SYLA Album Vol 2
SYLA (Support Your Local Artists) is an initiative by my friend Ladi to shine a light on and support local artists here in DFW.
The SYLA albums bring together different musicians and poets to collaborate and make something unique from all of their different styles and skills.
The SYLA album volume 2 features music from Ladi, Pat, Marcus Alexander, and Jelen, as well as poetry from myself and Trang.
The whole thing was recorded at Fort Worth Sound
"PRTTY" Is a love poem featuring both me and Trang. I am actually single as hell, and a lot of the inspiration for this poem came after finishing a loving kindness meditation one day.
I had been sitting with the music for a while before that moment, so I knew to take advantage of that inspiration when it came.
"GLTTR" is an erotic poem. Like a nasty nasty poem with some fun word play.
I wrote it on a road trip making frequent stops to record the latest lyrics I had come up with on my phone.
"Wolf of Poetry" is my word play/rap piece on the project.
It was actually inspired by my friend Wayne Henry and his wolf poem. I wrote it just in case I ever needed it during one of our cyphers.
The music these artists created is what inspired me to write a lot of what you hear from me on this project.
I felt like I HAD to write to every instrumental I jumped on, they're that good.
The whole album is really worth a listen from top to bottom.
We started putting it together late last year, and wrapped things up right before holiday season.
It was tricky, and we had a few delays in order to try and keep all the artists safe from COVID, but we managed to pull through and get it done.
Hope you love it !

Lyrics
GLTTR
I freestyle a love note with my tongue on your neck
Glitter on my lips
By the time I'm done
That smells like your skin
Take a swim in your eyes
My hands
Try to massage the tired out of your thighs
You dress up like that for me
Let me help you treat yourself
For all the hard work you've been putting in
Since you like both
I put on a show
Switching between aggression and tenderness
Hand on your throat
Kissing you like waves meet the coast
I know
The road to success
Taking its toll
On you
But those new nails looking good
Ass jiggle like it should
Your energy tonight feels like
Shared laughs set to harp strings
Room smells nice
Got lotion on
Make my hands glide
From your
Smile to your feet
Through a field of flowers
Looking like a
Free range
Home made
Menu here
Season based
Meal
Why you got that top on still
Those moans that slip
When I kiss your breasts
Got my rock on
Back of my mind
Wanna rock your shit
Ain't time to get my rocks off still
Rubbing you down feels like having a sunset to myself
Skin warm as the last day of summer
I wanna bathe you in adoration and positive affirmations
I like to tease til you undress yourself and your voice starts shakin’
Got that WAP
Wet from anticipation
Here, you gotta get your soul naked
Made a playlist for us to play in
My tongue sends your pussy postcards from your toes
Like they're foreign locations
You knew what kind of party this was when I came in
Move your weight over to one side
So I can smack that ass while I bury my face in
I like thighs with the little give to em
Like they're making donations
You look fine as hell
Make me want to sit down
Watch you play with yourself
Love to hit it from the back
It's so fat
You need your own Bible belt
Lost track of time on purpose
Fall deep in u
Hands gripping, squeezing you
Give you all my attention cause you deserve it
Soaking wet and picture perfect
When I smell you on my shirt in the morning
The photographic memories are gonna resurface
Grip right like the secret service
Way you twerk on it
Looks like you rehearsed it
Makes me want to stay inside
Like I got nervous
Fuckin u feels like a wet dream
I promise not to get it on your sheets
Just tell me where to aim
Cause I aim to please
Had such a good time
I don't mind
Taking my shipmates with me
Talk your shit
Don't moderate your speech
You won't have any presidential debate from me
Catch me in your comment section
It's the everything for me
PRTTY
Verse 1: Sin
You're pretty
Like the first laugh after a tragedy is pretty
Your calm is contagious
I want to rest in the corners of your smile
Take you every place just to have you around
The peace you maintain is amazing
Split into
I give into
Self-hatred
You recognize symptoms
Provide patience
Every day I wake
Trying to grow my heart to the size of your greatness
You always think to consider the problems I'm facing
I would let you lead me blindfolded
Out of my comfort zone
To any way you'd like me to show my appreciation
You carefully care for me
I don't know what I ever did to deserve it
But, I’ll never leave you deserted
I'll thunderstorm, flash flood you in kisses
While you cuddle up
Safe inside my kind intentions
This life
Is such a short ride
At every twist and turn
I'm happy to know where together to witness
I'm learning the reciprocate your unconditional
A dollar's worth more
When I can spend it on a meal to split with you
I want to be rich
In time spent with you
Love to hear you laugh at this silly shit I do
Want to cheat on you with you
So I can have more of you
Like a car salesman
You won't believe what I have in store for you
Verse 2: Trang
[Missing Trang’s verse will add in soon!]
Verse 3: Sin
You
Have faith in me
And that’s a terrible thing to waste
I’ll be
The best me I could ever be
A daily practice of empathy and honesty
Hypin' you constantly
You’re the finest that I’ve ever seen
Holding you
I could spend the rest of my life restfully
You’re pretty
Like hope is pretty
Like a shoulder for my tears to call home is pretty
My other half
The way I know it in my bones
Is pretty
Wolf of poetry
The one and only
Alone but never lonely
You may know of
Not too many know me
Day packed full
Most impactful animal
One man army
Admirable admiral
Capital my name when you speak
Capitalize on the lazy and the weak
You cappin
Can't catch a webcast
Liver than watching me casket any beat
Don't expire
Have you retired
Snackin’ on a can of beans
Count on me
Lucky stars for weeks
Wack and wicked
Get winded, wheezin
Tryna run with me
Like they forgot to breathe
Least you got to see
Me show my ass
Before you
Had some
Grass to eat
Hand the pen to me
Watch me casually
Cause casualties
On a winning spree
Top rhyming
You top ramen
Recap the beef
My words did backflips
Ass kicked
All you did
Sit and steam
More trash
Than a middle seat
On a flight
Packed between
Two elderlies
With body odor
And kids to feed
Your shit gets more skips
Than the first porno scene
More trust issues
Than the government
Trust but verify
Terrorize the mic
Ghost write in pairs
Always play both sides
Sign treaty
Fly satellite
At the same damn time
Thermonuclear
Muchos orbitan
Me cuidan
Quieren triangular
Sin entrar al atmósfera
Miran brillar
Quien se quiere arimar
Destrucción total
I’m scarred
Calloused
Textured rough
Like sound of howling wolf
I'm no good
I'm fucked up
Known the duck when the room full
Outside making smokestacks
I'm only here for that spoonful
Old soul
She say I'm shy at the show
Oh no
I just don't shit with a plate some bowls go
Got a job to do
Sometimes bitches go rogue
When you're tryna go postal
Even with your best game
Won't get anywhere
Addressing me by pet names
All business
Everybody friendly
Ain't for friendship
Came here to earn and burn out
Not learn intentions
Keep distance
For mine in your protection
As a curb
I'd succumb to pain
Learned to prey on it
Now I eat that shit for breakfast
Gnarl my teeth
Defend my peace
They aren’t for close inspection
Cry wolf all you want
I ain't coming
Strong with my pack
Alone I'm still a bad motherfucker
You know my howl when you hear it
Don't make an appearance any day
Hills to henhouse
I'ma eat anyway
Then turn loose
Go back to chasing the moon
Stay to myself
You never know who's trying to make a meal out of you
Meal out of you
Wolf of Poetry
Sin
