“Seasonal Fall”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

The sun sets quicker than usual

Fading away behind dark grays

Suddenly things abruptly change

A howl can be heard above trees

As the wind blows leaves around

Colored maple leafs fly everywhere

With no destination found

Except their landing place doesn’t stick

Floating around up and down

Zig zagging like a trippy maze

That has no logical end

Only a place of season

Flowers begin to lose luster

Still hanging onto summer

Though mother nature starts

Taking over for good

Kids play in parks until dusk

Laughing and screaming in venture

Making it last longer

Cause they know it ain’t forever

Beach days are still here

But pretty soon will disappear

Leaving kids and adults empty

Oh just wait till next year

The sound of music can be heard

Echoing throughout parks

As shouts rain down from swings

While seagulls call out in despair

If only it could last some more

If only Fall ain’t knocking on the door

September lurks in the shadows

School bells blare out like rattles

Can still smell the taste of barbecues

Sucking in the hickory smoke

Reminding us of being free

Without no troubles to stress

Yes, it’s what we love best

If only it didn’t fly west

Rain drops begin to fall from way above

Soon steadying into a set of drums

Followed by heavy pitches

As thunder and lightning take center stage

The downpour foreshadows what’s coming

Leaving everyone bumming

The heatwave’s about to close

No more pool days in this town

Instead it’s forest hangouts

And straight chilling in rooms

Still plenty of laughs had

Only a different scene

That’s no longer timeless

Time to lay back and dream

As August shuts down

We reflect on a banging summer

Filled by rollercoaster screams

Followed by Kool Aid magic grins

It might be over for now

But the show shall return

Envigorating everyone

It’s far from done

Still see your face everyday
Laughing, smiling like a star
Can’t quite get the pic away
Instead, your giggle heard very far

“Your World”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

All I can do is see you

On this cool summer night

Your dark hair blowing around

Like an ocean breeze

Your eyes magnets

Attracting ‘em all

Like glue they want you

The same way I desire

Your precious smile

Lights everything up

Burning like fire

Ready to love

Your face oh so pretty

Painted gold and white flowers

That can brighten our day

And make it worthwhile

You got a magic charm

That makes you rock

When you’re on stage

It’s your show

No one does it better

Which explains your zone

One that makes you loved

Forever and always

When you talk

People listen

Hanging on every word

Cause it’s from the lips of an angel

That’s what keeps me up at night

Easily see images of you floating

Way high in the sky

Smiling and dancing like Tinkerbell

Telling us it’ll be alright

Giving us someone to believe in

In a world filled with deception

Didn’t imagine it damn your real

And that’s what matters

Can still see you in the blink of an eye

Going from emptiness to excitment

You’re the one who makes it fun

Your kiss like fireworks

Igniting my heart

Racing to a new extreme

Knowing you’re worth it

More powerful than money

Cause you’re a star

That shines bright day and night

Good God what a holy sight

You can never lose at life

Too smart, sexy and shiny

Painting it all red

Simply put you’re a work of art

D Flex

You look skyward at the moon

Glowing a golden pear

Surrounded by rainbow heaven clouds

Reaching out as if you can touch its floating dimension

That magically brightens the night

Stars lighting up like Broadway

With spotlights all around

And everyone’s just waiting for it to go dim

And then the curtains shall unfold

Into a stage worthy of God’s angels

Creating a perfect night

That will leave us all breathless

“Flex Freestyle”
D Flex
 
My name is D Flex
And I’m here to stay
Coming at ya
Like every single day
Going hard
To the extreme
Getting down
In funky ass jeans
Always flowing and glowing
Like the moon above
Showing ya ‘ll love
I’m Bob Marley
Calling for peace and harmony
I’m Jimi Hendrix
Singing about Purple Haze
In a cloud of smoke
That could go on for days
Robbing Vic Wertz like Willie Mays
I’m Joe Namath guaranteeing victory
An upset for the ages
It’s Cassius Clay over Sonny Liston
Turning history pages
It’s JFK edging Nixon
Even if it wasn’t on the up and up
But the other a crook
It’s all that and more
With puffy whites staring down
Knock knock knockin’ on Heaven’s door
I’m like Ali
Raising my arms to feel the roar
Of a crowd driven insane
Raising the roof
And giving some proof
Cause that’s what it’s all about
So stand up, scream and shout
That’s how we feel
Which makes us real

“Out Of Sight”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

You can stack chips
Get tips
But what if you lose
Cause your drunk off the booze

Dazed and confused
Seeing angels in circles
Laughing at you cause you refused
To drop the bottle

Now you’re just a sucker
Without your head
Making wrong moves
Getting hustled may as well be dead

It’s time to pack up
And go on home
If you can actually find a ride
You’re looking around with nowhere to hide

Face flush as can be on fire
From Jack Daniels with Grey Goose your best friend
Along with tonic and gin
No wonder you can’t win

Nothing’s gone right in this smokey room
You don’t got a penny
It just wasn’t your night
Out of mind out of sight

“Summer Heat”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

At the crack of dawn

The heat is on everyday

Sun burning down

Like desert clay

You feel it as soon

As you rise up

Could be high noon

About to melt in a cup

Forcing us to lose concentration

Heartbeat on fire

Wishing for a snow mountain

A chill place fulfilling your desire

If only we could get away

To heavenly waterfalls

Sure would brighten our day

Where paradise calls

Instead we’re stuck

In the summer heat

Dry as can be

Feeling a little beat

In Hell’s misery

Satan’s laughing his ass off

As if this is a cruel joke

Enjoying our wrath

Bodies about to smoke

May as well be lit

Barbecued, fried, cooked

No wonder we feel like shit

Everyone incredibly shook

H2O is our medicine

That gets us through

Overcoming the sun villain

That way we stay cool

It’s just a matter

Of trying to survive

Pushing forward

As we stay alive

Yes we’re caught

In the summer heat

Feeling the flames

Fighting ourselves

While praying for rain

The sky so unforgiving

May as well be a vacuum

Deterring the driven

To call for help soon

But that’s not what we’ll do

Can’t give in

To the Devil’s sun

We must be strong and remain true

It’s either become his victim

Or fight the battle

Demonstrating resiliency

Let’s ride now strap on your saddle

Warriors we are

In defiance of an evil fury

Creating our own folklore

En route to glory

Facing an uphill climb

In the summer heat

Meeting the challenge

Despite triple digits

Damn right we got courage

Sun no longer intimidating us

Got our super soakers ready

Turning the tables on Satan

Now who’s real angry

Devil’s advocate

Getting a taste of his own fun

Losing his controlled climate

About to be done

As we aim and fire

Splashing water everywhere

This gun’s for hire

Putting Hell into fear

About to close the book

On our evil foe

Drowning is all it took

To close the show

For some time

We were in summer heat

But got off the mat

With vigor defeating

That black cat

Flex: “The Message”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

Always been seen
A certain way
Expected to be
The same played out play

But what you see
Might actually
Be a mirage
Of how I really am

Another side
Is buried inside
Waiting to get out
Only most don’t know

Being front and center
Has its drawbacks
People whisper
Yeah, real wacked

You’re the ones
Who come off
Completely fake
Ready to stab me in the back

This ain’t a game
I want anymore
Time to be true
Instead of your cure

Can’t be everything
For ya’ ll 24/7
Yeah my wings break
Longing for an escape

It’s like a character
Who changes before our eyes
Done taking calls
Ready to live or die

That’s me to a tee
On this hot summer night
Just let me be free
Like a flock of seagulls in full flight

I want to fight
For what I believe in
Time to make it right
Instead of wondering what could’ve been

So go ahead
Do what you do best
And laugh it up
For God sakes give it a rest

Flex is ready
To move on from the chaos
Showing ya how heady
Ignoring the murderous

Sometimes you gotta
Remember who you are
Yeah rise up
And be that star

I’ll be the one
Flying real high
Lighting shit up
No asking why

The kid who never forgot
Where he came from
Ready to get caught up
And be the prodigal Jew son

Long overdue
To get back to my roots
It never died
Deep down I always knew

Let this be a message
A sign of things to come
Cause I’m moving forward
Like the chosen one

Gonna be wild
The rest of the way
I’m rolling the dice
Doing things my way

“Fly Girl”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

All this time later

Can still see your precious face

Oh so close

Grinning at me with style and grace

Your eyes like a magnet

And I’m glued to them

Like two golden stars

That just sucks me in

Your smile as bright as the moon

Just mesmerizing me

To the point of no return

Tasty sweet like Nestle

Your hair so silky smooth

It could pass for magic

Attracting me instantly

Like the rockstar you are

Yeah you a fly girl

One of a kind

Who makes me lose control

Yeah you a fly girl

That makes me blush

Heart’s on fire for your flow

You had me from Day One

Flirting the whole time

As if you’re teasing

But God damn your what I’m needing

You strutting away

Like the star you are

Damn near impossible not to stare

Leaving me breathless cause that’s your way

Now you’re laughing

Cause you got what I desire

It’s all a game

Like playing with fire

Don’t even care

Girl you so fly

I’m walking on water

On a new eternal high

Yeah you a fly girl

The one whose gold

Never loses its luster

Yeah you a fly girl

Don’t care if you got a man

I just want to know ya

Yeah you got the look

That quenches my thirst

One sip and I’m hooked

Tasting your Starburst

That’s all it would take

Making things right

Much better than cake

So let’s make it out of sight

You nod your head yes

And flash that Kodak grin

All I can think is you’re blessed

Time to get it in

But there you are

Still laughing it up

Cause you’re like crack

One shot in a cup

Yeah you a fly girl

Rising to the top

The cream of the crop

Yeah you a fly girl

Floating way above

Spreading wings of love

Already on Broadway

The star of the show

Spotlights on ya

Carrying a magical glow

Leaving us speechless

At what you caused

You love the attention

Better not pause

In the blink of an eye

You could be gone

Leaving grown men to cry

Singing sad songs

That’s your aura

Which drives me insane

Can never be too sure

No wonder you’re all over my brain

Yeah you a fly girl

The one who

Toys with hearts

Yeah you a fly girl

No matter what

You’ll always be that spark
