about

I am not good at the hip-hops. This was kinda fun, though. Stream of consciousness, written at the Montreat Youth Conference. Backing track by the late great Two Pound Planet.

lyrics

I got no rhyming skills
I got cholesterol pills
I got a house on the hill -- I'm in Asheville

They got no traffic stops
So they don't need no cops
I just don't wanna stop -- but I will

But then I'll start again
Just like your long-lost friend
And we'll all win in the end -- or will we

You could choose to lose
But we all need an excuse
And we're all living proof -- just like Billy

Idol or Clinton
We're all liable and then some
Some say the Bible is winsome -- but really

It might be a bit harder
Just like walking on water
No one gives their daughter -- that's silly

You got to move to the right
To be out of sight

The waves & the river
Lord, help me deliver
The takers & givers -- to wonder

We ain't takin' our time
But we are takin' some rhymes
I like to win on the water -- not under

If the rights could be wronged
If the sings could be songed
You don't have to belong -- to the right crowd

Just say yes, ain't no maybe
This just ain't no Vegas, baby
All the people will sway me, on nine clouds

You got to move to the right
To be out of sight
You got to move to the left
To be like the rest
You got to move up & down
To look like a clown
You gotta move

The afternoon aches
Some people say, "thems the breaks"
May we learn from mistakes -- just like textbooks

From the science labs
We got Madonna & Babs
The dream I just had -- and my last looks

I'm lounging in the green room
The kids will be here soon
No one promised the moon -- use your fishhooks

You got to move to the right
To be out of sight
You got to move to the left
To be like the rest
You got to move up & down
To look like a clown
You gotta move

I just don't wanna stop -- but I will
