Always back it up
With all the talk
Got tired of listening
Did what couldn't be done
Carried all the slack
Doing what needs to be done
More talk from lazy ones
Behind the back never to the face
Once they got checked
Playing the victim
Can't win alone making up stories
Trying to get numbers to win

Taught to be tough
Be down for yours
Most elders passed on
Or doing time in and out
Part of the system
Learned who not to be
Not many positive role models
Not about getting trouble
Kept it real stayed loyal
Without knocking others
Genuine while others BS
Only cheating yourself
Kept striving till the end
Made the most of things
Lead by example wanted more
Did what's right to get ahead

Went away never looked back
Needed time to heal grow up
That itch and call to go back
Remember the bad times
Focused on the goal on hold
Vibing the dream to be
Can't be distracted ripped apart
It's shadowed the great moments

Been written off over looked over all the politics. Had a drive seen as too wild and crazy. Not the poster child already being over looked for the next guy. Never going to be seen as normal because of the scale number. Not a **** up brown nosing to be liked always kept out looking it. Had to find another way working harder than the rest. Trying to live life not compare things can be unfair making the most of it all

Found inspiration to inspire others
Believed in others to find motivation
Not always finding it within the soul
Everyday a struggle to be heard
A fight with an *** whooping
Somedays getting by hanging in there
While other times going the distance
Learn from the loss gain experience

Shred tears time to smile
The past hurt so much
Over came the struggle
Embraced the future
New beginnings a fresh start
Taking on the fears not holding back
Delay make the moment time to react

He wasn't good with closing lines
Things always opened up got in tense
Could've been more didn't expect much
Grew apart instead of together short lived
Never amounted to anything more
Glad to be friends then not at all
Not letting feelings get the best of
Emotions ruin a good thing
Feelings of not being enough
Other than had enough fed up
See it from all angles trying to understand
Multiple perspective different outcomes

The strings on the guitar
The vibration matching emotions
Music takes what's within
For others to enjoy maybe relate
Play fast the heart beats just as quick
Sing the words from your soul
The hair on your face stands
Feel tingling so beyond real
Play slow hold a note tell a story
Memories from the past a life time
Moments lived not forgot brought a smile
Relived in the head a better time
Giving life better than feeling dead within
The struggle that helped with growth

Things go wrong
Never turn out accordingly
Denied seen as a good friend
Not looking for a relationship
Told a lie seen her with someone new
Shattered how quick  she moved on
She smiled with the upper hand
Turned my back left it alone
Eventually it was time to move on
We out with a female just to get out
A lunch with a friend nothing serious
She seen me with a friend
Not a well recieved response
If looks could **** an instense stare
She'd burn a hole through the souls
Her body language full of anger
Later a friend would be confronted
What's the back story an investigation
She didn't want to be serious
But didn't like the idea
Of me being serious with others

Tired of explaining to people
Who aren't listening who don't care
Music in each ear blocking out the world
Come up with a story to tell
Reflecting on life writing lyrics
Focused on work keeping busy
Getting it done in a timely manner
Making the most of it all
Keeping to yourself trying to be informed
Stay connected on new terms

How do you write so much?
What do you write about?
Questions I've been asked
I let my mind wander
The words flow right through me
The only time I express myself
Without being judged harshly
Seen as crazy for having an opinion
I could clear my mind think about it
Enjoy time alone to figure it out
Without having these words twisted
Explore it all not just go with the flow
Quick to question it all, ask how it works
Ask why did it happen, turn out the way it did
The word play stimulates the mind
Straight to the point not being to wordy

Another day full of light
Late nights for writing
A pen in hand
Ink on the pad
Thoughts and plans
Dreams become reality
Big imagination a foundation

Things are well others no where to be found
Always around with negativity
Made plans and cancelled backed out last minute
Always delayed, late no regard for others
Made plans that never follow through
Spur of the moment last minute
All of a sudden concerned when usually careless
No invite makes you interested
Always waiting got old just live move on
Keep progressing not settling for less
Can't take the frustration second guessing
Over all the doubt forgave never forgiven
Holding a grudge painting others to be the bad
Acting like no wrong can be done
Two wrong multiple lies, don't make it right
Use to be close now complete strangers
Now distant full of faded memories
Shadowed by shadiness conflict of interest
Pride and stubbornness is the divider

Always for others
Behind the scenes
Make private time
Writing to stay sane
Working out on the low
Mild results starting to show
Reading not hiding it anymore
Over the down play

Spoke the truth, agenda meant well
Opened up how I feel
Not about being right
Just wanted you to know
Hope you don't see things differently
Or think less of the the situation
Given the upper hand
Not looking for a power struggle
Feel empowered not weak
Been years since we hung together
See us having a drink while socializing
Talking about life the outcome
Turn of events how far we've come

Never a lusting
Wanted something real
Got over the fake act
Things are well got ignored
The shoulder to cry on
Heart on a sleeve
Wiped tears overcome fears
Staring in the distance
So much resistance

After the rain and cold
Everyday the spring ends
The summer begins
No more sweater weather
Swarming butterflies
Blooming poppies
Changes in the scenes
Time change heating seasons

Times have change
I was taught dress to impress
Especially when you grew up poor
Smell good stand out
Be your own person
Not be like everyone else
Button up shirts and clean cut
Clothes had room to breathe
Everything is right and fitted
If you wore an undershirt
You had toned arms and worked out
So many weird changes
Before you earned a woman's trust
Shower respect put in time
Now they give up the goods
Women had class not easy to get
But when you got it things got serious
Everyone wants all the perks
No commitment but wants a relationship
How can you be with someone
If there is no love or trust
You love someone you earned trust
Its a two way street with respect
Keeping it flowing when it's true
Too many mistake lust for love
How do you claim to love someone
Why cheat or waste someone's time
Come real or stay away
Some want the real thing
While you play games then mad
Some can be in a relationship
Being picky and selective
Don't complain about being alone
The ones who want you got rejected
Some have unexpressed feelings
Never said what you mean to them

Woke up and prayed
So much hate in the world
Wish I could take the misery away
Heal everyone's pain
Make frowns turn to smiles
Good prevails pursuing greatness
Out grow the bubble
Become much more than before
More than others could imagine
Always grateful to be working
So many lurking while I work
Gave my to finish my task
While the lazy lurk
Acting like a ****
They made themselves look bad
Trying to find someone to blame
***** to be them no shame

Away from the past
Focused on the future
Loyal to all the wrong people
Noble to the loyal heart
A truthful mouth with love
Personal growth come to terms
Pick and choose what matters
Frustration no say or control
Made the most of it all
Can't stand down anymore
Overcome sore heartache

Getting lost within the mind
Losing track of time
Mental anguish confusion
Another day to change
Hold back need not risks
Fear of the unknown
Live in the moment
Be present live life
Live life to the fullest
Seek the moment not hold back
Make opportunity when limited
Make it happen pursue the passion

Told it was wrong
Doing it felt right
Made sense came natural
Once it stopped being fun
The love faded away
Not sure how it went wrong
How to get back that flare back
Thinking about the challenge
The hardest part is getting there
Struggle is knowing getting results
What needs to be done consistently
Being able to execute effectively
Not able to produce

Music opens my mind
Using my imagination to remember
Songs take me to a better time
When life seemed simple made sense
The song I first kissed a girl to in my heart
Music taps into that moment great memories
Music on the track a second home
While training found motivation
Driving home with music blaring
My first slow dance in a college dorm
Fun songs at a kick back drinking with friends
All these moments are golden
Atreasure within the heart
