Tainted Mindset

Tainted mindset 

This world is going in shambles 
Has it become more than we can handle?
Yes 
Time to get this off my chest 
Wonder when will the world not stress 
Value people life 
Instead of cutting their life short 
We abort our situations and concentrate 
On a world that no longer represents love but hate .
Is it fate 
That brings you to 
Trying to help others 
Regardless of race size or color 

Our minds are tainted 
An image painted
We have no choice 
But to learn from it 
(REPEAT 1X)

I paint this picture 
In my head 
I try to view everything  from a different led 
I try to remember a lot of things that were said 
That was instilled in my mind 
Like always be kind 
Good things come to those who wait 
Know that it's ok 
If we make mistakes 
Try your best to lessen your plate 
Stay woke, stay awake 
Learn to appreciate 
Appreciate  the smaller 
If you don't know how to walk 
Start as a crawler 
It's the beginning 
Of time you are winning, 
Just make a plan 
Strive be the best you can 


Our minds are tainted 
An image painted
We have no choice 
But to learn from it 
(REPEAT 1X)

Bridge :
You have a plan 
To be the best you can 
Repeat 1x)


Our minds are tainted 
An image painted
We have no choice 
But to learn from it 
(REPEAT 1X)

History

Black History
As this month comes to an end 
I want to begin 
First of all I want to thank so many
I will name a few although there's plenty
Martin Luther King
Had a dream
Yes he did 
That we should not be judged by the color of our skin
But the content of our character 
He wanted us to be 
All that we can be 
He wanted us to love one another and get alone 
He lost his life making a sacrifice for this world 
Thank you Dr King for being apart of the dream 
I want to talk to the youth 
About Sojuorner Truth 
She was an activist 
An author
An amazing woman 
One of her quotes is 
Truth is power and it prevails
Thank you Sojuorner for making a way for us even to this day 
Im sure so much has been told 
I want to speak on Harriet Tubman 
And the Underground Railroad
An abolitionist that helped the slaves become free 
Impacted so many lives 
Yes you did 
Thank you so much 
For touching and helping all the lives you touched 
Red ,Black ,and Green 
Are colors of unity 
That held us together
Back in the day
It represents the blood the nation and the natural wealth 
Thank you for thinking about others and never just about self 
Red light ,yellow light, green light 
Who invented the right for us to know about traffic lights 
Garrett Morgan what can I say 
Thanks for your invention 
Traffic lights have saved the day
Thurgood Marshall thank you for law and making a difference so that we could be treated equal in the court of law thank you for that thank you for always having our back 
Madam C J Walker she was the first woman with the care of hair to become the first African American millionaire
Yes I can never forget Malcolm X he wanted us to protect ourselves by anything necessary, he had a vision so that we could live in this world that was so scary
Rosa Parks was known 
For being so great 
She was tired 
She didn't want to keep up the fuss 
She was tired and didn't want to go to the back of the bus 
She started out freedom movement
Thank you sister Rosa Parks 
Equal laws 
The 14th amendment explains it all
Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes  spoke so much 
Touch so many 
Heart so pure
History in the making
So many others have made the change 
Tears shed sweat wiped off their heads
The change the hurt the pain
History no longer a mystery 
The ones who never have been forgotten 
Getting up early picking cotton 
Cotton that turned into clothes 
Stories that have never been told
So many people
Who paved the way
So that we can live at peace today
It doesn't take just one month for is to see patched and stiched together we are all apart of history

True Love

Real love is Hard To Find

You can look a thousand times 
Still don't mean you will find
What you been searching for
You can look everywhere 
I mean here and there 
But  with love is it in the air
Or not 
Has finding true love
Been forgot
Or is it where you left it
Could you except it
Or make it happen with do time 
Seem like real love is hard to find, (yeeeeaahhhh)

(chorus )
Real love is so hard to find
So many people been hurt
Don't want to rewind
Rewind back to when it felt real
Now they are closed up
I mean sealed 
They loved you even through the hard times
Baby but true love is hard to find

,(Verse 2,)
Remember the days 
You could define true
I was loved for me
And you were loved for you
It was innocent love 
And amazing 
Just the thought of your name 
Had me dazing 
If I could reach back
And turn the times
Then true love would not be hard to find

 chorus )
Real love is so hard to find
So many people been hurt
Don't want to rewind
Rewind back to when it felt real
Now they are closed up
I mean sealed 
They loved you even through the hard times
Baby but true love is hard to find

(Hook)
One day you'll truly see
And understand 
Don't rush 
You have the upper hand 
To get yourself together 
Make it through any weather 
Ask God to especially put it together 
Dare to be different 
It's OK 
Real love will find you one day 

Real love is so hard to find
So many people been hurt
Don't want to rewind
Rewind back to when it felt real
Now they are closed up
I mean sealed 
They loved you even through the hard times
Baby but true love is hard to find

When You'Re Just a Teen

When you're just a Teen 

(Verse 1)
Backpacks, notebooks
Hair done 
What a good look(look)
Let's start with my shoe game 
It's on point
Can't explain
Peer pressure 
Don't crumble or break
Never worrying about what people say
Mind set
To learn 
Met this boy
How things turned
Never knew how it felt (felt )
To like somebody else

(Chorus)
When you're just a Teen 
It's cool (it's cool)
Got  to finish
Stay In school(in school)
It's OK to be liked
But focus don't lose sight
No matter how it may seem
These things happen 
When you're just a Teen (teen).

(Verse 2)
Make up 
On deck
Cell phone 
Ready to text
Don't talk to just anyone 
Observe yes 
At all times
Know your worth 
Is not pennies and dimes 
Running out of time on this verse
Didn't have a chance to rehearse 

Chorus)
When you're just a Teen 
It's cool (it's cool)
Got  to finish
Stay In school(in school)
It's OK to be liked
But focus don't lose sight
No matter how it may seem
These things happen 
When you're just a Teen (teen

Rock left to right
Right to left 
Do your dance 
By yourself 
Rock left to right 
Right to left 
Do your dance by yourself 

Chorus)
When you're just a Teen 
It's cool (it's cool)
Got  to finish
Stay In school(in school)
It's OK to be liked
But focus don't lose sight
No matter how it may seem
These things happen 
When you're just a Teen (teen)

Repeat until chorus fades

Shoot Your Shot

Shoot your shot

Bridge: you only got one shot 
shoot it , you only got one shot hoop it
you only got one shot

Verse 1: Hey how you doing?
What's your name?
you caught my eye, let me explain 
I'm very interested 
In getting to know you
got a couple things 
that I want to show you
show you around the world 
take you places you never been 
I want to be your friend 
start hanging out 
see how it ends 
I was afraid, scared of what you might say 
wonder if I was quiet , would you even come my way
you are so cool , boy I almost forgot
I only got one chance to shoot my shot 

(Chorus)
Shoot your shot 
you only got one chance 
Shoot your shot 
shoot it as best as you can 
shoot your shot that's the truth 
I'm trying to shoot my shot with you 

(Rap)
I'm shooting my shot 
I think you should too
I really like really dig you 
I'm making sure that I aim
a smile on your face is what I want you to gain
taking you  out 
giving you flowers 
making impressions for hours 
conversation not sour 
it's amazing
we actually listen to what each other is saying 
it's cool never felt this way 
you got me open 
like a Marta token
hold on hold on ( you're already spoken for)
the things you do I adore 
you really make me want so much more 
I shot my shot the perfect score 


Chorus)
Shoot your shot 
you only got one chance 
Shoot your shot 
shoot it as best as you can 
shoot your shot that's the truth 
I'm trying to shoot my shot with you

Hook
The perfect score 
The perfect match 
I really like the sound of that 
The perfect score 
The perfect match
I really like the sound of that 


Chorus)
Shoot your shot 
you only got one chance 
Shoot your shot 
shoot it as best as you can 
shoot your shot that's the truth 
I'm trying to shoot my shot with you

You'Re All I Ever Wanted

Verse 1)
There's been a thing or two in your life 
That you wanted to get right 
And one of them is you (You)
What can we do 
You are the picture ?? that I painted 
From scratch
Like your spine 
Baby ill always have your back
I'll run with you
To make sure you stay on track
Not an opinion
Im just stating facts 
I know where your hearts at
Heaven sent
This is something special
Perfect opponent
Boy you're all I've ever wanted

(Chorus)
You are everything I've ever wanted 
The perfect opponent
You make me realize 
(Realize)
Its you I need by my side 
In this for the best
Loving you is endless 
You make me complete 
Swept me right off my feet

(Verse 2)
Its me and you
You and me 
Sometimes I think
How could this be ?
Something so uniquely made
This is something I'll never trade
Your like the perfect game of spades
Im winning
This is only the beginning
So what do you do
When you feel so special
And wanted 
Take the opportunity
Jump on it
A love like yours 
Is all I ever wanted

(Chorus)
You are everything I've ever wanted 
The perfect opponent
You make me realize 
(Realize)
Its you I need by my side 
In this for the best
Loving you is endless 
You make me complete 
Swept me right off my feet

(Hook)
This song is dedicated 
To all who are appreciated 
Loving you to the moon and back 
Your biggest supporters 
Keeping you on track 
Here for you 
Through it all
Pick up in a heartbeat 
Wouldn't miss that call
And if you tripped would 
Pick you up if you called 
Somethings you can search forever 
But when you want it 
It all comes together (ohhhhhhhh)

You are everything I've ever wanted 
The perfect opponent
You make me realize 
(Realize)
Its you I need by my side 
In this for the best
Loving you is endless 
You make me complete 
Swept me right off my feet

Sacrificial Love

"Sacraficial Love"

(Verse 1 )
Love is such a strong word 
It's not showed nearly as much as it's heard
Sometime with  love you have to  fight 
Not with  your hands,but with all your might
Love sometimes requires a sacrifice 
Giving up something , the Ultimate price (price)
So that I could have a better life
And could for once get it right 

(Chorus)
You sacrificed for me (me)
You did it out of love (love)
You opened up your heart
Regardless of (of)
You really paid the price 
You paid it with your life 
I'm thanking you  Jesus from above 
For the unconditional sacrificial  love 


(Verse 2)
I fail you daily ,yes (yes)
Inspire of, you still see my  best 
You take away  all of the stress
I never  have to worry 
I can rest
Even when I make mistakes
You still love me 
Even when I've thought less of myself 
You still hug me 
Never met a person who
Would give his all
Just to make sure 
I can be picked up when  I  fall


Chorus)
You sacrificed for me (me)
You did it out of love (love)
You opened up your heart
Regardless of (of)
You really paid the price 
You paid it with your life 
I'm thanking you  Jesus from above 
For the unconditional sacrificial  love 

(Bridge)
You help me see 
Gave me  back my vision
You were there 
To help me with all kind of decisions
Never left my side 
What a wonderful  sacrifice 
You paid it all for my sins
I don't  where to begin 
Your love has always  been  unconditional 
And beyond sacrificial 
(2x)

Chorus)
You sacrificed for me (me)
You did it out of love (love)
You opened up your heart
Regardless of (of)
You really paid the price 
You paid it with your life 
I'm thanking you  Jesus from above 
For the unconditional sacrificial  love

Hold the Key To My Heart

Verse1)
Its like a treasure 
That has a lock
You do all you can 
To get to that box
Its padded and sealed 
Because it hasn't had time to heal
Its rushed to be open 
Then there's a token
That's tired of being broken
Earned the medallion
And the others 
Got the trophy
It didn't shine
Then I remember
Love had sublimed

(chorus)
But somehow 
You got the key
And unlocked that part of me 
That left 
You got the treasure 
Declare your wealth,not on the shelf
My heart is made of Gold
Somehow you have the key to hold
I dont want to push you apart 
Just hold the key close to my heart

(verse 2)
Yes I've heard It 
I've heard the key turn
Away
Like a incorrect code on a safe
But if you sit and think
The numbers could come back to you in a blink
Even if you've gotten it wrong
Don't stop
You'll get it
With the right fit 
It can be unsealed
Your heart can be honest with how it feels 

(chorus)
But somehow 
You got the key
And unlocked that part of me 
That left 
You got the treasure 
Declare your wealth,not on the shelf
My heart is made of Gold
Somehow you have the key to hold
I dont want to push you apart 
Just hold the key close to my heart

(hook)
Time in and time out
I've learned
Can't give up 
On love 
It will come
But you can't give it away 
It has to be earned
Love is like the time on a clock
It time the right one 
He will have the key to unlock

(chorus)
But somehow 
You got the key
And unlocked that part of me 
That left 
You got the treasure 
Declare your wealth,not on the shelf
My heart is made of Gold
Somehow you have the key to hold
I dont want to push you apart 
Just hold the key close to my heart

When Impossible Becomes Possible

When Impossible becomes Possible

(Bridge)
Turn those No's into a Yes 
Regardless of the situation give your best
No matter if other's say you can't do it
Have a plan and stick to it
Aim for the stars and reach it 
Claim greatness, Go ahead and speak it 
Never ever look down
Help out take a look around
Even when it seems awful
Know that God can turn impossibles to possible

(Verse 1)
Challenging myself, one day at a time
When I feel defeated, I know I'm fine
Not thinking like I should 
Knowing that I could
Do anything I put my mind to
There were days I didn't know
With my strength where would  I go(ooohh)
Didn't really see 
How I could possibly make it 
In a comfort zone,time to shake it
Learn the value of life ,its cost able
That's what happens when impossible becomes possible

(Chorus)
Somehow a way will be made, regardless of what people say
Trying to reach the top, I'll keep climbing
But I'll never stop
Making the best of yourself
Could be optional
I get excited 
When Impossible becomes possible

(Verse 2)
I was told in life
Discomfort bring about change(change)
Everyday you wake up shouldn't be the same
And if it does,have to think of
Ways that were impossible
Make them possible
Within yourself 
Don't stay stuck on the impossibilities of  someone else 
Just like the birds I want to fly, and with my future aim real (oh yes)

(Chorus)
Somehow a way will be made, regardless of what people say
Trying to reach the top, I'll keep climbing
But I'll never stop
Making the best of yourself
Could be optional
I get excited 
When Impossible becomes possible

(Hook)
When Impossible becomes possible
It's so awesome
You have to believe all things 
Are not just an option
When Impossible become possible
It's so awesome
You have to believe all things 
Are just not an option

(Chorus)
Somehow a way will be made, regardless of what people say
Trying to reach the top, I'll keep climbing
But I'll never stop
Making the best of yourself
Could be optional
I get excited 
When Impossible becomes possible

(Repeat until chorus fades)

Each step you took with me
You never did forget me(meeee)

You told me just to hold your hand(your hand)
And i could overcome anything (yea yea )

(Chorus)
I will walk with my head held high(held high)
I will reach for my dreams if its to the sky (to the sky)
With enough on your plate

With him i know i can overcome anything 

(Verse2)

This verse right here is for all my quitters (quitters)
If he quit on us
This world would quiver
Maybe we'd shiver(shiver)
Because without him we'd be so cold
Cant do it by myself 
I dont have that much control
Got to keep focused 
Now thats bold
Never loose in what you trying to do You can have it all its up to you (to you)
No matter what lies people try to tell on you

With him i know i can overcome anything 

Overcome all obstacles
Sometimes its not costable(costable)
Trying to start where i beginned
I can't finish without my friend (friend)
This world is in a mess
But with God i dont have to stress
I know he can see us
Just cry out and he'll come
He's willing to help anyone
