there was a time when life was dark, and i was in a funk,
car, job, home, romance and school, well eveything
was junk
in desperate need of hope i was, a pick me up, some
play
then we met at the burger stand now its better everyday
Better getting so much better better everyday
sweeter neater more completer, better everyway
Hoping love would come someday, and sweep me off
my feet
and even though it swept me once, I landed in a heap
tired worn out bruised and broke, lying on the ground
you're the one who cared for me and turned my life
around
I could write about it all day long
i have so much to praise
how much you have made my life
brought love back to my days
tho' words often do not come quick
I'll try to say this way
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
and now I'm gonna play
Better getting so much better better everyday
sweeter neater more completer better everyway
here I stand atop the the world, you brig me to this place
peaks and valleys of a life, the pain has been erased
spanning chasms making tracks, burning past the fray
sweeter neater more completer
Better everyday
Can't be forced god knows I've tried
Can't be controlled, cant be denied
I know when it hits, & hope it hits again
Need it, Want it, Have it as a trusted friend
Seed it, plant it, nurture it, let it grow
Have it leading me on, striking out a blow
It's not about the glory that makes a man stand tall
Nor about the self doubt, foreshadowing a fall
Clamoring crowds watch the prophet on the wall
Finding out the measure of the person in us all
Who's our hero now, are we ready for his fight
Where's our hero going walking off into the night
Looking to decipher what is wrong and what is right
Scrapping for answers and exhausting all our might
Truth is fleeting truth is hard
Truth aint found in a random card
Truth is flashing in the stars
How thing were, will be and are
It can't be hid or buried deep
Can't be found entranced in sleep
Yet when it strikes filling sword and pen
Telling words to liberate slave and sin
Need to plant it nurture it, feed it well
Will it be a good seed, only time can tell?
It's not about salvation that saves from the pit
The evil that men do: about all this shit
The roaring of the masses inflating the simple man
But to find a hero who will do the best he can
Who's the hero now, is he doing what is right
Where's the hero going as he heads off in the night?
Sides are being chosen are you ready for the fight?
Defending all our actions and exhausting all our might
Truth is noble truth is good
Truth will lead just as it should
Not to tell even as if it could
Not to show it ever would
Truth is burning in the stars
How things were, will be and are
Beneath his feet the river runs
strong and swift and deep
alll around the cliffs stand tall
rough and sharp and steep
reaching above the earth to never ending sky
off his perch and to the air in the blinking of an eye
I watch him float of drifts of air
admiring his flight
movements of both wind and beast
fall into his sight
carried away in silence
while I watch the sacred scene
he dives i fail to catch a breath
and fall into a dream
its the splendor of observing
an eagle in its flight
its the wonder of gazing
in the heavens late at night
it's the burning in my heart when i know
something is true
it's the way i feel each morning knowing
i'm in love with you
yo'mama says alot of stuff, the lady's always talkin' :
crowing cackling on the roof,
yo mama's always squakin'
she's makin' noise again, always runnin' smack :
trashing me and trashing you she's busting our backs
now most of what yo mama says probably aint true,
tho' when she says "you can't take it back"
...womans' props are due
can't take back all the things you say
or the things you dothe good or bad you pass around
always comes back to you
quit your whining,girl knock that look off o'yo face
remember it was what you said
that got you in this place
don't blame me because your
life is overrun with drama
don't blame anyone in fact,
except maybe yo' mama
yo mama is a crazy bitch who piles it so high
i have to smile when I see yo' mama asking why
just like the playground toys
that spin us round and round
yo' mama makes me dizzy and that woman's brought us down
I'm walking out I'm moving on,
my life can't take more trama
can't stand your lies, your foolish fits and I can't
stand yo MAM
