lyrics

Yo, I like to rhyme the whole day long
So, baby sit back, chill so listen to my song
I’m a folkman, born and bred
But I get these funky rhythms in my head
Rock is cool daddio, but I dig a hip-hop beat
So, give me something funky just to move my feet

chorus:
So, I say stay yeah, to my homies from downtown
I say leave my mind to my girl 'cause she runs around
The rhythm captures me, mind, body and soul
Music and God, these are the only truths I know

Love can be risky, sticky, even cold
Not everything that glitters is made of gold
I got my turn, to learn this lesson well
I got the thorns of the rose, but I was lured by the smell
So, stick to the melody, free as can be
Love is an illusion, take it from me

When it feels like life’s just going down the drain
You got left at the station 'cause you missed the last train
You’s blue cause your girl ain’t true
Well, listen up, I got a message for you
There is only one truth and it’s God up above
He’s got peace like a river and love like a dove (repeat)

I was just chilling down in Kalamazoo
Going to see G, Jimmy Jazz, and Thunderhouse too
I went past the State, to that little Jewish diner
It was G and special Sauce, what could be finer?
G’s the man of the blues hip-hop scene
I told him music is my life but I sing it to my King
