love

​(Verse 1)

The neon signs are bleeding through the rainy window pane

Tracing silhouettes of ghosts dancing in the lane

I’m sipping on reflections, double shot of the blues

While the snare hits crisp, shaking off the city news

It’s that 2 AM philosophy, a pen and a pad

Mixing Coltrane’s spirit with the dreams I never had

The rhythm is a river, let it wash away the grit

Life’s a messy masterpiece, and I’m just framing it

No need to rush the tempo, keep the heartbeat steady

When the universe calls, hope the soul is feeling ready

I’m drifting on a hi-hat, floating through the haze

Finding hidden magic in these monochromatic days.

​(Chorus)

Let the brass breathe, let the piano talk back

Finding all the missing pieces in a dusty track

It’s that Jazz Hip-hop, medicine for the mind

Leave the static of the world and the pressure behind

(Yeah, just leave it all behind...)

​(Verse 2)

They say time is money, but I’m spending mine on grace

Walking through the shadows at a transcendental pace

The saxophone is weeping, but it’s laughing at the same

A bittersweet symphony without a formal name

I don’t need the spotlight, I’m the light within the smoke

Finding deep wisdom in the words the elders spoke

Between the kick and the rimshot, that’s where I reside

Where the ego takes a backseat and the spirit takes a ride

From the concrete canyons to the velvet in the air

If you’re looking for the truth, man, you’ll find it right there

In the swing of the groove, in the space between the notes

In the silent poetry that every heartbeat quotes.

​(Chorus)

Let the brass breathe, let the piano talk back

Finding all the missing pieces in a dusty track

It’s that Jazz Hip-hop, medicine for the mind

Leave the static of the world and the pressure behind.

​(Outro)

(The trumpet takes a final, soulful solo over a fading bassline)

Yeah...

Keep it smooth.

Don’t let the world sharpen your edges too much.

Stay in the pocket.

Peace.
