Poetic, thoughtful, lyrical. I sound like me and try not to make comparisons to other artists though my influences span decades.
Hi, my name is Derrick Thompson aka Darkwind, Deebo Da Iceman, Black Ice, Bishop. There are strong currents of social and religous thoughts that run through my text and my hope is to be able to transfer some of that to the music. I only hope you can take some time out and enjoy. Easy now, -D

Lyrics
You Can't Have It All written by Derrick Thompson February 25, 2010 Intro: You need to come into the thought It don't matter that you thinkin' hard How you get it on You can't have it all Even when you separate Ya needs from ya wants Good times never last Cycle keep goin' on <~> Hard road, hard tolls You may only pass once This way to find a goal Littered with trashed ones Who gave away their souls Approaching light, ask one You ain't the first I guarantee, you won't be the last one Verse 1: Let's explore the heart of a man Workin' hard as he can To hold the product of his mind In the palm of his hands Willing to occupy his free time For the chance To realize the steep climb Allowed him to stand Redefined, redesigned Yet always true to his plan Even to find like minds Who could view and understand The right time to move To improve and expand Fine minds that paid dues And don't accept that 'they can't' Everything we imagine is possible Becomes the chant The vision turns into a mission The walk into a dance Submission's never entertained Or even given a glance All sacrifice is understood As the cost to advance And subconsciously the thought That they can't have it all Is never lost but tucked away In the depths of the dark Don't want it all anyway But to see that the cause Could take flight cause the fight Was never about the applause Hook: You need to come into the thought It don't matter that you thinkin' hard How you get it on You can't have it all Even when you separate Ya needs from ya wants Bad times never last Cycle keep goin' on <~> Hard road, hard tolls You may only pass once This way to find a goal Littered with trashed ones Who gave away their souls Approaching light, ask one You ain't the first I guarantee, you won't be the last one What happens when men Only work for awards When immoveable thoughts Meet unstoppable force Impossible turns probable One drinks from the source Does he concentrate on loss Or what he gained from the wars Was enough enough, Or Was there longing for more What can be taken from complete When even defeat is a door After we get the answers 'Bout what we here for Your purpose becomes clear And you concede to your call Then admittedly you comprehend You don't need it all Though you see it all Know this thing, you can't be to all Exactly what they'll need you to be At all times, you just can't do everything The person you are in loss Is not who you're meant to be Above all, you're meant to achieve victory In all areas of worth Before you think in defeat You can't have it all But you will have all that you need Hook: You need to come into the thought It don't matter that you thinkin' hard How you get it on You can't have it all Even when you separate Ya needs from ya wants Sad times never last Cycle keep goin' on <~> Hard road, hard tolls You may only pass once This way to find a goal Littered with trashed ones Who gave away their souls Approaching light, ask one You ain't the first I guarantee, you won't be the last one Verse 3: Though you can't have it all That doesn't mean you have to fall If anything, it should mean You know that there's a wall Integrity should be that boundary Of you are Found to be as a basis When it all seems lost But you gon' need to know Right from wrong To go after better things When you think light is gone To choose a better way Because this life ain't long And everything you'd ever need Was really there all along -Really there all along- Out of hardships comes the signs That help is Godsent I advise you through time To walk with caution Before the dream be born And realized as awesome Too many fall victim And are given to abortion You can't have it all for sure But if you just believe I guarantee that you can have All you need Take belief in a dream Even if just a seed Then plan it in the wisdom Of knowing what it will be
