Love Life Loyalty Wisdom Knowledge and Understanding

i loved her in ways i cant explain 
it still was,nt enough to heel this pain
i gave her my life over and over again 
but she still left me for my best friend
loyal is what she supposed to be 
but i guess that did,nt apply to me
wisdom to it all because i been around
i made myself the fool of this town
knowledge to it all i stayed and learned
still cant understand how i got burned
i love her still
and always will
she dont no how i feel
i,ll leave her alone until my heart heal
forgive her and never forget 
and remind myself that this is it.

I Could

I COULD OF DONE THE RIGHT THING 
I COULD OF TOLD HER WHAT I MEAN 
I COULD OF SHOWED HER OTHER THINGS
SOME OF WHAT SHE HAD NEVER SEEN
I SHOULD OF HONORED OR VOWS 
BUT I HURT YOU BAD I SEE IT NOW
I REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I DO
I PROMISED TO HONOR YOU
IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH 
POORNESS AND WEALTH 
TILL DEATH DO US PART 
BUT I GAVE ANOTHER MY HEART

Child Support

YOU BIRTH HER 
I RAISED HER
YOU PUT HER DOWN 
I PRAISED HER
YOU PUT HER OUT 
I TOOK HER IN
YOU MADE HER YOUR ENEMY 
I MADE HER MY FRIEND
YOUR HER MOM 
I AM HER DADDY
WHEN IT COME TO THIS CHILD 
YOU WAS,NT READY 
YOU GO OUT AND PARTY
I STAY HOME AND COOK
I HELP HER WITH HOMEWORK
YOU CANT FIND THE BOOK
I TAKE CARE OF HER WHEN SHE SICK
YOU LEAVE HER TO DIE 
I WIPE HER TEARS 
YOU MAKE HER CRY
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS THE TYPE
OF MOTHER YOU WOULD BE
BUT IT IS MY JOB 
SHE LIVE WITH ME
I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND 
WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT
WHY SHOULD I PAY YOU
CHILD SUPPORT

Belly of the Beast

HOW DID I LOSE CONTROL 
I NO THE DEVIL WONT MY SOUL
I WAS THINKING OF GOING BACK TO CHURCH ONE DAY
BUT WHY DID,NT I GO THIS PAST SUNDAY


I RELEASE MY ANGER IN THE WRONG WAY 
HURTING MYSELF DAY BY DAY
CONFUSED IN MY THOUGHTS SO TO GOD I PRAY


HELP ME LORD DELIVER ME FROM THIS BEAST 
FROM THE DEPT OF MY SOUL HE,S HAVING A FEAST
HE PRAY ON ME CAUSE RIGHT NOW I,M WEAK 
HE TORE ME DOWN AS I WAS REACHING MY PEAK
HE HUNT ME IN MY SLEEP
HE HOLD MY TONG I CAN NOT SPEAK
HE CONTROL MY MIND I CAN NOT THINK 


THE BELLY OF THIS BEAST IS OH SO DEEP

Love

LIFE    without life there would be no love
            love is the breath we take 
            the steps we make 
            the understanding in all mistakes
            that heart break that heal
            that cool feeling that chill
            that sweat that tear  
            that pain that fear
            that wonderful feeling when you are near


0PINIONATED  as love could be 
                        a perfect example of you and me 
                        through out all the pain you still love me 
                        strong as the roots on a tree


A VISION          even a blind man can see
                        a lost of breath everytime your heart beat
                         the numbness in your body
                        the tingle in your feet a

everlasting      feeling a wonderful treat

Move On

YOUR TEARS GIVE ME POWER JUST AS WELL IS YOUR VOICE WHEN YOU SPEAK 
LET,S ME NO YOU ARE VERY WEAK
CRY THAT,S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO 
I DONT CARE I DONT LOVE YOU



YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THIS PLACE 
SO TAKE THAT FROWN OFF YOUR FACE
I REALLY DONT CARE I DID,NT DO IT
I HAVE A WIFE AND YOU NEW IT


HOW COULD YOU LOVE ME I WILL NEVER BE WITH YOU 
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE LIKE I ASKED YOU TO
I,M SORRY IF YOU THINK I,M WRONG
PLEASE FIND SOMEONE ELSE AND MOVE ON
