V1
'I never thought that I would bump into you..
But I recognize your newsletter - you write for the school
Well that’s cool, I think its true that real news is overdue
So to you I give a salute keep expressing the truth to the youth'
Wait..that’s an abrupt kind of ending
What kind of a conversation starter partners without the filling
Or feelings, matter fact, she’ll never buy a slice of that..
I might just play it smooth and not mention that I rap
Cause you know, stigmas have a tendency to attract
The worst kind of attacks before the moment we interact
Like 'oh, he’s a rapper - the gangsterish type of guy?
Misogynistic inside with a chain swinging to is side
Or, the super abstract dictionary writer?
Syllables are is ocean and making sense is the fire'
I’m getting tired, reassess in the morning
Stress is kinda high so I should hi without a warning
HOOK
I said, go and talk to her
Start a conversation and maybe we’ll converse
Plus, Whats the worst that could happen?
If you said nothing you’ll just stand here distracted
He said fine I’ll talk to her
Start a conversation and maybe we’ll converse
Plus whats the worst that could happen
If she turns me down at least I’ll have her laughing
V2
So here we go for round two, its just the morning again
Apron in hand clocking it in 'fore the morning begins
And it does, I recognize the regular faces
That I see on a daily basis but with different expectations
Around ten is when she comes through the door
Orders a cappuccino tall while she sips it against the wall
And I remember that last time I considered to tell her
That I really liked her writing but my speaking ain’t well versed
So I skipped it, plotting what I would say when she would visit
Maybe hit her with a joke, then transition to linguistics..
Or a topic that captures both of our passions
The sex slave trade or ways of affirmative action
My brainwaves sway away to err on the side of caution
But then my flaw is, our talk becomes too often
And so I soften the blow first by a simple 'hello'
she said 'hey, wait, I think I just went to your show...'
HOOK
V3
She said hi, my name is April and I’m a writer
I write for the paper here but my goals to join Esquire
I seen you a couple times, mainly behind the counter
Serving a couple drinks, pondering to inquire
But the lines are packed out whenever my classes are out
And so I preplanned all my routes just to miss out on the crowd
And it works, oh.. the reason I’m here
I the chance to see your show and I came with a questionnaire
If you don’t mind, I really need just a fraction of your time
How long you been writing, what keeps you in line
my mind is spazzin out by the fact that we’re interacting
I tell myself to relax and reply back while distracted...

Summer Breeze Sonatas
03:45
|
|||
Hook -
The sun sets with a light cool breeze
And all I see is beauty with a deep blue sea
And I really want to stay but the music got me time to go
Time to go
And when I land or am up in the clouds
I will think about the summer with a great big smile
And my favoritest Sonatas will be playing all across my globe
My globe
Verse -
In this world there are distractions, that'll keep me afloat
I want to swim faster but pride likes to keep me controlled
With a higher supply of dough screaming and at a show
I could take trips with this flow but I'd rather take it to go
like spend it at home - with the wife and the kids
Maybe take em for a walk around the place that we live
that's if I get married before my heads out of the biz
And if she down then she'll know that I'm only using
my gift for the glory of the King, if there's no diamond ring
She'll still sing to my hooks while we strolln through the rain
Cause she believes in my ability to provide even If I write late
while juggling a nine to five I will still say goodnight
with a peck placed on her cheek
And If I got to go east then I will be back in a week
And I will miss you every minute - kiss you through the phone
And just cause I'm gone know that I cant wait to be home
Hook -
The sun sets with a light cool breeze
And all I see is beauty with a deep blue sea
And I really want to stay but the music got me time to go
Time to go
And when I land or am up in the clouds
I will think about the summer with a great big smile
And my favoritest Sonatas will be playing all across my globe
My globe
Verse -
They say that real love is rare and that its harder to find
I agree - times two if you're on a musical grind
So if you're booking a bunch of shows and you're spending it on the road
You better text after the show with your spectacular flow
Cause she will sit back in the zone - wait for the reply
Thinking about the vibe of your plane ride in the sky and
she will wonder how you're doing
did you touch down are you cruising did you flow well
were they booing, did the tracks fit were they moving
And I will say yes, but im my heart im feeling blessed
beyond measure and the treasures just the fact that she cares
I never had dreams of a millionaire or thoughts to compare
My lifestyle to theirs all of my riches are shared
Through the form of a paint brush and a canvas
When my cuts heal and im damaged
I will spread love through a language that is
universally known - grab the microphone
But before I rap my verse let me tell my baby I'm home
Hook x2 -
The sun sets with a light cool breeze
And all I see is beauty with a deep blue sea
And I really want to stay but the music got me time to go
Time to go
And when I land or am up in the clouds
I will think about the summer with a great big smile
And my favoritest Sonatas will be playing all across my globe
My globe
