#1. This is about just me enjoying the night life with my friends and what happens when we go out

Bright lights, city life, we all out for one thing, and that’s to enjoy the night

Six shots, pure intoxication, all these girls smiling like they want me,

No regrets, just friends we all here living for the weekend..

=====================================================================



This is about a past relationship I never got the chance to actually say how I really felt

#2. Broken

Back and forth, back and forth like a merry go round, things seem to be better, when we arguing and hate each other, should I stay or should I go, final thoughts when tempers flare and emotions got the best of us



Run and tell A.S. I love her and I put no one else above her, hopefully things are better now that we grown apart and seen better years, no more tears..





#3. I meet an amazing girl at the club one night and was doing whatever it took to get to know here and I had some thoughts that I wasn’t bold enough to ask her so I just sat down and wrote them out. I hope she never reads this cuz I would be embarrassed about this



Diamond colored eyes, personality of a queen, I’ll do anything and everything to tell you what you what you mean to me,



A simple smile, added with a soft kiss, but at the end of the day is it really worth the chase, will you still be there when all the smoke clears and the booze wears off,



Will you ever give me the chance to change ya last name, or em I just living in a slightly insane world where things are not as they seem or is this make believe



=====================================================================



#4. The Thought

Memories haunt me like a bad case of a of in-perfected double D’s, what does half the things you say to me mean, another disagreement about who’s doing what, or who’s going where, is there anything heavenly that can compare us, no!!

====================================================================

#5. My city, my city, everyone in my city is so concerned about racks on racks and stacks on stacks. When the youth is being destroyed with nonsense from a broken system who do we look for to shine light on this filthy attention, the streets crawl with vermin form human to Beast anybody else looking for a way out but every sign says dead end

Grey skies and cold air, my city is filled with so much broken dreams and despair

=====================================================================

#6. Money

I love you don’t ever leave me, I’ll do anything to keep you… I used to lay awake at night dreaming of ya touch lusting for ya love, staring in ya green eyes showed me the better things in life, you’ve laid with hustlers and drug dealers, you’ve showed actors and actresses what happens when they mistreat you, taking away all their dreams and fancy homes, the anger I get when I watch you roam, makes me wanna grab the chrome, when I’ve opened up a bank account to keep you safely home

You a material girl living in a material world, when I got on one knee and proposed ya face exploded, I’m barbaric for ya hug, everyone said we look good together like tom cruise and Nicole, when you not around I feel like I have no control, I’ll do anything in this world for ya love, I hate it when others have more of ya attention, the more I get of you builds me up, you always said in god we trust, when I met you at five years old, I prayed for you to be a part of my life, but you been forcing me to use plastic

Ya whoreish way’s drive me insane sleeping with bankers and traders, what must I do to keep you happy, sell my soul for ya love, kill for ya unfaithful love, or steal for ya beautiful touch, this is more than a crush or infatuation, ya soft green skin tone keeps me living comfortable, your nothing but trouble

=====================================================================

#7. Change
Friendships drifting like the wind, not sure exactly how this spin, but we was the best of the best till the end, now all we got is that used to be my friend, I hate how selfish needs interrupted are thing,



Who would have ever thought, we would break apart like a log, drifting along this cold stream, we had the same dreams, same schemes, devilish ways just ask every outsider they would agree  



=====================================================================



#8. Half full/half empty



We met, we talked, you liked and so did I, we agreed to meet every other night,  we don’t talk or kiss, no emotions in any of this because you have his ring, one day it might change, but we met, we talked and we both fell in lust       



=====================================================================

#9. Betrayal



It’s over, it’s over run and tell everyone it’s over, cut from the same cloth born under the same fire, now we at each other’s throats like we two rival teams meeting in the championship finals, loyalty was priceless, but I guess her pretty eyes and nice smile was worth it for you to stick the knife in my back



You sharpened the blade with ya selfish acts, Don’t look for me when you’re in need, for I found that the best things in life wont betray me, thanks for the memories, no hard feelings, who em I kidding, I won’t look out for you,
