Too Good 02:48
I like it when you stand by my side You’ve got that kind of love that keeps me satisfied Like a déjà vu you come on my mind any time you leave And that this time’s forever I cannot believe It’s too good – good like gold And I can’t let you go I can show you all the things that I’ve seen I could teach you all I know You could learn to express how you feel In a tongue that isn’t yours. I could learn how to smile like you do When it’s only with your eyes We can get away, from the way that We keep living with this love in disguise It’s too good – good like gold And I can’t let you go I got your love flowing though my veins Flow through my arteries straight to my brain

Like It Hot 03:08
I like it hot, Don’t want it cold, To give you every bit of love that you can hold. I like it hot, And truth be told, The sunny weather treats me better than the cold. Now when I’m kickin' around - I’m kickin' around your town I see you walking around - I see you walking around The way you move your fingers through your wavy hair, The way your body cuts the thickness of the air. Now I know I gotta be careful with your charms Cuz you might just be a witch in which case I’d be alarmed If you’re the kind that leads a man astray Still when I see then, then I’ve got to say

For you I got love in my soul, That much I know. When I see you movin, when I see you groovin I know. Now when I saw you, spinning round and round Looking in my eyes, I was making the sound I didn’t know then that the past was there Hidden in the dark brown waves of your hair Now we were, just a couple questions in the air Waiting for the answer that was already there Waiting for the future to become the past But making every moment last Now oh no here I go, when I’m kickin’ it with my flow Lone wolf to the bone – I roam alone So I don’t know if I believe what I see Or just see what I believe But you got me high of this love Hiding the flowers in my sleeve A hard muse to amuse – a tough witch to bewitch Dreams to be dreamt – not no heart to stitch Cuz when I see you – my face grows a grin I love it when you say “I’m in”.

Veter (Wind) 05:03
Ветер разбежавшись споткнулся о порог моих надежд. Я его не обижал не бранил, Я его оберегал и хранил, Он окреп и сбежал в мир улыбок и ярких одежд. Расскажи про меня в тёплых краях! Ведь обида не стоит гроша Оглянись – наша жизнь хороша Те – кто за – те поймут, а кто против закроют глаза Ветер улетая оставил мне немножко себя Три листа все в словах – на полу Все о том что я жить не могу В бесконечной зиме – в вечных сумерках яркого дня Расскажи про меня в тёплых краях

Like a rock ricochet – off time rhyme When we hit the stage, man, it’s right on time I devote what I write and what I wrote To the ones who were dope Made you choke with their punch line Between a hunch and a fact there’s a fine line Gotta try to find what’s good and it takes time Physical discipline and a strong mind Find your groove and you’ll move flying mile high Music takes you higher Let’s you lose control Let it light your fire Feel it for yourself – it’s in your soul. Helping people get away from all the ghetto ways And once the groove is in your soul you know it’s there to stay Feeling better every day. Got the record? Let it play. Move and dance your fears away And if I had one thing to say, I’d say that we should be as free as we can be when Music takes you home like a compass – wherever you roam Never feel alone when the groove’s in your dome. When you play you practice – sharp like a cactus And everything you’re doing people feel it to the bone. Lone ranger – you’ll never be a stranger, if real emotion made ‘ya It doesn’t matter if you rock in minor or major Don’t let the people change you align or arrange ‘ya When the love is deep in your soul you know.

No Se Vaya 05:51
Early summer sunset – color of caramel Two lonely hearts beating perfectly parallel. Love me now – love me later – love me how you want Even though we had to part – never thought it’d hurt my heart. And when you left you took a piece with you, Now I wonder if what’s left is still at peace with you. Now when I see you in the morning – fresh juice, cigarette Not sure what it is I feel but I’m feeling it. You don’t have to go - just stay, Time doesn’t matter when we’ve got all day Words were never really necessary And you couldn’t hear a thing over me Mixing fruits and berries in the blender So many subtle little things I remember. But now you’re long gone – Miss you like the dawn misses bird song But I stay steady on the mic cuz I rock strong And I know it’s been some time – But you still show up in my rhyme Now when I see you then I’ve gotta see it through, So I’ll see you when I see you and I’ll know just what to do – well, For now I’ll say it cuz it’s coming from my pen, Never know what would have been if I had said it then. No se vaya, señorita, de mi lado..

Vibrations 03:57
Trouble, trial, and tribulations Elegant vibrations – to the other side No one shows you your direction But if you pay attention – the light is always right Let your good vibes shine – let them meet mine See the world change when we feel fine Just a couple little keys that we must find But still you don’t control your thoughts with your mind. Your energy your body can hardly confine Weave through your limbs like a grapevine Your journey though the universe will align To the pattern engraved in your lifeline. In your palm deep in your skin Things that don’t come from within As I cruised on in high, by default and desire Saw you slide by in the side of my eye And I thought that the universes do collide Cuz I felt like I knew you but I didn’t know why And it’s not the time, or it’s not aligned, Or it’s but a silly little trick of the mind Brain’s but a silly little box full of thought Trying to understand what your energy brought me Thoughts of color green and blue Lead my quest for something true Still I cannot find the answers You hide in your eyes For eyes cannot find the answers. Trouble, trial, and tribulations Elegant vibrations – to the other side No one shows you your direction But if you pay attention – the light is always right

Sueño 04:59
Sueño con el cariño Que yo no encontré. Dime que ya no te falto, Quitame las cadenas de fé Sueño - sueño cada día que ya no te veo. Desapareces entre las rayas, Te grito que ya no te vayas. Sueño con el cariño Que yo no encontre. Dime que ya no te falto, Quitame las cadenas de fé. Mira como cambias - colores del mar Cada vez la veo en ti pongo a pensar

Far Away 06:04
Now I know that you go, when the winter winds blow, Far away you’ll go-go-go. And I know that the wind and the cold and the snow They make you really lose your flow. Still I wanna get higher but my internal fire, These days it burns so low. So I would appreciate just a bit of your love We can take it slow. When January comes you’ll go far away. Not for the sake of your heart – it’s art. It’s the songs that I sing when you must depart, If I let you be the poison running through my every artery. Every piece of art it needs a martyr – see It doesn’t need to be a bleed – Simple brain bruise will do the deed And I’m gonna skip this part, Kick it straight from the heart, I like it more together than apart. -- To reach a piece of mind, To love and not define, To live your novel page by page. A sequel in the shape To which we all relate The knowledge of eternal change. A life that’s in between The somber and serene The harbor and the port and the bay To catch the winds of time Rewind and redefine And let your consciousness lead the way. Far away – far away On the frequencies of fear there’s just no reason to stay. Far away – far away Rise and resonate and let your energy play
