“Catching Magic” – vocals, guitar and beat by Jeremiah the Dreamer released 06/30/2020 – This is a 12 bar blues riff with a couple of long raps. Just getting some live stuff ready!
Verse 1
And once again it’s on – music kids how’s it going
The 12 bar flowing freestyle for the showing
I’m just another dreamer trying to hone my craft
We gonna try and keep it positive so don’t act daft
It’s a blast from the past or straight fast forward
It’s really all a circle – what we trying to move toward?
We spinning on a rock that’s flying through space
Avoiding our destruction with amazing grace
And how sweet is the sound when it’s coming out the speakers
Maybe just enough to get you moving your sneakers
Maybe just enough to set your mood off right
And turn that frown upside down for the rest of the night
And once again we on the edge in a sled – how you doing
I’m feeling weighed down but I’m gonna keep it moving
The weight of the world it kind of kinks my back
But I feed on the drama so thanks for that
I see my glass half full hell it’s filled to the brim
Let me take another sip – come back with a grin
I can guarantee if you hand me the mic
That I’ve got something to spit and it’s gonna be tight
I keep it right to the beat – I can read the room
I can kill them softly or with a big boom
I can rip it all night if the band has my back
We got that beat going crazy like a heart attack
And I’m gonna give them a shock – we just trying to change the channel
In the eye of the storm – still rocking with my halo
We hear the crowd ask for change – the chant is steady
While those at the top think it’s fine already
Those that fear change always ready to fight it
While some just want a nap so they close their eyelids
Me I want a place that I can call my own
But I’ve always kind of felt like I was far from home
To each his own microphone amplify what you thinking
Fight the power from the shower or straight out the kitchen
Give a listen speak your mind kick a beat play your part
It’s easy catching magic when you come from the heart
Verse 2
Let’s bring it back to the top – it’s a salesroom pitch
Where it’s the truth no misogyny man life’s a b!tch
And I always work hard – I ain’t jumping a class
But I can grab that microphone and get up in that a$$
I picked it up – set it down – picked it up again
Always trying to change lanes when I should dig in
Always think I see the truth even when it’s a lie
But I’m gonna keep it hip hop until the day that I die
That’s a throwback from way back – you wouldn’t know it
I’m gonna keep it real until the wind stops blowing
I’m gonna keep it real until I meet my fate
I can’t see it coming guess it’ll be a blind date
Just wait when it happens I’ll hold my head high
I prefer a conversation where I can see their eyes
The mirror to the soul they reveal so much
We all got a tell so keep it real don’t front
People like me wear their heart on their sleeve
Where it’s easily injured you best believe
You can always tell the way that I feel
From my walk from my talk from the whole damn spiel
Nowhere to hide just survive everyday fight the demon
Everyone is battling – they change by the season
Maybe be give them space or give them a hand
We all know life doesn’t go as it’s planned
But that’s the beauty – never boring – Life will throw you a curve
And I know we don’t always get what we deserve
Sometimes we fall short – it was all in the cards
But we gotta stay focused always on the guard
And on the grind ’cause we know the work’s never done
It’s why I never slow down – Keep my pace like a run
Always trying to push the limit – call the stage my own
And I’m starting to really feel like I’m right at home
To each his own microphone amplify what you thinking
Fight the power from the shower or straight out the kitchen
Give a listen speak your mind kick a beat play your part
It’s kinda easy catching magic when you come from the heart
