Here I am again
Just me, silly silly me
How many times do I have to tell myself?
You can´t trust nobody, can´t trust nobody, can´t trust nobody but me
I talk and talk
But the talking just no good
Can’t seem to make myself clearly understood
Causes when it all comes around I see
I can´t trust nobody, can´t trust nobody, can´t trust nobody but me
I can´t trust nobody, can´t trust nobody, can´t trust nobody but me
Pictures, memories, fantasies
Opposites, and similarities
Just when I think I got it safe
I don´t know nobody, don´t know nobody, don´t know nobody but me
I don´t know nobody, don´t know nobody, don´t know nobody but me
And as seasons are changing, the more things I refuse
It must have been changing me
The feeling of being used
Well, people that lie to themselves will lie to others
People that lie to themselves will lie to others
Don´t let it change you, don´t let it change you
Well, even if it leaves me with no other-
I´d rather do my own thing, and I´ll do my own thing undercover
I can’t believe all of the ways life tested me this year, and the one before
Just when you think you’re done there always comes more
Surviving with my headphones in “The Moment Of Truth”, cause when life starts battling- this was my medicine and the sound of my youth.
Let´s be honest- I care, I do, and I dare
I´m concerned and serious, some times hilarious but oh, have they been testing me
Girls interrupted go confess to me
Crying on my shoulder and then cheat and mess with me
Men who think they´re bolder- they still question me
Some people that are older expecting less of me
People in the game that keep on stressing me
Thank you Spotify, playlists will rest in me
The beat goes on and it just lets me be
Intimate and free
“Breathe, Stop”
Lauryn clears my Dizzy
Common on The Streets
Mos Def-iantly Joni
Hi- Technically beats
Jill Scott and Heron to
Badu´s old and new
And the list´s not through, I´ll never make it through
Wynton on the YouTube, Dilla in my room
Steve Reich- right? No? One point that was all I could consume
Blur me, Beatle, Billy, Nina, Ella, Train
Always full of Wonder
Earth, Wind, Fire, Rain
All the Evergreen´s are somewhere in the seems
Great B. Britten and classical extremes
Jazz, jazz, blues, soul, techno, rock and roll
Eggstone, Costello, Burt, Chaka Khan control
Soundtracks, Radiohead´s, I-pods and clubs
Buss rides, off sides, car drives and sub´s
Swedish countryside´s, ever-Latin love
Oriental oceans, Israeli peace dove
Hot Somalia desert´s, Ashkenazy roots
Asian subtleness and warm Florida suits
African foundations and Reykjavik trees
Take 6, Sephardic blues, Zappa, Bee Gees
Sarah Vaughan saved me in 2009
Thank God for “Fix You”, Jay will always be around
B, Prince, D when my heart is on the stake
New York- Salif and a major heartache
Konitz solo´s still go to my head
And so many more names that I would want to spread
Most of whom I´ll never ever know
True friends thou
Thanks for the company, thanks for the songs, thanks for all the wisdom
Thanks for all the moving-a long’s
Thanks for all the moving-a long’s
I´ll be moving along and singing:
Here I am again
Just sticks and stones, but no broken bones
And now and then I remind myself
To pull the parking break
And then press update
Sleep your eight
And it’s nice to wait
Make time for time
The option of resigning
The option of politely declining
