I have been around and I have seen a lot.
And many a time I have been to the ballot.
Sometimes when I am looking around,
I see their ignorance being spoken out loud.
At times when I get lost I try to find you, you know to give me space when it's time to in my best common voice you put smiles on me put hope in me you be the joy in me.
I am tired
I’ve finished a thirteen hour shift
at the hospital
It’s dark out
I can’t clearly see.
I climb into my black Jeep Wrangler
It's that trap muzak
misspelled rap muzak
or crap muzak
either way it's that muzak
I miss the days when Raven Symone was black muzak
hope Musiq Soulchild comes back
but not back muzak

Mothers and Sons, daughters and their fathers.

I met this guy when I was around 15,
he was way older than me, old school..
But it was cool, cause he was soulful,
Soul to soul,
Me and him,

discreet and soft spoken.
So unkown and alien just like
the dark side fo the moon.
Comely as a ruby till
blood is drawn due to wrong.

He called her his whore,
his slut,
his own bitch to ride on,
like dogs.Prized only darkness,
like lights.
Abandoned in public,
like free-speech.
She wasn’t free,
she wasn’t light,
Track One:
The beat plays and he ignores that intuition
Grabbing his notebook and pen to begin his rhymes
It’s like his love's past is causing this prevention
