The Future f/ Jayne Rio
I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
my raps pass the polygraph investigation blues
an indie cat w/ self-affirmations your Honor
give me the media coverage I need like Obama
time waits for no man, these years pass by
sitting idle 25 to life my soul on ice
tell the mayor and the chief of police, Gee is ressurected
have the agents motivate the campaign in this election
behold the chain of events of a modern day prophet
a Phillippine dream that's bullet proof and pop-locking
an agngel whispered in my ear, you gotta stay persistent
and bring it back to nostalgic times reminiscent
when I used to play in the marching band, trumpet and drums
fastforward to the future now that change has begun
manifesting all the thoughts and reflections on the train
sunny days after a period of rain - The Future
Everybody get up, we're are the champions
inspiring this lifetime
saving our children
a change is gonna come (2x)
we are the future (2x)
A soul rebel, w/ multiple gold medals
a broken halo, St. Michael defend against the devil
within a digital world of technology
poets with dreams and drum machines for artillery
give me a blank canvas, variaties of paint
the elements of freedom healing societies pain
raing against the machine for all you industry lames
an asiatic Frank Sinatra singing in the rain
call me Gee Soul, flow til' infinity
exiting the monitors into your ears endlessly
give me a shot of vodka and a redbull
spitting champion rhymes, to the urban ses pool
skating through heavy terrain, maintaining focus
order out of chaos, I write another opus
no time for 12 rounds, I'm knocking out the demons hard
this isn't gangster, it's classic like Gang Starr - The Future

Summer of Love
Soul Provider, mind liberator analyzer
G double E - S - o - u - l survivor
Vallejo, CA. west coast soul vibe
the sounds of a Summer of LOve got you all high
growing up w/ the Stylistics bumping in the background
Beastie Boys and Run Dmc taught me how to rap now
born in Honolulu, raised in the golden State
bay area resident organic Cali mind state
give me the 5 mics, a pair of kicks w/ 3 stripes
modern day jedi, diamond in the ruff 3rd eye
gangsta nerd breakdancer, self-medicated
rhymes more refined been self-educated
misled, listening to fools w/ broken dreams
now I'm encouraging the youth w/ hopes & dreams
I'm not a preacher just an artist for the finer things
the missing piece to this life puzzle that's refreshing
Surfing on the soundwaves of love
the sandcastles, the blue skies sailing up above
the wind beneath, the freedom let the whole world sing
the Summer of Love (2x)
Have you ever been alone even though you were surrounded
running in a circle patiently to feel astounded
people coming and going in San Francisco downtown
searching for my role this movie couldn't be found
a separation anxiety with me and the microphone
man it felt like life was gone
but reunited like peaches and herb
it re-confirmed that my self-peace was never absurd
on the I-80 gazing at the Bay Bridge lights
a microcosm of the future, my mind pre-occupied
with the now and the later, exhausted rhymesayer
a jedi battling the darkside like Darth Vader
one page in my diary exposes a mad man
it's time for my people to wake up and kill the sand man
it took a decade of depression to bless men
professing to entire colosseums, any questions?

Fly Angel Fly
verse I
The arch angel spreads his wings, and takes flight into the virgin skies
breaking down sound barriers of burning lies
3 decades of living in an escapade
half mask half face nights like a masquerade
feared the mirror, hated my reflection
self-inflicted pain within my thoughts in all directions
years passed as the scars healed well
bitter outlooks faded away from the living hell
such a travesty family saw tragedy
insomnia, followed by the heart beating rapidly
paintings on the wall were like a weather forcast
motivated until the caffine crashed
some remained quiet, some made riots
some consumed constantly while some were on a diet
violence, dissapates after the thunderstorm
roses from the concrete, fingers pricked by the thorns
chorus
fly angel flyyyyyy get away
fly angel flyyyyyy fly away
fly angel flyyyyyy get away
fly angel flyyyyyy fly awayyyyyy
verse II
some nights paranoid, by suspects that are stalking me
trapped in a box pantomiming like a jabbawockee
the boombox fighting to be amplified
a poet on cruise control driving on a lonely night
chasing dreams in dead time with dopefiends
directing my own scenes play it on the big screens
screaming up on top of a mountain
sonically leading the youth to jump into the fountain
evil lurking behind every picture
a bullet proof vest complimented by shots of liquor
not everybody knows their father
a soul surfer armed with a gun and holy water
flirting with the thought of multiple magazines
sex, drugs, rock & roll, and low self-esteem
many memories tainted quite eerie
the next chapter in many books I see clearly
chorus (see above, repeat)
verse III
some days half awake with many things on the agenda
searching for the truth in a world full of pretenders
numb, drunk, calm, intoxicated
tired of being dumb my mind elevated
never well rested, something still missing
go getters and no betters all co-existing
letting go the old friends and non-believers
growing my soul escapes from the freezer
there's no deadline on this timeline
taking a random ride on cable car lines
dopelines, combined with white wine
calling it what you want, I'm calling it more refined
sadly some things still unanswered
nothings gonna happen if you don't take chances
for my family and friends wipe the tears away
hold your drinks up and toast cheers everyday
chorus (see above, repeat)

Heavens Breeze
Verse I
The rain poaring, the catalyst to my brain drops
hitting up tattoo spots, cheers til' the pain stops
could it be that my lungs miss the cigarettes
staring at the rearview mirror my silouette
Can I have a steady schedule in life?
I'm feeling like my lady is the time travellers wife
disapperaing for moments to make ends
reappearing after trends and flashes of fake friends
I was a chain smoker, coppin' hella menthol packs
storing all the stress in my shoulders and my lower back
relax, so I take a little vacay,
reflect on my mistakes, healing from the heartaches
elevator the the skies in Dubai
seeking out a new life and seeing through the true lies
hiatus, for the monuments and melodies
evolving like Erykah Badu fly the heavens breeze
chorus
I don't care what it should've been
could've would've ever been
this is my heavens breeze now
infinite transmission til' the end
can't hold me down no never down
let's just fly the heavens breeze right now
verse II
sun rising, the catalyst to a soul provider
surviving war zones, aura's from a soldier rise
utilizing the instruments from God
documents events of progression in my log
life is hard, "oooohhhh child, things are gonna get breezier..."
and though it seems that I'm better off gone
paradise at least through eyes in this song
til' the breakadawn, hella shots of sake bombs
the inspiration and innovation from beyond
healing the hearts of all the lonely ones
the fear of looking at each others eyes in the ambiance
I got a peace sign but I pack a firearm
school districts are closing ring the alarm
hatred, discouragement, disbelief
change it all spread your wings flying the heavens breeze
chorus (see above, repeat)

Chasing Happiness (feat. Jayne Rio)
I'm like Fresh Prince, pursuing my own happiness
could I be handsome, chillin' w/ a pretty chick
a grown man trying to make his own destiny
the memories of stumbling are fading still haunting me
does she exist? a down to earth dreamer
besides your typical Hollywood a-list teamer
a classy lady w/ similiar aspirations, that's down no hesitation
and fresh like ventilation, a girlfriend to travel with,
excursions, coastin' to places where nobody can play w/ emotions
unthinkable, yes unforgettable, Nat King Cole girl you're the queen to my soul
how could something so sweet cause pain something calm and serene
still drive me insane, you're a star still forming in molecular clouds
love and hate is inevitable, we're gonna work it out
chorus
I’ve been floating through many emotions
Love and hate has me coastin’ the oceans
I will do my best…no more chasing happiness
I'm on a time machine, rewind back to the essence
the past, the future, what matters is the present
the highs, the lows, the hellos, the byes
the friendships that star-crossed lovers that combine
on a bullet train...at high speeds to occupy myself
stop and think, the patience that I haven't felt
in a while, dialing my conscience
throwing in the towel, swallowing the non-sense
not yet, there's many more decades, journeys to embark on
skating on my ice capades
I'm on a space shuttle hitting up the solar system
entering through new doors, my mind can envision
risk not taken, posted in a comfort zone, my hearts beating like a metronome
the unknown diminishing the fear, maximizing the many reasons of why I'm here
chorus (see above, repeat)
A dream within a dream within a dream like inception
Rat racing, on 880 intersections
searching for love in all the wrong places, so many familiar places
thank God it's Friday, the damn clock takes forever
the boss is looking over my shoulder whatever
balance and harmony until the stress crashes in
chaos and turmoil, like the Kardashians
my TV is a big glass window, pondering a process from complex to simple
so many hoops to jump through, eyes on the prize
careers, fears, the irony the lies
the false comparisons, the awkward gatherings, why chase it, happiness is now happening
chorus (see above, repeat)

Everyday Is Valentines Day
1st Verse:
I can see you wearing cute panties
The ones w/ the hearts all over it while you're dancing
w/ a big fat smile on your face
courageous, flirtatious, you never cease to amaze
looking good, you've been working out baby girl
nice chest, nice butt, sexy in this crazy world
stop being so damn complicated
complex, let's have sex x-rated
you could be the ex, you could be the new
woman in my life, catching you just like the flu
some dates just don't workout
learning from the past so the future will spazzzz out
life's too short to ever be alone
the irony of living in Hue Heffners' home
what's there to understand?
I'm a hopeless-romantic, your favorite man w/ the answers
3rd Verse:
Til' infinity it's February 14th
cupid is shooting all the angels that are soaring
in the sky, w/ her legs wide open
L.A. face w/ a booty from Oakland
no gold-diggers, just model chicks
shooting game, no blanks, just hollow tips
hella balloons, a card and chocolate
set it off, blast off on my rocketship
screw the mall cops, do it in the parking lot
free spirited, we don't need to plot that much
in the same class, you could be my study buddy
do the math, me and you girl lovee dovee
we can make a reservation @ the sushi bar
shoot the breeze, chillin' under shooting stars
I'm patient but don't waste time
baby girl pack up, let's fly the friendly skiesssss

Dreamcatcher
1st Verse:
Hey yo I'm chillin' @ the Blue Danube coffee house
posted on the corner park avenue, tea in my mouth
reminiscing on the decades past, rain and shine
home grown, Californication state of mind
the sun is finally out today and yes it's my day off
I made it to this point, yall can't stop the rock
if you can walk, you can dance
if you can talk, you can sing
the hard times sting, but I remain SOUL SUPREME
those that know me, jugglin' to stay balanced
through the seasons and the elements, strugglin' for my talents
I've been knocked down hella times before, still a champion
life's not perfect there's no need for any fancy plans
just like JAPAN, RECONSTRUCTION
KEEP ON TRUCKIN' W/ CONFUNKSHUN
like SF Giants, torture for the (9) innings
still living, still dreaming, still here winning
3rd Verse:
Do you fancy fantasy phantasms
opening doors explore new orgasms
used to be spineless but now he has command presence
counting his blessings, rollin' w/ effervesence
used to believe in negativity
but now I believe in my capability
it's better late than never, clever now forever
any attempt to sever success, whateverrrr
a thousand no's = out to 1 yes
1 world, 1 love, new day, no stress
everywhere you go, there's gossip keep talking
ain't no stopping this, just keep rocking this
no time to make moves timidness
the soul can be psychedelic it's limitless
time travelling w/ love and affection
so ecstatic to catch dreams w/ apprehension

Simple Things In Life
1st verse:
I had a good day, met up w/ this cool chick
that I met for the first time @ a bar gig
I knew that she'd be hella down to earth
crazy just like me, sarcastically acting a damn jerk
you know I'm off today you wanna kick it
"if it's cool to smoke up in your truck then yes let's get lifted!"
I'm down so go ahead and take a shower
and I'm coming from Vallejo so give me about (1) one hour
fresh to death, hit up the barber shop
getting lined up, politicking and choppin' it up
so now I'm on the freeway SF bound
received a text from baby girl; "Where the hell are you now?"
I'm already in the CITY do you live
next door to the strip clubs on Broadway; "Is that your crib?"
She hopped in looking sexy up in shotgun
rollin' to waterfront, getting blown (i.e. high) we're having fun
Verse 3
Yea, ugghh, I'm living in a crazy eternity
multiple memories, the painful ones are still burning me
life goes on while high stays (LP) long play
trying to figure out my role up in this wrong maze
darker nights get colder, shorter
reflecting on the train, dodging judgement as a floater
still dreaming is my New Year's resolution
blown, as I reflect the past an illusion
no time for confusion, I finally found my path
my smile ressurected from the family attacks
a glass of wine (vino) and a shot, double fisting still numb
lessons from the past and emotions in my lungs
(3) three women aren't enough for 1 or 2 moments
dated HELLA chicks, still getting heart broken
life is too short to never ever live a simple life
it seems this 16 (bars) is longer than my lifetime

Soul Beautiful (feat. Jayne Rio)
chorus
you take my breath away
you're the one that makes my heart beat day to day
you bring the rain, wash away the pain
you're soul beautiful, you're soul beautiful
verse I
As I glance at the horizon, I inhale all the fresh air
letting go the past now, exhale the pressure
time flies, the sands in the hourglass keeps spillin'
our soul are worth more than trillion
priceless, the memories and the music it's timeless
emergencies in this world filled with crisis
societies dillapidated from the vices, but now we rise from this
it seems like everybodies hustlin', working and learning
friends and families change while the midnite oil's burning
just one moment to breathe, believing in my dreams
Ro & Kayla by my side, my hometeam
together we can take on the world, so where's the love at?
numb from the pain that I've felt, just minor setbacks
dream killers, that think that music's unpersuable
can S-T-F-U because life is soul beautiful
chorus (see above, repeat)
verse II
LIfe, she's playing hard to get with me
changing of the season emotions I'm weathering
she's bittersweet like the cognac hennessey
regardless of the attitude she's miss congeniality
you're always loyal when the fairweather friends deceive
even with the drama like it's lifetime t.v.
arguing, rant and rave, rave and rant
the end of the day your body's still a wonderland
I can be a gentleman and scholar, you're my princess
gold medal winners together at the olympics
run away and take a vacay, on the Napa train
some California sparkling wine as we starchase
love hurts, what is life without pain
so many pretty girls but it's you that makes me change
I'm your b-boy, and you're my b-girl
like Jake and Neytiri in Pandora's 3-D world
chorus (see above, repeat)

Falling In Love Again
verse I
Yeah, uh..my life has been crazy and hectic
searching for a princess to build intellect with
my queen, the #1 on my team
my girl my world pinch me this is not a dream
it seems time passes been so many years
me and my ex-girlfriend we shed so many tears
i had to fight so long approval from the mom
everytime I tried to do right she saw me doing wrong
stayed persistent throughtout the clock blocking
battling a war for her daughter was exhausting
finally won but the relationship got jaded
the puppy love, was dominated by the hatred
we acted like we were married shared rent together
shared emotions, riding out the stormy weather
but the feelings became mutual "Let's move on."
and this is the reason that I had to do this new song
chorus
falling in love again
before and after my heart was broken
it is gonna take some time to bring it back to the way it should've been
I'm falling in love again, again whoaaaaaaaa
verse II
yea, uh I had to move back to my hometown
realizing, back to being all alone now
but now's a chance to re-focus and be selfish
getting out our dreams new beginnings we embellish
I started dating this chick I worked with at the bank
ran into her at the mall now at the bar getting drinks
she advised me she's still with her man now
I am the one still sticking to the plan, wow
hopefully the door will open for the next chapter
new photos of me and her the future captured
me and this special queen we both shared pain
different situations still dancing in the same rain
she has a passion to save all the children
inspired by her work, there's no reason to be chillin'
an artsy woman painting many pictures
I'm just trying to find happiness bliss me and her
chorus (see above, repeat)
verse III
my life is so emotional, we laugh at the past
but the pain that I'm wearing on my sleeve is unapproachable
my arm tattoos are like timelines
flows are a blessing and a curse like the whitelines
for every no that I was fed man screw you
for every chick that broke my heart yo I loved you
yea I admit that it took hella long
but with the books and the streets now a modern day voltron
it was the same ol' song for a moment
cigarette reflections, trippin' while blowing
it's time to let the paper plane fly
a king with hella queens on top of Vallejo skylines
I'm jus' sayin' man the pain exists
thoughts racing something miles per hour, on the bay bridge
I want my queen not the currency
trying to save my soul before this life murders me, forreal
chorus (see above, repeat)

This album (LP) brings every listener who embraces it, into a world of soulful epiphanies and present/future phantasmic time travels. It is the medication for the jaded and stagnant who are reset in all levels, refreshen and rejuvenated into forward progressive thinking souls who align each others universe filled w/ an abundance of creativity, to grow and flourish in this chaotic, disorganized, ill-tempered, sarcastic and depressed machine we presently live in.
It is the end of the past triumphs and regrets. Closure. It is the new prescription of an audio nourishment, the poetic sustenance to survive and just LIVE. It is the armour needed to protect you in battle against the evil rubbish filled individuals and machines. Eclectic urban outfitting geniuses stand up!
Breakdown the Title: Affliction (pain and distress) Evolved (emit, develop, workout) with the Tide (rise and fall of sea levels) of Elation (a feeling or state of great joy, high spirits).
