He’s a man with attitude that lived within his song
provoked an insatiable howlin’ 
whenever sensually his body moved along,   
his world once shackled to Rock ‘n’ Roll 
now just a shuffle of shakin’ bones,
this the last time he’ll string his guitar 
a faithful...

Diamonds and Pearls Intro

He’s a black diamond standin’ on his throne
Platinum pyramids full of rubys and golds
He rolls royces in silks and riches
First class flights fly first…pacific
Atlantic oasis vacations chasin’ him…
From the states to the islands…they paradisin’ him
Crusin’ round the world in his yacht…no glitches
Shinin’...

I'm a writer of truth
I appreciate the nakedness of art tho
in it's rawest form where it starts
which is usually from the heart
So, I listen
Then
The words begin to flow
And before you know it
I've created a masterpiece in my mind
Because what the heart feels is real
So to...

Men have their habits and women their traits
		Which help determine the course of their fates.
		Even the gods do adhere to these rules

Hero comes from earth to stop 'em
finally arrives and gasps
Fade out- end of trailer

So what really is reality?
Ask Plato not...

II.
Laid a rusted finger on
the lip, the dredged ice,
Alaskan wind, a single
prayer before expatriation and
a loaf of pennies.
You don’t know...

Yes, I know what I’m doing
I’m the master of my fate
The captain of the sinking ship
Seeking harbor in ports...
