by the thousands it seemed
the sun gleamed
on the river with steam
a herd of babies
puppies, stubborn little ducklings
hello come back, i can’t help you if you leave
they all listened but one you see
i don’t know what it means
but to see such lively life in a dream
makes me smile, feels like the balance on a beam
im walking it, im almost falling but i make it seem
like i done it before
in my core
i know there’s more
i knew i was calling to God to settle score
i know blessings are coming to shore
i’m at the door
ready to open it or
maybe create a new one
levitate to a new one
breathe one
can’t get me down
i seen flowers everywhere
and yes that flower
here’s 20 dollar
thank you for the flower
in the middle of the ocean
don’t jump out of the car
sit tight sit tight
we have made it to the other side
impatient like Jose
even in the dream he’s in disbelief
he said no way
how did your face get so clean
it will never be confirmed how they schemed
i forgive them
i make amends
i know i start trends
i pushed myself & they pushed me down
a flower blooms from the dirt
not mid air, i rage like this life isn’t fair
but to compare
a struggle and a blissful life
the generations before did the time
keep your head high
soon enough it will be your time
steady on the grind
get up a ride
run to the wind
the flute within
love your kin
the child within
nurture others and you will nurture you
pain is so painful but truth is without it, you wouldn’t be you
God bless you and all the new
i hope you hold it well i hope you see it through
its a shock but a good life is now here for you
you can eat baby finally go ahead and chew
i know the feeling too
like they said it’s all for you
what can i do
thank you so very much
i don’t have a crew
i have a mental flute
that plays a melody only i can see
the reason that i breath
one day soon i’ll be out to sea
shooting my dream
i say di bad gyal on di road, we be zooming, we be bold.
