(music and lyrics by Alan Alexander III)

This one is a digital check as told to the brothers and sisters of Clinton Street. A vision of perfection without need of correction y’all. Seen? Seen!!

 

as a young man I had a great big dream
mash it in a world beat band 
me listen to the radio all day long
mama didn’t understand
me whittle and me fiddle and me noodle
and me doodle and me try to make the music so sweet 
something with a message and a positive vibe 
make you want to move your feet 

(chorus)
when I hear a song to make me stay
sister won’t you let the music play?
the reason for my feeling side
feeling for my reason side
the reason for my feeling side
feeling for my reason side

radio station all across the nation
living in rock and roll dream
they tell you that the music make you feel so good
that’s not the way that it seems
every single song that you hear on the radio
sound like the one before
if you wanna know what’s really going on
check out with the sister next door

(chorus)

A very wise man once say to me “without music life itself would be impossible”. Well it took me a while to figure out what that brother was talking about but I’m here to tell you today that this one is a digital check as told to the brothers and sisters of Clinton Street. A vision of perfection without need of correction y’all. Seen? Seen!!

listen to your soul listen to your bones
listen to the spirit inside
let the music bring to a special place
where your feeling and your reason collide
it might sound strange tell you all the same
you got the power to control this game
don’t let the reason make your feeling tame
don’t let the feeling make your reason insane
