CB Leeuwenhoek, November 2013

CB had an amazing summary rap he performed at the November ST&W and here is the text

Watching the red class, through rapid release glass.
Hiding behind a lens while kids sing, laugh and dance.
Three ancestral aunts are acknowledge through interpretive dance, cash is hurting , please step away from the ledge.
The ghost of Christmas past, all chained up and obsessed, while monopoly is blast for capitalism in the past.
Today celebrating four years of the Mehta clan being obsessed with performance in the class where Aveda hosts it’s guests.
We’ve come together at last with shakers and percussion all performers and all artists on stage without repercussions.
A free space for all, no need to worry, the crowd’s got your back, all fear should be buried.
And never forget, cause the memories of a geisha can make you feel strong cause nobody can replace ya on this stage or time, the wine flowing in cups, but beware of that mountain dew, that piss ruins more than your guts.

But let’s change.

Art done by kids can put a grown man to shame but inspires to persevere and keep going despite how lame you might think you are on stage you keep going until it’s over cause you might spark a flame in whoever’s hiding for cover from their own talent, cause everybody’s got something for the table to bring, next red room they might be up here doing their thing.
Inspired by a gentle stranger last time, I found the courage to top off this stage time and wine.
That stranger, from the top of his mind he could read and recite an entire passage, waiting for Manny to provide a beat.
But we’re not strangers here, we’re all given a beat, cause we’re not strangers here, we’re all friends who’ve yet to meet.
