about

A song simply reinforcing that it's better to give than to receive, as well as maintaining a good balance of offering and accepting help from loved ones and friends. Written & recorded at the Sanho after my daughter Aaliyah was born circa '09 by my then former roommate of 6 months Gabriel (a celloist as well) - he made the music I laid the vocals on his rig.

lyrics

Oh have you
Oh have you
Oh
Have you?
Have you been forced to balance what was want and need
Matters
Matters not if you took more than you gave to me

As much as I've loved I've never hated that much
As much as I've given I've never taken that much
And listening to music was like taking a drug
For every cigarette you smoked I lit up a Dutch
A Philly Swisher with crutch
Sometimes I think I'm blazing too much
Forever young I don't wanna grow up
But I swear Toys Ain't Us
No playing with it faking the funk
I stay committed to the ways of the under
Not just flave of the month
That fades away and never stays around here
You gotta know your peaks and valleys like a mountaineer
I'm speaking softly but the message rings loud & clear
Redefine and speak your mind before you outta here (gone, bye)
I plan to take it over in about a year
Yall thought I was sounding weird
Fuck around be a millionaire still aware with my ear to the street
The hungrier you are the better you get complacent when you're comfy

Have you?
Have you been forced to balance what was want and need
Matters
Matters not if you took more than you gave to me
I just
Hope I did not take more than I gave to you
Always
Know I always did what my heart said I should do
Don't cut yourself off from a blessing
Hush now
Let the music talk and learn a lesson

I hear what you're saying but hush
And let the music hit ya like you just took a puff
So come get faded with us I waited for love
Can't say I never dated a lady from a club
Man I know I love my lady just don't say it enough
She know she drive me crazy with her big ole butt
Temper and we gone fuss
It's human nature to break up make back up
I guess that's why we argue fight and fuck
If I get high enough then what we fight about goes in and out one ear
Silent around the house can't be like that around here
Now it's a child we share no other woman shall compare
Gotta figure it out living can't be no nightmare
Old ghosts reside there demons don't always fight fair
Good vibes come in and revive a breath of fresh air
Harmony in the hardware positive every idea
Come this far and can't turn back challenges I fear none

Have you?
Have you been forced to balance what was want and need
Matters
Matters not if you took more than you gave to me
I just
Hope I did not take more than I gave to you
Always
Know I always did what my heart said I should do
(Go with the flow yall)
Don't cut yourself off from a blessing
(Don't d-d-don't don't don't)(Hush now!)
Let the music talk and learn a lesson
The music's making a connection
