lyrics

ACT OF LOVE:
CHORUS:
I’ve got so much love inside
My soul is buzzing
I can’t hold my love in
Now I gotta walk it
Now I gotta walk it out
I’ve got so much love inside
My soul is buzzing
Talk a little, live the motto
“Walk a little, give a lot of”
Now I gotta walk it
Now I gotta walk it out
(2x)

VERSE 1:
This reminds of the Oceanside Pier on the 4th of July
Before the drinks gone and the Cops role by
This reminds of a drive in the heat of the sun rays on a Sunday
With “Summertime” and “Luchini” on repeat
This reminds of my young days, with tackle Football at the beach
Riding waves, rockin’ a Wave Cap trying to keep my Rows neat
Acting foolish, we’d walk the shore for ladies go and seek
And no ones stepping to us, ‘cause me and my Bros deep
This reminds of a cold sip on a warm night, where’d the day go?
discussing Micro Brews from San Diego
This reminds of them endless cyphers in the parking lot
And when we say we Freestyle, that means its off the top, no premeditated
Late night sessions with a potency
‘Cause I’m from North County, and we breed some dope eMCees
This reminds of a drive in the heat of the sun rays on a Sunday
“It was a Good Day”, “Back in the Days” both on repeat (not a kid anymore)
This reminds of a backyard boogie and a BBQ
You know you are my loved one if I’m back there trying to argue you
This reminds of a group of Skaters tricking candid
I watch they bring me joy even though they seem to never land it
This reminds of a group of 50 standing up shore
To watch their homie baptize, now 50’s in an uproar
This reminds of a drive in the heat of the sun rays on a Sunday
With “Summertime” and “Luchini” on repeat (This is it what)

CHORUS:
I’ve got so much love inside
My soul is buzzing
I can’t hold my love in
Now I gotta walk it
Now I gotta walk it out
I’ve got so much love inside
My soul is buzzing
Talk a little, live the motto
“Walk a little, give a lot of”
Now I gotta walk it
Now I gotta walk it out


Bridge:
I let my feet speak truth to those who haven’t got a clue
because one act of love is worth a thousand words I rap to you
Yeah, a thousand words I rap to you
One act of love is worth a thousand words I rap
(2X)

Poem:
And I’ll be honest, us artists, we use so many words yet we say so little
I aim to be the opposite, I know I met you by the ocean, but let me take you to a palace of stars

Verse 2:
Galaxy bars yo the black Sulu is back
Who knew I’d be that next Rap Guru in fact
You can google this cat
I teach a love based on action, but often times I’m frugal with that
Like the time I met a man with no shoes and tried to give him mine
But next thing it blew my mind
As he respectfully declined, ‘cause all he really wanted to get from me
Is a way to pass the time and what I do know is that
When he asked me, “aye yo you got a way to play this music?
I’ve got a pair of headphones but aint no way to use it”
Grabbed my iPod then thought, “he ‘gon probably loose it”
“I’m sorry bro”, I left there feeling pseudo and whack
He was homeless I approached with a nod, and a greeting
out the norm I could’ve sworn it was God that planned the meeting
Tried to give where he was lacking its odd, the man was needing I could see it
I wonder if his noodles in tact
Then it hit me, I should’ve just asked him
I decided what he needed and intent determined action
I left the man no better than we met, bet
Just telling stories through this music like the Kubo of Rap

Bridge:
I let my feet speak truth to those who haven’t got a clue
because one act of love is worth a thousand words I rap to you
Yeah, a thousand words I rap to you
One act of love is worth a thousand words I rap


CHORUS:
I’ve got so much love inside
My soul is buzzing
I can’t hold my love in
Now I gotta walk it
Now I gotta walk it out
I’ve got so much love inside
My soul is buzzing
Talk a little, live the motto
“Walk a little, give a lot of”
Now I gotta walk it
Now I gotta walk it out
