Good Morning My Love
I woke up and I said to my love, "Good morning"
I looked at the phone, there was a message about the Johnny Tapia movie
Then I went to my bank and I transferred money to cover my taxes
I'm still thinking of the documentary we watched last night, The Road to Las Vegas
And the replay of the Floyd "Money" Mayweather / Oscar de la Hoya fight
But it was a line from "The Road to Las Vegas" that played over and over in my head all night
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
I met a 19-year-old girl on the curb who said she's passionate about social injustices and femininity
She asked me what I cared about
I said my family, my friends, and my dentist who just had an aneurysm
And I love making music, making people laugh, and making sure that my band gets paid
And on the very bright side I think I love gulf coast oysters and crawfish and springtime in New Orleans
Every day I walk and I see men and women walking together in harmony
Every day I walk, I see people walking together in harmony
At the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight, I saw men and women enjoying the night together in harmony
And on my flight home, I saw men and women sitting together in harmony
But the film "Road to Las Vegas", there was a broken harmony
When Johnny Tapia lived la vida loca life, there was a broken harmony
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
Today someone cussed at me about wanting a rare copy vinyl
If you're gonna reach out, please be original and ask me something that makes me smile
That's fantastic that you're passionate about cardboard and listening to music on multi colored plastic
You're a collector of rare vinyl, a total fanatic, that's completely absolutely hip, motherfucking fantastic
But I'm more concerned with how I feel
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
That line in my head, it just keeps going in a ring
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
Remember the cockiness and the brashness and the elusiveness of the Prince Naseem
Its cat-like instincts and that thunderous scale pump struck like lightning
His walk couldn't be touched, like it was weighing my car
One Halloween, one Marco Antonio Barrera torn to pieces by the strange currents that intervened
The Prince derailed like nothing anyone had ever expected to see
I swear to god he could have been the next lightweight southpaw, the Yemeni version of Mohammed Ali
But that's the Prince now
What does 'rekindle' mean?
What does 'rekindle' mean?
And I'm flying to New Orleans
When I wake up in the morning
I'm gonna walk to the bank of the Mississippi River
Look at the bridge that crosses over the city of Algiers
I'm gonna eat a candy apple with my girl
I haven't been with Zero for years cause we can't see
When I get down to the city of New Orleans
I know there's gonna be lightning stormin'
And water gushing down through the street
And the Sun's gonna come out and shine
Down on the rocks
I'm gonna walk down to Pirates alley quarter
And I know we're gonna see men, women, fiddles, guitars together in harmony
Gonna see men, women, and children visit together in harmony
