Harapan tinggi, tak pernah ternilai
Kata kata murahan, menjadi gedung gedung tinggi
Wadah wadah kosong, masih dapat di isi
Wadah wadah penuh, tak akan ada yang isi
Tidak pernah ada sekalipun yang melirik
Petinggi, kata sepele mu bisa membuat orang terkerik
Bagiku benda yang baru pasti di terima
Tapi kenyataan, diriku ini tak pernah di terima
Bagai 1 rintik hujan, tak di anggap hujan oleh nya
Aku ini hanya bertanya
Kau jawab dengan tawa
Kau bertanya, semua orang bahkan semut menganga.
English translation :
High hopes, never priceless
Cheap words, become tall buildings
Empty containers, can still be filled
Full containers, no one will fill them
No one ever even glanced at me.
Higher-ranking officials, your trivial words can make people shiver
For me, anything new is always accepted.
But in reality, I'm never accepted.
Like a single raindrop, it doesn't even count as rain
I'm just asking.
You answer with laughter.
You ask, everyone, even the ants gape.
It’s busy at tha deli,
So get ya-self in line an take a numba.
Got a special on baloney.
We’re gonna dance tha reputation rumba.
No matta its location,
A house is only ca-pentry and lumba.
You can neva be a homey
Unless ya do tha reputation rumba.
Tha butta betta be thea,
Rega-dless o tha pressa ya been unda.
Once tha lobsta’s on tha boila,
It’s time to do tha reputation rumba.
Tha masta’s on a benda;
That menace in his pocket’s no cucumba.
Betta shake ya salt and peppa,
He means to dance tha reputation rumba.
Miss Scarlett come a callin’
With demons gonna haunt you while you slumba.
Left a baby on ya da-step.
That’s how ya do tha reputation rumba.
And since ya daddy took a powda,
Ya can hea the sound o’ gossip loud as thunda.
It’s as clea as oysta chowda,
That dance step’s called tha reputation rumba.
There once was a young girl named Brenda
Whose brand-new car was in a rear-enda---
She took to the cup
Her insurance went up---
And now it's her mind's round-the-benda.
ANSWER OUR PRAYERS
Please dear Lord hear our prayer.
Heal Benny so he'll know we care.
Ashley,Morgan,Daniel are in need.
Lay healing hands with Gods speed.
We ask you heavenly father don't take him home.
His sweet mother Benda is not ready to be alone.
Our hearts are filled with love for him.
So on his tree of life add another limb.
Teresa Skyles
WE LUV YOU BENNY!!!!!!!!!!
