Exclusive Song Share

Is 2020 over yet? I hope this finds you well. I want to connect with you directly and share new music in a very personal way. Thinking of new ways to connect directly. Let me know what you think about the track. I have a pile of songs waiting to be released and I can't wait to share some tracks from the vault with you.

Your support goes such a long way. Did you know that music artists earn $0.00437 per stream on Spotify? Thats right. Its an outrageously low figure.

Here's a funky tongue in cheek track for you to bounce along to. I wrote this one with Mario Castro and Tony Greco in Bushwick nearly a year ago. It was one of those special jam sessions that turned into a song idea. I had so much fun coming up with these lyrics and playing this simple and funky little bass part.

This song makes me feel silly and carefree. I hope it makes you want to do an impromptu soul train in your kitchen with lover, kids, or pets.

Special Shoutout to my loving partner and creative collaborator, Veronica Britton, for the great track artwork.

lyrics

Same night different name with it
Damn right Spit fire kick flip spirit
Pass the rock back and forth like we playing tennis
Game point love match everybody cheerin

Bust a vein winning, look at the score board
Yeah we can stay grinning, cause its love and war
Blow a gasket in my brain, its a bloody sport
the bell rings, throw our gloves and we hit the floor

It feels good dont it, it feel right
Making love in the ring what a sight
Im like tyson on your ear with a bite
A little scrimmage snack nibble oh ]dats nice

Been a long time, I aint drinking
I’ll Sip some fine wine, im just thinking
I drink the fire out a sippy cup
Had a boo boo on my pinky thumb

We'll sail off our launching point
Tell me what you're waiting for
Love is loving, sometime war
We'll sail off our launching point

Hold up and let me clean these strings
Fortune teller come and tell me what these Tea leaves mean
Try to juggle lots a hustles just to bring in green
Climbing up hella vines just to see stay on scene

Stay alive when the seasons change
It can take alot of time and your energy
Gotta stay away from Grime it touches everything
cause Everything needs cleaning, yeah everything needs cleaning

I was chasing diamonds in the in stars
I feel anxious oh my god oh god
Tell me what it is I
Tell me what it is I, dont know
What we fight for?

You got me on my knees girl
Cant you my peace signs
Dont go
Dont Go
