More Than Music

You are my golden lady
With moonlight in your eyes
You fill me with a love supreme
My ribbon in the sky
You sophisticated lady
You pick me up when I’m Kind of Blue
In the stormiest of weather
When I’m in a Sentimental mood
Chorus:
I think I love you more than music, more than music
I think I love you more than music, more than music
Verse 2:
You’re a blue note in a red sky
You’re the music of my mind
You’re a kiss to build a dream on
You’re the sunshine of my life
I know I was made to love Ya (her)
From Summer time to Autumn Leaves
If I should leave before you
Dream a little dream of me
Chorus:
I think I love you more than music, more than music
I think I love you more than music, more than music

Stand and Fight

I know it’s hard to believe, something you couldn’t conceive,
but I promise, I’m the rose that grew from concrete
no shortage of hardships liers, thieves, falls and trips,
and every summer I make trips and I’m still trying hard to be
be the best that I can be and beat the best trying to beat me,
me the best you’ve ever seen yeah yeah yeah
Ch:
I’m prepared to fall learning to fly
If you’re gonna live you gotta be prepared to die
When the show is done and God turns out the lights
Did you run away, did you stand and fight?
Verse 2
I’m bent not broken, hard to swallow but no choking,
The pressure is real man and that’s no joking
No shortage of nay sayers, players and all the haters
I interrupt the instigators, and that makes me a great communicator
And I’m standing tall winter, spring, summer, fall,
fighting hard through it all
Ch. X2
I’m prepared to fall learning to fly
If you’re gonna live you gotta be prepared to die
When the show is done and God turns out the lights
Did you run away, did you stand and fight?

Whips and Chains

Ch 2x:
We used to be in whips and chains,
now it's money over everythang
they done recognized and changed the game,
now when we get money all we buy is whips and chains
V1:
Kyrie thought he was a gangsta
called himself the king of the streets
first rule 'bout where he come from
there was no such thing as free
his momma worked 2 jobs late night
he had to be home before the street light
his daddy worked first shift and was in bed at 5
this knuckle head is runnin round and gettin into fights
young man he had little supervision
elders talk but he would never listen
he went to school but he didn't pay attention
until the day the music teacher had to mention
Ch 2x:
We used to be in whips and chains,
now it's money over everythang
they done recognized and changed the game,
now when we get money all we buy is whips and chains
V2
He learned about the origins of hip hop
take the blues tell the truth and let the beat drop
how it evolved from patty rollers into crooked cops
the same reason why this foolish music gotta stop
tellin their truth is not the issue, but the platform they have is misused
they would rather tell us stories that are untrue
instead of giving us some verses filled with virtue
there's a few that speak about the things that will remain
the rest would rather keep us stupid and our minds enslaved
instead of pushin healthy practices that will remain
they'd rather keep the conversation bout the whips and chains
Ch 2x:
We used to be in whips and chains,
now it's money over everythang
they done recognized and changed the game,
now when we get money all we buy is whips and chains
