"I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash" II

 I listen tah this shit and get fuckin lost!

"I can see all obstacles in my way!"

Brings back happy memories for real!

I'd play it while bathing my daughter when she was little. While dryin her off I'd play that while singin the shit, she'd be smilin. I'd put thah normal baby stuff on her, lotion (Baby Magic), powder (Johnson & Johnson). "But those things are making people ill!" Playesses and Playahs, if yah tryin tah do thah best yo broke ass can, shit...fuck it! I didn't know that shit back then! The shit jUSt smelled good! Baby perfume and shit! I'm sorry! Anyway... Put her diaper on. Put on thah ubiquitous Onezee. Take thah baby soft bristled brush tah get those baby hairs in order! Look her in her eyes on cue with ol Johnny, timin thah shit perfectly and sing, "It's gonnah be a bright (bright), bright (bright), Sunshiny day!" She'd smile. Then lil Mommah had tah eat! And I think she knew! Cause when her Momma wasn't around I would give her "Cheeto's" puffs! It would be messy as hell! But as she got oldah, not so much! She'd look at the tips of her fingers with all this cheesy remnants? She'd point her right thumb and her right index finger at me like, "What do I do with this?" I didn't have tah tell her. She figured it out! And do you know, though I'm allergic like ah muh fuckah tah dairy, I will take ah muh fuckin hydroxyzine or some muh fuckin "Benadryl" once ah muh fuckin month, tah tolerate thah shit!? Cause them shits are delicioUS! And Momma was so cute eatin them delicioUS muh fuckahs! Anyway...

Even though I've been ah depressed sorry ol Black ass muh fuckah most of my fifty-seven years old life, there's some shit I say tah myself,

"Come on playah!? You know yo ass was happy as fuck!"

Makes my ol Black sorry broke ass smile like ah muh fuckah!

And humbles my old Black ass like nobodies muh fuckin business all thah muh fuckin same!

A feel-fuckin-good song!

"Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind!"

Our Father's speed!...

(Peace! More to come...)
