Love Ends Up Dead
Rubbing elbows with important people
Grifting off a talent you don’t possess
Always funding someone else's dream
Down to the very last detail you obsess
Catering to his every need gotta be hands on
Seize the right moment before it’s long gone
Preaching under the guise of protection
Getting dirty just to glow in the power
Morphing into some pseudo father figure
Pawn his future just to fill an hour
Envy fueling the dynamic of this relationship
Wrecking his heart for a one man ego-trip
A father looks out for his...
Grifting off a talent you don’t possess
Always funding someone else's dream
Down to the very last detail you obsess
Catering to his every need gotta be hands on
Seize the right moment before it’s long gone
Preaching under the guise of protection
Getting dirty just to glow in the power
Morphing into some pseudo father figure
Pawn his future just to fill an hour
Envy fueling the dynamic of this relationship
Wrecking his heart for a one man ego-trip
A father looks out for his...

The Turkey Bird Song
We love meaty, big plump birds
They gobble and rarely fly
On the chopping block it goes
Don't feel sorry, no need to cry
Pluck it's feathers make it smooth
Spread cranberry sauce like sap
Spread its legs for stuffing
Leftovers galore for a midnight snack
Wings are Flappin
Necks are Snappin
Turkey Slappin
If you haven't heard
This bird is the word
A feast fit for a king
Nothing more this bird can sing
He gobbled his way into our hearts
The only song we have, are these loud, smelly farts
They gobble and rarely fly
On the chopping block it goes
Don't feel sorry, no need to cry
Pluck it's feathers make it smooth
Spread cranberry sauce like sap
Spread its legs for stuffing
Leftovers galore for a midnight snack
Wings are Flappin
Necks are Snappin
Turkey Slappin
If you haven't heard
This bird is the word
A feast fit for a king
Nothing more this bird can sing
He gobbled his way into our hearts
The only song we have, are these loud, smelly farts

Light
In the night I tried to find you
In my heart I tried to guide you
But your pain won't let me near
Won't let me dry those precious tears
Went through the rain and through the dark
try to find your precious heart
tried to break those chains that bind you
grab my hand so I can guide you
All that pain and open wounds
feel insane, no one coming soon
I am the one who tried to find you
follow my light I'm here to guide you
With every tear you cried and dried
You died a little every time
no one ever tried...
In my heart I tried to guide you
But your pain won't let me near
Won't let me dry those precious tears
Went through the rain and through the dark
try to find your precious heart
tried to break those chains that bind you
grab my hand so I can guide you
All that pain and open wounds
feel insane, no one coming soon
I am the one who tried to find you
follow my light I'm here to guide you
With every tear you cried and dried
You died a little every time
no one ever tried...

POETRY ON MY MIND
THINKING
I got up this morning
With poetry on my mind,
So I sat right down
And wrote the first line.
I am not writing poetry
To see a book on a shelf;
I write for one reason
And that's to please myself.
I got up this morning
To face another day;
The words of my poetry
Started me on the right way.
I do not expect or need
The applause of men;
I have unlimited words
That are my best friends.
"What are you thinking?"
I am asked many times,
My answer to simple:
"I have...

And that's to please myself.
I got up this morning
To face another day;
The words of my poetry
Started me on the right way.
I do not expect or need

I have unlimited words
That are my best friends.
"What are you thinking?"
I am asked many times,
My answer to simple:

Deep Cuts
.
.
.
I come from a time when we delved deep
Into a band’s L.P., Cassette, or C.D.
There was a ritual to opening a package
Then listening to an album in its entirety
The radio friendly hits were like appetizers
Songs which raised interest and curiosity
But an album gave a complete perspective
Discovering a recording artists’ virtuosity
In these deep cuts you’d uncover their talent
Compositions that displayed magical ingenuity
Hard work and passion poured onto projects
Into sessions where they showed...

Practice Bars 2
So buzzed - it's insane.
Smoked up - hit the J.
Flow comes - NBA.
Post up - hit the J.
Shawty "hit on me", like she put a hit on me.
Surely "Swiss army", I'm "reserved to switch on," see.
Her face was "drag" like cheap queer.
She made Bruh "gag" like cheap beer.
Her taste was "ass" like seat smeared.
She may be "had" like scheme here.
Y'all got "dive bars" - poor service.
Dawg gon' "bite hard" on "curbed...

In the Dead of the Night
Intro:
In the dead of night, the cradle rocks.
Echoes in the shadows, ticking clocks.
Tiny hands reach out for air.
Chaos reigns, curly hair everywhere.
Rhyme 1:
Under the moonlight, whispers grow,
silent secrets only shadows know.
From the cradle to the rocking chair,
curly hair is everywhere.
Chorus:
Rock the cradle, feel the storm,
in the darkness love takes form.
Curly hair, wild and free,
a symbol of our destiny.
Rhyme 2:
Midnight cries break the silence....
In the dead of night, the cradle rocks.
Echoes in the shadows, ticking clocks.
Tiny hands reach out for air.
Chaos reigns, curly hair everywhere.
Rhyme 1:
Under the moonlight, whispers grow,
silent secrets only shadows know.
From the cradle to the rocking chair,
curly hair is everywhere.
Chorus:
Rock the cradle, feel the storm,
in the darkness love takes form.
Curly hair, wild and free,
a symbol of our destiny.
Rhyme 2:
Midnight cries break the silence....

Stones of Heart
Stones of heart pretentiously
falling in my dreams weeping
masquerading twilight's sorrow
as the moon waxes and wanes
listening to winds upon a time
dance in porcelain shadows
of Autumn's crimson-red
as nature's puppets sleep
falling in my dreams weeping
masquerading twilight's sorrow
as the moon waxes and wanes
listening to winds upon a time
dance in porcelain shadows
of Autumn's crimson-red
as nature's puppets sleep

Purple Reign
I do NOT own the rights to this song rewritten or in its altered state
This is so beautiful in harmony if you sing it as Prince is singing his version, try it, trust me
I never meant to cause you any problems
Or walk away with distress to the brain
I only wanted one time to see you smile and changing
Rapture while dancing in the bliss of a SweetKitty’s Purple Reign
Purple reign, purple reign
Purple reign, purple reign
Purple reign, purple reign
Only want to see you...
This is so beautiful in harmony if you sing it as Prince is singing his version, try it, trust me
I never meant to cause you any problems
Or walk away with distress to the brain

Rapture while dancing in the bliss of a SweetKitty’s Purple Reign
Purple reign, purple reign
Purple reign, purple reign
Purple reign, purple reign
Only want to see you...
