Well, drip the juice

Sunday suits
Fried chicken crackling
Rerun, what's happening
Brothers givin dap again

Dapper Drac had a panic attack, and topping off the dread
His trendy boots clashed with his suit, plus his white shirt was stained red

Sure his hair was right, and dynamite, as seen in the mirror
Yet to dress, without finesse, in his book, was a vile...

PARALLEL ARE THE RAILS 

(PRE-VERSE 1)
Feeling all alone
Cast away like a stone

Few friends what I got
True friends can’t be bought.

(VERSE 1)
Living is a joke
Think I’m about to choke.
Lookin’ at you
Lookin’ at me
Mirror is true (but the reflection is cracked)
False truths won’t set you free.

(Pre-Chorus)
I got...

Dismantling Of A Growing Nation

Racial based politics was gaining grounds with public sympathies....
Remembered distinctly DAP, the opposition party,  was gaining popularity....
Especially with the youths in mainly  the urban areas...

Dear Ma I don't mean to write a letter and flee,
but it seems I got the Devil in me.
This average Joe tested my manhood and now
I have to teach him a lesson,
bullet wounds to his chest will leave him breathless
"I'll be out in a second."
Slipped...

(Intro)
Hello……..my friends.

(Chorus)
It’s nice to see you
After all this time……..once again
Where has the time gone off to
Are our memories of yesteryear
Still as fresh as the lingering pain
that flows like a sorrowful tear
Must we keep our emotions at bay
hidden securely behind a cerebral barricade
that’s built up behind...

warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top
cookies and cream ice cream sandwiches
chocolate chip cookies baked to chewy perfection
all in abundance
this is the best dinner ever

we pull out the blender
and make some butterscotch milkshakes
we groove to white on white by danny williams
and you must...

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Wait Up Baby
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: February/1989

The water/smooth 
feathered
white suede 
winter hat
was tilted 
"Ace/Duece,"
to his head,

in the heat
of
summer -

His gait 
was that
of a
Stepping 
"Dap/Daddy."

He wore
a black
short/waist
zipUp 
leather jacket,

Dark
teardrop 
sUnGlasses,

a white
T-Shirt;
black
faded/Jeans,
&
black
patant/leather
(keen toed)

Stacey Adam
Shoes -

The
cigarette
that burned
between his
left index
& middle
finger,

Were
like 
a
short fuse
(ready to explode) -

Explode
on who
he called,
"HisLady"

she was
walk'n
strides
&
strides
ahead
of
him -

"Say, 
he shouted,! 

I'm talk'n
to U
Damn/It.

Wait-Up
baaaaaby!
U/B
walk'n
to
fast."

She
was almost
out of
his
hearing
range,

&
his
dap-daddy
step
&
slurred
speech...

1 man 
all by himself no one understands 
The government even determine when he can see his kid
Now he got a bunch of stuff running through his head
Streets getting wild 
Never knew he wasn’t my mans 
I was in denial 
But Before I give you...

The beat, the beat it swings, it sings
Its bouncing tone a memory brings
a-tap ter-tap de-dap de-dap
and then she sings...

Try as I might there's no satisfying this flesh I'm in, not 
the lusts of it of this indwelling sin but I'm in...the zone 
when I turn up the volume my cup runeth over with joy 
I'm more than a conqueror I still got power...

Violent noisy events in  waves slap ,
Break and coersively snatch away 
Distrubing the foamy thoughts in array,
Spreading across the stretch and dap

Calm and quietude that envelope
And revive the slackening sprit -
Beyond the roaring waters sans limit ,
Get tossed with the flickering hope 

A little...
