Chorus

I see..these words

As they run along the crystallized river

I hear the sound

When the current pushes things in my favor

Verse 1

The vision through the lense I picture 

Clear image couture

My eye's laying straight forward waiting to be captured

The flash of light shows my soles footsteps close to being told

Same way I flip that record from the street corner

At times I ask myself am I the sidewalk walker or am I the sky walker

I'm moving yet I'm feelin' like I'm going no farther

Barricaded from the deep city voices, coming after me with it's silent whispers

Put me in a state of paralisis

Could move my arms but not my mind

I question if I feel anything inside

My heart burried on the moon

So numb I lost signal

Lifted up and fell straight down..gravity never felt so powerful

I'm just a man tryna do good

Not tryna be misunderstood

Verse 2

Lost what I thought I loved in a months time

The bridge collapsed on me when I was tryna pass

Torn of my characteristics from a faceless gap

To my face I was smacked

Questions backdropped to if I cared too much

The only answers were a rain full of bliss

There wasn't any youth at that city fountain

Only experience from obstacles amounted

Notebook in my book bag 

Syphonies written in each line

The stories of rhythm blast through my headphones

Dreaming in my own world

To be able to walk through the rain without the umbrella

I'm the dude that's classified as the coffee house fella

People lookin' at me as I sit in the chair and between the lines letting my experiences be the lender

These moments are so tender

That fire by the fireplace is bringing summer to winter

No longer do I want to be the dreamer in my room

So I..stand up and walk to the door, with 5 dollars on the table

I embody the City of Wind's hustle

Out in the streets I'm the kick pusher

Rebel to life as I look at myself in the store windows

Who would've ever thought of that innuendo

Chorus

I see..these words

As they run along the crystallized river

I hear the sound

When the current pushes things in my favor

 Verse 3

With that my body lays in the wilderness woods

Thinkin' of the past of those could've been's

It's that moment when day turns to night

The tree branches move and whistle through the wind

Nothing of family or kin

It's that evil bodily jin

For awhile things had me thinkin' since I was classified ..am I doing wrong?

How did I get lost from the city to the woods

Was it because I carry the goods?

Bring something relatable to the world

Around the circle emotion poured

This isn't an untuned chord

This is something as good as that lady you adorn

So there isn't nothin' wrong with being an intellectual

Experience held in these vocals

Verse 4

It's like I'm blocking all negatives while on Bourbon St. listening to jazz

Easing my soul as it's carried by the smooth sax

I tell myself I shall make a movement in the L.A.X

Not behind you but close to your eyes with pure facts

The amazing thing is you're not even being taxed

Free of charge to get life back on the train tracks

New views, revived street dreams

 The Hollywood billboard won't overshadow me

Cuz I only write things that I can actually feel

Not let those tires while on the highway peel

Matter of fact I want to start an independent label

Make a group entertaining as the soul brothers

California sunshine carried over to others

Living life fullfilled all together

Along stepping stones onto the future

Chorus

I see..these words

As they run along the crystallized river

I hear the sound

When the current pushes things in my favor
