Favorite piece. It's called "Back".

I like it, other people like it, hopefully you'll like it. Excuse the grammar. lol


Maybe I'm not meant to be in this time zone. I wanna go back to lindy hoppin and swingin...back to when we heard unelectrically modified singin....back to when theres was much more laughin...back to when grindin wasnt considered normal dancing.




Back to when jazz was real...back to when you could get a more fair record deal....back to when music was more than a drum machine..back to when real musicians like count basie and ellington was on the scene...back to when you could buy a sandwhich and a soda for a few dimes...back to when chargin 3 bucks for a burger would be a crime...




Back to when sayin "this is why im hot" just wouldn't make sense...back to when music was for the benefit of our people not our expense. back to when there was no spittin game....back to when youd just be yourself and she'd do the same...back when cuddling wasn't corny....back to when music could get you mentally horny. 




Back to when opening the door for a lady was only logical....back to when courtin a girl was more from the heart and less methodical. back to when we looked for more than good looks....back to when if you were bored youd pick up a good book. Back to when HIV didn't exist....back to when recruiters werent at your school tryin to get you to enlists.....back to when things actually made sense.





Back to when “hoe” and “trick” were merely a garden tool, and something done by a magician, back to when my people had their own spirituality, and not watered down superstition. Back to when you didn’t have to get a mortgage to pay school tuition, back to when my people looked inside to find God, and not some blonde haired blue eyed Roman fraud.


I know it’s in the past, and it’s all said and done, but if I could just go back for a day, wouldn’t it be fun? And for those of you thinking, he wasn’t even alive back then, so how would he know…..this aint the first time I’ve been on earth, I’m an ancient soul.

But there’s really no point in moping in a nostalgic way, so instead of going back, let’s recreate our world starting from today.
