Can't Get Enough

Oh I Know

Man comes from dust and the dust he will follow
An apple like that is hard to swallow
Man's much more than dust
He's iron and water
He passes them down 
to his son and daughter

An apple's much more than fruit that is free
Flies up from the soil then drops from the tree
Pleasure is found
in its meat and skin
a secret is held 
in the core deep within

A tree is much more than branches and roots
much more than the wood the man comes to loot
Lessons abound
among bark and limbs
memories so sweet 
for the child who climbs

A house is much more than wood under roof
A record of family's falsehoods and truth
Each room has its own
verse and refrain
a hymn to all joys
sorrows and pain

A family's much more than a collection of traits
A mystery shrouded by glances and gates
When huddled together
or shaken apart
each carries the story
deep in their heart

the mystery's more than we've ever known
much deeper than any religion has shown
the ones who go deeper
never take it for granted
They follow the tree
that grows where it's planted


Follow The Tree

Lion Or Gazelle - Poison Berries And Sun

Last Lonely Day

Michael LaBo's Album

I'm Gonna Miss You

This song is called Body. It's a song that personifies envy as a being that manipulates people not with malevolent intent, but rather to teach us to love ourselves instead. Of course loving ourselves is not easy, especially growing up multi-ethnic. When I was younger I never thought about how I looked until people pointed it out to me. Classmates would point out my differences saying that I could pass for white, or that I was trying to hard to be black. Even family referred to me as the albino version of my mother, and commented on my hair, or my weight, making it my worth. When I was in sports and working out I was "too skinny", even though I was healthy. "When I gained some weight" suddenly I was curvy and a girl that boys could find attractive. I didn't know references of women who looked like me and it left me feeling undesirable. Over time I internalized other’s opinions of me and made it my self-worth. In the past, the internalization and unwanted input on my appearance lead me to do some negative things in the hopes of achieving an imaginary goal. Now I know my body's worth more than that, our bodies are worth more than that. 

I wrote this song and made this video with the hope that it might resonate with anyone who has felt like they were not beautiful because of standards of beauty that in reality don't exist.

Viola Davis, and Stacey McKenzie are my idols both are gorgeous women who at one point or another, were around someone who tried to lessen their worth. But because they loved themselves like they needed, we know them as the talented, iconic, successful women they were always meant to be. Why should any of us let our worth be extinguished. For any young boy or girl who feels that they are not enough, you are. You are beautiful and your uniqueness makes you even more so. Even more important, your worth is far greater than what you look like.
