lyrics

Sankofa

Wake up in the morning with the yearning for words
With no liveness getting channeled, so I sit in this turn
A broken man considering worth, working penmanship
But the ink isn’t ship shaped, it sinks and then it drifts
Down to the bottom with my hopes and dreams
Sound is forgotten and my scope careens
I think of all the times my inspiration never faded
All it serves to do is torment me, grim deflated
In a state of every word I want to use, I did before
Innovative heavy dirge piranha chews a bitter score
And I’m keeping track along with trains of thought that don’t run
In it for the joy, but now the point of this is no fun
The harder I try, the more it escapes
Forcing unfortunate ways morbid mistakes
Turning phrases but the rack and pinion breaks
Before I ever get around that corner, great

So baby come back
With that vision I'm missing u
When the drum tracks
Hitting then it gets written to
And they want that
The ones who's listenin and wishing for truth
So come back, baby come back


Seron

Riding down rider’s block
no stop sign, and if you’d find one you’d probably write it down
that’s a pretty unpretty circular movement/ cruising through a city of U-turns - constantly taking you back to where you’ve been
but you need to get off that track
take a walk off-road and watch those flows slowly come back
because words are like water- you can’t really grab them
rather you get enfolded by the phenomenon you trying to gather
so if you find a detour - might as well enter
like that time I pulled over at this recycling center
and those shelves held a jazz collection
next thing you’d have Satchmo teaching a rapper lessons
there’s an intricate transcendence to words/ sometimes, only at distance do you catch glance of it
and if you looking for words to drop yo hiphop
sometimes you have to turn it off and listen to bee-bop

So baby come back
With that vision I'm missing u
When the drum tracks
Hitting then it gets written to
And they want that
The ones who's listenin and wishing for truth
So come back, baby come back


JON?DOE

So baby come back
With that vision I'm missing u
When the drum tracks
Hitting then it gets written to
And they want that
The ones who's listenin and wishing for truth
So come back, baby come back


It's been way too long since I made a song
Got me sitting here feeling like my baby's gone
Quit playing with JON's emotions, our bonds devotion
I need her locomotion rockin' tracks and stage for throngs
I'm just hoping she returns as the beat loops
These other tokens don't discern in their cheap suits
See they ain't never felt the yearn or the passion as it burns
Her immaculate concern bearin' these fruits
For now the blank page telling me to go fish
Misplacin the inspiration for creation of the dope ish
Just outta my reach us where the quote sits
Got me trynna find a line like I been pinin for my old chick
to reach their destination some just wander the path
I shed tears for the years of time squandered then laugh
And I'd be fine if Rhymes just spawned in a flash
But tell the truth just to write this took a month and a half
So baby come back
