Vacation

And you say Paris city

And you say New York City

Jazz Liberatorz with the live motivator

Check it out, y'all

Yeah, from the five to the mind

The mind to the hand

The hand to the pen

That transcribe the plan

Will stick to flypaper but never quite land

At my last destination

From bus, train, to plane to radio station

I occupy minds, that's my occupation

My childhood, a baptism, indoctrination

All the way through to my high education

Reward for my patience

I'm lovin' my callin'

Callin' my loved ones from extra long distance

Across many seas

I wish y'all were here, the things that we'd see

The witness I bear, as light as hot air

But since you're not here

I lay a foundation that brings me back with you

Reward for your patience

You could say I'm workin' on a vacation

You could say (You could say)

You could say (You could say)

You could say and you say New York City

You could sing (You should sing)

You could say, matter of fact

You could say I'm workin' on a vacation

You could say (You could say)

You could say (You could say)

You could say (Right now)

And be true (Right here)

You should say

You could say (You could say)

You could say I'm workin' on a vacation

As time flies by, the calendar changes

Months, days, and years, add ons, rearrangements

There's so much divine

But ain't nothin' sacred

We can't turn the clock back, so why try and fake it?

I grow with the movement

But still I stand

And retrace the steps we call walkin' round

I look forward to a vintage

Spit over jazz riffs and choose ancient strings over synth-age

The mood the beat brings

Pull at your heart strings

So, for now, I choose words that won't harm ya

Disarm ya

Could slide off the armor

Let your mind ponder

On things that calm you

Then, let it wander

Way past beyond the

Stress that your life brings

Things that frustrate you

Gettin' all worked up

Battlin' and debatin'

Shut up and take a vacation

You could say (You could say)

You should say (You could say)

You might say (You could say)

As they say

You could say (And they say Paris City)

Won't you say?

You could say I'm workin' on a vacation

You could say (You could say)

You could say (You could say)

From Harlem (J Live)

And be true

Jazz Liberatorz

You could say (Outta Paris)

You could say I'm workin' on a vacation

Back to the grime

Nose to the grindstone

Back to the wall

Ear to the ground

Feet to the pedal

To peddle these tracks

So this time, I choose one to help me relax

From these lips to God's ears and then He grows

From the boy to the man and then He goes

To transcribe His own plan

It might be flows

Like Father, like Son

Whatever He does

Long as something gets done

That's civilized, righteous, and shines like one

From star to star, it's just space and time

And His actions won't be in place of mine

You see, wisdom is personal

Like every verse from the curse to the jewel

Whether it's rehearsed or I'm just breakin' food

And the mic is a tool

To break and rewrite the rules

From my first day to my last night

And with my lights out

And my weapons through

You can rest assured that I'll be rest assured

That the best of my works have worked

And laid a foundation

Now, that's a vacation

You could say (You could say)

You could say (You could say)

You could say (and you say New York City)

You could say (You should say)

You could say, matter of fact

You could say I'm workin' on a vacation

You could say (You could say)

You could say (You could say)

You could say (Right now) And be true right here

You should say (J Live)

You could say (You could say)

You could say I'm workin' on your vacation

Thank you for the special gift you've given to me

Listening to my words and my melody

I hope I can return the same thing

Listen to my

Listen to my melody

My melody

My melody

My melody

Listen to my melody

Oh, my melody

My melody

Oh, oh
