They Asked Me: Why? I Told Them Its Complicated (Part Nine)

 Even on this Sunday morning inquiring minds were asking why? I keep telling them it's complicated!

But we'll play the music plus this good word is dropped consisting of the word on the curb / word in the word; this minister of music, defense and even information felt obligated..

..to put it down like this per this Summer Solstice!  earlier? your dude chilled out in a hidden refuge aka remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta; he avoided the deluge. Earlier? we witnessed the structure unraveling / falling apart, the breakdown? it was complicated / huge! From here in Atlanta to Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz institutional betrayal was even mentioned by others bearing witnesses. Real refractions per ill interactions? officials threw flags like a FIFA World Cup match here in Atlanta jokers aren't playing fair! I guess that's what the deal is!

Others were asking what's the real compared to what like Les McCann and Eddie Harris or maybe even the John Legend and the Roots version!

Earlier? Brotha O was asking WTF or what's that foolishness, I warned many that it's complicated but we kept swerving..

..at your service; and we're back; somebody said we pulled up with wicked melodies slipping by..

..censorship / gatekeepers with their algorithms leading to foul systems asking why? we're even accused of having an arsonist's lullaby!

Thought and fashion police creep up on us heard saying ain't that a shame / they say cry me a river..

..like Justin Timberlake; we told many things are complicated but are our concerns fake? those are the vibes of a non-believer.

Eddie Harris and Les Mccann - Shorty Rides Again

Digital Crate Digging Continues on this Saturday morning but the science dropped is appropriate for any time period! 

The saga / struggle continues as we broadcast live and direct from our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta, can you dig it?

I see how some are trying to play it, like Rep. Jim Jordan interfering with Fani Willis a lot of hubris was shown, maybe an illusion? I see how some are trying to play it, like Mark Meadows trying to move his case to Federal Court probably hiding the falling frailties from all the losing. In reality? jokers were out here rolling like Vivek Ramaswamy, a lot of lamestream activities occurred. In reality? some will find out it's rough out here! all is not what it seems; in the grey area lines blurred.

We're setting off an Afternoon Jazz / O-Dog Day Party vibe early, checking out these jazz funk masters  Eddie Harris and Les Mccann - with Shorty Rides Again.

Out On The Edges (Part Four)

We're still out here on the edges / outside the box; especially after we were thrown under the bus like Trump did  the Kurds over in Syria..

...or maybe like Trump throwing Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo under the bus concerning  Ukraine!! we're still out here on the edges / outside the box but we'll still maintain!!  these brotha will rock!! beats bump plus these good words confront the mass hysteria..

Hustles? check the circumstance!! per Trump vs Mitt Romney's pompous ass somebody is always knocking them!! meanwhile these brothas will keep on rocking them, I told them to back up and give me five feet!

Whats the deal? these folks are ill!! Monday morning? my constituents are out on these highways due to "getting over the hump" maneuvers  but opposed by others trying to move us; in other places the Matrix Architect is talking about alt shift delete!

...from the so called corridors of power to the streets; who keeps it real? per Music Monday? it's like John Legend and the Roots.. compared to what?

Or maybe the Les McCann and Eddie Harris version, whichever one is working, but who's hurting? now crossing borders at the last hour like the GOP concerning impeachment?  meanwhile were dipping through out on I-20 with tires screeching after being out on the edges / after laying in the cut.

So whats up?  it was Friday when I started to write this, so like high school days?  I'm rocking my football jersey!

Barry Sanders number 20!! don't lie to me!! like old school Detroit Lions, said you were blocking!! I had to step away, found out you won't work with me!

Barely understanding us from Grand Avenue up in Detroit to Candler Road in Decatur a hater played us like we were unworthy..

Barely understanding us, now grandstanding like China cutting ties with the Houston Rockets because of Hong Kong Protests; found out you won't work with me!

The mothership was landing us in hostile territory, but we knew what the score would be per being out here on the edges..

A brotha gets breakbeat scientific when telling the story; they key to survival? doing the knowledge is!!
