RHODES

I was bold felt it in the bones 22 years ago
Eleven an adolescent writing poems to heaven
Skinny tall athletic prime for basketball at age seven
Creatively charged to rock decibels
Writing poems to God
Wondering if he'd hear thoughts no prayer lost
Lessons became love, love and all things possible
In this broad spectrum of light we so often do not see
Has such an effect on our scene
An hour seems like a color or shade of the day
That finds us reminds us pulls us back to memory
Centering lifetime culminating to one moment
Iris explode in tears shining over the years
Pain kept inside holding back the fear
Concealing all this feeling alone
Healing along down the road
Found my way exact will
Patient, strong, faithful, gratitude
I bond with attitudes that wanna grow
It ain't comfortable that's the truth
You want a life worth living
Allow the water to flow

Down the road been places seen faces of those
I will never know never know
Down the road met beautiful souls of which
I will never ever forget you
Down the road guided where to go
Direction must connect with the spirit I hear it
Down the road always dreamt of the moment
Now I feel it on the path I'm strolling

Big dreams deep sleep
Drawstrings telescopes, Mama said
"if you want to make it Son let it float"
Late nights early mornings up and at 'em
Sunrise feedback free throws
Made a difference on the fly
Moving was a chest pass
Learned how to handle that
Took a long time to see my best friend was a pen
Zip ups and graphic tees clean kicks for contrast
Beanie or a fitted kept my bald head from contact
Winter tube socks old school starter jackets
High tops and long johns word is bond
When it's darkest page style I spark this
Channeling diamond tip ridges
Balancing wave patterns high and low renditions
Electro-static magnetic sound prisms vibrant rhythms
I punch-in tones sculpt the vision
Down this road my only mission

Down the road been places seen faces of those
I will never know never know
Down the road met beautiful souls which
I will never ever forget you
Down the road guided where to go
Direction must connect with the spirit, hear it?
Down the road always dreamt of the moment
Now I feel it on the path I'm strolling

Down the road
I will never know
Down the road
I will never ever forget you
Down the road guided where to go
Direction must connect with the spirit, hear it?
Down the road always dreamt of the moment
Now I feel it on the path and I stroll
