Verse 1:
Loosely lipped
lassos that loosen grips/
Long mementos feel like honey/
that's funny like when ya gums glisten/
money hits/
one minute/
love it then you run from charging every poem like an ion/
George Ella Lyon
every stanza’s
home
when you come from longing /
take donations for belonging here
when angels calling you/
we diversified in neighbors/
played afters schools /
we broke in our Ebonics language/
Layers On us keep us warmer then when praise an offer
Suavish palms shaking movies that they making off us, true indeed/
Here’s a line that makes remembrance if you in need/
2000 was the new millennium for you and me/
how the mood last /
minutes past, zoom fast, boos, daps, lose passion, new cast/
few laughed you knew that they rude bashing/
You rue that/
But who’s asking? Son/
Do laps./
Renew ya pathways.
Nipsey died depressions made of blue summers/
Was never tripping /
So I lace-tied and grew wonders/
You think we’re never too connected/
numbers blessed up in abundance/

Hook:

Blooming oaks
loose leaves.
Earthseed.
Truth speaks.
New breeds.
First breathes.
New reasons
New means.
Earth me.
New breeze
Birth these.
Birth these.
Birth these.
Birth these.
Birth these.

Verse 2:
Making parables off talent’s my newest read/
that’s the truest me
in newish a heat/
in a newish seat/
on this newish beat/
I’m getting over every shelf /
Reaching newish feats/
health, humility and heart. Struggle
still a feeding art work/
full finished blend/
you mixing with these chart players?/
For some lost prayers? /
I’m switching cities, growing moss heaps.
Chromosomes from Rolling Stones couldn't toss me/
My pops connect me on the phone text:
"Son, I miss you. I don’t know if we still
on next Christmas."/
"Don’t sweat it /
we can try another time around July" then/
March, April flies. /
Until the fall that's when the thoughts crystallize/
Does it fade well in time? /
Horizon pics a dime a dozen/
Schedules eating up our love’s a different kind of fence /
If we do nothing/
we don’t climb it/
we should bond amends/
Like they once intertwined but hey /
love is rough/
My tender heart it gives a pulse it keeps exposing the mine shells/
and exoskeletons/
Opal told us that time tells/
even mine depends/
Let’s see how the binds held/
claims are my defense mechanism coating feelings end of season no Seinfeld/
Rewatching reruns of our moments as vines kill/
Reading me I’m books of Eli the blind skills /
Windows bring epiphanies /
This a simple need /
drumming on my Honda wheel rehearsals /
when I test my reachability. Sound tracks /
Who sent me here? /
I’ll come back down to Earth. /
Alien/
Molish in the works/
Grounded finding light and digging purpose/
Hands unsanitized, elbow full of turf feed/
Blurry-eyed studying how dirt feels
nervous/
Inertia/
Unearth me/
Nervous.
It’s working.
It’s worth it.

Birth These.
Birth these.
Birth These.
