SHINE!

Verse 1:
One fine day, I was hanging around
The perfect time to mess around with the sound
So off to the lab I go, to do my thing
Make a beat that's a treat, write a rhyme or sing
Closing my eyes and focusing in on the zone
Creating while guided by the Muse alone
Then suddenly, I rose high in the air
Past the clouds in this out-of-body affair
Going fast into outer space
Weaving thru the stars at a blinding pace
At the speed of light, by the planets I race
Time was gone - vanished without a trace
Then near the sun, a voice says to me:
"U are my child so let yourself be
What I made you to be - a grand design
U're a star my son - go forth and SHINE!"
Verse 2
---------
In amazement…
To this voice I replied:
"Who are you and can you tell me why…
you chose to speak to me in this way
tell me exactly what U wanna say"
The voice replied, "What I say is true…
I am the one that created you...
Anything and everything, big or small
near and far, short and tall
up or down, left or right….
positive and negative, dark and light…
I'm the one who gave U an ear for the groove
to make it real funky or to make it smooth...
I gave you the skills to freak the beat
That makes all the listeners tap their feet...
And nod their heads while keeping time -
Just like I told you - You're designed to SHINE!
Verse 3
-----------
The voice said "I want U know and to understand
That everything is going according to plan
Even if 2 U things don't make sense
Go all out, don't straddle the fence;
Keep on doing what U're born to do
And remember 'to thine's own self be true'...
So no more doubts or contemplation
Go back to the lab and make a dope creation...
We know music is your stimulation
Hence the birth of The Flavor Foundation
By the way, your Mom and Dad say 'Hi'
They're chillin' at my crib: Heaven Divine"
And just like that, to my surprise
I'm back in the lab when I open my eyes
Took a trip thru time & space - all inside my mind
No time to waste y'all - SHINE!

Verse 1:
It's OK - I must say
That I display
The fortitude to go my own way
It's OK - to serve my insight
Follow my inner light
And do what's right
It's OK - stick to the golden rule
Take care of my business
And never ever play the fool
It's OK and the perfect time
Let the track breathe
Like a bottle of vintage wine
It's OK - to just be me
And focus my 3rd eye vision
So I can see
It's OK - to call the sounds ELITE
Lace the beats with love
And don't stop until complete
It's OK - how I live my life
I Cherish what's real:
Music, my sons and my wife
It's OK - tomorrow or today
Just do you, whether work or play...
It's OK…
-----------------------------------
Bridge:
It's OK to add a bridge in the middle...
If only to change up the vibe just a little
The end result? I changed the direction
All from adding this minute section
It's cool to create what I feel
That's what makes the gratification so real
Job well done and that was that
Now I take it back to vibe at the start of the track…
-----------------------------------
Verse 2:
It's OK - was the name of my thesis
Music moves my soul like telekinesis
Positivity - All negative ceases
Filling in the blanks and picking up the pieces
It's OK - here's the end of the rhyme
Gonna let the beat flow for the rest of the time
B4 I go, feel the tempo
The highs, the lows...
I improvise - check the solo ....

Time Traveling
Space…Unraveling
Across the years I go
Slicing through the air, like a javelin;
My Mind's at peace and at ease
As I go where I please
2 See the future or the past
It's all up to me
Do I go back in time to try 2 fix my past mistakes?
Or go ahead in the future to see where my path will take me?
Or go hundreds of years to see the evolution of men?
Or stay in the here and now and wonder what could've been?
Or travel back in time to see folks long gone;
Historical figures, music legends, friends, departed loved ones;
Or jump ahead to see me in the the winter of my years
To see my sons and their families - hopefully both with good careers
Maybe go back and see the day that I met my lovely wife
Or the birth of my sons - 3 days that changed my life
The best Christmas, my first kiss, and when I made my first song;
Or when Daddy taught me how to ride my bike without him along
It was a wonderful trip but now its time to go;
Cause what the future really holds - only God knows
I cherish the ride and where I've been
But while I wait on my future,
I can open my mind and close my eyes again and go Time Traveling...
