Conspiracy Theories The first time I heard about it, it was across the sea Where people eat bats they caught this bad disease Then I heard it came from a science lab Some genius playing with germs but it all went bad Maybe it was Wuhan could have been the government And I also have my own conspiracy theory Heard some people talking they were comparing schemes One said it’s a weapon another said it’s from 5g Maybe a billionaire with a master plan Maybe another scam from a businessman Saw it on the internet or heard it on the street And I bet you have your own conspiracy theory From the 60’s it’s been around but this specific strand has never been found Called Disease X in 2018 and now I’m sitting here in quarantine My nose is runny but they say it’s not a sign Cause’ I can hold my breath for ten seconds at a time I’m eating lots of garlic and drinking tea Magic mineral solution with added bleach Now you’ve got me paranoid I can barely breath Don’t want to hear conspiracy theories Some say it was the Russians some say it’s a black hole Some are saying it’s as harmless as the common cold The Americans have got their priorities The National Guard is bagging groceries A ploy to keep my hands clean or money from a vaccine I had enough of these theories From the 60’s it’s been around but this specific strand has never been found Called Disease X in 2018 and now I’m sitting here in quarantine So let me end this ditty by putting your mind at ease I have found a cure for this horrible disease Before you let your mind go off again This is what I would recommend Try to stop yourself from posting if you please and we’ll put an end to these conspiracy theories

Divine Inspiration What about the here and now the days and nights passing Like the sunset on an ocean sky when the colors mesmerize My eyes they want to see the sight again because it takes me To the place I want to be so magical and moving Divine inspiration it doesn’t take hold if a man isn’t bold Divine inspiration you have to be brave to create In our day and age we’re so far away from purity And good ignoring what we should and only wanting more of what we Had before and everything we have are all the things we’ve had to justify With lies we tell ourselves our kids and wives Divine inspiration it doesn’t take hold if a man isn’t bold Divine inspiration you have to be brave to create It’s a gift from above to be free like a dove When you give up control to be led by your soul When confusion is gone one can move on But you have to let go to connect to the flow The words out there are so obscene don’t say a thing they only scream About a trend that in the end takes me far from who I am without a choice A racy voice steals my heart and removes my eyes from Heaven And enrolls me as a soldier of sprite Divine inspiration it doesn’t take hold if a man isn’t bold Divine inspiration you have to be brave, you have to be brave You have to be brave to create

Giving Feels Good When I give my love to you, I give myself to you I become so much more than I was before Hey isn’t it true that giving feels good And when you take more than you should it doesn’t feel right So I’ve been pondering too a way that I can give more So I can be assured a satisfying life When I sit to write a song, I give myself away And a part of me is living on in the songs I play Hey isn’t it true that giving feels good And when you take more than you should it doesn’t feel right Well I’ve been pondering too a way that I can give more So I can be assured a satisfying life We love the ones we give to there’s a part of us in them A stranger is a stranger until he becomes a friend Hey isn’t it true that giving feels good And when you take more than you should it doesn’t feel right So I’ve been pondering too a way that I can give more So I can be assured a satisfying life

So Long 04:43
So Long Moving around while daddy sold his cloth went to the south where things really took off He didn’t have a contract when they let him go heard times were tough I was too young to know So we went up North to find another line we didn’t have A/C it was Summer time But we wrote a tune it was a country song saying I’m not just moving out I’m moving on So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong Gave me a home where I could grow up strong Always working hard so we could get along Now you’re gone so long dad so long The years flew by like a bird in the sky a moment we’re here and then we disappear And nobody knows what’s going to be I’ll call you tomorrow we’ll have to wait and see So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong Gave me a home where I could grow up strong Always working hard so we could get along Now you’re gone so long dad so long I sit and think about how much has been forgotten, of childhood memories And then the later years when we went back to Queens, both of us chasing our dreams Never really knew him for all the time we spent promised we’d travel we never went Watching old movies singing old songs he never said goodbye always said so long So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong Gave me a home where I could grow up strong Always working hard so we could get along Now you’re gone so long dad so long I won’t say goodbye, I’ll only say so long

Take Time Out Hate crimes on the rise no one’s safe, the world’s not big enough for us Your skin, my race taking up space, today our hearts are numb Take time out time to think it through I’m talking to me I’m talking to you, take time out So much anger everywhere the home’s a combat zone Parents fighting with their kids, brothers and sisters can’t get along Take time out time to think it through I’m talking to me I’m talking to you, take time out Before it’s too late take some time, get your head on straight take the time… So clear to me without a doubt a sign is coming from above The Lord has put us all in quarantine it’s like He’s telling us to… Take time out time to think it through He’s talking to me He’s talking to you, take time out

The Lord is Kind Driving home stopped along the way got Pulled over out in Sheepshead Bay Cops got a call from someone in town I Fit the description they had written down Get out of the car put your hands on the Hood don’t pull any tricks for your own Good I stood there in disbelief while he Opened my bags and was going through My things The Lord is just the lord is kind there’s no punishment without a crime Don’t know what I did to I deserve this bust but the Lord is kind and the Lord is just I felt a chill going down my spine when he found the stolen goods with his canine Caught red handed I was out of luck I was sure that they were gonna lock me up Brought back to town to stand before the judge to plead my case the best I could I didn’t do it but I couldn’t prove a thing in my possession they found everything The Lord is just the lord is kind there’s no punishment without a crime Don’t know what I did to deserve this bust but the Lord is kind and the Lord is just I said judge please hear what I say I know I must look guilty in the light of day, but You’ve got to believe me I’ve been framed I know it looks bad but I’m not to blame Must have overwhelmed him with my speech he told the guards to set me free I got light headed and I fell to the ground and woke up in my bed safe and sound The Lord is just the lord is kind everything He does is right on the line Until the day I go back to the dust the Lord is kind and in the Lord I trust Until the day I go back to the dust the Lord is kind and in the Lord I trust
