I want.
Nope, I did it again! Grrr. (Bad dog sit!)
I * *need * you. To say.
What you need to say.
Can you do that for me?
No better yet,
can you do that for yourself?

Can you honestly face yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself,
that yes, Ladies.
You're beautiful.
Each and every single day?
That you're just as smart as the next woman, if not smarter.
And that you're just as capable as a guy for that job.
That you are not property,
that you are either someone's love of their life
and not their love life.
Can you tell your friends, what you don't even tell your shadows?
Can you say that?

And Guys! C'mon now!
Yes. *Some...okay most, ladies like some muscle on their guy, sure.
Same thing with us and our steak, gotta have meat!
Now you don't need the abs, they'll love you anyway,
say what you need to say.
To yourself, that you're okay, and the others are fine with that.
That your friends don't need you to do stupid stuff to be cool.
That Drinking and Driving is fine,
that that next joint they'll be skipping work or class for isn't worth it.
And especially this,
you need to say, I don't care if you scream (yeah scream) it at yourself,
that she's worth,
so
much
MORE than what you're giving her right now.
But you know what? She's okay with what she's got.
To say...that "Yeah. I'm lucky."
Not the other ****** way around.

So let's recap, go back to start, don't pass go,
let's do this again, nice and slow.
Are you comfortable, to say to yourself, what you need to hear?
Are you ready now, to lose the things you once held dear?
It's a culture shock, that's what it's about,
but if you don't change your life right now you ***, wow are you going the other route?!
Yeah I dare,
I dare to say, that you can be better than this!
I dare to say, that this isn't hit or miss!
I'm saying hit life dead on, fast and hard!
Sweep up the table, like playing card!
"Say what you need to say!"
So a singer once told me,
"Say what you need to say!"
What you NEED to say,  not want you see?

So, after you read this, go find a mirror, or at least something shiny,
and talk to yourself, anything like this, "Hello Me."
"Hello me, it's been a while,
I haven't been hip to the latest style.
Yeah well maybe those shoes out on the street,
yeah those fine (expensive) shoes are making a beat.
But y'know it really doesn't matter now
be it the way I dress, the way I style, no way, no how,
because I want...No. I NEED to make a change, to me y'know?
Cause some one once told me, I've still got a long way to go.
The Show's not over, and it's been pretty boring,
and the fans seem to be leaving, it's me their ignoring.
I don't want to be a star,
no far from that,
I need to be The Star.
I want to make a change in myself, to help others too,
because I know I can do better, I've got so much work to do!
But that's fine, I'll handle the blood, sweat and tears,
I'll work my way up and over, even if it takes a hundred years.
I'll find the love of my life, and they'll love me too,
and we'll be the best we can be, because that's what we do!
We'll have kids, maybe just pets,
So here's to me, Me. I'm placing all my bets."

Thank you Jesus, for hearing a small, scared prayer, for hopes of rapture,
I pray that you'll lead these stray sheep,s next to sweet water and pasture.
Myself included.
May I never stray,
and by you, Lord, shall I forever stay.
This. And more. Is, for now, Is what you need To Say.
To Say.
Yes.
You wonderful, glorious, beautiful, strong, frightened person
To Say...
