Bonsai is a loosie from the BOJA sessions that didn't make it onto the album. I still like it a lot though, and wanted to share it while we're all still on that wavelength.

lyrics

Life is like a bonsai tree, know what I mean?
Slow it down, focus on the spaces in between
No matter how hopeless to the jokers it may seem,
With small changes over time greatness can be seen
Yes
We do more with a lot less, break new ground in the process
Mock stress
Eagle eyes on the top nest
Not chess, checkers, or a pop test
Progress
Each step bring balance back, that's the object
A new root for each new branch
The wind blows and the leaves dance
Rituals with unique chants echo through the hills,
Send chills of an avalanche
Stunted plans - can't rely on chance or the hands of man
Remain in tune with the natural
Separate the aura from the actual
Lateral growth occurs gradual
I'm a believer that the glass is full
Just a symptom of the push & pull
Elevation so ornate, it's incredible
Never place a product on a pedestal
If you're not buying, then they're selling you
But back to what I'm telling you
The sun shines, but you gotta find it
Set your sights on a new alignment
The climate often harsh but just keep climbing
Notice the gnarled thoughts of the true wisemen
We all adapt to our own environment
Can't define, we rely on it
Whether peaceful or violent
It's how you style it

Uncle Sam MC

I'm releasing new music the first Thursday of every month. Then I'm going back to the studio that night to record the next one.

It's been an incredible journey so far... Who knows where we'll go next?
