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On a world that no longer represents love but hate .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)

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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

"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
Repeat until Chorus fades

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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

Concetta Hardnett Poem
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)

"I can overcome anything"
Bridge:
I can overcome
Everything
No matter what life brings
I am here
Lets get on up
Cant live my life
Always being stuck (stuck)
Create a brand new path
Edit and revise
This not the final draft (final draft)
No matter how hard it seems
I can overcome anything
(Verse 1)
I walk in my dreams
Stop living in my fears (fears)
Ive been overcoming all of these years(years)
Lord i know you never left me
Even when i couldn't except thee
You were there
Just to prep me(prep me)
The challenges of life
I didn't know would come so quick
But you were prepared
With my problems you help me fix (fix)
Each step you took with me
You never did forget me(meeee)
With you by my side
No longer had to hide(no longer had to hide)
I saw sunshine
It the midst of all these things
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
There's still room
Weve all made mistakes(mistakes)
Being created by someone so great
(Oh yea)
Stop letting life get in the way
Its ok(ok)
No matter how hard it seems
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
You are a conqueror
And thats the truth no excuse(excuse)
No matter what people say
God's the only one matters anyway (way)
(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
There's still room
Weve all made mistakes(mistakes)
Being created by someone so great
(Oh yea)
Stop letting life get in the way
Its ok(ok)
No matter how hard it seems
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
Repeat until chorus fades
