Digital Album
To Mitigate Friends & Lovers is a collection of songs I wrote in the days preceding Christmas. It allowed me to get back into writing, and hush the quiet swell of dissent coming from the people around me I respect the most saying "Put music out Jahmal!" So, here it is.Free Download

Didn't you know,
All this snow,
Was bringing you down,
Bringing you down?
Couldn't you see,
That your pain,
Was hanging around,
Hanging around.
And it's not for me,
To see that,
You're making a sound,
Not fooling around.
And in time you'll see,
That your nights,
That started in mounds,
Ended in frowns.
And you know,
That this snow
Is calling your name.
And we know,
That you'll blow,
And do it again.
And I'm not afraid to help you.
But we know,
You're playing that game.
And you're not afraid to break through,
But you know,
It's never the same.
Take it from me,
I've seen heights,
And many a crown,
They've all fallen down
Then maybe you'll see,
That your shine,
Is tainted with brown,
You're not coming out.
And it's not for me,
To say that,
You're ending it now,
You won't make a sound.
But maybe it's me,
But those lights?
They're making their rounds,
And letting you down.
And you know,
That this snow
Is calling your name.
And we know,
That you'll blow,
And do it again. - Track Name: This Means War
-
Give a little,
Take a lot.
Give me something,
And make it hot.
For you, for you
Give me loving,
Maybe not
We got you haunted
And then you flop.
Like you do, like you do
And I don't care.
Cuz we can't bear these heavy loads from you.
And by God, I swear,
I can't take it no,
I can't take it from you.
so
This means war,
What do you mean, it hasn't been so long?
I'm not sure,
Without a seam, we can make it hold too long.
This means war
What do you mean, you couldn't see that far?
I'm not sure,
Without a seam, we can make this dream last so long. - Track Name: Aims = Pains

My life comes through with new waves,
And closure comes with new pain.
And vices come for me.
A black boy tragedy,
And you don't cry for me.
My riches make you bleed.
Sings songs and make them hear you,
Shake smiles but they won't trust you.
But vices come for me.
A rich boy tragedy,
And you don't cry for me.
Cuz my star's all you see.
This is not what I signed for.
My aims and pains should mean more.
Still vices come for me.
And won't let my mind be.
My love, don't cry for me.
I lose but you won't see.
This is not what I signed for.
My aims and pains should mean more. - Track Name: Back To Y St.

I know I'm not old,
But I'm older.
It's it over?
Have I grown here?
He told the young me,
That I'd make it,
The world was shaken,
Then I failed it.
And when I tried to take it over,
While we were sober,
They slept over.
And now I'm thinking that I'm older,
My life's warmer, but I'm not bolder.
I go back to why.
And you say we'll be fine.
I called you 7 times.
You've got me on the line,
You're out in Williamsburg Now baby.
Am I crazy? Or was it not me?
To be the one to take you out there,
Still it's not fair, you've made a home there.
I was the one who told you stories,
About the fixies, and New York's glory.
It's taken to much time for me to get there,
But I will get there, by God I do swear.
