Let me take you on a ride Through the annals of my mind Where regrettably I find, I must leave your ass behind You don't love me no more You don't love me You don't love me no more You don't love me Never thought it would be me Losing faith and losing sleep Contemplating my retreat From the things that give me peace Oh honey you don't love me no more It's low down dirty shame Oh you don't love me You don't love me no more Oooo.. Mhhmm... Well...ooo wee Yea... All your dreams and goals I shared While my time and growth was spared Was I dumb or were you scared To admit you never cared Oh see I know you don't love me I'm starting to believe you really don't care And I know you've never been there Oh honey you don't love me no more You don't love me I have faith in better days It's not you I'm gonna blame How can I take your last name When you must heal from all your pain Hey! Huh you don't love me Oh so how can I go on? Oh I know you don't love me no more You don't love me Hey well you stayed out all night long Couldn't get you on the phone Well Say ya out with your friends, well honey I know, I know what time you usually get in Hey but I know you don't love me no more babe But i can on and do a little better without you whoa oh baby You don't You don't need me No, hey baby Ohhhh I know you don't care hey You said that you'd be there but where Where are you know?

On your way to your destination So many folks can become distractions In your life they try to join the ride But they're not real It may be hard to see through their smile Sometimes they call but there's no extra mile That they'll go, oh no, deep down, you know That they're untrue to you (But I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (No I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (When the) problems arise they put up both their hands (And I) can't miss a friend Tell ya that I ain't eva had it's a shame Heeeeeeeeeeeeee When you go out the refuse to pay Then have the nerve to steal from right in front of your face What possessed this mess to cause distress in my life? Walk to the right, don't ignore the sign Walk to the left, child you know that it's time To let them release the hold on your soul Ya gotta make room for somebody else (But I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (No I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (When the) problems arise they put up both their hands (And I) can't miss a friend Tell ya that I ain't eva had it's a shame 'Who is for me let's me know who is not let 'em go" (But I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (No I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (When the) problems arise they put up both their hands (And I) can't miss a friend Tell ya that I ain't eva had it's a shame 'Who is for me let's me know who is not let 'em go" -Sax solo- (But I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (No I) can't miss a friend that I ain't ever had (When the) problems arise they put up both their hands (And I) can't miss a friend Tell ya that I ain't eva had it's a shame 'Who is for me let's me know who is not let 'em go" (3x) "I can't miss a friend, I can't miss a friend, I can't miss a friend" (3x)

The Elements 05:49
Omi, ina, a-a-afefe, aye (6x) Come along enjoy the song but listen carefully Yes it's time, that we bind human kind with the sea Poor mother nature is suffering Is your position to take or bring? Omi, ina, a-a-afefe, aye You better get it in your mind, these are the elements of life Omi, ina, a-a-afefe, aye Children we don't have too much time, protect the elements of life (2x) War, pollution, soul confusion, sick technology Causing pain, acid rain, leaves a stain endlessly I recommend we come back to earth Fight with a purpose, ignite a rebirth Omi, ina, a-a-afefe, aye You better get it in your mind, these are the elements of life Omi, ina, a-a-afefe, aye Children we don't have too much time, protect the elements of life (2x) Leaders are lying to the masses Distorting true reality Ice caps melting in the arctic Fires blazing through the trees Oh, oh, oh ,oh, oh I can't take it no more She can't take it no more We won't take no more Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo,oo (x3) Oooo Everybody say! Heeeeey, hey, hey, hey (repeat as directed)

about

Let's Ride is a six song brain child compiled of my artistic influences, life experiences and SOUL.

Being guided by the most divine, we can traverse through a tumultuous earthly time. Through self discovery we can learn to operate under the umbrella of compassion and further humanity on all fronts.

This album would be NOTHING without the following:
My devoted & loving parents: Rev. Desmond & Dr. Silvia Scaife
My precious grandmothers: Artancy Davis & Delories Scaife
My dedicated & beautiful sisters: (Kateah, Desni, Daleya and Lauhren)

The funkiest souls in NYC: Franklin Rankin, Elè Howell, David Kawamura, Immanuel Williams and Steven Frieder.

My life long friend and confidant: Miriam Elhajli

To my college mentor and vocal coach Professor Lawrence "Larry" Watson: thank you for being such a fountain of knowledge and for pushing me beyond my comfort zone... thank you for giving me Mama Thelma.


To Queen Valerie Simpson: I thank God for you and your timeless contributions to my life and to the lives of millions! You are a national treasure and I salute you.

To Patricia & Steve Joy: thank you for believing in me, being SO cool, and supporting my dream in many ways. You are my family.

Here's another list of names that have inspired me throughout this journey: Ricky McKinney, Katherine Moon, Matthew Peiffer, Andrew Sheron, Christian Sabo, Asia Ashford, Nicole Ashford, Richetta Scaife Stephens, Melvin K. Smith, Apostle Christopher F. Davis, Teresa Rhyne, Dr. William Powell, Eron Smith, Terri Lyne Carrington, Rudene Woodyard, The Lan Doky Family (Niels, Ken & Mai), my ancestors and most importantly GOD
