Lost 2 the Game

Now since a youngin my people always pushed me to the side.
Never gave me anything but i never ever cried.
There was only one person who was right there by my side.
Know i'd never love another at that moment that she died.
But i kept going, got out on the streets and i kept grown.
Kept planting my feet like some seeds, you could say i kept sowing.
That was my grandmother, the only one who kept me strong.
The only one who kept me out the street from doing wrong.
I couldn't let it get me down, it had to make me stronger.
That just meant i had to struggle for a little longer.
Now i'm out here in these streets learning types of agriculture.
while i'm bagging up some dimes of this marijuana.
Plus i was doing chemistry and i was also learning math
because in the streets is where i learned two quarters make a half.
It's where i learned that grimy people try to take your stash.
That's why i couldn't play around i had to save some cash.....

Samantha Thornton

I really never could have dreamed or even pictured the day
That the lord would take you from me but he toke you away 
I deeply wish he would have toke me but instead he choose you
And now i'm lost out in this world not know what i should do
I lost a special part of me you are my heart and my soul
I seem to feel so incomplete because you made me feel whole
I never thought that at this moment i'd be having to cry
While thinking of you for a minute as i'm watching the sky
I see your face out in the darkness as i'm closing my eye's
And Sam it's hurting at this moment as i'm saying good bye
I hope you're listening to this words because they're not filled with lies
Yea you can see my deep emotion for the tears in my eye's
I never had a broken heart until that day i lost you
And on that very same day i lost a part of me to
Now while i'm still down on this earth i'm still going to do what i do
But keep a seat right beside you because i'm going to meet you there boo...........................

Where Do I Go From Here

I've always dreamed of getting away from the block.
With the wise words that I've spoken
I've always hoped that i could make it like Pac.
Because through my eye's I've seen much death in the streets
I've seen the theft and the murder
some of the things that people do just to eat.
I've seen confusion in the eye's of the youth
Back when i was a child i was confused
now i'm only speaking the  truth.
I was confused about the life i would lead
If  i would make it through school
where they would teach me how to write or to read.
Or if i'd fall to the streets and the code
Where selling drug is your job
and the rule is never snitch never fold.
Where if you told then that's the end of your life
Plus your brother, your sister,your mom and dad
you'd have no chance to think twice.
I've seen that poverty a problem we face 
When you're i a society
where almost all are of the brown skinned race.
So many struggles tell me what should i do
Because if you had all these problems
leaving the block would be a dream for you to...

One Wish

If i were blessed
with just one wish
Then my one wish
would just be this

To show you that
i love you so 
To hold you and
to not let go

To be there and
to dry your eye
When things go wrong 
and make you cry

To put a ring 
upon your hand 
To just lay back
and be your man

With just one wish
that would come true
My only wish
would be for YOU

My Silent Prayer

Dear glorious and gentle lord, only to you I pray
I come to you for many reasons, on this beautiful day
I pray that the war in Iraq ends
and brings my sister back to family and friends
Not just my sister but plenty of others
cause there are many people losing sisters and brothers
I pray that the homeless will find shelter and food
and that the people that see them would stop acting so rude
For people to give a little is all that they ask
Yet people act like that's a really hard task
I pray that woman will stop getting abortions
or at least that the amount will reduce in large portions
If they don't want the babes than they should use protection
That would decrease abortions and the chance of a sexual infection
I pray you'll touch my heart lord on every layer 
and that's how I'll end my silent prayer....

It Was You

It was you that showed me the difference between love and lust.
It was you that taught me you can't love untill you learn to trust.
It was you that kept me going when times got hard.
It was you that told me to give my lif to god.
It was you that kept my head up when my girl left me.
It was you that kept me whole when i felt so empty.
It was you that cared for me be cause no one else would.
It was you that taught me things that no one else could.
It was you that kept me strong while i was doing my time.
It was you that could calm me down at the drop of a dime.
It was you that told me i was smart enough to get my G.E.D.
It was you that let me know i could be anything i wanted to be.
It was you that made me look in a mirror to see,
that the you i keep taling about is just a refexion of me.

Happy Birthday

There is just one day
that's yours alone
When no one else 
can claim your throne.

This day you were sent
from the heavens sky
And was born with 
a sparkle in your eye.

There are no words
that come into play
That express how i feel
on this special day.

Cause with out this day
you would not be 
And with out you
there would be no me.

You've made me the man
I am this day
So with love I wish you 
a Happy Birthday.

His Eyes

See what resides in the eyes and the tears of a struggling man
devastation and confusion from a man who don't think he can
do anything in life because he tries but he always fails
so he spends up most his life in the prisons or in the jails
with a disconnected feeling from people and from himself
paranoia and suspicions so gracefully he move with stealth
portraying love and joy but he dreads to have his dreams 
because it feels like he is drowning in life like it's a stream
excruciating pains cause this man to have much stress
trying desperately to function and keep it up off his chest
maintaining for a moment and keeping up his composure
mood unstable deep inside and much deadlier than a soldier
always ready for whatever because his world is problematic
no apologies are excepted from the people who cause this static
contemplating for a second on bringing them their demise
but persistently he's stopped by the people who read his eyes

Thinking of You

If thinking of you was some kind of race
I would break the old record and come in first place
I think of you daily, every minute in time
With each passing second you stay on my mind
I miss just the simplest things you would do
Just want you to know I'm thinking of you...........

Another Day

Another day with out a word - wishing i could fly to you like a bird.

Another day that i can't call - constantly thinking of you while tears constantly fall.

Another day that I,m alone - with me wishing that i could be at home.

Another day with out your touch - knowing i lost someone i love so much.

Another day for me to cry - wondering should i live or should i die.

Another day that i can't take -  not knowing when i will finally break.

Another day i don't have you - i want you back but don't know what to do.

Another day i have to wait - hoping you'll write and say you love me like it's fate.

Another day to clear my mind - while i pray to god my love you'll find.

Another day, no another year - that I'll love you but I'll still be here.....
