I got my mind on my money and my money on my mind but no matter where
I go I see them same old hoes
BRING DA BEAT c’mon, c’mon, c’mon HERE WE GO
YEA YEA YEA
They be warin old clothes, exposin them busted ass toez in fishnet pantyhose
They be standin in rowz, striking that silly old pose, workin them same two
Joes
So the rumor grows, and everybody knows, that her name is rose, we know
rose blows
DOUBLE BUBBLE, BUBBLE TROUBLE, YEA YEA YEA
She got fired from LoweZ, ’cause she stole a garden hose, spent all the money
at Moe’Z
Yea - Moe’Z ho clothes and fishnet hose, down at 52nd and StrowZ, traffic
really slows when she bends to expose, she get dirt on them knees, when she
blows
DOUBLE BUBBLE, BUBBLE TROUBLE YEA YEA YEA

YEA YEA YEA
She putz the powder up her nose, didn’t pay the fine she owez, gives a
discount to the bros
Ever’body froze, then the streetlight glows, that’z the way it goes, for all them
bimboz
Same for the hoes, az it is for the bros, all the way from Melrose to the
chicagos
And it’s still the same for the Souix and them Navahoes, UH YEA UH YEA
SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY PEEPZ IN THE POCONOS
YEA YEA YEA I’M OUT
OUT ROLLIN ON THAT 8 MILE ROOOOAD

Positive and negative energy
Pulls you strongly either way
Which do you choose to flow with
To start you off each day
Each one has the power
To take you oh so far
Which of them do you choose
To show you who you are
You have the power in you
To stand up and be strong
You do not have to fall down
When everything goes wrong
Its just the way you think my dear
Its just the way you flow
Its oh so easy to go down
Stop now and just say no
Your thoughts are reality
Not always what you see
Good or bad, you have the choice
Which one will it be
The more you flow on upwards
The higher you will climb
Fill yourself with positive thoughts
And always you'll be fine
Such an interesting game to play
And will only take a while
And when you've mastered it well my friend
You'll have great confidence, and that is,
ATTITUDE WITH STYLE!!!!!

(Choka)
God truly loves man
He has for us a great plan
You're very special to Him
He loves us all way
Remember Lord died for us
Jesus did and that's so true
God created man
Earth and the whole universe
Our God is an awesome God
He loves you all time
With unconditional love
Saves, gives eternal life too.

~Love Faith And Hope~
(Quatrain)
Love faith n' hope, always keeps me moving and helps me along all on my go,
Love faith n' hope, are very powerful and inside of me they just make me glow,
There's nothing much that I could do if I didn't have at all my sweet God
He keeps me going, and He showers me with love n' blessings right to this sod.
Love, faith hope and peace, of each I have a big handful right here with me,
Of all these we all need at least some, to help us go thru life's journey you see,
Without love faith hope, it's really hard to live by, it would be like being already just dead,
We all need love, hope, faith and peace, to make dreams comes true in our hearts n' head.
Love, hopes and dreams start with a little bit of faith and all starts in our hearts n' brains,
Life is very hard as it is, and all do need basketfuls of love an hope, n' more so when it just rains,
Lets pray to God for more love faith and strength, and always ask Him for a tad more,
Don't get discouraged because with God, love n' hope you can always endure all the hardships n' downpours.

~South Florida~
(Free Flow )
The temperature is rising
We're in the hottest days of summer
Heat and humidity in the air are soaring
Sometimes for days the rains are just pouring
This is summer with all its days full of sun and fun
People strolls the beach, and swim far beyond the sand
Beachcombers spend there their time till the sun goes down
Surfing and sunbathing is all a big part of their fun
You see children running and playing
Some are so happy building sandcastles under the sun
There are people of all ages, sexes and shapes
Some are sitting, eating and laughing till the day is undone
These are the hottest days of summer right where I live here
Living in Florida for so many people can be a lot of fun all year.

~Beautiful Springtime~
(Trolaan)
Beautiful first spring day
Bountiful sun then may rain
Be happy spring comes after winter gray
Bright sunshine glows like golden grain
Enticing spring is here again at last
Enchanting sights of so much beauty and renewal
Every ray of sun illuminates everything so fast
Entire sky is now so blue like a precious jewel
Now new and wonderful changes after winter and snow
Nurturing beauty of spring is such a sight
Nosegays and roses buds see them all grow
Nice time to relax and enjoy the spring night
On and on my Master has created spring for us all
Orchids,roses,tulips and so many beautiful things to enjoy
Ocean and mountains during spring season stand tall
Outside there's a wonderful weather for all girls and boys.

Changes all hearts

Pray God for love, peace today

~Author's Notes:
The "Mirrored Hourglass" is a poetry style created by
George L. Ellison.
We buried our dog, Ding
With her favorite things,
Like our couch, plus our bed
And pillows for our head.
Our carpet she muddled
With dirt and pee puddles,
The window she stared through
To bark at who knows who.
The hedge she sniffed and chewed,
All of our leather shoes,
My truck’s passenger seat,
But not the children’s feet.
Two of our best chickens
She chased like the dickens,
Seven of my wife’s hats,
But not much more than that.
We paid a contractor
Who with a large tractor,
Dug a humongous hole
For our dear doggy’s soul.
And it did our heart good
Though we now sleep on wood;
Without a comforter,
Since we did comfort her.
Sing Me an Old Style Song
Sing me an old style song,
With pretty flowing phrases;
A story of love gone wrong,
In other times, in other places.
No trumpets blare, just sweet trombones,
A crooner, smooth tongued and mellow.
Hurting, aching, quiet, for me alone.
Sing me an old style song.
Let bottled tears stain my cheeks,
As your freckled nose appears before me.
For I cannot cry to beats and bangs,
Please sing me an old style melody.
That I may cry and cleanse my heart;
Empty and ready for a new filled start.

~My Dearest Love ~
( Cinquain Suite )
For you
My love grows more
With heart so full of love
While dreaming of you always 'neath
Moon stars
So soft
Your love just comes
Like a breath of fresh air
I feel your presence inside me
Day night
You are
My shining star
My only one true love
My love for you will always shine
So true
My sweet
Love I love you
So and very much more
For you my loves forever and
Ever.

Throughbred beautiful horses,too,

Folks are laughing and making bets to,
For their favorite horses everywhere, and,

Displaying proudly all their best colors and silks too.

While taking last notes here and there to make things okay today.
Well,this wonderful race is about to start any moment now.
The horses are being prepared in every way,and that's true,
As they're all looking their very best from head to hoofs,
The winner will receive a very beautiful cup and great honors,too.
So many bets that are at stake here for so many today,
People are very excited, rushing all over the place to,
As the horses and their jockeys are getting ready now,
The jockeys are looking so proud atop the horses they'll ride, too.
The horses and jockeys are now set for this much awaited race,
They're all in line and in their position to start anytime to,
But it will take a long time for sure for this race to be over,
But already it looks like "Black Beauty" is about to make history today.

~I Believe~
(Rhymed Anaphora)
I believe in God more than anything that's true
I believe in his divine love and sacrifice that too
I believe that true love can make things brand-new
I believe also that much depends on you
I believe in thousands of things that are good
I believe that many beautiful creatures dwell in the wood
I believe that love faith hope dreams n' peace are necessary to each man
I believe that God has for every man, woman and child a great plan
I believe in goodness and kindness for all
I believe we need to stand tall after we fall.

~Author's Notes:
-The Anaphora -
In writing or speech, the deliberate repetition of the first part of the sentence in order to achieve an artistic effect is known as Anaphora.
Anaphora, possibly the oldest literary device, has its roots in Biblical Psalms used to emphasize certain words or phrases. Gradually, Elizabethan and Romantic writers brought this device into practice. Examine the following psalm:
“O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?”
The repetition of the phrase “O Lord,” attempts to create a spiritual sentiment. This is anaphora.
It is common for us to use anaphora in our everyday speech to lay emphasis on the idea we want to convey or for self affirmation.
