Thank you.
"I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich."
For my great aunt, I'm praying for you.

Why do people make that simple shit so hard to do.

Wise Words.
My great grandmother gave me this poem for my birthday. I've been reading it for a few days now and its a nice reminder that some angels, choose to walk down here with us a little bit longer......
"John, read this & ponder on it sometimes"
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies
Succeed anyway.
The kindness you do today will be forgotten tomorrow
Be kind anyway.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs
Fight for some underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway.
Love.

In the spare time.
I've been a fan of Glenn O' Briens since I saw video clips of him in the 80's. The guy worked for Andy Warhol at interview magazine and gave Blondie, Basquiat and Madonna a voice before any of us cared. The man has been fresh for some 40 odd years so I figured he was worth a few pages.......

When we were young.
I gave no fuck.
Wore my shades on the train last night.
Because I felt like it.
But it makes the person sitting next to me a little nervous.
A family gets on at the next stop.
Their 7 year old is wearing a pair of sunglasses.
Because she feels like it.
But it makes the people standing around her a little nervous.
So she takes them off
She spots me from across the train.
She waves.
I wave back.
She smiles.
I smile back.
She proceeds to put her sunglasses back on.
We give no fuck.

Ocean Views......
The air outside smells like summertime
And swimming pools.
Subtle scents fly in on a idiots wind.
A cities invitation.
I kindly reply, with a cloud of smoke.
From a piece that she bought.
For moments like this one.
I think too much.
So many thoughts that I tend to get lost.
In one or two. Barely living.
Until I'm able to get lost in you.
Borrowing a bit of your heart beat.
If you don't mind.
While you focus on the most perfect flaws in your design.
I selfishly dig into mine and wonder.
What do you see, when you look into me.
Triumph.
Fear.
20 year old tears that read I no longer give a fuck.
And if you met me after 4 I guess your shit out of luck.
Anger.
Kindness.
Posturing with nothing but my passion behind.
Drive.
But it just so happened I picked one hell of a destination.
Pack light for the journey.
Laugh twice while your learning
And remember it all.
If you can.
Maybe you don't see any of the above.
Love.
For everything and anything under the sun.
Trying to make up for when I was young.
Though I still am.
Young king. Writing songs for queens and concubines.
Or something along those lines.
Lust.
Is a given.
Life.
Is for the living.
And I'm far from fred.
At the moment, just floating.
Working with the windows down.
Hoping.
Looking out into the ocean
And knowing what it feels like to be free.
Wondering what you feel
When you look into me......

No limits.
Available Now.
The first mixtape that any of you guys ever heard from me was called "Where Anything Goes Volume 1." 3 years later, we're still standing. We're still strong. Lol. We live our lives based on the premise that we have no limitations. We were born with wings and spend our time here trying to learn how to use them. The journey. The music I make is a reflection of this journey, and I thank all of you taking part in it. From Volume 1 to Air Raid, to High Times and now Volume 2, you guys have been here with. I don't know where this trip is gonna end, but I know the simple fact that we're on it, means we're headed in the right direction. Onward my niggas. Spark Up.

On the road......
Somewhere between California & Texas. Maybe Arizona......We were supposed to have a ride. Some simple plan to take us to Austin for SXSW and then a plane ticket to Chicago. An amazing 2nd half, to a already amazing vacation. But it wasn't meant to be. It's something about the sun in California, some sort of energy that yanks your eyes open like some existential pair of pliars. New York makes you want to work, it makes you want to grind out your lifes ambitions until you reach the mountain top. California makes you want to stop for a moment and look around, celebrate some shit before continuing that long walk up. My trip definitely didn't go as planned, but I'd say it was incredible none the less. I took a moment and celebrated some shit. Took the road less traveled and decided to see a little bit of this country from the ground floor. Kerouac would be proud, although I had to play both saint and sinner on this journey. Part Jack, part Neal, all me and the mountains. Passing by these natural sky scrapers and finding peace in just being. One of those rare moments when somehow being alone makes you feel closer to the rest of the world. Imagining the million before you who walked here, only pushes you harder to make your footprint count. I plan on seeing all that this planet has to offer before I die. I'm working to make sure there are many trips in my future but this one will always stand out. Because it could've gone sooooo many ways and instead chose to take me on the path that it did. Inspired. We live incredible lives you and I, thank god, it's only getting started.......

Split Decisions.
Thinking of the past.
Got my ass.
With my head low.
Wishing I could travel back in time.
For one second.
And undo.
All the damage that's ever been done.
Split decisions.
That divided. But never conquered.
I live to bring people together.
Except the ones that wanted to get close.
What if what I've been searching for.
Already came and went.
Spent patience on borrowed time.
Borrow dimes and threw them back in the fountain.
When I could've been sharing pennies.
But. You live.
You learn.
You turn.
You leave.
and I continue on in the breeze.
A few trees.
Guessing that once again, you weren't the one.
At least, not for me.......

Tomorrow People.
The view from Libya.We're standing on the edge. Preparing to leap at any moment and hoping, that somewhere between the clouds and the ground, we'll grow wings. It's an incredible time to be alive right now. Everyday we wake up something else amazing has happened, something we thought unthinkable only a few hours before. What does it all mean basil? Simply that we should forget words like impossible, deny words like can't, and come to define what this time is all about. Change, Progress, forward motion. Moving torwards a future with so many possibilities, so many opportunities, and blessed with the knowledge that know how to make them. The rules have changed for good and now the only ones we need to follow are our own. The people in power don't believe in us, fuck em. We believe in ourselves. I've been writing since I was 7 years old, I've been making music since I was 13. I couldn't let this dream go if I wanted too. I'm constantly inspired, habitually line stepping over whatever they put in front of me. Try to stop me from finishing this journey, you might dissapoint yourself. I'm in pursuit, taking it all in on the way to the destination. To stop is to fail and failure can't be an option. Not for any of us, not when across the globe, a entire race of people are fighting for the things we take for granted. Tired of being given limits, when to live is limitless. People willing to die for a shot at owning their tomorrows. This is our generation, on the other side of the fence. The least we can do, is strive to do the same. Circumstances aren't as extreme, and we've been handed better means which only implies that we have no excuses. Maybe I'm just rambling, high off life and other drugs listening to music and writing my thoughts as they come. I spend so much time thinking about things I forget to actually go do. That was my resolution this year, to do. To just be what I was put here to be. Amazing. What we were ALL put here to be. For me, the music is only going to get better, I'm only going to get better. I'm only 23. Jordan numbers. Walking this road and sharing the sights the best way I know how.
In short, I'm inspired by all of you, and I hope to return the favor, every day. I'm glad to be here and it's my pleasure to keep going. I hope you feel the same.

These Days.
Blessed.
Moving it all in the right direction.
Fighting forward.
Looking backward gets us nowhere.
Except salty.
When we can brush it off our shoulders and live.
Even if just for a moment.
We'll make it count.
Until we run out of numbers.
In the future.

Game Plan.
Can't sleep. But I find it easier to follow your dreams when your awake. We decided what this year was going to be a long time ago. We don't have to say it, or talk about it. We've talked so much that we ran out of words. This is all about doing, or more so, what we're doing.....Work. Love the future.
Revolution.
Egypt.It's crazy to think broadly about the times we're living in. A few months ago Iran's green revolution was all we heard about, now egypt. Feels like all the arab nations are exploding, or imploding. Not for jihad, or some terrorist regime as our countries news stations would have us believe. But for democracy. For some sense of freedom that we take for granted, every day. They're willing to die for it, not their military but the people. We're living in incredible times, If that's not inspiring, I don't know what is.

Define.
What does webster say about soul? Undefinable by our standards, shit we're just doing our best to make it tangible. Tell me again why we should stop trying, so I can tell why that doesn't matter. Your talking to conquerers here, warriors, heroes. Big booty bitches and blunts reside in the repertoire but more importantly, so do our souls. Never meant to be duplicated, only celebrated. So we do, daily.......

Moment.
Some nights. all the way out here. I feel incredibly.....alone. And disconnected from the world. I suppose time apart is a good thing, absence makes the heart grow fonder, that kind of thing. Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away from my friends, family, this world. and all the work I'm doing is for the sole purpose of being remembered, considered, or connected. one day down the line. We're all just trying to connect, at the end of the day. We just reach differently. My music is my handshake, thank you for not leaving me hanging.....
