Shyne On
Thank God for change
Thank God for opportunities
One day we will finally have immortality
To live in a place where grace shynes upon your face
Where freedom is all you have
No more tears or fears
No more lies and forbidden ties
Finally you can rest your eyes
And scream to the top of your lungs
For all to hear
I'm blessed and my time to shyne is here
Thank God for opportunities
One day we will finally have immortality
To live in a place where grace shynes upon your face
Where freedom is all you have
No more tears or fears
No more lies and forbidden ties
Finally you can rest your eyes
And scream to the top of your lungs
For all to hear
I'm blessed and my time to shyne is here

I remember
Us we were two souls
Looking for something in each other
We saw what others never saw
We heard what only deaf ears could hear
We felt the heat before it hit the plate
I remember
Chillen in the box
Making rhymes ...smoking dimes and acting if everything was fine
I remember
Dope times also meant blurred lines
We started to see what had us blind
We started to hear what everyone was saying
We started to feel ,but our hearts were dead
...

Conscience
Truth why do you cut me so deep
Hearing your voice makes me scream
Seeing your face oh so beautiful but still so mean
I can't help but love & hate you all at the same time
It's crazy you make or break the world
So powerful so sweet but can turn into
Burning tar & smell like rotten old meat
Truth you've stab me only to grab me
You've taken me by the hand & showed me the path that I should be taking
You've shown me broken ships that I never should've tried to fix
The realist of them all is a category that your name will fall ...

Reality killing me
Fantasy reminding me
Why is this world so cruel
Full of low down bitches
And no good niggahs
Reality killing me
Fantasy reminding me
Why do people do the things they do
But let the bullshit come lay & fall through
Intentionally meaning everyone no good
But playing the victim bitch you good
Round of applause for all the hoes lying for a so call cause
Aka Save your ass hoe corporation
Passing on bullshit throughout each generation
Reality killing me
Fantasy reminding me
I dream of times...

Sorry
Why can't I love
why do I run from you
why do I hide from you
why can't i accept you
I'm scared
I can't give you my all
Give you every piece of me
You'll have the power
That can make or break me
And i can't allow such a thing
Stay away..Get back
There is no we ..there is no us
Yes there is lust
Yes we had fun
But still i must run
I can't love you
I need to escape
I need to be free
Even though life with you seems
Way better to me
i can't hold you down and keep you around
It didn't work...

Shine On Me
Nothing was ever cookies & rainbows
I just floated as the rain flowed
Waiting for the sun to shine
Blinded by the lines..the dimes...and all the wasted time
Not seeing what was really In front of me
Open doors that always seemed sealed
I got comfortable floating with the rain ..listening to the thunder..and feeling the lighting strike my body
After every mistake & sin
But no regrets I saw the sun shine one time and now I swim through the rain ..make beats to the thunder and stand strong through the lighting... So that one day the sun will shine on me...

Hopeless Romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
Trying not to panic
In a world of lies
Where everyone dies
Searching for love
But not seeking above
I'm a hopeless romanic
I use to ask why me
Why I that only wants what I can't have
To only realize what I needed in the beginning
Was to look at love in another meaning
I'm a hopeless romantic
Nothing's flowers & rainbows
Except after the rain falls & the wind blows
Closed doors & tears pour
Supposedly falling in Love
But ending up dying inside
While trying to create a...

Lost
I'm so confused
I'm so scared of losing them
One fucks the shit out my mind
The other satisfies my needs between my thighs
Lord knows I want nothing but the best for them
I hate feeling like this
Is it love
Is it lust
Hell it might even be guilt
Their happiness means a lot to me but does mine mean anything to them
Who should I chose or should I say lose
I prayed about it and for some reason
They are still in my life ....idk what to do I just want one to have and to hold
To love me for the fucked up person I really am inside and out flaws...

lesson learned
I never thought I’d have to question everyone around me
Thinking that everyone in my life was for me
But low key only wanting to back door me
Young and dumb they say
And only with time you’ll learn some day
Out of my 19 years of living I still tend to trust many
And never do I get respect in return from any
When will I learn
When will my heart turn cold
When will this anger I hold inside come alive
All these feelings and emotions compacted in me
Wishing I could release it on the world
Letting everyone who has ever wronged me...

I have never been so disappointed in myself
I try to tell the truth so therefore my life will be smooth sailing
But instead its cross nailing
I feel I’ll never get to be good enough
There is so much going on with me that I never let out
That I’ll never let others find out
I’m ill not sick…social life is fuckery….my college life is like dust to me
My job isn’t a must for me
I do everything to make others happy and when I can’t it does something to me
My head hurt…my heart is torn…my bodies weak…
And my soul soon God it will meet
I can’t live like...

The American WAY
I smile because they told me too
I laugh because I’m supposed to
I go to school because it’s THE AMERICAN WAY
To succeed and be what they tell you to be
As children they say go to school and graduate
Go to college and graduate they say
Get married have kids they say
That is “THE AMERICAN WAY”
But what is our way, our dream
Our meaning of life
If we don’t follow The AMERICAN WAY
We become bums to everyone we know and love
Except the man above
What is your dream?
How do you see your life?
Is it what you want?

f**k Thang
Fuck thang
Sending you a message its two O‘clock
I’m tryna feel you
No I don’t love you but I love him
He makes me cry but in a good way
He beats me to I’m sore
But I can’t help but to want more
Hear a knock on my door
Oooo I know it’s you
Always ready to come through
No feelings I don’t want you
Just feeling you go deep until I pour
Screaming louder Baby Give me more
You’re my little whore
So loyal never have you missed a call or a text
I hate looking in your eyes when we done
Don’t get me wrong it was fun but we...
