“Musical Flow”
D Flex
High as the sky
And it’s oh so fly
Can’t quite figure out why
Just that i’m feeling spry
Let my brain float
In the clouds
Speeding like a motor boat
With music making me proud
As I flow
Across the universe
Making love grow
Quenching my first
Bringing passion
And smiles to faces
Along with epic fashion
Transformed into mysterious cases
Creating a new domain
That you never heard of
Sweet as candy canes
Spreading its wings like a dove
Bringing everyone together
Bob Marley singing One Love
Jimi Hendrix jamming forever
Feels like heaven above
Painting faces red
Burning like Fire
Are we all dead
Or is God a liar
Beats rolling like thunder
Got to make some changes screams 2Pac
Before it takes us under
Get on the block
Dancing rain drops beating like drums
With a purpose
Telling ya to load the gun
Fire on all circuits
It’s your chance
To elevate your game
So dance dance dance
Move and groove the train
Jigga and GaGa think outside the box
Spring into action
Rock your socks
Just remember to blast them
Get Naughty Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
Keep on pushing
Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock make it outta sight
Ya’ll must be looking
When it all feels lost
Just Keep Your Head Up
Cause you are The Boss
Always Born To Run

“The Message”
by Derek Felix
Sometimes we need some time
To think things through
Before we’re really fine
And finally got a clue
Only then do we realize
What we desire
Instead of all the devious lies
That set off our burning fire
By then the breaking point
Has finally arrived
Now we’re able to anoint
Of what we’re deprived
No longer is there that pain
Or familiar panic
Which gives us disdain
Turning us into manic
For now our eyes have opened
So finally we see the light
And are no longer broken
With it becoming such a welcome sight
The message has been heard
Telling us what must be done
Singing songs like a chirping bird
Cause this is our day our one

“The Game”
by Derek Felix
It was all a game
She was using me
Driving me mad insane
Teased into a state of misery
Just couldn’t get past that smile
Hypnotized by her precious charms
Like Jimi Hendrix waxing Voodoo Child
Thinking it would do no harm
Little did I know what it was all about
Just an endless game I could never win
Lost in a maze without any clout
Leaving Flex drunk off tonic and gin
Every time our eyes met you lit up the sky
Teasing and flirting the whole damn time
And all I was tripping damn you so fly
You could inspire any dude to rhyme
If I could just have you I’d go insane
Tension rising heart racing melting like ice
I’d wait all night in the pouring rain
Hoping to be together and watch the sunlight rise
Ya had that lovely sparkle in your eyes
Always twinkling a little extra for me
When I stared deep down they could never lie
Just like that you were my fantasy
The one and only who’d make sweet dreams come true
Bumping, grinding as I feel your skin so smooth like white Hershey’s
We’d be as high as the puffy whites in the sky that magically flew
Finally, you’d be my perfect squeeze as I dropped to my knees
It was all planned out in my head
Without knowing you’d vanish into thin air
By the time I’d discovered my heart had broken instead
Couldn’t go on searching and searching every where
But it didn’t matter where I looked
Could never seem to find your pretty face
Aware deep down I was forever shook
With time suddenly unimportant as I was lost in space
It was a game you played so well
Hinting that I’d finally win
Until that ringing from the alarm bell
Now I don’t even know where I’ve been
Thought once one Halloween I caught a glimpse of you
But only stalled before thinking no way
And all these days later I now think it’s true
No wonder I remain off track today
Praying and hoping one day we can meet again
When it’s about as realistic as me hitting the lotto
With my wings ready if it somehow happened
And if it did you’d be my winning ticket

“Misunderstood”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
I’m not like anyone else you know
So don’t bother trying to figure me out
Far from predictable in this place
Like being on a different planet in outer space
As misunderstood as the weather
That runs wild from hot to cold
Suddenly with the wind blowing everything around
Gusting and creating a funky kind of sound
I’m like those stormy clouds you see up above
Floating wherever they desire without care
Rolling thunder and lighting up the sky
Ticking off strangers who curse wondering why
As misunderstood as mother nature itself
Freezing temps one day to mild the next
Almost as if going through its own mood swings
Who knew that it was so much like human beings
Not sure how this really became
Confusing like clear skies turning gray
Turning our moods from delight to somber
Telling us it doesn’t want to be bothered
As misunderstood as the ever changing sky
Going from puffy white to pitch dark
Like the bright happy sun becoming a sad moon
That’s who I am smile fading away into gloom

True enough. This was inspired by a beautiful sunset I saw coming home last week. Proof that there really is hope out there no matter what!![]()

“The Sunset”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
Â
It shines on down for all to see
Taking away the misery
So bright while overlooking you
Admire it and never feel blue
Â
That’s its power which draws you in
Taking ya to a place you’ve never been
Like a sunny Heaven full of light
Reminding you that it’ll be alright
Â
The sunset is always there no matter what
Supplying us with many new thoughts
Lighting everything up in the sky
Turning it volcano red and oh so fly
Â
No matter what you do it’s always there
Take a moment to admire without any care
Relieving the tension when it’s not going your way
Instantly making you picture the month of May
Â
It warms you up all inside
Giving you a sunny ride
All to a place you’ve never seen before
Can’t control the excitement for what’s in store
Â
Oh the sunset is basking in the glow
Painting a perfect picture for those to know
Full of hope minus the screams
Letting us dream the impossible dream
Â
There it was when I was driving home
Grabbing my attention to its wonder zone
On the bridge of all places
Showing me the brightest faces
Â
Suddenly nothing else really mattered
I no longer felt shattered
The message became quite clear
Just go for it without any care
Â
That’s what the sunset can do for us all
When we feel hopeless and against the wall
Just glance up at its bright face and you’ll believe
Of endless possibilities that we can achieve

“Everflowing”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
Â
It’s awfully hard to tell you things
When all they do is play like a game
Flying around in my wild imaginative mind
Just once I’d like to let the river shine
Wondering if it could ever get done
Instead of backing out unloading the gun
Unable to release myself
Screwing up and asking for help
Â
Everflowing in a way should always be
Everflowing and finally set free
Showing true colors we’ve always wanted
Opening eyes no longer feeling haunted
Â
But here I am all alone
As the wind begins to groan
Meditating as a way of salvation
Escaping from the current situation
Oh the struggle it is just to get away
Wishing things went your way
Begging God please
As you drop to your knees
Â
Everflowing like the calm wind on the trees
Everflowing on an early Spring day producing a nice breeze
No longer hiding behind a storm
Finally calm enough to reach the norm

“The Rising Moon”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
As you looked up at the sky
It struck ya right away
Shining and staring back at you oh so fly
Silent but looking as if it had much to say
Politely giving you piece of mind
Reminding you what makes it all worthwhile
It shall always be one of a kind
Turning that frown into a bright smile
Oh what you’d give to reach
The rising moon
Shake it by the hand
And experience it’s special bloom
No matter what it shall always overlook you
Watching over constantly in a quiet manner
Its eyes omnipresent whatever you do
When you glance skyward so easy to appreciate its glamour
No words even need to be spoken
It’s communicating with you in its own unique way
Don’t disregard its presence or you’ll become broken
Ya might not think it but its vital that you stay
Oh what you’d give to reach
The rising moon
Float in the air
Emptying thoughts of doom
Taking you to a different kind of place
Where anything is really possible
Literally flying into unchartered space
No longer held to a different standard or responsible
Instead getting to choose a brand new path
Exploring the many differing dimensions
In a world without remorse or wrath
With whatever you choose grabbing your attention
Oh what you’d give to reach
The rising moon
Enjoying all the elements
With nothing ending soon
Its glow is like a laser light dance party
Where the fun never stops
So chill glide and party hearty
Raise the volume without fear of cops
No curfews bitching or moaning on this orbit
Just plenty of excitement where anyone can scream
And relax without the usual bullshit
Making you realize this is the best ever dream
Oh what you’d give to reach
The rising moon
Its magnetic lights shining all around
With no worry nor gloom

“A Different World”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
Â
Walk to a new kinda place
With mystery and suspense
That makes your heart race
Â
Like discovering and opening a new door
With endless possibilities
And plenty of folklore
Â
This is one of a new dimension
Filled with unpredictablity and excitement
Something different which grabs your attention
Â
As you walk on and explore this place
The anticipation builds
It’s written all over your face
Â
You always pictured this different world
The many paths give you many choices
Which one shall you choose as your diamond pearl
Â
Is it the one to the extreme right
Or could it be one somewhere in the middle
That takes you completely out of sight
Â
It makes you feel high as the sky
Fully aware it’s like a dream come true
One that you hope never dies

“A Mystery”
By Derek Felix AKA D Flex
It’s all just a mystery
Sometimes I wish I could be somewhere
Creating a brand new history
Without any care just a whole lot of cheer
Â
Finally feel like somebody again
Instead of defeated in this dull place
There’d be some place where I’d win
Rediscovering my smile and happy face
Â
With so much more to believe in
Making everything feel alright
Like going from ice cold to warm a new season
Suddenly escaping eternal darkness for glowing light
Â
Meeting lots of cool people with plenty to do
Exploring all that’s out there in this paradise
Instead of sitting around knowing the plain truth
Finally no reason to feel down which would be nice
Â
It’s all just a mystery
Where I am at the moment
Wish it could be ancient history
Those who talk to me sure know it
Â
Sick and tired of having nothing to get excited for
Feel like Bill Murray’s character in Groundhog Day
No wonder I sit and stare at the floor
Without much idea of what to say
Â
This place takes something out of me
It can be quite hard to explain
Going quickly from glee to misery
Like nice weather to stormy rain
Â
Lately I just don’t really care
Cause I’m empty inside
Feel like getting out of here
Maybe it’s time to run away and hide
