Start stop a trip trot
Drip drop down
Mellow yellow
Under blue top white spot
In the flip flop town
Coconuts hang in gangs
Green and brown
Most corners of this town
Soundtrack backdrop
A euphonic tonic
To a mental disharmonic
Light the wick
To your soul’s philharmonic
One Love Truth
Multicolored and supersonic
Tip tap tune in
Time you and I win

Words on a page redden with rage
She’s angry again, he’s back in the cage
“It’s only a stage,” a voice does say
So why the fright?
Just turn the page into a gape
And make your escape
Write
Here and now
But how?
How?
HOW?
Like a dog’s bow-wow,
Au naturel
A spontaneous act
To this matter of fact

I got a message for all the masses
my third eye
wears 3-D glasses
you may get high
but you’ll never surpass this
when you bring the static
I got homeostasis
everybody’s trying to rob me of my calm
it’s like playing hot potato
with an activated bomb
but when I get the feeling that my blood is getting warm
I just chill out
take no pills out
and I open up my palm
you can call me a pacifist
because I write my rhymes so I don’t pass a fist
it’s hard to tell the difference between anger and love
when you meet a pretty girl
and then you strangle her with hugs
so I drink
kava kava and not vodka
so I can chug a lug
and be a mellow fellow
when I pass out on the rug
when it comes to fighting
I just sit down and I write it
I’m a big guy pound for pound
so I can’t get all too excited
it only takes a small flame for wick to get lighted
you’ll only have yourself to blame
when your ignorance ignites it
this world’s a powder keg so if you’re carrying a load
you had best express yourself
or you’re gonna explode.
