WORLD COFFEE DAY

Caffeinated. Caffeinated.
My legal drug that keeps me sedated.
Caffeinated! Caffeinated.
Without it, I’m energy castrated.
Stimulant deflated.
Inundated with the grind orchestrated.

"Fading light drifting in the stream
Everything feels like a lucid dream
Time slips away nothing's real
In this moment there's nothing to feel
Dance where the daylight fades
In this haze,
In this dreamworld.."

GET UP!!!! [alarm](BEEP BEEP!)
GET UP!!!! [alarm](BEEP BEEP!)
GET UP!!!! [alarm](BEEP BEEP!)
GET UP!!!! [alarm](BEEP BEEP!)

Gotta run, gotta go!
Eyes half-closed and I'm moving slow.
Coffee stand calls, caffeine in sight,
But something feels off, something ain’t right!

Where’s my wallet? What’s the deal?
No cash, no card—this panic is real!
Can’t get my fix, can’t get my brew,
What am I supposed to do?!

Wallet! Wallet! WHERE DID IT GO?!
I’m losing my mind, the liquid must flow!
I drive back home, just to find,
It’s right beside me, messing with my mind!
Caffeinated!

Caffeinated! Caffeinated!
My legal drug that keeps me sedated!
Caffeinated! Caffeinated!
Without it, I’m energy castrated!
Stimulant deflated!
Inundated with the grind orchestrated!

Turn the wheel, back on the street,
No time left, caffeine’s defeat.
Traffic thick, no way to win

[outro]
Late for work, it’s No time to return, no coffee on this date,
Traffic’s building, now I’m late,
Work is calling, no turning back,
All for a wallet sitting in plain sight.
SHIT!!!!

COFFEE BLYAAAT (slowed+reverb)

Teena Dare talks with Lauren Clark, co-founder of Tamarisk Community, as she shares her journey in creating belonging for young adults aging out of the foster care system in her community. Lauren always knew she wanted to work with kids in vulnerable situations, but it wasn't until she was faced with the realities of kiddos in social services in her own backyard that she found clarity for her next steps. And then the ones after that.

This Spring Series is about the radical nature of belonging within the family of God. Lauren leads the way into the next few months by introducing some of the devastating realities that young people face when they enter adulthood without having a family to belong to. But she offers hope- the hope of a shared table, the hope that can show through the cracks of trauma as employers and communities become more informed and saturated in grace. Lauren also beautifully describes the way she has found Jesus in these low places and discovered an unmatched intimacy as she seeks to serve the very ones that Jesus came to love.

Esau opens up his story with Reading while Black and the shift into writing a much more personal narrative, How Far to the Promised Land.

Morning Coffee

DJ AURM - Morning Coffee

Awakening

I grew up listening to a lot of genres of music which made it for me impossible to choose a specific genre to rock with.
Of course, my culture is hip-hop but, sometimes I like to switch it up to, Reggae & Dancehall, Afrobeats, Dance, Electro, Soul/R&B, Rock, Downtempo, Blues, Jazz, Dubstep and Drum&Bass. It depends on how I feel.
How I feel will define the beginning and the end of the production.
To be honest, I'm in love with music since I was a little child.
And because of that, I named this movement "OneLoveProduction"

DJ AURM is a pianist, composer, and producer. Thanks to his unique talent for crafting simple yet memorable melodies, the musician has carved out his niche and captured the attention of audiences worldwide. Quickly gaining momentum, he has built a substantial fan base. DJ AURM creates music that takes everyone who listens to it on an unforgettable journey.

In 2021 I started out making electronic music on my phone so I had something to listen to on the way to work that wasn't mainstream radio and it grew from there.

Taking the band name Omshaie (ohm shay) after a character from one of my favorite games.

I started getting requested to share my music with friends and their friends and eventually led to the release of my first album in March of 2023.  Second album release Oct 2023.

Still improving and learning.  Recently expanded to rock/metal.  Can't wait for good things to come.

On July 22 my metal Album: Loresmith - A Warrior of Pride launches on all major steaming services.  Please support and go listen!

Now headed into its fifth season, The Faith, Work & Rest Podcast highlights stories of ordinary people of faith doing ordinary work for the glory of God and good of their communities.
