Raise Up

If I were a goddess...on a steed
why it would probably be
a medicine hat under me
and everywhere I go...I amass
for I am possessed of divinity yea
and I'mma ride that love on blast
yea crank up that amp
its going down down down
yea carry on
put those hands together with 
a slap
a clap...shake the can...don't need a band
trynna find dignity yea
and I'm kneelin on the desert sand
gonna have an epiphany
yea and I'm flying high in a world of love and shine
yea and its about that time
when all the world tunes in
O the magic of my mind
and O yea
the incandescent light
ain't room in this new world
for malice...yea
people plottin and scheming
while my open heart keeps beating...mmmmm yea
and my eyes were looking weary
but babe,
I still see U clearly cause there's no one else
gonna give to me - my dignity

Trynna Find Dignity

Cold walls and dark halls
cages for men that could not run
for the jailer knows the plays
and locks em in for days
far from the smile of the sun
some have gone insane
as they rant and scream their names
hoping someone hears them
...but no one came
and some will sit and glare
looking for a light in their despair
but I have found the jailer's keys
and in these walls I roam
singing words of love and care
things they've not been shown
so in these cold walls and dark halls
in cages meant for men
that could not run
yea
locked and kept away
from the smile of the sun
and I release U within me...beyond all...
and the jailer knows the plays and locks em
in for days...far from...
the smile of the sun

Smile Of The Sun

First U left me
then U catch me
but I'm no bird to sing for U
release my wings
from the darkest kings
and the joker
and the fools
yea
well I remember
I do
think I don't well I do
...recognize U
so light ur fires
and drop that noose
cause baby
I'm falling from the stars
yea
that's me
just cut me loose
why don't ya
but U burn me then U turn me
cut me on the ground
place ur boot upon my neck
say you'll see me around
O yea
said you'd catch me
but then U left me...
and I'm no bird to sing for U
release my wings
from the darkest kings
yea...take ur jokers
remove ur fools
cause I remember...yes I do

Release My Wings

I found my peace in the shadow of
the moon...hidden on the dark side
I close my eyes
I dress my wounds
and in the distance there is a screamin
wild horses teamin
drag the splinters of insistence
a chariot spilled admittance
and I see truth
cracked upon a wisdom tooth
extracted from the mouth of the open source
yea and O lord
is that Thoth?
what is the knowledge borrowed
is this...an impetuous sorrow
and do I carry karmic cargo through
the door
blades that wound me
saves the one tree with deepest roots
to a love that's free
cause I found peace in the shadow
of the moon yea
and I'm no fool
I dress my wounds
I close my eyes...to open up my throat
yea...the wisdom of Thoth
cause I found my peace in the 
shadow of the moon
hidden on the dark side

Impetuous Sorrow

Why do I still look for U
in the rooms that sit so empty
and why can I hear my kids
laughing when they play
even though...
they long ago moved away
yea
well I must walk forward
even when I go alone
cause I've still got mistakes and pain
for which I must atone
yea
and so this prayer I wrap in tobacco
and this is what I lay
will U hear me lord
why do they fear me lord
yea
why don't they stay
am I the dragon
breathing fire in the wind
yea
and if I jump from the mountaintop
will I take wing
and so with this prayer
I wrap up in tobacco
and this is what I lay
and will U hear me
why do they fear me lord
why don't they stay
yea
well I must walk forward
even when I go alone
cause I've still got mistakes and pain
for which I must atone
and this is what I lay
will U hear me lord
why do they fear me lord
yea
why don't they stay

I Must Walk

I was told today that I had been the 
devil's prey...
that evil eyes and hexes follow me everywhere everyday
that jobs and friends and money were 
taken by the eye...the eye
of envy jealousy and pride
yea
excuse me queen for ur cup I just 
knocked over
sometimes I go blind
as justice is with lovers
and I extend my grace...if ur ready to face
the judgement U give to others
and have U met my friends
laying on the floor so humble in their
hunger...they gnaw upon the bones
of the multitude by numbers
yea
and some insist that we have souls
but not the beasts or trees or 'others'
but...truth is we are the ether...yea
excuse me queen for ur cup I just 
knocked over
sometimes I go blind
as justice is with lovers
and I extend my grace...if ur ready to face
the judgement U give to others

Humble In Their Hunger

🤟🏼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.
