You Know?
written by Fallen Beauty03:25 AM 10/9/04Today I got that feeling
Of butterflies in my tummy.
I just had to keep dealing
With this feeling so funny.
You know?
I heard of more attacks
And deaths overseas.
I tried to relax and asked God to make it stop, please.
You know?
There’s more sadness than good
On the news everyday.
More shootin’s in the hood
It just gets worse in every way,
You know?
It’s hard to express yourself
When the community may hate you for it.
You have to be a doll on the shelf,
Keep that smile on your face; and that feeling inside? Ignore it.
You know?
With all kinds of music influencing our lives
We have to take the right path.
With all kinds of drugs that can kill us like knives
We have to stay clean, like dogs out of the bath.
You know?
So do the right thing,
Obey your mom and dad.
Take my advice, and happiness it will bring.
If you make smart decisions, life can’t turn out that bad,
You know? |
