"Dreams To Reality"
Time to carve my niche
And sew my seams ,
Ready to wake the fuck up
And live this dream ~
So much will come true
That you couldn't even fathom ,
Cause you don't get off your ass
All you do is imagine ~
I put in work
To sun up to sun down ,
From writing these poems
To recording my sound ~
A star in the flesh
Believe it or not ,
I been through hell and back
And will rise out this spot ~
My people coming with me
You know who you are ,
The one's that always been down
Right from the start ~
I miss some real...

"The Breakup"
You can see the discomfort written all over my face ,
I swear I haven't been happy for at least a thousand days ~
I'm ready to shut the door and never return ,
you're about to become a sour memory that burns ~
I been called every name in the book this that and such ,
I blocked out a lot and don't remember much ~
Wasted too many years and there will be no more ,
it's sad to say goodbye to the one I use to adore ~
In the beginning it was pure the love so real ,
you gave me feelings I never thought I could feel ~
Couldn't make it through a second without...

"Sandy Hook"
The government's the devil and so is the net ,
stating Sandy Hook is a hoax and people placing their bets ~
So many tears have been shed it could form a lake ,
Causing pain across the globe now their saying it's fake ~
You went the wrong way about this to let everyone know ,
that the society we live in today needs better gun control ~
So put on a show and say a bunch of kids got killed ,
so across the whole world hearts and tears get spilled ~
Was it three shooters or was it just one ?
was it in the school or in the car they found the gun ?
Mixed up...

"The Dreaded Walk"
She was only 13 against her parents she rebelled ,
getting in trouble in school when soon she got expelled ~
Sneaking out of her window as soon as the sun sets ,
out smoking and drinking and having no regrets ~
Hanging out with the guys that are twice her age ,
she's outta control and needs locked in a cage ~
Had her run ins with the law but they don't do shit ,
cause she's only a kid and gets a slap on the wrist ~
She's only 13 and don't know what's best ,
a different guy every night having unprotected sex ~
Next thing she knows she gets knocked up ,...

"My Dream"
Thought of becoming a star when I was a kid ,
I always had this dream that I can make it big ~
All eyes on me on top of the world ,
with all the fancy cars and the top notch girls ~
Living in mansions swimming in money ,
and in the back yard a pool full of hunnies ~
Sex drugs and rock and roll ,
living the fast life never stop just go ~
Filling up the arenas and pack 'em with fans ,
don't know who you are but you know who I am ~
This handsome guy the one that's on the billboard ,
loaded with fame that some would kill for ~
Paparazzi flocking...

"Hope"
The war isn't over I still have time ,
cause hope is always here in the back of my mind ~
This society is just one big mess ,
watching my mother cry while full of stress ~
Through the mountains of fear and fountains of tears ,
hope is always here ~
What some I thought were meant to be ,
now lie deep in the cemetery ~
So hope began to fade ,
and I let the devil parade ~
All up in my brain ,
felt like a hopeless game ~
But hope is always here just at times it hides ,
sometimes lost killing my spirit killing my pride ~

"Hard Times"
I try to move forward but it's another step back ,
no matter how hard I try I can't get my life on track ~
Wishing I was a kid again when birthdays were fun ,
it's all bad now with worse days to come ~
Can't pick up my head i'm still dragging my feet ,
life is a bitch and mine is stuck on repeat ~
Wish I knew about mistakes when I was a child ,
cause I made too many to walk with a smile ~
All the wrong iv'e done i'm paying for it now ,
it's the truth what goes around comes around ~
I can't turn this life around I think it's too late ,

"Discontent"
Discontent seems to never end ,
trapped in a prison there's no freedom I scent ~
My mind in disarray ,
too much negative debris in the way ~
I wear my skin like it don't fit right ,
so obvious upon sight ~
Uncomfortable wreckless restless ,
would trade these feelings to be breathless ~
tired frustrated impatient ,
thoughts racing mind pacing ~
Discontent feels heavy it's rich it's thick ,
pop another pill and make that drink stiff ~
Outside of this world search for an exit ,
playing with fire death has been tested ~
Out of question is...

"Another Cold Night"
The wind howls endlessly blowing all night ,
don't like what I hear nor do I like the sight ~
I sit and wonder how long will this last ,
everyday is the same like i'm reliving my past ~
This loneliness is beginning to grow old ,
what have I done to myself to be stuck in bitter cold ~
I look at the moon up above her scattered stars ,
shining so bright it can expose these scars ~
After everything has been torn apart ,
how do I trust someone to fill this dark heart ~
On this cold night I shiver to my bones ,
so much devastation my heart's becoming...

"Days Like This"
I never knew there'd be days like this ,
unless someone told me and it was something I missed ~
Without second thoughts I walked right into the fire ,
leaving myself surrounded by fakes cheaters and liars ~
Friends come and go and girls do the same ,
stuck all alone cold blood running through your veins ~
It's bold outside and y'all are full of you know what ,
with your eyes open wide but your minds are shut ~
I try to keep to myself cause all of you suck ,
that's why I walk this earth not giving a fuck ~
I see no change it's the same everyday ,...

"GOD"
Why do you seem so far away ,
like you don't hear me at night when I pray ~
I know I sinned and I'm in jail again ,
but I'm ready for a new life to begin ~
All these prayers they don't seem to work ,
and everyday my heart pumps pure hurt ~
It's like I'm hanging on a rope ,
with my grip slipping and I'm losing hope ~
My friends are all gone and I'm stuck all alone ,
and I know I'm old but I'm still not grown ~
It just seems you're getting further and further day by day ,
and I wonder if you're there and if you hear what I say ~

"For Mother"
You are for sure the world's best mother ,
you will always be #1 there will never be no other ~
No one on this earth could ever take tour place ,
never do as much as you have throughout all these days ~
You are the strongest women ever in my eyes ,
and I know I let you down and at times it makes me cry ~
You always take me in when I have no place to go ,
and I'm very appreciative I just want you to know ~
I'm lucky to still have a mom thanks for all you have done ,
and I love you with all my heart sincerely yours your son ~
