The Baltimore Blues
Today I searched every street in this city,
When I heard your voice mail saying that you were leaving me;
Went on the avenue to talk to Lil’ Will & Skeet;
They said they saw you and your new girl
downtown on Howard Street.
Searched in the village up until Hillen Road;

But Janice said you were hanging with Cooper, well that’s what I was told.
Went over to the eastside to check out Preston & Milton.

So I was told you were with Eric G, riding in a 
car showing off your new girlfriend.
Drove down to Monument Street to check inside the barbershop;
Kevin said she stopped by earlier today for a fade and a little of the top.
Went out to Park Heights ran into Piggy and she said you aint their;

Said you came into a large sum of money and ran off so you wouldn’t have to share.Took Coldspring over to Northwood when I thought I spotted you at the 7-11 on Marble Hall. But it was a young thug on 
the pay phone leaning against the wall.
Honey I don’t know why you decided to drop your bad news; 

but I’m tire of running after you baby you’re giving me the Baltimore Blues.

There's something beautiful about
the way Jazz flow
The way it keeps me motivated
as I go
I , myself love listening to Jazz
every Sunday's afternoon;
I would load my cd player of my
favorite tunes.
Jazz has a way of clearing your
mind or establishing a though
that you've pondered at one time.
I write a lot of poetry listening
to Jazz music, It's cool, it's soothing
and the flow guides me thru it.
Boney James, Coltrane, Miles,
Ramsey Lewis, even a lil' Kenny G
can help me enjoy it.
It's all about Jazz.

Every morning
I sit and wait
I should be job hunting
but I hestitate
it's hard to find a job
after being locked up
and I can't stand on a corner
with a sign and a cup.
So I sit, I wait, I drink, I sleep
while opportunity passes me by
I'm not saying that I don't try
But shit gets hard and my girl cries
Because she's on my back and ready to say bye.
So everyday I sit and wait
while my love for the working world turns to hate
But like I said there aint to many jobs a man can take
After spending years behind bars.
