Exchanging midnight beats for sleep 'cause time's hard to find
 Spent the whole day hiking through the city on a mission
 Wishing I was living under different conditions
 Looking for a face in the crowd I don't know
 Looking past glass as if my nerves don't show
 Looking for a new way to say one pairs of prints ain't enough
 Me have to bluff me have no trust that makes it hard for me to open up
 But I play the role and now nobody knows what's in me
 I'm past the point of thinking that I could ever win see
 I get all choked up about something that isn't there
 Fair Skinned Earth Autumn Sun Through Black Hair "Where?"
 Over there on college campus ground pavement
 I turn my head it's just a shadow that's how my day went
 My spirits fall like golden leaves from autumn trees
 Collected in the street by the cool as 'trane fall breeze
 Autumn Blue...
 I'm looking out the window just to watch the block
 Residential hotels smack addicts in flocks
 A lazy day waitress with the hand that rocks
 The ladle wipes the table feet below dreadlocks
 Tickled ivories trickle out a modest speaker
 Don't mind being alone but I'd be glad to greet her
 One hundred and twenty miles from home but still in my dome
 Pick up the phone and maybe later I'll see her
 A happy couple crosses Second Ave. holding hands
 I'm glad I'm not happy 'cause I still can't stand
 The weight of a crush a light brush induced blush
 That anxiety rush of that uncomforable hush
 In conversation that two second pause feels like I'm waiting
 For a bus I may have missed when I'm already late and
 It's raining on my clean clothes day four of a new job
 Well maybe it's not that bad but still that moment feels odd
 So I repel it if I can smell it on the verge about to happen
 It seems I'm without words unless I'm freestyle rapping
 But then I'm full of crap and plus my mind is on city
 On the real I feel uptight when all my fronts miss witty
 It's hard to handle microphones I'll light like a gasoline candle
 Face to face I'm feeling square as a handbill
 So I'll head home and try to put it all together
 Get me on my own and all along and I'll be better
 Autumn Blue
