The song I used to propose to my soon-to-be-wife on June 24, 2015, which was our two-year anniversary.  The instrumental is Macy Gray's "I Try," which we think of as one of our songs.

Lyrics:

Haven't written for a while, mostly write when I'm upset
And now I'm happy all the motherfucking time, it's divine
Life's sublime, high on two joints, high on true love
From my viewpoint I am up above, shoulders shrugged
Atlas handed me the world and I took it, look at me
A shining Dionysus or Adonis
Either is a viable comparison depending on your view
‘Cause I'm engorged with this love but I'm chiseled true by you
From rap I'd rather retire than still lust for who inspired
All my previous material, thank God for no venereal
Diseases, thank you Jesus, never thought I'd ever be this
Overjoyed to be the boyfie of this woman I adore

I just need a second for this one final request
I've been thinking it a while, time to get it off my chest
Would you marry me? Would you care to be my one and only?
Because with you I'm elated and I never fear the loneliness
Suppressing, pressing to my chest
The crush caressing lessening breath
Give me a second to second the guess
Nah, never mind, there’s no worries left 

You don't have to answer now, you don't have to answer ever
For whether it's yes or no we'll always spend our lives together
We don't have to birth no kids, we could raise a fucking army
We could share our marriage vows
Or have a commitment ceremony
Which is basically the same thing, it's baloney
I don't care who may oppose me... but I digress
Here's a ring, here's the thing, you can take it or reject it
Sugar, whatever way your heart may lean I promise to respect
But let me say this now, let me shout it to the world
I hope that you say 'yes' because you'll always be the girl
To have my heart

So will, you, marry me?


A Proposal [Explicit]

This is a parody of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise," which I wrote and recorded myself and then had playing as my walk-in music when I married my wife, Jana.  

Lyrics:

As I walk down the aisle where I’m ‘bout to be wed
I look at my future wife and realize I’m very blessed
‘Cause I’ve been single and searching so long that
Even my mama thought my shot at love was gone
But I ain’t never dated girls who didn’t deserve it
Wasting time with one-nighters just didn’t seem worth it
Say my heart’s frozen like a meat locker, dead like a walker
Well you and your posse would be ones to talk
I hate to pick and choose while denying those
With remarkable assets, mostly physical, fool
I was the sorta boy who the classmates used to laugh at
But look who’s laughing now, it’s kinda hard to even grasp that

CHORUS:
We’ll be spending most our lives
Living in a marriage paradise (x4)

Now look at this gorgeous bride standing beside me
Get her all to myself, I don’t want nobody else
Guess I came a long way from the young me
Too much romance novel reading had me blind to see
That fiction makes us fools and true life provides
Everything we ever need long as we open our eyes
I’m a down home honky, got a bit chunky
In my belly but it’s love that’s got my heart swelling, fool
Happiness is just a couple minutes away
And you’re all here to witness it, isn’t this great?
I’m 26 now, I’ll never see 27
‘Cause I must’ve died and found myself in heaven

Tell me how are we so blessed to be
In this hallowed home of matrimony?

CHORUS

Canines and kittens, tortoises and rabbits
Hedgehogs and birds, we’ll never break the habit
Maybe we’ll have kids, one or two or twenty
No employees yet but with children we’d have plenty
I feel like a king holding court at the farm
Easily hold the world in the breadth of my palm
Thuggest couple east of Compton dropping bombs and making stacks
Ho-J and Nick-Nack slaying tracks, play it back, fool

CHORUS

Tell me how are we so blessed to be
In this hallowed home of matrimony? (x2)


Marriage Songs

Marriage Paradise

A track inspired by all the wonderful women not only in my life, but also who bring happiness to others all over the world.  Released in celebration of International Women's Day, this is a demo version of a track that will be included on my second mixtape.

A Word of Advice for Teenage Girls (Demo) [Explicit]

An instrumental uploaded by Snoop Dogg that I wrote lyrics for and am gonna send to him. Pretty cool that he's doing stuff like this.

I Get Stupid [Explicit]

My interpretation of the "deepbassline" instrumental uploaded by Snoop Dogg.  It's a good mix of solid lyrics and a goddamn awesome chorus.

Lyrics:


Everybody knows his name
The envy of the whole damn game

Spiked collar, five dollars
All I need to clear way for the reigning Doggfather
Always poaching those who dare encroach me
I am not afraid, I will snap if you approach me

Sneaking up and fucking this game up, Doggystyle
Now I’m finally wylin’ to crescendos of violins
Orchestrating my orca style, killing shit
Overly over-playing my own denial, reeling it
Peeling back the layers of this piece ‘til you see
How much you really know about the things you think when I speak
You don’t realize I go hard to stave this starving
I need to feed to survive, I’m trying, but it’s hard when

Everybody knows your name
When you’re the envy of the whole damn game

Take a second now, listen
Do they recognize who they are dissin’?
I am on this, honorably heartless
Exonerate the O.G., stomp these petty pompous pricks

Put me in the booth, Snoop, I’ll rip ‘em apart
Just tell me where to shoot, and tell me when to start
Aim the gauge at pages and blast their words off ‘em
Wrote the play, set the stage, closed the curtains on ‘em
Exit stage left, no applauding
No encore, no more marauding
No more anything, why would they start this?
I murder hack artists, been a while, ‘cause it’s hard when

Everybody knows your name
When you’re the envy of the whole damn game


Everybody Knows ('deepbassline') [Explicit]

Opening track for new mixtape consisting mostly of Snoop Dogg-uploaded instrumentals.

Lyrics: 

Sucka please, I’m a fiend, I’m a demon unleashed
I’m a hard carnivore, you’re a vegan deceased
I’m a beast in the east and the west if you need me
Then feed me the rest of these rappers to eat
I’ma feast on the best, fester on the beat
As I foster these people with my pumped up sneaks
I’ma stump these freaks, stomp these freaks
As I crop off another honkey’s top at the peak
I howl at the moon, spit doom in the heat
‘Til I push those that gush about kush in the street
Or off of a cliff, scoff at the creeps
Never soften the rift that’s between you and me
You look awfully verklempt, let me lend you amends
Never mind, I’ma rhyme ‘til I bore in your head
Like I’m storing your senses and kifing your life
Striking my matches and stroking your wife
Disrobe her like I’m a shogun
Like I disown her, I don’t even know her
But I know whether standing voila or voici
There’s more danger to you than’ll ever be me
I’m the father of sin, the axe to the tree
I’m the adder, the apple, the Adam, the Eve
If I batter a bitch with my bladder relieved
On her lawn can you find someone badder than me?
At least know, that I don’t like to serve my beef cold, with my piece showed
And if you bring it, then I’ma fling it right back with my claws out, beast mode
You can’t read so when I write this shit I don’t bite my lip
‘Cuz if I did I’m afraid I’d need to pack more in, otherwise I’m not quite so lethal
You can try to scam me, even try to scan me
Like etiquette in taverns, bar code
But you won’t know what I’m on though
With a Smith and Wesson combo
Rocked akimbo, in my limbs both
Make you drink that Kool-Aid, Jim Jones
This area is grey to me
Not black not white not beige to me
Do you really wanna jump on this stage with me?
Do you really have the guts for engaging me?
Or the nuts in your cup for facing me?
Even if the world is embracing me?
You ain’t fazing me, ‘cuz I ain’t hazing thee
I don’t mind if your eye’s being lazy, ‘G’
I’m just loppin’ the heads, robbin’ the kids
Of their piggy banks, always takin’ opp’ of the biz
Bitch I’m at the motherfucking top of the list
You ain’t even on the fucking popular list
I’d take it further, but who the hell is left for me to murder, best realize
I advise you adjourn this now ‘fore I bring you down slingin’ beef like burgers

Introduction ('WOW KLC') [Explicit]

Conclusion to mixtape consisting mostly of instrumentals uploaded to SoundCloud by Snoop Dogg.

Lyrics:

I pack heat, tuck myself in between my legs to fit more beneath
My drawers, like Transformers, I’m more than meets the eye, no borders
Gimme more, sir, I collect these thoughts and I keep ‘em in boxes like hoarders
That way when I find confrontation is facing me
I can snack on ‘em like hors d’oeuvres 
Lay the smack down like a Brown does
On his girlfriend, Whitney Houston
Or Rihanna, all the girls I want
That are stacked in the back with the racks in the front
But it stumps me, how they can be so dumb
About something, like fucking
Goddamn, what a grand discov’ry
If I slap up a chick she gon’ love me
But I’ma save that for the repeat
‘TIl they dub me, ‘til they rub me
The wrong way, I filet with a club beat
As I rip on the cadence to the drum clicks
The company I keep, is not quite as sleek
As the one you seek, my friends are kinda rugged
And thuggish, but don’t worry ‘bout them
You should only sweat when you think of me
Now as you stand on the brink with me
And look down the drain of the sink you’ll see
No bottom, you get shotgun
You better use up your prayers if you got ‘em
I’ve sent so many players down to rot, son
I’m the Angel of Death to the God’s Son
Do what Nas does, non-relenting
I send all my vigor ‘til you’re hunched over, bending
Neverending, this is it
Michael Jackson’s death certificate
Now I’ll sign yours, I define war
Try and bring this bullshit to my door
Again, then we’ll see who the realest is
Jay-Z, Mecca, get you feelin’ it
Got the jewel infused you ain’t stealin’ it
When the monarch barks you better kneel in it
Grovel, bitch, as the light dims
Motherfucker this chapter is over, I wrote it
-Fin


In Closing ('WOW KLC') [Explicit]

This song is pretty different from everything else I've released so far, and I normally wouldn't be releasing it outside of the mixtape it is on, but it was the only piece I submitted that was selected to be included in the 2012 UW-Barron County Red Cedar Review.  Since most people I know likely won't get their hands on a copy of the literary journal, I figured I would finish recording it and put out the song version the same day. Samples "Long, Long, Long" by the Beatles and "He Won't Go" by Adele.

Lyrics:


I am sick, my loving twisted
To a form you cannot understand…understand?
You can hold me tonight and mold me to right
Make me who you think that I am, I am
Distraught, caught up, in thoughts about you
You’d think I’d have been taught from then, but yet
I’ve fallen again, feels harder than when
I sold my emotions to them, to them

I could ball out my heart, and toss out my art
So the darkness consumes all I am, and then
You would never see what you mean to me
And we’ll pretend what I feel is a scam, a sham
As far away as you are today
I don’t really mind the wait, but the weight
Of anxiety chokes and my jealousy provokes
Me to breaking and taking that bait, to taste

To be honest, you’re gorgeous, my heart is engorged with
A longing intense as I’ve known, in poems
I’ve tried to express all this pressure my chest
To succumbs but I’m numb, I can’t show, what I wrote
As I know, if I do, and love is not shared by you
Then I’ll have to move on which is what, I don’t want
So uncertainty’s fine, I’ll just keep crafting lines
While racking my mind to find words that define what you are

To me

Such as: “I gaze at the skies and I wonder why
You’re divine and what I should do, should do
The stars tonight are beautiful
But not as much as you, as you”

A-Bone
