the freshest

once in my life
i thought of a time
filled with strife
days spent spittin rhymes
chillin in my room
thinking what to do
try to find
what’s new and what’s cool
never had enthusiasm
with my feelings of sorrow
borrowed yesterdays
for my stolen tomorrows
i know im the greatest lyricist
of the mormons there are
sharing memories and feelings
songs of the heart
i just want everyone to know
that when they come to see my show
i want them to be happy
and i want them to shine
i don’t want to be sappy
i’m just feeling fine

the world deserves a positive story
about how a life well lived
can one day bring you glory
they need a life undistracted
cut out of world affairs
less worry all compacted
and less time spent in the air

focused on everything that’s good and real
focused on just exactly how you feel
and if you want to be happy then here’s the deal
life is about living like you’re made out of steel
if you aren’t happy you’re doing it wrong
that’s the message i spit in exactly this song

seven

like a piece of art hung in the Louvre
i’m on the go, i’m on the move
yeah the Mona Lisa was a piece of work
a plain looking girl world renowned for her smirk

things aren’t fair for the artist
even thoughthey’re the ones who work hardest
and they’re the ones who push themselves farthest
no money for the masters or greatest
but theirs is eternal fame.

these are two separate, related things.

madness

it’s all madness
we can’t stop the sadness
just see the pain and hurt
where are our priorities?
cast upon the golden sanctuaries
false hopes and dreams caught up in these
we need to retire, stop the fight
so we can come back and make wrong things right
our world is too big for us to imagine
your life is too big for you to be stagnant
our lives are the ones that we can rule
you can do it all if you just try to make it true
wishes and dreams can become reality
when we retire to simplicity
cast off the titans
take on your life
