lyrics

I’m just a Cali’ kid,
a valley kid
Louisiana fig pudding
what you doing here
I find it hard to live

Within my means
because my dreams
are always shell shocked
The Zen of Justice
friends accustomed
to watching bellhops

Send they luggage
up the ramp
The baggage that they claim
would leave disdain
across the map

I often act as if
my baggage is exclusive $h*t
The cluelessness
and foolishness while
pursuing this

Dream Material
but at what cost
I lost many of loved ones
Many of loved ones
Yeah, she was a loved one

And now we don’t talk
and I suffer in silence
‘cause my pain is not
the same as many a clients

I know she don’t buy it
but I try it in this space
in this place
Under duress who could’ve
guess I build my name
amongst the best

In Shanghai
Reminiscing on her
from the Chi’
So, as I drift away
I hope I’m summarized

As one of the good ones
even if some don’t
like me like that
Attraction=God
so, I’m proud to be Black

So, I’m proud to be Black
with my flava intact
I’m Black but too proud
Mental Health is detached

As the sadness
tries to creep in
I gotta be strong but
in this song I feel it
creeping in

I used to be more joyful than this…
I used to be more joyful than this…

But,
I’m still
hopeful and wish
for the soulful with bliss
I’m so vocal with wit
that I seem noble equipped

To handle it
light one up for the
graduates presenting
at conferences
who used to listen to
the jazz hits

While studying at colleges
什么时候 (shénme shíhòu) though
As you ask me when did I
start to lose the joy again, so

It started with a friend
then it started after ten
under the bright lights
where the parking lots
and pocket books
are left in the wind

What I would’ve given to be
your Private Favor, once more
but the choices we make
sometimes closes the doors
to open metaphors
on different shores
to open metaphors
on different shores

But, to see ya
once more would be bliss
and make the
last 2 years’ worth it

So, now I reminisce…
So, now I reminisce…

In the darkness…
