RUBIX HUMAN


Life is filled wit' riddles never meant to be solved
Better seen, and not heard...left behind to dissolve
Into a long lost part of our minds
But its inescapable beauty leaves us frozen in time
So we approach and try to make contact
Divin' in head first, when we need to take a step back
And analyze the operation...pick it apart
Use our mind as a shield and wield it to protect our heart
Cuz in life, heart leads us through life's many transitions
And to me, it's about your heart and aspiration, and not your ambition
But these thoughts don't matter as we throw caution to the wind
Cuz urges and lust lead us to that which is forbidden
So we proceed, cuz the excitement of somethin' new is so tempting
We let our guard down and, sooner or later, a comfort starts to set in
Now that riddle we're still tryin' to solve, begins to solve us
And those early feelings become lost, like Moses in Exodus
Feelings that at first we thought could never be felt towards another
Begin to be our undoing, cuz we left our heart uncovered
Nas once said that sleep is the cousin of death, and now I see
That love must be on the next branch of that family tree
But no matter how many times I fall, I can't ignore
That I'm a glutton for punishment, and I'll be back for more
Life is filled with riddles, but I'm willin' to bet
That none are more confusing......than the opposite sex

Like Today...


Woke up, got up, near 11 O'Clock
Butt-naked, except I was wearin' my socks
And that's cool, cuz most the time this floor is cold
Stand up and stretch, look around this mess
My place has been a cave since she left me
Make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee
Then dip to the bathroom, begin the "Triple S"
Wash the previous evening off me
Now, out the shower, get dry, shove a Q-tip in my ear
Well, what do we have here?
It appears as if a piece of me has got motivation
Ain't nothin' wrong with a little morning masturbation
Fresh, dressed like fifty cents
Clean and awake, now I'm ready to commence
Spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge
And that's pretty much the pattern of how the day begins
And I read for an hour, maybe a half hour more
Then I put on my shoes and grab my key for the door
Put my headphones on for this world I ignore
Trek down the street towards the record store
Hey bro, how you do? Anything new today?
"Naw, man. How you been? It's the same ol' same again"
Well then, I'll be gone friend. I'll see you around
(Peace) and I'm out, destination...Uptown
In the summer time, the women wear a lot of skin
And if I sit in one spot, I can take 'em all in
Sometimes I even talk to see if I can make one grin
And if not, yo, it's cool I ain't gonna take it personal
From Anne Landers, to Annie DeFranco to orphan Annie
I love all women, but most of 'em just can't stand me
I don't know, maybe it's my hair or my clothes
Or maybe she noticed that you was diggin' in your nose
Either way, it's OK...I wasn't tryin' to get laid
I just wanted to say "I hope you have a great day"
And then she stopped, with a smile that began to blush
"Here, take my number, call me up
I'll come over and make you lunch"
Oooh...
I got up and headed down towards the bookstore
To check the titles that my man Micheal's got me lookin' for
My visit was short, cuz I just couldn't feel
That cat behind the counter, actin' like I'm here to steal
So I dipped back out into a crowd of tattoos,
Pierced body parts and colorful hairdos
And I question, "Did Babylon resemble this?
Are we gettin' any closer to the end of the list?"
A sensuous kiss *muah* placed on Apocalypse
We teach 'em how to make a fist, but not to resist
And I'm wonderin', "How'd we find this position?"
To people of people, and I still love 'em (especially the women)
Onwards to the coffee shop, maybe "Muddies"
For a refill and some sociological studies
See the junkies while they co-exist with the sobers
All the buggin' of bibles, to shruggin' shoulders
And that's when I saw her, sippin' her water
I wanna kiss her mom, just for havin' this daughter
Excuse me, Miss...I don't mean to come across strong
But I've been waitin' awhile, and you've been takin' too long
And she smiled...and I began to blush
She asked if I'd like to go to the bathroom, and make some love
And I got visions of us and the mirror gettin' steamed
And that's the very moment I woke up from the dream

Grrr...

Woke up, got up, near 11 O'Clock
Butt-naked, except I was wearin' my socks
And that's cool, cuz most the time this floor is cold
Stand up and stretch......and look for my soul

In tomorrow, I see no promise
And yesterday was like today...

With Women, It's Always Gotta Be Somethin'


I've never been in a serious relationship
Probably cuz I can't relate to chicks
Nowadays, I'm trapped off
Doin' tracks to blast off
Bein' lonely is a regular thing
My phone don't ring...
I'm up in the lab, composin'
Seems like every girl I've chosen, heart's frozen
Or maybe I don't know how to pick, tho
Seems like every chick I know is out to get dough
And I ain't gotta lot of that, and I don't front about it
You think I'ma be hittin' you off without it?
Crazy...
Where they come off at?
I'ma 'bout to start lettin' these broads know off the bat
If you ain't bringin' nothin' to the table, then leave
Give a dude room to breathe, and then maybe you can proceed
Somethin' real instead of the fake
Somethin' you feel and appreciate
Worth the wait

It's always got to be somethin'

It's like...what the heck is this?
You know I'm really tryin' not to be a pessimist
But on the other hand
I cram to understand your plan
Feminine ways is like a maze with a Minotaur in the middle
Women be thinkin' we all dogs without the kennel
You don't even know what I've been through
Cuz y'all be comin' wit' all types of drama I don't wanna get into
All types of temptations,
With your small waist...and thick hips...
Psssh, man...
Look...
Too much to deal wit', for real
You got too much to deal to see if it's real...or not
A couple of ladies I met was on point, tho
A lot of y'all be gettin' me annoyed, tho
It's like you be tryin' see how many hearts you can break in the smallest amount of time
Or maybe I'm......exaggeratin', but it gets aggravatin'
You talkin' another language, and nobody's translatin'
And you can walk a mile in my shoes
But you can never overstand my blues
And that's real

It's always got to be somethin'
