For Her 03:33
You and I got the keys...to make this life work You and I got relief...for when this life hurts You and I got the keys...to living right girl Let's you and I make a right world Me and mine chilling on the couch Making life work, Held down not up, Living right first Work to quench her life's thirst Make her brain pop make her sight burst She smiles when my names dropped (she knows) Our rainy Sunday Could counter any some day Fantasy of one day We could challenge thum days We could put our talents Into one babe Soon to have a son, To teach a thing or two About the way that love tastes I hope your smiles passed down And your brain too And the way you question Anything the sane do I know we'll always teach him Never be the same dude Seek to find a truth To really make your name you It's the real thing The type you teach children The type you try to build with Not that run of mill wish Nothing about this usual and Nothing here to fill in It's you, I and him (chorus) You and I, got the keys to make this life work You and I, got relief for when this life hurts You and I, got the keys to living right girl Let's you and I make a right world You got the realest sense life Since I met you I ain't thinking twice I just know I'm thinking clear and thinking right I'm thinking you and I Don't think for two we think for thrice I thought you once my love I always think you now my wife Our multiplicity could benefit The world over I mean that honestly Our spawn could be a world molder Me? I'm just thrilled to hold him I'm just thrilled to trade these chips in For family upon my shoulders The chips had weighed a ton And now I'm six feet off the ground Moving lighter than the wind Prepared to be your truest soldier And in case I never told you I didn't know what living was before life had granted me the chance to hold ya And now we graduated You and I picked to grow a guy I mean a man, I mean The newest apple of your eye And I can make a vow to hold my post for the two I love the most Forever being by your side (chorus) You and I, got the keys to make this life work You and I, got relief for when this life hurts You and I, got the keys to living right girl Let's you and I make a right world (repeat)

Miles Davis 04:02
You gotta be you man It's true man Cause you're the best human For you Nobody else can fill your shoes Nobody else can write your blueprint If they try, they're a nusence Get rid of em Find new friends to choose Keep those around that Be down for common causes That got flaws And know what a real life law is The type that know truth Comes from life's rawness That don't see categorized people But see broadness The wrong people shackle you Of your promise The wrong people drain you Of your fondness The wrong people are lame That's honest You should never be ashamed of a thing That's their problem You were made of things Greater than most Your Mom and I made you As a toast A toast to the Life we live and proudly we boast It ain't easy It took efforts and copious notes, but yo We had to filter through The do's and the don'ts Decide for us the Yes, no's, maybe's and won'ts You were a yes From the moment we spoke And everything after Was simply out of passion and hope, but yo (chorus) They don't get you? Then bump Miles Davis They won't let you? Then bump Miles Davis They forget you? Then bump Miles Davis Days brought to you by Miles Davis Thoughts about you from those that aren't you are not true Take em, crumble them up And then "pooof" Know that they for nothing of you That the choose They believe different than their just Victims of their ruse They got opinions here hidden as truths And their opinions you be bidding ado Show em the door with the heel of your shoe Because they're wack and they got nothing to do (cool?) Keep your focus on the things That make your heart pulse That make your eyes glow And your mind artful Cause outta all the things I've learned this far Far and away the most important is Finding love through art It was the key into your mother's heart The key to what brought you to be The love of ours And what brought life to me In all its parts Gave me the right to breath And haul this heart (chorus) They don't get you? Then bump Miles Davis They won't let you? Then bump Miles Davis They forget you? Then bump Miles Davis Days brought to you by Miles Davis Don't do so cause they said so Do so cause you know That what you do Is for you though And honest to what you know Of who you are And will be Cause who you are is What thrills me No substitutes no fillings Just organically you Keep your head And your eyes peeled Heart open through the minefield Life's rigged to define feelings That you determine for you The unlucky live in lew Cause comfort hides the truth So live honestly and uncomfortably As you

You ain't a million miles away You ain't alone upon in a plane You ain't alone, not a minute, Not an hour, not a day Not if the sun's late rising You're my son, you're my eyes And you're a vision in a dream Here, sent in my disguise Not gonna lie That's the coolest thing I ever wrote Cause I ain't being clever I'm just sayin, it's whatever though Whatever life throws at you I'll be down to roll, granted I got you Like no soul upon the planet does Man, this love You ain't gonna miss love You ain't ever gotta want With this love You're platooned up Your back is backed with backs That could handle the duty To Earth back on its axis I promise Ever bit here is a fact Hence my impetus To put it to wax This is bigger than my vision can hack So, figured Why not we just live it on tracks, like this, it goes (chorus) I got your back now, you ain't gotta back down Roam alone, be a clone, play the background I got your back now, you ain't gotta back down From the womb to the tomb, to the flat ground I wish my vocabulary Extended a bit deeper To better express the depth For why I'm breathing To better express The wreck that they'll be seeing (A thousand hairs to your one) That's breaking 'em off even Any afternoon, day break or evening I'll carry the weight The tourniquet to your bleeding The brick wall That's surrounding your compound I'll be all I can be for the two You and you're mom now You ain't ever by yourself You ain't ever on your own Even when you're grown I'm in toe, picking any bones I ain't ever losing sight So you ain't ever losing pride Together we're two dudes With one life In stride Just two dudes Both humble and wise Don't fret a mistake You're my guy Doesn't matter what the crisis Or run in Just flash that signal You can trust that I'm coming (chorus) I got your back now, you ain't gotta back down Roam alone, be a clone, play the background I got your back now, you ain't gotta back down From the womb to the tomb, to the flat ground

Upon A Star 03:00
I wish you wins and loses Joy amid the process I wish you sight to see The light through dim objects I hope you find your own emotion I hope you stay off from the fray To find the message from commotion It ain't always your first notion I wish you the ability to stay Omnisciently noting Cause man, people say the darnedest things And if you take em at their word You'll find your banished from hoping for dreams It's never really Quite what it seems I wish energy to find Where it connects at the seams Cause the fabric sets The tone for the beings And understanding that's The knowledge most spiritually freeing (And may the looooord help em) But leave him the ability to find His own ethics and meanings otherwise what's the purpose of breeding I wish you the ability to Understanding what you're reading I mean really, I hope there's nothing impeding That all wires lead to the top To give life through their feeding (Truth is) If it pumps you're succeeding Cause we're sweating and bleeding For wishes that we believe in (chorus) I use to wish upon a star what I wish upon you now More than ever I just wish it'd come true now I'll leave this wish here in a booth I hope to prove what good wishing can do I wish you nothing but Them baby blue skies, and cool nights Where things don't go as planned But they go right I wish you a partner in crime And the low light I wish you infinite time To get to know life I wish you strength And instincts to guide yo might And that your spirit, mind, soul All grow right I wish you evenings that dawn With peace Mornings that rise with a vigor Of desire to love and seek I wish you vision from Valleys to peaks There's no tally to keep But always rally in heat Cause the world can't Keep you down That's why you're crowned As the best damn thing that I could ever have found I ain't nervous, Ii don't sweat it I'm just honored and proud Any forum, any stage And I'ma say it out loud Your feet won't fail you now I wish you strength as you stand tall Never try to follow the crowd Never stop to bother with cowards Keep your mind on being you And you'll find infinite power Keep your mind on being you And silence all of the doubt I dish is out Just so you know what I'm wishing about (chorus) I use to wish upon a star what I wish upon you now More than ever I just wish it'd come true now I'll leave this wish here in a booth I hope to prove what good wishing can do This is what I wish This what I wanna see This is where the fine line Mixes with the minds tea If you disagree cool Please don't mind me I'm just wishing you a journey That was wished upon me Not a journey that's completely grind free But a journey of the mind unconditionally Like a traditional G Three piece class with a crease Soul right living Extra strength to the knees

In Closing 03:05
I'm sorry it ain't perfect Or far from To be honest the fear Often trumps over the fun The lumps leave most cut up Sputtered and undone But I vow I will teach you how And how come Don't let life just step To your one You battle and fight by what's right And what's love That's your battle flag, fatigues, And your guns It's your belief, your tatted sleeves And your blood And homie, you don't shed nothing For none They come looking, you meet em You leave em set to the sun With regrets, like years of cigarettes To the lungs You got the song in your soul This world is needing it sung It ain't far fetched It's far-flung Not far from God's ears But far from their tongue They ain't bringing it fair Brining what they've brung And they ain't ringing no bells That you ain't letting be rung So son Don't follow no crew and get strung Be proof, be power, be present Be young, that's love You gotta keep your wits about ya These kids'll out ya They'll call you things that you believe That they shouldn't even think about ya and how comes The next question Settle for less stress And abort any illness of intention Two faced crooks Of your time and your tension Known only as Those aforementioned They get no name A name's earned It's established through actions and verbs You got a right to be heard But fear is a particular word With stock based in your internal concern So grip that Cause it fades when you reemerge And realize that you ain't dead And no, that shit ain't hurt Shoulders back, head high Ain't living just to get by Perusing the alley for a gally You can get by True best buy The one you thrive make smile And die a little anytime That you neglect and let cry The one blowin' on the dice That you bet by So stay focused on the force Young Jedi Sleep is optional Life's a red eye Stay loyal to your head And kind to those for which its fed by
