Hey Org,

I've completed my first music project. It's a "resume" of sorts. I have no formal training in anything, but I Wrote, Produced and Performed the entire album.

Please download, listen, and let me know what you think. FYI, the songs are in MP3 format. When I said "High-quality" I was refering to the music which has been professionally mixed/mastered.

Quest

It funny, my procrastination got me pacin’ losin’ patience like a doctor who needs a new occupation. I’m sorry I kept you waitin’ but pressure from all the hatin’ made me leapfrog being good and swan dive right into greatness. Thinking of all the times I told myself that I would make it now that I have arrived I hope you’ll please excuse the lateness, don’t have time to party, party, party get wasted gotta stay focused cannot get complacent. That’s not to imply that I do not like getting’ faded the knowledge level is basic that mary jane and I stay adjacent. When I’m in the basement I burn it to the attic, think of my trips across the Pacific and Atlantic. That’s tight I been around the world and I-I-I stopped in the Netherlands, got my hands on that fi-ire, returned to Maryland took some action I am no liar, some people still talkin’ like they’re wearing a wire. It is my desire to make a splash when I enter the game. It’s Mr. Glass, y’all remember the name and given the chance I could cause a spark inside of your brain, but it’s up to you to kindle the flame. So while I harness energy like a slingshot that’s pulled back others try to block while I hit the gaps like a fullback. Funny thing is they don’t know we on the same team so my enemy’s my friend, man this is one insane dream. But I’ll run the same scheme even if it turns to one versus twenty-one I’ll tuck the ball and keep the crane’s theme. So while you contemplate on what that may mean, I’ma reach the final level like my last name’s Green. Or maybe something proper, call me Grey for the Poupon. I fear for those who want to cut me up like a coupon. They try to snatch me up a lay me out just like a futon or like I was Latino and lost my wallet in Tucson.

Leather

Girl you knew we had just locked eyes, But since your girlfriends was with you, you put your nose up and you tried to just walk on by I called you out to you surprise you took a second look, turned around and told your girlfriends “you need to go find some guys” We hit the bar, the dance floor, then my car I put my hand on your thigh and you said “Boy don’t go too far” I said “We still on Earth and I’m trying to go to Mars. So let me take you to a place where we can be alone and just stare out at the stars and you said…

//Hook// Take off your clothes. Let’s spend some time together baby. Let’s get to know each other better. Let’s rub against the leather baby. Leather… Leather… We can do it rough or smooth just like some Leather… mmm Leather… Which position will you choose?

You said you had to go talk to Tina and Cheryl. You gave them the keys to car and said “Y’all be safe. Y’all should know your way through this world” and it’s on tonight ‘cause you’re the birthday girl and the only present that you need is for your back to arch and after that for your toes to curl. So then we bounced, we walked into my house. I asked you “where’d you get a body like that?” you said you watch what goes in your mouth. And then you stared me down. I said “Without a doubt.” Then I told you “follow me upstairs.” You said “you’re crazy if think we’re going anywhere past this Italian couch.” Then you said…

//Hook (x2)// Take off your clothes. Let’s spend some time together baby. Let’s get to know each other better. Let’s rub against the leather baby. Leather… Leather… We can do it rough or smooth just like some Leather… mmm Leather… Which position will you choose?

Baby girl

This jam right here is like no other. Relax and let it make love to your ears. Just call me Camille’s little brother: emotional enough to shed some tears. Have you ever had another give you feelings so strong that they bleed over to your lover so they ask you what’s wrong, and you just find a place to be alone so you can write a song, because that monkey on your back is King Kong.

//Hook// You’re my baby girl. What if I had tried just a few more advances? You’re my baby girl. We had so many chances to exchange more than glances.

We used to talk on the phone for so long just my baby girl and I in the zone. Any topic didn’t matter nothing ever felt wrong and to this day I can’t believe we never got to your thong. Hour after hour in the bed or on the floor we’d talk about our dreams until we’d start exchanging snores then wake up telling lies like “No… I wasn’t sleep before.” ‘Til we could talk no more (“no, you hang up first”).

//Hook// You’re my baby girl. What if I had tried just a few more advances? You’re my baby girl. We had so many chances to exchange more than glances.

So now we’re both engaged but, alas, it’s not to us should we send each other invitations would we make a fuss the mind is hard to follow but the heart is hard to trust is this love or lust or what? (“or what?”) I love the one I’m with and I’m sure you love your man. I’m happy that we’re happy but it’s not the way I planned I’ve got a baby boy and yes of couse I give a damn but if I had the chance… (“who knows? I’m just sayin’)

//Hook (x2)// You’re my baby girl. What if I had tried just a few more advances? You’re my baby girl. We had so many chances to exchange more than glances.

Think Twice

Lookin’ in your eyes I see you’re somewhere in between someone I would tell the whole world about and Billie Jean That’s right you’re ‘bout to be denied about to get kicked off the team which cuts the roster in half cause it was always just you and me. You used to take me there now you just make me scared I’m really trying to get you off me when I pull your hair you know I’m playing girl but you know what I’m saying girl we both know that this ain’t gon’ work and if you don’t

//Hook// You better think twice about it. I can’t believe you still can’t see that you could never make me play the fool you want me to be. Better think twice about it before playing these games with me. You know you’re a star when you’re in my car but how you gonna shine on your feet? Think Twice…

So now are you about to cry? Are you about to go and make a scene? You bout to work up tears in your eyes and ask me how I could be so mean? Now girl you know I know the game and I can tell when you start to play and since you won’t be playing me tell me what is there left to say? Will you apologize? Or even compromise? Or offer anything besides what’s in between your thighs? Now please don’t get me wrong for we both know that it’s the bomb but if that’s all you have to give then I’ll just have to move along

//Hook ( x2)// You better think twice about it. I can’t believe you still can’t see that you could never make me play the fool you want me to be. Better think twice about it before playing these games with me. You know you’re a star when you’re in my car but how you gonna shine on your feet? Think twice….

Think Twice… You better think twice.

Agnostic Prayer

//Hook// I gotta get away now (They keep holdin’ me). I’d just like to sit by your side if only for a little while. Gotta get away now. That’s the only way I’m gonna survive. (But I’m about to break away).

It’s unfortunate that we’re forced to pretend that we understand what will happen in the midst of the world’s end. That’s if there will an end and if there will be then when? Or will Jesus descend again and walk the earth amongst men and tell us all that we do wrong and even all that we do right and choose his soldiers who will be used for the ultimate fight? It’s hard to know what to believe when we’ve been deceived by preachers and priest who live true lies as pedophiles and thieves.

//Hook// I gotta get away now (They keep holdin’ me). I’d just like to sit by your side if only for a little while. Gotta get away now. That’s the only way I’m gonna survive. (But I’m about to break away).

See you can tell when money’s tight cause the pastor will preach on tithing. When you walk with your head in the clouds be aware of the lightning. It strikes with a fury electrocutes executes with no jury. Youngin’s falling victim lost like little lamb with no mary. You followed your faith and sent your son to confession, which quickly turned to secret meetings to homosexual sessions. These graphic and forceful lyrics shouldn’t contort your spirit, but expose the wrong in religion and yet you still don’t hear it. You need relationship stop going around faking it. If you haven’t heard the voice of God don’t pretend just be patient, shit! I’m sure that when he gets to you he’ll tell you what he needs and if you never hear his voice then think about what you believe. Have you take religion as your decision to live the mission or have you fallen victim to a habitual childhood tradition? Don’t label me atheist because of my level of skepticism. I left religion because of the sinning of those pretending to represent him.

//Hook (x2)// I gotta get away now (They keep holdin’ me). I’d just like to sit by your side if only for a little while. Gotta get away now. That’s the only way I’m gonna survive.

Where Did She Go?

Woke up and you were gone. At least you wrote me a letter admitting you were wrong. You said it wasn’t me and that the problems came from you and that was the first time something from you was so true. You could have said goodbye before you had to leave. But why am I complaining when I finally can breathe? I ran outside a screamed that I finally feel free. And now the only catch it everybody asking me:

//Hook// Where did she go? Where did she go? Like I know. Like I know. They ask me Where did

she Go? Where did she go? Like I know. Like I know and like I give a damn.

Your letter asked me if I’m glad we dated well loving you was like I masturbated. I know it’s mean but I just had to say it, but loves a pick-up game and I just had to play it. Now look how far we’ve come. We did it now we’re done. We had our cake and ate it too oh yes we had big fun. Now it feels like a ton’s been lifted off. The gunman shoots. I start to run right off the track into the sun.

//Hook// Where did she go? Where did she go? Like I know. Like I know. They ask me Where did she Go? Where did she go? Like I know. Like I know and like I give a damn.

Like I give a damn. ( x3)

Alive

Well I just might stay I never thought a girl like you would look my way. It’s the middle of the night but you just made my day I can see it’s gon’ be alright. Oh, is this your song too? I hope it puts you in the mood to do what you want to and if it is my old ways that have kept me from you, my eyes have seen the light. So now I feel just a little bolder so I’m a slide just a little closer because the space that was in between us just didn’t feel so right. Let’s ditch the words and use body language and now let’s strike up a conversation ‘cause I can tell that your eyes are sayin’ “let’s make love tonight.”

//Hook//And if it’s hard for you to see that I want you baby then let me help you open up your eyes. What I feel for you has no if ands or maybes I hope I have the chance to show you why. And if you’re doubting that I want you to be my lady then let me help you get that off your mind I see the way you smile when you call me crazy and baby that just makes me feel alive.

See you’re just my speed. You’re sometime what I want and always what I need. You could make me Superman or you could make me bleed. My heart is in your hands. Just pull it closer to you when you’re having issues and when you cry just let it soak up all those tears like tissues. Tell me of your past pain I swear I’ll give you Silence of the Lambs. And if you meet a storm that you cannot weather reach back and grab my hand we’ll go through this together. ‘Cause let me tell you (as) long as I’m alive you should never feel alone. I hope that we both plan to make each other better and follow that law to the letter and that you could be my queen when I finally take my throne.

//Hook (x2)//And if it’s hard for you to see that I want you baby then let me help you open up your eyes. What I feel for you has no ifs ands or maybes. I hope I have the chance to show you why.

Thanks, Hater

No more excuses. I’m done with apologies. Won’t blame my childhood or the economy. I’m gonna make it. That’s all you really need to know. I couldn’t move they were on top of me. I had to prove there was no stopping me. So I made some room. That’s all I really need to grow. I found my purpose. The whole world’s in front of me. I’ve just scratched the surface of what I could truly be. I won’t lie, I’m nervous, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The try to hurt us, but they have no idea we fight much better when we are feeling fear. They don’t deserve us. What else is left to say? (Well I can think of one more thing)

//Hook// You’re hatin’ is motivation. It’s so blatant, it’s inspiration. And I just thank you for helping me become me. You’re hatred it keeps me movin’. It’s all up from here, won’t be no losin’. So I

just thank you for helpin’ me become free.

I’m on a mountain and you can’t knock me off. Are you my cherry? Are you gonna top me off? If not, then move ‘cause I got a lot of things to do. So am I all of what you thought I’d be? No I’m much more don’t try to front on me. You thought I’d fall and that proves you have no clue. I got the call and I’ve been validated. Which is to say that I’m so glad you hated. I started behind but graduated ahead of you. So let me be. No need to start a fuss. I’m ‘bout to leave so come stand where I was. Now wiggle your toes. You feel that space? That means you can’t fill my shoes. (And let me tell you one more thing)

//Hook (x2)// You’re hatin’ is motivation. It’s so blatant, it’s inspiration. And I just thank you for helping me become me. You’re hatred it keeps me movin’. It’s all up from here, won’t be no losin’. So I just thank you for helpin’ me become free.

Thank you, hater…

MIRACLES

I see light from the horizon but I can’t see the sun. Tell me what you want me to do for you. I need a miracle. Look at your friends you know that there’s one that’s struggling to find what they’re living for. They need a miracle. Were still living under rules influenced by some, who really weren’t sure the earth was spherical. We need a miracle. I reached out to music late and just did it for fun. I started writing less than a year ago. Ain’t that a miracle? (I guess I got that)

//Hook// Magic: using my intuition to see reality and show my ambition. Suffer the consequences. Work towards my liberation then gain my education. And make that separation. And become majesty using my influence to offer reassurance with my affluence. And show my confidence, but show no limitation. It’s more than entertainment. It’s more like scintillation.

I heard you say that I’m ok, but I’m not really the one as if I have something to prove to you. You need a miracle. No need for the bombs. No need for the guns. My arsenal’s harmonic and lyrical. I’m trying to make miracles. The pressure of life weighs a couple of tons. Just push with all your might when it gets to you and you’ll see a miracle. I know that you’re down but soon we’re gonna run. I’m lookin’ hard and I see no fear in you. You are a miracle. (I guess you got that)

//Hook// Magic. So use your intuition to see reality display your ambition. Accept your consequences. Work towards your liberation then gain your education. Then make that separation. And become majesty and use your influence to offer reassurance through your affluence. And show your confidence, but show no limitation. It’s more than entertainment. It’s more like scintillation.

(M) Magic, (I) Intuition, (R) Reality, (A) Ambition, (C) Consequences, (L) Liberation, (E) Education, (S) Separation, (M) Majesty, (I) Influence, (R) Reassurance, (A) Affluence, (C) Confidence, (L) Limitation, (E) Entertainment, (S) Scintillation.

Feel it

I need to know if you can feel it. Let me know if you feel it. Let me know if you feel it. I need to know if you can feel it…..
