Marcello's Birthday passed a little while back and I wanted to perform the song I ...

... made for him. This song was created while he was still in the womb of Claudine. It's amazing that 4 years later he has grown into the wonderful little boy he is now. Full of comedy, innocence and loving compassion. Please enjoy this live raw performance, I can't wait for the day when Marcello can fully understand the life messages I have given him in this song. 😊

Chorus:
Every person that I meet
Every new location that I reach
Tryna make an impact, impact

There's a reason for the things I choose to do, what I say
I'm tryna make an impact
While I still can...

Verse 1:
Never wanted to make music where you're lost in my words
I like to map it all out, give directional turns
Take you on another journey if you're willing to learn
So to reach higher degrees we let the temperature burn

Step out your comfort zone, can not be limited, like a hunter drone
You can only go so far, ’til you're uncontrolled
Overheads to rock bottom, and even under roads
Don't mind the haters, debaters who speak in undertones

Don't gotta try so hard, show non-conformity
It's not a chore to me, the purpose, the music is more than me
Even the music's intentions mean more to me
If you wanna make a wave then you've got to explore the sea

Only original mind, never declining to forgery
So You can feel the passion, no magic or sorcery
Captivate an audience, acapella or chorus free
Inspiration-driven lyrics, delivering cordially...

Chorus:
Every person that I meet

Tryna make an impact, impact

Verse 2:
Look at my body of work
It's without a rhyme with a curse
Knowing that my only children will acknowledge it first
So to be a role model, I prepare for the birth
My first son is on his way, to make his mark on the earth

Meteor shower indentations, volcanic craters erupting
Power, yes he can take it, (start) building something constructive
Allowing knowledge to waken, with Statements breaking assumptions
Tower the cowards waiting, who blatantly make destruction

Give him a bible, a moral compass, direction
If he ever mirrors me, I pray to God, the best reflection
‘Cause even me at my best, I confess, I see it was not enough
I prevent the damage, and sadness,
Maybe he'll follow up...

You care about somebody? Got to see that through
‘Cause Only Love'll open up and Never Collapse You
We've got to learn from our mistakes and never go back too
So if I can't impact my kids, how can I impact you???

Verbal-D
Chorus:
Every person that I meet
Every new location that I reach
Tryna make an impact, impact

There's a reason for the things I choose to do, what I say
I'm tryna make an impact
While I still can (x2)

Personal Notes: I''m truly blessed to have my own family and experience all the wonderful moments of love, learning life lessons and heartwarming memories that it entails. Raising a family is not always easy but it's so rewarding throughout the hardships and laughter. Big thanks to my good friend Rico Raicoz for the amazing production beat. We will be working on a future collaboration project album together.

If you have a father, or a father figure, call them up and tell them you love them, even visit them. If you are a father, tell and show your children you love them. If you are a father to be, congratulations and enjoy the journey once it begins. :)
