lyrics

Ralph Peterson told me I didn't have to be from a region to own the music of it
That's why I'm speaking in patterns that leave you thinking I'm kinfolk to rap dungeon descendants and jazz cats
Fakebook and mic in my back pack
The extra weights got my hips misaligned
But whats more important the body or mind
I still body a whole verse while embodying Chet Baker on Body and Soul
Second of all
Let me take a second to recollect my multiple foci
Spoken word lines that poke you in both eyes and make your forehead tingle
The Lord said mingle and eat with venal tax men and corrupt people so I
Cop a gyro on third street then squat the curb to eat while I watch the mural sitting on the face of the wall that I'm facing
I feel the art speaking to me
Better get it in my soul
Like Charles Mingus
Symbolic self portrait in three colors
Hitting the band stand and hollering Lord Jesus I just pray the Lord sees us soon
