Julliet
Once I was told that there's someone out there compatible with me
I even heard that she reliahed all the things that I liked
So I searched for her in all the places the eyes could see
I searched in the heat, I searched in the cold, I searched in the day,I even searched for her at night
On my quest, I met many who I wanted to be her,to be for me
But,soon I would learn none were quite right
Most made me happy at the moment but weary at the next
I thought for all my searching, it was all in vain
Some made butterflies in my stomach, others light in the head...

Happy
All I ever wanted was happiness.
But, Alli I ever got was tragedy.
Whether by my own doing or by the works of another I have still yet to live happily
To some this may seem a tragedy
But,to me is is just a reality
So now I take a stand striving to be the man I know I am
So please,bare with me and u will see
I'm more than what this life has destined for me
But, Alli I ever got was tragedy.
Whether by my own doing or by the works of another I have still yet to live happily

Win
I all I want to do is win
But honestly, what must I sacrifice to obtain this goal of sin.
For i know that winning is broadly defined
More or less based upon the possession I have acquired
So yes, I want to win but at what cost !?
For if it requires my soul then everything I have won I will have surely lost
But honestly, what must I sacrifice to obtain this goal of sin.
For i know that winning is broadly defined
More or less based upon the possession I have acquired
So yes, I want to win but at what cost !?

This Young man
A young man raised under scrutiny ridiculed by his own kind! They say,young man why do u act this way,don't u know the life you lead is suicide? But,this young man bears the grief of an old man being raised in poverty and restrained mentally by gated community makes him feel alone in his own land.
This young man has witnessed hate from both sides because he was born with the sin of harboring blood from both sides.
A young man born with the charge of tainting a race.
While he's not acceptable to white America even amongst his own kind he's considered out of place.
This...

Destiny's enemy
As I strive to be a better man I search for a better me,but in all the places I look only I find,my destiny's enemy
Never able to align the four things that makes a man complete
The physical,the spiritual,the emotional,and the mental ,
So,now I see my destiny's enemy is none other than me.
Never able to align the four things that makes a man complete

Perception
I analyze my life through my rearview
It's a bit cloudy,murky,muddy there's never a clear view
All I see, are the painful memories,goals,and dreams that never came true
And all the empty promises that I became a slave to
As I self destruct I take my time and reflect wondering what has cost me my happiness
Watching my life in my rearview
Seeing all the pain and regret that I've lived through
Only in the rearview can I see the real truth
Then the perception becomes clear that I'm the cause for for all the pain that I've been through
It's a bit cloudy,murky,muddy there's never a clear view
All I see, are the painful memories,goals,and dreams that never came true
And all the empty promises that I became a slave to
As I self destruct I take my time and reflect wondering what has cost me my happiness
Watching my life in my rearview
Seeing all the pain and regret that I've lived through
Only in the rearview can I see the real truth
Then the perception becomes clear that I'm the cause for for all the pain that I've been through

appear
I shed so many tears!
As often as the wind blows
My soul blows my soul cries
My soul fears the worst of the worst
Until so many tears appear
As often as the wind blows
My soul blows my soul cries
My soul fears the worst of the worst
Until so many tears appear

oppression
I've.seen the signs of oppression
I've.lived my life as the oppressed
My mission is to mutilate the oppressor
So, I may not oppress!
The goal is to relinquish.incompetence
Prevail at all costs
Undermine.the enemy with confidence
In order to eliminate oppressive thoughts!
Its time to be ready,its time to be willing
Dedicated with purpose driven scruples
Its time to go the distance
And,take control of this movement!
The first order of business is to provoke my future
As i dictate my direction
And,embark on my destiny ...

sins of my father
A righteous desire deep inside of my soul but the the sins of my father seems to be prevalent and consuming me
Who I am ,who I'm supposed to be I've yet to figure out. The man whom Ive never met is the man who stands out.
Comparing the little I've learned of him to the little I've learned of me and yet we seem to be one in the same
So the sins of my father passed down to me have given way to all of my shame

successless
I can almost taste it the dream I've been chasing
But there's something inside of me that won't let me make it
I even had a premonition of being success driven
I tried and I tried but still some how I missed it
The things I could accomplish the goals I could achieve
Still I had a skeptical conscience that refused to believe
It only thought of success as an empty vision
That left me overwhelmed, belittled, even fear ridden
The thoughts in me once I managed to succeed
What will I do who will I be
Bound by the barriers of constant failure
My conscience...

acceptance
lured into the tragic part of life
far from the part of life u would have chose
but my hand was delt so I accepted my flwas I accepted my foes
I accepted tragedy as an everyday day event as if it was meant
bamboozled into thinking this is how its supposed to be
so I accepted my misery
and found comfort in the life that was chose for me
far from the part of life u would have chose
but my hand was delt so I accepted my flwas I accepted my foes
I accepted tragedy as an everyday day event as if it was meant
bamboozled into thinking this is how its supposed to be
so I accepted my misery
and found comfort in the life that was chose for me

that part
THIS IS THE HARD PART...
THE HARDER SIDE OF LIFE...
IV'e GIVEN BUT WHAT HAVE I GAINED OTHER THAN THE BACK END OF MY WOMANS PAIN....
THIS IS THE PART WHEN HAPPINESS SEEMS TO BE A DREAM TO ME...
YET I STAY AND TRY TO MAKE MY EFFORTS MORE THAN WORTH MORE THAN MY HOPELESS STATE...
THIS IS THAT PART...
YEA THAT PART...
THE PART I WISH DIDNT EXIST...
BUT SEEMS TO BE SO PREVALENT...
SO THIS PART I ENDURE...
I ENDURE IT LIKE A CHAMPION...
FOR IM SURE THIS PART ISN'T MEANT FOR ME...
