Note: This song is old. It was the first full song I ever recorded. I think quality-wise, it sounds terrible. However, to this day, people love the damn thing.

Lyrics for Every Minute
She was a sign straight from the skies sublime fine sweeter than wine
Honey coated caramel dime beauty defined
A body that would make angels cry
Walking my Earth like Heaven disguised she filled my mind with desiresLike fate rolling the dice we caught contact of eyes
You remind me of my whip baby I wanna ride
Pretty face and round thighs ma you smoother than rhyme
I could never break your heart that would be crueler than timeIf time is all we have I won’t be waiting in line
It wasn’t just her physical loved the degrees of her mind
Her soul shined like a precious gem – If love is a crime
Her body moved like the ocean – Then I’m ready to dieSoft spoken like a goddess all knowing inside
She had my head piece floating like a rose on the tide
She like dro omnipotent and I wanna get high
I couldn’t handle what my eyes were scoping – vision of lightI think I need you in my life ma just to get by
I’ll bind your heart with a piece of twine and get that knot tied
…Just to get by
I’ll bind your heart with a piece of twine and get that knot tiedI treasure every minute we together as the time flies
Would never think of breaking up the trust that we abide by
Catch your tears make a wish
I wish I may I wish I might make you my lifePrecious gem shining like a diamond in the sunlight
You close to perfection I’m a mess we doing alright
Catch your tears make a wish
I wish I may I wish I might make you my wifeMa I would never change on you
I’ll still remain the same dude with the game and the age old boots
Because I ain’t spend no cake on you I spent time
And I ain’t spit lines nor played games on youI ain’t have to you approached me
We both tipsy off the rum that’s how this O G
Realized the time had come for he to be thee
Type of man that has one ebony queenBut baby we beef and the sex is so sweet
And you be testing me but I pass with no cheats
And we been so broke that at times we don’t eat
So that’s how I know that our roots go so deepYour kiss leaves me weak I place my heart in your keep
Put my soul in these words and these words on this beat
Speakers pumping out my testament of love I think we
Might be just what you and I been dreaming of that’s real speakI treasure every minute we together as the time flies
Would never think of breaking up the trust that we abide by
Catch your tears make a wish
I wish I may I wish I might make you my lifePrecious gem shining like a diamond in the sunlight
You close to perfection I’m a mess we doing alright
Catch your tears make a wish
I wish I may I wish I might make you my wifeTime is you and me holding hands
To the point where I cannot begin to understand where you end and I begin
Time is more than measured spans
It’s that second when our eyes meet and I see that you fully understandThat you need the sort man
That I be and I need the sort woman that can comprehend the things that drive me
More than lovers we’re divine like heavenly participants at least that’s how I see
When you right beside meAnd never will we part from life unto death girl
Our lives are intertwined like music and sex girl
Inject you in my veins whenever I need a fix girl
You’re the heart of my world you’re the pressure I’m the pearlYou’re the magnet I’m the steel attracted to this girl
You never hesitate to let me know that this is real
And that’s real I feel that you are a gift girl
Perfection I want you to understand this girlI treasure every minute we together as the time flies
Would never think of breaking up the trust that we abide by
Catch your tears make a wish
I wish I may I wish I might make you my lifePrecious gem shining like a diamond in the sunlight
You close to perfection I’m a mess we doing alright
Catch your tears make a wish
I wish I may I wish I might make you my wife

Production Notes For Every Minute (from 05!)
My lyrics are often violent and full of negativity (for which I make no excuses…that’s just me) but since the majority of my friends here are female I wanted something softer to start with, something sweet.
However I do not have many lyrics that could be considered “for the ladies”. That’s why this song is an amalgamation of all of my more female-centric verses.
The first verse was written years ago and I always planned on using it with an R&B song (you know, the prerequisite rap part). But since I never actually pursued a musical career nothing ever came of it.
The second verse was more recent, about four to six months old. I wrote it at the request of a friend to put on a similar track of his. The track was never finished correctly so I used the verse on this one.
The third verse presented a problem. I found out that of all of my lyrics I only had those first two verses, so I had to make this one on the spot from scratch. I was at a loss to what the say, so I borrowed a line from one of my poems (Time) and went from there.
The chorus is from a first draft of the second verse. The guy singing it is my man Kaz. The mp3 on here does him no justice; neither does the shitty recording environment we used. He has a pleasing somewhat raspy singing voice. Originally I was going to do the chorus myself (not sing) but got him to do it at the last moment.
The beat is by a guy named Flip Magoo. I got a few instrumental files of his on a torrent site and I like them. But I cannot actually find the guy. I need to get in contact with him. It has an odd reggae ambiance feel to it that I liked.
This was recorded in a closet using Adobe Audition CC and a condenser mic. It was never properly mixed down (as I have no technical musical knowledge whatsoever) and can never be mastered (as I can not afford a studio nor an engineer).
As it stands I would love to record it professionally or at least in a halfway decent studio (or even a not so decent one) because I think it has commercial appeal and could be a hit.
