Regrets, I ain't perfect, tryin' to live
Mindfulness means many steps I'm having to give
Wait for a little, be there to see
hold me little things that I'm tryin' to be
In the heart
the soul
the soul
the way...

Who's putting me up for the night
I ain't walking all the way to Crooklyn
Nor to Brooklyn
And who's the one looking out to fight
Nothing to long for cause nothing ain't right
in Crooklyn
Nor in Brooklyn
Who's the one who's got attitude
Nothing to long for cause nothing to lose
Who's the one that you can't refuse
the boys and the women and the girls and the dudes
Of Crooklyn
Of Brooklyn
Of Crooklyn
Of Brooklyn
Who's putting me up for the night
I ain't walking all the way to Crooklyn
Nor to Brooklyn
Who's the one who's got attitude
Nothing to long for cause nothing to lose
Who's the one that you can't refuse
the boys and the women and the girls and the dudes
Of Crooklyn
Of Brooklyn
Of Crooklyn
Of Brooklyn
In the Summer
we go rooftop
Staring out across the waters
that separate the moneyed part of town

Try hard-
to raise yourself above mediocrity
Try hard-
to be everything that you can be
Try hard-
to realize all of your dreams
Try hard-
to be a blessing to humanity
Try hard-
there goes somebody that I wanna know
Try hard-
that lives somewhere that I wanna go
Try hard-
might not think like me but I still wanna know

Ain't Life Grand?

We're practiced in the art of deceit
Practicing so hard we're bas relief
When we wake up in the morning
we're assaulted by their warnings
We're practiced in the art of deceit
We're practiced and seduced
and mesmerized
Comatose induced disinfoed lines
When we reach through all our schooling
educated to their rulings
and the lines outside don't color outside
info lines
And to all of the kings and queens
we bow down on our knees
Do all of the simple things
confirming prophecies
and all of the simple folks
throughout all the land
sing hi dididdi
ain't life grand?
We're practiced in the irony that's dead
eating up rehearsed what's in our head
Can you say there's not enough?
ever live to get enough?
We're practiced in the irony that's dead
We're banging like we're convicts on parole
ever clanging all the things we can't control
We could use a little more stuff
but there never seems enough
We're practiced in the irony that's dead
We're banging all the things we can't control
And to all of the kings and queens
we bow down on our knees
Do all of the simple things
confirming prophecies
and all of the simple folks
throughout all the land
sing hi dididdi
ain't life grand?

Sure nuff life's so long
Get a little longer
but I'm tryin to be stronger
Sure nuff, sing this song
Can't do wrong
When you're living it strong
Sure nuff, bang this gong
Bringing it on
means you're gonna be stronger
Sure nuff, dusk to dawn
24-7 we be bringing it on
Pitch perfect on the middle way
or at least working at it
Pitch perfect on the middle way
and going strong
x2
Should I be somebody who does aspire
to just be somebody who burns with fire
Everyone should sing this song
sing this song
Sing along
Everyone should sing this song
cause everybody's something
I'm something
I'm something
You're something
We're something
How bout you now?
I'm something
You're something
We're something
how you do it?
Pitch perfect on the middle way
or at least working at it
Pitch perfect on the middle way
and going strong 2x
Should I be somebody who does aspire
to just be somebody who burns with fire

Change is coming
yes it's coming
Change is coming at last
Change is coming
yes its coming
Change is coming at last
You might say you disagree
but that's not up to you and me
We're all just small fish
in big deep universe
You might raise an objection
Citing some important connection
only one thing that's for certain
you're 6 feet of dirt
And all that you're worth is
what you leave behind you
Change can sure nuff do you good...

Turn it up!
Hands up and stretch your arms towards the skies
Come on, an opportunity arise
Oh my, I can't believe the things that I seen
Beauty in every sparkling suffering sea
We're all dancing kings and queens
Dance, let's all dance like we did before
Listen, you voice hearers sing
Put your hands together
raise 'em towards the heights
Come on everybody
Ceremonies of the sky
Cause we was
born to be happy
born to victory
and we was
born to be dancing
dancing kings and queens
Ceremonies of the sky
Peace, yo bhoddi's of the earth
Love with all that you are worth
Feel, through manifested words
Believe cause this is what I heard
We're all dancing queens
in ceremonies in the sky...

She's chasing after pipe dreams
through the candy colored clouds
It seems it might be the right thing to do
It's all she knows of anyhow
She's been inviting people over
to lay themselves on her floor
Its hard to do those things sober
when all she wants is many many more
She's setting eyes on the sun
while she practically becomes undone
waiting for anyone
to come down by her side
She got her arms wrapped around the sun
she could just go away with anyone
All it takes is an invitation
and here comes
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
He's alright by me
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
walking down by she
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
Holding out his hand
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
right now he's her man
Engraves her causes into photos
of all those thinks might her laugh
She change applause into quotas
to help her finally come to understand
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
He's alright by me
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
walking down by she
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
Holding out his hand
Mr Right Now
Mr Right Now
Mister
right now he's her man
Here comes Mr Right Now...

Well my children
I give you
some of me
but not enough of me
not enough of myself
And my children
I give you
some loving
but not enough loving
not enough of myself
I got a quilt of silt
I keep one assembling again
I got a fistful of ills
that resemble my thrills
Ain't it a wonder I got no friends
Sent me a pocket Valentine
Tell me how I feel
and drank some wine
Don't worry bout me baby
I'm doing fine
I don't need no sympathy
Well my children
I give you
some of me
but not enough of me
not enough of myself
And my children
I give you
some loving
but not enough loving
not enough of myself
Self loathing
and denying
Gave up
on all my crying
So ow
down inside
Nothing left but
save for the crying
Sorry, what a sorry
Sorry, sorry boy...

Them, Me & You

You know that some times
I feel so scared
that I might not,
make it through this life
in a way that I feel good about
My legs they get to shaking
as I stand
before you all
and tell you
of how I feel
That is if you don't mind
Because
to many years I have been waiting
to do what my body and mind say to do
alone in a corner, sick and afraid about
all that is thought by them, me, & you
o many years I have been waiting
to do what my body and mind say to do
alone in a corner, sick and afraid about
all that is thought by them, me, & you
Woooow
Woow woow wow wow wow...
Grandma's on the phone now
waiting
for an answer
as a girl holds
the receiver to me
and I don't know
what to say
and she wonders
what's the problem
as I tell that girl
to put the phone away
Because
to many years I have been waiting
to do what my body and mind say to do
alone in a corner, sick and afraid about
all that is thought by them, me, & you
o many years I have been waiting
to do what my body and mind say to do
alone in a corner, sick and afraid about
all that is thought by them, me, & you
Woooow
Woow woow wow wow wow...
And the long distance is piling up
from all of my unsung love
but while I got you here
I'd just like to say
How I do love you
and it'll be ok
and I appreciate
all that you done
and how it all gets better
though sometimes it don't feel that way
You gotta give your lives to the dreams you sung
You give your lives to the dreams begun
I said a all live long
Hey hey hey
Hey....

In the time that it takes
for me to sing this song
you fall in my arms
through the colors
and sing along
through the time
sing along
in the time
In the time that it takes
for you to
take in a breath
you'll find by my side
in the days
And in the time that it takes
for you to
recognize
I'll be gone
like a wave
of illusion
Gone through all the time
through the time
Gone through all the time
through the time
In the time that it takes
for me to sing this song
you fall in my arms
through the colors
and sing along
through the time
sing along
in the time
In the time of flesh
Time- delusion
Time- what's next
and time moves on
In the time- connects
time- illusion
time- will break through
all we do
In the time...
