Where does the time go
Life is moving very fast
Im not ready to face what the world has for me
I play around and dont take life serious
I may not graduate
I have to understand that life comes around once
I think I have all the time in the world
But I dont
The months are leaving me
I wish I had more time
Too late for that

Dont Play Me
Dont play me
Im over 30 & I dont smoke weed
I put my ass away & music Ive played
Aint the type of stereo ure tryin to feed
Dont play me
Dont play me
I use proper english & Im straight
Im in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda u prop in my way
Dont play me
Dont play me
Ive been to the mountain top & it aint what u say
Dont play me
Dont play me
Im the wrong color & I play guitar
My only competition is well in the past
Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast
Dont play me
U couldnt play enough of me now
2 make me feel like a star
Dont play me I already do in my car
Dont play me
Dont be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how u call us niggers aint the same
Its all good when u know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God & the joy u get to say his name
Dont play me
Dont play me
Ive seen to the mountain top & it aint what u say
Dont play me
Already got laid

We Live So Fast
Please dont ask me to stay
Im leaving this town
Dont worry now
Believe me as I believe that
Luck is on my side
The future is mine
If I can find
A way through these strange days of my life
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen
The streets deserted and cold
Theyre not paved with gold
But I dont care
For those who think young will still survive
Making their move
Hoping to prove
That they can face
This big city, small world, big time
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen
But now I know their ways
I found my place
Saw their true face
Theres nothing to stay for so Ill go
Ill pick up the phone
Still searching for home
We life so fast
Alone but not lonely I move on
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen

Its Only Life
Hey, do you know whats going on
Do you?
Come on, play it! wooh!
Are you awake?
Have you anything to say?
Are you aware of what surrounds you?
And all the times you tried to please everyone
Can you admit it doesnt matter?
Ooh theres never a dull moment in my life
And I dont mind the ride
I dont mind the ride, yes
So listen
Dont live a lifeless life
When you could be living it right
Dont be one to be led (ahah)
Its a heavy world in my small world
Get up get out of bed
Ooh theres never a dull moment in my life
And I dont mind the ride
Chorus:
Dont you know its only life
Its only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Dont you know that its only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever youre doing
However youre doing it
Youll be living your life
Yes its only life
So there is no wrong, no right
Ooh its a constant flight
A constant flight
Movin on...
Are you awake?
I dont think I have the answer
Is there no one on the other line?
No
Now its a heavy world in my small world
But Im feeling just fine
Ooh theres never a still moment in my life
And I dont mind the ride
(chorus)
Life
Dont you know
Crying
Its only life, its only life
Dont you know
Crying
Its only life, its only life
Im crying
(ah) (whooh)
Dont you know its only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Dont you know that its only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever youre doin
However youre doing it
Youll be living your life
Dont you know its only life
And everyone pushes to get by
We go here
Were going there
Somebody tell me why
Dont you know that its only life
There is no wrong
There could be no right
Whatever youre doing
However youre doing
Youll be living your life
Dont you know its only life
Dont you know its only life...
Dont you know
Dont you know its only life

Take One More Chance
Ooh, I dont understand,
In this crazy world we live in,
Just look around, is it true?
No one gives a damn.
Trapped in a world of illusion,
Is it too late for us, ooh?
Baby, well never know why were stranded here,
Lost in this crowded room,
I noticed you the minute you came into view.
But youre so hard to me,
Oh, why do I care for you so?
I never ever doubt, my love,
The time is oh so right for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
I dont understand,
Been avoiding me all evening.
Each time I looked you just dance,
Again on the floor.
Like life itself had no meaning.
If I could touch you,
But oohooh, deep in my heart I know,
Theres a destiny,
Through all this sadness I see.
Its not too late to change, my love,
Tonight the stars are made for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more chance, this is the last dance.

Arthur
Arthur was born just a plain simple man
In a plain simple working class position
Though the world was hard and its ways were set
He was young and he had so much ambition
All the way he was overtaken
By the people who make the big decisions
But he tried and he tried for a better life
And a way to improve his own condition
If only life were easy it would be such fun
Things would be more equal and be plenty for everyone
Arthur the worlds gone and passed you by
Dont you know it, dont you know it
You can cry, cry all night but it wont make it right
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
Arthur we know and we sympathize
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
Arthur we like you and want to help you
Somebody loves you dont you know it
How is your life and your shangri-la
And your long lost land of hallelujah
And your hope and glory has passed you by
Cant you see what the world is doing to ya
And now we see your children
Sailing off in the setting sun
To a new horizon
Where theres plenty for everyone
Arthur, could be
That the world was wrong
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
Arthur, could be
You were right all along
Dont ya know it, I hope ya know it
Now we know and we sympathize
Wed like to help you and understand you
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
Somebody loves you, dont ya know it
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
Arthur the worlds gone and passed you by
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
You can cry, cry all night
But it wont make it right
Dont ya know it, dont ya know it
Arthur we read you and understand you
Arthur we like you and want to help you
Oh! we love you and want to help you

eventually instead of always running away from it
you just have to ease your way threw it.
when you realize you can the world don't give up.
keep moving forward.

then im going to go to college and graduate from there in 2016

so all you need to do is get your poetry published.
i deserve thee very best in life
and i will not settle for anything less.

Graduation
In couple months I will graduate from high school
I'm so excited and anixety
First, I have to get through this couple months and
Do everything I need to do
We are leaving behind good and bad memories
Is another chapter in your life
Time to start new one in college or whereever you go
Years in school fly so fast
This is our moment to show people we love that we can do it
You have plan to go to college or whatever you have in mind
Time to get our freedom and be away from home
Time to live our life way we want
We are going our separate path, but
We still can get in contact with each other
No matter where we are in the world
This is greatest moment of our life
We are going tear, laugh, smile, and be proud what we done
Graduation
Is once in life time
High school don't last forever
This is what we been dreaming
All our life and we make it through
With our ups and downs, bad and good times
I never picture myself that I would be here
In front of whole school and get my diploma in my hand
This is all worth it
I never gave up or had any doubt
Thank you to all my friends who was like my brothers and sisters
They have been there for me, fun to hang out, talktative, and funny
Thank you to my family who is supportive, caring, and love me
Thank you to all my teachers who never give up on me and help me through
I have confident, hope, and believe in myself
That I will make it through and look where I am

Why Me
(olivia newton-john)
Oh dont ask why me, why me why not me
Why not me is the thing
Dont ask why me, lifes running by me
Live each moment that it brings
Take the time to smell the roses
Take the time to watch the stars
Take the time to see your child grow
Daddy now I know
Daddy now I know
Oh dont ask why me, why me why not me
Yes time is going fast
Im starting to question, what is lifes intention?
Guess Ive been too scared to ask
But Im letting go, to God in his wisdom
Or whoever that may be
Nobody knows who plans your future
Or decides your destiny
Oh dont say why me
Oh dont say why me
Oh dont say why me
Oh dont say why me
Life does the strangest things
You never know
What each moment can bring
You turn around
Your life has changed
Youve got to fight each round
Yes take it on the chin
No dont you ever give in
Oh dont say why me, say life just try me
And grow from all your tears
Every obstacle before you
Is a tool to face your fears
Yes now I know, its time to slow down
Its the sign to take control
For too many years Ive been a victim
But daddy now I know
Daddy now I know
Oh dont say why me
Oh dont say why me
Oh dont say why me
Oh dont say why me
Youve got to fight each round take it on the chin
And never never never ever give in
Fight each round take it on the chin
And never never never ever give in
Daddy now I know

Dont You Want Me
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh

Dont Stay Home
Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
Im only sayin this cuz I wish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration
I thinks its such a shame
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Oh how Id like to diffuse your time bomb anger
Its screaming danger danger this kind of world
Dont care if youre home so you better get some
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Everything Im sayin you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past christmas
I deserved to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
Hey dont break the mold kid just eat around it
Yeah thats what I did
Ill be running around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin youll catch me doin in any season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out
Biddy by by by by
Good-bye to the drout, yea
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home

The End Of The World

Why does the sea rush to shore?
Dont they know its the end of the world
cause you dont love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the starts glow above?
Dont they know its the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why evrything is the same as it was
I cant understand, no, I cant understand
How life goes on the way it does!
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine crying?
Dont they know its the end of the world?

Part Of Your Life
J. spinks
Youre taking this hard - and I still dont know
If weve got a price - Ill let you go
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I cant complain if Im not sure
Ill only remain if youre still pure
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
You know I wont share you with another man
So dont expect me to try and understand
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
(chorus)
Theres another choice
Theres another dream
Theres another place
Another reason for living
Theres another face
Theres another mind
Theres another soul
Another heart I could find
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time wont ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

I dont want a friend just to turn to
I dont need a hand that can only pull me through
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

Dont Ya Say It
Things you said to me
Sentimentally
Are always on my mind.
Seems you haunted me
But you set me free
Long before you gave me time to escape.
The next time
Ill be on my way
cause its time, its true
Im turning my back on you.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.
You threw love at me
Indispensably,
But you never could give it away.
And it seems to me
That youd never be,
Thats why Ill never stay with you.
You cant hold me down
cause its my life too,
So this time its true,
Im turning my back on you
.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me,

Tuckers Town
Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me
Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
cause it wasnt me that you were clinging to
He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me
I dont know
What I cant see
I dont know but Im makin time to call
I dont know
What I cant see
I dont know but shes watching me leave
Just wish theyd turn around
Just wish theyd try to see
But they dont understand and thats alright with me Im leaving now
Going down to tuckers town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and Id love to hurt the population
She called last night
I said Im about to leave
Then I heard him scream, Ill pack your bags
I dont know
What I cant see
I dont know but Im makin time to call
I dont know
What I cant see
I dont know but Im leaving here
To see the world through your rosy glasses
Ill teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed
I dont know............................................
What I cant see........................................
I dont know

Hero
Hidden track on some versions of no rest for the wicked
I dont want to be a hero
I dont ever want to let you down
No I dont want to let you down
I can try to take you higher
But I dont want to wear your broken crown
You know it brings me down
Dont think youll ever understand me
I dont even understand me
Dont have the power to anoint you
And I dont want to disappoint the fools no more
The fools no more
I couldnt answer all your questions
And if youre lost I couldnt find the way
I couldnt find your way
You know youll have to face the music
You change your tune, you dont know what to play
So dont you run away
Everybodys talkin crazy
So think I am a ____ maybe
I dont want to hear about it
Dont want to have to scream and shout it
Fools no more
The fools no more
So I dont want to be a hero
Dont want to sit upon your crippled thrown
Ive got a life of my own
I am not your destination
Or a road thats gonna lead you home
So baby please dont go
Please dont go
Please dont go
Please dont go...
