about

This is song for everyone who needs a recharge. The load has been heavy. I wrote this song to remind myself to not overcomplicate things. Enjoy the beauty that is around you, and remember that it's okay to pause and have fun.

lyrics

Spent my morning in prayer trying to get a hold
Of the multiple visions my mind unfolds
Seeking Kendrick Control of just one goal
Now my heart strolls to a new drum roll

Most High my pied piper. My set sights higher than
#1, Ima play host - Meikhi Pfeiffer
Holy Spirit the lamp, the sight lighter
Now we working as a team - Knight Rider

The next step is the best yet
Brothers & sisters in the faith invited are to the guest set
Ban together in unity - suppress death
You & me soon to be taking flight we jet set

Abandon lust & stand with us
Elevated egos are cancerous
But an ego laid down is a man to trust
I stand and bust for those will dance with us

(I’m trying to get) Back, back to the basics
Back to the basics
Lift my eyes, take in the sun
And say, Jon, you better have fun

I live to make music, can’t hit the road lots
Tried to keep moving paused at some road blocks
Nostalgia had me visiting some old spots
Sometimes I know not - at least the flow’s hot

Deceived me wanna peep greener pastures
Standards too high, seems I fiend for disaster
Leaned on my own strength, peace to the Master
You could say I had it backwards

So now it’s back to the basics like beats & rhymes
Seeking out moments to free my mind
The Most High said if you seek you find
So I’m always on watch just to peep the signs

I surrender control, hoeing the road I chose
Pray for peace in the overload
I seek new clothes, and new way of living
To live in the moment I'm given

(I’m trying to get) Back, back to the basics
Back to the basics
Lift my eyes, take in the sun
And say, Jon, you better have fun
