| Yo. |
| I scribbled, all out of line when I drew up a self-portrait
|
| Ran all out of space and found me in another orbit
|
| More importantly though, he wasn’t late for the interview
|
| Kissed the interviewers hand, we weren’t properly introduced
|
| They danced through topics while skimming the truth
|
| Skinny dipping in each other’s optical visions nude
|
| She threw the magazine, cause she said she knew the editor
|
| Chief rocker, not a competitor or a beat boxer
|
| Honored enough, she Peter Bradley’d with us. |
| With her
|
| Drew Blake’s tucked, cause she knew what was up
|
| I just drew blanks, blushed all the way to the bank
|
| Cashed a few bucks, got grub, filled up my tank
|
| I think she, prolly think I’m dopepretanatural
|
| Said I smoke with the judge, tried to feed her them apples
|
| Fuck classical, I listen to jazz-soul, R&B, riddim and blues
|
| Funk grooves, hard to tweak shit. |
| Deep end thoughts
|
| I walked the streets bent. |
| Contaminated speech be killin' then beat this
|
| Watch one prefix, restrict-a-remix, reach quick to keep shit
|
| Constipate release dates. |
| R-S-D-L, Dual layer edition
|
| As soon as the scene breaks I sneak in the chicken
|
| Get em' Hamilton James shot, couldn’t handle grim had to grin
|
| Nikon flashed again. |
| Right on! |
| Yo, this planet is hilarious right moms?
|
| Sike, wrong. |
| Look like he drops bombs on a serious note
|
| He need a series, he’s experienced folks. |
| No inquiries though you should
|
| already know
|
| Hold the press, you got me long as I’m holding her dress
|
| When she move eye move, and it’s just that fresh
|
| Sunset’s taking me places I lay awake to see
|
| Painting dreams patiently patient; |
| playing keys
|
| Singing off awfully, pardon me cough, coffee breath
|
| Caught me walking awkwardly arguing bout' my art and death
|
| «Marshall what’s an artist with no arteries?», I often think
|
| Glad I left part of my heart carved in a leaf with ink
|
| Blink, sharpie my sheets, no debate. |
| Second guessing was guessing a second
|
| second too late
|
| I said, «Wait, can they handle a candle with no mantle?»
|
| Light bull over head went dull; |
| «What should he sample?»
|
| Pulled Ahmad Jamal, saw a lost number on the record sleeve
|
| Talked like Charles; |
| checked to see if she would guess its me
|
| Caught off guard, all laughing all ecstatic. |
| Asked her «Could we do lunch?»
|
| She said, «Yeah Gavin.» |
| Gavin? |
| Who the fuck’s Gavin? |
| No more laughing,
|
| phone hung up
|
| Must’ve been the wrong number. |
| Ion' know who that was. |
| Cuz laughed at me
|
| Buzz bad, actually drunk, mad happy. |
| Started dialing other folks, «Fuck it yo,
|
| act classy.»
|
| Sat up straight, put a button upon. |
| Even though it’s 4:20 we’ll be fresh before
|
| dawn
|
| Used to want Ms. Daily even though I was young. |
| Then we slept half the day as
|
| if nothing was wrong
|
| She said, «John what the fuck are you on? |
| You look a mess.» |
| I said, «Same shit as you, and it’s just that fresh.» |
