Name: Vibing (Msg 2 The White Collar)
Duration: P00H01M20S
Description: Vibing (Msg 2 The White Collar) is one of the tracks where I express my love of music but frustration with not having access to music inside the schools. The cost of buying one’s own instrument as a youngsta locked me out, in addition to there being less opportunities for me to access school programs in Middle and H.S. because I simply was weak in the areas of reading music among other factors.

lyrics

Vibing: Msg 2 The White Collar

If you don’t like Hip Hop Why you take music out the schools? Instead of rappin’ I would be in a Jazz trio

The next member of The Roots Alongside Quest Love Instead of Black Thought I on (own) drums No rhymin’ No lyrics Just key signatures Reading the bass and the treble

If not on the drums Then on the trumpet You feel Soul It’s cuz I’m (Louis) Armstrong’s puppet

With more violins & bows There would be less video hoes With more guitar riffs There would be less pick pockets

Just a guitar case Acting as a giant wallet People clapping Dropping coins While they surrounding... (Music)
