Lyrics:
Hobby was an only child
He couldn't see or hear or read.
But heard a voice inside his head
Hobby was the deaf kid.
Started playing toy piano
Practiced morning, noon and night
Got a gig and stole the show
Hobby was a virtuoso.
Now he's playing bop jazz
A Debussy in neck tie.
Wynton came and couldn't speak
When Hobby played "A Love Supreme".
(chorus):
I know you hear something free
Hobby was the bomb inside me
Ears don't feel
Eyes can't see
Hobby was the deaf
King of swing
Saw him on a***nio
You knew that he could really blow
For Hobby had completely floored us
By the time he hit the second chorus
Now he's playin' out s***.
Shaved his hair and started smokin'
Met a girl as sweet as honey
She robbed him blind and stole his money
But found some peace inside a thought
Where his music never stopped.
And out of nowhere came a light
His ears could hear his eyes had sight.
(chorus)
Now Hobby don't play no more
Can't hear the chords that used to move him
He opened up a record shop
The specialty is hip-hop
