about

This song is a dedication to July 7th and one of my favorite kids born that day. Working on my new album and the art for it made me focus on July 7 for various reasons and this song is made from that energy.

The conversation was recorded on July 7 2014 which was the morning of her 3rd birthday.

lyrics

Dedication
You were a newborn
I was a vagrant
I worked in
Education
I knew I grew scorn
You were a blank slate
I had a
Reputation
I was always forlorn
You were the greatest
I needed
Meditation
I couldn't due the course
You- You taught me to be patient
All of us was waiting on you
We had celebrations
Your Momma tried to dance you out
You said-Nah I'm staying
Your daddy met you on the 7th
I think I met you the 11th
You had a cool demeanor
You were a calming presence
I brought Phife Dog to meet ya
Nina and Phife were family
As were Monty and Mimi
As were Yogi and Remy
I have so many memories
Some of em are light as a feather
Some are very heavy

One time I came to visit
And you were mad at me
I had no clue that it would feel like such a tragedy
I think for two days
You wouldn't even look at me
Luckily Dylan was there
He was the sweetest baby
I tried to snuff it out
I ain't want all the smoke
I'm just an audiophile
On a videophone
It was your birthday and you asked me so I learned to sew
I wrote a song about it
Like to hear it Hear it go
This song ain't on the album
Its just the dedication
This song is Willy Wonka
Charlie in the elevator
A million buttons
Press the last one first
Fly me to the moon Be-
fore this bubble gets to burst
Crazy nerds wield words
Over production
It might seem absurd
Baby birds eat worms
That's disgusting
I don't eat worms
