What More Can We Do

What more can we do
We’ve done all we can except shoot back at you
What more can you say
Nothing you can say will take this pain away
You say freeze, we put our hands up
Ask for ID and then we get shot up
We’ve been protesting, told things will change
Another black man dead and things are the same
Some people couldn’t believe what we see
So we started recording and they still let the killers free
So what more can we do
What more can we say
When we ask for help 
And get killed anyway
Pulled over and I don’t know why
They see I’m black so they make up lies
Search my car for drugs, cuz “that all we do”
But I am clean and they can’t except the truth
Put me in cuffs, throw me to the ground
I’m complying but asking questions too loud
So the cop puts his knee on my back
I tell him I can’t breathe but he doesn’t react
9 mins I’m struggling for my life
4 cops against 1, that ain’t right
Who would’ve known it would be like that
They took my life because I’m black
What more can we do
We’ve done all we can except shoot back at you
What more can you say
When more of us gettin killed every day 
What can we do
When justice for us ain’t coming through
What more can you say
Actions speak louder than words any day

Bipolar Disorder

I hate sounding like a recorder
Knowing I am at the edge of my border
Always being served by a court order
Yeah, I have a mental disorder
Heck yeah, I suffer, I am bipolar

I stay up every night full of energy
Suffering from short term memory
My moods can last for days or weeks
I get so mad sometimes I can't speak
I don't even know what's "normal" anymore
Unexplained pain and my muscles are sore
I don't have the ability to concentrate
So I always yell when I communicate
I have unexplained sadness and crying spells
Feeling sick all the time and can't get well
Having a lot of guilt and feeling worthless
Everything around me makes me stress
Wanting to give up on my hopes and dreams
Just for the thrill, I go to the extreme

I hate sounding like a recorder
Knowing I am at the edge of my border
Always being served by a court order
Yeah, I have a mental disorder
Heck yeah, I suffer, I am bipolar...

What Happened

What happened to the girl i knew
All the things we used to do
All the late night fun
Now I feel our time is done
Most of the time I was on the road
I never thought we'd get old
What happed to the kisses and the hugs
Being addicted to me like a drug
Every weekend you holding me close
That is what I miss the most
Long phone calls, up all night
But all we do is fight, fight, fight
What happened to the long talks
Candle light dinner and long walks
You use to be all about me
Now all we do is disagree
I used to want to come home
But there's no point if I feel all alone.

Talk To Me

A lot of questions pop in my head about us
Is this meant to be or are you just a crush
You have a hard time telling me how you feel
You leave me in the dark and I'm the one keeping it real
Your always quick to run and tell your friends
They are also haters, they want us to end
I even try to have at least one talk per day
I always give you my attention cause I want to hear what you have to say
I can tell by your body language your not happy with me
If you can't communicate how do I know if this is where you want to be
My main purpose is to please you and support you too
But how can I do that when I don't know what you're going through
You think I can read minds and see what's wrong
Like you and I have been together oh so long
I am only human, so yes I make mistakes
But I will make it better whatever it takes
If you don't open your eyes, you can't see
So please for us both, open up and talk to me

Me and You

My sleepless nights still continue
I can't sleep without being next to you
All my fears still scare me at night
I need you here to hold me tight
I am sorry I pushed you away
When all I wanted was for you to stay
All the arguing and fighting
Letting people destroy out dreams
Us playing like it doesn't bother us
Knowing all we do is fuss
You feeling like you don't make me happy
'Cuz I have a lot on my plate so I get snappy
All the cool times we hung around
Now your not here, my head hangs down
My mind can't seem to focus and my thoughts are a blur
I can't believe you don't think your better than her
Waking up to your beautiful face, always makes my heart race
I wouldn't mind the chase, if we were in a different place
I think of you all the time
I still wish you were mine
Your kiss and your touch, I miss the most
Just chillin' and traveling, all we did was coast
Talking late and planning future dates
In my gut you could be my mate
But everything overnight has changed 
It seems to me like you don't know my name
Watching you with other people makes me wonder
How did things between you and I go under?

I Look In the Mirror

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is an unhappy face staring back at me
I try to smile to hide my shame
But still my unhappiness is the same
I tried talking, walking, writing how I feel
But I am still unhappy and that's real
People stare and point but I pay them no mind
When it comes to family and friends, I try to leave it behind
I cry as I wonder why I feel like this
Like there is no way out and I'm tired of fighting with my fist
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is an unhappy face staring back at me
I can smile and pretend that I am living the dream
But fake smiles and laughter aren't always what they seem
You would know how I feel when you look into my eyes
My eyes are the only thing I can't disguise
As time flies by and nights get cold
My pretend happiness gets old
My kids and their kids can see that I am done here
Even when I try to laugh through all my tears
All my life I wanted more than this
And when my time comes I won't be missed
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is exactly what I don't want my life to be....

Where Are You

Why do I miss you when your gone?
It's because I feel alone
Me without you, it's not fair
Looking around and your not there
Where are you? I miss you
Everything I see reminds me of you
Your smell, your voice, the things you say
Reminds me of you in every way
Please tell me where did you go
I miss you so much, just to let you know.

True Friend

Life has its up and downs
But there  are few people who are around
Some will come and some will go
But I'll be there, just to let you know
I can be there when your down
I can help you smile when you frown
I can lend you my ear if you need to talk
I can stay up late if you need to walk
I can be your friend and help you with your issues
And if you cry, I'd give you a tissue
I am one of those friends who won't go away
I am here for you, I am here to stay.
