Ode to D'Angelo

“Shit, Damn, Muthafucka”

The first time I saw you

I knew I wouldn’t forget you

-wanted you to take me “Higher”

You were “Smooth” with “Those Dreamin’ Eyes”

-that “Brown Sugar” complexion

-put a “Jonz in My Bonz”

Had me “Cruisin” “The Line”

For a piece of the “Devil’s Pie,”

Lickin’ the “Chicken Grease” off my finga’s

-up in some “Spanish Joint” just to see ya’

-you make me “Feel like Makin’ Love”

-work it “Left to Right”

-do things saints would leave “Untitled”

And take you all the way back to “Africa”

-the “Voodoo” that you do

I’d like to answer your question: “How does it feel?”

Ode to Chico DeBarge

You’ve been “Iggin’ Me” baby, -“Long Time No See”

“When Can I See You Again” –don’t tell me there’s “No Guarantee”

I’ve got a “Love Jones”

I want you to be my “Soopa’ Man Lover” and I want to be “Ms. Wonderful”

-know your “Heart, Mind & Soul,” “Talk About You”

–maybe even get a little “Sexual”

You got me on “The Edge”

I’ll “Give You What You Want (Fa Sure)”

You can have it “Your Way”

Make me feel like a “Virgin”

Be my “Trouble Man” and make a “Physical Train”

I got “One Love” baby

And I’d like to play “The Game”

And tell you “Was It Good.”

Ode to Maxwell

I’d be “Fortunate” to have you

Will you “Dance Wit Me”

I’d like to give you a little “Sumthin, Sumthin”

“Til’ The Cops Come Knockin’”

Better yet “Each Hour Each Second Each Minute Each Day: Of My Life”

Or “Whenever, Wherever, Whatever” position, time or place you’d like

I’ll be that “Suite Lady” when “Lonely’s the Only Company”

To bother you baby –I’ll be that “Luxury: Cococure”

Like “Gravity: Pushing to Pull” because I’m “Everwanting: To Want You to Want” me.

Maybe you shouldn’t “Know These Things: Shouldn’t You”

-but I’d like to “Submerge: Til We Become the Sun”

Don’t worry “It’s On the Hush, Only U and I Alone”

So let me begin this “Woman’s Work”!

I am here to steal the soul's of man.

Not for any reason, but just because I can.

The day Jesus died, I called at his door,

And it was me that started 'The Great War.'

I have travelled to every part of every land.

I have led monach's to slaughter by the hand.

I've publicly killed world leaders, shot them in the head!

I've caused rebellions and watched you clear up the dead.

I don't have just one name, but am known by many.

And the sin's, to mankind, I like to give a-plenty.

I do it all with a smile upon my face.

I simply love to destroy the human race.

I do it for enjoyment, this game I play.

As long as you beleive in God, so I'll stay.

So roll the dice, take a turn in my game,

Come play with me - The Devil is my name!
