about

(Written during the early part of the quarantine. When we were all at home and homesteading and gardening was a thing again. I spent the day with my partner Jessica building a chicken coop blissfully in love and wanted to create a hip hop Motown type song, a funky little jam you could clean the homestead to and feel good to. A song about domestic bliss and the simple life.)

lyrics

Feeling good in the hood
With my lady yeah she crazy
I am too
So life is never boring
There’s always something
For us to be exploring
And I’m feeling euphoric
Just to be by her side
Cuz I laugh when I should cry
Thrive in the hard times
I don’t need much
Just a little bit of love
Some coffee some bud
And a beat to rap too
Let’s unite with the mushrooms
Live life like a cartoon
Yep I’m an adult
And I got kids too
And I love to watch them grow
Discover their soul so
Life is so hectic but check it
We gone live our best life like...

Last year I got divorced
It broke my heart
I cried leaving my garden my home
And everything I owned
So we bonded over pain
But yo we ain’t staying there
Nah gotta keep it moving
Grooving to the now
No longer responding
To future fears
Or past traumas
We are moving passed drama
Like haha yeah yeah
You can check it
I like my new life better
It’s more authentic

The worlds in a crises
Infected by the virus
And ran by tyrants
The systems crumbling
With so many struggling
It’s time to give back
Yeah I understand that
Everyday I run around town
In love with the sound
Of the playground but now
I need to slow it down
Ease up the stress
Take a deep breathe
Release all the grief
That I’ve seen
So I can be empty ready
for the new dream
And now in between
Let us be
Not bitter for what’s been taken away
But rather grateful for the beauty that remains
