Dedicated to Lyndzay. It's been eight months. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I know you're standing above watching and smiling over us like the futuristic, kind hearted soul you are. Love ya buddy!

"Futuristic Swag"

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

From the time you rolled

You rocked it under such control

Making shit hot as can be

With you, there was no such thing as misery

Your swag raised it to a whole new level

Kool Aid smile like a dancing devil

Smoking blunts and blazing a trail

Rockstar personified cause you never failed

Life was your work poetry in motion

All the hollering was for love and devotion

You saw the future through a different glass

Filling it up with theatrics and kicking ass

Brought da fire 24/7

It was like God sent ya straight from heaven

A player who never bsed

The present was a gift always so blessed

Making chronic beats

Like Rice Krispy Treats

Bringing da futuristic swag

That made us envision ya on the cover of a mag

Futuristic from the time I knew you

Never twisted as if you flew

Floating across the sky for all to see

Standing oh so high like a G

Rocking the Marley hair

You were top dawg around here

Even if it only lasted over a year

Felt like an eternity know you're still near

Watching proudly from your perch

Preaching ghetto gospel in your new church

Making futuristic believers above

Turned out you were a God of love

Born and raised in Atlanta

Wore your roots over here

Making your Mom so proud

Can still hear your voice above in that mushroom cloud

Making it clear that our journey is far from done

Time for us to raise it and have some fun

Just the way you wanted it always da party

Dancing, grinding, playing dem shawties

Elevating your game

Into another domain

Creating magic beats and futuristic swag

That came from the street wihout any lag

Futuristic a kid with the biggest heart

King of soul always played your part

Reigning supreme in your own league

Cool as the blue sky filled with intrigue

Dyayago Escobar you came to be known

Nayelly inspired ya into a different zone

Doing shit big with P Kohlz and Sheist

Shaolin's version of Montana to Rice

Ya 'll combining for the Pop Off team

Hustling hard to achieve your dream

That's why you were brought here

Bringing your futuristic swag without any fear

Yeah, you did your thing

Leaving it all out while spreading your wings

Literally repping NYC as the city that never sleeps

Cause you never did always playing for keeps

Even got your own sandwich named for ya

Da futuristic I eat to honor you

Right blend of spices that made you unique

Your kicking it smiling with a wink

You raised the roof to the fullest

Setting it on fire like a flamefest

Futuristic swag always around

Damn right, Lyndz you got down

Still see ya on my TV

At the VMAs on MTV

Teaching the posers what the game's all about

A reality check by my nigga with clout

You're the brightest star I always see up in the sky

Creating a spotlight that's oh so fly

Making us wanna blaze to a new high

Even if I get down can't even cry

I love you like a brother

Part of my Jew roots along with the others

Holding ya forever in my heart

Rising up you was a sweet tart

Serving Kool Aid to your extended fam 

Jamming and mugging for the cam

Ya had your own style

Marley and Hendrix a true voodoo child

I know you'll be watching this Thanksgiving

Am plenty thankful that we still living

Your futuristic swag can never lose its place

You were like Ali always the bright face

Tears of joy for all to be had

I'll be thinking of ya you were rad

Futuristic swag shall live on

Shining through every dawn

Why must you always come down so hard on me? What. Like you always seem to know what I'm thinking, right? I'd give my left arm for you but sometimes, being your brother really sucks. I've sacrificed a lot for you at my own expense. Why I'll never know other than having the flawed characteristic of being too unselfish. Same as Dad. I put off work, girls and socializing for a long time that just wasn't normal. A word I loathe because Mom always uses it. As if she would grasp how it's been living here. So out to lunch in her own parade with her new family, it makes me sick.

Sometimes, it's nice hanging out with you and our friends. You're different. More at ease and fun. But whenever it's back home, it's like I don't exist. Even our online buddies are too much. I'm not always trying to push buttons. Maybe I just like debating with them. And everyone always sees me leaving as typical. I'm running away. But what choice do I have when you embarrass me like that? It makes me feel as though I'm not worthy or small.

It's true that we're different. You're more picky while I'm more open. Especially with music. Our personalities are different too. You're more laid back while I'm more vocal. But we share similar humor, which can only be the love of two brothers. I easily frustrate while you just don't. It's like you just take it probably cause of all you've been through. I get more down and you just don't. Sometimes, you're more mature. You have more knowledge of the 80's than me. And some think you're older. Yet we're seven years apart, making me wonder.

"I Want You"

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

If I could be with you

You know I would

I long to see you

If only I could

You're always there in my head

Dancing around heart blood red

I toss and turn in my bed

Hoping for you one day instead

Just can't read what's in your mind

You sure are one of a kind

Like the chance to really know you

Think you want it too but is it true

Every time I see you, my eyes light up

Like taking an Absolut shot in a cup

You're addicting sweet as candy

When God made you, he created a dandy

I love your smile and your eyes

Making Kool Aid to no surprise

You're a sunshine star

Who gets down on the guitar

Rocking it for all to see

Every guy's fantasy

You're awesome in every way

All I desire is just one day

Just to chill with your amazing sight

One that raises it making it dynamite

Been dark all day but you're the light

That shall forever shine bright

I want you no doubt it's true

Dreaming of my boo

Don't care how different we are

Doesn't matter it's not too far

Be my star and it'll be heaven

Like an angel whispering No.11

You've got spunk and heart

No wonder I wanted ya from the start

We're friends no matter what

Just want to know what you're all about

Let's rap off like two dreamers

I know you can make me a believer
