Therapy

I was down on many days/It was hard in many ways/I've been through the dirt and through the mud but all my dues are paid/I was "What the fuckin" all the time/Havin nothing clutch the 9, not a nickel, not a dime/Drank away the issues, vodka soda, vodka limes, been through plenty tissues, suicide inside my mind/But then my friend I found a pen and jotted down a line/And in that line I made a rhyme that talked of better times/Addicted to the versus, twisting words and then inserted, different phrases of the days when everything was just so perfect/That's what really started workin, on the page I started merkin, filled with rage I went insane and rode the wave like I was surfin/It was therapeutic, didn't do it just to do it/I was so influenced being down and feeling ruined/Took the past and then I chewed it, choked it down and then I spewed it, then I transferred to the paper like I worked at Western Union/I was flowin, it was fluent, with every rhyme I was improvin, deep inside I wasn't losin, one direction I was movin/I arose out of that darkness, from that hell I then departed/Took the gas, I lit a match, I struck the pad and then I sparked it/What was meant to be, it began to set me free, skillful at this writing thing I finally found my therapy.

See Ya Later (SYL)

Thinking about the good times and all the shit you did for me/Like a movie reel that's in my mind playing back the memories/I was once blind but you made it so that I can see/Now you're gone away from me and I can barely fuckin breathe/But that's not where this story ends, this is just where it begins/A life time of love and an eternity as friends/I know that one day I will see your face again, there is no one replacing it, praying in my basement/This road is getting harder still, so I pop another pill/I would give the world to bring you back and feel what I once felt/The way you made my heart melt, helpled me through the good and bad and every hand that I've been dealt/Balling at your funeral, flowers were so beautiful/Helpless as I looked at you, there's nothing more that I could do/Life is so much different now, but I know you're lookin down and I know I'll make you proud/Heavens got a special one, you're peaceful with your maker/These are just my words that are written on this paper/I'll never say goodbye to you it's always See Ya Later.

Weren't Meant to Be

You and I were probably never meant to be/Rocky like the cliffs and more wavy than the sea/I feel like I've been stuck inside this purgatory/Trying to see what's on your mind but goin blind from trying to see/I look upon my watch but I don't seem to see the time/The time where we were young and every moment was sublime/Hiking boots on I grab the rope and try to climb/Climb outside this hell that's got me burnin deep inside/Roller coaster ridin up and down since you were mine/I rewind inside my mind the very start of you and I/Full motion like a picture, perfect scripture we were right/Thought you were so fine but I didn't see all of the signs/Too bad you could had the type of man to be your guy/Treat you like you needed, hold you tight throughout the night/Goin crazy for you baby and have no idea why/Thinkin of it now has got me down I'm bout to cry/Letting go all of my soul I spread my wings and let it fly/Need to close all that I know and wave my hand and say goodbye/Was so dumb when I was young but now I'm older and I'm wise/I put it all aside, I take a breath and close my eyes/You and me weren't meant to be and now I've seen it over time.

The Champ

Never ever doubt the heart of a fighter, especially his will, his heart and desire/Flames in his soul, outta control...Fire!/Retire? nope not a chance, not in a million cause he's movin too fast/Won't slow down because he can't/Round after round two fists, both hands/Ground and Pound beatin the competition, from the start to the finish with no intermission/Pay attention, just listen, a simple equation without multiplication, no division just addition/No kiddin he doesn't play games, winning in his veins, success on the brain, first class no plane, so great no dane/No limits, no stoppin, losings not an option, no chokin no floppin/The world is Goliath, you can call him David, Underdog? So what! he keeps on trainin, puttin in work he keeps on slavin/Haters keep hatin, he brushes it off, call him Ray Charles cause he's blind to it all/Won't slip, won't fall, won't trip, stands tall/Mind over matter, those that matter won't mind, those that mind don't matter, running crazy Mad Hatter/Shatter em like glass, 1st never last, second he can't have, reckless with his wrath/Eyes so focused, vision so clear, he's got 20/20 on a mission no fear!/His breath feels heavy, he was born to be ready, quick but yet steady, so slick but so deadly/Always up for the challenge, prepared to do some damage/You try to stand it but can't handle, can't grasp it, can't manage/No doubt he is the greatest, the best you've ever seen, from the top to the bottom and everything in between/So lock it up, zip it shut and seal it with a stamp/No debate, no discussion cause he is the Champ!

Take a Chance

You're more than just a maybe or a hopeful possibility/Visions of holding hands, take a chance this is killin me/Wake me up if this is fiction, don't want to waste another minute/not another second, my heads spinning in different directions, losing control I'm feelin helpless/I've got so much to offer but you never seem to bother/You don't know what you're missin, I'll be your man, slowly kissin/Baby just listen and please pay attention to all of the aforementioned/He's not what you want he'll never be what you need, so take a step off that ledge and take a chance on me/We can ride on this journey together forever as best friends/Through the straight and the narrow around the turns and the bends/I can pick you up whenever you're feeling down and I'll be your king inside this castle nicely fitted with the crown/You can be my queen who will always stand by her man/A beauty never seen with a ring up on your hand/Close your eyes and let go, take a breath and grab my hand/I can be your man if you'll only take a chance.

Tornado

Being with her is like trying to tame a tornado/Impossible to understand but once she’s yours the ride is that of anything ever known to man/She brings her love like a hurricane; the force of it will rip the breath from your lungs/But like watching a storm roll in with curious eyes, your feet will never move/Your body will simply brace until she lights a fire inside of you that will rise, and overtake, and soon you will both be lost in the beauty of it/The absolute raw force of fire and wind and rain all dancing and weaving in a torrent around where you each stand, together/Your sense of touch will be amplified, utterly charged and leaving you near catatonic from the awe of feeling such power racing through your fingertips; indeed, you’ve never touched a tornado until now/And you’ll take in the fierce scent of her until it fills your lungs and clouds your mind, until you can think of nothing but twisted metal and pouring rain/Until you desire nothing but to feel that again, that fury that rocked your soul, that girl who took your heart with the force of a thousand winds and left you kneeling on the ground, begging for more/And every night you’ll close your eyes and call up the memory of her scent, anything to get your heart to beat the way it raced with her/You’ll forever be praying to the gods for one last chance with your tornado.

Broken and Lifted

She has a heart that's been broken before and ripped right out and thrown on the floor/She's cried tears of pain and sorrow and prayed for relief and a better tomorrow/She's been pushed, hit and called a bitch/Open palms and even closed fists/Scars and bruises have all remained and of course the everlasting pain/Defeated and punished with walls built up, a savior has come with nothing but love/He hugs her, kisses her, calls her beautiful/Cares for her, loves her and the feelings mutual/For the first time she cracks a smile, something unseen in quite awhile/The walls come down that were once built up and along with that has come her trust/He wraps her up and vows to protect her. In sickness and in health as one forever/The pain has been lifted and she's no longer broken, her angel has saved her from all that was hopeless.
