See, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.
She never knew what little boys could do until she had one.
Tons of fun, hours of play, she loved when her little man smiled at her
his certain way.
Well today's his day...
let's celebrate.
Let's celebrate little man's birthday. And even though Daddy ain't around
because he was gunned down by NY pig pound on the same date
let's celebrate little man's birthday.
And may he live longer... stronger... faster.
Old enough to maybe retaliate with his toast
and boast to the neighborhood folk of how he terrorizes blue coats
because see, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.
See, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.
She never knew what little boys could do until she had one.
Teenage years amongst his peers
brought black boy pressure none the lesser.
Sessions of aggression rehearsed on Nostrand Ave
BK abrasive, sly and persuasive when he swaggered or staggered
in the morning twilight
See, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.
See, she wondered what would become of her son, full of discomfort
His situation turned mother against child
illicit occupation equivalent to incarceration
lifestyle led black boy wild
now he's seven years later into manhood
See, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.
He's the black ethereal grand imperial being from the unseen light
he walks with a bop, swaggers to the right, up the ave.
See, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.
She never knew what little boys could do until she had one.
26 without a witness he was wandering the city streets.
She never knew what little boys could do
and how they often wanted to compete.
He settled his story of American glory by doing fast things in the wild life
See, she wondered in mid-summer what would happen to him in the night.
And see, she wondered in mid-summer what to do
how to celebrate
how to live
how to be free.
See, she wondered in mid-summer how to celebrate his birthday.

Fold recommends:
Tummy Touch Meets Bastard Jazz

Overall a brilliant collaborative record between artists on the Bastard Jazz & Tummy Touch labels. We've also got a remix on there under our old name Mujaji.

We Are All Counting On You, William
by Low in the Sky
Hailed as "the best Downtempo band you've never heard" Low In the Sky deliver a lush, bleepy masterpiece on this, my favourite of their outstanding and highly underrated repertoire.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb.
