Fifty years ago, I quit my band in Maine to go to graduate school on the west coast. I have often wondered where my music might have taken me, especially during those anxious waking moments in the early morning haze. 

This CD is full of lyrics and music I wrote over the years and recording them has allowed me to rediscover these songs that might have been. My lyrics, like all poetry, are fundamentally personal, but they also evoke the emotions we all feel as we struggle to make sense of our mistakes, raise independent children, and live lives that matter. 

Also included are two of my favorite tunes by songwriter C.K. Wood (Island & Up The Coast To LA) and a medley of two traditional train songs that started it all for me, way back then. I managed to keep my music alive by playing these songs for friends and family…and now for you.

[In memory of Erlon Bailey, who taught us all how to Rock ‘n’ Roll.]

Benjamin’s Deli (Remix)

Apple bottom jeans, wearing no jeans
It was you with the skirt uh (skirt uh)
Boots with the fur, action 
Putting my vocals on the track
That’s work huh (let’s work)
Been tryna break into the league
If no doors open Imma bust through this one (bust through this one) 
Act like a fan on the IG
Really I’m just tryna get closer and risen (closer and risen)
Least I admit that (uh)
Might as well go hard, spit my own facts (facts)
I’m my own close friend make my own pact
Cause when push comes to shove 
I got my own back 
Still got love for the music 
Won’t abuse it 
In these times I was a lone Jack
Son I was tryna pop like a quarterback 
Post pop Warner
Skrt they ain’t know a sack 

Private party, no details last minute address (yeii yeah)
Talking bout location
Land on the map
I ain’t talking bout Atlas (yeii yeah)
Aggression comes in phases 
In attack mode I can never be passive 
Authentic intelligence 
Court awareness 
AI practice 
Incomparable, unequaled (yeii yeah)
Practically matchless
Reaching homeostasis 
That’s the centre of gravity balanced (yeii yeah) (I’m balanced)
Improving day by day
At peace with the craft 
If it’s really bout talent 
And I still haven’t run out of words to say in the lines like can you imagine? 

And I gotta be this Joe up on the mic (on the mic)
Riddim like Damita when I get under the lights (under the lights)
Jiggy with it, drink prolly come with the Ice
Taste food, if it needs seasoning add the “Spice” (Ice Spice)
Doing what I do only rap what I know
When I’m in and out the beat 
Making sure flow is tight (flow tight)
Gotta move forward when I move left to right 
No doubt, cause you cyan’t have that 
For real, nah we cyan’t have that (Thank God)
Heated like some candle wax 
But I chill cause my act on class
I’m a mod class act 
Had to get gone for a while 
Had to find a new gear 
Refocused now I’m back on track 
Sometimes you gotta laugh at app
If they hate on you
Preach love, it’s a natural attack
Had to go and take the hat off briefly
To speak my truth
Passport lemme pass no cap

Akim Akena - Benjamins Deli (Remix)

Need a wifey shorty to do me nasty 
High classed and classy
She gotta ask me
How do I please you first and lastly?
While being a 10 + 10 + 10
Just to match thee
Organic baby hair edges that lay naturally
Skin glowing, outgoing fulfills fantasy
Race don’t matter to me
All you gotta be able to do is be close to my centre I pull you like gravity 


Meaningful things look to be meaningless
Under the sun, why toil?
Make a decision 
No matter the consequence 
It’s loyalty for loyal
Know who you are
Water wouldn’t mix with oil 
Still it’s mixed to boil
Pasta, macaroni, ravioli 
Stayed on my doly
Studied the game to the point where I 
know me
If I practice what I believe would you leave me holy 
In the penalty box
Only objective is get the ball passed the goalie 
Catch a body in a song you might die 
Don’t ask why
Rejoice in life, no matter the strife 
And fear God
Word to the wise 
Taking my time 
Is it allotted?
I’m just bouncing up the pockets
While I try to switch the topic 
Microscopic when you cop it
Focus on it just to lock it
I’ll be honest trust the process 
Is a theme you must adopt if
Getting to the top is top of 
Your discussion never drop it

Need a wifey shorty to do me nasty 
High classed and classy
She gotta ask me
How do I please you first and lastly?
While being a 10 + 10 + 10 
Just to match thee
Organic baby hair edges that lay naturally
Skin glowing, outgoing fulfills fantasy
Race don’t matter to me
All you gotta be able to do is be close to my centre I pull you like gravity 

I’ll keep it brief it’s gotta be love
Float like a dove
If I catch you lacking
I won’t need a glove 
Keeping one anyways 
Always a bigger purpose above 
Amongst other things 
Time and patience will lead to the dubs
Internal conversations like monologues up in the mud 
Whether or not you can make it out 
God is more than enough 
Overcoming the world in a time 
Where the price going up 
Next time I see this nasty shorty 
Imma give her the tongue 

Need a wifey shorty to do me nasty
High classed and classy
She gotta ask me
How do I please you first and lastly?
While being a 10 + 10 + 10 
Just to match thee 
Organic baby hair edges that lay naturally 
Skin glowing, outgoing fulfills fantasy
Race don’t matter to me
All you gotta be able to do is be close to my centre I pull you like gravity
