Sundry Lite

Alex Dionisio

(interpolates lyrics from “Flavor of the Weak” by American Hi-Fi and “Speak My Mind” by O’hene Savant)

The blessed time
The best place to start is now
The best way to start is to move your feet on the ground
And I could talk days about how people are dead, but I rather stay positive instead
Oh, I cannot stop, the beat will not wait for me so I playfully play with it
And presence of mind, alertness like Pops say
Honest as can be
People are dead of course, but I can’t control them, only control me
Behold, there’s racism still, big time, but there’s interracial relationships still somehow
And the trash is collected as your ass is dissected by me
I keep it light, I be the light
Be heavy? Uh, no way, this way, I’ll show you the light
One day you will see it, it will all make sense, it will come to your senses
And then it’s eventually gonna be the whole world and all the people in it that change to be like this
I don’t fight anything
I’d rather build than destroy
I’d rather support good things than support bad things or take down bad things
Play around with the magic stick, I mean the magic pen
Absolutely, and it’s truly Alex for you, and it’s for me
Everything is a blessing, I keep it lite ‘cause later on that day when you’re right, it will all seem good
It’s never as bad as ya think
And I’m rapping into this thing
I feel like O’hene—there’s nothing you can do when the people are this unconscious, but
There is hope
To stay on you and not on them
You cannot control them, they’re gonna do what the hell they want
But you can do you, behold this
As I hold on to my morals, I go forth, the most beautifulest thing in the world
See, my ex didn’t know a thing about me, Nintendo, she was too stoned, I wish that I could make her see, but I was the flavor of the week
This week is so nice, and it’s going well
It’s gonna be so good, just wait and see
Keep it lite, but keep your shield upright, that’s right
It will be great but you have to do your part, you have to stay on your path and do right
Keep your eyes open, alertness and presence of mind
Keep those ears open and unwaxed, keep those eyes open, relax
As I max out with the rap now
I’m a cat knows how to do it, show you who is the best, blessed, the essence, my raps
Hip-hop didn’t start yesterday
It’s been around for a while now as I smile down on you
I had to tell these rappers, ‘what do you say?’ because I gave ‘em a play and some pay, but now it’s gone away
I wonder how they feel, oh, wait, they don’t feel, that’s right
Have a beat pounding in your ears incessantly? Sometimes you wanna tone it down and chill out
Take a breather as I lead the pack to a beautiful land
Women are the more emotional sex and sexism is still alive but we gotta come to the table if we’re gonna be able
Keep it moving, exercise, let’s just rise, it’s in your eyes
People are scum, but deep down they’re good
Americans are scum, but they’ll get better
It’ll take a long time, but they’ll get there
To be functional, I put my hair up
I don’t like to put sexy on around the homosexuals, that feels wrong
So, I could say the word “fuck,” but that would be like, uh, maybe not now
Take it on down? Only the swear words
There you go, you can play it ‘round your kids, you don’t have to stop play
I am on top of the microphone and my hand’s around it
And my face is rounded as I play around, and
I just ate some food so I’m able to do what I’m doing now for me and you
And I got some rest, and I’m clearheaded
I’m in a nice environment, a good setting so I would bless this, so
Keep yourself safe, drive slow, that machine can kill you, a two ton piece of metal on the road
Why we rush to get home?
Just take it slow, it’s better to be late than dead or injured or in a crash
Eh, yeah, it doesn’t need to be a word, it could be a sound, the message comes in how you say it so just say it proud
I got this, proud and, now it’s just taking it easy so I can feel good
It’s breezy, this is a very cold spring, silent spring, it’s a violent thing what the humans bring
Oh my gosh, oh it’s like… it’s up and down, it’s up and down, and it’s rocky
We could be steady, it’s not steady, do you want it to be steady?
Where is he heading? Do you get it? You’re in a stupor, you’re stupid
You could be smart, you’re asleep, you’re in a coma, and it’s over it seems, but it could not be so
Doesn’t have to stay this way, do you want it to stay this way in this state of play?
Oh, excuse me, I see, let me go back to me
That’s an interesting point, you’re lifting a joint
It’s not addiction if you have a good reason to not do this thing
There’s no such thing as addiction, it can always be stopped, that’s abstention, huh uh
What’s the difference between hope and faith?
Faith is stronger so it seems ‘cause you’ve done the work already, your homework, it’s alone work
You’ve gotta do your role, God will only help you if you do your part, that’s art
As I craft this it goes on the charts
So honest, feels like you can’t be [?] or I mean I fucked up that line
You can’t be honest around these bad people? Huh
Ya know, the bad people, when they see good people they think they’re bad people so fuck ‘em
They don’t matter, I just focus on myself and do my thing and make sure I’m straight and fuck what happens to them
They don’t give a shit about me
I give a shit about me
They’re not gonna do a damn thing ‘cause they ain’t a damn thing
It looks like they’re gonna do shit to you but they’re all bark and no bite
They put themselves out there like they’re big and bad but they’re a pussy cat, some faggots, they’re nothing
No reason to get all nervous, it’s good
Because you’re just being an adult, and you’re taking care of your biz, and you’re not being a little shit
The people out there that are acting like little bitches they don’t matter, so leave ‘em alone, they’ll take themselves down like backyard wrestling on a mattress
Stay cool if you wanna get that ooh
Yeah peace to the people
