*Lyrics inspired by conversation w Felicia Alexis Reid:
How do I get from being a kid like me
To an adult like you?
We good at the past,
But it's the future-unwritten that makes us run too fast...

Leader On

You were raised a funny kid,
Such a charmer is what they said,
You play naive to draw them in,
Loved being loved, then hated,
Love being loved then hated....
Desire fears regret,
Past mistakes keep creeping in,
Other girls they push they pull,
They lead you on till the end,
You lead them on till the end...
He might grow up,
When he gets old,
He might grow up, when he gets old,
But he's already grown,
As a Leader On
Touched her lips in Central Park,
She said she felt the love again,
You play it cool, don't let her in,
You lead her on till the end,
You lead her on till the end...
Met an angel from Korea,
She made you laugh and cry and feel,
You fall, You grow, You fall again...
But then you gave into sin,
And then SHE gave into sin...
She might grow up,
When she get old,
She might grow up, when she get old,
But she already grown,
As a Leader On...
Crawling for her love again,
This road is littered with mistakes,
How much distance left to run,
Don't think just keep movin on,
Don't think just keep movin on,
You are a leader on,
You leading on yourself now.....

You love not, what you should,
You know not, who you are,
You love not, what you should,
You know not, who you are,
In your eyes, She is home
Step closer to where you should,
In your eyes, She is Home,
Step closer to what you love...
You love not, what you should,
Step closer to what you know,
In your eyes, She is home,
Must grow courage to fall......

The Great Surrender
03:39
|

I got a message you'd passsed,
Didn't know what to say,
Knew not how to act
We'll miss your style,
We'll miss your grace,
You gave it all to the great surrender
What is that your Quran say...
That we live and die in Allah's name...
We'll miss your style,
We'll miss your grace,
You gave it all to the great surrender
The children will miss you of this I'm sure,
You were a light in their world so poor...
Ohh Oulaya,
Well miss your grace
You gave it all to the Great Surrender
You gave me a father,
You gave me a dad,
What a fine son that you have,
Markings in the sand,
They tell the life you lived,
You gave it all to the great surrender.
The ships at the dock,
They all ready to swim,
They all ready to go to the Great Surrender....

You wanted someone's heart...
Me, ever quick to play the part,
It was me who gave you all,
That was my great fall
----------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
With me you nowhere you've never been,
With him you somewhere you always been,
-----------------------------------------------------
With him you dress your sun-day best,
Blaming me for your regret,
You and me a chandelier ready to crash...
Hanging on, by a wiry thread
--------------------------------------------------

A Drunk Moroccan lived a life with holes,
Better to carry an empty sack than no sack at all,
Searching for a place for some kind of truth,
Destination,Jumping off point for thousands of hopes....
At a place called...
ALL PLACES FROM HERE
Father said. " Don't forget your roots..."
On a plane to Mecca with millions like you...
Millions of souls, all balck and blue,
Millions of songs singing for some truth...
At a place called...
ALL PLACES FROM HERE
Met a girl, climbed the mountains of Petra,
Sharing stories of your lost loves and battles,
Climbed a mountain, looked at nothing,
But felt something,
Parted ways as friends,
Regret becomes your shadow...
At a place called...
ALL PLACES FROM HERE

Interview 2 w/ MOHSIN about Morocco
Video of My Year in Morocco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTD4mpnt-Qk
Lollipops Crown is a multi-dimensional pilot youth arts/music education initiative I founded under my Fulbright Fellowship. The program aims to empower children via the arts, (specifically those children identified as street children and orphans), and encourage them to pursue creative outlets to express and record their unique experiences and learn new skills. Music and art can be the avenue of not only inspiring the youth, but art can further be a bridge of understanding between America and the Arab world. Since January 2009 I have been working with disadvantaged children, drug addicts and single mothers in Tangier and Kenitra. The work has been grueling and challenging, yet, the impact of this project has been worth the work and hardships. My workshops have combined education in film animation, music, and photography workshops. The outcome of our workshops will be a number of short-animation films produced and directed, and starring the children of the various associations.
