Hell pt. 2

(from the rockso (urban calypso)/hip hop album, "Farewell to the Flesh")

You hafta watch your step in these streets we roam
'Cuz one word from your lips could shatter your nose bone
Sharp dons can spot cops who's on patrol
Lookin' for potential johns of hoes on the stroll
And if you think a few g's ain't worth your soul
Cats for that kinda cheese'll take out whole area codes
And when clips unload, the body count is totalled
And the only survivors are the lifers down in Riker's
This strife with us, rife with just hatred for ourselves
This hell incitin' the wrong man's delight don't sit right with us
The sun is shining, the streets are cooking
Kids are playing while the bookies are booking and hookers are hooking
The goal is to see the rays of another day
But when you're borrowing time, you must ensure that crime does pay
How can we make something when we ain't have nothing?
So our political sound bites is the sound of rounds busting
The town's bustling with news
top cityline story
Paper's rustling -- new crews on the block out for glory
Overseas immigrants
So more gunplay is immenent
So the do-or-die stance remains part-decadent, part militant
We have to find means to trump the New World Order
We have to find means to trump the New World Order
We have to find means to trump the New World Order
That return to our African glory seems so distant
But let's figure out a plan
We're not just n*ggers in this land ...

Justified (Out Like Dat)

(from upcoming Rock&B album, "The Crush")

verse 1:
All the time we set our fires lying in our bed of roses
You didn't have the nerve to tell me
You'd be out like dat
In the morning

And all the times I made you cry the same as I
I guess you were justified, darling
Still -- your phone calls stain my memory
'Cuz you broke our pact without warning

You couldn't open your mouth to speak
While I'd been telling you all damn week
How I want you to be my wife
Treat you like a queen for all your life

Oooh, it's a quiet storm
That's how I feel inside
Now I have wounds
That bleed in me
Waaaaay beyond my pride ...

chorus: Now it's
Justified ... I guess you were
Justified ... but it's just devastating me,
That's all

Justified ... I guess you were
Justified ... but it's just devastating me,
That's all

verse 2:
Thinking back on the things we did
We sought and hid
Shoot, we were only kids
I'm gonna have to beg your pardon
But you planted seeds in my garden

We'd been shored up in denial since
Now we're holed up in silence
Why'd you have to go?
Could you just not take this no mo' (no mo')? ...

It hurts to breathe, but I don't care
There's vapours of you everywhere
Save my life
Don't crumble my poor heart twice

Flames are getting higher
Any more, we might explode
Can we be what we used to be?
Or is it too soon to know? --- hey! ...

chorus:
Justified ... I guess you were
Justified ... but it's just devastating me,
That's all

Justified ... I guess you were
Justified ... but it's just devastating me,
That's all

[horn solo]

Somewhere 'neath the soot and dust
A palace stands for both of us
Where our trust was based
Somewhere that we've misplaced

Flames are gettin' higher
And we both draw near
I see you on the horizon
Where do we go from here? (yeah! ...)

chorus:
Justified ... I guess you were
Justified ... but it's just devastating me,
That's all

Justified ... I guess you were
Justified ... but it's just devastating me,
That's all

You were my life, my sweatheart, girl
My air, my sun, my golden pearl
What good is wasting time we borrowed
And risk losing the entire world?
Maybe one day we'll see the light above
We'll argue, talk, smile, then make love
We'll see from our souls, there's no place to hide
And we'll see that our passion is justified
Justified ....

Do Or Die

(from the upcoming Rock&B album, "The Crush")

verse 1:
It’s late at night
I’m working the street
Suddenly a shot rings out
But it’s got nothin’ to do with me

They pick me up for grand larceny
Then they decide to pin the murder on me
Wrong place wrong time and very convenient
And it’s a pipe dream the judge will be lenient
I did my dirt sonny had to eat
And I wasn’t overt, I tried to be discreet
We were on the edge, I hope you understand
Had to be a man, had to do it for my fam …

Visiting time
An hour with my wife
My crew says we gon’ get you out soon
The D.A.`s saying 25 to life

And all my years seem fading away
All before they even start
And it kills me to see you crying
Tears from your heart
All I can say is …

Chorus:
I know I *bleep*ed up, baby
(mmm mmm mmm) That ain’t a lie
But I did what I had to
It’s do or die (yeah yeah yeah)

I know I *bleep*ed up, baby
(mmm mmm mmm) No word of a lie
But I did what I had to
It’s do or die (yeah yeah yeah)

verse 2:
I’m trying to sleep
But I’ve got to keep
One eye open and one eye closed
With memories I just can’t delete

There ain’t no use in trying to ask God why
You took a chance to live, someday you’ve gotta die
I went out a soldier, at least I tried
Girl, forget about me – find another guy

Don’t want you to wait all along
These iron bars are much too strong
I’ll be praying for you and
That little boy in your arms
Listen when I tell you …

Chorus:
I know I *bleep*ed up, baby
(mmm mmm mmm) That ain’t a lie
But I did what I had to
It’s do or die (yeah yeah yeah)

I know I *bleep*ed up, baby
(mmm mmm mmm) No word of a lie
But I did what I had to
It’s do or die (yeah yeah yeah)
It’s do or die

[guitar solo bridge]

Please do one thing no matter what
Tell little man here as he’s growing up
To make his own choices, ain’t no free ride
Just don’t end up here on the other side

I’m sorry, this visit’s through
And I won’t be calling you
I wanna see a smile on your face
Next time you pass through my memories …
Good Lord, you gotta believe that …

Chorus:
I know I *bleep*ed up, baby
(mmm mmm mmm) That ain’t a lie
But I did what I had to
It’s do or die (yeah yeah yeah)

I know I *bleep*ed up, baby
(mmm mmm mmm) But you know I had to try
But I did what I had to
It’s do or die (yeah yeah yeah)
It’s do or die.

Tobago Breeze

(from the upcoming Rock&B album, "The Crush")

We were under a Tobago breeze
When you told me about your re-birth
You couldn’t see us both here for long
And you wanted to say it first

Baby girl, we’ve been weathering things
We haven’t tried to talk it through
And now you try to speak my mind for me
Underneath these skies so blue
Is that the best that you can do?
Talk to me now …

chorus:
Everybody’s lovelife has some problems, baby
But there’s no need in the world to drive each other crazy
You know I’m your man and that you’re my lady
Don’t you?

Everybody’s scared of being hurt now, baby
And I know that we’ve been careful with each other lately
You want to open up, c’mon and say what’s on your mind
Won’t you?

You told me once how heart and soul had died
Once he put his fists on your face
And the costs were astronomical
It ain’t cheap trying to win a case

I know that your heart is wary now
The second love seems to start anew
But you’re a tiger, come get what you want
Instead of trying to start a feud
Is that the best that you can do?
Talk to me now …

chorus:
Everybody’s lovelife has some problems, baby
But there’s no need in the world to drive each other crazy
You know I’m your man and that you’re my lady
Don’t you?

Everybody’s scared of being hurt now, baby
And I know that we’ve been careful with each other lately
You want to open up, c’mon and say what’s on your mind
Won’t you?

Girl, I’m willing to take it slow
Don’t feel you have to rush your love
I’m willing and able to give what you need
Ressurect your faith in trust
It’s all about us, baby …

If it means we gon’ be distant, baby
Then that’s the way that it’s gonna be
But if you ever need a shelter from the storm
You can always rely on me

I know we always act stubborn
But at least let`s put out the fuse
You know that you have a fire in me
The way I`ve got a flame in you
Remember how our inferno grew?
C`mon, babe -- let`s do it again ...

chorus:
Everybody’s lovelife has some problems, baby
But there’s no need in the world to drive each other crazy
You know I’m your man and that you’re my lady
Don’t you?

Everybody’s scared of being hurt now, baby
And I know that we’ve been careful with each other lately
You want to open up, c’mon and say what’s on your mind
Won’t you?

end.

Arms Around The World

*dedicated to single mothers*
(from the Rock&B album, "The Crush")

You lie there breathing slowly with your
Arms around the world
And no-one sees the pain you’re in

You drive your angel to the school
And watch his shell unfurl
Was it only yesterday you gave birth to him ...

Whoa-oa
Oh-oh
Do you know we idolize
But can’t comprehend the way you –
(Oh-oh
Whoa-oa-oa)
Raise the world atom by atom
And still have the strength to smile

After all
We’re all children of the One
Raise your face, let me kiss your lips
A woman’s work
A woman’s work is never done
Still, you decimate mere men
By just the sway of your hips ...

Whoa-oa
Ohhh-oh-oh
Do you know you captivate
Us, resuscitate us with your fortune? And
(whoa-oa
oh-ohhh-oh)
Can’t believe you’re not just
A figment of imagination, and
(whoa-oa
oh-ohhh-oh)
Do you know how much
Do you know how much
We love you?

Sanctify*

(*for movie soundtrack, "City of Lights")

verse 1:
It’s like 11:13
Neither one of us could get to sleep
I got a meeting by the border
One chance to make this thing complete

So I rub on your shoulder
You can’t put it out of your head
I have to be strong enough for us
C’mon, babe – fold the sheets (“check”)

Bring an extra pillow
Do we have enough to eat?
This is a crucial journey for us
Time’s up – time to herd the sheep

He said he had a deal for us
I dissented – God, I hope I’m right
You say “Honey, keep focused”
I am – eyes on the sparrow for our journey tonight

Chorus:
Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine.”
“I need a second to think here …”

verse 2:
He’s a real smooth operator
Sade never sang no lie
I had a dead-man’s option
Man up, or in a ditch I’d die

You said you’d never let that happen
Circumstance, I thought I`d take that chance
But he threatened my baby
So, the Devil’s solo on that dance

I had a real cute notion
Something that puts joker’s wild
It was[whisper whisper whisper]
You said, “Honey, that’s why your soul is mine …”

Chorus:
Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine.”
“I need a second to think here …”

verse 3:
In the middle of the night
We made the scheduled drop
Not a vulture above
Not a siren by the cops

I made a visual gesture
The night swarmed in like wolves
It pays to be observant
I think that Satan’s card was pulled

Other than an imprint in me
The result of a paranoid man’s whim
It’s pacific as a lamb
Karma backtracks and befalls him

Now we’re driving towards the ocean
Horizon far as the eye can see
As we reach past the border, I say
“Baby, thank God you believed in me…”

Chorus:
Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine...”

Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine.”
"Let`s get the heck outta here ..."

Hell Pt. 1

(from the upcoming rockso/calypso album "Farewell to the Flesh")

Let's raise a glass for our fallen
And say a solemn prayer
That when God called 'em
He has his eyes forevermore on 'em
Small consolation for
Mama's bawlin'
Flip the page, new day, a new episode of street brawlin'
Where the streets we call home is prone to violence
Baby mama escalation only serves to maintain the balance
Our boy came home after arraignment
Tryna *snif* celebrate
But got lifted off his feet by two fleeing unknown assailants
Witnesses ain't sayin' (nothin')
Police are baffled
Random homicide like his number was pulled from the raffle
The streets burn like Snap!, Crackle! and Pop!
Serial (cereal) killin'
They raised a murial in yo
Name, but once the grieving has passed
A requiem to pain
Nobody's gassed 'cause next day, it's all the same
We laid him down in a casket that's wood-grained
And threw his jewels in it
Saying, 'some fool's gon' get it'
We got crews of youths not old enough to drive
But damn sure know how to weild tools
And drink Colt 45s
And work those scales that's tipped against their favor
Reheating beef on the street
That's hard for them not to savour ...

our first morning

*spoken word over music*

as the morning rays light up our morning, sublime,
bathing us through our ajar window blinds,
they illuminate the blessing that I found in you,
as you lie there, dancing in dreams formed anew.
your skin more delicate than our satin sheets,
your hair, a river that flows over perfect cheeks,
rendering a mere mortal man like myself weak
scribes would find you far too beguiling to speak.
your soft breaths like music; your curves, balletic
new flows of passion, gazing at your body poetic.
but these words alone cannot escape my lips
how can I fully express a moment like this?
so, instead, I kiss your forehead, lost in bliss,
transfixed, fully bewitched by the vision that is you
my passion is true; I stare for a long while
as you awaken to my slow caress, you smile.
I smile back all this, saying what words lack.
our love surpasses words, yet we`re ever knowing
where our hearts lie forever, in our first morning,
together.

My Skin As Your Blanket

(on both the Rock&B album "The Crush", and on the R&B album, "Mutual")

verse 1:
when you look
at my fingers
tell me ... what do you see?

do you see the hands that will grasp you till the end?
do you see the loving embrace
of a lover and friend?
or do you only see the holding
empty promises and dreams?
but oh girl, you ought to know
that that's not what their trembling means ...

i yearn at day
and work long at night
and pray to God each second
with every bit of my might
that i can somehow give you all
you would ever want or have to have
and eliminate all of the pain
the crush of this world brings on you
and return to making you laugh ...

chorus:
my skin as your blanket is all we need
to keep us strong indeed
and if you'd keep me in
i swear to you, i'd die
to always keep you warm
and safe from all the storms
don't listen to the weatherman
he just don't know a damn
and don't worry 'bout a thing, for time
has a way of making even a day that's grey
turn blue with
the gentle rain of you ...

verse 2:
as we lie
under the twilight
shining down
on all the things
i know we could be

don't turn your face away
let it glow
don't shut our curtains and our shades
and blind our window
just because we have our arguments
doesn't mean i just don't care
you are my star, my shining star
the one page in my book
i couldn't bear to tear ...

chorus:
my skin as your blanket is all we need
to keep us strong indeed
and if you'd keep me in
i swear to you, i'd die
to always keep you warm
and safe from all the storms
don't listen to the weatherman
he just don't know a damn
and don't worry 'bout a thing, for time
has a way of making even a day that's grey
turn blue with
the gentle rain of you ...

and as we weigh our options, which is worse?
to struggle or not to try?
you're allowed to act a little crazy
i'm allowed to hold my head and cry
in this world, there's only right and wrong
but what about the give and take?
we're so silly when we quarrel
let's start the night again
with the love that only we could make ...

chorus:
my skin as your blanket is all we need
to keep us strong indeed
and if you'd keep me in
i swear to you, i'd die
to always keep you warm
and safe from all the storms
don't listen to the weatherman
he just don't know a damn
and don't worry 'bout a thing, for time
has a way of making even a day that's grey
turn blue with
the gentle rain ...

my skin as your blanket is all we need
to keep us strong indeed (oh, baby it'd hurt so bad)
and if you'd keep me in (if you don't come back)
i swear to you, i'd die (to bed with me, girl)
to always keep you warm (it's alright)
and safe from all the storms (come back home)
don't listen to the weatherman (yeah, that feels good)
he just don't know a damn
and don't worry 'bout a thing, for time
has a way of making even a day that's grey
turn blue with
the gentle rain of you ...
yeah.

Played In The Past

(from the upcoming R&B album, "Mutual")

You passed me a glance before you left
Since talking would just make us upset
And we never sought to disagree
The language just stopped inside of me

To express the way your winter felt
Just dying somehow to make it melt
Maybe I blue-skied far too long
And maybe my timing was all wrong

And it don't take much to reminisce
On paradise lost sealed with a kiss
Does forever know how long it lasts?
But that part's been all played in the past

It's cool how we chanced enough to bathe
Under small clouds that rained on our parade
And I admit, sometimes, I smile as soon
As our ghosts start wailing inside our room

For thunder to break, fate must explore
Yeah, I think I've heard that all before
Your perfume's still on my FUBU shirt
And it's just strong enough to hurt

Call me a fool, but I believe
There's good in being a bit naive
If it meant a day that you would laugh
But that part's been all played in the past

[spanish guitar; violins]

I'm a man of conviction
And I know my crimes
But we all could use redemption
Can you give me mine
This time? ...

If pictures are worth a thousand words
Why can't I speak each March 23rd
When gazing at snapshots of us two?
But then again, what can I do?

A penny for thoughts of lessons learns
From notes marked "To Whom It May Concern"
Somehow, you sent them to 'a friend'
I just won't see words the same again

Some day
I'll find a way
To let a little of my soul go
'Cuz when it burns, baby
It burns fast
And my eyes are blinded by the flash

Call me a fool, but I believe
There's good in being a bit naive
Does forever know how long it lasts?
How long will this act play in the past?

*static interlude*

(from the 'rockso' (urban calypso) album, "Farewell To The Flesh")

Sh*t ain`t a game
I vociferously ignite and char your brain
Like a shot of octane
Cooked with magnesium and cocaine
What`s your inner crook sayin`?
Lay him to waste?
Nada
I`ll define your last supper
Brotha
C`mere and take a taste
Doper than a foul Olympian
Study your Corinthians
I take pleasure in your weakness
Ya seek this
Incredible kinetic linguistic flip
Pitch yo pitch
You came as a pitbull, now ya leavin` like a b*tch
Once again, you`ve been `hood-winked
You bet funny money, I took everything from you `cept the kitchen sink
Peep the lesson:
What`s less pain than to contest me?
No agony
Inhale your own Smith and Wesson
Pow ...

nothing i can tell you

what if i said

that i wished
for us to be together ?
but it`s nothing i can tell you
but it`s nothing i can tell you...

what if I said
just for tonight
i want us to be the only two in this world
but it`s nothing i can tell you
but it`s nothing i can tell you

for if i were to speak all the words  i`d say
they'd just be inadequate (irrelevant) and get in the way
of how much I really love you
and how much i do adore you
so let`s push back the verbal masquerade ...

so i`ll just smile
and kiss your lips
lay you down and make you feel my love, oh
but it`s nothing i can tell you
but it`s nothing i can tell you (I just want to see you smile)
but it`s nothing i can tell you
there`s nothing i want to say
for a while ...

Roses

(from the R&B album, "Mutual") *piano and violins only*

Standing outside in the rain
Over my heart, deep clouds of pain
Can't think straight to save my life
As I stare at your porch light

It's been a midnight way too long
I should have done this all along
I needed time to think things through
But never thought I might lose you

And my heart is urging me to ring your bell
But my better sense is telling me that it's late as hell
And those words we stabbed in each other
Still haven't healed
Wonder if you're up late too
I wonder if it's pouring inside too

You've heard me say what I want to say before
In loving and in anger
Probably a million times or more
And somehow it's become a show
In which you know the encore
We end up in each others' arms again
Or me walking out the door

But tonight could be the end
I just want to say again
Please, baby, look into my eyes
Let's get through the distrust and lies
Please feel my heart, you know I'm true
I simply can't live without you
My soul, a part of me that I
Can't see another day without -- try
To see inside my spirit
It's not the same without you in it
Let's listen to what's in our hearts
God, let's not tear us apart
Please tell me what you want to say
There's too much here to throw away
The truth that I won't bother deny:
I just can't bear to say goodbye ...

Soaking in the wind outside
Holding these flowers,
The only thing my sore heart knows is
There's much more in my hand
Than simply roses
Roses
I'm giving you much more
Than simply
Roses.

When I’m Gone

(from the rock&B album, "The Crush")

Where have all the heroes gone?
With all their exploits honoured in songs?
My friend Vic still remembers Vietnam

As if it were yesterday
He went down and it took him away
His eyes speak more than any words could say

Wonder if my lifetime, too,
Will archive my point of view
Will our children salute me too?

Some say a man’s valor is weighed
By the choices he’s made today
In Flanders’ Fields, there’s a mist over each grave …

Chorus:
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone
At least my memory stays …

Salute to the flag outside
Blasphemous to lose your pride
Policy says democracy’s at stake

Pressure’s on to be wise
Your granddad served, now he’s 95
Man alive, tradition’s just implied

Ticking clocks and hand grenades
Some will suffer, some will fade
Night falls, and Baghdad’s ablaze

Far away, in a white highrise
A wargame fan’s high off of his supply
When he snorted, did he picture his demise?

I wanna call Mom tonight
Remind her to turn off the porchlight
Please pray for me, let’s try to keep the mood bright …
Swear to God …

Chorus:
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone
Mommy, your son fought the good fight …
Fade screen …

Colored by rocket’s red glare
And bombs bursting in the air
The sky covers bravado and despair

It’s like a game of permanent tag
When you’re ‘it’, you’re put in a black bag
Some make art of their trophies like von Hagen

Minds are focused and blood diffused
‘Victory’ screams the local news on
On both sides – tell our people we will not lose

The big planes drop teddy bears
With parachutes, a gesture of repair on
Small children, ecstatic and scared
Wish you well …

I used to have a model boat
When I was 5, but it wouldn’t float
It had a hole about the size of an Uzi’s
Perfect shot …

Chorus:
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone
I used to love anything by Cobain
Now only migraines remain

Who argues the need for war?
If not, what the f*ck are we here for?
Quiet tonight, damn, Private Jones could snore

I miss the warm Trinidadian sun
My girlfriend’s sad, she just turned 21
Now I’m staring down the barrel of this gun
Seeing them come …

Chorus:
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone
I used to swim at the beach when it rained
Now only my shells remain

When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone fa-la-la-la
When I’m gone
Remember how I loved to paint
Now only my stain remains.
