I’m Tired

I'm tired of seein death,

I’m tired of seein little kids shot because they got no vest,

so they get hit by a stray bullet right in the chest,

or they take one right in the head,

either way they whind up dead,

and all we have to say is three words that begin with rest,

I’m tired of these kids dying from these drugs like meth,

I’m tired of lookin at life and say what’s next,

and then sittin around and sayin what’s left,

I’m tired takin life slow like it’s a game of chess,

well knight to king it’s time to put some of these things to rest,

cuz while things are like this they can never be a pursuit for happiness,

 

I’m tired of livin life in a small town,

I’m tired of feelin like the whole world’s trying to hold me down,

I’m tired feeling like a prisoner; always bound,

I’m tired of all my hope’s and dreams being rained on until they all drown,

I’m tired of never wearing a smile but always wearing a frown,

I’m tired of never feeling up cuz I’m always feeling down,

I’m tired of trying to hide and always being found,

I’m tired of looking for a verb and only finding a noun,

I’m tired of running to only be run down,

I’m tired of worrying about my ending sound,

the sound that’ll put me in the ground,

I’m tired of feeling like i shouldn’t express my feelings out loud,

I’m tired of looking for a thought and only findin a cloud,

 

I’m tired of kids steady joinin these gangs,

and in return they get lead into all sorts of thangs,

they just keep treatin life like it’s some kind of game,

and when they get busted they start lookin for someone to blame,

well if you lookin for someone to blame you only have to do one thang,

look at your birth certificate and find your name,

cuz you make your own path and only you’re the blame,

I’m tired of people not tryin to change,

this racist stuff is out; times ain’t the same,

judgin me by my color is like judgin me by my name,

the fact is is this damn stuff is insane,

so if you don’t know me don’t judge me that’s all i got to say,

so i guess I’ll go through life just waitin for a change,

just lookin for those better days,

so understand what I’m sayin help me change the game.

What Is Music?

music is sounds that soothe the soul,
it doesn’t matter whether you’re young or old,
or whether you are a woman or a man,
it’s something we turn to when no one else seems to understand,
we turn to it when we’re happy or sad,
or even if we’re angry or mad,
we turn to it when we feel hurt or full of pain,
when things change or if they stay the same,
when we feel lost and can’t find our way,
or even when we just need something to help calm our spirit when we pray,
it’s actually funny how music seems to make things go away,
and how it soothes the soul, so we can make it through another day,
it is something that we all truely cherish,
so much that it is even played for us after we perish,
this is to ease the pain of the loved-ones we’ve left behind,
and to give them a song to remember us by,
and maybe, just maybe someday soon,
You’ll hear a sound ,a song, or just a little tune,
that will send you away someday , but hopefully not too soon,
and leave behind a memory for those you love who love you too.

‘Just Stumblin Through Life’

Sittin here thinkin bout all the things around me,

What’s makin me smile; whats makin me frown see,

My jobs got me down but not out,

And the pain in my back is makin me wanna scream and shout,

And den There’s a girl and she’s got my smile,

Hope it stays dat way forever and a while,

Cuz I need all the grins that I can achieve,

Cuz im tryna keep dis sadness and anger away from me,

So I’ll keep my head held up high and search for tomorrow,

Fuck today and all today’s sorrows,

Cuz I’ll be alright as long as I keep grindin and keep my head held high,

Just like T. I, said: I’m gonna live my life,

So until the next time you see me write,

Just remember there’s only three things worth the fight:

Friends, Family, And what you know is right.

Lost

I’m lost out here on the road,

And it seems I have No where to go,

I’ve lost it, I’ve done lost my mind,

I’ve lost the past,present,and future; I’ve lost all time,

I reach for the sky only to grab the ground,

I tried to jump up but I only fall down,

I show only smiles, but I only feeling frowns,

I’m a real good swimmer,but in my tears I drown,

Happiness I want, but for me it can’t be found,

Married to sadness; it’s got me locked-down,

They say don’t be so serious, well I’m a sad clown,

I’m like a beautiful song without the sound,

My heart still beats,but it’s more like a pound,

My pain’s never-ending, no edges, it’s round,

I tried to break free, but it seems I’m well-bound,

It’s a kingdom of pain, and only I can hold the crown,

But I guess all in all I’m stuck on this road,

And it seems that I have no where to go,

But slowly as I start to find my time,

I will slowly start to find my mind.

No Sad Face

Now the rain is comin down,

The pain is pourin down,

I share dis smile, but inside i wear dis frown now,

There’s tears inside now,

In these tears i drown now,

It seems my life is full of water now,

What will i do, where will i go,

How many people will i continue to know,

Will my soul grow, or will i go,

I don’t know what my future holds,

But in the end i guess no one knows,

So i will continue on in this life,

Maybe one day, i’ll have a kid and a wife,

But until that day, I’ll keep movin along,

I’ll try and stay strong as i walk along dis road i’m on,

In this life we all share pain,

But it seems lately dis life’s done gone insane mayne,

It’s got me out here lookin for a change,

But the change i’m gettin ain’t workin,

Cuz the only change i’m gettin is hurtin,

Got this darkness behind me lurkin,

Will it go, well i’m uncertain,

But if i die before i wake, don’t let me see no sad face,

Just know i’m goin to a better place,

Just keep the faith, and I’ll wait for you at the gate,

So don’t worry, just keep livin ya life,

Cuz while ya livin yours, Ima keep livin mine.

Inward Outlook

Pain, pleasure, and pain,

 

 got me in life going insane,

 

 the treasure that I seek is simple sanity mayne,

 

 but until then I keep my eyes open on the change,

 

 people say stay simple but that’s simple saying,

 

 Life’s hard; understanding the serious and the playing,

 

Been trying to understand the black & white but life keeps graying,

 

It is this that keeps me on my knees praying,

 

This colorful blending of the good and bad,

 

Keeps me twisted up but I wear this smile even when I’m sad,

 

I let the anger in me fade who needs this mad,

 

I take this checkered past and turn into plaid,

 

Now why you wanna be mad all the time,

 

Grab the sun because its time to turn this tide,

 

Life’s to long of a journey to not enjoy the ride,

 

Check yourself mayne and destroy this pride,

 

Cause when learn to accept what they say is unacceptable,

 

You get a whole new plug in life, a new receptacle,

 

 You get a whole new reflection that’s reflect able,

 

Because now your outward look is suddenly respectable,

 

So take your new horizon and establish your own sunset,

 

Watch the fall of your pain and the loss of your regrets,

 

Loss of your worries and all these frets,

 

Suddenly this pain you had you will forget,

 

All in all it sounds so quick to do,

 

But nothing is quick when it comes to finding what’s true,

 

It all starts when you look and see what’s trapped inside you,

 

Though your seas maybe rougher then most they can be subdued.

 

To a Hart

Broken Hart well let’s mend it,

Strong heart never offended,

They say only fear fear itself,

But that’s what they say before the put ya on the back shelf,

Hold your head high now that’s always good until ya stumble,

But what do you do, rumble young woman rumble,

Hold on cuz this a long ride,

Pain, sweat, and tears babygirl that’s life,

But strength you have so show that muscle,

Life is a liar so only trust you,

What it do that;s a question with an answer only for you to know,

But the healing ya pursued is a truth shown in growth,

So keep ya pretty Smile shining,

And stay head strong no worries here cuz i know from you There will be no whining,

So in life you yes you will always be the winner,

So this is me wishing you nothing but the better.

Rocky Road

It seems my whole life I have been on this rocky slate,

Maybe it’s meant to be; Maybe my life has a rocky fate,

Because it seems no matter what, I stay buried on this rocky bottom,

And as these rocks begin to pile up, it seems there is no stopping’ em,

So with the weight of the world on my shoulders I walk along,

Stacked up high I tote these boulders,but I carry on,

Steadily I struggle out here on this rocky road,

But even with this mountain of stones, I request no one to share the load,

Why would ask one to share this mountain of pain,

It’s fine for me because I now only have gravel running through these veins,

But though I have a gravel battle sweat never will I let this heart become stone,

Instead I will grind this mound of stone until every bit of the pain is gone,

Because even though I am consumed by this Iron ore,

Within me I will always have this molten core,

And with a heart of passion burning through I will survive,

Because there is no rocky mountain I can’t Breakdown and climb.
