Funny how when you look for love, you're usually looking in the wrong place
And when you really find it, it is usually a familiar face.
Often times it's all because, you were simply looking too hard.
And after you have opened your eyes, it's THANK YOU LORD.
But I have come to realize, maybe it was me all along
And if I'm not right this time, I can live with being wrong.
One life for one love, is all that I now have to share
So I say this to those, who really do or do not care
Should I live your life or let you attempt to live mine
Place yourself in my shoes, the feeling you can’t define
On the coldest nights, did you offer a coat to shield my back
When things got tough, did you extend a hand to shorten the slack
We’re only two questions in, yet I’m probably faced with two No’s
So I guess I’ll continue, just to see how your luck goes
As I wept through the day, were you a comforting shoulder
The same tears I cried, I now hide because I’m older
But you never stopped to notice or even ask about my feelings
You haven’t spoke a word to assist my process of healing
So My smile is My smile, and I can’t hide it to suit you
You can suit yourself, and believe what you want to be true
The past is the past, and if the present is a gift
I present to you the future, a place I am to drift
And if you ever find me there, give grace and wish me well
For I am in a place of happiness, and forever I am to dwell.

Bought AttentionThere is hope, but I don't have a plan ... over I'm falling cause honestly I don't understand ... and no one is teaching but knowledge we profess... hypothetically speaking your hypothesis is less than an educated guess ... since we have common sense in an uncommon world, why is Pluto not a planet but Bruce is a girl... nine months of schooling all centered around a test... question that goes unanswered is how I learn best... not going to trip because I stumbled on the truth... adults mean well but unconsciously bully the youth... this I was not supposed to tell just speaking my mind... closed ears still hear as closed eyes are not blind ... but what do I know I am really just a child... penny for your thought but your time was worth while! |
This and ThatWho is this dude, girrrrl he looks like he can get it Why does that chick look so thirsty boy I ain’t with it What’s up with this dude can’t he see I’m a ten Why she fronting, I know what that chick did back then… When do I tell this dude, his ole lady been seeing his cousin Why she thinks I’m the one, I can count about dozen Where’s this dude from, he acting like he can find better Why that chick on that “Aquafina flow”, water can’t get wetter How can he, Oh, Hell No!, I Know He Didn’t, This Dude Here Let’s be real, you feel me, make this clear ,This is not, That Chick year |
Capital Murdermy actions should be a reminder but remember my words... forget not that I've written mediate on all you heard my words do flow better when the muse is aroused content within the context are promises over vows paraplegic to these streets with amnesia to who I greet deaf to the fake really blind to who I meet this was not secret, to a degree it was discrete right guards the heart arm and hammer nail to feet weaken from my poetry by the flame my pencil emit put fire to the paper, capital MURDER lead poison commits. |
Numbers Don’t LieNot the person I once was but now twice as nice The third time’s a charm but didn't bring fourth advice If I drank a fifth, drunken mind pled the sixth, I think Take me out, bottom of the seventh, before I eighth and drink Due around the ninth, I give a tenth, so now I’m tithe The person I am, is because I did, not because I tried. |
Bayou BabetYou hear I'm on that NewNew, My brother here's a Tip... Credit Check yourself my chocolate has a chip... F-A-B-O naw I ain't famous.... just having a good time like my name was Amos... I see y'all on the John ain't doing ... Tell your boy that's a female trait, sitting to piss... Real talk, no homo, do what you do ... Out in Cali, Chris crossing s Paul or Ru... Your girl caught a fade I ain't talking bout clippers... top off the bottom I see it's bald through the zipper... so it's balls through my zipper... yea she talk a lot but baby girl a lipper... superdome, shots to the head with no liquor... N.O. two shots to the head and I didn't lick her.. Not taking shots, I’m Out, I guess I hit lick huh... |
State of MindMaine where do I start to address this chick Iowas gonna help her out until she called me mitch Told her I changed, thinking I would front the bill Utah I was stupid, baby girl, gone and chill Well it’s true I drink Minnesotas, Didn’t mind pitching in To think Idaho, boise hell, girl I’m just your friend Can’t buy happiness and Missouri loves company Little mama a throw back, I needed a New Jersery On tour we Rhode Islands I thought she was it She had natural Tennessee that made her legit She talked Illinois, All the way to the end This time I’m bagging up she call me Michigan. |
