Lyrics:
Dam check the melody, can you feel the chemistry?
Lyrics are the weaponry, soul open sesame.
Right here's your remedy, take and drink it steadily.
Relax count to seventy, release all your jealousy.
When anger's the recipe, death is the penalty
If you have too many enemies you'll end up like a Kennedy.
Speaking of, I met a Puerto Rican dove.
But when lost turned to love, her touch turned to shove.
Boom Bye Bye, this guy had to go.
Now I lose myself in rap's magical flows.
A wizard like merlin, these webs keep unfurling.
Now you're in the dangerzone so you can call me Sterling
Archer, sit down prepare for departure,
Music is the way to stop your day from getting darker.
But if these vibes don't give joy to the needy
And you don't feel as warm as all the beaches in Tahiti.
Then your heart's as broken as a European treaty.
Cause pain stains the brain like walls with graffiti.
Flow raw like sashimi, if you think this life is easy,
You'll end up in two pieces like a modern day bikini.
Believe me, there are too many stories to tell.
Feet on that stairway to heaven, soul on that highway to hell.
My heart chose the tempo, fate chose my kinfolk.
Wondering what could have been while staring out the window.
Lost in the lingo, tryna hit that bingo.
To gain enough respect to stand tall like flamingo.

(Chorus) X2
Here have a piece of these lovely vibes
True power's in your soul not where your money lies
The youth know the truth these are hungry times
As my melodies journey through the countrysides.

(Verse 2)
I want that big city life with a small town girl.
Who would do anything for a chance to see the world.
I want a house in a prairie on an ocean of grass.
To escape the metropolis' suffocating wrath
I want an Indian canoe, just to float down a river.
Drowning all my sorrows in a stream full of liquor.
Staring at the stars, my spirit starts to shiver
Looking for a bigger picture is the picture even bigger?
Life is just a cycle not a fairytale,
You're on the top or on the bottom like a ferris wheel.
Love will spin your head like a carousel.
Is this girl really the one? Only your heart can tell.
You might like her for her looks, her thoughts, or her style.
But enjoy every moment cause you can't turn back the dial.
Talks used to be long and deep like the nile.
Now we keep it snappy like a starving crocodile.
So I'm waiting in the meadow to allow my thoughts to settle.
Following the crumbs like in Hansel and Gretel.
If a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down.
Then a room full of hookers helps the president get found.
I was shooting for the stars now I'm aiming for the trees.
I was talking to the gods, now I'm struggling to breathe.
I was once the king of the hill, then I fell like Jack and Jill.
In to Morpheus' Matrix, choose a red or blue pill.
And still, my life lacks that vital punch.
That shot of adrenaline that makes your stomach forget your lunch.
So I find it in my music with the scribble of ink,
My mind is like a ball when I dribble I think.
Soul connected with the body find the invisible link.
That made men stay on a ship whose only fate was to sink.
Answer too much to handle so I drown in a drink.
To try and dull the wits that brought my brain to the brink.

(Chorus)
Here take a piece of these lovely vibes.
True power's in your soul not where your money lies
The youth know the truth these are hungry times
As my melodies journey through the countrysides.
