Watch Your Back

In this time we live in,
You can’t always find a friend,
They’ll tell you to get your own bread,
And hope is not that easy,
Oh no, you can’t always find a true friend,
And it doesn't get any easier.

(True friends are hard to find out there, when you make progress, they get bitter and envious, as you surge forward, remember to watch your back…)

In this place of shadows where dreams are born,
This house of illusion where dreams are shattered,
The truth may not be true,
The fittest rule with might,
And justice isn’t always served,
Oh no, reality may not be real,
And it doesn't get any easier.

(Follow your own path, stop chasing shadows, and when you have, remember to save for the day of lack, as you surge forward, remember to watch your back…)

The crab main defence system is its protruding eyes, open your eyes and watch your back.

Pills N Potion

Hello,
I'm leaving, on a jet plane. Don't know if I'll be back again.
Kiss me n smile for me. Get drunk n get high for me.
Tell me that you will neva let me go.

Ayo,

they could never make me hate you
Even though what you was doing wasn't tasteful
Even though you out here looking so ungrateful
I'm a keep it moving, be classy and graceful
I told 'em it's no friends in the game
You ain't learned that yet
All the bridges you came over, don't burn that yet
Niggas want respect, but niggas ain't earned that yet
Self-righteous, and entitled
But they swearing on their  holy Books that they love you
When really they're no different from all your rivals
But I still don't wish death on them, I just reflect on them

Yo,

people will love you and support you only when it's beneficial
I'm a forgive, I won't forget, but I'm a dead the issue
Soon as you out the nigga's lives is when they start to miss you
They see you doing good now it's kinda hard to diss you
Niggas be sick when they remember all the bad they wished you
Niggas be mad when they can't come and live lavish with you
But I sped off in a Benzy, I see the envy when I'm causing a frenzy
So I pop pills for them, cop cribs in the Hills on 'em.

I get high off your memory, In due time, we'll be fine, In due time...

                                                                                                     

House by the sea

Martha paints, paints, paints
Sitting all alone, in her little house by the sea
And every moment passing brings him closer still
Yes, the one she loves the most.
Martha sews, sews, sews
Makes a little quilt, in her little house by the sea
And every door that's creaking brings a little smile
That soon he’ll be coming home.
Martha prays, prays, prays
By her dainty crib, in her little house by the sea
Cos every word of the letter makes it plain and clear
He won’t be coming home no more.

Martha dusts, dusts, dusts
Cleans up every inch of her little house by the sea
Cos when they bring the body, it will be like a king
Laying on a golden bed.
Martha waits, waits, waits
Counting up the stars above her little house by the sea
And every distant twinkle, like his gentle hand
Wipes away her silent tears.
Martha’s grey now
Sitting all alone in her little house by the sea
And every moment passing brings her closer still
To the one she loves the most
Martha’s gone now…

The Path

I sing for the little ones
For the women with their worries
I sing for the old and tired
Give the youth some hope and direction
I sing for the downtrodden
The beaten man in the gutter
I sing for the powerful
That they may be humble and learn to be kind
Change will come to the one who is ready
Face the truth and stand for justice
Too many days of pain and sorrow
Now is the time to make your move
 (Take that path of rebirth)
 (You should know that path)

I sing for the high and low
Of the ups and downs of life
Make the journey easier
For my brothers and sisters trapped in the struggle
I sing of ancient wisdom
To remind you in simple words
If your neighbor is not happy
There is no way you can be at peace
Sow your life, your talent and energy
Plant a tree today my sister
Provide shade for future wayfarers
Make this land better than we met it

Don't you worry about me
I’m just a flash of light passing through
Find the strength to make the change
And strive to be happy, strive to be free
There’s no reason to wallow in sadness
Stand up strong and raise your head
For the day of reckoning cometh
When we’ll be marching to the sound of freedom
Change will come to the one who is ready
Face the truth and stand for justice
Too many days of pain and sorrow
Now is the time to make your move
