HEART BURN (INTRO)
02:18
|
|||
You ever feel that nervous feeling? Not exactly in your stomach
more like the upper stomach right below the heart in the middle.
Some people get it when they meet that special someone.
Maybe their first date, that feeling when they finally asked for the number....
First kiss....
Maybe it was their first heist, or first rhyme. The time they made their first tight beat?
Everyone's obessed with First. First Place.
First in line, First to have this or have that. No. 1 ranked. Top of the tax bracket.
A game of firsts...
First step. First day of school. First car. First love.
I wish we'd listen first.
Perhaps slow down and stop to just look at all these people in a hurry.
Observe.
Listen.
Think.
Because first and foremost LOVE is the key to the world. Lets unlock the doors that prevent us from expanding
ourselves spiritually.
Believe in yourself and in everyone around us. Trust the world and emboss yourself in making it a better place. Try your hardest, give your all. Don't hold back or be shy.
Lets fall in love with life shall we?
Lets read and understand what we read. Lets gain knowledge and use it optimistically and to educate.
A long time ago I fell in love with myself. Although to the naked eye I may just seem like a piece of shit loser. Some fat stocky, balding schmuck with man tits but hey, it is what it is.
This love album is a bunch of stories about love. Some are happy, some are heartbreaking. The stories could be totally fiction, or they could be recollections of my own feats and follies chasing the dream.
It seems love is what guides us. It keeps the single on the search and the heartbroken on the mend.
It gives soulmates ecstacy and all of us comfort... knowing what lies ahead.
But don't let love get blindsided. It isn't sex, it's undconditional. forgiving. unmovable.
Love is like styrofoam, you can throw it away but it never disintegrates.
Let love litter your soul until it builds up and overflows.
Pours out of you.
I love smiling and sharing a good laugh. Positivity, Determination, Effort and destiny are all element of LOVE working it's magic in our DNA.
So if it ever seems like you've given up on life with no special interests,, ambitions, goals or loved ones. And maybe you feel the cold from a life full of grief, misery and regret. Maybe you can step close to the circle. Take a deep breathe and reach out your hand. And brace youself for what's to come because LOVE BURNS.

They tried to take away my heart
Tried to dig a hole for my soul
We start off fast
but then it gets old, so old
It rubs you the wrong way don't it
That's when we just break up from it
But those tears will run dry girl..
Trust me don't cry girl...
I have never been a guy who left a girl high and dry
I always hoped to walk away feeling eye to eye
Unforuntately the truth is
it's useless for a truce it's
just the facts of life
when something I had was cut loose
ever since middle school in the room playin nintendo
to college breaking up w/ babes who wanna break windows
perfect ten?
not all of em
plus I'm getting rejected
I'm kind of an ugly schmuck so that's to be expected
But I met a girl once who left my stomach in a twist
had my pulse through the roof she kind of felt like a gift
that came from god
she was an angel I was sprung like a spring box
it didn't work out
I hit rock bottom like a lingcod
pretty soon she moved
to take a shot at the big apple
any chance of me and her was for sure
dismantled
depressed I kept chugging
drinking record shoppping
writing chopping beats and just keep the party popping
Not knowing what the day is waking up at noon tight
keep approaching different women but my game ain't poon tight
laid back I'm still a friend a good laugh til the end
then she came back,
she came back and kissed me when I'd least expect
it seemed I got what i wanted but the time had changed my motto
see I wanted her yesterday but not today or tomorrow
Those feelings really left and now it wasn't bout sex
even for me that's unbelievable but the truth no less
a kiss with no sparks
is a flower that don't bloom
a seed that won't sprout
a bomb that won't boom
I needed to find love but I can't read the signs girl
it wasn't for you and I girl
trust me don't cry girl
They tried to take away my heart
Tried to dig a hole for my soul
We start off fast
but then it gets old, so old
It just rubs you the wrong way don't it
That's when we just break up from it
But those tears will run dry girl..
Trust me don't cry girl...
There was an eight year swing before this girl felt me truly
she wasn't your average Jackie she wasn't even a floosy
I met her in seventh grade and had a crush of all pre-teens
but everybody liked her she was everybody's wet dreams
year after high school somehow i seen her at the mall
working a jewerly kiosk still looking hella bomb
got the number quickly, invited her to my pad
that night we having drinks catching up sharing laughs.
pretty soon in the room our lips touch we in touch
full body massage she moaning like she never been touched
we almost all the way when i hear a car pull up
dang moms came home early now we gotta hold up
I told her bet on the next time and a couple days passed
she called me a couple times but I didn't call her back
now I'm hoopin down the street when guess who shows up?
talking bout why don't you call me? I miss you so much?
I can't lie the whole exchange kinda threw me off
cuz she all up in my face askin why I blew her off
I said hold up
this situations messing with my high girl
this is good bye girl
trust me don't cry girl....
They tried to take away my heart
Tried to dig a hole for my soul
We start off fast
but then it gets old, so old
It just rubs you the wrong way don't it
That's when we just break up from it
But those tears will run dry girl..
Trust me don't cry girl...

See we were caught up in the glam trying to be picture perfect
The relationship was bumpy but we still tried to twerk it
wasn't in the spotlight not behind the scenes
but somewhere in the middle kind of inside the seems
trying to get her out her jeans
tryna get me out the game
2 people with different goals but somehow all the same
one person looking for love
the other wanted the sex
the main thing our personalities determine what's next
what's next is the text of the oldest book written
the immature grow up
the lovestruck get snake biten
smitten kind of heart broke
lost and at a cross roads
just some young guns
young dumb and all alone...
my ohhh my
why ohhh why?
my oh my (dave neuhaus voice)
why ohh why (bob marley or reggae sample)
I said
my oh my
why oh why
do you gotta hold on tight
babe you need to just let go....
Why she wait up all night hoping that he'll come home?
she told him have a good time as he walked out the front do
now it's like 3 and she still tryna stay up
called a couple times and he answered then he'd hang up
now she getting mad, and her minds running risky
he probably cheating on her with a slutty club prissy
little whorin ass chick
prolly blowing all his brains out
the type of ho that let the dude unzip and pull his thang out
imaginations gone wild not girls gone wild
he's just chilling with the boys
playin pool and freestylin
heard his phone ringing
the music too loud
tried to say he'll call her back when the club getting out
to the homies for a night cap
times flying by fast
pretty soon passed out on the couch and just like that
couples go single
trust becomes deception
from head over heels in love
to no connection
it was 3 years ago after their fight over hanging
they started driftin apart so they made a new arrangement
he went back to mom's she kept the condo in tact
taking a break but it wasn't breaking the camels back
a couple weeks go by they on the low but no so sly
everybody know they hooking up but nobody know why
they made it seem a secret no need to hide it
they been together forever why even try to fight it?
maybe raise the excitement? spice up the enchantment
they acted so far apart but have never been more attracted
to each other since they separated
now they talkin bout engagements
sand beaches and sons names
ready to be one flame
before they made it public they planned a weekend getaway
got a spot by the beach
she went early to decorate
had it planned with his fam
to surprise her soulmate
his birthday everyone will be there
it'll be so great
we was there when the door knock made it game time
a man's demise when the police are the "suuuuprise"
on stormy rainy nights a mind races like a waterfall
he was speeding down a windey road when he lost control
spun out
slid around and pounded in the guard rail
fish tailed a couple times
and stopped in the ditch trail
thought he had made it home free but he was stuck and couldn't get out
couple hours later they found him but he already bled out
devastating news for the lady that he loved
to the parents that rasied him shoot everybody was numb
so all future talks of having kids and growing old
now were put on hold
some things you can't control
she'd never forget
she stayed bitter and disengaged
a recluse of sorts
she'd never get re-engaged
or even date I hate to say
that's the way she was inside
so in a way....
that night she also died.

JASMINE RICE

Have you ever been a dudd through the halls in your school
all these people in love feeling like a damn fool?
She was a cure for my heart ache
head aches and aspirin
Connected on accident and I don't know how it happened
slept on many girls but
had plenty chances
one girl for each arm
to all the school dances
any pick of the litter still i give them all passes
But Hot Damn!
Few of them was sexy as Jasmine
Little light skinned lady with that east coast accent
she repped West Virginia
probably whoop up in your ass if
you tried to bring it to her
yeah she kept the script real
she had that good long hair
let the ratchet chicks feel
real shit no lies I somehow caught her eyes
beautiful light brown
but I ain't gonna dramatize
little ol petite thing but had the hourglass curves
hella dudes fantasy who gon get that ass first?
that's a long line, and she knew it she ain't foolish
knew how to use those good looks
to keep her sitchee movin
I was stupid dumb struck love punched in the face dazed
flirting with this girl hanging out for 8 straight days
calling day and night
we talking everynight
we kissed and it felt like an evolution flight
sparks
like dead in the dark
man I found some light
used to feel lonely but now I had some piece of mind
clueless
maybe I was stupid or was foolish
spell bound her trap trapped me up
had me useless
amazed yes I was to her ways and her movements
I loved talking to her she was cool beyond cool whips
sass like billie holiday but prettier and sexier
took her to the prom but she'd never let me get with her
messed around and after that we had a continental drift
something wasn't right
like she didn't wanna kiss?
didn't wanna kick it, I knew something's up with it
pretty soon I found out that my homeboyd hit it
pissed as a mofo felt like a slap stick
got played by this bomb ass puerto rican and black chick
at the time
heart broken
nowadays I'm like that chick?
yeah she still bomb
and I'd love to hit that shit
it's cold the story ended we were friends and that's bout it
then she moved back east
and I ain't heard bout that since
still sometimes before sleep when the brain drift
I reminisce our talks cruising the block in my eight six
ol buick le sabre with the beats in the trunk hot
thinking maybe she loves me
knowing she must not
came a long ways from getting blazed at the bus stop
drinking scotch in coke cans being a fuck off
she taught me a lesson despite how the smoke cleared
I keep it to this day and couldn't care if you know dear?
It's always stay true to you dont' change for no woman
don't sacrifice who you are just to get a lil lovin
Chicks can see right through it when you do whatever they wantin
Don't be a stupid ass givin in that's outta pocket
Solid stay stong and stand firm and Man Learn!
Keep selling ya self out and you bound to get burned
I learned my fucking lesson and I'll never let that happen
Just from a couple weeks in my life spent with Jasmine
seductive or whatever yeah she had a peach of passion
the lust was in the air but she never let me mash it
played me for the fool my love record keeps on skippin
But I'm coming up on game every time I"m never slipping
Have you ever been walking like a dudd through the halls in your school
Seeing all these people in love feeling like a damn fool?
She was a cure for my heart ache like head aches and aspirin
Connected on accident and I don't know why it happened
i slept on many girls but I still had plenty chances
But Hot Damn!
Few of them was sexy as Jasmine

I met her on an Easter Sunday
Spring Time
Fling Time
She smelled like berries and
everything just seemed right
I never had a girl before her
Now the butterflies are
breezing in the sunlight
it's just right
We talking on the phone til it's way too late
even when we hang up I just can't wait
til the next time we get time
to spend with each other
then just like that
you lose her
ya loser!
See I was barely 15 kind of living life free
just an old fashioned guy looking for L-O-V-E
a funny guy nice dude kinda shy kinda rude
immature but got some smarts
not athletic but got some heart
acting hard was the motto
mid 90s keep ya guard up
watch ya back shut ya mouth
don't stir up funk you don't want to start up
Kind of rough growing up
and I did the best I could to mesh
playing hoop outside my house when I met this girl
she was so fresh
I really knew her from middle school
but we never clicked like that
we were friendly like yeah we'd kind of talk
but that was then and it's in the past
but here she is and she looking fresh
and her smile is taking away my breath
I got butterflies
I don't know how to talk
I'm trying too hard
maybe I should back off?
but she feeling me for real and I got her number now were talking
and it feels so damn good if it's puppy love I'm glad I got it....
I met her on an Easter Sunday
Spring Time
Fling Time
She smelled like berries and
everything just seemed right
I never had a girl before her
Now the butterflies are
breezing in the sunlight
it's just right
We talking on the phone til it's way too late
even when we hang up I just can't wait
til the next time we get time
to spend with each other
then just like that
you lose her
ya loser!
This girl was a mystery but I needed no explanation
We'd talk on the phone for hours til like 3 in the A M
I felt like I really had something
She'd kick it at my pad something
was bound to pop off
and pretty soon we in my room hot
and heavy
but let ya dirty minds drift
It wasn't sex but still magical
we had our first kiss
I was so nervous pit in my stomach
then we touched lips...
If I'm falling in puppy love
guess what I just did
I met her on an Easter Sunday
Spring Time
Fling Time
She smelled like berries and
everything just seemed right
I never had a girl before her
Now the butterflies are
breezing in the sunlight
it's just right
We talking on the phone til it's way too late
even when we hang up I just can't wait
til the next time we get time
to spend with each other
then just like that
you lose her
ya loser!
Now this girl has me love struck
On the low and I'm sprung but
we young and free on the come up
we go out she's all done up
head to toe flawless
can't stop looking at her non stop
Pinch me am I conscious?
damn this girl is so hot
We having fun double dating with my dude and her sis
Hit the dollar movies tryna go out and catch a flick
rolling mid 90s wahtever in a 6 due 6
I had the world in my palm fingertips to the wrist
but the jist of this story is I got blindsided
I took too long to commit
and this chick decided to date another guy and
the girl broke my heart into bits
just an empty feeling in a hallow dark hall
We were bumping R Kelly when she let the truth fall
This dude asked to be her man and she said that he can
and I'm the odd man out
WE
didn't pan out
It seems
I should've acted out
not let her leave but I did
I was shocked kind of stunned
just lost in the wind
never anticipated
a devastating end
but through the thick and the thin
we've always remained friends
I met her on an Easter Sunday
Spring Time
Fling Time
She smelled like berries and
everything just seemed right
I never had a girl before her
Now the butterflies are
breezing in the sunlight
it's just right
We talking on the phone til it's way too late
even when we hang up I just can't wait
til the next time we get time
to spend with each other
then just like that
you lose her
ya loser!
Probably no one is listening this deep in the song anyways, so I wanted you to know that I never have
lost that feeling I felt when you liked me. You were and are so cool, I can't say I've ever stopped having these
feelings for you, but I know now we're all grown and "we" has come and gone.
I admit though, I did have my chance once and because of whatever bullshit was going on in my mind, I threw that chance away. We were both grown too and we went out, had a blast. That was my chance to have you but so much was going on in your life. You just got out of a relationship and I could feel you had a lot going on emotionally. I wish I was more mature then because I threw away a chance at love with a girl I considered the "woman of my dreams" at one point. Nowadays I sit back and admire the strong woman you are, secretly I hate on the dudes you date, but don't worry I keep that on the low. Definitely I can't say this to you without stirring up the pot, but I love you girl. Probably have since you broke my heart in 1996 hahaha.
I remember once somebody told me they didn't think you were beautiful. I wanted to punch them in the face sooo bad. To me you've always been beautiful and even moreso as the days pass. Here's the thing, keep respecting yourself and never settle for less , and I will punch one of your boyfriends in the face if they don't realize how blessed they are to have you...
Take care...

PARTNERLESS
04:11
|
|||
It feels real good
once you're all grown
But it's never good
feeling all alone
you be partner-less
all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on your heart
but it feels real good
once you're on your own
no need to compromise
cuz you in control
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on their hearts
i was just a young lad
living at mum's pad
burned in relationships
but never stung bad
I was always too fly to be the new guy
So I was always on my own
no crying no lie
Still got my date on
still got my shades on
cuz my future shines
like a deep breathe of Radon
some call me tasteless
it's not a chain reaction
the women came and went
but I'm still with my faction
kick it anytime we want
ain't got a damn responsibility
not a care in the world
I'm available for everything
but ever so often when the fam gets together
I see all the homies and their fam sit together
or they holding onto one another while we shooting shots
you can tell they in love and giving everything they gots
while they kids run and scream they call it living the dream
having fun with ya girl and ya peops what a scene
my fam deep we did it once a week on the hum bug
while this one bachelor dude try to soak up some
It feels real good
once you're all grown
But it's never good
feeling all alone
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on your heart
but it feels real good
once you're on your own
no need to compromise
cuz you in control
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on their hearts
I spent many days
wishin I found that one
one day I thought I did
but I was just plain dumb
She had a little kid and an ex on her plate
but that didn't mean jack I was down to embrace
whether as step
or fighting a jealous ex
The love I had was for her
ain't mean no disrespect
But It was lust not love
and maybe not even lust
she was with me and with him
so we never had trust
no foundation to build on
so our love's buried
now I'm single again
while some friends are getting..... carried
away in their relationships
some tying the not
some stuck in a rut
some stirring the pot
deep in love
it's like time stops ticking when you with them
some like it, it's hot
some denying they caught
getting hitched finding a soul mate
perfect little partnership
me I'm still single
some people call it partner-less
It feels real good
once you're all grown
But it's never good
feeling all alone
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on your heart
but it feels real good
once you're on your own
no need to compromise
cuz you in control
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on their hearts
you be partner-less
means you got no ties
suffer no heart breaks
never hear they lies
you be partner-less
means you single on the prowl
down for any challenge
never down for the count
you be partner-less
when your mates a user
when you pull they card
they didn't mean to do it to ya
you be partner-less
when you accept that abuse
let em put they hands on you?
and there ain't no excuse
you be partner-less
when the loves hella dull
means you're fire went out
now it's raining bout to snow
you be partner-less
after a life full of love
but even though they gone
they still watching up above
you be partner-less
when they fighting overseas
but they sacrificed everything for you and the seeds
you be partner-less
yeah it feels like you're alone
but love yourself from within
and you'll always feel whole
It feels real good
once you're all grown
But it's never good
feeling all alone
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on your heart
but it feels real good
once you're on your own
no need to compromise
cuz you in control
you be partner-less
but all your friends aren't
these are the days that weigh heavy on their hearts

I STILL LOVE YOU GIRL
04:36
|
|||
I should have known from the get we weren’t two of a kind
They say opposite’s attract but not in our lifetime
Here I am in the dark reminisce on my faults
Tried to flip the script so much it’s like I did summersaults
You see we met on one fine sunny day in the summer
In June, you were so cool and then I asked for your number
We connected, except we couldn’t talk in the open
We went out a couple times but then I left for a moment.
Six months would go by before you called me by chance
I was hanging and banging not even thinking romance
But there you were, grown so much even dialed my digits
Got your own A-P-T and called me up for assistance.
Going to school, had a ride and furniture to fill it
Had the fridge full of heinekin ask me if I’d sip it
Ohh yes of course
there we were it’s like the spark in the dark
you were the light inside my heart
but I was playing the part
we started meshing
went out a few times and started sexing
pretty soon we exclusive
like some TMZ segment
see you stayed true and pure
expected that in return
but I was stuck inside a blur trying to act like I wasn’t yours
I lied and acted like an ass left you hanging a time or mass
Just my luck I lost you twice but both times I won you back
And then you hooked me like a fish, I let it go and fell in love
You were mine and I was yours and what’s next is just because….
i LOVE YOU GIRL......
IT'S JUST BECAUSE.....
i LOVE YOU GIRL..........
IT'S JUST BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GIRL...
V*2
Okay
Now it’s official we a couple doing those boy-girl things
Off to the beach walk on the sand find a pearl in the grains
Snapping pics just left and right it’s like we own the whole world
Our hearts intersect in a straight line we aint’ going in circles
We spin circles in time snapshots in chronologic
Photo albums of good times even the bad I never wanted
See we had that good connection like Verizon cellphones
Swept horizons as a couple like we walking on clouds though
You met mom’s we cooked her food, fried up crab with eggs
At this point the love is shaking and I ain’t no playing games
At the same time I still left you all alone at night
Once you asleep I got out, left South bound on I-five
I left you hanging so many times, lied to you and did you dirty
Screamed and shouted called ya name out while claiming you couldn’t hurt me
But it hurt me to be like that cuz I loved you but I was con-fused
Trying to sit back with my fellas acting like I can’t trust you
But I was tainted from the past even though you were mine and all mine
You wanted love, true love not just temp or part time
All my barriers blew down, we had fought til we fell down
And you free’d me from the curse and now babe I’m spell bound
V*3
Damn, It’s kind of crazy how time flies
I was young now I’m 29,
4 years ago we were brand new
I wasn’t thinking bout wedding rice
Like day and night
It’s like water and oil, they say it’s like
Sometimes you ponder and toil over bullshit til your fuse ignites
Fortunate I am, we could work between our madness bouts
We figured it out every time we thought we skidded we could hash it out
Went to Vegas and you know they what happens stays in Vegas
Luxury suites at the Tropicana watching you win back all our wages
Making esteemed memories you became my queen, my everything
Even though it was long distance we tried to keep it clean.
Road Trips to Ocean Shores, long rides in rental cars
Fun times with digi cams and sometimes we’d over charge
Sometimes get cabin fever, argue, leave mental scars
But always the end result we’d comeback with open arms
Make up to break apart and make a break up again
But it only drew us closer to creating a kid
We bought a spot, I moved in and we were one step away
And next thing we had a son one beautiful august day

IMPURITY
03:09
|
|||
I wanna take her out on the town when it's cold
watch her grab her arms and shiver when i give her my coat
I'm having unpure thoughts and I don't understand why?
I shouldn't be thinking about her I already got a wife
But it's true I can't undo the fact I'm feeling like this
what can I do she prolly got a lot of dudes on the list
a few times we caught eyes and my stomach got a pit
she's so bomb cool and calm basically the perfect chick
but here I am old and taken not available for nathan
if I did make a move then I'm an ass
no mistakin
take me to task yeah I'm thinking
prolly tell the wifey also
just because I felt a vibe trying to see what's up if possible
lost to you, I'm losing you
crazy I never had you though
maybe it's all in my head that you digging me too
but I have to know
if this is LOVE, because I just don't know
two hearts as one they beat and move so slow
the silence in the room keeps us at ease
refreshing the soul like a cool summer breeze
she plays the game and understands the politics
her voice is sexy plus her polished lips
she knows how to move and I'm watching all her steps
somehow not at eye level, I'm focused at the hips
She's a mexican bombshell silky brown skin hell
I'm all up in her trance and she done it so well.
I'm having thoughts in my head
thinking bout you and me
be clouding my vision
messing up the clarity
I'm having unpure thoughts
I'm attracted to your skin
even though the hearts pure
it's also full of sin
you're a dream girl
matter of fact my dream girl
Smart and attractive
plus can curse like the Black Pearl
Vibrant
plus you got style
have me gushing like a hydrant
when I see you all the while
I'm trying to deny it
one day I'll confess
it really doesn't matter
if it makes a holy mess
gotta follow the heart desires
don't be scared
don't be scared
i'm prepared to jump out the plane parachutes and flares
don't you dare turn away
I'm spilling this from the soul
you're the type of woman I'd wouldn't have a problem growing old with
and I truly wish it deep inside my heart
but now i'm crushed
cuz one day I know we'll never hook up ...us...
I'm having thoughts in my head
thinking bout what could be
be clouding my vision
messing up the clarity
I'm having unpure thoughts
and i don't know where to turn
even though the hearts pure
it's full of impurity
Everytime I see her the day gets brighter
It makes me wonder how obvious it is I like her
It's kind of hard juggling these feelings deep inside
when you know you got a spark and wanna see the fire rise
chemistry endlessly she makes me squeemish
definitely the type of dream I wouldn't wanna be pinched
and i hope she feels the same way
but you know how that goes
everybody wants somebody else
broken heart woes
taking that risk would risk more than a friendship
pouring your heart out to your boss
creates more than one exit
I'm confessing I'm reading body language like it's braille
because I feel it, really real it makes the back tingle
this is destiny like Mi Amore in my cucina
I could get along with her no doubt
I'm a believer
I felt a connection, not perfection but something right
when I met her
put me at ease like God please don't let her leave my life don't let her.
I'm a dreamer reaching high and she's probably out my league
But I'm a dreamer and having her is what I need
I seen a lot of things
til the point I'm seeing three
Love Burns
burns beyond the third degree
I'm having thoughts in my head
thinking bout you and me
be clouding my vision
messing up the clarity
I'm having unpure visions
I'm attracted to your skin
even though the hearts pure
it's also full of sin
I'm having thoughts in my head
thinking bout you and me
be clouding my vision
messing up the clarity
I'm having unpure thoughts
I'm attracted to your skin
even though the hearts pure
it's also full of impurity

He's the homie
she's the chick
always there for ya even take the hit
when the times get rough and ya feeling low
you can bet ya bottom dolla they be down fo sho
she's the homie
he's ya patna
best friends more like fam
and you know they got ya propa
in the grand scheme of things
they help you weed out the phonies
she's the homie...
he's the homie...
Now Jack knew Sara from around the way
they grew up in the same neighborhood back in the day
went to the same school
took the same bus and plus
they'd be playing in the neighborhood kids stuff and such
got they first connection between third and forth
summertime lounging made the illest tree forts
Sara lived with moms and had said her dad died
she didn't cry she said he was fighting for the right side
and likewise jack was calm as he said his dad left
wasn't man enough to be the man
his mom took the quest
Now a bond had been created that no one could ever break
Jack loved Sara he'd protect her make her safe
from elementary to middle school friends through adolescence
and it didn't get weird when they got all prepubescent
of course they hung with other friends but they'd always talk
even in high school they were still each other's rock
somebody to count on
not judge just support you
always down to lend a hand or give a heads up and warn you
ain't no fair weather friend
always there til the end
through the thick and thin
rain sleet or snow can ya dig?
He's the homie
she's the chick
always there for ya even take the hit
when the times get rough and ya feeling low
you can bet ya bottom dolla they be down fo sho
she's the homie
he's ya patna
best friends more like fam
and you know they got ya propa
in the grand scheme of things
they help you weed out the phonies
she's the homie...
he's the homie...
ya see Jack and Sara bonded long before it got ironic
and nobody thought it awkward the friendship was platonic
but one day in college Sara got a lil hammered
she was at a frat party getting drunk until she staggered
out the front yard and walked up to her 99 corolla
told her peops it was cool then she turned the engine over
couple blocks later she felt a bump in the ground
didn't think much about it til she heard the shrieking sound
of a scream in the distance that sounded like Jack
that's when she turned around and found him layin on his back
see she was supposed to pick him up from work nearby
he saw her driving up and then he raced outside
tried to wave her down and kind of ran into the street
she drove right through him and she didn't skip a beat
flat on his back jack was loopy feelin numb
couldn't feel his legs and he was losing lots of blood
ya see sara had a problem since her first year of college
got it from her dad side a long line of acoholics
got drunk a couple times after high school graduation
pretty soon every weekend she was now infactuated
Jack made an observation that she's drinking too much
she just shrugged him off, try to act like "so what?"
she's having fun getting dree
getting drunk being free
she said she had it under control don't worry bout me
so these friends started drifting while this girl kept on sipping
getting blitzed with her girls everyday she was tripping
from kids to adults funny how life catapults cuz they were both full grown
and had always remained close
but that accident left Jack paralyzed
from the waist down
and he didn't think now
he could still be down
with Sara cuz of what she done did
his whole future was a mess while she got a month bid
from a DUI case because he didn't testify
even though it came close to vehicular homicide
Every night Sara cried with remorse she was damaged
but that's what happens when you take friends for granted
He's the homie
she's the chick
always there for ya even take the hit
when the times get rough and ya feeling low
you can bet ya bottom dolla they be down fo sho
she's the homie
he's ya patna
best friends more like fam
and you know they got ya propa
in the grand scheme of things
they help you weed out the phonies
she's the homie...
he's the homie...

TO MOM
03:53
|
|||
You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself
Gave encouragement
when my life was on the shelf
Gave me nourishment
A mother to her child
Unconditional
Love
Is what I'm talking bout
Mom I love you
from the bottom of my heart
Raised me to a man
now I'm reaching for the top
There's no words really to desribe the love we got
And everybody loves you as well
Mardell!!!!!
seq 2: You are the coolest mom
so funny and energetic
get along with everyone
and you had an only son
and that's me you passed down good genetics
the ability to love and not be caught up on the pathetic
seq: 6Class act and I'll never back track
Never backed down from tough cats with they puffed chest act
Respect that
Plus she always stands her ground
understand how to forigve nowadays that's profound
I was a little dude rising and you worked hard for us
always handled business didn't make life porous
Whether the plymouth van or that one Ford Taurus
we were always rolling somewhere
with no cares
that's called eternal life because time stands still
My mom Mardell
could help me climb every hill
and hurdle over any obstacle
and of course I did
and you gave the foundation
to pass to my kids
you're my heart mom!
I'll love you always and forever true indeed
You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself
Gave encouragement
when my life was on the shelf
Gave me nourishment
A mother to her child
Unconditional
Love
Is what I'm talking bout
Mom I love you
from the bottom of my heart
Raised me to a man
now I'm reaching for the top
There's no words really to desribe the love we got
And everybody loves you as well
Mardell!!!!!
I gotta say sorry for the times I got a smart mouth
thought I knew it all but didn't know what I was talking bout
You sacrificed a heap for me
Lost a lot of sleep for me
kept us off the streets surely you knew I wasn't walking out
Great early childhood
sports and going to work with ya
if I could think of a perfect mom
you'd be the perfect picture
had so much patience once i grew to a teenager
caught up in the social scene
act now and think later
probably caused some hurt hanging out too late at night
didn't emphathize your worry
but you'd still say goodnight
I love you
see ya in the morning
emotional rollercoast teenager with no warning
you're so patient and always kept it honest
opened our home to my best friends in the process
more than a few called our home home once or twice
and everyone should aspire to be like you in life
You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself
Gave encouragement
when my life was on the shelf
Gave me nourishment
A mother to her child
Unconditional
Love
Is what I'm talking bout
Mom I love you
from the bottom of my heart
Raised me to a man
now I'm reaching for the top
There's no words really to desribe the love we got
And everybody loves you as well
Mardell!!!!!
This isn't even a song it's more of a confession
You've been my best friend since the day of my conception
9 months in the womb established the connection
and we're here for eternity
this love equals purity
down to scratch my savings if we need a new roof
Laid the torch down and melted soles on my boots
Let me make a booth in the garage
plus put up a wall
a full studio
wouldn't happen without Moms
put up with our racket even rapping on a work night
always come and swoop if I was stranded at a work site
always have my back and I always got your back too
Anytime I had a problem all I had to do was ask you
we talk about anything, the vibe flowed flawless
that's why it tore me up
moving out that one August
finally left the nest now I'm 50 miles away
we don't spend the time we used to
I yearn for those days
But now I'm grown on my own two kids and a wife
Gotta handle biz like you did once upon a time
hard work and sacrifice you taught me so calm
no matter how far I live
I got your back mom!!!!
You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself
Gave encouragement
when my life was on the shelf
Gave me nourishment
A mother to her child
Unconditional
Love
Is what I'm talking bout
Mom I love you
from the bottom of my heart
Raised me to a man
now I'm reaching for the top
There's no words really to desribe the love we got
And everybody loves you as well
Mardell!!!!!

I tried to write a love song
I tried to write a poem
I tried to talk about love
I had it all wrong
I wish I had the good life
cut without mistakes
Somehow I always foul everything
all up
okay?
These ladies don't chase me
They look then look away
But once I start talking
they breath I took away
See I'm no eye candy
the cover of my book
is old and kind of raggedy
kind of that's my look
Because I tried to fall in love once
I tried to drop my guard
put my heart down on the door stop
and listened to my heart
But my innocence was taken for a roller coaster ride
everytime my heart was broken
I died deep inside
You see I tried to keep composure
act Like I'm a rock
nothing gets me down
I never go in shock
I couldn't write a love song
I couldn't write a Limerick
I couldn't read the vibes
they were giving me to hit it
Body language Mute
Blind dumb and deaf
I would talk a lot of game
girls would put me to the test
I was just a teenager
young without a care
wanted a girlfriend
was beyond unprepared
Chorus:
I tried to make a love song
but I couldn't find the groove
I tried to keep my head up
cuz I knew what I had to do.
Ya see, love is a trip
sometimes a trap
some people disappear and they never come back
So I couldn't write a love song
Nah, I just can't do that.
Every time My eyes open
a fog seems to set in
I thought that she liked me
we had no connection
I swear she gave the eyes
I know how to read the hints
she's one of a kind
just like your fingerprints
I asked if she'd like to go out
get a bite or get a drink
I asked her for her number
she didn't even blink
When you get a blank stare
she don't care I get it now
girl don't sugar coat
you don't have to let me down
I'm cool with straight and dry
keep it simple say the facts
rejection is the motto
always happens it's the past
I tried to write a love song
I tried to get a grasp
stuck my hands in the hornets nest
while dealing with some wasps
I tried to switch my game up
start again from scratch
stop being caught up
and learn to be a catch
gotta a little better at
sticking to my ways,
learned to love myself and not give in to these dames
took all the pictures I collected burn em up
still a soul lost looking for eternal love
Chorus:
I tried to make a love song
but I couldn't find the groove
I tried to keep my head up
cuz I knew what I had to do.
Ya see, love is a trip
sometimes a trap
some people disappear and they never come back
So I couldn't write a love song
Nah, I just can't do that.
just a stupid dude
try to have my cake and eat it
inconsiderate of they feelings
so they never let me beat it
had a lot of sleepless nights
second guessing all my moves
thinkin bout how much I lost
when I had nothing to lose
I tried to write a love song
I tried to pen a phrase
Thought I'd been in love
when it was more like a daze
kinda heart broken
lost within the maze
walked around aimless
trying to ease the pain
I tried to write a love song
I tried to write a poem
I tried to talk about love
I had it all wrong
feel it in your chest until you
hear what can be heard
got it to a crisp
because the truth is love burns
