about

Taking control of your life and destiny and making something real. Taking control of self and using your heart to guide instead of your thoughts/mind.

lyrics

(Chorus):
Lord, Take Control, make a choice before you take your soul
Make sure it's gonna make you whole
Use your heart or your mind is gonna take its toll...
Your mind is gonna take its toll...

Soon as I bless the mike, the world tunes in
The frequency is loud and clear
depending on what world you're in
The sound is surround, it's not loose or thin
And I ain't just another rapper talkin' about juice and gin
I ain't here for the fame, or to make a name for myself
Or to see my multiplatinum sellin' CD on the shelf
You can see for yourself, the blind are leading the blind
Instead of freeing themselves from the chains that bind
I use a new thread, everytime I lace the rhyme
And I'm not confined, I color outside the lines of space and time
And the day is mine
Beat is breathless, rhymes infectious, ya know
The world at large, never expected this.

(Chorus):
Lord, Take Control, make a choice before you take your soul
Make sure it's gonna make you whole
Use your heart or your mind is gonna take its toll...
Your mind is gonna take its toll...

All this,
Is limitless and lawless
The flow of life is flawless
Whatever name you call it
Harnessing relentless energy
That's endless
And it's, it's just beginning,
I'm just beginning to sense it's
Intensity, intrinsically
It's life-giving, enlightening
Jen-e-fresh, get on the mic and sing.

(Chorus):
Lord, Take Control, make a choice before you take your soul
Make sure it's gonna make you whole
Use your heart or your mind is gonna take its toll...
Your mind is gonna take its toll...

about

The Morning Birds Los Angeles, California

A Toast to the Glass Half Full Crowd
After 2 years of an undying urge, a sense of something to say,
whispers that had to be answered, in a round house with no corners of stagnation, only a vortex of creative force resulting in an opportunity to convert something into something that wasn’t, a world of truths emerged. With hearts full of love, The Morning Birds produce songs of illumination for you ... more
