Down' For The Good
Don' did it...
Did it and don' with it!
That which 'ain't sittin' on my positive tip!
That which annoys,
And teases my peace...
Doin' that to amuse,
A latent confused release!
Don' did it...
Did it and don' with it!
The BA's with BS's
Who are PHD's in pretense at teas.
I don't need that,
To expose where my comfort lies.
And I 'ain't tryin' to hide it, either...
With cries and false alibis.
Don' did it...
Did it and don' with it!
Every bit of nonsense...
That use to come and sit.
To leave me alone,
Heated in a fit.
Don' did it...
Did it and don' with it.
And now I'm 'down' for the good!

What Are You Doin In My Life?
Well you followed me all around new york city
Tryin to make people think I wanted you with me
I can only hope that they didnt believe you
I can t figure out why I got to deal with you
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask for you
I dont know how you got my telephone number
Probably some jerk try in to put me under
Some friend of a friend of a friend of mine
Baby who you tryin to fool when you tell those lies?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask fo r you
Well this is all a little too much to believe
Youre puttin my name all around in the street
Honey where did you think this was gonna lead?
Baby will you tell me what you want from me?
Well youre the last woman in the world that thrills me
Now you got my girlfriend tryin to kill me
Honey my friends think that Ive gone crazy
Cant you figure out that you aint my baby
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask for you

Little Cowboys Cry
(monte thomas)
Theres a little boy on his knees beside his bed
With a cowboy hat upon his bowed head
Tryin to keep the tears in his eyes
And his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
He says God forgive me please
I didnt want my daddy to leave
And I promise to be good this time
But his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
Theres another heart in pain outside his door
His momma heard him cry as she walked the floor
Her love for his daddy has died
And her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
As her cowboy cries
She says God forgive me please
I know I made him leave
But the pain will go away in time
But her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
In a smoky little bar way downtown
His daddy is drinkin whiskey down
Tryin to kill the pain he feels inside
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
And his cowboy cries
He says God forgive me please
I know I had to leave
Things havent been good for a long, long time
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries

Sittin On Top Of The World
Never seen a sky so blue
Never been happy with anyone

I'm Doin My Best
Single six months yesterday
Thought I oughta celebrate
So I went down to grab a couple beers
And I got so drunk I ripped my pants
I asked the bouncer for a dance
I thanked him as he threw me out
I woke up at a Waffle House
With a shiner and a wild brunette
She don?t know my real name yet
Well no I ain?t over you
But I?m doin? my best
Every day and every night
Hangin? on by a thread
That?s stretched just a little too tight
If I can?t find some peace of mind
I?ll take what I can get
I ain?t doin? much good
But I?m doin? my best
I decided I?d get smart
And have a long talk with my heart
At some quiet spot outside of town
So I took my best friend?s Pontiac
I drove it like a maniac
Right into the reservoir
I guess we ain?t best friends no more
Just my luck a cop came by
Who I beat up in junior high
He said I better have a good excuse
I said I?m doin? my best
Every day and every night
Hangin? on by a thread
That?s stretched just a little too tight
If I can?t find some peace of mind
I?ll take what I can get
I ain?t doin? much good
But I?m doin? my best
Some day I just might join the human race again
If I can ever find a place to show my face again
Yeah I'm doin' my best
I said I?m doin? my best
Every day and every night
Hangin? on by a thread
That?s stretched just a little too tight
If I can?t find some peace of mind
I?ll take what I can get
I ain?t doin? much good
But I?m doin? my best
I'm doin' my best
I'm doin' my best

Wealth of Self
Observation is the key,
To remedy upsetting emotions.
Bother not to wait for comfort,
When forthcoming is regret!
Do not sit in bitterness that teases...
What comes to please,
Will be a release!
And freedom from a burden...
Held as if befriended,
Dissipates from a patience one has kept.
To reveal in discovery a wealth of self,
With a peace of mind one has finally met...
To undo these tests we let others inject!

Man With Two Hearts
Like a man who has two hearts
Both of them worlds apart
Both of them play their part you know
Like a man who has two wives
His life the becomes alibis
Nobody asks him why you know
Can there be peace
Between the heart and the brain?
No release always the same
I wont come here again
Like a man who has one hand
Still he does what he can
Shows he is twice the man you are
Are we just beasts
With our burdens of pain
No release always the same
Cut off my legs
Torture and maim
Im back here again
Like a man who has two hearts
One day they fell apart
Both of them played their part you know
Can there be peace
Between the heart and the brain
No release to try is in vain
Stories repeat always the same
I wont come here again.

Man In Me
Theres a man in me whos lost his way
And he searches for his pride
Hes confused by who hes told to be
cause he feels the beast inside
He is troubled by the changing times
And he fears his dreams have died
Theres a man thats waited
Hoping to be liberated
Theres a man in me who
I wanna save
Revive his dignity
Free from his cage
And release the man in me who
Cries for the day
He will be let out
And show us the way
I believe theres a man in me
I have lived inside my mothers eyes
I have felt my fathers heart
I am torn between the dark and light
But I wont be torn apart
cause theres a man in me whos unafraid
Who only now can feel his rage
Hes been taught to hide it
But he can no longer fight it
Theres a man in me who
I wanna save
Revive his dignity
Free from his cage
And release the man in me who
Cries for the day
He will be let out
And show us the way
I believe theres a man in me
Here we are
I didnt think wed get this far
We were overdue
When its time
To understand the man
Then I can love
The woman in you
Theres a man thats waited
Hoping to be liberated
Theres a man in me who
I wanna save
Revive his dignity
Free from his cage
And release the man in me who
Cries for the day
He will be let out
And show us the way
I believe theres a man in me

The Moon Has Tears
The moon cries from stupid lies,
Foul moons deeply feel sorry
For their tears and worn truths,
Such as what accumulates on the beach.
The sea is dear, expensive, wild,
And full of mischief, all because of you
And silver moons.
Move merriment into the soul of delight
As movement teases us, teases us whole.
May godly scholars provoke crime
On the outward sky, controlling and responding
Like something to be judged.

Negatively Positive Me
It's a positive that I'm alone with death
by birth we befriended, best friends til life's end
Negatively positive
I'm a positive in a negative mind
an environment refund living like a rebound
never wanted yet not discarded
happiness unconditional, so is my loneliness
suicidal mind's eye in tune to suicide's lies,
wise to the blind side
a smile for my hurt, a tear for my joy
food to fuel the life, hugs to pain's comfort
negatively positive as
I'm a positive in my negative mind

Communication
An introduction to a rapid ray
Will explode like grenade
Check the medical aid
cause the way that we parade the fade
Any mc that claims that they can be
Tend the mic when we strike precisely
We freak the level with the funk from the inner
Heaven, give me inner, black as I present a
Flock a rhyme that rock you off an ass
Powerful, power flows thatll leave your soul paralyzed
Yo, I respect that you be g-in (...in)
Its the return of mc-in (...in)
Yo, thank God for the season (...on)
And dont be tryin to think about a reason
cause there is no reason for you to front
We create cuts to give you what you want
Activate communication for the whole
Shocking your mind with rhymes
Doin it like what ap (like this here)
Rockin it like what ap (like this here)
Flippin it like what ap (like this here)
Doin it like what ap (like this here, yeah)
We do it upside down (8x)
Can I get a ha from my brothers that be chillin downtown
Ho for the people that be in it what we do
Yo check it out cause we black and positive
I suck in negative from you
I got many rhymes format from the back of the brain
Interluding with the powerful matter scatter your frame
You fallin (yo) check out what we do
We be all in on the microphone never stallin
Rhythm is my ride for the voyage of the mind
Exclusive rhyme patting us for what we design
I am my own picasso when I roll
Rhyming is my art for my heart and soul
We positive when mc-in (...in)
Break bounce with the new blend (...end)

They fell off at the attempt to elevate
They try to duplicate the art we create

Shockin em like what will (like this here)

We goin worldwide, across the nation
Now that weve activated our communication
Wantin demonstration, ask the activator
Before one more walk-a-meter, funky motivator
And I be the will, apl from the phil
We contain the hipnotical skill thatll kill
You dealin with the g-r-e-a-t
Black eyed peas guy, hella in a g

Applyin to the beat that alligator you combine
With me and my crew incredibly and super spectacular
With the rhyme one two

With this sounds activate online
And Im on time to motivate your mind

Don't Say Goodbye
Don't say, goodbye!
Or sigh up alibis...
To leave me miffed,
And teary eyed.
'Cause,
You've got my heart.
You've got my mind.
Emotionally...
There is no peace I can find!
'Cause,
Most of the time,
I feel entrapped and confined.
Without a bit of self defense.
None that comes that makes to me any sense.
'Cause,
I had believed...
You were as happy as me.
But I see you desire to leave,
Me hurting deeply and permanently!
Don't say,
Goodbye!
Don't patronize me with lies sighed!
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
And I can't believe all you did was deceive.
You're dirt and not worth it.
Not even to curse.
But...
Don't say, goodbye!
Or sigh up alibis...
To leave me miffed,
And teary eyed.
'Cause,
You've got my heart.
You've got my mind.
Emotionally...
There is no peace I can find!
You're dirt and not worth it.

True Lies
Where do you go after midnight
When all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just dont sound right
I asked but nobody knows
How can you look in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
Someones been sleepin in my bed
This room dont smell like you and me
Whos that been sneakin out the window
Do you think Im too blind to see
When you look me in the eyes
And, make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, Im gettin wise
To your true lies
You been doin this so long now
Youre thinkin its the truth
I guess it dont seem so wrong if it
Aint bein done to you
Gotta lot to learn, baby,
You can keep it down
Word gets in the wind
Then its bound to blow back around
Girl, can you give me a reason
Bet you dont even know why
Cant figure out what youre thinkin
Or what it is youre tryin to justify
When you look me in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, Im gettin wise
To your true lies
You can laugh, you can cry
But, girl, I just cant buy
Those true lies

During these economic times.

Tryin' to maintain and ignore the pain.
And ain't tryin' to focus on what I ain't got.
But diggin' on what I have.
And glad about it.'

Doing what it is they gotta do.
And some folks may not wish to show their fears.
Knowing how to take life as it is.
Those 'down' with the hustle...
Ain't confused!
They're not the twisted megamix.
The ones who lived life tricked and slick.
And pushing high rised wishes to the top.
Or condo lounging liquor fiends...
Demeaning those whose luxuries have stopped.
Or repossessed by their request.~

Sittin On Top Of The World
1. was in the summer,
One early fall,
Just tryin to find my
Little all and all
Now shes gone,
An I dont worry.
Lord, Im sittin on top of the world.
2. was in the spring,
One summers day.
Just when she left me,
She gone to stay.
Now shes gone.
An I dont worry.
Lord, Im sittin on top of the world.
3. now dont come runnin
Holdin up your hand.
Can get me a woman
Quick as you can get a man.
Now shes gone.
An I dont worry.
Lord, Im sittin on top of the world.
4. happen for days,
Didnt know your name.
Oh, why should I worry
Or crave you in vain?
Now shes gone.
An I dont worry.
Lord, Im sittin on top of the world.
5. went to the station,
Down in the yard,
Gonna get me a freight train,
Works done got hard.
Now shes gone.
An I dont worry.
Lord, Im sittin on top of the world.
6. the lonesome days,
They have gone by,
Why should I beg you?
You said good-bye.
Now shes gone.
An I dont worry.
Lord, Im sittin on top of the world.
