1st verse: (Dwele Harris)

Hey Black Man, 
I know you feeling less than hopeful
For the hunger that’s inside you, 
I’ll provide you with some soul food
I told you, 
life is hard and times are tough
But it’ll all be for naught 
if you choose to give up
So get up, 
and take your rightful place as Ruler
You reign over everything, 
including your Medulla
And when the rain can’t wash away the pain
It leaves a pool of 
years of broken hearts
with cuts that’s sharp, you picked the tool up
I know you feel you never knew love
And you don’t remember who you was
Back in a time when things were fine
You’d press rewind, 
invade your mind with rays of light
To change your future
Glory Hallelujah,
Define “divine” and it's who you are
You’re on the shore, please don't go too far
I Know your grip is getting looser but
What would we do if we were to lose ya?

(Hook)
He ain’t heavy
He’s my brother
We gotta be there
For each other
So I’m gone lift him up (yeah yeah)
I’m gone lift him up (yeah yeah)
Living is heavy enough
So I’m gone lift him up

Verse 2:  Tim’m West
When you asked how can I be down I didn’t realize
The pain so burning you up behind your cool disguise
You always seemed to have a joke, but the jokes on me,
And all the ones you left behind unexpectedly
So painful to sit with the fact that we never knew
You were a mirror reflecting that I sometimes feel blue too
Life is hard for us Black men 
Feeling we damned whether we do or we don’t 
(damn)

But you dying, it was a lesson to me, 
and all the times I’ve thought to end things indefinitely
Wantin’ to join the ancestors thinking its that time
Forgetting all the love I would leave behind
especially how disappointed my daughter would be 
If I took myself out forgetting her love for me
I had to face the reality that therapy, can lighten when I’m heavy
and not practicing patience with me 

(Hook to fade

heavy

In all things be true.
Honestly is the best policy. 
And the heart doesn't lie.

Recent joint I did for Hidden Manna Cafe in Matteson, IL. Check out the video. It's a 70's feel (my favorite era of course)...

Hidden Manna (Extended Version)

Life is worth living, but most people are distracted by watching others live THEIR lives. Even after a once in a lifetime global lockdown, people would rather see each other through a screen rather than in person. And the vitriolic atmosphere trafficked there, amplified by the shareholders, fueled by anonymity is making us... worse. I don't like it, I don't want it and frankly, we don't need it. The facts are fake, the pictures are fake, the righteousness is performative, and its lost its appeal. There are real people to see, real experiences to have, real chances to take and real love to make. In essence, I just wanna be real. Call me Antisocial. What about you?

Let Loose (Prod. Areo)

It is a good 20 years ago that the diagnosis "testicular cancer" broke into my life like a thunderbolt. For a long time I have been cured of it. Nevertheless the mental and physical scars remain; and the shock, that lingers in my body memory forever over the horrified cry of the young, compassionate doctor when she discovered the tumor in the ultrasound. Time heals many wounds but by no means all. But the time of 20 years gives me enough distance to find words and sounds for what happened in and with me in the first three days after the cancer diagnosis.  

Lyrics in English:

Could that have been it?

Just came from the ultrasound
Inside of me a dull thud 
Everything different

Wanted to have children 
Must now bow to fate:
Testicular cancer

Standing` totally beside me
I am like death, no feeling

Could that have been it?
I've only lived half a life
Wanted to give so much more

Why me? What sense?
Is there a reason?
That I am afflicted with cancer

Who threw this curse on me?

Just want to be alone
Dig myself in in the dark
Only want to sleep

A part of me screams: "Free!"
The agony of life is over 
I may die now

I'm so confused
I don't know what's going to happen to me

Could that have been it?
I've only lived half a life
Wanted to give so much more

Why me? What sense?
Is there a reason?
That I am afflicted with cancer

Who threw this curse on me?


Deutscher Originaltext:

Kanns´denn das schon gewesen sein?

Komm` grad` vom Ultraschall,
In mir ein dumpfer Knall 
Alles anders

Wollt` doch  noch Kinder zeugen 
Muß mich jetzt dem Schicksal beugen:
Hodenkrebs

Steh` total neben mir
Bin wie tod, kein Gespür

Kanns` denn das schon gewesen sein
Hab` nur halb gelebt
Wollt` noch soviel geben

Warum ich? Welcher Sinn?
Gibt´s nen Grund?
Das ich vom Krebs befallen bin

Wer warf mir diesen Fluch nur hin?

Will nur alleine sein,
Grab` mich im Dunkeln ein
Will nur schlafen

Ein Teil in mir schreit: „Frei!“
Die Lebensqual vorbei 
Ich darf jetzt sterben

Ich bin so verwirrt
Weiß nicht was aus mir wird

Kanns` denn das schon gewesen sein
Hab` nur halb gelebt
Wollt` noch soviel geben

Warum ich? Welcher Sinn?
Gibt´s nen Grund?
Das ich vom Krebs befallen bin

Wer warf mir diesen Fluch nur hin?

Kann`s denn das schon gewesen sein?

Kann`s Denn Das Schon Gewesen Sein? (Could That Have Been It?)
