Ep. 14 Village vibes in rural Uganda - a walking diary

0:14
Take me on a road trip
Tell me bout your whole life
I just want to drive around
Drive around your whole mind 
Sexing ain't my goal line
Your mind is like a Gold mine
I just want to find you out
I just want to know how to
Make you smile
And learn how to
Make us last for awhile
Long enough to 
Take you on a road trip
Tell you bout my whole life
I just want to drive around
Drive you round my whole mind 
Sexing ain't my goal line
This life is like my only life
I just want to share my secrets
Anything to know how to
Make you smile
And learn how to
Make us last for awhile
Even tho
1:11
Even tho
It's on a need to know
You know you only need to know
The Holy Ghost
Really there ain't anything 
That He don't know
So you can let me know 
If you just need it told
I know my shoulder cold
That's cuz of someone old
I could break it down
If you just need it rolled 
But if I let you know
What I don't need to share
Would you let me in
Or would you leave me there
But maybe this is how we get the fixings 
Grits and gravy with some extra biscuits
Nice or Naughty either way I'm listening 
Giving gifts that I bought with attention 
I can only give you everything I'm givin
Always treat you how you choose to treat me
Tell me all about your darkest secrets
From the itty bitty to the heebie jeebies 
I'd plead the fifth before I'd be a snitch
Whisper it if it's too hard to speak  it
Dirty nasty weird scary creepy sleazy
You're preforgivin got pre permission 
Looks can be deceiving
Trust me believe me 
I wanna make this easy 
Like easy pickings
I wanna pick you
Pick you up
Pick your brain
I wanna kick back 
Kick the sand in Satans face
Laugh like 
I only lived
To live today
In a past life
We were kids
Then we were slaves so
Now that I got time 
I prayed and ate
I'm just glad that I stayed around
To stay up late
Long enough to
Have the time 
To spend today
I wanna cash out 
On your mind
Then drive away
And
2:08
Take you on a road trip
Tell you bout my whole life
I just want to drive around
Drive you round my whole mind 
Sexing ain't my goal line
This life is like my only life
I just want to share my secrets
Anything to know how to
Make you smile
And learn how to
Make us last for awhile
Even tho

The modern traveller is no longer just a seeker of leisure but a conscious participant in a global community. As we navigate the complexities of climate change, our travel choices reflect a deeper understanding of our relationship with the planet. By considering factors like forest fires, hurricanes, and flooding, we now choose the mode of travel and the season we travel in. The public now places a higher value on safety and less on cheap travel deals.

New music every week. Multiple times a week.
YouTube Live every week. Multiple times a week.

If you’re reading this, then my music may be for you. But I have over 300 tracks and for me to expect you to listen to all of them is ludacris. If my music is truly medicine then you shouldn’t have to take every pill in the medicine cabinet in order to feel better, and taking too much medicine at one time is likely to cause more damage than it heal. But I truly want everyone reading this to feel better! So what do I do? What can I do? What do other people do to help their prospects make decisions? These are my options; product descriptions/summaries, dosage and frequency instructions, descriptions of side effects, expected results descriptions, etc. And no, I did not use AI to help me write this. I care too much about you to delegate this task. 

So here we go: 

Product description: All of my songs are medicine. 

To be continued… I have 3000 more characters to try to convince you I’m worth trying because you don’t know how good you might feel after one hearing one song of mine and listening to the end …
