DOLO
When my feelings hurt will you be there to console me
Room full of people but i still feel lonley
I dont trust a soul whole world turned on me
who can i trust whole world turned on me…
When my daddy died i had to be strong but i didnt want to
cried in my sleep only my pillow know my pain
prayed the rain would go away but its still stormin‘
nights in that cell drive you crazy its torment
who really got love for me its hard to tell this jail a have you tweekin‘
mind playin tricks i done dove off the deep end
reepin‘ what i sew lie in the bed that i made
only way out is appeal or the grave
Lawyer playing games guess its all about a check
Shorty only rock with me when her Ni##a disrespect
i express, some feelings that aint never get returned
turned my usher raymond up boi i had to let it burn
live and you learn, whats truer then that
is it crazy to love when you get none back,
whats truer then that, is it crazy to love…
If this make you feel a way its probably cause you bogus
lied to my face like im slow and wouldnt notice
had me out of focus, knocked my glasses of my face
i was blind to the game and lost, thats checkmate
they love me they love me not, last petal
thank god for new flowers
pray God remove you cowards
cause i dont need that energy in my life
will you run or will you fight when the odds in their favor
had to find out the hard way i couldnt change her
who can you trust when the gang full of snakes
no second chances you die from mistakes
told the twins smoove criminals never leave a trace
never let them see me sweat, blank face
pain make me a threat
stress is a motivation
life is a hotel, love a leave it vacant…
PICTURED A DAY
I cant find you no where
I looked for you everywhere
This life it just ain’t fair
Why cant I find love?
Come out come out where ever you are
Searched the night sky couldn’t find my star
I’m looking for love in the wrong places
Been chasing a ghost that wants the old me but im changing
Loyalty Over Values Everything
Searching for a tear in the rain, mentally drained
Your side of the bed is vacant
I’m patiently waiting, Im holding space but the time is slipping away
Pictured a day but the image is blurred
Words for a woman i dont know yet
But i’ll hold that, place in my heart for you
Wont settle need the real thing, fake love turn the soul green
I had a dream i said, bout who she said
Now im trying to put a face with the voice in my head
Lord, I pray an angel flies into my arms
I promise to keep her loved, happy and out of harm …
RED SONG
You been going through so much that its hard to watch
All the tears drop knowing that i cant stop the pain
… I prayed for you… God give her a break
Let your love rain down, wash the drama away..
She’s a good girl, but she been mislead
Product of the westside drugs got her mom and dad
Granny tryed her best lord bless her heart
Scared from the start when nobody watch over the lambs wolves attack
Little red riding through the hood all on her on
Lookin for somebody to love her and brought a baby home
Babydady tweeking he beat her like mayweather
So she try to move on thinking it’ll get better
But the rain kept falling death came calling
Babydady murderd but the story get worse
Her new Ni##a charged with the body is shorty cursed
More layers to it Red pregnet again
Having twins by the ni##a doing life in the pin
18 with 3 kids on her own in the world
Meet a new old ni##a kinda made her feel nice
Till he left her with baby number 4 in her life…
Struggle and she struggle and she struggle again
Pure heart great spirit but she just cant win
A lack of edcuation all the jobs dead end
A few phony Bi##hes kick it but aint got no friends
Young ni##as play the rool but aint got no men
The ave raise her kids while she punchin the clock
Her mom would be watching but she chacin the rock
So its all on red like the rulette wheel
I feel your pain my heart hurts for you
If I had one wish id give earth to you
Pain is real I know the poster child she going through hell but still post a smile
Seen more death then a steppa
Oldest boy caught a body she dont know how to help him
Twin got shot almost lost her baby
Daddy and brother passed, man this life crazy …
…. I wish, this story had a happy ending
But red 35 this still just the begining
But their is God so their is hope
The stress that you cope with a make you want a dope hit
The bottle wont solve it you got to stay focused
Dragged through the mud but we call it a spa
Its like, why quit now when you made it this far
One set of foot prints means he carried you through
At no point in life is it all on you/ what ever i can do i will
Let this song be your band aid, praying it’ll help you heal
I know it feel like the world wanna break yo‘ soul
Back hurt, feet tired bills got you in a hole
Kids wont chill, everybody got a hand out
Keep fighting Red, just dont quit
I said a prayer and got faith that God gon answer it…..
