about
A song that developed from an idea into a Vintage Jazz Experimental HipHop fusion. Many messages to unravel in the lyrics, but for the most part the theme is encouragement to utilize one's God given talents in the now.
lyrics
Intro:
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
1st Verse:
Gift’s abound from the sound
and we do it for the crown like the bull dog on the mound
so come one come all
big or small you been called
‘n given gifts for the spirit to uplift
always perfect in his sight
so we sparkle in the light
testifying to the life
to the spirit and it’s might
each one serves a purpose
so pick the grapes from the vine
‘n pay the wages to the workers
‘n his melody fill me up
I overflow cuz it’s never enough
the richness within
not the riches of men
you can add if you want but
there’s no comparison
the melodies of true life
there’s no comparin sin
and there and in is reason why it never ends
science to the tonic must end where it begins
Chorus:
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Today, Today, Today
2nd Verse:
Old wine new wine
oh I’m, on a new mind
sippin on the true vine
trippin off them smooth line
cuz these melodies spill the cup
and make dem lyrics so tough
got me movin like movement of the spirit in us
n’ wash away all dem thoughts of desire and lust
so my soul feel like gold
its just too much to hold
riches so abundant its just too much to fold
you know I’m fully funded wit that new not the old
guided by the spirit we just do what we told
breakin out the mold no more waiting in the cold
my soup hot not luke warm
now tell me what it do for ‘em
make’em rise like a new morning
the youth snorin time move forward
no more waitin, fakin, sideline debatin
tomorrow's not promised this is our time to take it
Chorus:
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Music Melodies fill my cup
Overflow with the Midas touch
Today, Today, Today
