VS: Do you ever get the feeling you're in your own way?
At one with your body, yet still outta place.
Reaching out for healing as you slip away.
There goes reality; what else do ya face?

PreCH: Do you have the answer if you don't mind the question?(2xs)

CH: Could it be so simple; if I'm not the one that makes this hard?
These problems seem so little; just to end up back where we start.

Ferris Wheelin' ('Round and 'Round)

S/O to the world and inhabitants of Earth...from my backyard. Wrote this back in grad; brief streams of recurring thoughts I put to music during my journeys across the world.
Seemed appropriate.
"On and on we see
Wind will keep blowing
Moon keeps on showing its face.
Earth steady turning
Sun always burning in place
We are surviving
All the while dying to live forever endeavor.

~People persisting, time just existing always forever and ever.~

Endeavor Forever (And Ever)feat. Mariko Reid

Written By CliffGo

"Heavy drinks, verdant leaves mixed with many things; (many things -and 'round we go-)
Crazy dreams just may be entirely, (-super nice- entirely)
Deja vu, deja vu,
But who are you, but who are you?"
~Sultry Solo~
-flash flood-
-i'mma put the pressure on-
"In 6010, will you love me then?...hold up.
So hungry and bluesy, I hope I don't lose me...
forever endeavor..."

Deja Vu

acoustic guitar- J Walls
all else- CliffGo
(bass, voice, sax, lyrics, arr. etc.)

"Hey there, hey there;
Even after glory days, 
To me, you still radiate...
Sunshine, sunshine.
But when the clouds come, 
I can't bear to see you all alone.

Can you thaw my heart from the past? (Bitten by frost)
Chilled by the frigid grip of forbidden facts;
You bring warmth...during drafts. (No longer lost)
A joy I never thought would last."
--sax solo flutter--
'Through the test of time!
Through the fire,
To the limit-- to the wall;
For a chance at lovin' you,
I'd gladly risk it all.
Through the fire,
through whatever- come what may; 
For a chance at lovin' you,
I'd take it all the way.'

Hey There, Sunshine

CliffGo & JJ

JJ: A lot of you __ think you special--
"But I'm so nice, I'm so nice. I'm so nice, yeah...(repeated)
CliffGo: so nice(2xs)
so nice, yeah; so nice
Both: I'm so nice
CliffGo: (flash flood)
Yo homies all left and you need a ride? (Just call you an uber)
No coat nor umbrella and your phone just died...? (Your friends are super)
'Cause you think you cute, I should play nice? 
...alright, just hold tight...
'...and uber eats too sir...'                     ...Now you gotta appetite??
Don't mistake my kindness for some type of weakness;
(I don't know you)
You could be killer crazy, you ain't got to tell me;
(what I should do)
I ain't got to bother, I'm just gon' be honest;
(you just people)
But do as if unto you 'cause I once struggled too, here's 28 cent;
(ramen noodle)
Please and thank you, you, you
JJ:(I'm so nice)
You can have whichever you like
(I'm so nice)
Chicken, Beef, and Shrimp-- are you satisfied?
(I'm so nice)
Both: I'm so nice
CliffGo: 
so nice, yeah(2xs); 
so nice(2xs)
JJ: I'm so nice... hol' up... I'm so nice;
Both: I'm so nice (repeated)
I'm so...
CliffGo: Super nice (2xs)
Both: I'm so nice
(super nice 3xs)" repeated

SO NICE

*blaring sax*
It's heavy on my psyche- I can't brush it off.
Y'all make me nervous goin' beyond the terms of service.
Invite they friends Beretta and Kalashnikov--
Fall in your sunken place like Dungeon Drop.

No drop-top, straight Rolla, I try my best to..
duck nightly patroller but unsuccessful.
My right side's good, left side's loosey (Luci)
They all pursuing-- tryna choose me!
You sweatin'-- I'm glistenin'
You throwback--I'm hittin' it
Late nights/ early mornings thats my business.

Rubber-bands over wedding rings,
Fake love, no reality
Attitudes lacking empathy
Need both dark and light to see
All black, gold everything
Flash me down like they into me
Right side claims "have more faith"
Left claps "you're never too safe" (message!)
Both sides point the same way
the infamous 15:
they sell you the minutes and gut you by second
Turn around say the first 10 was a blessing, (bet)
I think about it, it gets me heated
They haunt our mirrors if we don't please them
What do you do when they come for you?
What I do wrong (criticized to come here)
Cant I be strong (ill-advised to lack fear)
Here I belong! 
Yo, gentrification says "Hey, let em eat cake.
Raising the stakes; cops and appraiser are right on the way. HA!

It's heavy on my psyche- I can't brush it off.
Y'all make me nervous goin' beyond the terms of service.
Invite they friends Beretta and Kalashnikov--
Fall in your sunken place like Dungeon Drop.
