Life Isn'T Fair

Life isn't fair when other people make it big



  But I'm happy where I am,living my life how it is.


  Life isn't fair when somebody else rides for free.

  Well,some lucky and some aint,that's the way that I see it.

  life isn't fair when your wife leaves you for your friend

 Well,that's okay,I knew that the marriage was gonna end.

  Life isn't fair when your best friend die.

  Well,he stole my wife and shot my dog with a nine.

   Life isn't fair when burglars break into your house.

   Well,that's okay I was going to throw everything out.

  Why Oh Why don't you care that the world aint fair?

  It's not the world who aint fair or the world who don't care.
  It's the people who don't care and the people who aint fair.

If I Had Another Chance

If I had another chance to change the things that I've done.I would have picked up 
a book instead of a gun.

If I had another chance to change the things that I've seen.I'll look at something 
beautiful instead of pain and agony.

If I had another chance to change the things that I've did.I would have change the 
way I acted and the way that I lived.

I say this with a sigh because now it's too late.Because now I'm in Death Row and I 
threw my life away.

So,if you ask me the question if I had another chance.Instead of acting like a boy, I 
would rather act like a man.

Ode To Her

When she comes into a room,she lights it all up.
     
     She can drive a man crazy with one single touch

     She always say maybe when I ask for her number.

     But then we fell in love in the middle of the summer.

    Ebony,chocolate,she so caramel

   The way she threw her love on me was something like a spell.

   And everytime we kiss;I only think of wedding bells

   Brown eyes,black hair,coke bottle derier

  And I just gotta say girl you making me stare.

  See,me and you girl,we're a perfect pair.

  And you can tell by the love in the air.

Wake Up

Why you woke up this morning?
              Was it because the alarm went off
              And you snooze it;half-sleepy and yawning

              Or was it cause you had to go to work
              And do that 9 to 5
              Just living check to check
              Just trying to stay alive

              But that's basic,daily,simple things
              We all do that
              Just trying to get that money
              So we could go back

              To our families and wives
              To our paradises and lifes
              To wake up in the morning,to
              see your wife with a smile
              And she say good morning baby
              I'm bout to wake up in a while
              And you go wake up your kids for school
              And they all say WHY!!!!!

              And then you get dress and drink a Five Hour Energy
              And your wife comes in and then she kiss you gently
              Saying I'll see you when you get home
              Cause she's a work-at-home mom,selling products over the phone.

              And then you kiss her back
              And then you walk out the door
              Thinking this the reason I wake up.



              NOTHING LESS AND NOTHING MORE

She's the One

She's the one who always laugh at all of my stupid jokes

           She's the one who always worry when I'm down or when I'm hurt.

           She's the one who always care when others have not.

           She's the one who always remember things that myself has forgot.

           She's the one who always smile when life is in the gutter.

           She's the one that I want to be my only true lover.

Why Did She Smiled

Lou Ann was fifty-six the day that she died and the last question I asked was why 
did she smiled.Her husband was in jail and he was sentence to life.For killing her 
two children with an axe and a knife.Her family didn't cared if she lived or died,but 
eveytime I saw her she would always smiled.I asked her the question,"Lou Ann,why 
do you smile?"With an eerie look on her face she gladly replied,"I see my children in 
the yard and I'm going to play with them in a while."I didn't knew what she saw and 
I didn't knew what she meant,but everybody told me that Lou Ann didn't had good 
sense.All I knew something was not right and I should have known that tonight 
would be the night that Lou Ann would tragically die.That night in December It was 
cold,dark,and quiet,and at twelve O'clock midnight,something loud broke the 
silence.The police went inside and found a smiling Lou Ann in her bed.With an 
empty .380 but a bullet in her head.Everybody thought that Lou Ann was a crazy old 
fool,but if you lost everything you love the what would you do?
