The Simple Life

i dont ask for alot out  of  this world
just enough to bet by
im not trying to be a multi millionaire
just looking for a small peice of the pie

not trying to buy a great big castle
a simple house will do just fine
and maybe i dont need a limo 
just a car that i can call mine

and all of that gold and jewelery
dont have to be hanging around my neck
as long as i can afford to pay my bills
 and hold my head up with respect

i've never been that picky 
i generally take what i can get 
i just hate to be stressed 
 by living from check to check

forget about the jones's 
who cares how they live 
i'm just trying to keep my head above water
and not worrie about paying my next bill

and all the fame who needs
 to be reconized everywhere they go
i just need to feel loved 
by the few people i know

as long as i can afford the things i need
and feel everythings going to be alright
that's all it really takes for me 
im ok with the simple life

Man I Just Wanna Go Back In Time

man i wanna go back in time 
when everything was so good
i know alot of you would'nt mind
and would go back youself if you could

... i'll tell you the times i really crave
before crack, irac and aids
man i think that we had it made 
laid back under the shade drinking lemon aid

sitting on the back porch playing spades 
while listening to the 33s and 45s being played
when little girls use to play hopsoctt
and the boys shot marbles or the bad ones threw rocks

back before all these ipad and cell phones 
when families enjoyed playing momoply at home
back before rap and hip hop
at least then we was'nt harrash as much by the cops

back when the world was'nt cosume by wealth 
and more concerned with good health
back before the world became filled with greed
and people only took as much as they need

back when we valued the old folks traditions
when we were allowed to share our religion
way back, way back when everything was fine
man i just wanna go back in time

There Is Someone There

have you ever had a day that brought you regrets
like going back on your words or welching on a bet
like trying to find the truth after the many times you lied
or trying to fix a love that has already died

have you ever had a day that made you want to scream
as if everyone you know is out to kill your dreams
when everything is hurt including your pride
and feels you have nothing left deep down inside

have you  ever had a day so  filled with despair
every person you turn to doesn't even seems to care
feels like you're living in a constant nightmare
then you should try turning to GOD in prayer

Sometimes It's Not How Much You Know , More Or Less What You Let Go

You can't build your future off of your past 
Because that's a structure that will never last 
It's like running full speed forward while looking back 
Tell me how far do you think you'll get like that 

How can you ever have a piece of mind
When your mind is always focused on what's behind 
Leaves you walking thru life on a very thin line 
And it keeps you trapped somewhere back in time 

It's easy to move yourself forward and gain respect 
But yet the mirror cast an image that's easy to detect 
Cause your mind on the past thinking it'll happen next 
Which leaves you bother and so complex

One lesson I've found , that took me so long to find true 
You can only move forward by putting the past behind you. 
It may leave you heartfelt and maybe a little blue 
But you got to accept it or let it go and do what you do

Make Someones Day

reaching out to touch a heart 
is not very hard to do 
but the only way you can start
is by sharing what's inside of you

everyone needs a pick- me- up
it's not a handout per- say
cause it really does'nt cost that much
to brighten up someone's day

a kind word or gesture 
sometimes is all that's needed
for happiness can only be measured
by how someone is treated
 
so if you're trying to do something worthwhile
you dont' have to go out of your way
sometimes it just takes a smile 
to makes someone's day

Be Smart Stay In School

see spot see spot run, wow mom i can read
yes but you must go to school to get all you need
at home i can teach you how to tie your shoes
but they can teach you why one and one makes two

back then getting an education was so clear 
and we didn't bother to question why 
as we learned the different between hear and here 
and of course how to multiply

but now it seems school is not what we pictured
no more recess where we run and laugh
they have brought in American literature
a when will i use all this math

then you must combind all you know and more
just to try and get a deceit S.A.T. score
which they say is based solely on your knowledge
and it's very important when choosing a college

this is why we must focus on our priority's
in order to get into a good university
and in these times you need a college degree
that's the only way to make it in today's society

you'll have plenty of time to have fun 
so don't be anybody fool
it time you start looking out for number one 
be smart ! stay in school

Facebook Drama

to all of you that think facebook is just a game 
posting all your business without any shame 
now dont you think it's just a little strange 
sharing your life with people that only knows you by name  

our profiles has our name and our address too 
now what if someone was actually stalking you 
you really would'nt be that hard to find
and that's a little scary with a world so full of crime

there is always someone out there that just uses this site 
only to find out what you were doing last night
and all this information is available to your kid 
so they can see all that you're doing or did

still you tell all you plan to do 
not realizing everyone who's friends with you 
so next time you post try thinking twice 
do you really want to share everything about your life 

hey you dont have to listen to what i say 
keep posting your life anyway
and we'll just say it was an act of carma 
that you got caught up in this facebook drama

Every Dog Has It's Day

there once was a boy who lived in a little town 
where he was considered one of the toughest around
 it was not that he wanted to bully for fear 
he was forced to live up to the reputation of his peers
 deep in his heart he knew it wasnt right 
but for some reason he was always forced into a fight 
even though he wanted too it was too late for change 
he had to live live up to the family name
 and it was never cause by the things he did 
it was always because he was so and so's kid
 his little brothers was'nt as tough as him 
so he had to always take up for them
 a friendly kid pushed into rage 
by being force in to fight guys sometimes twice his age
 arguing he didnt chance the risk 
he always settled all disbutes with his fisk 
he was such a person no one could perdict
 some would say he spoke softly but carried a big stick 
others would say he has a good heart but just a mean streek
 however he was not one to be considered weak
 until this one fight that he was sure not to lose 
where he ended up with both eyes black and blue
 and with a pain he'd never experince before
 he knew at that moment that he did not want more
 seems the first time in his life someone had pulled his card 
cause he was taken punches that was pretty darn hard 
so for the first time in his life he just turned a ran away 
he figured better there he go than there he lay

A Change In Me

i've always been one to have his head on straight 
maybe i've done a few things that was quite irate
but regaurdless i've always kept my faith
even when life was'nt so great.

to me growing up in charleston was'nt so bad 
had just about everything any other kid had 
a wonderful mom and a decent stepdad
even though i did things to constantly make them mad

i've always had good teachers and preachers and such
between my  mom and them i 'd learned so much
and even the feel of God glorious touch
to whom i knew i could rely on when life got rough

then i moved away from the country 
because i figured that was'nt the place for me
there was so many things i had to do and see
so i decided to move to the big city

for me as a youngster i was so amazed
i got myself into so much,in them days 
totally forgetting to give God his praise 
and Lord knows this was'nt the way i was raised

i started looking at my life and the situation i was in 
knowing i;ve commited so many sins
pretty much lost all my friends
thinking to myself is this how it's going to end

now the question that was really in demand
was why have i  strayed so far from life's plan
it was even hard for my mom to understand 
 why i had become such a changed man 

but right when i thought i nothing else 
God stepped in and said son i never left 
i was just waitin on you to ask for my help
but you had to experince things for yourself

then i was hit with a dose of reality
and it feel so good to be set free 
knowing i have the love and support of my family
and with him i can be all that i can be

The Mask We Wear

we all wear a mask to hide 
all the things we carrie inside
like the smile we wear so people cant see
deep inside how angry we can be
... 
we put on masks everyday of our lives
sometimes just to hide the hurt & pain
that way we can protect our pride 
and no-one will know our shame

these masks comes in different arrays
to keep everything concealed
so we continue to wear them everyday 
so that nothing will be revealed

sometimes these different mask 
might not appear quite appealing 
we them wear so people wont ask 
us everyday how we;re feeling

so every morning when we leave 
we take that mask from off the shelf
and wear it around so people beleive 
that we're as happy as everyone else
