(+) Best false notes on talent shows
I’m in a jazz club
I hear the music play
I feel the saxophone notes
but I just stare at his face
And I reflect upon his fluid
form of movements
His use of the best band
comprised of a couple students
my goodness!
I mean talent wise his
skill was incomparable
To anything that I’ve seen so
I just ponder and watch
I just look on and really didn’t
want it to stop tracks that he laid
paid for the train
in my thoughts I patiently wait
thinking bout this man
and his past Did he rock
a million shows
make a hundred thousand
in cash With a few platinum plaques
at his pad outside of reno
Or did he fall deep
inside of a new casino
These are questions
that I pose when I ponder
On the chance of me
like 20 years down the road
when I am half of me
Will I fall under
the same fate or direction?
Lessons that I’ve learned
when I burn through my conceptions
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind
of a jazz city poet
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind
of a jazz city poet
I was told that if you’re blessed
with a gift the most selfish
Thing you could do is pretend
that it didn’t exist
So I take drums that hit
with a jazzy riff when I spit
My moms flipped her script
when I told her about
my gigs but its cool
she knew that I was driven
at twenty two
now its coming full circle
kicking it back to you
Graduated school
with a new point of a vengeance
Farewell to my fears
I will stay clear of your venom
Stumbled on the serum
chillin with nothing left
Feelings in my chest like
I’m ripping it through a vest
And im taking it to the next step
kill the regret
Any mistakes
that I made is now a part of my past
Im taking it home
can’t stop, leave it alone
Part of myself yells to keep
keeping it going
The lights dim down again
the Saxophone starts to play
I start to picture everything
I wish I could say
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes
dancing and I know it
Welcome to the mind
of a jazz city poet
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes
dancing and I know it
Welcome to the mind
of a jazz city poet
I lounge back while
I relapse and I might go
The whole track starts
to relax and I write slow
Back to the tempo pondering music
When I would think about
the future with songs
That’ll get me through it I’m good
deal it if I’m misunderstood
Hope my future children see
take it and they achieve
Poppa Followed Christ
poppa was in love
Poppa had dreams
but Poppa will never be
A puppet used to poison
the passionate plus irrelevant
Portraits on a beat
taking a part of me
I rather take a seat
in a room full of my heroes
Their hair turning grey
wearing their cowl and cape
I just listen, taking mental notes
within my vision
The longer conversation
i'm pondering my condition
As a writer, the lights
start to flicker on its brighter
As passion starts to leave
I make a promise to write her
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes
dancing and I know it
Welcome to the
mind of a jazz city poet
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind
of a jazz city poet
Its just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind
