I'm in a jazz club
I hear the music play
I feel the saxophone notes
but I just stare at his face
And I reflect upon his fluid  
form of movements
His use of the best band  
comprised of a couple students
my goodness
I mean talent wise his skill
was incomparable
To anything that I've seen
so I just ponder and watch
I just look on and really didn't  
want it to stop tracks
that he laid
paid for the train in my  
thoughts I patiently wait
thinking bout this man
and his past
Did he rock a million shows
make a hundred
thousand in cash  
With a few platinum plaques
at his pad outside of reno
Or did he fall deep inside
of a new casino
These are questions
that I pose when I ponder
On the chance of me
like 20 years down the road
when I am half of me
Will I fall under the
same fate or direction
Lessons that I've learned
when I burn through
my conceptions
It's just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind of a
jazz city poet
It's just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind of a
jazz city poet
I was told that if you're  
blessed with a gift
the most selfish
Thing you could do is pretend  
that it didn't exist
So I take drums that hit
with a jazzy riff when I spit
My moms flipped her script
when I told her about
my gigs but it's cool
she knew that I was
driven at twenty two
now its coming full circle
kicking it back to you
Graduated school with a new  
point of a vengeance
Farewell to my fears I will
stay clear of your venom
Stumbled on the serum
chillin with nothing left
Feelings in my chest like
I'm ripping it through a vest
And im taking it to the next step
kill the regret
Any mistakes that I made is
now a part of my past
I'm taking it home
can't stop leave it alone
Part of myself yells to keep  
keeping it going
The lights dim down again the  
Saxophone starts to play
I start to picture everything
I wish I could say
It's just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind of a
jazz city poet
It's just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind of a
jazz city poet
I lounge back while
I relapse and I might go
The whole track starts
to relax and I write slow
Back to the tempo
pondering music
When I would think about the  
future with songs
That'll get me through it
I'm good deal it if
I'm misunderstood
Hope my future children see
take it and they achieve
Poppa Followed Christ
poppa was in love
Poppa had dreams but
Poppa will never be
A puppet used to poison the  
passionate plus irrelevant
Portraits on a beat
taking a part of me
I rather take a seat in a room  
full of my heroes
Their hair turning grey
wearing their cowl and cape
I just listen taking mental  
notes within my vision
The longer conversation i'm  
pondering my condition
As a writer the lights start to  
flicker on its brighter
As passion starts to leave
I make a promise to write her
It's just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
Welcome to the mind of a
jazz city poet
It's just a cold night
i'm chilling in my city
I got the whole night
nobodies gonna get me
I hear the key notes dancing
and I know it
