Yeah, I come from an abusive and broken home
with beer bottles, trash cans and broken glass
without chandlers hanging from the ceiling
to reflect the past
a place were there is no love dying
yeah, that is where I am from
straight from the hood on the southside
I am from the projects with the jumbo hungry ghetto rats
Even the roaches are not afraid of nothing and they carve you up with their switchblades
So, I have to cheat and steal
to get my daily bread
while on the run from dusk to dawn
man, you just hear what I said
While all my days turned black blue and red
now I carry some heat to survive on these mean streets
I had no choice but to join a gang for love and protection
Still, I am running drugs from nine to five to stay alive
Yes, I know I have to pay some dues to find the open door
So mama please pray for me to stay alive

Our love now written in the stars,
A cosmic tale that transcends all bars.
In the celestial canvas, a radiant dance,
A saga of love, an eternal romance.

Each twinkle above tells our story,
In constellations of love and glory.
The moonlight echoes our whispered vows,
As the universe witnesses our sacred drowse.

Galaxies swirl with hues so divine,
Our love's journey, an infinite line.
Written in stardust, in cosmic ink,
Our souls entwined, no need to rethink.

Planets align in harmonious grace,
Reflecting the love in our embrace.
The Milky Way weaves dreams untold,
In the language of love, pure and bold.

Meteor showers, like kisses we share,
Our love's brilliance fills the cosmic air.
In the vast expanse, where infinity starts,
Our love now written in the stars.

So, let the heavens be our eternal page,
Our love story, an ageless sage.
In the astral tapestry, where galaxies mar,
If you let me sing a few bars
Our love is forever, written in the stars.

Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a vast expanse,
Where dreams take flight in a cosmic dance.
Above the earthly bounds, where birds freely roam,
In the canvas of the heavens, our spirits find a home.

A tapestry of blue, painted with daylight's hue,
A celestial haven, where the soul breaks through.
With every brushstroke, the sun and clouds convene,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a masterpiece serene.

In daylight's embrace or the twilight's grace,
The canvas shifts, each moment a new embrace.
Stars twinkle like diamonds in the moonlit sweep,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a promise to keep.

With the sun's descent, a canvas ablaze,
In hues of orange and pink, a celestial maze.
A symphony of colors, where day and night entwine,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a sanctuary divine.

The moon, a silver crescent or a full, round face,
Casting its glow on the world's quiet grace.
In the stillness of night, when the world is hushed and broken,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, a whispered token.

So, let our prayers rise like the morning sun,
In the open sky, where day and night are spun.
In the grandeur above, where stars have spoken,
Oh Lord, the sky is wide open, our eternal token.

Oh, love, we walked into each other's gaze,
A dance of fate in life's intricate maze.
In the tapestry of time, our paths aligned,
Two souls converging, destinies entwined.

Underneath the stars, our story began,
A serendipitous encounter, a cosmic plan.
Through the twists and turns of life's grand scheme,
In each other's eyes, we found a cherished dream.

Oh, love, we walked into a shared space,
A realm where emotions find their grace.
Hand in hand, through joy and through strife,
We navigate the journey of this shared life.

In the echoes of laughter and the silence of night,
Our connection deepens, our hearts take flight.
Oh, love, a fusion of souls, beautifully spun,
In each other's arms, we've become one.

As we traverse the pathways of destiny,
Oh, love, you and I, an endless symphony.
We walked into each other, a destined art,
A timeless connection, etched in the heart.

When love plays for keeps, it's a timeless game,
A commitment not swayed by fortune or fame.
In the dance of hearts, where promises are sworn,
Love plays for keeps, from dusk till dawn.

Through the ebb and flow, in life's shifting tide,
Love remains steadfast, forever by your side.
In the symphony of emotions, where passion leaps,
Eternal vows are whispered when love plays for keeps.

Not a fleeting spark, but a steady flame,
In the heart's sanctuary, love stakes its claim.
Through joys and sorrows, in valleys and peaks,
A resilient bond forms when love plays for keeps.

In the quiet moments and laughter's peals,
In shared dreams and the touch that heals,
Love writes its story in memories deep,
A lasting legacy when love plays for keeps.

It's not just a game of chance or fate,
But a deliberate choice, a conscious state.
In the commitment to cherish, the devotion runs deep,
A sacred promise when love plays for keeps.

So, let the heart be a keeper of this flame,
In love's enduring quest, both tender and tame.
For in the sacred union where affection seeps,
True bliss is found when love plays for keeps.

Through the enchanted green hills of Mercedes,
Where the whispers of nature tell tales at ease,
A magical landscape, where dreams unfold,
In the embrace of beauty, a story yet untold.

Meadows of emerald, kissed by the sun,
Where wildflowers dance, their ballet begins,
A symphony of colors, a painter's delight,

Carries secrets of the hills on the playful tease.
In the rustle of leaves and the babbling rills,
Nature unveils its wonders in Mercedes' green hills.

Casting dappled shadows, a coverlet's fall.
Through the winding trails, where adventure spills,
Exploring the mysteries of Mercedes' green hills.

As the hills awake from the tranquil night.
The sun paints a canvas with its golden frills,
A masterpiece unveiled in Mercedes' green hills.

In this enchanted realm, time slows its pace,
And the heart finds a haven, a serene embrace.
Through valleys and peaks, where nature fulfills,
The soul finds solace in Mercedes' green hills.

So let us wander through this magical domain,
Where the enchantment of nature will forever reign,
In the tapestry of green, where serenity distills,
A timeless beauty in Mercedes' enchanted green hills.

When love has jealous eyes, a storm may brew,
A tempest of emotions, both dark and true.
In the gaze that once held only tender ties,
Now flickers a flame with jealous eyes.

In the shadows of doubt, mistrust may play,
Casting its shadows on a once sunny day.
Yet, in the heart's chamber where love lies,
Conflicting emotions spark in jealous eyes.

A whisper of fear, a pang of concern,
A love once steady now takes a turn.
But in this tempest, where the confusion lies,
Love seeks understanding in jealous eyes.

For jealousy, a mirror to one's own fear,
Reflects insecurities that often draw near.
Yet, in the storm's center, where truth defies,
There's potential for growth in jealous eyes.

So, let love be a balm to soothe the ache,
Communication is the bridge, the bond to remake.
In the tumultuous sea where emotion ties,
Find calm and understanding in jealous eyes.
