I got the sun in my eyes,
Backyard haze
As the day meets the night
I’m alright
In the light of the moon
Me and you
I got the sun in my eyes
Yeah

Lean back take a sip keep it simple
Hit that rip that zips get rid of
Asleep in the middle of the day
Living like a cast away
Like to say that
Time don’t matter anyway
The sky is on fire
Alarm clock set as I rolled outta bed its that amplifier
Asking why ya why ya looking at the sky?
and why ya lying looking for answer, cant ya see the sky is lyin to ya?
well, i have what i’ve heard 
Tomorrow doesn’t come then ive lived and ive learned
Sun doesn’t set well i lived and i burned
True that what you give is what you get in return
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
Least Im around, for today with my guys
The world spins fast, kick back
Then kick the back door out, sneak past
Jumpin in a pool cooled by the moon

Chorus

Overlap part:

I feel the rays I feel the waves
I feel the way you look at me

Don’t gotta go home
Ya don’t gotta go don’t gotta go home

Chorus

Lookin for a way eyes closed mind open
Lookin for a way to say things unspoken
Let’s add motion to the moments that we’re still
I’m searchin for some more and im hopin for a thrill
Can’t really see me but I’m lookin at you
Somewhere in between the afternoon and the moon

Songs That Saved My Life

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Toussaint Morrison is a hopeless romantic and a super-villain. Sadly, in a world where definitive genres are ever-shrinking, Morrison still hasn’t been invited to any of the parties (which is where the super-villain part comes in). Abandoning a decade of front man’ing for live bands The Blend and Lazlo Supreme, Morrison joined forces with the evil Dr. Wylie, producer and confidant. The collaboration between the two has already generated this past year’s #1 Album on RapReviews.com’s Top Ten Albums of 2011, and looks to establish a national tour while depleting the monthly limit of free downloads from their bandcamp site. 

The 3-time national slam poet has not only paid his dues, he’s insisting on paying more than his tab; sampling an unconventional ensemble of sounds from Feist to Chicago to Weezer and on. Relaying tales of relationships doomed by bar-close, requited love thru emasculating reconciliation, and a run-in with a 2nd grader at a café over coffee & chemotherapy; the adventures of Toussaint Morrison Is Not My Boyfriend could warm even the hearts of the most cynical (Ann Coulture and winter in Minneapolis included). 

Funded by friends, family, and perfect strangers via Kickstarter, his new mixtape is the 1st in a series of 3 (consider it the first piece of the triforce). 17 stories/tracks/titles long, "Toussaint Morrison Is Not My Boyfriend" is the largest piece of literary work he has ever laid to sound. Also, as a rule of warning, when Toussaint isn’t crooning to women on campus or freestyling in character as Luke Cage, he’s busy concocting bonus tracks to follow an album such as the one before you, somewhat like low blows after the bell.

Vibe Out Fella - Vader The Villin Ft. Niki Cremmen

Within less than a week of entering life, Toussaint Morrison was baptized in a New Orleans kitchen sink, named after the man who led the first successful slave rebellion, and raised by two activist parents who were called to the streets of the Crescent City to protest the Vietnam War. However, in a few years, he’d take a sudden move to the frozen tundra of Minneapolis by way of his parent’s divorce, and found himself playing toy instruments alongside his grandfather, a professional jazz trombonist. Years later, shuffling through his father’s tape collection during road trips to visit family in Detroit, Morrison was given a makeshift intro to Ice Cube’s AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted… and as an adolescent between entirely different worlds and conditions he never asked for, began writing.

Now, after a storied music career and touring for years, Morrison surfaces a new album, The Very Best of Ricky & Jane, name-dropping his parents in the title with a fleur de lis emblazoned on the cover in solidarity with his birthplace in the Big Easy. The Very Best touts tracks such as ALL SAINTS that tip a cap to his late grandfather who introduced him to playing an instrument, and his Detroit-born father who taught him how to speak at rallies. Following with RIOTS WORK, a metallic street ballad to his involvement in the uprising of his home city of Minneapolis, protesting police brutality and other forms of white supremacy throughout two long years of community action on the heels of police murdering yet another Black man in public with seeming impunity. This new body of work highlights the dichotomy of Morrison’s upbringing, celebrating a life of music a damn good trouble.
