All I Want
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Communication is the key, put it in the keyhole. Welcome to my house of feelings, come on in. Let me show you around beneath my skin. It's a mess but I can clean it up for you. I won't mind you staying because I love you. So get comfortable and make yourself at home. I'd love it if you could live inside my dome. Let's make this house a happy home together. Building a foundation that can stand any weather. All I want is you and only you in my life. Life is hard, but we can get through the strife.

Clogged Up
I'm thinking of words to say but they are clogged up with negativity. I'm trying to use my faith like Drano to unclog my mind so it can flow smoothly. Life is hard like a diamond, once you polish it you will bring out the shine. Lately, I have been feeling like The Tin Man with no heart called that a flatline. I need a certified plumber because I have so much build-up of depression. My soul was lost, it got off the wrong exit going in the wrong direction. So I made a u-turn like an 18-wheeler driver hauling an oversize load. I pull out my pen because my head feels like it's gonna explode! I...

Hear Me
Communication is key.
But you don't hear me.
We've been going up and down.
Like a seesaw on a playground.
We both are grown.
To be playing on the phone.
You hang up when we argue.
When it's about you?
You don't want to listen.
My heart is in bad condition.
Like a car with too many miles.
Through the agony and smiles.
I need you to understand.
It's getting out of hand.
I'm sinking fast like quicksand.
This is not what we planned.
We need to sit and talk.
To see if we both want the same. ...

City Trap
Whatcha know about the struggle stuck in the city trap? It's dangerous on these streets, you gotta stay strapped. I'm working nine to five tryna pay my bills. Life is filled with ups and downs, gotta climb these hills. Ain't nothing free out here so I tryna get it. Keep to myself and stay away from the bullshit. I have no time to waste, they say life is short. I'm tryna be good, don't wanna go back to court. I have been through so much pain my soul is numb. I don't give up, I don't wanna be a bum. I tryna be somebody in my son's eyes. A man he can look up to and idolize. Teaching him what is...

It's Going Down
It's going down when I touch down.
When I touch down it's going down.
30,000 feet up in the air.
Can't wait to show you how I care.
When I get a hold of you oh girl.
I'm going to rock your world.
I can't wait to squeeze you.
I can't wait to hug you.
I can't wait to kiss you.
I can't wait to see you.
It's been months since I haven't seen you.
Long distance is killing me, I miss you, boo.
I'm on vacation and I wanna spend some time.
With my baby my partner in crime.
I got an hour and a half to touch down. ...

Back & Forth
He says he loves you.
Then he turns around.
Then he says fuck you.
Then put you down.
He stole your heart, he's a thief.
And now you can't get any relief.
You give him 6 years of your love.
He cheated and didn't wear a glove.
A baby is on the way, it's not yours.
Tears escaping through your pores.
He put you through so much pain.
You can't get rid of your migraine.
You can't eat, and you can't sleep.
You never got any TLC so he creeps.
At night you blow up his phone.
While he leaves you home all alone. ...

Celebrate
I'm celebrating being alive, this was a tough year. I survived two accidents, both of which were severe. I was in a car and an 18-wheeler accident that left me sore. I'm stuck in a room of depression and I can't open the door. Things have been hard lately without having a job. I'm not going to let the Devil trick me to steal, kill, and rob. Taking it day by day because I know God got me. I need him to take me away, I'm trapped in misery. What else is there to celebrate besides being able to breathe? When you're going through a struggle at times you don't wanna breathe. I have been walking on...

Getting Through
Every day I try to walk with a smile.
Wish I could pick up the phone and dial.
Heaven, because you're not here.
This pain I'm feeling is so severe.
I miss you so much I can't believe you're gone.
Life is hard trying to move on.
Especially when you love someone that much.
I just need to feel your touch.
I wish I could teleport to you.
To hold you in my arms just for a few.
Minutes, that would be amazing.
Just sitting here daydreaming.
Of all the memories we have shared.
Everything changed, I wasn't prepared.

Separate Ways
Let's go our separate ways.
It's been too many hazy days.
You shed too many tears.
For nearly over 8 years.
I see why you wanna leave.
Some lie, cheat and deceive
A woman doesn't want to wait.
Then it will be too late.
For a man to change his ways.
Nothing lasts, nothing stays.
Being with an unfaithful man.
That doesn't have a plan.
A relationship with no goals.
Is a long road with potholes.
That causes wear and tear.
To your soul in despair.

Low
I feel so low like a Lamborghini.
Hoping for three wishes and a genie.
To make all my problems disappear.
I just don't wanna shed another tear.
I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired.
Screws loose, my brain is so wired.
My body is shaking like I took a drug.
Feels like I wanna just pull the plug.
Hoping for three wishes and a genie.
To make all my problems disappear.
I just don't wanna shed another tear.
I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired.
Screws loose, my brain is so wired.
My body is shaking like I took a drug.
Feels like I wanna just pull the plug.

No More
No more of my love I had enough.
You foul out when the game got rough.
You play with my heart like an Xbox.
The game is over, I need a detox.
To cleanse my mind, body, and soul.
So I can be free, you have no control.
I'm moving on from all the bullshit.
This ain't gonna work we gotta split.
So we can go our separate ways.
Feelin like I was stuck in a maze.
But I escape from this relationship.
My mind was all over the place, you're a trip.
You foul out when the game got rough.

Dear Luv, how are you?
I'm sorry for how I treated you.
I should have treated you right.
But all we did was fight.
You deserve more.
I have left you sore.
Mentally and physically.
Now you're walking out the door.
I won't blame you.
I would leave me too.
Especially if I'm not happy.
I just wanna be free.
Free from the pain.
Free from the rain.
Free from you.
So yes I feel you.
Saying I'm sorry is not enough.
I feed you lies and you're stuff.
I can't look at myself in the mirror. ...
