Lyrics

For U
By Jahi

Man in the mirror
In and outer pictures
Meditation makes it clearer
Songs or a scripture
Far from a holy man
When I choose to get in the booth
These lyrics not from garbage cans
The horn reminds me of Art Farmer
Or maybe a Miles riff
Music continual medicine
The gift is uplift
All seasons all changes
All types of twists and turns
The beauty is you learn from it all
I break free from walls and boundaries
Communing at the top of mountains
Ocean views and ancient trees
Just breathe blessings in blessings out
From within never without
Choosing love over clout no doubt

This is for the spirit raising hand waving people
Who never gave in the brave ones till the very end
Staying true this is dedicated to you


This is for the spirit raising hand waving people
Who never gave in the day ones talking real friends
Staying true this is dedicated to you

The ones who got your back with no questions asked
The one’s who want the most for you and give you they last
The one’s who don’t use niceness as a transaction
The one’s that check on you quick and say yo what happened
True care with no repair more love get more rare
On the daily
With this crazy notion of motion with no morals
Character is thinner than linguine
Culture need a cleanse of the slim and the sleazy
I come from builder sculptors man
Who don’t be on that flim flam
They treating knowledge like a new harvest fam
Stretching out to new land quick to learn from the past
And super fast to give a helping hand

This is for the spirit raising hand waving people
Who never gave in the brave ones till the very end
Staying true this is dedicated to you



This is for the spirit raising hand waving people
Who never gave in the day ones talking real friends
Staying true this is dedicated to you

Now momma may have and poppa may have
The fight to make in this life you don’t know the half
Expect the shade from the other side
But when it’s your own it’s like a paper cut
The fools sit and argue while the wise go adjust
Back biters disgust me critic corners discuss me
They treat me like a math problem wanna
Minus or plus me but luckily
I know my value come from higher source
From the one’s who know how staying the course not just quotes
Everywhere I been in the world I found my folks
And the fake ones man I see through like a hoax
Man my father was my best friend I miss him the most gone

This is for the spirit raising hand waving people
Who never gave in the brave ones till the very end
Staying true this is dedicated to you


This is for the spirit raising hand waving people
Who never gave in the day ones talking real friends
Staying true this is dedicated to you
