Parents Love

Come with me my child
I will teach you to not be so wild
I will give you lots of love
You will be held high above
Above anything in my life
Guide you to make good choices
Encouraging and love from our voices
Every day I will protect you and help you understand
That your life should have a plan
A plan to be productive
One thats not destructive
So please my child let me love you and make you tough
Because just surviving should NEVER BE ENOUGH

Together

Tengo mi corazon abierto por tu amor
My feelings begin to pour and pour
Me gusto a mirar tu cara porque estas muy bonita
And my heart explodes with passion because you are my senorita
Te quero todos los dias mas y mas
Some days my soul is so amazed with you my eyes are criss cross
Puedo bailar con tigo por todo mi vida
Holding you tight and enjoying every minute saying ohhh yeahhhh
So forever we can dance and love in the rain
And ye,s times will challenge and there will be pain
But with love as our guide
There's nowhere happiness can hide
And nothing to stand in my way with you by my side

Superstar goes bad, or does he??

Oh man he's one of the best players I've seen play
He can dribble with both hands and drive any way
Jumps higher than anyone, probably even Labron
At every level from age 5, championships hes won
Basketball is all he seems to know and only a mere 18 years old
But, coaches from big schools say no because of some things they were told
Talent, he has more than anyone else they've seen
And now drama and accusations are flowing like a river stream
So he wanders the streets with the clouds hanging over his head
Confused and wondering how can all his dreams be dead
With a small chance he may be able to crawl out
And I know its going to take a great deal of clout
So stop making excuses superstar about what you "didn't do"
And show the world that accomplishing your dreams can come true

"Do the right thing, EVEN when no ones looking!"

Doing Time

Outside the sun shines bright and the kids play
Outside my eyes squint and the trash blows away
Outside I can smell summer cooking the streets
Outside it will continue to get hotter over the next few weeks
Outside everyone is hurrying to get things done
Outside oiled bodies are glistening in the sun
Outside you can be free
Outside...its where you'd be without that felony

Memories or Is it just me

Have I forgotten where I came from?
Who's asking me and why?
I have pounded the pavement barefoot by blumberg
I have grazed the field behind my Gravel Street home
Forget? How could I Ever?
Why would my mind ever allow me to lose thought
The thoughts of being the king of kickball
The feeling of riding bikes free as a bird
Or is it the memory of Pain?
Pain I saw in her eyes
Pain I felt in my heart
Pain that has made me the man I am today
Forgotten? I would never do such a thing
I'm just more prepared for anything this life has to bring
My walls have crumbled and my hearts aware
And still today I look at my past in the mirror and just stare

Free at last

If a man is given 2 options but nether one is what he wants
Is it still his choice?
I am awaken by the dawn and I say to myself, am I allowed to be me today
Is someone going to do things their way?
I grit my teeth and stand my ground
Because I know this fight will go more than one round
Don't do that, don't do this and check in with me often
If that's the case then size me up for my coffin
My heart can't accept a world that allows restrains and ties
My mind can't be fulfilled if its all deception and lies
My soul, well, its too strong to be anything other than free

Today I was Thinking

Criminals get away with it all the time
An innocent man serves life for a crime
Our children suffer in the streets because of parent’s choices
Barely growing those children have no voices
A man takes a cup from the trash and drinks
Survival at its finest moment no matter what society thinks
Our human race suffers year after year
Arguments about the end being near
Praise when it’s earned, and listen to the signs
We can stop these cruel and unusual times
The smallest gesture can change a life forever
And when it comes to perseverance, it helps to not say never.
