🎵🎵🎵🎵Tommy

(Verse 1)
Tommy made a baby, they say with a sneer,
Sixteen and pregnant, whispering in my ear.
"Not our concern," the judgment rings so clear,
But look beyond the surface, hold back your fear.


(Verse 2)
Tommy, unseen, a ghost in the hall,
A seed in foster care, destined to fall.
No father's guidance, no mother's warm embrace,
Lost in the system, a forgotten space.
They say the streets breed monsters in the night,
But Tommy just craved love, and someone to hold tight.


(Verse 3)
Then came a girl, a fragile, wounded dove,
And in her eyes, he saw a glimmer of love.
A baby stirred, a fragile, beating heart,
For Tommy, a chance to make a brand new start.
But joy is fleeting, a wisp upon the breeze,
No helping hand, no comfort, no ease.


(Verse 4)
Her belly grew, her mother hung her head,
Two children, lost and frightened, filled with dread.
Their love a lifeline, a thin and fragile thread,
While stress and fear and hunger lay ahead.
Eviction notice, nailed onto the door,
Life's brutal lesson, forevermore.


(Verse 5)
He turned to darkness, a desperate, silent plea,
To sell the poison, just to finally break free.
To shield his girl, to feed their precious child,
Down a path of shadows, dark and oh so wild.
But justice waited, cold and unforgiving hand,
Tommy's desperation, no one could understand.


(Verse 6)
The deal gone wrong, a rat in the police's hold,
His partner's words, a story to be told.
Charged as an adult, the sentence came down hard,
A decade stolen, leaving him scarred.
A thug they see, a monster in the making,
But underneath, a boy's heart is breaking.


(Verse 7)
Ten years inside, a life completely denied,
His girl, his child, forever at his side... in his mind.
The news reports, a cold and distant tone,
"Youth dealer found dead, hanging all alone."
Tommy's story, a tragic, bitter end,
A boy who needed a helping hand, my friend.


(Outro)
Remember Tommy, his face, his name,
A victim of a system, riddled with shame.
Before you judge, before you turn away,
Remember Tommy, lost along the way.
Lost along the way...

🎵🎵🎵 Money

(Verse 1) Sunrise creeping through the blinds Another day, the daily grind Got bills to pay, a dream to chase This hungry heart, this hurried pace I want the green, the folding kind But something deeper's on my mind (Chorus) I want money, that's the honest truth Not gonna lie, escaping from my youth But I don't love it, no, it's not my king Just a tool, a chance to spread my wing I need money, yes, I need it bad But I won't sell my soul, I won't be sad Just to get it, lying in the dust Integrity's a treasure, I can trust (Verse 2) The whispers tempt, the easy way Cut corners sharp, where shadows play They promise riches, instant gain But leave you hollow, filled with pain I'd rather struggle, honest and true Than compromise the person I should be, for you (Chorus) I want money, that's the honest truth Not gonna lie, escaping from my youth But I don't love it, no, it's not my king Just a tool, a chance to spread my wing I need money, yes, I ne...

(Verse 1) These lyrics echo, a trapped refrain, A storm of thoughts, a relentless pain. I want to speak, to bleed my soul, But truth unveiled might take its toll. Would sharing change the bitter taste? Or leave the landscape, barren, waste? (Verse 2) Dear Dad, this birthday letter trembles so, Not fear of words, but fate's strange flow. A cruel coincidence, this day of birth, You absent always, devoid of worth. How could you sever, erase the past? No memory stirred, no shadow cast? No tears of regret for what you'd done? You were a thief, and my childhood's gone. (Verse 3) I rage at God, how can I forgive A man whose absence made my mother grieve? Perhaps your reasons, I cannot know, For leaving her, and watching us grow... Alone. What had we done to earn this plight? A son deprived of father's guiding light. The stolen moments, a hollow ache, Did you plant the seeds, my anxious mistake? (Verse 4) They say, "Don't play the victim," words unkind, But they d...

Superhero

Oh, Source of wisdom, breath of life's own art, Please God, imbue the promptings of my heart. Grant me the words, a flowing, crystal stream, To waken spirits from a slumbering dream. Not for my glory, nor for fleeting fame, But that my utterance may gently claim A space within the souls of humankind, To leave a positive effect, profoundly kind. I yearn to motivate, to fan the flame, To whisper courage, breathe a hopeful name. To stir the weary, lift the burdened gaze, And light their path through life's bewildering maze. To paint a vision, vibrant, strong, and clear, And banish doubt, replacing it with cheer. Yet, in this giving, I would also seek A humble wisdom, tender, softly meek. To learn and grow, to blossom and expand, To understand the intricate demand Of listening hearts, and minds that yearn to know, That as I sow, so too may I truly grow. Let every phrase be thoughtfully inspired, A vessel for the truth, profoundly fired. To be a student, even as I teach, To climb ne...
