He tried to wipe it on his pants
but the blood stayed on his hands
he burned his second chance
when his raw sins got him damned
and he’s s’posed to be the man
that you go to in the end
after you rose up to defend
the side the world despised
tho you heard it in his words
and you saw it in [...]

I never enjoyed political talk
who bombed who, wasn’t ammusing me
I never believed the critics who walk
on stage and spoke negative words, uselessly
I may be ignorant to world news and history
but thats only because I’ve already solved that mystery
see logically I have the clearer mind
because I haven’t been fed the lies of time
the truth, you have [...]

I can be yo princess
I can be yo star
I can be yo sunshine
Just tell me where you are
I can be the acapella
to your beating heart
I can be, I can be, I can be your everything
I can be a biatch
when you acting like a jerk
I can be that girlfriend
checkin all your shirts
I’ll check your pants pockets
and [...]

Dont go off on me, I’m still hurt
can’t you see the wet tears

It may be sunny but im sittin’ in the rain

He said “baby I’m sorry
I swear I never knew
about the pain
the sorrow
the ache
the things I put u through”
He said “babe can I ask you
Is there a chance you still believe
in us
in this
in life
with only you and me”
He said “Hun I ain’t mean to
burn your heart this way
I’ll write
I’ll cry
I’ll do
anything to make you stay”
He said [...]

I thought I carried the most pain
When I looked at the kid beside me
80 pounds plus on his shoulders
as well as the crowd behind me
And I realized my sorrow is a thud to his bang
and my status is a bread to his crumb
No, his life wont switch with a flick of a thumb
like [...]

Even atheists celebrate the holy-days
but for the sake of pride they call it holidays
and OMG is on their tongue like the saliva on mine
I wonder if they’ll admit they believe in time
Even the worst politicians have a right side
they slept on the left fo’ so long that their right died
Killing my right to speak [...]
