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!


Peace and 1,

Keep Holding On

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

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

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
