The Right Way

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Through the entranceway to the end of days
We will ask ourselves “what is it all worth?”
And depending on who or what it is we praise
Our birth might be right, our life might be just
Our passing might be as peaceful as we imagined it
We must trust what we know to be true
Cause we can sense it and never doubt
Despite how intense it gets
The sensei mentioned it’s the journey not the destination
Do your own investigation, go on what clues you got
Do not stop til you crack the case, at the place you at
Unmask the face staring back from the looking glass
til it’s too late and disappears without a trace
cause as fate might have it you get a chance to grab it
and then it’s gone, so long, the fat lady’s singing her song
Hey
If you think you’re on the right way, on the right way
Hey
Walk it down, walk it down
We all walk down that road at least one time
Some of us are blessed enough to have a second line
Still others are forgotten when dead & left rottin’ instead, who lays flowers on the tombs of the unloved?
One chance to make your mark, no time to let your light go dark
Don’t start to let your flame fade ‘fore you get your name made
Who cares what you played for or who’s getting paid more if your soul ain’t getting prayed for?
Hey. If you think you’re on the right way, on the right way
Hey. Walk it down, walk it down
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Through the entranceway to the end of days
I ask myself “what is it all worth?”

Waiting All Night Long

It seems that I can’t get you off my mind
Never see you around must be my love is blind
They say that a good woman is hard to find
Would give everything I got but all I got is time
Too much if you ask me, don’t drive nothing flashy
Even the smart cars are likely to pass me
I like to go slow, but you seem to go slower
This relationship is flyin’ down the road to nowhere
I’m waiting all night long for you to come home
Nothing else in my head, you heard what I said
Can’t stand making no more unanswered calls
Can’t ask for a second if I don’t get a chance at all
You dance with all the guys save this one here
Cause whenever I ask you pretend you don’t hear
I’ve been dancing all I can, dance myself to tears
The only thing I fear is that the end is near
I been waiting all night, after waiting all day,
after waiting all week, now my will is weak

No Need

Here I stand with a fistful of Mojo in my hand
Doing anything I want, none of which was planned
Can the crap, clap hands, tom wait for no man
Goodie gum drops, Woody Guthrie making hip-hop for bikers
This land is your land from California to the Delta to Riker’s Island
Even if the sun ain’t shining, we might be smiling or freestyling, fuck it
3 cats in bucket just kicking it, happy as pigs in shit
wilding, trial and error
pick up the phone, keep dialing
you can call me “Al”, I will call you Paul
the bearer of the best news, test views, wreck crews
Ha-choo. Bless you and may the blessings keep coming
And they will if we still enough to sense them
And release all tension and need for attention
Oh, and did I mention
There ain’t no need in living if we ain’t living life
When shit gets unruly tell me what you truly need?
Lil’ water, lil’ sun, lil’ love from someone
How bad you gotta be greedy, give to the needy.
And express yourself son, no little kid graffiti
What’s up with these lines and forms?
I’m done standing on line to be filling out forms
That’s cause I’m not tryin’ to ressemble the norm
All I need I guess is shelter from the storm

Love Always
04:24

Life is what happens when we’re busy making other plans
Always distracted, when is it we stand still?
Still enough to fill ourselves with emptiness
We don’t make enough space for space itself, I guess.
But I’m done guessing, done stressing, messing around
The lessons I found on the ground as I walked alone
Along my path continue teaching me, my soul, reaching
My essence. I just have to go back to when I was a dozen years old
And ever after stop doing what I’m told
Be bold enough to know I got my own intuition,
My own vision how the world works
My own mission to make the outside and the inside vibe together
And watch it all come alive, be present forever
Never depart, no start, no ending, it’s Escher’s staircase
Or something cyclical and mathematical
The fractals are all magical
Some would make the case that it’s a miracle. I ask
What in life is not a miracle we’ve looked past
Cause it didn’t fit in with the story being told
Or the god-shaped souvenir (that was) being sold
But one can only feel glory in the depth of the soul
Not in the churches nor the mosques nor inside of the temples
Get out the madness being preached between your 2 temples
I met a physical being I stopped seeing when she left
I understood it as death but there was so much more
Wrapped within the breath, now I know what I met her for.
Never let a metaphor hide the divine, we don’t have time
Just a design to move beyond minds into a heartspace
Where we feel the love that makes all the hearts race
May they never stop…
Destroy all the clocks with rocks
I don’t need no second hand, I got something brand new
A room a view, an image of you and nothing to do
But meditate, levitate up to heaven’s gate
I on’t mind waiting, watch those taking the stairway
We each do it our way, they could do it their way
From the tea to the cup, no dwelling on the green
No traps, hazards or fairways in between
When we’re fairplay we always (gon’) come out on top.
When we feel the love that makes all the hearts race, may they never stop.
Love always gonna come out on top.
Love…always.
Show me how to feel the love
That’s all around

My Mojo

I got yours, I got mine, I got plenty of time
Got my heart and mind, a little light that shine
From my roots through the ceiling
I’m reeling and feeling fine,
Getting ready to climb, Tarzan on the vine,
Now I’m swinging from tree to tree
Believe me when I’m singing
Do my thing ‘n’ workin’ hard
Yes lawd, bring it back to the essence
In the presence of God
Dam don’t stop them muddy waters, no! let ‘em flow
Like mojo so they never stop,
Drop and roll, we on fire
On the bayou, we rap, rock ‘n’ roll
round the stones with no moss
never lost the roots, check (out)
the cowboy boots,
blues and black keys (got) so much soul
we don’t know where to start
save our heart of gold
fly into the future from the days of old
and cold work that mojo
Got my mojo working
but it just don't work on you
I’m a work it and work it hard, believe E
Make it work for you and me, you know we
Gotta do what we can to be best version
Of ourselves and stick it to the man
Who else… gonna take a stand if not thee
Gotta unblock the chakras, cause you can’t stop the qi
With all that prahna flowing properly
They could build walls, never gon’ stop us all
We gon’ flow through the forest, catching tigers by the toe
Eeny, meeny, miny kundalini in your hiney
Unrolling it while we rock, unwrapping it as I rap
like a burlap sack full of liberty caps
make it clap and snap back your kneecaps
believe dat, need feedback,
you see it, say it now, don’t even worry ‘bout how
it just be dat way and in abundance
Even oxen have got the blues like Paul Bunyan’s
Babe, check my big toes’ circumference
Grow roots that shoot to the stars
Til we feel that oneness, with the universe,
Snakes, snowflakes and fungus
Ain’t it wondrous?
Like Aphrodite in a sundress
Bringing heat to the tundras
I’m just getting’ warmed up
Mojo coming all the way to the top of my cup
til it’s spilling
