mental health, prison reform, and breaking the cycles that keep us trapped. He’s launching not only a music trilogy but an accompanying docuseries to explore his journey through music and healing.
“It’s never too late. I’m not supposed to be here—statistically, I should’ve failed. But every little blessing, I use it to shift my life.”
This isn’t a rollout—it’s a renaissance. One that blends pain, purpose, and poetry in a way only GuttaIzReal can deliver.
Note: E. Nig Matic is just the beginning. If you’re not listening now, you will be later. Trust.
