Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum
It go
Bum bum bum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum

The city is a mix of
Love and hate elixir
Scratching the surface like a DJ and a mixer
Plug in the microphone
Making sure the mic is on
We in Stere ere ooo
Night to early morn
Tall buildings short steps
Doctors with forceps
She love dancing but only know four steps
High heels trendy rags
Small clutch fendi bag
Touch tone I phone I mac I pad
Touch screen touch down
Touch me tease me
Much scene much sound
Clutch me please me
Fly high fly away
Always be a flyer way
Hustlers hustling city always bustling
Damn missed the bus again
Girls cant trust ya man
He too skinny she say she like a muscle man
Breaking up break em down
Take em in shake em down
Hum of the city inspire me to make a sound

Hum hum hum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum
It go
Bum bum bum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
The sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum

You diggin in dangerous
Puff pass angels dust
Angels wings stranger things
Away in a manger sings
One of these things just doesn’t belong here
Its not like the others
There must be a bong here im hi
Second hand smoke
Pollution lung choke
Black presidente no Kunta Kinte
Im numero uno like the first is ya rent day
I smell a scenty
Kick swipe sensai
Bring the funk back
The boom in ya trunk lack
Cover of ya magazine
Skinny dude baggy jeans
Fatter than botox
Money in the cash machine
You chatter we talks
Waiting for detox
Looking for fire see saw see sparks
Fireworks fire man
Looking to a higher man
Higher ground put it down
The hum of the city pound

Hum hum hum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum
It go
Bum bum bum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum

But still I find myself walking and texting
Wage war make more
Take yours take mine
Heard it thru the grapevine
Bigger or deffer
The other right is left sir
Left eye get by
Get gone get fly
Get mine get yours too 3 all fours
On deck on set cameras all bets
Off action the pain and the passion
Flash in the pan and the flashiest fashion
Flashiest fashions flashiest fashion flashiest fashion

Hum hum hum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum
Here come the drums
It go
Bum bum bum
Life in the city going
Hum hum hum
Sound of the beat it going
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Go
Bum bum bum
It go

Make It. Break It. Make It Again.
May 02 2013

Its been a while since Ive posted anything new on my blog, its been very busy as Im setting up to release a new album called Feedback, shooting season 2 of Man Fire Food for Cooking Channel, and working on a FEW BIG secret (for now) projects. You can see some of what Ive been up to by clicking here.

Recently Ive been seeing some peeps asking me if Ive abandoned my food life for my music life. For the last while a lot of music stuff has been coming out in bits in pieces. Well, if you follow my Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Channel you will see that is simply not the case.

In reality, I live my passions daily and share them all very often on those platforms because it is an unfiltered direct connect that we can communicate through. My life is about entertainment - wether its a TV show, an album, a live performance, a book, restaurants (more info on that soon too) or any of the other stuff I do; they are all about entertainment. My entertainment generally revolves around music and food stuff but its all a variety show.

I love making things and love sharing the things I make with everyone. Every time I release something it reveals another layer of my ever evolving life. We all have an ever evolving life that we are encouraged to adapt to. For me I like to document that evolution even though it is a soul revealing exercise that leaves every moment open to criticism and / or praise. Ive succumbed to this inevitable reality and choose to still share it because that is all I know. Be honest and bare your soul, its the only way to create honest and pure things.

So every time I share something consider it just one small shard in a shattered mirror that I am working to piece together very slowly. One day the entire mirror will be reassembled and a more complete reflection will show its truth. But by that time, that mirror will surely get a little cloudy, it may bend with time and it may fall apart completely just before it is finally whole once again. This is life so...

Live your dreams every day. Make it, break it, and make it again. Review what you believe to be true every day and seek love in that.

Thats why I will always make things that delve into what I love - food and music. One feeds the body the other feeds the soul.
