Trust Your Soul

night's beginning – with any luck the wait is ending
design the blends and keep these fucking plates spinning
as the world turns – day to night and back
I see the color burn – more fly than white and black
pulling late nights – get the dub plates right
going viral – make a spiral from a straight line
through a Moebius strip on a melodious tip
build up a sample collage with the copious clips
and the granular synth – if you can handle this it's
bad, bold, raw sound unfolding in this
like Coxsone Dodd, a sound seeker
international mix up in the loudspeaker
another heater gonna redline the voltmeter
funkify your life and catch the gold fever
so my teacher is the sonics and the style itself
top shelf – keep it dialed to the highest wealth

day steps aside to night's rise
we dance in praise of dusk – it stays with us
raise your eyes to twilight skies
adjust and trust the flow
trust your soul

sampled tones evoke the smoke poems
and the Zone's adrift with the clones in the seasonal shift
twilight backdrop mixed with streetlamps
beats on repeat on the box keeping me amped
signed sealed and stamped for delivery
traditions of musicians and gifts that still live in me
rearranged like collage in composition
intentional designstyle blends with intuition
each line is a choice – align with the noise
fly skylines of rhyme – come into summertime
inner states reset – depressurize
arise to the heights your mind's eye specifies
I steal time to make this flow for real
act like an average joe – y'all don't know the deal
that's 'cause the soul... it's to be protected
if you didn't know before you best respect it

day steps aside to night's rise
we dance in praise of dusk – it stays with us
raise your eyes to twilight skies
adjust and trust the flow
trust your soul

I got that style and feel of a driving wheel
striving on – you know the Time's for real
so you can look up how to cook up in a recipe book
what I made when I played but it's necessity – look
I got the essence of the resonance – consider this
that if you lose the roots of blues, it's hit or miss
that's what the South is about when we talk musically
I keep it moving in me because it grew like a tree
see how it branch out to expand sound
move with the band now – outstanding, hands down
I gotta lock it in the pocket with the bass and the kick
like George Porter Jr. you know the phrasing is sick
and when the silence means as much as a note does
gotta improvise – you can't play it by rote, cuz
stay dedicated to this mic that I'm holding
'cause every day I see this light that's unfolding

day steps aside to night's rise
we dance in praise of dusk – it stays with us
raise your eyes to twilight skies
adjust and trust the flow
trust your soul
