lyrics

I dreamt this
As an empathist
So I decided to not resist
I started rapping really fast because I had a lot of sounds to get out.
Some nouns with some doubt.
Not profound, just some shouts.
I felt like I was going to explode, but the force fizzled.
Just some more drizzle.
So my eyes strained to see the world clearly.
Only recognizing things that were near me.
And even those were not the same in the rain,
so I trained myself to understand that things were the same.
I just saw them differently in this weather.
I wondered whether it was raining everywhere,
but then I felt the stare of a handful,
just a sample
of the population.
Eyes reflecting frustration.
Mine? Or Theirs?
We shared
a silent exchange,
and then it didn't seem so strange.
We started talking
while walking
together.
We focused on each other, instead of the weather.
And everything seemed better.
Then I awoke and I wrote this
to give me back my focus.
I hope this helps us weather the storm.
Together and warm.
Even if we seem
unreal like a dream.

Even if we seem unreal like a dream.

about

Mission Man Cary, North Carolina

Mission Man began rapping in 1992, when a friend told him to "kick a rap." Gary (Mission Man) replied, "I can't rap man," but after his friend insisted, Gary did indeed kick a 30 second rap.

He's been making music ever since, and has 14 studio albums, and a live album to his credit. Album 15 will likely be out in 2024. ... more
