my music dream.

I wish I could be a musician and sing my little heart out.

I wish I could be like Lauryn Hill, motivating hearts,

..yet not falling for every cheap record deal.

I wish I could be revolutionary like the raps of Talieb Kweli.

I wish I could team up and work with someone

like QuestLove or Black Thought.

I wish I could have the mind of Erykah Badu.

I wish I could be as passionate as Alicia Keys.

I only wish to bring soul back to music.

I only wish I could change the 'music industry'

..making the underdogs of music the ones we hear on the radio.

 

Just give me a band. Give me a piano player, drummer, bassists,

a few sax players, a good bass and brass line.

Forget giving me a 'banging beat'..

it's from that very concept that we need to retreat.

Let's get together and make music.

Let's cure the souls that are sick

& that believe this stuff on the radio is the sh*t.
