about
I’m finishing up a brand new stand alone two song single with the amazing Nadirah X! Consider it a digital 45rpm with a Side A: Beautiful Hurt and Side B: All Stressed Up (No Place To Go).
I love colliding worlds and making music with people that cause us to come together, break borders, defy what can be done with our gifts and talents.
If you’re not familiar with Nadirah... she is a brilliant, intelligent and amazing woman. Deepak Chopra said of her, “Her words are direct. They come from the street and hit you in the gut.”
lyrics
Beautiful Hurt
V1
There's a BEAUTIFUL HURT looking back at you baby
There's a beautiful mess looking back on my life
There's an ugly beauty in the lines of my story
A story without a reason or rhyme
CH
Time... woah, woah, woah
Climb... woah, woah, woah
V2
There's a breaking down in the lines of connection
Holy Ghost locked in the pantry door
Broken bridge between love & affection
A bridge that we don't walk no more
CH
(We've got) Time... woah, woah, woah
(We've got to) Climb... woah, woah, woah
V3
Selling ten dollar kisses at the end of the world now
Stirring up trouble with the sun and the moon
Staring in the face of a brand new day now
I haven't even smiled since June
CH
(We've got) Time... woah, woah, woah
(We've got to) Climb... woah, woah, woah
Higher and higher now...
MANTRA:
It's such a beautiful, it's such a beautiful
It's such a beautiful hurt
It's such a beautiful
It's such a beautiful hurt
Higher and higher now
NADIRAH X:
I never walked your line
I never did your time
I tried to be your rhyme
Man I did that time
I never played pretend
Cause I'm real in the end
I never followed dem trends
Man I never ever will blend
But when wi step out a road now
Dem jus love how I flow now
Everyting overload now
Dem waan flex fi di show now
I'm stepping with the cure now
They ain't frontin no more now
Chris we knocking dem doors down
Live in this beautiful hurt
With my face in the dirt
But I'm one with the earth
It's such a beautiful
It's such a beautiful hurt
