All the Same

Got what I got now
lockdown's state of mind
wait and find life slipped away
today’s the day to seize
please believe while I breathe
it’s the bee's knees
on the breeze shootin’
see shoes in for improving
groovin moves
loose in smooth booms
soon to be out the cocoon
butter
fly as a UFO
when you let go
learn the ways of the gecko
blendin in like chameleons
sealin’ in the flavor
served like waiters
from creators seen majors turned
minor in plagal cadences
able maintenance manufactured
with ancient gifts
written in texts enlisted
to be absorbed
brain shifted
give it more give it more
greedy please please me
with the speedy deliveries
con contemplation
long awaiting paradigm gear switch
Where are the minds at?
appearance?
Not what it seems to
I guess we’re all the same in what we dream through
peek-a-bo peek-a-bo
be true or be seen through
speak to me I speak to you
if you think I’m being mean
I didn’t mean to
oooo
oo-oo-oo ah-ah
do what you gotta
to be you
I be me
I be who I be
change me you don’t need to
we’re all the same in what we breathe through
ooooo
dee dee dee da da
be who you gotta
to be true
I be who I be
change me you don’t need to
we’re all the same in what we bleed through
equal I quell a wishin well
well within positions past
seldom visions last
developed to envelop class
manufacturer
matt-o-fact pure
chatter to back fat
slaps with captured
taps collapsed
on time
like back when I was 9
in my mind when pops taught
the toe tap
naw tob kick back
you gotta feel that
and like that I was on a tribe tack
packed a sack with no eyes back
knowing there’s no act when the
inside maps lie flat
cap on on the zodiac
exact math counted at
every turn
plenty learned
lessons
eventually I will earn
my keep
with any opportunity
presented
until then I don’t sleep
see - it - through
see - it - through
be who you be
I be true
truthfully
I’m me how
I mean to
ooooo
ee - ee - ee
eh -eh
be - be
who you may may
I be me
you be you
I be to stay
change me you don’t need to
we’re all the same in what we dream through

How You Explore
02:19

I’m a horse
waiting for the slug
Your a puddle in the summer
emanating funk
the bus will be here
in a moment
the mirror draws you near enough
to lose what’s left of focus
The sun it beats down
to alight the way
colors like no other
but all you see is gray
Turn the crank now
Put it into gear
I don’t care where we’re headed
Let just get out of here
I guess I’m a whale
and my ambition is gone
to keep swimin’ circles
in this dingy little pond
dingy little pond
this dingy little pond
They wanted to be friends
So they swung the axe
and buried that hatchet
right into my back
Larger than the average guy
the water wicked right off
I can’t ask for apologies
for what I forgot
Now the trail is in flames
And the month tastes sweet
I guess I can enjoy
the pan and the heat
The block is getting old
the kid is growing up
They say I can’t get my cake
just by showing up
just by showing up
Well, a man’s gotta eat
and a dog’s gotta sleep
Be aware of your hands
when that hound’s counting sheep
Everything she wrote
could be a foot in the door
it’s not about where you are
but how you explore
but how you explore
but how you explore
I’m not just a sip
but a tall drink of water
Think before I tip
on what you had to offer
Service with a smile
buttoned up
Tucked
nipped at the whiskey
dripped in my cup
dripped in my cup
I wish some would shut up
while I wait for the up tick
Peep me on the outskirts
cause I’m outer like sputnik
like sputnik
Everything she wrote
could be a foot in the door
it’s not about where you are
but how you explore
but how you explore
it’s not about
where you are
but how you explore….

Meta Forage

Forgot about the paper
forgot about the letters
forgot about the mouth now
what falls must fester
is it all for the better or
all in the mirk
the calls coming in so I’m
comfortably berzerk-er
revert reasons for the eve’s end
that never quite added
to the cash and the flash that
could capture the average
AT it to adapt
and they actually had it
but the savages reacted and the
rats couldn’t back it
so it’s blade in the spine
with a wave and a handshake
saving for a time
when that maze is a pancake
I’d wade in the brine
but those lines are too damn fake
raiding my mind
for a sign of that ham shank
meat on a beat or its fickle
captains seated on the streets
sailing ships on piss trickles
if I had a nickle for the missiles
that were really limp pickles
I’d have a fist full of spittle
and no sips to wet my whistle
hey little doggy
got a tooth you can spare?
open mouth none come out
oddly their gums are bare
wonder where they went
underwear no Clark Kent
cause their garments look the part
but not their apartments
Exploration for a formant

Forelived mortgage

Coordinate shortage

Evidence of this body
In a concrete forest
Sprocket locked
Fixed in the grove
Rocket shot
Aiming at the moon
Socket shock
Watch your fingers with this dude
Aqua socks
Fluid in these shoes

Bubble gum
Halter top
Gut divulgin'
So call yer pops
Tell him beta rocked the caldron
Cause your daddy's got to know
When someone's challenging the sultan
Princess
Your crown is crude
Ingest
Gulp my clownin for a few
Interest
Until I get to that tomb
Invest
Cause no chest is bullet proof
Treasure trove
Precious mettle
The pressure grows
Let it settle
Headed for the rocks below
Pumpin on the pedals
Measure when to exit
Retro rebel so it's
Credit due trek...
Investor... plus a
Check a one two
To my bill collectors
If I had a level
I’d settle out this scene
But I’ve only got a kettle so I’m
just letting off steam

True Color
03:00
|

A purple heart bleeds
stirin’ deeds from the soul
These words are a fire
with a burnt orange glow
Intention is spying
above from the blue
A dove wing on a prayer
with the whitest of hues
I’m an evening at the table
with mignon on filet
pink in the middle sippin’
aged cabernet
5 stars they are seven
if you care to inspect my
grey rocked on that beta
like the gold on my neck
That crimson true got me
powder blue tangled so I’m a
Pin stripe suit
with a crisp new Kangol
Clean off the lot
no dust no dents
housing velveteen thoughts
with that white picket fence
As green tinted windows
change shade with the moods
I’m on that sunset glow
Over fields of chartreuse
Fuchsia like an orchid
My true colors will shine for evermore kid
True colors ….. Can’t ever be distorted
True color
Of that there is no other
Thinking true
Pink n blue
Inking sunset suppers
True color
Versatile like butter
the palate is the rudder
When the callouses uncover
Golden soul
Never black hearted
Cucumber Cool
You can burn dark red and while that
Fiery fury defiles
Light lemon joys
My blank mind purifies
lies and white noise
On back streets with black sheep
That’s where greener grains grow
The blueprint is complete
time to heave up that rainbow
I’m a honey blonde tele
like the axe that I play
Birdseye maple
With the pearl inlay
Grayed into this role like
An old pair of boots
Dues saved from my chips
No gold parachute
Got the green light to be nice
On these types of beats sliced
Bleed the spice life
A sapphire salmon reprise
Not born to the purple
Yet living in the black
Tickled pink by the hurdles
Never raise a white flag
Bright like canary yellow
My commentary is my very mellow
True Color…. Of that I’ll never let go
True color
Of that there is no other
Thinking true
Pink n blue
Inking sunset suppers
True color
Versatile like butter
the palate is the rudder
When the callouses uncover

Yellow, Orange, Red
01:30

Given an easel
and an arms length
I forged an armistice
with the alarms raised
as harms way
paved rosy pathways
I’d trade the farm
to get back to that yarn’s state
spoolin
cast away
floating on this raft today
as tomorrow's mast sways
to encapsulate that phase
that is a matchstick
poised on the striker
as the batshit deploys
from the void of the viper
will it burn?
yellow, orange, red
filled with earned mellow dias
and the bored hands shed
exorbitant insubordinance
like fuck your ordered tints
my rainbow looks plain though
the subtleties
befuddled me at the start
the flames thrown
set the pain aglow
and the puddled grief
conceived the jumbled art
but is it disarray?
or just a display of this day and age
whisked away with the refrain
and the stain of the page
same ol same terrain
but different frames
portray new views
to break the chains
And fade to gray
What I save today
becomes tomorrow
On time borrowed
Mind designed to don the cargo
cause it's far to go like
Bermuda, Bahama, Key Largo
