Heard A Song

Let me take you
To a place where all words allude, no name
Make or break you
Everything you hear seem so strange
Let it overthrow you
Let it build up lay you down that change
The rhythm seems to flow through
Every part of your body you feel it the same
Keep on hearing the same drop
But cant remember the notes now as clear as it was
I prayed that it would stop
Then I turned around begged it to return once gone
Play one more time for me
One more time just to know
So play one more time for me
One more time for me just to know
I heard a song last night
Can’t remember but I’ll try
It went ...
It begins how it ends, ascending with a symphony of strings
Just to drop you down again
Feel every hair on your skin
Aint nowhere too deep you can sink
Should the sound of silence descend
Would you seek to forget or to find it again
So beautiful a thing, most unique of a blend
Any tribute would surely fall short and offend
Keep on hearing the same drop
But can’t remember the notes now as clear as it was
I prayed that it would stop
Then I turned around begged it to return once gone
Play one more time for me
One more time just to know
So play one more time for me
One more time for me just to know
I heard a song last night
Can’t remember but I’ll try
It went...
I HEARD A SONG LAST NIGHT
The sweetest thing I ever heard in life
It went na na a na a na

Mr Lonely

Mr lonely thing
Even in the end I’ll be in my room
Just where I always been
I and I alone with the tune
Mr lonely thing
Not coming down anytime soon
But thanks for noticing
Made a song I wrote you
Thoughts screaming walls and ceilings
Welcome my world please leave shoes in the deep end
Put your feet refreshments are frequent
Wave goodbye your ration and reason
Get in place for a passionate evening
Or week or a day all depend on the season think
See the motion of days when I blink
Think you close, I’m the brink
I’m In my ocean with holes in my sink
Now baby boy row this boat ashore
See the lands of time before
Speak of what they wrote and war
But war no first n foremost
Too many of those peace in my dojo
Dim the light low, hear fine notes
Peace of mind as it shine through smoke
Mr lonely thing
Even in the end I’ll be in my room
Just where I always been
I and I alone with a tune
Mr lonely thing
The only thing he hold is tune
But thanks for noticing
I do hope you’ll come down
Paint the skies all different kinds
Of colours
you never seen your life
Grow your mind to hu mungous sizes
New horizon you’ll be so surprised what you’ll see
I sail where the melody be Where the weather be blesser
when we roll with the breeze
Wrote you a letter sent but from dream
We’ll be together in the moment you sleep
The moment you wake fill those pages for me take your time,
take as long as you need
I know that you’re fine, you’re focused and free
don’t forget you must give to receive
And I know that you feel it too
Like no one understands
Overwhelmed feeling broken and bruised
I’m sending my love to you
Mr lonely thing
Even in the end I’ll be up in my room
Just where I always been
I and I alone with the tune
Mr lonely thing
Not coming down anytime soon
But thanks for noticing
Made a song I wrote you
Love me the sound but fearing the fade
Nothings forever yeh that’s what they say
So do as you will and come as you may
Mr lonely is sure too remain

Looking at You
04:07

I’m just looking at you
Like some kinda fool
I’m drawn to the way that you move
Out of sorts I don’t know what to do
It’s something big I can’t describe
Maybe the way that you move in the lights
Little piece of sun you make a man blind
I could sit here and watch you all night
Oh boy what a sweet sight
What is this a creature that before my eyes
Little piece of sun you make a gal shine
I could sit and watch you all night
And should she notice my zone
I’d smile along with a nod let her know
I care not to impose on your toast
Just so you I came and leaving alone
And should he catch me alone
I’d give it right back but he seem so cold
Maybe he shy like many I know
Not planning no attack just a smile and withold
Just looking you
Like some kind of fool
I’m drawn to the way that you move
Out of sorts I don’t know what to do
I’m just looking at you
Like some kinda fool
I’m drawn to the way that you move
Some things you see are best let be
No matter how good they may seem
Greedy men want than more than needs
And hungry girls aint that easy please
I ponder on what could be, wonder if you feeling me
I wonder what type he seek a bad gal or nice clean
I bet she got the man of dreams, a life full of cars and rings
I bet he got a voice that sings to whisper me sweet nothings
I’ve been left for dry and tossed aside
A walk in my past ain’t no beautiful sight
I’ve been fooled and lied to
Who am I to assume I could
Fear not my dear I’m most sincere
And I came seek not interfere
What you possess is bold and clear
And I dare not approach I’m just looking at….
Just looking you
Like some kind of fool
I’m drawn to the way that you move
Out of sorts I don’t know what to do
I’m just looking at you
Like some kinda fool
I’m drawn to the way that you move

Big Smoke

Those who have and who don’t
This is what you gunna see on the road
People’ll sleep on the street every day
Benz white rims gold
Aint got no food on the plate
Benz white rims gold
Save all the pennies rattle your change
Benz white rims gold
Oooh
Where you gonna sleep tonight
On the streets or safe inside
Oooh
What you gonna eat tonight
The city corrupts my mind
This is the town that’s riddled with fears
Everyone sees you but nobody cares
Folks are freezing colder than air
Most will judge on the clothes you wear
Beware when you roam at night
There’s hungry fools with mad appetite
Armed with guns and knives
The minimal mind be stealing your life
Nothing is what the people say
They know what they see but they looking away
I’m begging a chance for folks to rise and
See them new horizons leave the routes violence
Needless youths are dying lullabies of sirens
Nobody bats and eyelid Just slumbering in silence
so peaceful and deceitful Gives you reason for your blindness
Those who have and who don’t
This is what you gunna see on the road
People’ll sleep on the street every day
Benz white rims gold ( normal, high, mid, low)
Aint got no food on the plate
Benz white rims gold
Save all the pennies rattle your change
Benz white rims gold
Where you gonna go, what you gonna do,
Where you gonna sleep, what you gonna eat?
You live all your life in a house of the same
Suddenly having to move far away
Leaving it all that you knew in a day
But get cash now you’re welcome to stay
The bigger the block the cheaper the place
The more kids you got the bigger the space
The more they can see you and study your face
At the end of the day, they know you by name
I’m begging for a chance for folks to rise and
See them new horizons no don’t leave them all behind now
From adults down to minors, just seeking fair alignment
They fallen through the cracks in the name of her highness
And now you see they slumbering, I say they peacefully silent
Never seem to want to ponder on the struggle of migrants
Wanna Deny their back bone built wealth the island
Send them back where they came with the tide
Never seen again
Those who have and who don’t
This is what you gunna see on the road
People’ll sleep on the street every day
Benz white rims gold
Aint got no food on the plate
Benz white rims gold
Save all the pennies rattle your change
