I Hate Being Sober

I hate being sober 
I can’t wait for this day to be over

So I can be high
So my body will feel like I can fly
So I can be with my friends
And enjoy this life that to us will never end

I hate being sober 
I can’t wait for this day to be over

So my body can feel numb
So I wont be under the gun
And all I will be able to think about is having fun

I hate being sober 
I can’t wait for this day to be over

So I can go to tons of parties with my friends
And drink gallons of Bacardi until the night finally comes to an end
And It’s morning again

 I hate being sober 
I can’t wait for this day to be over

Some Nights

Some nights you talk to me
And some nights you don’t

Some nights you call me
And some nights you wont

Some nights your a friend 
And some nights your a lover

Some nights your lame 
And some nights you try and spit your game

Some nights you want me
Some nights you hate me

Some nights we talk for hours about nothing
And some nights we talk for minutes about something

Some nights think of you makes me want to cry
And some nights you save me because I think I want to die

Some nights I wonder if we will ever be
But then I wonder what night will you set me free?

I Hate

I hate that when I think of you
I can feel your body pressed against mine
Like we are one with our souls intertwined

I hate that when I talk to you
I can taste your kiss
And my body fills with a total bliss

I hate that when i see you
You put a smile on my face
And make me feel like Im in a totally different place

I hate that your to stubborn
To tell me how you really feel

I hate that you know
What’s going on inside of me 
Without me saying a word

I hate that every night 
I fall more in love with you
And that I may not ever know how much I mean to you

I hate that I long for your touch
And your kisses so much

But most of all I hate
That one day we will be together
That is our fate
But right now I have to wait

Just Live

Some days I feel like Im not all there
And like no one cares

The pain I feel is getting harder to bare
and no one is there

I wonder if anyone would notice
if I was gone 
or would it just be one less head on the Bong?

Some days I wonder if the people I love
Love me too

Some days I wonder will I ever stop thinking of you
And will you ever really love me too

But then some days I don’t let myself think
I just live

I live for the moment and do things 
most people would never do

I laugh till it hurts 
for no reason at all 

Im up for doin any 8ball
Just give me some jack and some crack 
and Ill never look back

Me

To some my lifestyles alarming
To me its charming

I don’t know what’s going to happen next 
And I like that part the best

I never kiss and tell
Only because the stories are to long to tell

I love all the dangers that I seek
And the new people that I meet

My life's not hard
But its not easy 

You couldn’t do it if you tried
So don’t sigh when you walk by

Yes I hear you when you talk
You think your better than me but your not

You should be envying me 
Because my life’s everything you want yours to be!

Lauren

She’s the life of the party
And her favorite drinks Bacardi

You cant go anywhere with her and not have fun
There are only a few things she's never done

She’ll steal your hat with a smile and a wink
Then she’ll say something that will make everyone stop and think

Her blonde hair and blue eyes 
Has every guy mesmerized

We talk for hours on end
About this crazy life
That we pray never ends

If you see her up in town 
She’ll take away your frown
And give you a night that you’ll never forget

She lives to be dared 
And dares to live
This crazy lifestyle that she knows 
God may not forgive

We’ve done to many things to count
And don’t think were about to run out!

Destiny

When I close my eyes your all I see
I wonder if we will ever be
I need to break free 
And be who I need to be

Your like a drug clouding my mind
when I talk to you I lose track of all time
I need to rewind

My feelings for you can’t be described
I need to stop trying to hide
And just show you what’s really inside

Your the one I need
Your better than any drug could ever be
even ecstasy

Now I know how you really feel
Its unreal
This feeling that you make me feel

I don’t know what to do 
when all I can think  about is you
I wonder if you will call 
or be there to catch me if I fall

So I wait and I wish 
Thinking of the next time we will kiss
And you will put me in to a total bliss
Now all that I can see is that you and me we’re Destiny

Confused

I gave you more than I ever thought I would
Iv told you everything 
but I guess you never understood

You know me better than anyone I know
And still your feelings you just wont show

Why do you make me happy and sad
at the same time
And why are you always on my mind

Some nights I wonder if you ever think of me 
If you ever think that we will ever be

I need to stop thinking of you 
Cuz Im starting to freak out 
I need to find a way to let 
all this pain and anger out

Im so confused I dont know what to do
I need to find a way to stop thinking of you

Fake

I know all about you
And I know all about me 
And I know my life's not how its suppose to be

The Cash 
The Clothes 
The Money 
The Hoes

I know all about 
what Im not suppose to know

I know your fake 
There’s no way you could be real
Your so unreal I bet you can’t even feel

The pain this world causes
I bet you can’t even see
Because you spend all your time lying to me

I don’t know why you do it 
And Im starting to not care
The pain you cause Im beginning  to bare 

I can’t wait for the day you wake up and see
You really do need me
And Im not going to be there
And the pain will be to hard for even you to bare
And I wont even care

Racists

Why do people hate 
And discriminate 
Because of the color of someone else's skin?

Why do people think 
That the color you are on the outside 
Defines who you are on the inside?

Why are some people so close minded
That they can’t look past color and race

You look into my face 
And tell me you don’t like another race

Just because they don’t look like you
You must really not have a clue
I feel sorry for you

You only get one life to live
So why waste it 
On this petty bull shyt
