free versin
no rehearsing
only spillin guts
recollect past days
intertwine my pops
as I intersect thoughts
I...in effect pause
seconds invested
in honor of your days
I be the evidence
youressence is alive today
youda turned 65
if you were alive today
it’s the reason
I will never be caught livin idlely
If I said I missed you, no doubt that puts it mildly
crumpled up that cancer, tossed it out and lived lively
from father to a friend
then son into the same
just to have whisked away when i had my mind made
`for sure, you were, to beat that fate,
but i guess, you had to meet your fate
gone too soon but never too late
I’ll say
I’ll lay claim to this island
man on a mission
toss it back to the highest
invigorated optics
ights within my iris
nothing makes me more proud,
when they say i got your likeness
pep in my step and im posing like the heisman
raising me in days, terrible like ivan
spot first blossoms
marigolds in highlands
I hope you know there hasn’t gone a day
I hope you know I haven’t gone astray
I know that you know I’m a man, properly
I know that you know it’s alreadytwice today
your pictures worth a million words
I don’t need captions
even I can see it,
through mirrors my of reaction
alive in my thoughts
personified actions 3X
your legacy next to me...the way they will capture it.
Francisco Cordero Ricafort
December 3rd, 1946. and the legacy’s still being written

i feel the vibe, i realize, i knew i had to
aesthetic so magnetic, the same reason its attractin you
close contact, can’t break through,
give it room, an impacted tooth
caught up in confusion, so confucious say, extract the truth
social cues, homeowner blues,
holdin over, golden rules
politicians politicking
knowing well they spin the truth
system broken
but they golden
rock 3 thousand dollar suits
slept upon, a token fool
daily, so that’s nothing new
now traffics stopped, and broadway blocked
but we create new avenues
wrecking shop, ill stand atop
and give em someone to focus through
must be thinking no not me
no doubt you must be asking who
but the person that you need to be
be the truest sense of you
i said i questioned, they said i aint going anywhere
but the more they question, the more i invest every dare
unafraid to face my fate, it can lead me anywhere
So im coppin stock in myself, im willing to take every share
ive paid my dues, ive walked in shoes, and lived as an honest dude
not saying I need more, just saying that I’m honored to
puzzle to mosaic a phrasing Im connected to
I shatter to a fraction of the person that your use to,
I’m steppin up, I’m reppin the
the letters that my brethren use
GMDGTS now none the less
my soul and spirit, breath infused
true foo fighters
soul inside us
nothing less than the best of you
pump through the speaker
speed of a cheetah
we be be be blaring through
speak to the legions
move in allegiance
set set set this vision loose
climbing to a crest that few could reach
jumping with no parachute
could be perilous
now preparing us
tested to see if we pursue
tried to deride and silence us
we be de de declarin truth
embedding roots
planting clues
blossom in for these future sleuths
from a king to a prince
to A revolution,
Im yellin out computer blue.
pullinthe ones that drift away
to lift their brains
and find their groove
will with a cause
is bulletproof
so philosophize
my stylus do
now script it quick
these hyper moves
it something
I cant overshoot
with the heart of a warrior
holdin peace
daydreamin that im goku
a school of thought
I realize
I know now i owe you
so haters can hate
that’s their truth
pardon the french
merci beaucoup
bounce with a smile
peace with the deuces
peace with you and I bid adieu

hey is this thing on
michrophone check one two
alright
lets do this thing man
What was I thinking
I didnt have links in
and now Im sinking
ba ba ba
Yo
first i caught the move
up on the flavor
turned to the right
peace to the haters
had two fingers up
middle to the index
wipe windshield clean
shining like windex
i flow with friends
yet i grow through my foes
yet nobody know the way my minds floats
energy to entity
enemy to extacy
revel in the history
of legends told endlessly
entering a forum
of quick wits and decorum
as you sort through life
and what you find important
my philosophy
is now in accordance
evidence to theories
everythings supported
supply and demand
growing through your fortune
while I love to make due
with graces and good fortune
and if by happenstance
horton hears a who
im reaching for the sky like up with the balloons
fast forward russell in 20 years
and its me
raising a hullaballoo
a wave for the ladies
and a hello to you
and a hello to you
then a salutations
for some friendly neighbor activation
leave this past life
that scraped me
way too jaded
now im honin every skill
right through fate
from the music that i make
to the leaves that i rake
What was I thinking
I didnt have links in
and now Im sinking
ba ba ba

You blew in on that summer breeze
and it took all of me, to keep from falling down.
You're a melody that sings so sweet.
This ain't no day dream, you're standing right in front of me.
They say all good things, come to those who wait.
They say that love will always find a way.
And here we are, standing face to face.
Fingers locked and laced,
saying...
(it goes)this moment aint postponed
actually it's appropo
its pertinent, we percolate
and let it brew slow
whats funny, is the fact
i use to rush this all before
mis-un-der-stood what the growth was for
now its time to sitback
witness whats in store
cause I wont be found waiting
illbe building my foundation for
patience, cultivated
underrated art form
glidin through the petty
in one ear and out the car door
couldnt catch the culprit?
thats what the alarms for
birds eye view,
have it nothing less than condor,
with rough seas we sail, a gale force storm
still we set up on this course
with these tides we own this shore
sprinting for the apex
free running like its parkour
bogeys in the bunch,
time to eagle on this par four
me and you, round the bends,
even if it leads to mar’s doors
knowing in the fact that leads
to the breeding and the meaning of....
our core
ever since this lad was young
following the beat of his father’s drum
singingsteadilytothekey they strum
and nownownow I am easin up
she the reason every breeze
im breathin be freedom
timin is everything
in times of uncertainty
this pressure like a tourniquet
while waiting on eternity
but certainly
i learned today
when i heard her say
actions imply
what my words could never say
so i hope you place your burden
right upon my shoulder blades

they feed into the notion were at war with ourselves
a product slanged, self on sale, sitting on these shelves
they picked em well, let em stale, now trippin over wealth
it’s culture of consumerism,
capturing
these capitalists
i punctuate my mood
and now im turning to a catalyst
web surfin overdrive
learning as an analyst
rooted in this grass
we act upon the action quick
anecdotes and activists
rope a dope the passionless
no docey do til the action fixed
or vicious patterns power tripped
and placed back!....
in palms of the people once powerless
highlight the high life living what matters is
pushinalegacy left to be made, living with no asterisk
for bleeding hearts and passionates
we manifest magnanimous
potential to engage
so i extract it quick
no matter if these battles strip
and attempt to make me unravel quick
seein i am blessed,
so it’s a must that i must add to this
dustin off myself and
hoppin back cause this saddle fit
this life is my craft, i cant quit til i master it
ill never truly reach all i wish to attain
but what i have to lose dont amount
to what i gain
realize the truth, with myself im not at war
realizin im fighting for
my beliefs to the core

comin home to you, glad that im off
but the vibe in your eyes, says somethings off
told me its gone
no more on and off
breakin it to me, words at a loss
wanna say something but I need a prompt
this punch to my gut, left me soft
fabric of our love
now tied into knots
the woulds the coulds the shoulds
now not
working on my craft
to leave my mark
but I took too much time
now I’off the mark
gone too long
and now you nodded off
so i guess I need to be
jumpin off
leave with bands of these argonauts
handle the scene w my autobots
and the time for riggs, never mattered more
facing my placement the art of war
sun tzu moving like a matador
this bull gets cray
then... grab it by the HORNS
riggsyfort and anomaly
this be chuuuch
but no homilies
so whiff it quick
before these fathers leave
flippin real flows
for the wannabes
they ask my style
i say broccolli
they said pardon me
i said broccoli
it's good for your heart and your arteries
let your baby listen if its collicy
peeriodically
im an oddity
but most the time
laughing heartily
but die for my beliefs
like a martyr see
when I focus on the targets
like archery
notice that its me
no apologies
sky be the limit
like astronomy
I’ll be back
when it's time to be
Hooray For Earth,
We're on an odyssey

Santigold, I haaaaaaad to
cause I loooooooove you.
You talk soooome reeeealness
contrary to popular belief
how hot would a opera be
complete w/ a bounty of trees
and a couple of
swishers they're offering me
could be nirvana to thee
yet whats important to me
to be acting
and thinking on the brink
of a scholar you see
freein up them positive vibe
the ones that karma release
a one man revolution
movin
an armada of me
way passed cool
lemme bring that heat
indoor rockin that parka steez
food for your soul
call it collard green
and if you cant see it
lemme paint the scene
we disparate youth
but we disengaged
and they put through hoops
so it dissaray
so the dismay
leads to disdain
misunderstood
so its disgrace
but in this day
we be leaping for the zenith
seeking this
seamstress
who leaves us speechless
all in agreeance
all in allegiance
she the one to speak
santigold reach em!

Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
