Words From A Friend

When your nothing to nobody and you just want to be something to somebody

 

I wanna be like

Life ain't fair

But you see that ain't rare

And my girl Ana said it like this...

"How they suppose to like what they see

If you ain't in their line of sight..."

 

I know she right

I'm a loner

That hate being alone

Work with beautiful women

But I'm always professional

Even when my thoughts start to become

Not Safe For Work

I just sang and do my thang.

Because the R&B; purifies me

& "Nothing Was The Same" tracks amplify me

So that the only time I hear my name in anyone's mouth

Is out of praise

Because I'm trying to be the best at what I do

I be thinking though

What these girls think of the kid

Quiet, but he really love to sing

Tap you on your shoulder cause he don't know your name

But he always smile after a question

Because he's genuine

 

Hello miss,

How are you this afternoon?

Well uh,

you look stunning

I just thought I should let you know

Because your smile has made my day

and now I hope you have a great evening too

****

Déjà Vu

But who woulda knew?

The kid is too cautious to jump into anything new

So he stays focused on what he came to do

Come to work and have fun

Wasn't that the agenda boo?

 

A few words from a good one.

Ana

Beautiful soul,

And I met her on the last day of high school

The girl deserves the best.

Because her mind right,

Her smile warming

And intelligence is ****

And she can vibe with me and my music and poetry.

I'm so lucky to have this person as a friend

I guess I should really try to keep in touch with her more.

And that's real!

 

Take notice:

this went from talking about something I want,

to showing appreciation to my friend.

Even though I shouldn't, I always put them first,

they are my family

Honestly,

the people in my life are the best

and I am forever grateful for them

 

~

This was a little something for a friend.

Thanks for the inspiration.

As always sweetheart

shine bright

and know that if you need a shoulder to lean upon

I'll be right there behind you

just give me the word.

okay?
