    Eyes Of A Child, Part 1
    Justin Hayward

    Listen, hear the sound,
    The child awakes.
    Wonder all around,
    The child awakes.
    Now, in his life,
    He never must be lost;
    No thoughts must deceive him,
    In life he must trust.
    With the eyes of a child
    You must come out and see
    That your world's spinning round
    And through life you will be
    A small part of a hope of a love that exists
    In the eyes of a child you will see.

    Earth falls far away,
    New life awaits.
    Time it has no day,
    New life awaits.
    Here is your dream
    And now how does it feel?
    No words will go with you,
    And now what is real?

    With the eyes of a child
    You must come out and see
    That your world's spinning round
    And through life you will be
    A small part of a hope of a love that exists
    In the eyes of a child you will see.

    Eyes Of A Child, Part 2
    Justin Hayward


    I'm gonna sit and watch the web
    That you will build this day.
    Will it be a thread of love you weave?
    It's yours to show the way.
    Then everything will be as you'll see
    In the light.
    With the eyes of a child
    You must come out and see
    That your world's spinning round
    And through life you will be
    A small part of a hope of a love that exists
    In the eyes of a child you will see.

    With the eyes of a child
    You must come out and see
    That your world's spinning round
    And through life you will be
    A small part of a hope of a love that exists
    In the eyes of a child you will see.

    Candle Of Life
    John Lodge

    Something you can't hide
    Says you're lonely,
    Hidden deep inside
    Of you only.
    It's there for you to see,
    Take a look and be:
    Burn slowly the candle of life.
    Something there outside
    Says we're only
    In the hands of time,
    Falling slowly.
    It's there for us to know
    With love that we can go:
    Burn slowly the candle of life.

    So love everybody
    And make them your friends.
    So love everybody
    And make them your friends.

    Something you can't hide
    Says you're lonely,
    Hidden deep inside
    Of you only.
    It's there for you to see,
    Take a look and be:
    Burn slowly the candle of life.

    Something there outside
    Says we're only
    In the hands of time,
    Falling slowly.
    It's there for us to know
    With love that we can go:
    Burn slowly the candle of life.

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

    My apologies to Lonestar.
    I saw that the previous thread hit 500, and started a new one before I saw it had been taken care of for me.

    It's pleasing to know that if I die, for instance, it would continue.
    That had been my hope.
    For all you do, this thread's for you.

      Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore

      It's you that I adore
      You'll always be my whore
      You'll be a mother to my child
      And a child to my heart

      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart

      Lovely girl, you're the beauty in my world
      Without you, there aren't reasons left to find

      And you'll pull your crooked teeth
      You'll be perfect just like me
      You'll be a lover in my bed
      And a gun to my head

      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart

      Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever seek to find
      In time

      In you I see dirty
      In you I count stars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste God
      In you I feel so hungry
      In you I crash cars

      We must never be apart

      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever seek to find
      Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
      In time

      We must never be apart

      And you'll always be my whore
      'Cause you're the one that I adore
      And you'll pull your crooked teeth
      You'll be perfect just like me

      In you I feel so dirty
      In you I crash cars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste God

      We must never be apart

        So do we stay in this one, or go to the other, or what?

        Anyway...

        Sash feat. Tina Cousins (great voice) Just Around The Hill

        What if the world was out of trouble?
        What if the world was out of pain?
        Would it be a world that's worth living in?
        Without anything, that's worth a sin

        What if the world was out of hope?
        To find a place, where you belong
        You said to yourself, you'll never make it that far
        That the mountain's too high, the answer is just around the hill


        Just around the hill
        Just around the hill
        Take a look on the other side
        Suddenly you'll see, there are many ways, to go to strain
        Just walk around, walk around the hill


        What if the world was out of love?
        And all that we do, won't mean a thing
        Just take the chance, no offering, no suffering, for anything


        You're asking yourself, do you really want it that way?
        That the mountain's too high
        The answer is just around the hill
        "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

          Unofficial law of ACS OT: "When a thread is closed because the post limit has been reached, the creator of the original thread is the one to start the new thread."

          It was done for the Apolyton Coffee Shop. (Where IS Mao these days?) So should it be done this way here.

          Alive
          P.O.D.

          Everyday is a new day
          I’m thankful for every breath I take
          I won’t take it for granted
          So I learn from my mistakes
          It’s beyond my control, sometimes it’s best to let go
          Whatever happens in this lifetime
          So I trust in love
          You have given me peace of mind

          I feel so alive for the very first time
          I can’t deny you
          I feel so alive
          I feel so alive for the very first time
          And I think I can fly

          Sunshine upon my face
          A new song for me to sing
          Tell the world how I feel inside
          Even though it might cost me everything
          Now that I know this, so beyond, I can’t hold this
          I can never turn my back away
          Now that I’ve seen you
          I can never look away

          I feel so alive for the very first time
          I can’t deny you
          I feel so alive
          I feel so alive for the very first time
          And I think I can fly

          Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
          Now that I see you (I could never look away)
          Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
          Now that I see you (I believe no matter what they say)

          I feel so alive for the very first time
          I can’t deny you
          I feel so alive
          I feel so alive for the very first time
          And I think I can fly

            In the same vein:

            Roxette - I Wish I Could Fly

            Halfway through the night
            I wake up in a dream
            Echoes in my head
            Make every whisper turn into a scream

            I dreamed I could fly
            Out in the blue
            Over this town
            Following you
            Over the trees
            Subways and cars
            I'd try to find out
            Who you really are

            In the middle of the night
            Cool sweatin' in my bed
            Got the windows open wide
            Thinkin' about all the things you said

            I wish I could fly
            Out in the blue
            Over this town
            Following you
            I'd fly over rooftops
            The great boulevards
            To try to find out
            Who you really are
            Who you really are

            I wish I could fly now
            Wish I could fly now
            Wish I could fly now

            I wish I could fly
            Around and around
            Over this town
            The dirt on the ground
            I'd follow your course
            Of doors left ajar
            To try to find out
            Who you really are
            To try to find out
            Who you really are


            The Brand New Heavies - You've Got A Friend

            When you're down and troubled
            And you need some loving care
            And nothing no is going right
            Close your eyes and think of me, ooh
            And soon I will be there
            To brighten up even your darkest nights, yeah

            You just call out my name,
            And you know wherever I am
            I'll come running, yeah
            To see you again
            Don't you know that
            Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
            All you got to do is call
            And I'll be there, yes I will
            You've got a friend.

            Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
            People can be so cold.
            They'll hurt you and desert you.
            Take your very soul if you let them.
            So don't let them, no
            You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
            I'll come running yes, to see you again, yeah
            Don't you know that,
            Winter spring summer or fall,
            All you've got to do is call.
            And I'll be there, yes I will
            And I'll be there, yes I will
            And I'll be there, yes I will
            You've got a friend


            Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

            Sweet dreams are made of this
            Who am I to disagree?
            I travel the world
            And the seven seas--
            Everybody's looking for something.
            Some of them want to use you
            Some of them want to get used by you
            Some of them want to abuse you
            Some of them want to be abused.
            Sweet dreams are made of this
            Who am I to disagree?
            I travel the world
            And the seven seas--
            Everybody's looking for something.
            Hold your head up--Keep your head up--Movin' on
            Hold your head up --movin' on
            Keep your head up --movin' on

            Sweet dreams are made of this
            Who am I to disagree?
            I travel the world
            And the seven seas--
            Everybody's looking for something.

              "The death of the corn"- Current 93

              Through the marshes
              And through the filtering glades
              Through the corn
              And through the scything fields
              The summer sun
              She dances and rages
              The summer sun
              Flies burning into the light
              And who shall die
              At the death of the corn?
              Rise, rise, rise!
              The sleeping giant awakes
              He circles into circling
              The wild Wild hunt
              Dawn dies at dusk
              And Dolly banners are raised
              For the death of the corn
              They're sealed and shining
              With the True Love Knot
              And who shall lie
              At the death of the corn?
              Rise, rise, rise!
              Shifting the shapes
              That bleed the mountains
              You tear apart my body
              The corn king dies
              Has died, he dies
              And dying still
              He shall rise again
              And sink back into earth
              And who shall cry
              At the death of the corn?
              Rise, rise, rise!
              And who will cry?
              (The summer sun dances)
              And who shall die?
              (The summer sun dances)
              The death of the corn
              Rebirth and reborn
              And the true love knot is found
              In the death of the corn
              And the true love knot is bound
              In the death of the corn
              And the true love knot is crowned
              In the death of the corn
              The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

                So Let Me Go Far

                DODGY

                So in the morning I awoke
                I turned my eyes towards the road
                I swallowed hard and smelt the air
                I cursed this world for not being fair
                Oh in the morning I awoke
                And through the seasons I have journeyed
                Without a clue to where I'm bound
                I lost my bearings long ago
                I watched our heroes come and go
                And since then I've heard no sound

                So let me go far
                So let me go far
                And when I reach there let me know
                'Cos I'll keep walking, please let me know
                You got to let me know

                My belly yearns for food and drink
                And my heart it yearns as always
                Those pills you gave me for the pain
                Made my mind never feel the same
                Oh no, oh no I won't see my home again

                The vultures swoop above my love
                The wisdom palace steeple shine
                My battered longing for the truth
                Keeps me clinging to my youth
                And what was truly mine

                So let me go far
                So let me go far
                And when I reach there let me know
                'Cos I'll keep walking too
                You've got to, got to let me know

                So let me go far
                And when I reach there, I want to know

                  Staying Out For The Summer

                  DODGY

                  I'm staying out for the summer
                  Playing games in the rain
                  The hills and the fortune
                  Got me fooled again
                  You see I work in a factory (I need the money)
                  I don't want to be late (though I hate this place)
                  I got my debts to pay for (Free me from this race)
                  They're going to have to wait

                  If I ever see you again
                  I will tell you why
                  I was low and insecure
                  I didn't want to make you cry

                  Well my good's turned bad
                  And it's just my luck that
                  You're not on my side
                  So what happens now? Where did you go?
                  With these feelings I hide?

                  I've had enough lining
                  Pockets I've never met
                  They've got me working all hours
                  I ain't gained nothing yet

                  If I ever see you again
                  I will tell you why
                  I was low and insecure (If I ever see you cry)
                  I didn't want to make you cry

                  Well my good's turned bad
                  And it's just my luck that
                  You're not on my side
                  So what happens now? Where did you go?
                  With these feelings I write?
                  I'm staying out for the summer
                  Playing games in the rain
                  The hills and the fortune
                  Won't be the same again

                  I'm staying out for the summer

                    Whole Lot Easier
                    DODGY

                    It's a whole lot easier like this
                    'Cos you weren't in my life
                    But I don't think you'll always
                    Be wrestling on my mind
                    And my friends tell me it's for the best
                    And that truth is sometimes unkind
                    I don't want to see you know that you are gone
                    Certain yes it's certain
                    But I think I can go on

                    Walking home alone again
                    From somewhere I can't remember
                    I got lost along the way
                    In this bowling September
                    My friends tell me it's for the best
                    And that truth is sometimes unkind

                    I don't want to see you know that you are gone
                    Certain yes it's certain
                    But I think I can go on
                    I don't want to see you know that you are gone
                    I'm so glad I left you
                    I'm so glad we're done

                      [Verse 1]
                      I lay awake tonight, because I wanna be with you
                      If you were beside me, I'd playfully kiss you
                      Each time I see ya, the feelin gets stronger
                      You sit a bit closer, we stare a lot longer
                      Huh - reach for my drink and for a second we touch
                      Words are muttered I stutter, cause I want you that much
                      The situation is a no-win, cause he's my best friend
                      But now I'm guilty, of fallin for his girlfriend
                      I know it's wrong but my heart is filled with purity
                      I offer passion but he offers security
                      Its like a trap that I'm sinkin into
                      I wake up sweaty when I'm sleepin cause I'm thinkin of you
                      Then we make eye contact, and I can't hold back
                      I try to shake it but the feelin comes right back
                      What have I gotten into, I feel posessed by you
                      I have these thoughts at night, of undressin you
                      Its kinda obvious blind men might see it
                      But he doesn't, so he keeps on trustin me
                      Leaves me alone wit you, while he's on vacation
                      Well how could he leave me, with this temptation?
                      Now I'm confused, cause I'm no Casanova
                      But you keep callin - you're sayin to come over
                      What do I do? Go or stay and play it smart
                      Its gettin rougher cause I suffer from a burnin heart..
                      My burnin heart..

                      [Verse 2]
                      Girl, you are my one and only
                      You are my angel, and now ya wanna leave me lonely
                      What did I do? Baby did I treat you bad?
                      My heart is broken, and now ya make me sad
                      I remember, when this love affair first started
                      We was so in love, and now we are departed
                      Girl, I'll buy ya anything ya heart desires
                      I have to let ya know, baby you're my fire
                      Warm and wet, each kiss is prolonged
                      It's your sweet caress that makes Rock T strong
                      Just bein with you, and seein the two of us
                      walkin along the beach, cause girl you are my peach
                      So sweet and tender, my love I surrender
                      No need to pretend, that you'll want it to end
                      I'll never let you go, you're forever my girl
                      Ya know why? Cause girl, you are my world
                      My burnin' heart..

                      [Verse 3]
                      Totally tounge tied, every three seconds I keep watchin you
                      He's my best friend, but I can't help clockin you
                      How could this be? How could we both love you
                      Now I'm trapped in this position and don't know what to do
                      I could forget about you, pretend that we never met
                      But when I'm here without you, I start to heavily sweat
                      You give me looks that reinforce the bond that's already there
                      So many times I find eyes locked up and just passionately stare
                      Play the role like you don't matter, he swears that we hate each other
                      But in reality we can't wait to taste each other
                      You're my addiction casue I fiend for your desperately
                      I stand here fantasizin, because you're next to me
                      What can I do, with this passion I feel
                      It's too hard to conceal, so I know it's for real
                      Watched you so many times, I know where every curve is
                      I think you reads my mind, and so I'm feelin nervous
                      I wana tell you how I feel, but that wouldn't help
                      It would only cause problems so I keep to myself
                      Even though, it drives me crazy, to see you sittin with him
                      A tear rolls down my cheek, because I see you kiss him
                      I know the words you're sayin before they can be said
                      Hear the thoughts that you thinkin before they come in your head
                      Wouldn't hurt the brother, for anything in this world
                      But damn I fell in love with his girl - my burnin heart, heart, heart..

                      [Verse 4]
                      My heart is burnin, ya know it's yearin, for ya sweet caress
                      I lay in ecstacy, as you kiss and rub my chest
                      You know ya love me, why must you deny yourself
                      what I can offer you, yet you want somebody else?
                      It's not that - well then girl, what could it be?
                      I hope I'm good for you, cause baby you're so good for me
                      Many nights I cried and tried to make this work
                      Then act the fool and cool and cruel like the church
                      Well I'm sorry baby, I have to let you know
                      You are my life my strength I refuse to let you go
                      You are so beautiful, baby you light up my life
                      I close my eyes and dream of that you'll become my wife
                      Day in and day out, it's you I pray about
                      Don't lock the door to your heart and make me stay out
                      I love you cause honey, you're like a work of art
                      You got me on fire - my burnin heart..

                      My Burnin' Heart 2pac

                        Can U Get Away? 2pac

                        Verse One: 2Pac

                        Ever since I met ya I could beat depression
                        It's like your man don't understand, all he does is stress ya
                        I can see your state of misery from the introduction
                        Ain't bout no suckin and touchin, just harmless discussion
                        Maybe we can see a better way, find a brighter day
                        Late night phone conversations -- would that be OK?
                        I don't wanna take up all your time, be the next in line
                        Tell me your size, let me find you things with you in mind
                        I can see you're cautious and I'm careful not to scare you
                        But anticipation of love makin
                        got you shakin when I'm standin near you
                        News of precision will prepare ya
                        In case you get scared, just ask the man in the mirror
                        Now the picture's getten clearer all he does is hit you hard
                        I tell you to leave, and you tell me keep my faith in God
                        I don't understand, I just wanna bring ya home
                        I wonder should I leave you alone and find a woman of my own
                        All the homies tell me that you don't deserve it
                        I contemplate -- but in my heart I know you worth it
                        Tell me can you get away?

                        Ebony, can you get away?

                        Can you get away?

                        [2Pac] I know it's hard but, can you get away?
                        [girl] So much pressure in the air
                        [2Pac] Let's go man, get up outta there
                        .. can you get away?
                        [girl] And I can't get away
                        [2Pac] Do you love him?
                        [girl] I'm not happy here
                        [2Pac] Do you love that man?

                        Verse Two: 2Pac

                        Could it be my destiny to be lonely?
                        And checkin for these hoochies that be on me cause they phony
                        But you was different -- I got no need to be suspicious
                        Cause I can tell -- my life with you would be delicious
                        The way you lick your lips and shake your hips got me addicted
                        I'm sittin here hoping that we can find some way to kick it
                        Even though I got your digits gotta struggle to resist it
                        Slowly advance and miss my chance not to miss it
                        You blow me kisses
                        when he ain't lookin, now your heart's tooken
                        My only wish is that you change your mind and he get shook
                        Wanna take you there but you scared to follow, come see tomorrow
                        Hoping I can take you through the pain and sorrow
                        Let you know I care -- that someone's there for your struggle
                        Depend on me, when you have needs or there's trouble
                        I wanna give you happiness and maybe even more
                        I told you before, no time to waste we can hook up at the store
                        Can you get away?

                        [girl] So much pressure in the air
                        [2Pac] I know it is
                        [girl] And I can't get away
                        [2Pac] Yeah you can
                        [girl] I'm not happy here

                        [girl] So much pressure in the air

                        [girl] And I can't get away
                        [2Pac] Did he punch you?
                        [girl] I'm not happy here
                        [2Pac] Throwin you around the house?

                        Verse Three: 2Pac

                        I see you remiscin and I hope you listenin
                        In the position to pressure and offer competition
                        Me and you -- was meant to be my destiny, no longer lonely
                        Cause now it's on for you and me, all I can see
                        A happy home, that's my fantasy
                        But my reality is problems with your man and me
                        What can I do? Don't wanna lose you to the sucker
                        Cause if he touch ya, I got some drama for that busta
                        Don't wanna rush ya -- but make your mind up fast

                        I hope you see that I'm sincere, and even if you
                        stay with him today I'm still here
                        I refuse to give up -- cause I believe in what we share
                        You're livin in prison and what he's givin can't compare
                        Cause everything I feel for you I wanna let you know
                        Passion it be yours and I'll never let you go
                        Tell me can you get away?

                        [girl] I'm not happy here
                        [2Pac] If you really wanted to get away

                        Outro: 2Pac

                          This is for the masses the lower classes
                          The ones you left out, jobs were givin', better livin'
                          But we were kept out
                          Made to feel inferior, but we're the superior
                          Break the chains in out brains that made us fear yah
                          Pledge a legiance to a flag that neglects us
                          Honour a man that who refuses to respect us
                          Emmancipation, proclamation, Please!
                          Nigga just said that to save the nation
                          These are lies that we all accepted
                          Say no to drugs but the governments' keep it
                          Running through our community, killing the unity
                          The war on drugs is a war on you and me
                          And yet they say this is the Home of The Free
                          But if you ask me its all about hyprocracy
                          The constitution, Yo, it don't apply to me
                          Lady Liberty still the ***** lied to me
                          Steady strong nobody's gonna like what I pumpin'
                          But its wrong to keeping someone from learning something
                          So get up, its time to start nation building
                          I'm fed up, we gotta start teaching childern
                          That they can be all that they wanna to be
                          There's much more to life than just poverty

                          Know thy self, teach what we been through
                          On with the knowledge of the place, then
                          No one will ever oppress this race again
                          No Malcolm X in my history text
                          Why is that?
                          Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks
                          Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?
                          He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek
                          I don't get it, so many questions went through my mind
                          I get sweated, They act as if asking questions is a crime
                          But forget it, one day I'm gonna prove them wrong
                          Now every brother had to smother on the welfare line
                          The american dream, though it seems it attainable
                          They're pulling your sleave, don't believe
                          Cause it will strangle yah
                          Pulling the life of your brain, I can't explain
                          Beg as you can obtain from which you came
                          Swear that your mother is living in equality
                          Forgeting your brother that's living her apology
                          Thought they had us beat when they took our kids
                          But the battle ain't over till the black man sings

                            [2pac]
                            As real as it seems the American Dream
                            Ain't nothing but another calculated schemes
                            To get us locked up shot up back in chains
                            To deny us of the future rob our names
                            Kept my history of mystery but now I see
                            The American Dream wasn't meant for me
                            Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me
                            Promised me freedom, education, equality
                            Never gave me nothing but slavery
                            And now look at how dangerous you made me
                            Calling me a mad man cause I'm strong and bold
                            With this dump full of knowledge of the lies you told
                            Promise me emancipation indispute nation
                            All you gave my people was our patience
                            Fathers of our country never cared for me
                            They kept my answer shackled up in slavery
                            And Uncle Sam never did a dam thing for me
                            Except lie about the facts in my history
                            So now I'm sitting hear mad cause I'm unemployed
                            But the government's glad cause they enjoyed
                            When my people are down so they can screw us around
                            Time to change the government now panther power

                            [Tyson]
                            Coming straight that resides within
                            Go toe to toe with a panther and you just can't win
                            Suffered fame bats suppressed the rest
                            The rich get richer and the poor can't last
                            The American Dream was an American nightmare
                            You kept my people down and refuse to fight fair
                            The Klu Klux Klan tried to keep us out
                            Besides drew they know no blacks allowed
                            With intimidation and segregation was a way for our freedom
                            But now were impatient
                            Blacks the other skin: dead or sell outs
                            Freedom, equality, then I'll yell out
                            "Don't you ever be ashamed of what you are
                            It's ya panther power that makes you a star"

                              Keep Ya Head Up 2pac

                              Little somethin for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corinne

                              [Verse One]
                              Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
                              I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
                              I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
                              Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
                              And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
                              When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
                              But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
                              Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
                              And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him
                              And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
                              Cause sista you don't need him
                              And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em
                              You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
                              When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
                              And since we all came from a woman
                              Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
                              I wonder why we take from our women
                              Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
                              I think it's time to kill for our women
                              Time to heal our women, be real to our women
                              And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
                              That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
                              And since a man can't make one
                              He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
                              So will the real men get up
                              I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up

                              [Chorus - repeat 2X]
                              Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
                              ooooo child things are gonna get brighter

                              [Verse Two]
                              Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing ta me
                              He had me feelin like black was tha thing to be
                              And suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tough
                              And though we had it rough, we always had enough
                              I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
                              Ran with the local crew, and had a smoke or two
                              And I realize momma really paid the price
                              She nearly gave her life, to raise me right
                              And all I had ta give her was my pipe dream
                              Of how I'd rock the mic, and make it to tha bright screen
                              I'm tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
                              It's hard to be legit and still pay tha rent
                              And in the end it seems I'm headin for tha pen
                              I try and find my friends, but they're blowin in the wind
                              Last night my buddy lost his whole family
                              It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
                              It seems tha rain'll never let up
                              I try to keep my head up, and still keep from gettin wet up
                              You know it's funny when it rains it pours
                              They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
                              Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
                              it ain't no hope for tha future
                              And then they wonder why we crazy
                              I blame my mother, for turning my brother into a crack baby
                              We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup
                              And even though you're fed up
                              Huh, ya got to keep your head up

                              [Chorus]

                              [Verse Three]
                              And uhh
                              To all the ladies havin babies on they own
                              I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin all alone
                              Daddy's long gone and he left you by ya lonesome
                              Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want em
                              Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
                              And if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more
                              Cause ain't nuttin worse than when your son
                              wants to kno why his daddy don't love him no mo'
                              You can't complain you was dealt this
                              hell of a hand without a man, feelin helpless
                              Because there's too many things for you to deal with
                              Dying inside, but outside you're looking fearless
                              While tears, is rollin down your cheeks
                              Ya steady hopin things don't all down this week
                              Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me

                              And now my son's getten older and older and cold
                              From havin the world on his shoulders
