Ryshon is still recording songs in the AM before he checks in at the unemployment office.

Ryshon Jones – Beautiful Lie

this song used to remind me of an old acquaintance. Time passed and now it belongs to HER. Funny how that happens…

**actually haven’t heard it in FOREVER. Decided I NEEDED phrenology on my iPod. Might be my fav albim by The Roots. At least it used to be.

You’re physically in this, but how could we tell
If we was meant to be in bliss if you’re not mentally as well?
This energy you’re sending me is tricky as hell
Usually it’s like a 50/50, we could take a L
Before we start things, at this point being apart brings
The feeling of somebody plucking at your heart strings
I know it probably shouldn’t feel like this
But any other woman I see is in your likeness
It’s from your cheekbones
Yo your lips, to your curves, to your deep moans
To that walk, to your words
You love feeling like a breakdown on the verge
First we on good terms, then you on my last nerves
Got my back just aching, my shoes is all tight
It’s too complex when we choose to do it right
It’s wrong, one minute you a soldier strong
Then you trying a route talking about it’s over and gone
…
Eyes racing back and forth listening to Chaka Khan
Trying to figure the cause why you always acting off
like I’m slacking off
Maybe our signal’s getting crossed
For the case Love, you feel like you making a waste of
Your precious time you need to get a taste of
Some space to breathe, a moment as friends
We should’ve felt ourselves slipping into it again
Cuz it’s like off and on, on and off
Passion, lost and found, found and lost
Clashing, asking for nothing but understanding
Your hearts made of glass, use care when handling
Girl, all in all I never leave you stranded
Cuz my respect you commanded, you figure it out
…
But then I found you girl, and just like me
You had a heart that was yearning to be set free
Now listen, see you and me we need to take the time
To erase any doubt that’s inside your mind
It’s not a mountain that I’m ever too tired to climb
And who’s counting, but I know at least a thousand times
I let you know I’m here for you, care for you, and confide in you
Break bread, share with you, and provide for you
And that’s full time, it’s no 9 to 5 with you
That’s why I’m trying to work it out with you, it’s gonna work

following Meek Mill’s lead with Faded Too Long, Ryshon hops on The Ride
Ryshon Jones – Clouded Visions(The Ride)

Look, they say tomorrow’s not promised, but if it was I wouldn’t get open

I just wanted the world to see I was for real with it

I want me and my whole homeboys to still kick it

I wanna scream at her, catch myself before I start to
And remember it takes 2 people to argue
All she do is provoke me, all I do is diss her

Im tryin’ not to black, Im like a nigga with a complex
Was mad as a Fuck, didn’t even show it
Yesterday was better off, didn’t even know it
Complete role reversal, so it’s useless these days
TV got real, music went fake..
Please help her for God’s sake

Maybe Im exhausted, maybe I just lost it
Maybe I should pick up a pen, try and force it
Same old story, guts and no glory

I reintroduce myself to the world,
Im a artist, I paint pictures, I don’t rhyme words

Been long since I seen this trials and tribulations
Foul situations with some male stipulations
I feel like being an addict is a curse

So you either gon’ make shit happen, watch shit happen
Or not know what happened

There’s dudes with problems I couldn’t imagine having
If I had to have them I couldn’t fathom me lasting

See a person long enough, you know you bound to get fly with ‘em
Care for ‘em, be more than ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ with ‘em
It’s been a while, I cant front like I aint phased
She was my reality check cuz we the same age
I mean, she put on a show that you CANT STAGE!
She made the shit sound effortless,
I was damn near in tears checking my messages
I got goosebumps all over my skin

Hope everything is well kid,

I just wanna tell you that I love you and I care
I wish you all the best throughout the rest of your career

Sometimes the simplest of things, people need it

I think my life’s bad picking up the pieces
Some folk already got their appointment to see Jesus
In this world full of diseases
I’ve learned not to bite my tongue or have seizures
Depression tells me I suck
So I reply ‘I aint here cuz I fell down, Im here cuz I got up’

But go ‘head, you just gon’ wreck yourself
How was you protectin me? You cant protect yourself?
Let’s keep the lies to a minimal,

I aint ign’ant, just cuz I exercise spiritually
They try to ignore how I exercise lyrically

So Im wonderin if a higher power’s tryin to undermine
When you shoot for the stars, sometimes you’re gonna jam

The Getto Boys say it’s ‘All in the Mind’
Certain wounds only heal over time
No shame in my game, no pain no gain
And since I aint seen a prophet(profit) I figured God would stop it

Im still a risk taker, let me put it in words
Cant still 2nd base and keep your foot on 1st

In front of my eyes, that prize keeps getting dangled
But cant grab at it so my pride is being strangled
Workin shawty’s nerves like a personal trainer
But it’s me, its personal, it aint her
Friends keep telling me ‘leave her’, I wont
<strong<Cuz she see’s something in me that I don’t
And I see something in her that yall wont
If you never been in love don’t tell me Im wrong
See I preach gratitude, she keeps her attitude
Argue long enough then the shit becomes laughable
My norm now since for her it’s so natural
Wish I could tell her that ‘All the niggas after you!’
So not compatible, that we’re compatible
It’s nothing else in this world that we would rather do
Anybody out there relate to my pain

Dude was fuckin you but starin at my name
But we aint gotta entertain all that

Why am I meetin so many backstabbers?
Why when Im about to crash I go faster?
Past is a disaster,
When your house is see-through, learn to close your eyes in case the glass shatters
Just sayin, its always a million more pages
When my stupid ass keep thinking im on the last chapter
No tit-for-tat, I aint equipped for that

-JB

I’d like to get up close and personal wit her
