Go Time (Obama '09)

For such a time as this we sit with weighted breath, bated breath
Some tried to wait but they had nothing left
So with their final breath they whispered for change
Now we sit on the cusp of change
Some are ready to light their crosses, bring back their hoods, and fan the flames

I said we sit on the cusp of change we've been down that dark road before and they're going to try to beat us with canes, I said the dying whisper for change
Much like Gandalf, I command the demons of hate to go back from whenst you came
There will be change, whether if it's with a black or white name
This is why we play the game
This game called Democracy
Or deal more crisis you see but when will you all see
If there's never a different face how can we truly test this thing called Democracy

Today I've decided to move my belongings on top of a mountain far away from here
A mountain where streams, rivers, ships, and hopes all draw near
A mountain where there air is so clear, too clear to ever be polluted
The astute find there are no absolutes so they themselves fail
So today I've chosen to set sail rather than run
I'll be the first to circumvent the sun
These words are meant to hit and then cause your thoughts to run

Are you too ashamed to possibly let it be
Maybe you too can't see, blinded by what others consider to be true reality

But me I've moved my belongings to another shore
A shore where color won't matter anymore
A shore that doesn't border these sin-filled, man-made waters
I've been given my marching orders
Looking ahead I see the faces of hatred's sons and daughters
I apologize but I can't sit and drink with you because I've imposed my own Jim Crow
Now it's time for me to go and go I will because I must
As I look around I don't believe it's only one man who's trying to take away "In God We Trust"

One of the greatest nights... EVER!

All I have to say is...

And so it was...

Polar Bear

100 watts

I'm standing here on the corner of love and hate

I'm standing here, hoping that you'll soon show your face

Man, you know how I hate to wait but wait, you're worth the wait

Sometimes I stay up late, with hopes of simply seeing your face

But I still have yet to be blessed with a glimpse

So I attempt to take my own glimpse into the future and all I see

Is the future, clouded but with a light...

I pray you're the one who has flipped the switch...

Little Pencils

You say, you've never seen me write
Well, I've been writing on your heart-strings now for way too long
You've just been too busy to ever pay me any mind
So I'll continue to write in silence

You say you've never heard me sing
I guess you haven't listened to the wind as blows by your windowsill
Gently whispering your name....

"Hi, welcome to my home, my heart, I'm glad you decided to stop in."

Flash

It’s complicated, what I’m feeling right now
It’s complicated, what I’d like to say because I don’t know how
There’s this sense of simplicity and complexity all wrapped up into one
There’s no feeling of warmth because the sun has gone off on the run

There’s a melody which I’d like to hum
But I can’t, I can’t…
I can’t put my lips together right now, due to the fact my thoughts are too cold
The words which come to mind are to bold, so I neatly fold them away in order to be used at a later date

I saw you today, I saw you…
Years ago I lost me in order to find you
I’ve searched seemingly, ever corner of the Earth in order to find you
And man, I think I just saw you, damn, I found you…

I’ve been built up, stripped down
My knowledge has been increased only to let me dummy it down
I’ve gone from lookin’ like a mime, only to be turned into a clown
There once was smile on my face but now there only exists some crazy lookin’ frown

If I could do this all over again, I’d sing
I’d sing a tune which would cause the world to tune in
Let this begin or stop
My thoughts they rise and then they drop
A daydreamer who daydreams in the middle of the night
Why fight, my face is now exposed to the light
Bright
Just like the future….

Evading em'

One glock, tick tock, lookin' down can't stop

Watching time stride by, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

My thoughts they're cocked bang, bang I've got

Somethin' hot, two shots warm like butter

Aimin' at your dome, no need to utter random stuff

You've said too much bang, bang...

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Mothers cry on blocks wishin' that their fallen seeds would grow

Fathers slang rocks in hopes that their seeds won't know

Some pack rocks, some pack snow

The sun is gone, no more glow

Some pack water, some pack rockets

Even when they take their hands out of their pockets

They can't stop the water or the rockets

Dead on arrival stuffed into the coroner's white zip-locked jackets

Tell me what you see

I see the dead all around me bye, bye, bye, bye

One glock, tick tock, lookin' down can't stop

Watching time stride by, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

My thoughts they're cocked bang, bang I've got

Somethin' hot, two shots warm like butter

Aimin' at your dome, no need to utter random stuff

You've said too much bang, bang...

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
