Family
We get together a few time out the year
Christmas, Thanksgiving, and sometimes even new years the rest of the year
I'm  are happy that they are not so near
We fight and make up you see there is no breaking up Not when we share a
tie that binds
Family they are given to u
U have no choice to choose
And ur stuck with them for ur lifetime
Win or loose
Sometimes they can be loving
Sometimes they can be caring
Sometimes they can just have u staring
They make u wonder why, how could the same
Blood run through our veins
How are we related when we didn't struggle the same
But family always has your back no matter what and they always lift a
finger when u find ur self stuck
That's how I feel about my mecca family
We may not be bounded by blood
but we all share a connection that runs deep
We share the struggle of our environment
And the artistic flare that burns inside us all
That's why we are a family
The perfect fit
I come to you when I need someone to talk to
U are the someone that understands all that I've been through
Because u have been there too
Sometime life spins u down a road
Where u look up and wonder how u got here
That's just one connection that we share
Because I've cried all the tears
My eyes would let me cry
It was my pride that would let me lay down and die
Because living with out you
Is like living in hell on earth
I sometimes wonder why u were my first
Lover , love , and my best friend
No matter what we were supposed to be down until the end
Me ur ride or die chick
And u my thug life
My timberland waring baggie jeans, Yankee fitted on top of ur do-rag
and braids
Just your description drives me insane
So u ask me to walk away
I'm sorry but this will not happen
Today or any other day
My loyalty makes me royalty
U even said that I would ur queen
For forever and a day
Am I really?
Never Meant To Be
Have you ever been so happy
That you couldn't see
Have you ever been so happy
That your smile wouldn't leave
Have you ever been so happy
Where you didn't know where
The fairy tale ended and where real
Life began?
I felt that way once before
But like Edgar Allen Poe's
The "Raven" it was just nevermore
Than just a dream you see
My hearts happiness was never meant to be
One day the sun was out shinning
Brightly over head
With a sudden blink of the eye
The sun fell into the sea
And all life was dead
It was dark and cold, and hollow
At the time all of this was way to much to sallow
Because my hearts happiness was never meant to be
Even in the depths of the darkness
It could be seen

Have you ever cried to your eyes
Were swollen shut?
Have you ever wanted so badly to feel someones touch?
Have you ever wondered why me?
Why does it have to be my eyes that cry
Tears of pain?
Why is it only my soul that dwells in this lonely place?
Why is that?
The answer I found was that
My hearts happiness
Was never meant to be!
Though You're Out Of Arms Reach You Are Not Out Of My Heart
Even though you are far away
I think about you everyday
I remember things about you that I miss
The thought of being with you leaves me
In sheer bliss
Just to touch you with my hands
I'll travel across many lands
I'll walk over a thousand sands
To see that smile on your face
To feel your love and warm embrace
My love for you can never be erased
And no one could ever take your place
You are number one in my life
For you I'll make any sacrifice
It doesn't matter the price
Because you are the joy and happiness of
My life.
History
Old wise tales of what men once did
Recorded on paper to be taught to our kids
Stories of how our great country was made
Ironically it doesn't say that this country
Was made on the backs of slaves
But it does say: on the 4th of July
That historic day
We learn of inventors,explorer's,
Kings and queens of what they did,
How they lived; some was bad some was good
Other were just misunderstood
You have to know where you've
Been to know where you're
Going
So walk into the future with your
Head held high
Because you've learned all the lessons left behind.
My Mistake
I'm sorry that you had to find out this way
And I'm sorry that it had to be on this special day
This reminds me of the song: "As we lay"
I took something that wasn't mine
She and I shared one special moment in  between space and time
We knew that forever was to long
Because something this good had to be wrong
But I couldn't let this day happen
Before you knew that just once, only once
I cheated on you
It was a moment that I wish I could take back
please it was a mistake don't look at me like that!
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It was never my intent
I hope in your heart I didn't make a dent
Then he took the deepest breath
And then he looked me right in the eyes
His face sadden as he watched the tears
Fall from my eyes
At first I stood there shocked
My whole body was numb
From what my ears had just heard

How dare you do this to me on this special day
Why couldn't you do this yesterday
That's bull shit you did me to hurt me
You meant to break my heart in a very cold
And nasty way
How can you say you love me
If you went outside on me
I'm sorry but this was over
When the two of us became three
My consolation prize is this 3kt
Ring.
Panic
Let me give you my all
I'll cherish your love
I won't let it fall
Whenever you need me
Don't be afraid to call
I know it may at times seem that
I may compare you to others
But to me its because
We've grown to be so much more then
Just lovers
You're in a league of your own
When it come to you being with me
So let me love you
Let me be me
Calm down and don't panic
Cause I'm not going anywhere
My love keeps me grounded right here.
The Boy VS. The Man
I once loved the boy, now a man
Can I love him too ?
Or have I grown up to leave the man behind
So I can remember the boy he once was
Did we separate so we could go down the paths needed to become the
people we are today or was it just the means to the end
Of something sweet
That's never meant to be forgotten
The boy vs. The man
Could he be one and the same
Is it possible that nothing in him has changed
The man vs. The boy
Could he prove to be what I want to see
The type of man I want for me
The boy vs. The man
Which one should I ask to help me understand
That the man is a man
And no longer a boy
Playing with his toys
No G.I joe action figures
And no hotwheels tracks
Now he likes to play the kinda games
The leave scratches on his back
The boy vs. The man
Can this man no longer a boy
Can he stimulate my mind
Will this man make me want
To rewind time
When this man was a boy
So I can relive the youth of
Something so bittersweet
And innocent
Who will be the victorious one
Who will win
The boy vs. The man
I Hate You
I hate you
And there's nothing you can do
You make me sick
I hate the sound of your voice
And I hate the look of your face
I wish your memories I could erase
And the images I would replace
I hate you
I want nothing more to spit in your face
Or should I blind you with mace
Are you shocked ?
Are you wondering where all this hate came from
It can from me letting you do want you want
To do
Its not you its my fault why I hate you
You hurt me time and time again
Then you left me with that famous
Line can we at least be friends
Hell no I don't want to chill and kick back
With you
You made me cry one time to many
So you played me when I didn't want to give you any
Uck I hate you so much
I hate even the thought that we used to touch
You make me so sick I want to toss my lunch
I hope you go through a lot of pain and heartache in your life
If I saw you hungry and cold on the street
All you would see is the back of my feet
I hate you so much
So much that I can find the words to say
How you disgust me in every way
The bottom line is I hate you and I have nothing else to say
