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

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

“God’s Blessed One”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

There you still are
Standing way above
In your own dimension
Moon shining on our star

It was your special way
Of getting our attention
Thank you for being real
And always brightening our day

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

I close my eyes

Swinging in the park

My head can’t tell lies

Like a twinkle suddenly see your spark

That smile so bright

It never burns out

Even blind can still see your twilight

Making me want to call out

Your name is a gift

From up above painting all the love

It’s the wind that smoothly drifts

Spreading your sweet aroma like a dove

That turns my heart so red

Can’t control what’s deep inside

Just desire you beside my bed

No more time to hide

Your magic potion

Sucks me in

Your magic ocean

Makes me swim

Searching for answers out here

As I fly up and down

Can feel ya all around in the air

Now I’ll swim in the sound

Across the ocean I’ll go

To get the point across

You’re the one who glows

My super model forget Kate Moss

Still see your face

Lighting up like Kool Aid

Every time my heart begins to race

Would drink ya up like Minute Maid
 

Taste like sugar and honey

Your kiss giving me chills

Damn girl you’re money

No cost only thrills

Your magic light

Shining like a star

Your magic flight

Taking us so far

On a space shuttle we go

Journeying into a love dimension

Me studying that hair with perfect flow

So consumed cause you’re my mission

That special star

I’ve been striving for

Just take me with you very far

To your world of many doors

Opening up my own amusement park

Flying up and down your rollercoaster

Only us floating in the dark

Creating the perfect kind of poster

Finally just us together

No longer a dream or fantasy

Would truly last forever

You’re the cream of my destiny

Your magic eyes

Lighting it all

Your magic flies

Leaves spreading like Fall

There we swing so high

We’re in the air

Damn you’re so fly

In that moment I shout oh yeah

Catching you by surprise

As your face turns bright sun

Can see the happiness in those eyes

Nothing can get in the way of our fun

It’s like I’m in a zone

Only the best kind

As we roam

And begin to grind

Could never get any better

Than your special being

Our hearts an intertwined love letter

As we reach for the ceiling

Your magic heart

Made me know

Your magic tart

Is why I’ll always glow

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

Close your eyes

Picture a cool blue sky

Filled with endless possibilities

A magical air oh so fly

Nothing to bug ya

On this May night

Just an ocean breeze ahead

Easing it all as the moon shines bright

All you can see

Are the glimmering stars

Lighting the place up

Like Jimi Hendrix shredding the electric guitar

Over some purple haze

Dancing upon all the shining stars

Who burned the roof off

Making ya wonder if they were from Mars

Creating a new dimension

That we always envisioned

Way high above the mountains

Always worth the attention

Making shit you couldn’t imagine

Bringing such spirit alive

Our minds tripping so high

Just like an amusement ride

A rollercoaster of emotions

Going as fast as can be

So out of control

That you can’t even see

There’s Paul McCartney singing “Let It Be”

As you scream in excitement

Fly like a summer breeze

Your brain full of enlightenment

Never felt this way before

It’s like we’re all dancing on cloud nine

Experiencing our stars’ paradise

Making everything stand still even time

You can see your reflection in the moon

It calling you as if it knows

Seems to be saying just let it all ride

Just sitting there you feel its powerful glow

That’s where it all starts

Words and funky sounds inspire

Evolving into stars we see

Making us breathe, scream fire

You feel it everywhere

Smell that burnt toasty sensation

Taking you to a Satanic place

Damn right this is a different vacation

One filled with smoke

Reminding you of a reefer’s heaven

Amongst our stars all blazed up

Closing our eyes while just chilling

Without a doubt a wild party

Giving us perspective into their heads

Like a musical carnival

An escape and meeting of the Grateful Dead

There we see the futuristic souls

Who captivated all that was good

Rocking the house down

While we screamed, shouted and stood

That’s how I see you right now

Proudly introducing yourself to your peers

Working the place as only you could

Producing songs that make even 2Pac say yeah

There you’d be kicking it

While making everyone laugh and smile

Leaving the same vibe that made you special

Just maybe you were the true Voodoo Child

Now you’re part of the club

Spreading your sunshine and love

Making friends of legends

Ya ‘ll standing together way up above
