Showcasing the power and brilliance of youth

Spirit Flow by El Jeffe

 

"El Jeffe" is a 14 year old artist who has been in the Hip Hop Literacy program for the past 3 years. His recordings have a consistent quality of authenticity which makes his work particularly appropriate for Jonathan Cox Jr. to review and comment upon. Like Jonathan Cox Jr., El Jeffe is similarly insightful and courageous, sharing profound observations regarding his struggles as a young man. His latest recording is called, "Let it Flow,"  reveals a level of introspection that we rarely associate with teenage males. The lyrics are below:

In touch with spirit flow
Going faster I’m not slow
Pushing through this now 
Wiping sweat off my brow

 feeling stress all my life 
I can't sleep through the night
 get rid of the pain
It’s destroying my brain
Wounding my relationships
Really hard to deal with this 
My family has helped me grow
Now it’s my turn to go

In touch with spirit flow
Going faster I’m not slow
Pushing through this now 
Wiping sweat off my brow

 really feeling pumped 
My abuse is getting dumped
Going down the right path
No one feels my wraith
Everything will be better 
Take my meds  I don’t stutter 
Gonna be a great adult 
I don’t hear the insults

In touch with spirit flow
Going faster I’m not slow
Pushing through this now 
Wiping sweat off my brow

Rising  to the surface 
 finding my true purpose 
Its now my time to shine 
The Problems they decline 
Pushing past going through it
Gotten better we all knew this 
Looking for a solution
I found my evolution 

In touch with spirit flow
Going faster I’m not slow
Pushing through this now 
Wiping sweat off my brow

I have trouble  coping
 not what I was hoping 
I’ve gotten more mature 
Now I must endure
All this testosterone 
Telling me I’m all alone 
But I have my family 
They’re always there for me 

In touch with spirit flow
Going faster I’m not slow
Pushing through this now 
Wiping sweat off my brow
