Loss of Innocence

So many years ago
My innocent eyes saw too much
Loss of innocence
With just one touch
Fleeing to shelters
Watching as my mom get's choked
Got older
Tired of being broke
No more straight A's
All I could see was money
Because I thought things would get better at home
Willing to do anything
Even bust on people unknown
Lies, deception, and manipulation was apart of me
No more going to church
Seems like everything around me
Is filled with pain and hurt
It hurts 
When your homeboy get's gun down
Seems like you get used to it
When there's nothing but death around
Not trying to end up like them
But wouldn't hurt to leave
Praying for my soul
As I look up and on my knees.

The Longest Yard (Life)

At the one yard line
and one second is on the clock
Everyone depending on me
and it seems as if the whole world has stopped

To feel the weight of the world
on these very shoulders
To not make this one yard
could mean everything might be over

The crowd is on their feet
waiting for the snap
Down... set... hut
and I take a few steps back

Defenders are coming from all around
and no one is open
I shake one, I shake two
No one is still open

Two hands on the ball
It's time for me to run it in
Hit once, hit twice, keep moving, stretch out
Now everyone waits to see if I made it in.

The Murder

One jumping Saturday night
Murder was committed
I couldn't say bye to my loved ones
And no time for repentance

I was talking, then it got darker
And my thoughts were blurry
I felt like I couldn't move
But needed to get out in a hurry

I felt so faint
And something inside me burned
The past caught up with me again
Guess it's what I deserved

I was in this situation once before
But so much trauma I couldn't recover
Now it's lights out, always dark
My casket is getting covered

Goodbye ladies and gentlemen
For so long I stayed on the run 
Loving and Caring shot me
Now my heart is done.

The Kiss

I look up at your face,
as you embrace me in your arms
I guess to tell me my pain is gone
Because I am hypnotized under your charm

No words are spoken
No words are needed
At first I was scared
But I decided against pleading

As you kiss me
I feel a cold chill down my spine
Then I hear you say,
"Your soul is mine."

Remember

Remember when we said I love you
It was supposed to mean no worries
If you remember the good and forgive me
There might be a good ending to this story

Trying to get you to eat dog biscuits
Kissing and holding you at night
I cooked for you one time
But you said the food didn't taste right

From the clubs to extra duty
We were always together
Traveling and playing in the snow 
I'll cherish those days forever

I was there your first time rolling
I was the first to put it in that hole
No matter what anyone said
We were together, forget what I was told

Your name is branded on me 
My name is tattooed on you
The question of a lifetime is
Now want are we going to do?

Hide-Go-Seek

Everytime we play
You're too hard to find
Why do I have to look for you first?
I get tired of counting to a hundred everytime

Ninety-nine, one hundred
I turn around and you're gone
You have good hiding spots
One time I even tried to call your cell phone

I get frustrated sometimes
But I know I can't quit
I look for you so long
Sometimes I have to sit

I looked behind those bushes
I even peeked around that building
Let's see if you're in that tree
Nope, there's some place I am missing

I think I got it
Let me look in that manhole
No, you can't be in there
You don't like places that are dark and cold

Where could you be hiding?
I've been looking for you for so long
Love, I quit, I'm tired
If you want me I'll be at home

I Believe

I'm trying to make it to heaven
But the man downstairs is trying to pull me to his side
He shows me visions of money and women
I'm trying to be with GOD when it's time to ride
Being with the Lord, I'll get whatever he thinks I need
And be happy forever
Messing around with the Devil
I'll be locked away sweating in that hot weather
I get on my knees and pray
Lord, in you I believe
Can't wait too late
Cause when I get to the gates
I don't want to have to 
Turn around and leave.

This Asset

Our society longs for this
It puts you on top of the world
You get it at least once, no matter race
Even if you are a boy or girl
You have to watch out, because it can come slow
Or fast and furious
You never know the outcome
It's our nature to investigate and be curious
It can have have you so high
You're floating in the clouds
But when it's all over
Everything around you comes tumbling down
Once it's gone 
Seems like you're alone, deserted
Never knew so much pain
Because with this asset you flirted
Everyone has been through this situation at least once
No matter if you're a doctor or a common street thug
This precious asset that I refer to
Is the one and only......Love.

No More

There's no more suffering,
No more tears, but there's pain
Trying to stay on the good track
But keep switching to the other lane
It's dark, there's no light
At the end this tunnel
I hear people in the shadows,
Can't understand them,
Their voices are muffled
They're plotting against me
Trying to knock me down to my knees
Keeping me to this side
Gotta shake them off, so I can succeed
No more suffering, no more tears
But there's pain
I see clouds overhead
Hopefully it won't rain.

I'Ll Be Waiting

All you think about is the bad
Because it overcomes the good
Take back all the pain
I wish that I could

To die for each tear that was dropped
And for every lie that was told
I'm missing you so much
At night, you, I wish I could hold

Look, you was lying too
I know not as much as me
All I need is one last chance
And guaranteed, forever we'll be

Now you've replaced me
Because this man is getting a home
Yeah you got security for now
But ya'll love won't be as strong

Whoever I'm with, they're temporary
I'll be waiting for you to make up your mind
Hopefully not waiting too long
My love for you will never come to a demise.
