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

Politics

why is yesterday politics destroying todays man
is this his will was it just or can it be a part of his plan
us as people should put voting on a strike
because neither you or me can with stand another tax hike
america focus lyes in the wrong place
rebuilding other countries why ours go to waste
and lets not make this black or white
lets not lay blame to who is wrong or right
for this time we must unite 
and look at the big picture its both of our fight
look at the little man and the kids born to poverty 
america is in trouble and she need the help of both you and me
focus on what is broken and think of a quick fix
or fall to the man with the bag of tricks
or unite and write our own politics.

Blood Test

OH MAN WHY YOU LYING
YOU NO THEM KIDS AINT MINE
THE GIRL IS WHITE AS SNOW 
WHERE IS HER DADDY DO YOU NO 
I THINK YOU DONT I AM BLACK AS TAR
YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THAT BAR
OR THINK OF WHO THAT MAN WAS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THAT CAR
OH DONT GET ME STARTED ON YOUR SON 
GAY THAN ALL OUTDOORS IM NOT THE ONE
YOU NO HE AINT MINE 
MAN GIRL YOU THINK IM BLIND
STEVIE WONDER CAN SEE THIS 
ALL THESE LIES GOT ME PISSED
LETS GET A BLOOD TEST I INSIST

Who Am I

AM I THE MAN MY PARENTS WANTED ME TO BE OR AM I THE MAN THE STREETS MADE OF ME AM 
I THE FATHER I NO I CAN BE OR AM I THE FATHER MY KIDS NEVER SEE AM I THE HUSBAND

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
