Verse 1 There's been a LOT on my mind, I been awake lately/ Went from sleeping 10 hrs, to keeping 7 daily/ I got a 9 to 5, it's a blessing this time/ I got a child in my mind til making living off my rhymes/ A car is broken down, got no way to get to shows/ But I'm saving 'til I make it, you can BET I get it tho/ I'mma get a vehicle, & I'mma work until I'm ghost/ I'mma go hard with both until my little man is grown/ See, my baby momma giveth/ We have a fight, then it/ Gets a little darker, 'cause I'm partial to the sinning/ But I'm all grown up - I need my bank account to get it/ Almost married & divorced when her daughter is a woman/ Had to get on speaking terms, now I'm on my third album/ So just how can/ You keep on listening without him/ Malcolm/ Showed that on your own still sold/ So I'm happy with pro's but I'm solo HERE I GO!/ Yeah/ That's/ Possible in fact/ Got the winners on my back, yellow hammer is tha champions/ Yeah this city DOES sleep, ain't no need for an Ambian/ We get our rest to get the rest, good luck to the camp you in/ Now you in the presence of a family running deep/ We got Yela, we got Reb-El, plus AK is making beats/ We got tha kinda drive to make us make it over seas/ What more you could ask for? Alabama sends a Peace!/- Hook And the shower's coming down, and the shower's coming down/ And the shower's coming down, and the shower's coming down/ And the shower's coming down, and the shower's coming down/ And the shower's coming down, and the shower's coming down/- Verse 2 We been sitting at a bar, tried escaping where we are/ Man not far from where we are there's some cops that's stopping cars/ An when my ID is at work, they got a purpose for their work/ I got warrants for performance of my Taurus after work/ So enormous is my bad luck/ The chorus is "I get fucked"/ I'm sure that I should give up/ But not if I could live up/ To all those expectations, I'm impatient with my life style/ And by now, you see how I feel that way in my town/ It's about to come back down now/ The showers never back down/ Been told that when it's cold, that it's just frozen in the background/ And when it all blows over it's supposed to keep it fresh/ So the most that we can stress is "which is better: ass or breasts?"/ yeah/ Plus we gotta fine select/ But I gotta confess that them showers is a mess/ And the city still spins, and the city still spins/ The new city of the wind, man, you heard where we been/-

Verse 1 (Aldrian Auteur) Yo where do we ever go/ When everything in life is hella-low/ And blood ceases to run through the earth's skeletal?/ Do we live on forever or do we perish slow?/ Or do we just end-up stuck in places we thought we'd never go?/ Whoa/ The question freezes the celestial/ The seeds I planted seems to never grow/ So I'm stuck here in this vestibule/ Searching for a direction but it seems there's no way to go/ My soul has sinked to the devil's slope/ Sometimes I feel like an extra terrestrial/ Who was blessed with the extra glow/ Special flow/ Giving people extra hope/ 'Cause you never know/ Who can be saved by what's engraved through the X & O's/ My phonetics are visual through your pilings/ Whatever's hitting in life, I reveal it through your helix/ Critics say I'm surrealist/ I think that I'm the realest/ Capable of giving only the knowledge which I'm given/ I try to speak to the children, open they minds to listen/ I know, parents, it's hard to raise em without a village/ How can one expect to grow with no nutrition in spirit/ This is my food for thought for the tongue within your ear rim/ I feel off, & I'm too stuck in my memory land/ Searching for words to switch the position of your Enneagram/ Call me The Millennium Man/ With a pen in my hand/ I'm mentally miles from anywhere that you stand/ Circled around the earth and found my way to your land/ Hot-wire your scull after invading your head/ Gave you the information, but you refused to take it - you closed minded/ Searching for what's so easy to find, but you will never/- Verse 2 (M.p.H) You never know if him or her could be your downfall/ No homo, so if he, I personified a bank roll/ Thank y'all for the support so I'll know it ain't a fan/ You can't cool me down cause O'Shea the Ice man/ Fuck a fight man/ Not paying dues is how it happens/ Maybe that's what it takes to create a David Chapman/ Or is it infidelity? While you straying away/ He or she is all alone; how you passing the day?/ While she take the children, man, you sitting back puffin/ Two L's around the room - call that shit double Dutching/ Remind you 'bout your feelings, man, they ain't saying nothing/ I hope you really see the fucking hole that you stuck in/ Fucking/ Your cousin/ Just gotta say "fuck em"/ Ya told him/ He's nothing/ When you came back & stuck him/ Lucky is what you called when it don't get as ugly/ As weighing 125 & playing a game of rugby/ But trust me/ You're lucky if you can stay up-out the bookings/ Or your angel wings occasionally getting broken/ Fuck it/ You're lucky if anyone can help ya cope, an/ When it comes to One Love, ANYONE can be a rookie/ While we speaking on love, a pocketbook is overrated/ On comes the radio, you speaking what you making/ Silly mother fuckers that's like glorifying the slave ships/ You never really know like my rhymes contradicting/ You hear a line from me, you'll be surprised what I'm spitting/ You hear a line from him, you'll be surprised that he's spitting/ You live your life with me, you'll be surprised that I'm living/ Keep that in mind all the time, it'll be our deliverance/ You never know!/-

Hook (Aldrian Auteur) I just can't believe X 4 Verse 1 (M.p.H) It's scenic/ Believe it, but I'm off of getting weeded/ Gotta beat it/ I'm going to show you nonbelievers that I mean it/ I was high for a time, head always in tha clouds/ Never felt a sense of clarity until I floated down/ I was/ Dazed & confused/ Sat amazed in my room/ Staring at the stereo like brides maids to a groom/ Like I understand the plan, there's a method to the madness/ There's a method to the madness but I bet I never had it/ I would/ Stare at the wall, watch the smoke swirl/ Now all I really stress is the old girl/ But back then I was in school/ Steady stressing that I'm cool/ I'm impressed I went from fool/ To the leader of the new/ Went from/ Two years of 8th to finally picking up my pace/ Not going to end this with cliches like a simile to 'race'/ I smoked/ Too much/ Thought I'm doing more work/ Than I actually was/ Man I actually flunked/ Man I actually snuck/ All of the answers to the scantrons but it wasn't enough/ I never finished with my class, knew I wanted to rap/ Even with my newer craft, my momma wants me to go back/ Ha! Picture that! Hook Verse 2 (M.p.H) Fresh sky, take a second to look back/ I'm amazed about that hazing that went on in my past/ Not from/ Bullies in school, but the life I been through/ It's been a long one, but there's plenty I flew through/ Numerous tickets - think at least 13/ It was never having tags so lights flashed when they'd see/ I'd get a/ Walk to the door, "know why I'm stopping you for?"/ I'd quietly curse when they'd ask me for more (shit)/ No license or insurance so that's 3 in one trip/ Add another for the truck that took possession of my whip (damn)/ That went down until I finally sat down/ And got a license & a tag now it's time to get down/ Scoop my old girl up so we could find somewhere to curl up/ Try to avoid the tow trucks, 'cause we plan to fuck the world up/ Thought everything was great, but I knew I wanted more/ 'Til an eighteen wheeler slammed right into my door (damn)/- Hook

Up, UP from the bed, head squirming & swirling/ This job site's crashed, I wish I could find the foreman/ Shoot past the shoo pests, on to the new dance/ Fuck how your glass looks, up up to a new set/ SHOW me the megaphone, on some 'fuck how you feel' shit/ I'm out, and I'm out, bout to stumble up some REAL steps/- Gotta take some bigger breaths/- I hate this intermission, wanna skip past the commercials/- It's like the only one of us that HATES the damn circles/-

about

The third installment of the Seasonal projects, Tha Spring Sessions is probably the most polished yet. I feel it's a more complete listen than maybe the past projects were. You be tha judge.
