You can be above the influence.
And still be an influence.

A positive one in every one way or another.
With all of my heart.

Row, row, row your boat.
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
Life is but a dream.

In New York City, it's just rain.
I always have my umbrella to protect myself from getting wet.
And then, I'll be off to LIU Brooklyn to meet new rainy day friends.
When there's rain in the forecast, i always have my umbrella with me every single day.

I'm feeling so handsome.
Like everybody else does.
Love is always everywhere.
Except for my friends and family in Springfield.

The words are a beautiful music.
The words bounce in water.
Water music,
loud in the clearing
off the boats,
birds, leaves.
They look for a place
to sit and eat--
no meaning,
no point.

I love thunderstorms.
Like beautiful girls do.
I'm so glad that I'm not scared.
I always be safe.
I love to see lightning.
I love to hear thunder.
I love to see the rain falling.
Against my window pane.

Said Death to Passion
'Give of thine and Acre unto me.'
Said Passion, through contracting Breaths
'A Thousand Times Thee Nay'.

Bore Death from Passion
All His East
He-sovereign as the Sun
Resituated in the West
And the Debate was done.

It feels more like yesterday.
And I haven't went somewhere yet.
But I always have plans to look forward to.
Well, I can't tell where I'm going today or tomorrow.
So, don't worry about it. Everything will be just fine.

Each voice which was asked spoke it's words, and heard more than that, the fair question, the onerous burden of the asking.
And so the hero, the hero! stepped that gracefully into his redemption, losing or gaining life thereby.

This past year was a ******
Looking back, it kinda makes me wonder
How it came and went and **** near took everyone under
Its crazy out here and even though it was tough
I'ma run it back, this is 2016 Rap Up

Denver won the Super Bowl, Cam came up short
Leo got his Oscar and El Chapo got caught
They got mosquitoes with the Zika, so don't get bit
Peyton and Kobe Bryant both called it quits
I gotta admit, Fam, I get mad as ****
When I swipe my card and they say "No, You gotta use your chip"
**** Daniel, "Hamilton" was lit
Who let Kanye West get 53 million in debt?
And Rihanna went to work without taking a pause
ISIS popping and y'all worried about bathroom laws?!?
Come on, fam
How that sound?
So we out here standing up
Just so y'all can sit down?
Warriors went on a streak and then they got served
Panda was a hit and we couldn't understand the words
Huh, and Khaled kept snapping
These youngins keep mumbling
I guess y'all call that rapping
I've seen "Stranger Things", come on dude
Y'all out here shooting gorillas and punching kangaroos
Janet Jackson pregnant at 50, dog
So for you ol' broads, there might be some hope for y'all
I ain't throwing shade, it ain't that deep
**** I don't want nobody out here ******* with me in these streets
Then Birdman ran up on Charlamagne
And Lil' Wayne still not 'puttin' respect on his name'
Michael left Kelly trying to get paid
But the world stopped when Beyonce dropped Lemonade
She slayed, and over-shared
And ya'll still trying to find out about 'Becky with the good hair.'
As far as questions, I got one
"Hey Hov and B, is y'all finished or is y'all done?"
Son, I don't know if it was fake
I know KD did the running man challenge all the way to Golden State
The whole year made no sense
Dog, we live in a world without Muhammad Ali and no Prince
Then Gucci came home
And he looked so different y'all was like, "naw, that's got to be a clone"
Y'all was glued to y'all phones
And LeBron got it done for the Cavs and brought the chip back home
Snapchatting all over the place
I swear to God, if I see one more girl with a dog on her face
It was a sad year for sure
Instead of being woke though
Y'all wanted to play Pokemon Go!
And rap got weird, should we be concerned?
Young **** in a dress, Yung Joc got a perm
And everybody was in the Presidential race
Ryan Lochte, Oh he gets the Michael Phelps' face
Game and Meek beefing, Hillary and Trump
Kap took a knee, T.I., Brad Pitt got dumped
And Trump said he going to build a wall on the border
Ya'll will probably go to flip bottles water
The snow storm had the East underground
The kept shooting black men but wouldn't shoot killer clowns
They kept telling us to use our voices
Knowing **** well they ain't really give us no choices
Get an iPhone with no headphone cord
Or get a Galaxy and go and meet the Lord
See they go low, and we go high
You only got two friends. Why you trying to go Live?
I'ma miss the Obamas, I don't wanna see them go
My prayers to everyone that we lost in Orlando
The Oscars were so white they had to get Chris Rock
And the album of the year had to be Anderson.Paak
Cubs finally Won, Usain was on fire
Melania Trump hired the wrong ghostwriter
I'm petty with the manners
'Cuz I think Kim K. got robbed by Joanne the Scammer
Ooouuu
Biters keep testin' me
They making rappers, but they ain't got the recipe
Huh, Yeah that's facts
Shout to Young M.A. for bringing New York back
And I hear y'all talking about "Kanye is fine"
Well to us it look like Kanye done lost his mind
Cowboys kept ballin', them boys in the zone
Bryson Tiller came along, kept telling us "Don't"
I'm highly favored
I clap back on my haters
I be the beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes
The mannequin challenge, oh, that's how y'all feel?
The World moving dog, we can't just stand still
Beyonce made sure y'all got in formation
One time for Phife Dawg from the Zulu Nation
Did Drake bag J.Lo? I say kinda
But y'all was all up in arms over Rob and Chyna
And that's a new level of female pimping
Biggest L of the year goes to Hillary Clinton
You ask me, man, I thought she had it made
You ask me now, ****, I think we all got played
Another sign of the times
And now the whole World laughing at us, sounding like ChewbaccaMom
2016 was a bully and a punk
On top of that, now we gotta deal with Donald Trump?
Pardon me, as I vent
Bro, we made a reality star the President
And that just makes me sick
Talking about, "We gotta give him a chance." Naw
I ain't got to give him ****
It's going to be hard to cope
Because you can't have progress, dog, if you don't have hope
More pros, less rookies
And if America's ours, how we let it get grabbed by the *****?
They say I sound mad, off the cuff
Oh, I sound mad? Y'all don't sound mad enough
So from here on out, we gotta set the tone
Y'all protect yourself and protect your own
And way too many people got called back home
2016 you can go, and I'm glad you're gone
Felt like a long bad dream
I'm wishing you love and life, Welcome to 2017.

In the rain,
A girl walking in the streets looking for some love.
And I can't wait to make love in the rain again.

Attitudes can happen.
Every day of the week.
And when winter comes, i can feel more cold temperatures.
When spring comes, i will make it rain.
When summer comes, it's still good enough to go to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
And when fall comes, romance is going to be great.
That's why I love New England because it's my beautiful paradise for me.
And this is what good attitudes mean to me.

gratitude is all about transportation,
much-needed education,
and even good attitudes.
every year, we always treat each other with respect, knowledge and passion.
Although, we are committed to a safe and convenient poetry that affect us from happening.
And we will be best friends forever.

A future New York City Subway car ordered for the B Division.
It will replace the aging fleet of R-32s and R-42s and expand the fleet for the Second Avenue Subway.
The contract to build these cars has been awarded to Bombardier Transportation who will build the cars at it's Plattsburgh, New York facility.
The base order for the R-179 will be approximately 290 cars with an option of 300 cars.
And it's expected to enter service between 2016 and 2022.

Will you be my umbrella?
Hold me close,
Keep me safe.
When the rain pours down?

Or will you be the storm?

They said we couldn't beat the Steelers.
We did.
They said we couldn't beat the Seahawks.
We did.
They said there is no way to beat the Panthers.
We did.
And as for us, we did it! We WON the SUPER BOWL 50!

2015 is over and 2016 is here.
Happy New Year.
To me and my friends.
Enjoy.

Every person becomes young and the restless like everybody else does including me, myself and I.

Going my way since I'm encountered for.
Everyone should know about it.
Massachusetts welcomes you to faith of impression.
I respect myself and others.
Never got involved in criminal activities.
I love being a beautiful rain lover of the year.

In what at least
Seemed anger the Aquarians in the basement
Had been perfecting a device.
For making sense to us
If only briefly and on pain
Of incommunication ever after.
Now look who's here. Our prodigal Sunset. Just passing through from Isfahan.
Filled him by the glass.

getting revenge is not about hurting themselves.
it's all about the safety and security for the people of Springfield, Massachusetts.
And it's not a thrill either.

Let the rain wash away my insanity.
It won't be over until 2015 ends.
Because the future is now.
And I always keep calm, be forever and stay young and the restless.

Children come to school
On foot, bus or train
They all become wet,
When comes the rain.
Children open their umbrella,
Red, blue or cream
They all shout in joy
Rain you always come in my dream.

I'm sad and broke
Because I don't have any money with me today
And it's all my fault.
Maybe tomorrow will be better when i become rich again
As soon as the rain wash away all the pain of my life. And I'll be happy to see lots of girls again.

For our hearts and prayers, we will never forget about what happened in Paris.
As the rain began to pour, we will pray for god and heaven to those who were killed in the Paris terrorist attacks.
And i'm going to be sad that I'll have to go to Paris and let my teardrops fall down my face.
Speaking to this, i'm not really a terrorist here in Massachusetts because i don't do any crimes like that in my own life.
Also, my languages are always English and French as well.
So, join me as i make it through the storm and pray for Paris.

Like the sweet apple which reddens upon the topmost bough,
Atop on the topmost twig, — which the pluckers forgot, somehow, —
Forget it not, nay; but got it not, for none could get it till now.

Like the wild hyacinth flower which on the hills is found,
Which the passing feet of the shepherds for ever tear and wound,
Until the purple blossom is trodden in the ground.

For all the hurt and all the tears,
The good times throughout the years.
For all the time you have been mine,
Darling, won't you be my valentine?.
