Classic southern rock meets dirty south hip-hop with blues harmonica and wailing guitar solo, the story of a hitchhiker’s journey from NC to Cali to crazy L.A…

Lyrics

Truth-I Verse
Chapel Hill to Los Angeles /
My feet flew me from the east, a wanderer /
Drawn to the streets /
To ponder purpose I was called to find /

Took all the rhymes I had /
Tucked them deep inside my pack /
Hit the road like Kerouac /
Peace and love to Cackalak /

Passing through the Appalachians /
Chasing down the western sky /
Across the mighty Mississippi /
I pursued my quest to fly /

Spread my wings over the heartland /
And glided to the peaks /
Of Rocky mountain snowy summits /
Undisturbed by summer heat /

Drumming beats to seek my visions with /
I sat beneath the stars /
Heard them sing my name at dawn /

With rhythms in my heart /
Proceeded onward like an exodus /
From high among the clouds /
Dancing in the desert wasteland /
Where I vaporized my doubts /

I spun out in the silence /
Cyclonic stormy trance /
Invoking spirit elders /
Lightning striking from my stance /

Hands hot enough to melt the night /
And flood the widest valley /
Then it was on to a pacific sunset in northern Cali /

Chorus 1
I took my time and came from Carolina /
And with my rhymes I’m flowing in California /
Singing in the sunshine /
Dancing in the moonshine /
I’m gone to California with my rhymes /

Truth-I Verse
First time I set foot in the Pacific /
It rendered me a mystic /
Dolphins flipping in the waves /
Like, “welcome home” /

With a quickness, it was Humboldt for the greenery /
Oakland for the slams /
Berkeley for the soul /
Hippie Hill in San Fran /

Spit my verses on the street /
Making just enough to eat /
Blessing each and every person I was fortunate to meet /

Without a beat it’s spoken word /
Sandals scuffing broken curbs /
Breath stitching space /
Weaving in the golden curves /

Swerved my way through Santa Cruz /
Sand smooth beneath my feet /
On to Big Sur to sit pure
And see that life’s complete /

Southbound I was summoned /
And I never saw it coming /
Where the 101 heads inland and the traffic’s steady humming /

Something hovered in my destiny /
An angel city nest /
To help the lost ones find their way /
And seize the day within this mess /

To test my patience to the limits /
Make me master all my stress /
Be the change I want to see /
And let the spirit guide my flesh /

Chorus 2
I took my time and came from Carolina /
And with these rhymes I’m flowing in California /
Soaking in the sunshine /
Dreaming in the moonshine /
I’m gone to California, took my time /

Bridge/Solo

Truth-I Verse
Skid row to Beverly /
Never had I seen such disparity /
Pollution and power lines /
Chaos in my clarity /

In twenty minutes you can see the wealth and destitution /
And superficial bullshit that offers no solutions /
So I did what an artist does and walked to the sea /
Stood on Venice Beach and offered up my pedigree /

Better qi between the particles /
Discernment is the key /
Effortlessly acting /
Applying all the high degrees /

Running food from farmers’ markets /
To the elders in the ‘hood /
As I laid my foundation /
Used my flow like fallen wood /

If you build a dream a cockpit /
To fly you through the storm /
Those lucid wings will lift you /
When your silken days are torn /

From my nest above the city /
On those pretty summer nights /
I’ll fire up the grid and plug you in the CircuiTree of Life /

Hollywood to Old Topanga /
Boardwalk to Malibu /
When the ocean fog rolls in /
I swear I live in Xanadu /
