Sometime in the future
when I'm dead and gone
my relations and my enemies might find
a common ground
and when they meet upon my porch steps
a small clay ball is found
so curious so seemly
that ball is conjun bound yea
I laugh now as I cannot then
the look of realization
all those iffy stories
those losses kept us down
so...
witchy in the bloodline
itchy in the nerves
this brew'll keep U spellbound
so I can read Ur curves
and should I find U lacking
a clay ball fire blackened
to carry a minor curse...or worse
the hook of love
yea cause there's the real rub
there's no hate that didn't love
goes so deep like it flies above
so if U spurn betray or waste my days
I've no need to give U chase
cause Imma conjun woman
and I'm...
witchy in the bloodline
itchy in the nerves
and I make a brew to produce in U
a spell bind...yea
step across my threshold
climb upon my steps
for one day my kin and enemies
may make their fires cold
to sit upon my porch and in their palms they hold
a small clay ball fire blackened I'm told
O yea I'm told

Fire Blackened Im Told

My phone has stopped it's ringin
and the dog got out last night
but this bed is warm and friendly
the wine a bouquet medley
baskin in the light yea
and there's rumors in the air
the hidden stories and affairs
of the cruelty and lack of care
yea...the coming
O
did U place ur thumb upon the pulse
inhale the sticky scent
and ride that wild pony to the end
O whoa yea
My phone has stopped it's ringin
and the dog got out last night
but this bed is warm and friendly
the wine a bouquet medley yea
baskin in the light 
O my dominoes were standing 
like a soldier field on pause
let the drummer drop the hammer
and the first one...starts to...fall
can't catch 'em all
can't catch 'em all
footsteps on the landing
footsteps down the hall
come the hoards and frenzy
when the keeper miss the ball
yea
can't catch 'em all
cause...
My phone has stopped it's ringin
and the dog has run away
but this bed...so warm and friendly
sippin my bouquet medley
baskin in the light yea
baskin in the light

Sippin My Bouquet N Basking

You held my hand as we walked that day
...as we walked away
and I know there's better times ahead
just seems...so far
and I'm not feelin brave
in this here watershed
cause it ain't rained for days
but there's a river at my door
and I believe I am destined for the higher 
ground cause all this barely living's got
me poor...like the lost and found
yea
and U held my hand all the way
said: 'won't nothin ever make me stay'
yea and it ain't rained for days
...but there's a river at my door
the pious beg we pray
the broken screamin bloody rage
well them rich ones...their money ate their souls...keep 'em in a cage
and I dreamed of river ferry's come to pluck me from the waves
grown men weeping..."jesus saves"
cause it ain't rained for days
but there's a river at my door
so will U hold my hand once more
while we walk today
while we walk away

Lost And Found Hold My Hand

He He He
I'm no fool
I take U everywhere I go
and I don't like U
but what I know...only if U knew
O
cause my papa always told me...
U don't have to be the lightnin
to beat the lick
no...O yea
and U might improve Ur chances if that
pal...is a lil thicc
and O dear god...if he only knew
what I know
well twice a year I pay a visit to the brambles and the wood
and I'll happily carry U along
for I know I'll be misunderstood
so I wrote this song
yea and
papa always told me...
I don't have to be the lightnin
to beat the lick
no no...just gotta be quick
just gotta be quick
O yea
and I might improve my chances
if ya'll are a lil thicc....
yea O yea
just gotta be quick

A Lil Thicc

My lover is my gardener...he keeps
my flowers in bloom
and he can graze in my garden
which is open to few
got some simple ol rules
for a garden with pools
O OO
honeysuckle 'n diamonds
make a sweet vine jewel
a scent of warm and sunny
that's my promise to U, honey
yea we'll eat warm berries
as we stroll among the pools
and this gardener in my garden
has all the right tools
O come to me my lover,
we'll be pickin' honeysuckle diamonds
'neath the arbor and the shade trees
yea
drippin honey like a sweet vine jewel
my lover
my darlin
and in ur sweet scent
I am a fool

Sweet Vine Jewel

O baby baby
Why U do that
we're no different...landin on the tarmac
born with the light of life
first thing U severed with that knife
cause...sure seems U don't respect me
just wanna affect me
keep me in peony
dragging buried chains
say I  gotta change my name
yea...that tree this bee
that crow this me
who are U to give to me
the labor and the task
wantin me to jump...cause U ask
O
I followed that chain digging into history
cause I was once free
and how I got here...is a mystery
til I look ur way...into inky eyes
full of misery...and I know
its useless to plead
a lesson in how to bleed
yea
cause it sure seems U don't love me
just wanna judge me
bust me
keepin me in peony
draggin buried chains
say I gotta keep this stain
yea that tree this bee
that crow this me
keepin me in peony
dragging buried chains
on my knees

That Tree This Bee

Since I was born
and every moment after
has been spent in a Way-side Quik-EE Mart
turns out I'm a member of a society
way too real in it's sobriety
like a tea-todler with a sweet tooth or a 
fan-boy playing up his youth
yea cause 
our air has been diluted
aim to cut us where we're rooted
got a bounty on a bunny
saying  'follow me'
O 
so I fell down the rabbit hole
and at the same time...I hold the line
cause there's a scandal at the exit
so no one leaves
and I believe we've been deceived
cause there's traffic in the skies
under the gaze of alien eyes
and just a roadside attraction
at the Way-side Quik-EE mart
yea
and I've heard it said that this isht's
all in my head...Imma master of
invention my brain pulling down a pension
clears away the broken promise of my heart
yea
I got a bounty on a bunny
saying  'follow me'

A Bounty On A Bunny

I've got my head undercover and I'm
wearing my darkest shades
cause sometimes those bad omens miss me
their bad-luck-broken-vibes delayed
and even god must wonder at the way
those omens plunder
not happy to trash my name...
they go on to bring down my game
O yea
use my love against me
tellin'  me to do the same
yea
and I've been tracking down the details
for the author and the architect
yea...I open up closed doors
no holding back
the broken records or the scratch
pay no mind to all that howling
coming up from the cracks of sin
yea O
use my love against me
tellin me to do the same
whoa O yea
tellin me to do the same
and I must just...pay no mind to the sounds and sights
yea bad bad bad omens
and something coming
and it ain't good
no...it ain't good

Broken Vibes Delayed

My armor on the floor
like scattered leaves
in a thunderstorm
drippin wax where the wick
has gone too low
the flame a lonely flicker
and from beneath the bathtub water
breath arrested slowly burning
eyes shut tight as life finds itself returning
and everything feels like rain
rain rain on
and I swear that I'd been in a different state
but it's looking like my soul's been stretched
intestate
come the carrion crew to pick among my leavings
cause even if the sun's out
everything feels like rain
rain rain on
and why U gotta kick a man
when he's already down
cause everything 
feels
like rain
rain rain on

Everything Feels Like Rain

O I don't know...how I can go on without U
Oh Oh OhO
and this weight upon my shoulder
this ache within my heart
and all I can do...is watch
as U tear it all apart
and this hard ground can't give to me
the warmth and measure of ever
knowing such vanity
to place myself above...
yea
and here I sit in grief for the hell U put me through
and for the son I lost in U
and I don't know...how I can go on without U
Oh Oh OhO
and this weight upon my shoulder
this ache within my heart
and all I can do...is watch
as U tear it all apart
and how I wish I knew
cause I really need to know
what happened to U
and how far back in life must I go
to find the thing that stole that kid of mine
Oh OhO
I don't know
how can I go on without U

Son I Lost

🤟🏼Working on new patterns and techniques in composition, production, and performance of both instrumental(classical/acoustic guitar) and voice- pieces are built (loops and beats)..on BandLab @nyla_k00  and Soundtrap (new)

I have removed the (amp) tag for consistency in distribution- acoustic pieces I perform will be tagged as ‘acoustic’ (apologies for page reorganization)

TBH, I aspire to be a guitar 🎸 but I’ll settle for being able to play competently what I hear when I write...(one day, Alice...to the moon)

I study under Duncan L. Wood and am grateful for his guidance and patience. Most of my influences are Folk/Blues/Indie, but inspiration arrives in many forms so HT to Hip Hop, Rap, Classical, especially Chamber trios. Current tracks are first cuts and I may update them in the future with cleaner versions, thank you for listening as I learn.

This track is not available anymore.
