If your mind can go there...

Self-actualize and realize, do what you got to do
If you can see it, you can be it, manifest, it's up to you
Everybody self-actualize and realize, do what you got to do
If you can see it, you can be it
If your mind can go there, then why can't you?
If your mind can go there, then why can't you?
If your mind can go there, then why can't you?

Junior Year of HS All Over Again

I start to think, and then I sink
Into the paper, like I was ink
When I'm writing I'm trapped in between the line
I escape when I finish the rhyme

Embarassing (It Was Me)

I called her phone
Waited for her to say "Hello."
Brought up her tweets angrily
"Who is that you're talking about?"
She informed me it was me
So, so embarassing
Shows there's little trust
Angry, she's become
Apologies a must
I'm sorry for doubting you, baby
But see I've been in something like
This before
But you're nothing like that and I'm sorry
I should've been careful more

All For Me

Forgiveness is for me
I'm feeling so incomplete right now
This is not the way things should be
What's sad is I think I know how

I'm tired of trying to be perfect
I'm not without fall
Can't be delusion's servant
So I'm confessing all

See forgiveness is for me
And yes I forgive you too
But holding it in only hurts me
Much more than it hurts you

So much better

Now what am I going to do
I left my girlfriend for you
Thought life with you would be
so much better, better
Now I know that I'm not your treasure

Now what am I going to do
I cheated on my girlfriend for you
Thought this time would be
so much different, different
When my mind spoke, I should have listened

This one's off the record

You are my secret lover
Keep this one off the record
We're not going public
On the social networks
Keep this one off the record
And off the books
No accounting for this one
I really love this one
But no one gonna know about this one
--That's how we like it--
I got this feeling girl
I'm not gon fight it.
Either we're Cowards
or concealing our true feelings
Secretly knowing it wouldn't work
Secretly knowing it wouldn't get better
Secretly knowing there's something better
Secretly knowing its not worth the effort
