about

Listen to your heart. This song was originally written to a beat with a sample of Listen to your heart. Although I didn’t know that at the time, I just wrote what was on my heart and never really released the lyrics. The original recording of this song was released on a mixtape in 2008 – “Lazy Surgeon, Productive Summer” The poem at the end was written one day at work. It kind of came out of no where and I just loved it, so I through it on here. The beat was composed with nothing in mind, but after it was complete it reminded me of a Braille type of beat. Definitely worthy enough of being a performance track.

lyrics

I know its kind of simple something for my kinfolk
but you need lyrics for your instrumental
remember where we been too
mistakes that had us sinful
dishes worth a sink full. Listen very close
the past haunts us like kids & scary ghosts
this bread is made of toast like painful hours
when its time to spring bring us April showers
they say those showers bring may flowers
may flowers bring pilgrims -more than 8 hours
let me explain sours aren’t always sweet
a spoonful of sugar is not a healthy treat
what we need is meat to help us grow
more and more you know u got my trust bro
think I lack love no…instead I’m patient
people say that’s hard but I know I can make it

u got to follow your heart when you’re in dark
got to make it apart even if you’re far
look up at the stars who made it first
think you’re hungry but cant quench your thirst
so many distractions and side attractions
its faith that you lacking Satan’s attacking
but pain u just mask it yeah that’ll work
now u got more beef than a cattle’s worth
cant handle the dirt better get clean
muddy like them pigs sloppy as a sick team
I guess that’s your thing can’t walk blind
got caught from behind so u lost your eye
you see the reaction just for being plastic
who do you believe in as u get blasted
trust in your vest or trust everyone less
is IT an earthly quest or a heavenly test

I KNOW IT GETS ROUGH, DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START
WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

Dismantle Poetry
imagine, Clothes that feed
His majesty is closed to greed
I never chose to bleed
to be free
I’ve grown to speak
each day
and every single week
if you’re meek
keen
or bleak
only clean blood can redeem the weak
they tremble
at his speech
their temple’s
at His feet
reach out
get out - your seats NOW
He will
extend his hand
and reach down
twist
burn
scream or shout
ignore selfish pride
but don’t pout
if you’re wise
then bow down
and don’t doubt
how…
we can achieve to saturate the earth’s dirt
NO DROUGHT!!!
