SILVER SPOON

You were taught to eat with a spoon to soon
Open your mouth to whatever feed to you

Whatever was good to you
To others, it tasted sour
But you thought it gave you power

In school, daddy bought you a passing grade
So no matter what you got to stay
Living with a unconscious mind
Thinking you're the smartest guy
That was just a lie

You look in to the shinny silver spoon
At a upside down image of a fool
Thats is the way the world looks at you

21 DAYS

It has been too many days since I heard from you girl
Too many days since the scent of you filled the room

Photos of you and me on the shelf they just show the passing of time
Still dreaming of you and what life would be like
You're always on my mind

It has been 21 days since I saw you girl
21 days since we made regrets
21 days and I still have not forgotten you yet

In this lonely room, I hide
All my pain and lies
Thinking that is what makes me a man
By your side is what made me truly who I am
I gave it up for foolish pride
Now I sit here and cry

It has been 21 days since I held your hand
21 days since I saw your smile
21 days since I saw that twinkle in your eyes
Your image still lingers in my mind

Love is more than a physical touch
This relationship should never have been started on lust
Love is two hearts beating at the same pace
It should be about the purity of the soul
But these tears leave tracks on my face

It has been 21 days since we embraced
21 days you asked me to stay
I didn't care enough to see your pain
21 days since we said a word
Should have said I love you girl

CHARLIE WOOD

Your pappy made you into a fool
Paying for your grades in school
Making up stories saying there true

Charlie Wood up to no good
Paying everyone to touch and hold his wood
Playing everyone like the joker does his tricks

Wanted all the attention he could get
Thought he would be president
But being president isn't about personal rep

Charlie Wood talking like a fool
Treating everyone like his personal tool
He does not know the meaning of cool

The ignorant blind just follows behind
Can't see between his lies
Clamoring for a crumb of attention that falls from his mouth
Making excuses for his verbal abuses

Charlie Wood up to no good
He just wants you to touch and play with his wood
And cuddle with his misogynistic thoughts

He will pay you to get on your knees
And take it like a fool
Like he knows you can do
He never wanted you

Charlie Wood always up to no good

HURRICANE (LOVE, PEACE and UNITY)

The water is cool
The air is hot
You better be grateful for what you got

A storm is coming
Ready or not
It could all fall on you
All you like will just stop

Loved one washed away in the sand
The cycle of life just moves on
No one to blame the loss
But the creator of man
He never touched this land

The water is cool
The air is hot
Remember this is the only family you got

The clouds are coming
Dark and gray
Find that place to pray
Till the new day

Peace in the heart
Comes around only when your down
Tears as salty as the water of the ocean
Our differences are as wide as that ocean
Why should we try to control them

The water is cool
The air is hot
Open your eyes life is what you got

The rain is coming
What is it we really believe in
Always chasing for physical sin
Why can't that roll away in the wind

Unity coming when the sun rises
Bring on that new life
Dry up the rain with the pain
What more can we say or blame
