Coffee 02:11
Verse One After a night of whatever whatever Hand in hand into the café we entered Long Line Still amazed how she figure me clever Fall in love again? I thought I would never Oh my Back and forth how we tattling tales Blurring lines between fake and the real Still high Baked chatter complimented by a full coffee shop Full of indistinct words matter Back at her Conversation intermittently laced Us juxtaposing coffee and race Analogize the interracial debate While we sit and we wait The waitress comes And Puts the cups on the plate Verse Two The waitress walked away with our smiles on her face We dilated eyes ‘we aint know what to say We sat there melting in a double stare Then I, managed to hear a word whispered in my ear “Contagious” said she, followed by two dope soliloquies Offered by her and me: she told me how a women’s body is A hidden calendar, menstruation work cycles like the universe works* Meanwhile I’m getting us refilled hiding my furrow brow I took a deep breath than confessed with a smile “Love is my God, love is my child”

Chorus No you can’t prosper here Singing songs of joy No weapon formed Singing songs of Joy Verse One Just the other day I saw a knife fall from a tree Split the air and just miss my knee Whoa! Retrospect the blade was nowhere close to me But Hopefully I can get myself to see Manifest destiny Just the other week I heard a gun shot At the burger spot No one hurt But some fries got dropped And Right about a month ago My man bungalow Got stuck for his teddy polo In front of JoJo’s Same day hit the lotto Looked at me and said “Surely God fills the potholes (potholes)” Ever-since I was a snot nose I wore okay clothes Hung out on 36th street But kept a book close Just the other day I heard a Politician Started flipping Luckily no body in the crowd to listen Just the other week I saw a mute speak Using sign language That was beautiful and rather unique Right about a month ago A girl with Vitiligo Seen love in the mirror Eyes weren’t closed Just the other day I prayed the rain away It was still raining but My umbrella made it okay Just the other week Hair was on fleek Took a step back Cut her perm off Now she free Right about a month ago My spirits were solo Started --bracing my creative side And low and behold Let You Know Verse One [2:09] Tell me tell me if you coming so A 120 on the dash If you wanna race lemmie know Put your titties on center-fold Put ya feet up on the dash Here’s a blanket if you getting cold Windows down in this motherfucker Two pounds of that motherfucker Loud in this motherfucker All smiles in this motherfucker That’s how I drive around never God never let you down nigga Chorus Just Thought Let you know (x4) Verse Two [2:48] I got an eagle in this motherfucker I got a silent desert eagle if you creeping on me motherfucker I’mma woke ass black brother No joke ass, focused, haul ass motherfucker No brakes for you motherfuckers Middle finger Any racist institution cuz ‘ey never loved us No brakes for you motherfuckers Middle finger Any racist institution cuz ‘ey never loved us Chorus Just Thought Let you know (x4)

Summer Breeze Discombobulating my stress with the wind Let’s navigate the seas once again The ocean remains my objective friend Set sail and take it all in That’s my summer goal That’s my winter resolution A smooth rocky road Like grandmas hot chocolate mixed with a jelly roll On Sunday morning Mamma Nature’s calling (Summer Breeze) Summer Breeze Discombobulating my stress with the wind Let’s navigate the seas once again The ocean remains my objective friend Set sail and take it all in (Written and performed by Heather Tarazi): Summer Breeze Can't stop thinking of it Going where ever I don't care where it is Summer Breeze It Kisses my skin The perfect remedy To grant me serenity

Locomotion 01:13
(Starts off her asking me Does she remember the first time I saw her) Yeah, I was on the 2-train tryna train my thought Transferred to 4h had to make that switch Jumped on the 1 like an agent smith You were wrapped in tattoos like a gangsta bitch But I could sense by your vibe that you was artistic I approached and sang with your ear music Like!.. Locomotion come, join the ride (ba da) Locomotion come, take me high* (ba da ba da da) The look in your eyes said “not the time” 116 train stop was mine I Stood up and through the glass, saw from behind, You were moving on the track like a train pressing rewind The hands on the clock on my wrist said “not the time” I rushed out and heard the doors clearly close from behind Took a deep breath and made use of the handrail Deep breath sound* Epic Fail Locomotion come, join the ride (ba da) Locomotion come, take me high* (ba da ba da da)

Chorus Start spreading the News Start spreading the news now Start spreading the News Start spreading the news now* Verse One [0:37 seconds] I maneuver through these haters just armed with imagination Seeing waves in a blue sky like Basquiat If I ruled the world and everything in it, no limit I’d drive a spaceship to infinite Name it master p and come back with a bag of ribbons Give Stevie a pair of eyes so he could witness The metaphorical darkness we all live in I imagine dung beetles in a submarine Not yellow, but blue and a bit of green Turn h.a.a.r.p into a harp and make the Earth sing Weather or not the chemtrails stop At light speed I’d turn C.E.R.N. into a jukebox {C.E.R.N? C.E.R.N oh okay} Verse Two Instead of atoms they’d be smashing pumpkins Thank you momma all the time you pack my lunch-in It was scr-um-p-tious. Chicken with extra dumplings Like it was nothing. I see a poet on the beach just puffin, forever free, Propped by the ever-harmony, which offers continuity To you and me. (Like) Chorus Start spreading the News Start spreading the news now Start spreading the News Start spreading the news now*

about

This album should be listened to from start to finish. Upon finishing the album, the listener should have realized that they have just experienced a visceral piece of music-art work; rarely conceived in the world of experimental hip-hop.
