it was 10th grade. my best friend, Marlon, was a very short guy. my other best friend, Camille, was a very tall young lady. and i was always between them. we were a tight trio. but, they started going off together, without me, more frequently. on one of these occasions, Marlon had to help Camille down a tricky mound from which we’d been perched. i watchd as his diminutive figure led her gangly limbs down to the concrete and off into the disappearing light. my mind thought of a jockey walkn a thoroughbred around the track. i was struggling to share my friends with their new romance. the 22nd song in the countdown to my favourites that I've recorded is 1 that almost nevr saw light of day. I'm glad it's here. and thankful to my sis, Lavina Hunt, 4 agreeing 2 b the face in the graphic. Curtis Scott Whitehead appears on rhythm guitar.
lyrics
i've ben watchn them become lovers for quite sum time now
off in the darkness they go
to create a world of their own
seems like only y'day, we were all just friends
now, i regret my true intentions
i try to force a smile that's neither needed nor worthwhile
i watch from the sidelines w tears n my eyes
i turn to walk away. i'm torn but i wish them well
n the dark i'm feeln my way around
love is lost somewhere between friends
n the dark i'm feeln my way around
hope i find a girl like her next year
the ride to her place filled me up w wishes. she wanted to talk
she askd if i could keep a secret
she said her heart had another keeper
and i was to be left the broken dreamer
i've ben watchn them become closer than lovers
for quite sum time now
off n the darkness they go
to create a world of their own
like a child and his toy, i reluctantly share the both of them

Curtis Scott Whitehead - guitar
Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
