Jazz City Poets - Gowe

[00:22.05]I'm in a jazz club I hear the music play
[00:24.66]I feel the saxophone notes but I just stare at his face
[00:27.66]And I reflect upon his fluid form of movements
[00:29.67]His use of the best band comprised of a couple students my goodness
[00:33.09]I mean talent wise his skill was incomparable
[00:35.04]To anything that I've seen so I just ponder and watch
[00:38.4]I just look on and really didn't want it to stop tracks that he laid
[00:41.64]Paid for the train in my thoughts I patiently wait
[00:44.13]Thinking bout this man and his past Did he rock a million shows
[00:47.13]Make a hundred thousand in cash With a few platinum plaques
[00:49.8]At his pad outside of reno Or did he fall deep inside of a new casino
[00:53.94]These are questions that I pose when I ponder On the chance of me
[00:57.03]Like 20 years down the road when I am half of me
[01:00.0]Will I fall under the same fate or direction
[01:02.19]Lessons that I've learned when I burn through my conceptions
[01:05.12]Its just a cold night I'm chilling in my city
[01:07.8]I got the whole night nobodies gonna get me
[01:10.59]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[01:12.93]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[01:15.93]Its just a cold night I'm chilling in my city

[01:21.33]I hear the key notes dancing and I know it
[01:23.82]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[01:27.0]I was told that if you're blessed with a gift the most selfish
[01:29.46]Thing you could do is pretend that it didn't exist
[01:31.59]So I take drums that hit with a jazzy riff when I spit
[01:34.5]My moms flipped her script when I told her about my gigs but its cool
[01:37.95]She knew that I was driven at twenty two
[01:39.72]Now its coming full circle kicking it back to you
[01:42.69]Graduated school with a new point of a vengeance
[01:45.36]Farewell to my fears I will stay clear of your venom
[01:48.06]Stumbled on the serum chillin with nothing left
[01:50.79]Feelings in my chest like I'm ripping it through a vest
[01:53.19]And I'm taking it to the next step kill the regret
[01:55.83]Any mistakes that I made is now a part of my past
[01:58.47]I'm taking it home can't stop leave it alone
[02:01.11]Part of myself yells to keep keeping it going
[02:03.87]The lights dim down again the Saxophone starts to play
[02:06.81]I start to picture everything I wish I could say
[02:09.9]Its just a cold night I'm chilling in my city
[02:12.51]I got the whole night nobodies gonna get me

[02:28.41]Welcome to the mind of a jazz city poet
[02:31.47]I lounge back while I relapse and I might go
[02:34.17]The whole track starts to relax and I write slow
[02:36.99]Back to the tempo pondering music
[02:39.0]When I would think about the future with songs
[02:40.8]That'll get me through it I'm good
[02:42.72]Deal it if I'm misunderstood
[02:44.45999]Hope my future children see take it and they achieve
[02:47.31]Poppa Followed Christ poppa was in love
[02:50.04001]Poppa had dreams but Poppa will never be
[02:52.74]A puppet used to poison the passionate plus irrelevant
[02:55.41]Portraits on a beat taking a part of me
[02:58.17]I rather take a seat in a room full of my heroes
[03:00.81]Their hair turning grey wearing their cowl and cape
[03:03.21]I just listen taking mental notes within my vision
[03:06.15]The longer conversation I'm pondering my condition
[03:08.73]As a writer the lights start to flicker on its brighter
[03:11.58]As passion starts to leave I make a promise to write her
[03:14.61]Its just a cold night I'm chilling in my city
