This One's Here For You is a track that evolved from my attempt of writing a good ole fashion four chord song to a tapestry of textured sounds. The horns really make it pop!
Oh no, I’ve done it again
Spendin’ all my time reflecting on a little sin in my head
Oh no, I’ve fallen again
I can’t pick myself up so I remain right where I’ve been and I said
Oh no, I’ve messed up again
Repeating those mistakes I can’t chalk up as a win, there’s a thread
Oh no, I’ve shown it again
I thought that I was a perfect - like a God - I’m only human and I...
But if I had to do life over
Would the outcome come out different?
I’d certainly like to think so
Kinda hard to tell when you’re within it.
Be careful you wish for
You never know when it just might come through
With a card on top reading
“This one’s here for you”
Oh no, I’m back here again
People everywhere are asking where the hell I’ve been, I don’t know.
Oh no, I’m blankin’ again
Should’ve kept my compass north but south is where I’m heading, you know
Oh no, I’m talkin’ again
Can’t keep all my secrets to myself. I’m always tellin’ to show!
Oh no, I’m crackin’ again!!!
Applying all the Band-Aids to this wound I’m always scratchin’ and uh...
But if I had to do life over
Would the outcome come out different?
I’d certainly like to think so
Kinda hard to tell when you’re within it.
Be careful you wish for
You never know when it just might come through
With a card on top reading
“This one’s here for you”
Well it’s not my fault that the odds were stacked
Against us to ever make it
“Well, it’s on you. What are you gonna do?”
Well, I’ll tell ya
You gotta believe in somethin’ new...
You gotta believe in somethin’ new...
Oh no, I’m livin’ again
Pushing my agenda to the front of the line because I can
Oh no, I’m solid again
The holes that were reserved for pain are fill up and up to the rim
Oh no I’m shakin’ again
No matter how I stumble I’ll get through it with a flash and a grin
Oh no, I’m callin’ again
To tell you it’s over. I’ll call you next time some time
You will know when
But if I had to do life over
Would the outcome come out different?
I’d certainly like to think so
Kinda hard to tell when you’re within it.
Be careful you wish for
You never know when it just might come through
With a card on top reading
“This one’s here for you”

They are at best laid-back and nonsensical at times but incorporate many genres of hip-hop. Some of their songs are more serious and poke fun at the cliches found in ever day life. Courageous Rue
