So we got the home longing for the
1st time home buyers credit
not knowing that the home owners associations fee
I'll be stuck with it,
my neighbors got all unpadded floors
I didn't say a thing
thinking he will realize
but doesn't happen anymore

I worked hard and helped all as I could
but when its time for a promotion they say what for?
I tell them all the things I've done
haven't I made them proud
All that they did
its got my name written all over it
but still
no credit
still
there's silence

Khadijah Rivera

She just took it off and gave it to her
no she didn't mind the cold
she said that woman needed it more
I've got another one at home

And this is not the first time
you know she's done that before
She's got the habit of helping others
she cant stop it any more

Sister K
Are you Okay?
Why'd you have to go so far away
Sister K
have a great day!
I'll be OK
We will be okay.

It's not my call, she would've told you so
These shots are made in heaven above
If she had it her way
she'd be right here today
but you know that's not how it happens out here

Sister K
Are you okay?
I didn't hear from you today?
Sister K
don't be afraid
I will try to be OK
you have a great day!
Sister K
Where are you today?
I'd like to see you some day
Sister K
I'll be OK
don't worry about me
You have a great day!


Dec 5th... You will have a wondrous surprise for all youth in Tampa

813 516 2137
and sister K
mine is 202 344 0988

There goes
there she goes
tonight shes feeding the poor
and everybody knows
what she grows
and then how she gives it away

she was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
Oh Khadijah Rivera
the home for the homeless of New York or Tampa
Khadijah Rivera

And then she would
show you how to do some more good
and take it as it comes back
She had it all understood
Not a lot of people knew, everybody lost her

she was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
Sister Khadijah Rivera
the home for the homeless of New York or Florida
Khadijah Rivera
She was the wind that would blow out in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera

be strong

Somebody
has got to be strong
I might as well
Be the one

Somebody
has got to be strong
Might as well
I be that one.

keep it cool

You bother me on the freeway
Don’t try to give me any way
Keep bringing your car closer to mine
Hit me, cut me or scratch me a line

I’m not loosing cool
I’m not a fool
I’m not going to lose my cool
Give me an unfair reckless driving ticket
I’ll go to the court and I’ll fight for justice
Where are the cops when you most need them?
Can you catch those drivers who are still out there on the road killing people?

I’m not loosing cool
I’m not a fool
I’m not gona loose my cool
Not because I’m scared
It’s because I want to do the right thing.

Bow down your head to God
Be afraid
Give some love
If you want to get some

No I’m not loosing cool
I’m going to keep it cool
No I’m not some stupid fool
I’m not gona loose my cool

Any time
All the time
No matter where
Always aware
Of my own actions.

you deserve it

So I started the car
Hit the highway
As she sat in the back and watched me
Taking as it comes
Everything that has happened over the week

She has faced a real tough life
And now it’s her turn to enjoy
Feel the colors of autumn leaves
Relive the seasons as they come and leave
Dive into this happiness
That she had once left behind
You see I got her remarried.

Its none’s fault
If you’ve fallen for someone
Who am I to disagree?
All I can do, is wish you the best
In rebuilding a happy family tree…

It’s nobody’s fault
If you you’ve fallen for someone
Every soul is born free
All I can do is pray for you, Mum, and wish you the best in rebuilding…
Your family…

Look at daddy with his new family
And now finally, you are also free
After 30 years of having no one
Now you’re once again so happy….
May God give you a long healthy life…
May God give you more of these smiles..

Road accidents

Mom and dad, of those children
wont be going to work today
you see they died
over the weekend
They were buying
take out for kids
when another car
came and hit them

I been thinking about those kids
They have lost their Mom and dad
Oh my God I pray to you for them
I dont want to go like that.
Oh My God
save us from road accidents.

I searched their story on wtop
Couldnt find any news article
But this news would be so hard to ignore
for the kids of that family.

I been thinking about those kids
Hey have lost their Mom and dad
Oh my God I pray to you for them
I dont want to go like that.
Oh My God
save us from road accidents.

if life will be the same again
after the angle comes to kill

so roll them down
roll them down
roll down the windows
let the wind come in
and sing
I wont be here tomorrow

from the desert
nature has it
it holds the answer

no such thing as gravity

leaving Earth behind
travel through the fluid sublime
defying gravity
Antares on line

leaving this beautiful world
and all that it has brought
what a way
to end the day
the rollers online

listen to what they say
the premise on which we lay
the foundations of a healthy life
learned when the moment is right.

Money

Let me get some money
let me get some honey
let me get some money, money, money

my time will come

Go ahead and show me what you got
I'll take it, waiting, for my turn to come

Something that should always be of some concern
at the end of every loop the tables get turned

so you might be someones boss right now
but you never know
which way
the hurricane will go
you might be in control
of some one right now
but you never know which side you're standing
tomorrow

Something that should always be of some concern

walking down, the metropolis

if only you could one more time
hold me in your arms again

Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Tell me.

You've got a new family.

So am I your son now?
Am I your love now?

Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Tell me.


And Mommy
You are the rock I rest upon
and even when everything is gone
you'd still be a part of me
but daddy
I cant hold on to you
but I could give it one more try
If you hold me in your arms again

Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Daddy?

Perfect family.



understand

15 minutes of break
that's all that she had
she wanted to talk to him
He said
I don't want to talk to you
Why'd you keep calling me back?

Couldn't help over hear the conversation
thought about how short life is
why cant we spend this precious time
in doing something good?

So I walk up
to that man
I tell him
to understand, her
You cant live your
life too fast
You'd always want to smile at it
whenever you look back.

You cant measure people you love
nor the ones that you don't
you said you spend so much on her
did she ever ask you any money for sleeping over?

You cant put anyone
in that kinda situation
and the world will then truly seem like
such a small place
all the contradictions that we make
to each other
take us further
and further
apart
when we should be
closing in

So walk up
to that man
tell him
understand
you cant live your
life like that
you'd always want to smile at it
whenever you look back.

So I walk up
to that man
I tell him
to understand, her
You cant live your
life too fast
You'd always want to smile at it
whenever you look back.

get up

In a way you're living out, on a busy stream
but life is not, a movie screen
You don't know when your time's up
everything will fall and become dust

You gotta get up, get up
get up on your feet
You gotta get up, sit up
get off the street
You gotta get up, get up
get up on your feet
You gotta get up, get up
get off of the streets

look at all the time we spend on ourselves
big city busy life the globalists are taking over
you got to go organic
or your life is in trouble

You gotta get up, get up
get up on your feet
You gotta get up, sit up
get off the street
You gotta get up, get up
get up on your feet
You gotta get up, get up
get off of the streets

today

He walks down the road, the city streets
filled with smiling faces and Autumn leaves

A very good morning to you...
hear people saying to each other
Ain't it such a lovely day
what you gonna do with your today?

He's just a guy from Pakistan
Rockistan is where he lives
spending time in Washington
staring at capitol hill

She says, this is the place
where worlds decisions are made
this is the place
where lives can be saved.

He walks down old town Alexandria
side walk cafes, through city maze
Whats the headline, do we know whats going on
the world is in a lot of pain today

A very good morning to you...
people are saying to each other
Ain't it such a lovely day
what you gonna do with your today?

She says, this is the place
where worlds decisions are made
this is the place
where lives can be saved.

She says, this is the place
where worlds decisions are made
this is the place
where lives can be saved.

He's just a guy from Pakistan
Rockistan is where he lives
spending time in Washington
wishfully staring at the Hill...

this is it

So there I go and turn on the screen
everybody, somehow talking about me
Dont they have something, better to do
everyday they kill, and they are coming for you.

Everybody is talking about the Muslim
some are shaking hands while some are hiding from him
The topic is controversial, so they say
everybody's trying to make a buck out of it.

I see the faces, looking mean
what are they airing on those big TV screens?
Opinion makers and commentators, news room anchors or moderators
people wake up you're surrounded by alligators
dont give in to these corporations
they got vested agendas
you can do better

So there you go and turn off the screen
you'll get nothing if you keep talking about me
Dont they have something, better to do
everyday they're killing, and the next one is you.

Everybody is talking about the Muslims
some are shaking hands while some are hiding from them
The topic is controversial, so they say
everybody's trying to make a buck out of this
everybody's trying to make a buck out of this
everybody's trying to make a buck out of this.

Everybody is talking about the Muslim
some are shaking hands while some are hiding from him
Dont they have something, better to do
everyday they kill, and they are coming for you.

that's how it goes

Everybody 's dependent on, hanging on to another one
everybody lingering on, to someone else's loaded gun

Aren't you full of so much pride
arrogance and between the lies
what you gonna do with all this wealth
you cant even take it to your grave

Alone
you're nothing but a peace of
stone
and alone
you're nothing
but a stone
move on
to do that one thing
that you're feeling in your bones

that's what the elders say
that's what the native say
and that's how it goes
why, no one knows.

human beings
so pre conceived
the magic is when you
do something
of your own

with all that's been given
to you
you're not the mortal
open you eyes to the one Who is

Alone
you're nothing
but a piece of stone
alone
you're nothing
but a stone
hold on
to that one thing
that's in your bones
think of the moment when He breathed in you
that's how it grows

alone
you're nothing but a peace of
stone
and alone
you're nothing
but a stone
so hold on
to that one thing
that you feel in your bones
alone
you're nothing...
but a peace of stone
that's lying there
that's how it goes
why none knows?

Brent will live

This is the time
to test my spirit
or is it the time
for me to carry on?
I'm alive
just not breathing
spinning all around you
though for some I might be gone

I am like the river that flows through the mountains of beyond

I wont cry today
I'll give it
all my self control
Instead
I'll pray to God
to have mercy on your soul

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smile
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your eyes
I'll remember, everything, about your life
No I wont cry

I can still see you
with that camera of yours
eager to get back
to start editing and opening doors
you gave it all to your work
even gave yourself for the common good

I wont cry today
I'll give it
all my self control
Instead
I'll pray to God tonight
to have mercy on your soul

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smile
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your eyes
I'll remember, everything, about your life
No I wont cry tonight

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, everything, about your life
You get the glory, man
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smile

The day he left he named it as his course
he lived and thrived like a powerful force
so close your eyes and see him
in between your memories
you'll hear the wind singing, something sweet through the trees

Brent will live in me
yes in you and me
some may not but some will see
Brent will live

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your eyes
I'll remember, everything, about your life
You get the glory
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smiles
I cant believe I'm writing this
We'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, everything, about your life
like your smile

Brent, you're gone
but these cars man, they keep moving on
or maybe, that's the sign

I wish you'd live a thousand lives
as I watch you go beyond that light.


make the best of what you have

Here comes the morning
look at that sun rise
for some its leaving
for some its coming home

here comes the sunset
lets watch it for a while
look at all these colors
fading to black

you better
make the best of what you have
don't know how much time
you're left with
you better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how long
you're left with?

you're born and you grow
you live and then you die
the rest is the passage
the journey of your life

but should've stopped you there
maybe
but you wouldn't have listened
you're a free soul
but should've called out your name,
you would've turned around

you wont believe what you'll see
when the spirits smile at me
saying welcome to the other side, of these dimensions
while you're alive
what are you waiting for

you better
make the best of what you have
don't know how much time
you're left with
you better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how long
you're left with?

And today
your last day on earth
your first day on earth
does it feel like it ?

you better
make the best of what you got
God knows how magical it'll be
what you'll see
what you'll feel
once you get there.

You better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how much
you're left with
you'll never
know the feeling of love
His Holiness will occur
till you get there.

You better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how long
you're left with
And forever
you'll know the feeling of love
that His Holiness will occur
when you get there.

You better
make the best of what you got
as if its your last day on earth
you don't know how much time you're left with
and forever
I know the feeling of love
that His Holiness Has occurred
on me.

till you get there
when you get there
revel, in your amaryllis

so now you're there
and for now I'm here
revel, in your amaryllis


brother

If I could give you
any
words of inspiration
that would be, an
honer for me

If I could bring you
in a comforting situation
that would mean,
a life of eternity

But hey Mandi
Are you missing him too?
The truth is that it can be
true!
But hey there Mandi
you don't have to be blue
God made you stronger,
there's your brother in you.

If I could
swim through
my own desperation
that would mean, the
end of my dream

but If I could
remind you
of his sense of humor
that would be, an
honer for me

And hey Mandi
Are you missing him too?
I tell you that it can be
So true!
But hey there Mandi
you don't have to be blue
God made you tougher,
there's your brother in you.

Hey there Mandi
you'll see it through?
I tell you that it can be
true!
hey there Mandy
he's sending prayers for you
and he told me that
he loves you, too,
And hey Mandi
you don't have to be blue
God made you worthy,
your brothers in you

yes your brothers in you
yes your brothers in you

go whisper to your mother
her son will live forever
and in you, in me, in him, in them
and all those that he met
along the way

in the meantime
you don't have to be blue
your brothers in you.


live, via sunlight

just when you feel like giving up
think about how close you are, to the end of the tunnel

just when you think you cant
take any more, try giving it another shot

you might make it

look at me

I'm coming at you
Live...
via sunlight
I'm coming at you
live
via starlight
shine bright

just when you fall
nose down to the ground
pick your self up off the floor
listen to the signs, see them, feel them
someones knocking
happiness is right inside your door

look at this

I'm coming at you
Live...
via sunlight
I'm coming at you
live
via starlight, so bright

And we live like immortals
when nothing is forever
Aren't you simply amazed by the thought
lets not test the patience of God

First day

First day in the grave
hows it feeling
tell me the taste
was it reeling?
You said don't stand next to my grave
and don't cry
I wont be there
to reply

so does it hurt?
did it work?
was it worth it at all?
was it worth dying than to live and can you give me a call?
does it hurt?
did it work
was it worth it at all?
was it worth dying than living, can you give me a call?
your phones not ringing...

Another day in the grave
for the body
time will melt it away
now no ones there

the soul has parted
departed for another land
within these dimensions somewhere
part 2 of Gods plan

nothing is vanished, everything's here
transiting from one place to another, solitaire

But does it hurt?
did it work?
was it worth it at all?
was it worth dying than to live and can you give me a call?
does it hurt?
did it work
was it worth it at all?
was it worth dying than living, can you give me a call?
your phones not ringing...

No one is answering the phone
so have you finally reached home?
No one is answering the phone
have you finally reached home?

First day in space
whats your location?
Are you there?
reached His heaven?

I'm calling you i hope that you can hear
I pray to God to give mercy over fear

now I need to over come
what that I had become

now I need to over come
what that I'd become
