Under the leadership of this President, the state of the union is not strong. We are being pulled apart rather than pulling together. Our democracy is suffering from the choices being made, and yet we are offered the same tired excuses and unrealistic analyses.

Making Those Choices To Do
Choices made are just the beginning,
For other choices to make.
Leaving an appetite to develop,
In a patience where choices sit to marinate
Procrastinating in hesitation,
Makes for the creating of excuses...
Easier to get nothing done to wait.
Like one who wishes for a taste of cake.
However, making those choices to do...
Does remove those excuses made done,
With no follow through.
And pursued as one's destination that comes.

Pulled Up
Mommy, daddy, come and look at me now
Im a big man in a great big town
Years ago who would believe its true
Goes to show what a little faith can do
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
You pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled,
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled,
You pulled me up pull me up pull me up...
Pulled me up up up up up up up up
I drift away to another land
Sleeping dreaming such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my name go down in history
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so string now cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up
I slipped, and I got pulled,
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
You pulled me up
I tripped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled
You pulled me up! pulled me up up, pulled me up...
Pulled me up up up up up up up up
I got up
cause you pulled me up
I stood up
cause you pulled me up
I got up
And that was because you pulled me up
I got up
In a little while you pulled me up
Pull me up up up up, up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
I cast a shadow on the living-room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
Theres really no hurry Ill eat in a while
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
You pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I slipped,
And then you pulled, you pulled me up!
Pull me up...pull me up...watch out!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!

Surrounded by all of his killing men.

If Ralph Nader runs, President Bush is going to be re-elected, and if Ralph Nader doesn't run, President Bush is going to be re-elected. We're going to run on the president's strong and principled leadership and his positive agenda for a second term.

In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To lead a President must persuade. Personal contacts and experiences help shape his thinking. They can be critical to his persuasiveness and thus to his leadership.

Words May Be Less
I have longed for your association
Dreamed about long stay with relation
It was you who made me smile
Otherwise it was hell for a while
I can't forget that lovely moment
When almighty had certainly sent
A chance to make strong union with bond
I opted for it and was very much fond
I have longed for your association
Dreamed about long stay with relation
It was you who made me smile
Otherwise it was hell for a while
I can't forget that lovely moment
When almighty had certainly sent
A chance to made strong union and bond
I opted for it and was very much fond
What will I choose if offered?
Never a thought to be differed
He is all for me in future journey
With clear blessings from almighty
Females may always want to settle
In life at later stage to feel well
Not to worry and face no troubles
As life is full of struggle
Some gentle whisper do magic in ears
As if moving on wider horizon with no fears
It is extreme zenith and peak
Where words may be less to speak

Life is maze
Life path is made of a net work;
One makes a choice at each fork.
Forks are frequent; so are choices.
Some are vital, some trivial.
Choices are made impulsively;
Choices are made instantly;
Choices are made by habit,
Experience, knowledge and faith.
Between pain and pleasure,
Between hedonism and virtues
And between power and possession,
Everyone’s life oscillates.
It is nothing but a sea saw.
Not every choice would click,
However best it appeared.
Your progress is not sure.
Life is maze not made by you.
The success and the failure
Are incidental and accidental.
No choice other than making choice.

Definitely (am) marking the new e (g) ra, keeping trinidad in ameri (c) ca
For this great man jubilation, was evinced by the entire population
Friendship for the u.s.a. was shown and from his house to stars and the stripes were flown
For the state to open the gate to the president of these united states
In fact everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to trinidad
We are privileged to see the democratic president of the great republic
With his charming and genial personality and his wonderful urbanity
We were struck by his modest style and we were intrigued by the famous roosevelt smile
No wonder why everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to trinidad
Now we understand that the president has just been on a visit to brazil and the argentine
Mr. cordell hull in attendance they took part in a peace conference
To stop war and atrocity and make the world safe for democracy
The greatest event in the century in the interest of suffering humanity

No More Love (feat. Iru Gotti)
Oh, oh, no
A thousand excuses from you, boy, Ive had enough
And I just want you to stop [Murder, Inc.]
No more love
What you b****es want from a n****
Jumpin in the truck thats rimmed out with a Boss
with bucks
But my minds on my figures
Cause once I give you a nut, you get the cut once I
toss you up
Huh, your name who, whatever, Im Gotti
A made n**** with killers and big bodies
All I got for a trick is the slum
I could make a b**** rich from a song
I dont appreciate the way that youve been actin
lately
I cant believe that you would turn around and try to
play me
I know about that chick you met last night at club
Nikkis
And then you had the nerve to come home late and try
to sex me
Oh, oh, no (Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no)
A thousand excuses from you, boy, Ive had enough (Oh,
Ive had enough)
And I just want you to stop (Baby)
No more love
I know it hurt me when you said, "The next time Ill
be leavin"
You think your game is so tight, you wouldnt get
caught out there creepin
Im not your freak, dont play me cheap, Im tellin
you its over
And when you see me on the streets, dont speak to me,
its over
Oh, oh, no (Oh, no, oh, no, no, oh)
A thousand excuses from you, boy, Ive had enough (Oh,
Ive had enough, yeah, yeah)
And I just want you to stop (Baby)
No more love
All my ladies say {F*** you, Gotti}
F*** yall too
Im tired of lyin, Im tired of denyin
Im tired of trying, Im tired of the games
And I aint playin, yall know what Im sayin
If yall buyin, man, Im lyin
Every single word, man, this is true
And what Ill do to you, what Ill do to you
Ill run through you,
