Jazz City Poets - gowe.mp3

[00:21.80]I'm in a jazz club, I hear the music play
[00:24.43]I feel the saxophone notes but I just stare at his face
[00:27.22]And I reflect upon his fluid form of movements
[00:29.53]His use of the best band comprised of a couple students, my goodness!
[00:32.72]I mean talent wise his skill was incomparable
[00:35.05]To anything that I've seen so I just ponder and watch
[00:38.02]I just look on and really didn't want it to stop tracks that he laid
[00:41.46]paid for the train in my thoughts I patiently wait
[00:43.70]thinking bout this man and his past Did he rock a million shows
[00:46.87]make a hundred thousand in cash With a few platinum plaques
[00:50.05]at his pad outside of reno Or did he fall deep inside of a new casino
[00:53.69]These are questions that I pose when I ponder On the chance of me
[00:56.59]like 20 years down the road when I am half of me
[00:59.52]Will I fall under the same fate or direction?
[01:02.05]Lessons that I've learned when I burn through my conceptions
[01:04.47]Its just a cold night, im chilling in my city
[01:07.41]I got the whole night, nobodies gonna get me
[01:10.19]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[01:12.52]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[01:15.45]Its just a cold night, im chilling in my city
[01:18.19]I got the whole night, nobodies gonna get me
[01:20.92]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[01:23.25]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[01:26.22]I was told that if you're blessed with a gift the most selfish
[01:29.36]Thing you could do is pretend that it didn't exist
[01:31.50]So I take drums that hit, with a jazzy riff when I spit
[01:33.87]My moms flipped her script when I told her about my gigs but its cool,
[01:37.41]she knew that I was driven at twenty two
[01:39.23]now its coming full circle, kicking it back to you
[01:41.96]Graduated school with a new point of a vengeance
[01:44.70]Farewell to my fears I will stay clear of your venom
[01:47.68]Stumbled on the serum, chillin with nothing left
[01:50.11]Feelings in my chest like I'm ripping it through a vest
[01:52.70]And im taking it to the next step, kill the regret
[01:55.28]Any mistakes that I made is now a part of my past
[01:57.99]Im taking it home, can't stop, leave it alone
[02:00.68]Part of myself yells to keep keeping it going
[02:03.36]The lights dim down again the Saxophone starts to play
[02:06.04]I start to picture everything, I wish I could say
[02:08.81]Its just a cold night, im chilling in my city
[02:11.96]I got the whole night, nobodies gonna get me
[02:14.63]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[02:16.91]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[02:19.69]Its just a cold night, im chilling in my city
[02:22.63]I got the whole night, nobodies gonna get me
[02:25.36]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[02:27.72]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[02:30.30]I lounge back while I relapse and I might go
[02:33.15]The whole track starts to relax and I write slow
[02:36.14]Back to the tempo pondering music
[02:38.31]When I would think about the future with songs
[02:40.63]That'll get me through it I'm good
[02:42.36]deal it if I'm misunderstood
[02:44.13]Hope my future children see, take it and they achieve
[02:47.01]Poppa Followed Christ, poppa was in love
[02:49.67]Poppa had dreams but Poppa will never be
[02:52.35]A puppet used to poison the passionate plus irrelevant
[02:55.03]Portraits on a beat, taking a part of me
[02:57.67]I rather take a seat in a room full of my heroes
[03:00.40]Their hair turning grey, wearing their cowl and cape
[03:03.11]I just listen, taking mental notes within my vision
[03:05.64]The longer conversation im pondering my condition
[03:08.42]As a writer, the lights start to flicker on its brighter
[03:11.10]As passion starts to leave I make a promise to write her
[03:14.02]Its just a cold night, im chilling in my city
[03:16.81]I got the whole night, nobodies gonna get me
[03:19.59]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[03:22.01]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poetIts just a cold night, im chilling in my city
[03:28.02]I got the whole night, nobodies gonna get me
[03:30.55]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
