You Just One Lucky Dude

Hardships.
Pain and sorrow.
Discipline, sacrifice.
Loneliness and isolation.

Holding on to have a dream,
Realized as wished.
With no guarantee of its final appearance,
Is what it takes with commitment to succeed.

'I understand what others may have done.
But what formula did you use,
To make your success achieved...
So easy.'

I sat back and procrastinated.
And did nothing everyday,
But bragged about what I would do...
IF I had the opportunity.

'I knew it.
That's what I've been telling everybody.
You aint better than nobody else.
Except you just one lucky dude.'

And blessed.

'Whatever.'

It Isn't With Ease

It isn't with ease,
A success accomplished is achieved.
Nor is one 'lucky'...
To experience with initiative AND sacrifice,
With a doing what one does...
Day and night.
And continue to do,
Whatever it takes for most of one's life.

While witnessing others doing what they like...
To then decide they have changed appetites,
For something someone else has done.
With beliefs their requests should be prioritized,
By the one who has sacrificed most of their life...
To finally see after years realized.
It isn't with ease,
A success accomplished is achieved.

'How long did it take you to do what you've done? '

~I would say...
Maybe fifty or more years.~

'Seriously?
And you can't show me,
In a few minutes how you did it?
I aint got that kind of time to waste.'

~Time, patience and tears.
And criticism from peers.
That's what it takes,
My friend.~

'Well...
Like I said.
I aint got time for all that.
I gotta get my groove on.'

~Until it's gone,
Huh? ~

'Whatever.'

Overnight They Want The 'Info

Overnight they want the 'secret',
From one they have seen has achieved.
Overnight they want the 'info'...
As if what has been done,
Will make it easy for them to succeed.

Isn't that always the case?
Someone labors years alone,
Dedicated and toiling through heartaches.
Applies devotion when jokes are thrown.
Then 'suddenly' the one that is mocked,
Establishes a name...
And becomes well known.

Overnight they want the 'secret',
From one they have seen has achieved.
Overnight they want the 'info'...
As if what has been done,
Will make it easy for them to succeed.

Isn't that always the case?
People will sit back and procrastinate.
Exaggerating what it is they 'wish' to do.
But doing 'nothing' on a daily basis...
Yet spend time critiquing with attitude.

Then time slips from them through their hands,
And when this is realized...
They then want to take a stand.
Wishing from someone,
To show them how things are done.
But absent of patience to listen to anyone!

Overnight they want the 'secret',
From one they have seen has achieved.
Overnight they want the 'info'...
As if what has been done,
Will make it easy for them to succeed.

Luck Has Nothing To Do With What Has Been Achieved

Sacrifice, initiative, motivation, discipline...
Self esteem, belief, faith and consistency,
With a persistence to get done and do!
Are you listening to me?

Success has more than one avenue,
One can take to reach it.
But if commitment isn't attached,
With a plan to match...
Some folks will never know,
How it feels...
To touch a dream that comes to life.

And when one has spent many sleepless nights,
In pain and 'still' applies emotions felt to accomplish...
With a focused devotion no one witnesses to see to believe,
Luck has nothing to do with what has been achieved!

Lucky

Scared and lonely
Going out for the night
Shakin all over
And wishing Id never
Come here
He pulled up in a cloud of smoke
So much was said
But nobody spoke a word
So I took a chance
And he followed me home
I knew he wouldnt beg
So I gave in without fighting
Been so long since Ive been this way
Since I loved this way
So I asked him if he would stay for a while
Lucky comes easy
Luckys not shy
And if youre lucky
Youll go for a ride
For a ride
We talked a while
And he told me nice
We laughed and we cried and
I knew that I could love him
He got up to say goodbye
I said where you going,
He said that he must leave
Lucky comes easy
Luckys not shy
And if youre lucky
Youll go for a ride
For a ride
Lucky comes easy
Luckys not shy
And if youre lucky
Youll go for a ride
For a ride
Lucky takes you out for a ride
For a ride
Lucky takes you out for a ride
For a ride
Lucky comes easy
Luckys not shy
And if youre lucky
Youll go for a ride
Lucky come easy
Luckys not shy
And if youre lucky
Youll go for a ride
For a ride

I Aint Been Licked

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Roll down the gangway
So theyll see that its me
I know theyll wonder about my recovery
Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness
What my heart wouldnt accept
Put me to the test
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
They cant make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell em Im back again
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
Like outa nowhere my whole world fell apart
Till this day no one knows
What I felt in my heart
All those precious things
Inside me tried to still
Hands I thought would help
Pushed me over the hill
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes, it can be done
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
They cant make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell em Im back again
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Just to start again
Rise
Show em that I can
Rise
Found a brand new dream
Rise
Just to prove one thing
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
I want the world to see
I aint been licked
Although my love is gone
I aint been licked
Somehow I carry one
I aint been licked
Ill find the strength somehow
I aint been licked
I think Im ready now
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked

Some People Are Just Lucky

What, if anything, in a tomorrow wished,
Is guaranteed?
If the ability to experience the 'now' today,
Is an activity done that can be achieved.
Besides procrastination?
And many daily do that AND succeed.

Too often it is heard by some,
What they can not do...
Because there is no time to find.
Or funds to wine and dine themselves!
As if in a 'tomorrow'...
A lottery win will come to change their minds.

However,
Explain this to me...
What, if anything, in a tomorrow wished,
Is guaranteed?
If the ability to experience the 'now' today,
Is an activity done that can be achieved.
Besides procrastination?
And many daily do that AND succeed.

And why do those who seem to be in sacrificial mode,
Are always considered the ones who are lucky...
When working hard all their lives,
Creating their own opportunities.

'I never see those folks out socializing anywhere.
And they always look tired and haggard! '

~I wonder why? ~

'Maybe they stay home laying on the couch.
Watching too much TV? '

~That's what I do.
I don't look like that.
In fact, the doctor told me I was getting fat.
And I know I keep active.~

'Yeah,
Some people are just lucky.'

Why? ? ?

Am I a looser who just don't wanna accept or i am afraid to confess?
why everyone out in the world is waiting eagerly for me so that they can suggest.
why everyone pretends that i am someone who have made out her life a mess.
why if something couldn't be achieved..all the previous acheivements have become useless.
why if the final short is missed all the previous victories have been dismissed.
why someone else's success seems to have joined hands with my failures to make fun of me.
why the absence os success overshadred all the flavours of life which were passionately required just few days back?
why someone else's success forces you to live his life even for a short while..
why i can't resist even when i know this will make the pain persist.
why a single miss makes meaningless all your previous hits.
why we forget all the kisses of success if we get a single kick.
why is it easy to suggest and difficult to follow.
why are we always ready to welcome success and failures allways knock when we are short of prep?
why its always the pain which we resist and it persist.
why me? ? ? this is the question we always want to b answered by pain and always forget when we get a chance to welcome the fame of success game....
why the success is something which we always deserve and failure is always when our badluck plays its role? ?
WHY? ? ?

That Mindset Remains With Them

As soon as they realized pay was involved,
For something they deemed easy...
Everybody and their mamas wanted in on the act.
And that mindset remains with them to this very day.

People wish to get paid for expressing interest.
However...
Working towards a goal to pursue experience,
With discipline and devotion is not seen on TV.

Therefore...
Expectations are high,
That someone should handover to them...
Fame, fortune and notoriety.
Or...
A job doing 'nothing' that can be bragged about!

Lucky Ones

Don't ask me how, but guess who hit the big time
Don't look now but guess whose back in town
It's so easy don't even have to try
Your the winner you can take the prize
It's a dream come true which one will it be
It's a dream come true we'll just wait and see
Only the lucky one's get to steal the show
Only the lucky one's really get to know
Only the lucky, Only the lucky one's get Lucky
Same old story something never change
With a beautiful girl everythings rearranged
Your whole life it comes to you for free
You wear it well it comes so naturally
It's a dream come true which one will it be
It's a dream come true we'll just wait and see
Only the lucky one's get to steal the show
Only the lucky one's really get to know
Only the lucky, Only the lucky one's

Don't ask me how, but guess who hit the big time
Don't look now but guess whose back in town

Youre the winner you can take the prize

Only the lucky one's really get to know
Only the lucky, Only the lucky one's

Girls It Aint Easy

(ronald dunbar / edith wayne)
Yeah, it aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the one you love by your side
A womans work is never done
Never stops, it goes on and on
You work your fingers to the bone
You gotta be home every time he phones
Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best aint good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the one you love by your side
To keep him happy
You must sacrifice
Be ready and willing
To spend lonely nights
Do what you can
Though he seems ungrateful
Love him so true
Even though he seems unfaithful
But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
Thats when hell say
He needs you around
Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It aint easy, no
Oh, yeah, it aint easy
Girls it aint easy
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
You got to favour him with understanding
When understanding is what he needs
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret
But when theyre in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, yeah, ooh
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, no

Dump The Dude

Hey girl, I wanna give you some friendly advice
Hes got you cryin, oh hes done it again
Hes made a date and he didnt show
You know hes done this to you so many times
When you gonna let him go
He doesnt treat you little a lover should
He could be so downright cruel
Cant understand why youre hangin with him
Girl, dont you be a fool
Go on and dump the dude
You know hes got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin mood
Take my advice, dont you think twice
Listen to what Im telling you
Go on and dump the dude
You know that weve been friends for so many years
And Ive never ever seen you this way
So torn apart, how he gets to your heart
With all the little games that he plays
Just give him up, get him out of your life
Promise me that once and for all
Youre gonna tell him that its over and done
The very next time he calls, aint you now
Dump the dude
You know hes got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin mood
Take my advice, find somebody nice
Listen to what Im telling you
Go on and dump the dude
Girl, I know you may think this is none of my business
But the fact that were friends I believe that makes it my business
I care about you but I aint preachin
I think you should dump the dude
I dont know why youd want to settle for less
When you could have so much more
You know that you deserve only the best
So what are you waiting for?
Go on and dump the dude
You know hes got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin mood
Take my advice, dont you think twice
Find yourself somebody nice
Go on and dump the dude

Back n Blue

Every night
Caught up on the same old dream
I hear your broken heart
Crumbling down and haunting me
And everyday
Try to tell myself it aint so hard
But then I hear your name
And it feels like a grip around my heart
till I change the way you feel
till I change the world
So help me girl
Ill show you wounds can heal
Chorus
* tell ya what Im gonna do
Ill be comin back for you
Ill move the mountains
Part the sea
Anything for you
Ill be back n blue
Back n blue
Forget that girl
She could never take your place
Its hard enough
When you look at me that way
I know I was caught red-handed
I wouldnt blame you if you twist the knife
I swear Ive come to my senses
Tell me what to do
Anyday Ill make it right
Ive got to change the way you feel
If I have to Ill change the world
So help me girl
Ill beg borrow and steal
If thats what it takes
* repeat
Back n blue
Back n blue
Back n blue
Back n blue
At t-till make you believe me
Im prepared to make any sacrifice
The shadow of our love keeps gettin bigger
Without your love Ill sure die
Chorus
Tell you what Im gonna do
I keep comin back for you
Ill move the mountains
Part the sea
Anything for you
Ill be back n blue back n blue
Back n blue
So help me girl
Beg borrow and steal
If thats what it takes
Ill be back n blue back n blue
Im prepared to make any sacrifice
Back n blue
Back n blue
So help me girl

My Dream Come True Just Turned Out To Be A Dream

Had Many Dreams
of Course you and I.
But my Dream Come True,
Just turned out to be a dream.

Badly did I want it to come true..
But it is really true,
True that
My Dream Come True,
Just turned out to be a dream.

We Dreamt of it Each Night,
Thought of it Each Day
My Dream Come True,
Just turned out to be a dream.

We Bickered With it all day
Through out our ways
But we still remained,
Remained unaware that
The Dream Come True,
Will just turn out to be a Dream.

We imagined us there
But we truly couldn't bear,
Bare that
Our Dream Come True,
Will just turned out to be a dream.

Up the Mountains,
Did we wish to go...
To the land of streams and snow
Did we wish to go…
But we didn't ever know,
Know that,
We'd sacrifice a soul…
Give it up as a whole

I wished we hadn't done that
So did all…
But we never ever knew
That the pass to enter the mounts,
Was to sacrifice a soul....

Mountains and rivulets,
Kept beckoning us…
The days faded away...
And at last
Towards them we made our Sway!

We called ourselves lucky,
Without knowing we weren't.
We Beamed with Pride
Over flowed with Joy.
But we stilled remained Unaware
That we'd sacrifice a soul.
And
Our Dream Come True,
Will just turn out to be a dream.

UP the divine land,
We were to be.
But couldn't we ever think,
Think one of us would reach Far Above
And Above to the Heaven.

We didn't imagine
She'd fly without us
FLY SO HIGH
High to the Heaven.
To make our dream come true
Just turn out to become a dream
And just a Dream

Mourning her removal from the Earth
Praying for her Placement in the Heaven,
We slid down the Mountains…
Being one less
One less than how many arrived

Our Dream Come true
JUST Turned out to be a DREAM!

It is Really True,
True That
Our Dream Come True,
Just turned out to be a dream.
A Dream Unforgettable…

It Aint Easy

You make it all sound easy
Now youve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That youd found another man
But its hard to see
What you want from me
Its not easy to be in-between
Its now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
cause it aint what youve got
In the palm of your hand
And its not what youll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday mornings waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Dont keep the pages clean
Baby, now youve got this chance
Dont leave me out
Its so hard when
Youre in-between
What you need and
What may never be
It aint easy ...

It Aint Easy When You Fall

(ian hunter)
You used to float just like a boat upon the tide
You used to run when things were done you used to hide
You talk of ships you talk of boats you talk of games
And now youre down you aint around its such a shame
Cause you got something to give
Something to hold onto
Why dont you live
And you just forget about fixing up fate
Maybe youd stop pick yourself up
Now its too late oh
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
No it aint no good at all
You didnt know this world aint slow you gotta move
You made no sound I watched you drown I watched you loose
Your loneliness you knew it best but its a drag
Cause in the end I lost a friend I feel so sad
Cause you had something to give
Something to hold onto
Why did you live
If you just forgot about fixing up fate
Youd be here youd be near
Now its too late oh
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
No it aint no good at all
Oh-oh hey
It aint easy when you fall

Isolation

In fear every day, every evening,
He calls her aloud from above,
Carefully watched for a reason,
Painstaking devotion and love,
Surrendered to self preservation,
From others who care for themselves.
A blindness that touches perfection,
But hurts just like anything else.
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
Mother I tried please believe me,
I'm doing the best that I can.
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through,
I'm ashamed of the person I am.
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
But if you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize
Isolation, isolation, Isolation, isolation, isolation.

Treat It As Casual

What waits in store for any individual?
We don’t take it seriously and treat as casual
We have all the limitations and no freedom to act
This proves handicap to all kind of progress in fact

Some where you are bogged down either by ill fate
Or by the scarcity of funds or coming on scene very late
You are not fully within the control of the situation
This mark slow down of your march in continuation

How the to come out of uncertainty and surge ahead
Take full control of the situation and provide the lead
Show to the world that you are in position to deliver
You are strong supporter and firm believer

The key to your success is firm commitment
There is progress all around and positive movement
You are not influenced by any out side factor
This paves way for your emergence as clear victor

Until you become master of your own destiny
You can’t be respected in high esteem by many
You will have to prove your ability and resolve
That you are capable and in position to solve

No one can guarantee for full success
Even if he is blessed with situation and full access
Some of the factors are beyond his control
And that takes him out of scene with heavy toll

We are human beings and need some kind of grace
In grim situation we are puzzled and unable to face
In such situation we need strong moral support
Nothing can achieved in absence even if put in lots of efforts

Barring few of such handicaps man can claim highest peak
No cone can stop him from doing so even if he is weak
As wind is favorable and all factors work on his side
Everything is added to his success as area has become very wide

It is easy to dream about lovely shore
Land there safely with lot more to explore
This can only be possible when you are clear
About your ambition, mission and that too without fear

You can be up against ante and sail through
The passage may not smooth that is also true
Yet you are determined to avail an opportunity
And that proves as tremendous boost with high quality

You can now claim as person of high repute
You have good name, fame and nothing to dispute
Fortune has swung in your favor and speaks of great volume
You can relax now in life in leisure and at free will can resume

Something With Expertise They Do

Many...
Keep their wishes and dreams...
As a matter of a focus kept.
In perspective and nourished.
With an unrelenting drive...
Applying discipline that they pride.
And most times without rest.

For anyone 'assuming'...
Sacrifice can be set aside,
Until one decides how much time is given...
To succeed with the achieving of success,
Should listen to those suggestions...
One with this disposition frequently gets.

With a going back to sleep!
Something with expertise they do.
And without question performed and done,
At their very best!

Holding Onto A Discipline

I regard the making of an effort,
With actual attempts to do my best...
As my greatest achievement.
Compared to the many experiences I've had.

Holding onto a discipline,
And devoted to it isn't as simple as it seems.
I've learned the bigger the dream wished,
The more unnoticed to others is one's sacrifice.

And if the acquiring of money and things,
Is not associated to one's produced dreams...
One's achievement is not validated.
Although a life lived in a superficial existence is.
