Efflorescence

Rabbit Hole

Jackie:

The state of man in modern day
Is quite a ponderance, I must say
From old Milan on to Kuwait
To Pakistan and U.S.A.

To do n' say in wanton ways
Is oft' the case of coffin fated
Beings of this planet Earth
Who seem to deem their mirth unworth

The first and foremost needed moxie
We've conceded to a proxy
Sloppy in its weak epoxy
Constituted of a chalky

Mixture made to hold a frame
The picture told a golden game
Which boldened shame when overta'en
Off promises all falsely claimed
​
Jazmyne Waters:
​
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Hope you're happy now
Bet you're happy now

Jackie:

I got a homie and I know him well
He told me, Jack, Prozac n' ale
Ain't the mix I wish I needed
Heeded doc's advice, but I still ain't right

Aight, I guess
Catch some rest
Smoke a little bit a' cess
Best I keep my secrets kept
About how shit got me depressed

But what could I do?
Find my joy in a bottle of brew?
True, maybe for an hour or two
But after that, I'll be lackin' loot

Is the cream my pain?
A dream to stack green to where they make the rain?
A goddam shame
Derivin' vibes off material gain

Jazmyne Waters:

Are you happy now?
Hope you're happy now
Are you happy now?
Hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy now
Are you happy now?
Hope you're happy now
You're - you're happy now

Hope you're happy now
Happy, happy
Hope you're happy now

Merchant of Wetness:

They catch me smilin'
Ask me why I feel so good
Gave me sixteen bars so they could understand
At least they should

In the wood, know it's leaves
And you know that's how I wrap it
Spark the night like the torch
And then let's get into this rappin'

Scrappin' paper n' lines
But let's hold off on that fightin'
Spitin' spit to what we writ
Lit that shit, take a hit it

Enlightens, never frighten
Might need God and systems like a missile, what can I say?
Maybe the bay blood, if you missed 'em, blow the whistle

Sizzle, crack pop
I'm hot, but they call me a crack pot
It's a lot, gettin' wiler than a rot

Spot on, comin' through your song
Doin' wrong all along
Stay strong, cuz I'm hittin' blunts n' bongs taller than King Kong

Bangin' like a gong
Ain't speakin Klingon, make your heads ring
Ding dong, ping pong
My rhymes to break your bed springs

Flingin' sheets
Hair, dare, prayer, bitch, be aware
Say my stare is cold
Fucks to give? Not one spared

Jazmyne Waters:

I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now, yeah

I hope you're happy now
Happy, happy now
I hope you're happy now
Hope you're happy now

Happy, happy
​Hope you're happy

Feel Happy?

Song written to celebrate the anniversary of Maria Montessori's birthday, 150 years. Maria Montessori believed peace could only be achieved through education. This song is dedicated to her legacy.

Step by step let’s march for peace.
Come and join us won’t you please.
Peace can be a dream come true.
Here are things we all can do:

Be kind to other people.
Help someone in need.
Uplift the world with love
By doing good deeds and maybe one day?

Random acts of kindness.
Say no to violence. 
Show someone compassion,
Make a difference and maybe one day?

Step by step let’s march for peace.
Come and join us won’t you please.
Peace can be a dream come true.
Here are things we all can do.

Honor Mother earth.
Respect all living things.
Take a walk in nature,
Feel the joy it brings and maybe one day?

Care for our planet.
We can’t let down our guard.
Gaze up at the night sky
And count your lucky stars and maybe one day?

Step by step let’s march for peace
Dr. Montessori would be pleased
Peace can be our dream come true
And it all can start with you
maybe one day, Yes maybe one day we’ll have peace
