A rare sacrifice of love
Everybody wants it
But doesn't wanna give it up
Tear down the walls
And let someone in
But it's sink or swim
Many times you will lose to win
Don't quit there's a chance for a happy ending
That's when you'll find a new beginning

I think I know the secret
To succeeding in life
To create your own ****
And leave something behind
For the time you pass on
So a legacy is born
We are here to express ourselves
Everyone knows pain
Cause you can't see a rainbow
Without a little rain
So keep praying
Trust God.

I'm too blessed
And too favored right now
To be in my bed
And not in a jail cell
The Lord heard my plea
He heard my cry
It was remarkable
It could've been more than a ticket
It could've been a mugshot
All over the internet
I could've been in handcuffs
But The Lord saved me
They said they wouldn't tell my job
Cause The Lord saved me
The Lord said that this night will not hender my chances to be someone
And my job on this earth is not over yet
And that I need to cleanse
I need to be clean for a while
I need to be careful for a while
I have to be sensible for a while
Open up my mind to a new found sobriety
I am lost and now I'm starting to see
That everything starts with a dream
Don't ever stop believing
In Jesus name I pray
Amen

Do people change
Or do they stay the same
Ever so often the situations change

You can change your lifestyle
Your emotions and beliefs
But the core of who you are inside stays the same

Your mad cause my name is &$@&@!&@@&&!@@!&@$!!!
And I look like this
And I wear fly clothes
While you struggle to be stylish
The truth is I don't even try
I literally wear what I feel
The moment when you see a once true friends' true colors its so surreal.
Can't hide an appeal that's within a beauty I was born with
Can't change the fact that I can hold conversation and your boring
Haters hate the things you can't change even though they can change
To whatever they aspire
To feel beautiful

Most of my life those who cared called me emotional
Never understood what that meant till I got older
Reflecting back to when times were colder
Crying for hours in need
Of a shoulder to lean on
Lovers called me weird and needy
Treated me like a klingon
Only wanted one thing
Steady leading me on
A never ending cycle
Of a woman yearning to belong
To a man who loves her
With a heart so strong
Even the demons can't touch him
Turns out he's been there all along

Back in my hometown I used to hate
Listening to old school jams to make it feel like 98'
Anita Baker taking me back to the school bus
Rapping Trick Daddy with my friends trying not to cuss
Reminiscent of a childhood gone too soon
Struggling to adjust to the real world of doom
After high school you simply choose
If you wanna win or lose
Will you fall into the pits of darkness after despair and never come out?
Or will you stand taller?
That's what victory is all about
The good conscious is God
Telling you to keep moving
Keep believing and improving
On a better you and a better life
Faith of a future that shines bright
I think that everything will be alright
...Now I can sleep at night...
