I can do this now
I can do this now
I can do this now
Baby, you’re the one I want
No need to waste our time
You may be the one I need
Let me explore your mind
Yeah, you’re feeling like the truth
Don’t want the sensation to end
So let’s go from bar to booth
Where the real fun can begin
Yeah, bae I saw you sitting up in your seat
Back arched like your fine never ends
Your body swaying to the beat
Swirling drink with your straw’s end
Mesmerized by your silhouette
I had to catch more than a glimpse
My appetite i had to whet
So I pushed past all the pimps
So I pushed past all the pimps
So I pushed past all the pimps
So I pushed past all the pimps
I had to catch more than a glimpse
So I pushed past all the pimps
Baby, you’re the one I want
No need to waste our time
You may be the one I need
Let me explore your mind
Yeah, you’re feeling like the truth
Don’t want the sensation to end
So let’s go from bar to booth
Where the real fun can begin
Now we tucked up in the booth
For a deeper interview
20 questions like a sleuth
Chop it up as we chew
You ask me what I want to do
Hot message in your eyes I read
I say “we need to take a walk
So we can clear our head
So we can clear our head
So we can clear our head
So we can clear our head
Hot message in her eyes I read
I say we need to clear our head
Baby, you’re the one I want
No need to waste our time
You may be the one I need
Let me explore your mind
Time passes as we walk
Steps ordered as we tread
We get to know each other’s path
As we stepped from the booth to the bed
Bar to booth
Clear our head
We can walk from the
Booth to bed

You're the one for me
I'm the one for you
You're the one for me
I'm the one for you
I open the door
Step foot in the spot
And there she is
Looking so hot
A second ago
I was feeling playful
But my my my
She walks so graceful
Not wasting time
I have to go see
If she's the woman
For my eternity
Eternally
She's like an inferno
So I step forward
I gotta let her know
You're the one for me
I see how your light shines
I'm the one for you
I read all the right signs
You're the one for me
You're radiant and divine
I'm the one for you
Let's have a phenomenal time
She turns around
And sees my face
Now it's slow motion
All up in this place
I step even closer
I feel the heat
I introduce myself
She says
Nice to meet
Conversation's cool
She says great things
We share aspirations
Hopes and dreams
About rearing children
And everything
I take her hand
She starts to sing
You're the one for me
I see how your light shines
I'm the one for you
I read all the right signs
You're the one for me
You're radiant and divine
I'm the one for you
Let's have a phenomenal time

I’m made equal with My Creator
There’s no on else that is greater
I’m made equal with My Creator
There’s no on else that is greater
I used to bop my head to Talib Kweli
Mos Def, Outkast, Common, Cube and Jay-Z
To all their beats, I was stompin’
Just had to hear the next level of consciousness
While others weighed drugs by the gram
I was contemplating Def Poetry Slam
But I was still young, just becoming a man
Y’all money hungry rappers may not understand
I was a young buck, flirtin’ with disaster
So I went to Vermont to get my Masters
Straight up for education
Went to Ghana to see a new nation
Got a good grip on my predecessors
So I would never succumb to a new oppressor
Got my dashiki outta my dresser
With dreams of whippin’ a Kompressor
Searchin’ for wife, but I couldn’t stress her
‘Cuz I was becoming one that could bless her
Learnin’ from elders of different degrees
So I would never have to shuck, jive or appease
Gear my body to fend off disease
Carnivorous vegan sippin’ Almond Breeze
Experiment with soy, rice, then almond milk
As I reminisce about my ex named Silk
All the while, praising Almighty One
Defend my convictions without using guns
Like a thief in the night, but never had to steal
Just keep lubrication in my nation’s pineal
I’m made equal with My Creator
There’s no on else that is greater
I’m made equal with My Creator
There’s no on else that is greater
I still bop my head to Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Outkast, Common
Lauryn and Marley
To all their beats, I was stompin’
Just had to ADD to their level of consciousness
While others worry about oil spills
I work my butt off just so I can chill
Without burning up any fossil fuels
Or drivin’ a Hummer, looking like a fool
Now, don’t sleep, I like to look cool
But I influence kids in public schools
So a role model I gotta be
Eliminate vices so all can see
I got too fat, so I’m losing weight
But gained some muscle, please participate
Our world is getting’ old, and way too fat
Gonna squish the world until it’s flat
Oh, ho! I just made a mistake
Saying the world is like a flat hotcake!
Now, you know, this is only a song
So nonbelievers, please prove me wrong
And rap about what really brings you joy
Instead of money, girls and iced-out toys!
Yeah, I said it, half of you are just sad
And you other ones are just about mad
I know sellin’ this may seem hard
But I gotta praise the one and only God
Yeah, there’s only one with infinite aspects
And He can heal any broken necks
That crunched under big heads with bigger egos
So we can uplift, and fly like eagles
Instead of walkin’ around like lil' beagles
I’m from Cleveland, I don’t walk to Steagal’s
Yeah, I’m from Cleveland, but not just any dawg
Unless you’re Sirius, then I clear the smog
Anew mind, be ye transformed
Cuz I’m a manner of man beyond the norm!
And now I drink a lot of coconut milk
And still reminisce about my ex named Silk
Eatin’ fresh fruit that I grew from my garden
Protect my ends like a prison warden
Cuz my money is my brand new slave
It gets my needs met in almost every way!
Yeah, y’all, I achieve balance
By being myself, never bury my talents!
I’m made equal with My Creator
There’s no on else that is greater
I’m made equal with My Creator
There’s no on else that is greater

When Sh** Hit the Fan
02:41

Prepare for the day
When you have to stand
On all 10 toes
And live as a man
Save for a rainy day
And do all you can
Cuz one day sh
Gon hit the fan
Prepare for the day
When you have to stand
On all 10 toes
And live as a man
Save for a rainy day
And do all you can
Cuz one day sh
Gon hit the fan
I got a message transmitting
to all of the fellas
Sh done hit the fan
Better bring your umbrellas
Writing's on the wall
Nobody gotta tell us
Ignore the sloths talking
They just jealous
Politicians out here
Being over zealous
Others chasing chaos
Peace is what I relish
Law and order? Huh
That sounds cool
But it's the codes that really rule
So keep your head up
And on a swivel
Don't be a fool
And fall for the drivel
Stay focused on your grind
Shoot for the point
Of our strong spirits
That will anoint
Prepare for the day
When you have to stand
On all 10 toes
And live as a man
Save for a rainy day
And do all you can
Cuz one day sh
Gon hit the fan
Prepare for the day
When you have to stand
On all 10 toes
And live as a man
Save for a rainy day
And do all you can
Cuz one day sh
Gon hit the fan
This is a message to
All ethnicities
What you gonna do
Without electricity?
Live in real time
Artificial intelligence
And that money
Will be irrelevant
Still save and
Plant real seeds
Let the sun and water
Nurture those leaves
Till the soil
For what we need
And fight hard
For what we believe
Have faith
And build on facts
Science answers questions
Where belief lacks
Don't blindly follow
All these hacks
Regenerate
Henrietta Lacks
Prepare for the day
When you have to stand
On all 10 toes
And live as a man
Save for a rainy day
And do all you can
Cuz one day sh
Gon hit the fan
Prepare for the day
When you have to stand
On all 10 toes
And live as a man
Save for a rainy day
And do all you can
Cuz one day sh
Gon hit the fan

Flatline…
But the pulse continues
Up and down
Like SIN wave
All the rhymes
That I gave
All the souls
That I save
All the roads
That I pave…
I, I, me, me
It IS WE, see?
I stand on the shoulders of peeps
That died before me.
But some shoulders are of kids, G!
Got shot by cops
Turn cell cams on…
At least in past times
Had white masks on
Before they took a shot
Before they slipped the knot…
Our parents didn't tell you?
They must've forgot…
Now Millenials walk around
With amnesia
Eating flaming hot chips
GMO as anesthesia
They can't feel what's real
OOOOOH!
We can't feel what is real…
We can't feel what's real
OOOOOH!
We have to deal...
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
Some peeps
Might not have a death wish
Commit crimes?
Cops might leave you breathless
And moms standby
Feeling helpless
Prosecutors?
Sometimes at times, act selfish
They're just along for the ride
Evidence matters
Only if it's for the state's side
How does one conquer?
Perpetual division
Wanna indict?
That's Grand jury's decision
No more raw deals!
Our lives are real!
#HandsUpDontShoot
Just tryna' chill
Hear how we feel!
#HandsUpDontShoot
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
No more blood splatter
Cuz #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackLivesMatter
Unless it's the cameraman
Or protestors in a riot
Then there are arrests
Then there are indictments
When all together
There's no stopping WE
Meaning the people
In a real democracy
But not right now
Most blacks are still property
Play on the radio?
They just might dub it
Democracy?
More like a republic
Without the banana
Or colorful bandanas
Whether packing heat
Or swinging hammers
I didn't stammer
And no I didn't stutter
Walk out the house
Ladies' hearts flutter
Is that the way to live life?
Are these citizen's rights?
Are these citizens RIGHT?
Do we have to go on strike?
Is it time we shine our light?
But we gotta make it bright!
Are you scared we might fight?
No more raw deals!
Our lives are real!
#HandsUpDontShoot
Just tryna' chill
Hear how we feel!
#HandsUpDontShoot
No GUNS UP MY SLEEVE
Crooked cops deceive
But ICantBreathe
No more blood splatter
Cuz #BlackLivesMatter

Get wholistic
Or become
A negative
Statistics

Together
Enriching our
Legacies forever

Our Power is Major

This goes out to the peeps
That say we're near the ending
Prolly think that slavery
Was the beginning
Eve ate the apple
And that started all the sinning
More powerful than that
So let me start imprinting
Our power's in our mind
That's why I think
I'm always winning
My thoughts float up so fast
They keep the world on spinning
Don't worry, be happy
And keep on grinning
Population control
Here's what I'm sending
An email
Saying that we prevail
And we sail
All the seven seas well
With ease whales
Could end all disease
Well the seas swell
Listen to the sea shells
Can we tell
Other nations
We fell
Or we gel
Like sea moss
That we smell
As we ail
And hear other peeps yell
So pray tell
Or at least pray well
Our power's major
Our power's major
Our power's major
Our power's major now

So let's use it right
So let's use it right now
Let's use it right
Let's use it right
So let's use it right
Let's use it right now
This is for the peeps
That really listen
The answer's in our skin
No need for fission
Use our mind
To accomplish missions
Dig in our souls
Make good decisions
Use that pen
For compositions
Work with each other
For strong positions
Heaven's gates
Is our entrance
Eternal life
Should be our sentence
Our power's major
Our power's major
Our power's major
Our power's major now
Our power's major
Our power's major
Our power's major
Our power's major now
So let's use it right
