SONG: DINE OUT aka I LOVE BEING HAPPY
It’s been hard to release myself of thoughts deep inside the cranium
Because the ooze of all this has felt like uranium to my mind
I hide myself from the news because it’s so bleak to look at how messed up things are
You can’t live without chaos going on
I wish things were so different
The want to be in front of a creek instead of darkness on a screen
Really miss thinking back to when goofing off meant everything was fine
Not having memories of feeling that are close to turbulence in a plane
Just want to be somewhere where friends can dine on good things
How does all this danger become what is broken down (to the color of skin or something you wear as a badge--because all this hate for hate only escalates the problem. It could be broken down in another way.) in any other way.
I always think of the manger because that is where Christ was born
Peace doesn't have to be a weapon or a building on fire, It could be what gives you hope
When sometimes days hardly ever appear positive
The norm of today isn't what gives a beat it's dire need to exceed boundaries no matter how you want that
As if to have hope the silence that comes with years of hostility towards opposition
You can only change anarchy by fighting back till the sky turns blue
Because all this flipping upside down only takes away what many fought for you
You can't burn it because the minute you try, out of nowhere the flag will fly
As a clue of what Americans fight hard to keep strong
I didn't want to do this, but I've been hiding for too long
Hip hop made me woke so long ago
So the time has come to bring back what is mental
Because thoughts of being lost are over
Got to build a house with sides that will never split when a storm comes with strong wind
Cause I’m so tired of all that’s going on
All over the news, on the radio, friend talkin’ crap
About people who are different, and so much more
I wish I could wire a radio station and blast my feelings
So everybody would hear them, “I love being happy!”
When things are good, if all this stuff is misunderstood, then I guess I might have to go get a Laffy Taffy.
I love being happy
I love being happy
I love being happy
I love being happy

SONG: OPEN LETTER aka “BROS FOR LIFE”
Well, I am back again
This one goes out to my friend David P Jensen
Years ago back when I was in high school, I remember that
I ran cross country and he was on my team, and
When I was running,
And not doing very well with keeping up with all of the team
He, and all the guys came back to where I was
And they ran with me, and
Helped me to, to push down the way, and
Helped me to keep going at it
When those times were not so easy
And at that time I hadn’t really ran long distance
And so To try to push myself to do something that was very hard
It was great to have him and all the other guys helping
To push me to keep trying
And not give up!
And then we were really good friends
And we hanged out on “Mill,”
And we talked a lot
And then some years after that
I remember seeing him at like a party
And he was in a band that was called “Before Braille.”
During that time there was a kid that was at the same job that I had
And he told me that I couldn’t write a hip hop song
So, that’s what I did
And then, I showed it to Dave
And he took a look at it
But then, asked me to read it
And so I read it to him
And he was laughing really hard
But not necessarily like, at me,
But at the fact that I had done that
And that it was really good
And then out of the blue
And I had no clue
That he was gonna ask me to get up on stage
And perform, perform a song!
We’d pay all for love
And then as time went on
His band broke up
And I wasn’t sure what I was going to do
And then he took off for a bit
And then we found each other again
And I got to record in a studio
With none other than Bob Hoag
And we recorded a couple songs, and then
Now we just kept with it
And it’s been all these years
And here I am still today, making rhymes
And doing that sort of thing
And it’s just amazing to have that
And to be where I”m at!
And so, ahhh
I just wanna say, um
Thank you David P Jensen
You're one of the greatest guys I’ve ever known
And has done so much for me
I just cannot thank you enough
And being able to overcome autism
I can for sure say
That I wouldn't have been able to without you
And love you so much
I’m thankful to have you in my life
You’ll always be my bro!
And I will always stand with ya
And stick up for ya
No matter what happens
You’ll always be my bro!

JUST ASK JOHNNY
The only way to keep hip hop true
Is by keeping it real every single time
It doesn’t matter how the beat goes
‘Cause the lyrics are clean like a cup that came out of the dishwasher
The only way to keep hip hop true is by keeping it real every single time
Every single time.
How do you like me now?
Nobody got to get that extra rinse
‘Cause the beep is neither here nor there
No reason to take a cues
From those who cling to the static from being all gangster
If I had wanted that, why Ice T would be giving me clues
On when to say “boom blaw sucker”
As an MC I never came from the hood
The only thing that got shot was a toy cap gun
It never put no bullet into anyone --
Just Ask Johnny
Nah I don't see a reason to talk about all the homies down on the block
That would only be cool if the gang was jumping some fool
Then you might hear somebody say that guy got served up like cream puff
Just ask Johnny about that
Just ask Johnny about that
How do you like me now - Just Ask Johnny
But everyone knows the season is only for the outsiders
The real tough guys
They always beat the rich kids.
