Acception

It's extremely difficult to stay positive, almost like trying to be straight acting or closeted, why is it easier to find a married guy with children to cheat, then finding a good decent masculine gay guy to go on a date with me, it's pretty disgusting and revolting, how it's ok to see breeders fucking but not homo bros hand holding, never mind public displays of affection, I'm waiting to be condemned to the faggot section, i wonder what my scarlet letter is, perhaps they'll tie me down and force me to have kids, i still don't understand why what I do in the bedroom is anyone's business, cum guzzling is puzzling I'm wondering does anyone like the taste of gizz, most girls hate giving blow jobs, i love teasing edging it and polishing that nob, chastity fixes any lazy ass misogynistic narcisistic slob, their release dependant upon pleasing u and doin a good job, have u had ur homosexual cherry popped, never knock something u haven't tried, coming out was like Jesus resurrecting after he died, I'm a brand new person, and really dont give a flying fuck if u like the updated version, this is me, I'm happy, if ur not...make a change, explore more of the perplexing and strange, unfamiliar territory can be dicey and scary, but u should never ever ever hate or fear me!

Damn Temper Tantrums

Enough with the anger and temper tantrums, it's childish and neither sexy nor handsome, I've gotten so wrapped up in my future destiny, i let living in my past get the best of me, meanwhile had i just been present and alert, perhaps all the failed high expectations wouldn't hurt, i get that people are only human, but when they consistently don't follow thru and, ur bored left alone to ur own devices, that's when I go overboard on one of my favorite vices, life is much more fun stoned, course there's always good ole fashioned boning or getting boned, no matter what I'm ultimately responsible, holding myself accountable is adult like and honorable, but where's the checks and balances for those in power, will we awaken before the toll of the final hour, the more darkness that corrupts and ensues, makes u vulnerable confused and its way easier to choose, the blatantly ignorant lies told by fox news, when both justice and truth are abused and skewed...we all lose!

Letting Go Being Strung Along

For over a year u strung me along and wasted my time, told me u cldn't but started a family of ur own leaving me bleeding behind, let's meet for coffee first have a 420 sesh or beer, not as atrocious as lying but omitting what u share, is such a politician's manipulating move, i have no sympathy or pity for u when they revolted and cooed, can boowhoo while i poo poo u, cuz ur a neglectful abusive fool dude, I have no consideration for hating discriminating nor ur disrespect, i don't give a fuck if u r the president elect, i didn't vote for u just cuz ur the lesser of two evils, I'm not like all these yng numb dumb robotic slave like people, narcisistic illiterate egoistic hypocrites thinking they're better than anyone else, can't wait for trophies to validate and replace the blank space on my shelves, we definitely need to breathe and simply ask for help, the worst judge and critic's still gotta be myself, eliminating regrets the best astonishing and thrilling, the feeling of finishing an accomplishment is so fulfilling, I'll surely succeed not out of greed or spite, but cuz i wisened up and just let u go from my consciousness/life!

Faith Keeps Us Safe

Lately I've been learning to love life, trying harder to be thankful and appreciative making it thru another night, waking up and taking that first breath of the day, reminds me to focus my energy in a calm composed way, u see people can be evil spreading so much hatred, altho I only see the best in everyone and belive they're good natured, perhaps they're just goin thru difficult times, and when it comes to expressing themselves maybe they are shy mimes, with the inability to talk or speak, ignorance and miscommunication is what makes our species weak, on top of lacking sympathy empathy and compassion, the only action is when there's a fire lit under their ass and, it's punishment time which includes whippings and lashings, ur ass will be red as hell and the pain will be long lasting, better that tho than being crucified like Jesus, we need a better Avenue to resolving grievances, besides if I were tied to a cross I'd probably pop wood, losing control can absolutely positively feel real good, i mean isn't that what religion teaches us...to have faith, if u listen to and follow ur heart and gut...He will always keep us safe!

Window Shopping Love

No u don't get to window shop my heart, try me on and see if everyone thinks we are good for each other or not, so to prove ur love, everyday I want u to hit me up, whether a text or a call, i need to know ull be there if I fall, this once a week or month crap, instigates my condescending sarcastic laugh, if u can't make any regular room or time for me, i will not just give u all my best blindly for free, reciprocity is critical and crucial, one way relationships are abusive non conducive and brutal, they can ruin a person's self esteem confidence value and/or worth, do u only become a man marrying a woman who gives birth, the thought of procreating in an overpopulated world makes me unnerved, what's better to have length or girth, i think what's most important is if it's straight or curved, sometimes with roadblocks and obstacles u have to hurdle or swerve, everything happens for a reason tho, there really is no need to compromise or settle u know bro, many men are incapable of changing but can grow, please don't stoop low and hookup with just any random pro hoe, god loves to bestow lessons like u reap what u sow!

Planet Earth Needs A Rebirth

With all these gmos and bpas, our government's killing us and turning men gay, some plastics contain this alternate form of estrogen, why isn't it regulated or banned then, cuz scientific research was doctored and falsified, big corporations bribed trying to get scientists to lie, as if putting fluoride in our water wasn't enough, where do they come up with this mind control stuff, making us docile and complacent, nowadays the amount of misinformation is atrocious and blatant, even the media is becoming much more controlled, eradicating newspapers journalism integrity and has taken our music's soul, what set us humans apart, was we had both smarts and hearts, but business has somehow changed this, seems making money is the only way to achieve happiness and bliss, truth and facts are under attack, unfortunately there's no goin back, I'm extremely worried our future looks bleak, i wish our economy wld collapse worse than Greece, perhaps bartering will make us reevaluate what we value and has worth, planet earth is in serious need of a rebirth!

The Power Of Words

I often forget the power of words, they can cut u down which hurts worse, than Prometheus' curse being pecked by birds, within us all both good and evil lurks, perhaps we were both jerks, i really am sorry and apologize, I want to wipe away these tears I've cried, but i can't hide my reddened eyes, seems I've lost another friend, and I have no idea how to heal and mend, I've always admitted im far from perfect, what's so wrong with me im not worth it, am I not worthy of forgiveness and unconditional love, let's not say anything else and just hug, it's sad for sure when a gay icon dies, but it's even more shameful when our chosen families divide, until we all are united as one, my work here is far from done!

Angel Of Death

I know at times I'm intense and dramatic, aren't geminis by nature extreme and spastic, don't understand then why so many are shocked by this, r they just ignoring me or is it ignorance, sexism and racism are like oranges and apples, they're two different types of the same thing it's not that hard to grapple, hate is hate it's never right to oppress or discriminate, the real question is do u believe in free will/manifest destiny or a preslated fate, is it possible to be a random combination of both, i suppose it's not something meant for us mere human mortals to know, perhaps it's more than we can understand and handle, i fear the end of days is near and all will come undone and get dismantled, only after complete destruction can we begin again, i have faith we Phoenixly rise from the ashes cuz spirit's can, death often leaves lingering angels hovering and haunting family and friends, u can see if u truly believe u just need to free ur mind and let ur perception bend!

Hip Hop Heart

What do I do now, I keep wondering how, did things get so screwed up, ironically finally found love, looks like ill have to leave my heart and my man, here in san fran ... damn, its hard to fathom and understand, the divine hands plan, still just so confused, which path to choose, since I can't have my cake and eat it too, either way somehow I lose, and u can't elude that truth, I miss the days of my youth, when things were hella stellar and terrific, naive and simplistic, while these days I've turned pessimisticly jaded, gotten aggravated by all the hatred that's accumulated, being falsely persecuted and adjudicated, I'm usually rudely debated, as truly intuitively abrasive, with bone chillingly rough edges, overzealous in exploring crevices, even reaching the ones that are the deepest, kept hidden in whisperings and secrets, I made up my mind quite a while back, I gave my heart to making quality poetic hip hop and rap!!!!

Gay Culture

I'm so over gay culture, y'all a bunch of vultures, drunk skunks, anxious to stick their dick in my trunk, my fetish is intimacy, u not being able to read me's called illiteracy, I'm nothing like, ur stereotypes, ur perpetuating reputation genocide, when u lie or tend to hide, ur true sexual identity, nobody's better than me, cuz we were all created equal, just fallible people, experiencing struggles nobody else knows, blind and ignorant to the path u think we chose, always on the defensive, our acting ability's extensive, creating complex webs, to protect what goes on in my bed, I will not be boxed and labeled, I'm perfectly capable and abled, to do or be, something u didn't expect or see, I'm an original individual, who's mission it is to be positive and pivotal, in bringing back, that old school classic hip hop and rap, but the road will be hard and long, especially since I'm the gay white underdog!!!!

#‎problemsoftheindebtunemployedpoor

Got a lot to be grateful for, yet I'm still super depressed and bored, constantly looking for more, u know...to score, but in RI I can't even find a kinky whore, without gap teeth or some sort of a shady cold sore, nor do I have the luck to find an undercover homo bro at the grocery store, guess I'll go get baked and contemplate my life's fate down by the shore, I've got great legs and face but still working on my core, which can no longer be ignored, when it rains tho it pours, just wanna go back on tour, instead of struggling suffering thru financial war, my windows closed so where's my door, when will I fly high and soar, become a big household name like Thor, finding a bill paying job or career is such a chore, much more gruesome/vulgar than blood and gore, I'm constantly forced to endure, like I was tied up forced to drink and swallow it thru a straw, ‪#‎problemsoftheindebtunemployedpoor‬!!!

PTown Revisited

On my way back to ptown, my initial visit was beautifully profound, it just has such positive vibes, so why not at least give it a second try, let's see what happens, I do love nomadically traveling, meeting all sorts of people, from the poor ghettos to the lavish/regal, to me everybody is equal, im so non judgmental, def multifaceted not one dimensional, lyrically incredible, being gay makes me existential and special, cuz I'm able to be relatable, making conservative republicans more liberal and changeable, at least on social issues, enough with this obnoxious ostricism prison misuse and abuse, focused on punishment instead of rehabilitating, fuck acceptance they're barely empathetically tolerating, maybe they've been consumed by jealousy and envy from failed dreams, it seems I never get picked to be apart of the smart succesful cool teams, always wind up written off, the overlooked underdog, who was self made proclaimed and taught, but I can't figure out how to gain recognition and fame, become critically acclaimed, its hard balancing family friends and fans, on top of tryin finding a man, plus working at some corporate job I can't stand, I often wonder if I even stood a chance, god laughs when we expect to control our own life and plans, forget like the song says he's got the whole world in his hands, but whats just down right naively stupid and silly, is when humans place blame on him pawning off all responsibility and accountability, nothings for free, ain't worth shit if it comes easy, remember u gotta work hard for the money...hunny!

Executioner Judge & Jury (Jure-Ree)

Sometimes people (including me) forget the power of words, but lack of action hurts worse, I can't pretend and flash my precious pearly whites, getting out of bed depressed every day is a fight, ‪#‎lolsmhfml‬ means laugh out loud shake my head fuck my life, salty tears stream religiously down from my numb chinky eyes, commence the omgs shocked gasps or laughs like it's a surprise, I've been crying for days for help, when I just want to be able to help myself, what's the point of having these musical gifts, when the reality of life is no one could give two shits, even if I believe in me actually achieving my seemingly big impossible dream, only selling out stadiums and winning that coveted grammy means, I'm worthy of people's money respect and attention, u haven't been in the presence of me performing I'm betting then, cuz if u had ud already undoubtedly know, I may look like ur short bald average Joe, but I'm an absolutely amazingly talented lyrical genius, I'm so not a narcisist overly cocky nor conceited, pretty much just a genuinely good honest hard working guy, i take pride in performing on stage but off i try to remain humbly grateful and of course high, I'm both an activist and a humanitarian, my tastes are extremely eclectic and varying, I'm non conforming and antagonizingly ignoring any and all authority, who made anyone including me u or Judy executioner judge and jury?!?

5 New Songs For Second Album

What's the deal everybody? I know it has been forever since I've updated my blog.  Wish I had more exciting news regarding a record contract or any leads to new production/recording people so instead 5 new songs will have to do lol.  Right now I'm trapped again in lil Rhodey slaving away barely making any money.  As many of u already know and heard my song "Shine Thru" was the first new song off my second album,  then I wrote "Prayer Of A Rap Soldier", next came "Please Believe In Me", I also finally finished up a song started in SF called "One Love One Heart", and I literally just completed the final touches on "That's Life".  So far "Shine Thru" has gotten phenomenal feedback from performing it for the past few months."POARS" has also received warm reception from the handfull of times performed, "PBIM" has only been successfully done once with a few mistakes so I look forward to getting better.  "OLOH" is memorized and ready to be performed however I'd like to find a rocker to sing on this track with me. "TL" is written and timing finalized just needs to be memorized!  Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone who has supported me and I hope u all will continue to as I need ur help now more than ever! If u can't help me financially at least give me a compliment, smoke me out or buy me a drink lol! Better yet tell someone else about me! Lets keep hip hop alive!

Keep Holding On

Beat by Chris Jones

Produced by Adam Pfeffer, Mike J. Brown and Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Lyrics and vocals by Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Featuring chorus vocals sung by Teresa Perry

Recorded at The Forge Studios

Verse

Society has set standards that are much too high

They’re like unattainable stars in the sky

Making and creating these unfulfilled dreams

The regret kills my pride and self esteem

Every single goal that I don’t achieve

Is another reason not to believe in me

I feel like a worthless waste of space

My faith states gays are an utter disgrace

And no matter how hard I try

I’m ultimately still being defined by

My features or characteristics

I think this world’s filled with a bunch of frickin’ hypocrites

Caught up concerned with mistakes I’ve made

Quick to pass judgment upon me and say

What I’m allowed or can’t do

Despite they’re the fools

Doing the exact same crap too

Don’t anybody really have a clue

So I’m through

Listening conditioning myself in a position

To fit their vision

And prove I’m pleasing enough of love from all of you

Chorus

Though I know

It’s hard to get far

Stay strong

Keep holding on

Verse

Why does it matter what sex I preference

Let me be a positive role model to reference

The harsh reality

Is homosexuality

Cannot be helped or fixed

You got to take the perspective of what if it’s your kid

Would you not love them anymore

Object neglect don’t protect the precious blessed child you bore

That’s some deep seeded evil at the core

It shouldn’t matter that I like guys

We definitely do need to realize

What goes on behind closed doors is none of anyone’s business

Doesn’t prevent you from finding happiness or bliss

So stop trying to cock block mine

True love is impossible to find

No matter if you got syphilis

Or you’re indigenous to being underprivileged

Superstitious and suspicious of the vicious maliciousness

Of the insidious over religious and prestigious

Absolutely no human being is perfect

Everybody deserves it and is worth it

Give another a hug

Help a mother or brother out when things get tough

Now that’s what’s up ...

Can I get a hell yeah

Chorus

Though I know

It’s hard to get far

Stay strong

Keep holding on

Verse

Y’all don’t even know the half of it

I never asked for this

It’s no like I chose to be gay

I must’ve just of been born that way

Had absolutely no control

A homosexual ghost stole my soul

I trust that my guts and instincts

Could care less what the majority thinks

Revolutionarily carve your own path

Attack and don’t look back

Pave a new original new way

Don’t let other people dictate your fate

Or listen to what they have to say

Most are consumed with envy and hate

The reliable undeniable truth

Is that the power lies within you

Confidence will come too

By weathering the same love struggle we all have to go through

When at times you’re tired and things get rough

You’ve fallen but can’t get up

Grab a hold of my musical hand tight

I promise everything’s going to be alight

Have a little faith and pray

Tomorrow’s going to come and it’s just got to be a brighter day

Chorus

Even though I know

It’s hard to get far

You got to stay strong

Keep holding on…

Stay strong

Hold on…

You got to keep holding on

Queers Forever

Beat by Brandon West

Produced by Mike J. Brown and Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Lyrics and vocals by Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Recorded at The Forge Studios

Verse

Can you tell me what the fuck is up

With hating on gay love

Today it seems gays

Are modern day slaves

Still no marriage equality

‘Cause of Christian conservatives probably

Oh yo wait I say shut your face

Isn’t there a separation of church and state

It shouldn’t even be legally up for a debate

Taking away the right

Do you believe you might

Dissuade or save

Someone becoming gay

When will you learn you just don’t turn that way

Chorus

Queers are everywhere and’ll be here forever

Why don’t gays and straights unite to fight together

It’ll help make this world a better place

Also a safe haven for any religion or race

Eradicate hate

Don’t discriminate

Aren’t all people

Created equal

Yes it’s true you ignorant fools

Even us fags deserve marriage the right to say I do too

Verse

Done being burned

I hate having to wait my turn

Love’s a universal term

That I yearn to earn

And hope that someday

Hate may fade away

So sexuality scales shade gray

Chorus

Queers are everywhere and’ll be here forever

Why don’t gays and straights unite to fight together

It’ll help make this world a better place

Also a safe haven for any religion or race

Eradicate hate

Don’t discriminate

Aren’t all people

Created equal

Yes it’s true you ignorant fools

Even us fags deserve marriage the right to say I do too

Verse

DC had its first ever gay pride

Don’t ask don’t tell finally died

New York and a hand full of states

Have already paved the way

It’s pretty evident

When our president’s setting precedents 

Showing his support

 A constitutional ruling may actually come down from the supreme court

Isn’t love a god given natural right

Worth waiting for so I keep my hole tight

Might claw kick you in the balls or bite

I ain’t no pussy sissy bitchy queen too afraid to fight

Why can’t you listen

To my interesting, gesturing opinion

I’m not fibbing

If you keep fucking me without me given permission

And think sexuality’s a voluntary decision

Boy naive assumption has gotten you imprisoned  

Seriously you’re clearly lacking common sense knowledge and wisdom

Chorus

Queers are everywhere and’ll be here forever

Why don’t gays and straights unite to fight together

It’ll help make this world a better place

Also a safe haven for any religion or race

Eradicate hate

Don’t discriminate

Aren’t all people

Created equal

Yes it’s true you ignorant fools

Even us fags deserve marriage the right to say I do too

Verse

This is a pivotal election

Tell me who’s interests are protecting

Choosing the Mormon over the half black’s

Taking two steps back

Stock market’ll crash

A world economy collapse

As we fall for the same old traps

Proving the fact

We’re masochistic saps

Running over hurdles in circles

Like dogs chasing tail

If acceptance’s graded I’d have to say we failed

Chorus

Queers are everywhere and’ll be here forever

Why don’t gays and straights unite to fight together

It’ll help make this world a better place

Also a safe haven for any religion or race

Eradicate hate

Don’t discriminate

Aren’t all people

Created equal

Yes it’s true you ignorant fools

Even us fags deserve marriage the right to say I do too

Uncensored Concentrated Depth

Beat by Phineas Maphet

Produced by Adam Pfeffer, Mike J. Brown and Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Lyrics and vocals by Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Recorded at The Forge Studios

Verse

People are ambivalent to criticism

Consumed by utter embolism

Bitterness and cynicism

We achieve fruition

When you believe it’s you who makes the decision

To seek knowledge instead of accepting limits

Falling for fake and false promises gimmicks and tricks

While you use the excuse censorship protects the kids

The unfortunate harsh reality is

Guns bombs and knives take lives

Deceptive overprotective parents try to hide their child’s eyes

Constantly compromise and tell white lies

Which will be their demise

‘Cause they can’t see the truth

Words become weaponous tools

Letting them hurt you fool

When they’re used to spew skewed views

Abuse or confuse and screw the rules

What’s historically true could all be a ruse

Messages got mixed up through telephoned news

Astute youths will turn to prudes

When they’re consumed with booze

Cruel dudes who feud to exude buffoon goons

Too cool for school

Will lose out on a solid education

Have no chance to advance or enhance a reformation

Translating misinformation

Don’t align adjacent

Keeping their minds vacant

Quiet and complacent

Totally incapable of solving an equation

Favoring blaming and debating

What I’m saying

Is the correlation

Making and perpetuating hating

Violence and discriminating

Quit bitching fiction and complaining

By exaggerating you’re creating the fraying

Fading and decaying

I’m done sitting silent and waiting

Can’t we rise to the occasion

Use our brains and start elevating

Chorus

I’m a bit concerned

That we’ll never learn

To take our turn

We all get burned

But you shouldn’t give up

On dreams or love

Please understand

We’re just man

Reap what you sow

But there’s no control

So go with the flow

No one knows

What the future holds

Are we inept

To comprehend intellect and depth

Verse

I’m feeling conceiving human beings

Ever seeing logic and reasoning’s

Fleeing and fleeting

People are bleeding

For love a hug

But not from sluts or shmucks

Deception’s infecting

Plaguing our perception

Exemption’s a manmade invention

Erections like intentions

Paving the gold roads to hell

But oh well I thought you could tell

We’re too scared of wisdom

We won’t listen

Lacking the vision life’s mission’s

All about ambition

The desire to inspire

Keep reaching higher

Helping others aspire

To not fuel the fire

Embrace imperfection

Greet failure as a blessing

This incessant testing is festering

Messing with the lessons

Taught in adolescence

I still feel a presence

Mustn’t confess then

Every time I look in the mirror

I see things clearer

But my reflection seems to be getting inferior

Too old and hairier

Colder and scarier

I’m daring ya

To pray for a day

Enlightenment can find the way

To the forefront

I’m done hun

With everyone else’s opinions

Good riddens

Fuck focusing on what’s forbidden

And the prison system

Where they’re exhaustingly persistent

On us being trained

To stay and maintain the same

Don’t change

Remain restrained tame and conditioned

It’s sickening disciplining victims

Aren’t we all originally born with sin

Why won’t anyone admit

This bullshit that won’t quit

Is leaving me forced to legitimately spit this

Chorus

I’m a bit concerned

That we’ll never learn

To take our turn

We all get burned

But you shouldn’t give up

On dreams or love

Please understand

We’re just man

Reap what you sow

But there’s no control

So go with the flow

No one knows

What the future holds

Are we inept

To comprehend intellect and depth

Verse

You know I’ve come to learn that with words

It’s all how you use them

Really they’re just a bunch of letters put together

I’m sorry for all you kids and hypocrites

But this is some real shit

And I refuse to censor my lyrics

So you’ll actually get to listen to and here this

I mean really

You shouldn’t fear swears

They do emote the truth

Your Loss

Lyrics and vocals by Joe “Conscious” Vacca

Recorded at The Forge Studios

Intro

Oooohhhhh it’s your loss your loss your loss

Oooohhhhh it’s your loss your loss your loss

Verse

Cant withstand

Man’s damn demand

To lend non fans

A helping hand

Pour more pieces of my heart out for free

Amateurs go pro ‘cause they’re mastered down digitally

Messing with inflection then they’re leveling tone

Auto tuning humans into monotone drones

I’m constantly told

The ultimate goal’s

To fit that certain perfect mold

Transform your image

Into a marketable gimmick

Throw out your morals and ethics

Doesn't pay being empathetic

Speak up rebel

It’ll lead u to hell

My main memories

Are of bullies and enemies

The way they behaved

Portrayed paved and made

The polite nice guy I am today

The road they chose

Show how not to go

Be bold cope and hope

To finally succeed in reaching my goal

Put an album out that’s dope

So the whole globe knows me

An average Joe ain’t no OG

Backed by neat beats

Banging but discreet

Letting lyrics lead

Pains and dismays me that we

Perhaps have to part

Two broken hearts

Each on a journey to learn the arts

Chorus

Bring back that old school style

I’ll make it worth your while

To take a little time

And listen to my rhymes

‘Cause each damn line

From beginning to end

Will woo u to redo the experience again and again

Take a little trip down memory lane

Before the game changed

And music became

All about obtaining fortune and fame

Where’d the soul go

It got sold for dough

Lost rhythm and flow

Hip hop’s hit its new low

Please stop teasing

Appeasing to greed and

Not appealing to feelings

Penning more sing along songs with meaning

And if you’re not jiving

With my vibe then

It’s your loss your loss your loss

Ohhhh its your loss your loss your loss

Verse

I’m simply a genuine

Non a feminine gentleman

Critically literally one of the few who

Pitifully still applies chivalry

Foreplay’s great for romancing

Miss intimate slow dancing

It’s guido suave an Italian stallion

Who’s passionate and valiant

Likes to dress up

No need for jeans tees or Uggs

Goal oriented and driven

Not naive but forgiving

Believes in reprieves and second chances

Quarreling over making mistakes enhances

Chances your relationships

Hit blips and slips

I love to collabo

Though wishes and dreams aren’t defacto

Don’t be silly

Peeps are prone to fallibility

Rather be defined by how we rise

Like tides

Lots of lows and highs

That can never forever stabilize

I've realized

That the horizon line

Recedes as we approach

 Some guys vibe and connect better together while others just don’t

Projects fail

Or often get derailed

Due to lacking passion action and effort

Haven’t modern artists turned generically stepford

Hicks got stuck in the sticks or abyss

Quick to dismiss

Thinking ignorance is bliss

Another superficial bitch

Faking facades of glamour and glitz

Then beg and plead to achieve happiness

Don’t need shticks

‘Cause God’s given me this gift

To fix music’s shift or rift

Equipped with insatiable relateable debatable fables

Hailed timeless classics like Cain and Able tales

Chorus

Bring back that old school style

I’ll make it worth your while

To take a little time

And listen to my rhymes

‘Cause each damn line

From beginning to end

Will woo u to redo the experience again and again

Take a little trip down memory lane

Before the game changed

And music became

All about obtaining fortune and fame

Where’d the soul go

It got sold for dough

Lost rhythm and flow

Hip hop’s hit its new low

Please stop teasing

Appeasing to greed and

Not appealing to feelings

Penning more sing along songs with meaning

And if you’re not jiving

With my vibe then

It’s your loss your loss your loss

Ohhhh it’s your loss your loss your loss

Ohhhh it’s your loss your loss your loss

Your loss

Chorus

Why oh why … why oh why

Why oh why do they lie it’ll be alright

Why oh why’s there so much pain and strife

Why oh why oh why I guess that just must be life

Verse

Every day I awake with a headache

It’s the same ole shit but it’s a different day

Can’t catch a break

From all these liars and fakes

Damn it … I just can’t stand it

To be evilly skeevy needy and greedy

Believe me is easy

Misery always loves company

It ain’t even funny

How some be only hungry for money

Instead of spreading the wealth

Doesn’t everybody need a little help

Now and then

Thank the lord for my family and friends

When the chips were down I was about to bow out

They let me vent gave me the strength to bout

Taught to hold my head high and proud

Live the gay lifestyle right out loud

Fuck dark clouds and self-doubt

Being well-endowed with a mouth

Gives me the choice to use my voice and shout

Chorus

Why oh why … why oh why … oh why

Why oh why do they lie it’ll be alright

Why oh why’s there so much pain and strife

Why oh why oh why I guess that just must be life

Verse

Tired of ignorant feeble people

Still living medieval

Adults telling kids

That’s the way it is

Having a degree’s very necessary

There are careers in law war or hair

But pursuing music dear

Won’t get u anywhere

Only a few peeps succeed

This world’s ruled by greed

And dough don’t grow on trees

Paying bills means

No time for pipe dreams

It’s wants vs. needs

Chorus

Why oh why … why oh why … oh why

Why oh why do they lie it’ll be alright

Why oh why’s there so much pain and strife

Why oh why oh why I guess that just must be life

Why oh why … why oh why … oh why

Why oh why do they lie it’ll be alright

Why oh why’s there so much pain and strife

Why oh why oh why I guess that just must be life

Verse

Our government’s repugnant

Bunch of posing pretenders

With hidden agendas

Lying conniving to gain power

Use abuse and seduce us to cower

A double headed monster

Dividing to conquer and prosper

Masking attacking

Distracting us from asking

Are elections rigged

Will the economy be fixed

What if it can’t be

Are human pollution solutions just fantasy

Verse

Why oh why … why

Why oh why do they lie it’ll be alright

Why oh why’s there so much pain and strife

Why oh why oh why I guess that just must be life

Verse

I know you wanna

Come take a toke of some marijuana

Heard it referred as herb ganja green grass nug or bud

Lifting everybody up

And creates great hippy dippy love

There’s nothing like a free hug

Let’s just get waaaaay … baked

Stoned zooted or high

While taking a hot box ride

A lil good ole fashion fun in the sun

Alll the windows down just cruising around

Jamming out to empirical spiritual hip hop that’s lyrical deep and profound

Talking about real hot topics

Inspirational yet conscious

On a whole higher level raising the bar

While my style’s setting standards and pars

Don’t mind being a muse

If it gets rap back on track to its activist roots

Inject and infuse shitty abuse ive gone thu and use it

To make more suitable beautiful music

Giving a voice to the oppressed

Like Mary Jane does best

Spices life up and zests

An electric epic eclectic

Reflective perspective

Not too cheesy  or preachy let u be the judge

State truths you decide what’s fair and just

Chorus

Come take a high ride with me

We’ll smoke some weed

Have your body grove and move to the beat

You’ll be clapping and tapping your feet

Have u feeling so sweet … baby

Come take a high ride with JC

Verse

There’s so many medicinal purposes

Pot suppresses wretched vices and urges

Bet it reduces effects

Of Anorexia Tourette’s

Parkinson’s posttraumatic stress

Didn’t even mention

How MJ’s a blessing for depression

Not a cure fix or answer

Though dope does provide relief from cancer

Eczema arthritis even epilepsy

Migraine pain ain’t getting the better of me

If I can’t sleep I reach for tree

Hemp also has industrial uses

Environmentally friendly instead of abusive

Includes fuel biodegradable paper and plastics

Textiles too which is fanfuckintastic

Could prove to be of use making the economy elastic

To realize that dream we’d need to legalize and tax it    

A drastic decision

Potentially emptying our overcrowded prisons

Smoking may make people feeble

But not evil

It isn’t worse than coffee cigarettes or booze

Overworking eating too much food

No real reason or excuse

Why you refuse

To acknowledge your faulty logic

Most try it by college

Chorus

Come take a high ride with me

We’ll smoke some weed

Have your body groove and move to the beat

You’ll be clapping and tapping your feet

Have u feeling so sweet … baby

Come take a high ride with JC

Verse

Research has hurt chronic’s image

Biasing more laws for sure outdated and vintage

No study indicates cheeba’s deadly

It’s 2012 decriminalize it federally already

Besides guys

Im writing intellectual incredible delectable and unforgettable songs

Getting lit and blitzed taking rips off spliffs bowls blunts and bongs
