Where Can I Buy Time?

What you want

Outstanding

Excuse me as I clear my throat.
What I have to say is important, now's not the time to choke.
I can tell you about the feelings you evoke.
And like I'm up all night, you help me stay woke.
Tell me how you're feeling, I can cheer you up with these jokes.
I'm talking about all the have beens in your DMs.
They don't make the cut, not even a trim.
I'm taking all chances even if they're slim.
You make time stand still even up against the wind.
If I told you once I don't mind, its nothing telling you again.
See you bring peace to mind, helping uplift the way I live.
Wouldn't mind one, two, three four kids.
As long as they have your eyes under both those lids.
You're so outstanding you bring me to my feet.
I'll make my palms collide, like bumpers hitting the street.
You deserve all the cheers, no need to be discreet.

Whats The Scenario?

Switching up the scenario.
Your smile makes the world go round, like merry go.
Left pocket with my phone and the right's full of Hope.
I asked God for a sign, looked up and one showed.
Not quite a ribbon but something only I would know.
A coincidence not, this was the real deal.
So I'll keep on digging I don't even need a drill.
You see I got these hands.
And a mind with the plan.
Spaceship visions, waving high to Superman.
All I need is one if it came to a chance.
I love to 2-step, what's your favorite dance?
Do you like to shoot, or Milly rock on the beat?
I don't really care we can salsa in the street.
Got what you want and I'm learning what you need.
You don't like material and you hate all the greed.
You make it so easy for me to want and please. 

The Search Continues

Like calf raises you take me higher.
If you know me then you know the old me had the same desires.
The passing time means nothing to me.
I'm just focused on my destination clearly.
The route might change but it's always been the same vision.
And you had me at hello, Lord I'm so smitten.
You'll never see me caught up like Bill Clinton.
It is what it is, don't worry about what it isn't.
When you speak I listen.
You said live in the moment, now I don't want to miss it.
Planning for the future never seemed so distant.
But I'm eager for it, soon we'll be reminiscin'.
Fiending for a feelin' that's hard to describe.
You give it to me so easy and don't even try.
I was searching for gold never knew I would find,
Something better, way clever, and so one of kind.
Buckle up this might be one hell of ride.

The Search

Your Future

I got a lot more dreaming to do.
I'm falling fast with no parachute.
So hopefully these goals can act as wings.
To lift me further than my wildest dreams.
Are your visions really what they seem?
Do you see your future clearer than a 50-inch screen?
These words or more than just a brain leak.
Take a trip with me and follow the journey.
Look me in my eyes, I'll see if you're worthy.
Even with eyes closed,
You won't be able to hide your soul.
It oozes from your words.
And attaches to your personality.
Studying your heart like a nerd,
Don't mind me that's just my mentality.
I'm avoiding all casualties.
No more hurt feelings,
I just want your joy to the ceiling.
The ice in my lemonade,
I thank God you were made.

And Love Song of The Year Goes To.....

Verse Lyrics:

Check the message that I'm spittin to you baby girl.
I know you sick and tired of the issues in the world.
We're looking for the same thing and its hard to find
I know we can reach it of we dont stop the climb.
You stay on my mind.
Your hair,
Your eyes,
Just
Two
Things I like
You just have to be yourself
Nothing more nothin else
You're my warmth in the shade,
And my hot cup of tea.
Bon appetit, baby lets just have a seat.
You the apple of my eye, I see you when I sleep.
Is it really really real or are they only dreams.
If your love was a game then I'll always compete
I don't know how to quit and never liked defeat
Looking in your eyes I can tell your soul is deep.
You deserve it all, I just wanna make your heart sing.

Shine On Me

Please answer me this.
How can I stop when I never learned how to quit?
I'm feeling like the Riddler because I know you can't solve it.
Your light beams reign down on me.
I can't stare too long obviously.
You're my warmth in the shade,
And my hot cup of tea.
Bon appetit, baby lets just have a seat.
You the apple of the eye, I always see you when I sleep.
Is it really real or are they only dreams.
Im pretty sure I know, but the world will have to wait and see.
And if you're ever stumped don't worry this love is amazomic, any one else is only a tree.
And all I needed was a mustard seed.
I know you can become all you can be.
I'm right by your side but I'll never ever leave.
I play with words but never your feelings.
And whenever you need to vent, you know get it off your chest.
I'll be all ears massaging your neck.
Classic gentleman, what else did you expect?
Don't underestimate or confuse a plane with a jet.
The best authored this, remember to never settle for less.

I'm Referring To You

There's a method to the madness.
You seem to make me the gladdest.
It's day and night how it happened.
One minute things are tragic,
Then I'm soarin' high like I chill with Aladdin.
What's that noise? Oh its the people clappin'.
You deserve it all,
But they need to hold their applause.
The best is still yet to come.
And if you think otherwise, you just don't know enough.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to love.
Let me teach you if you couldn't tell.
Look at our man Obama, nothing without Michelle.
And since '93 Pauletta's been holding it down for Denzel.
Even Ellen and Portia have been holding up well.
But now I'm through with discussion.
I just want to hold something.
I'm referring to you, the ultimate type of lovin'.

What's Your Favorite Love CD?

Lost in a pool of regret.
A feeling I would never expect.
Dodging the scrutiny, hoping for the best.
Nostalgia often comforts, but now it's a threat.
My mind steady under duress.
It's the thoughts of you that I have to keep in check.
Went through my phone and deleted all our pictures.
Getting your image out of my mind comes next.
Dammit, I need a checklist.
Why is my imagination sometimes reckless?
This is a ride with no restraints, the journey might get hectic.
A period of growth isn't always so easy.
Happy thoughts always seem to tease me.
They come and go when they want and the rush leaves me cheesy.
It has me putting on all my love CDs.
Like a meal so greasy,
It tasted good but it was hard for you to leave me.
Now I'm aiming for a mindset that stays on motivated.
Love is in the air and I swear I can taste it.

Vibe

Basic Math

Uh oh,
Here we go again.
I'm fed up arguing about your friends.
I mean, they never had your back like I do.
And when the going got rough some of them went poof.
Vanished into thin air.
And I'm tired of acting like I don't care.
This is why if you can't step up to your pals.
I'm sorry baby girl, you and me can't get down.
I left all the drama in the rearview.
And I'm no longer looking back that's just not smart to do.
So embrace the future and let the past build you.
It's your foundation for a world of hope, I thought you knew?
Switch gears and speed off on the doubt.
And anything else that follows like a dark cloud.
They say we sound better than you and me.
So excuse my french, but if they ask if you're mine I reply “oui, oui”.
So the bottom line is,
If you're really about us you might have to minus,
To add these blessings that are bound to multiply.
Let's chase our dreams together and never divide.

PrettY winged Thing

I'm always coming up with new ways to make you smile.
Always up for the late night talks whenever you're down.
You can tell me how you're feeling or just about your day.
It really doesn't matter I'm attached to everything you say.
It's hard for me to lay.
When you're the last thing on my mind.
I'll pay whatever price, not worried about the decline.
Cause this is something that's only on the rise.
When you listen to my voice don't you feel all the pride?
I'm proud to have you anywhere near my side.
Look at you shine and your wings seem just fine.
Cause I know when you make up your mind,
you're never afraid to venture out and fly.
Maybe that's why no one gets me high like you.
I can't report on all that you do.
These words only describe the surface.
If you put your heart on the line I promise I won't hurt it.

That's Awkward

Things change.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
What was once a truth quickly becomes a lie.
Oh, you'll be surprised...
In fact, you'll be in shock each and every time.
The truth sounds so good so you keep it on file.
As it was sealed with a laugh and a gorgeous smile.
But then it happens in the blink of an eye.
Off goes the charm, it was just a disguise.
Or maybe not.
Perhaps there was a turning point that you happened to miss.
Something that couldn't get fixed with a simple kiss.
And the subject is awkward so it doesn't get discussed.
What's worse is that you couldn't even tell, straight oblivious.
Find the strength to ditch your pride, trust its a must.
And if you're mad at breakfast, make up before lunch.

Close to me

Sitting in the grass alone at the park.
Thinking of you, I can do this til it gets dark.
Ima keep these dreams of mine close to me.
A healthy dose of you holding me,
Jammin' to Hov and Bey,
Like how its supposed to be.
I'll call you first,
Hang up last,
Protect your future,
Make you laugh.
Who am I not to.
I handle adversity fine, so I only can imagine what you been through.
But we all go through things eventually.
This is what leads to a passion that nourishes unconditionally.
Once you get it all squared away mentally,
Say goodbye to temp and hello to eternity.
Doubts fade away and there's only certainty.
Inner peace is what lasts not that watch or Gucci Bag.
You know what they say about one man's trash?

No boundaries

Little did we know we would create these boundaries.
You went below the waist like like when green fouled steve.
Or kicked, whatever.
Now's not the time to get clever.
I thought about you last night.
While my incense smoke floated past candle light.
It's never too late... They say.
Live as if you'll die today!... They say.
Well if I did that I'd be on bended knee every day.
I'd birth a new way to commit whenever I awake.
I know this sounds like a movie but I'd do whatever it takes.
Hell, I'd take you on 50 first dates. 
Holding hands, two straws, sipping on a shake.
I wonder how many can relate?
What it's like to realize fate.

Ready, Set.

I forgot about this feeling so it kind of felt new.
It brought me back to that place where your face was all I knew.
That time in my life where the wind barely blew.
Adding spice to my life my pack of paprika.
Then in one snap you're nothing more than amnesia.
Ready, set it off - Pinkett or Latifah.
Cliche I know but I've found a new home.
I had to try something that might gain your attention.
Since the fact that if you hear my name you might get on the defensive.
Ignoring all my calls it's like you put my feelings on suspension.
Kicking me out I had no way to get in.
I hate to know you have a plethora of competition.
Waiting all in line until the current one flies or you regain your sense of self and throw your deuces up high.

Change

I should have called you.
I should have stalled you.
I'm sorry, I mean I should have paused too.
But you can't gauge.
How long it takes to change.
I shed tears for many days.
I'm probably still ashamed.
But I guess that's what we have cocoons.
To protect while we bloom.
The perfect time to lose.
Cause once we leave there's only gains.
Your wings are your confidence, you know theres power even in your name.
And your smile is one the same.
Cause when I see it, somehow it always remains on my brain.
And you are not to blame.
And don't you ever feel ashamed.
For the feelings in your heart, only you have felt your pain.
I hope the love is always there.
And that no one quits to care.

There's Always More To The Story

You Only Deserve Happiness

It's really your heart I want to take care of.
I want to help keep your spirits uplifted, something else you should be aware of.
You only deserve happiness.
That means Even if I have to dance or perform a magic trick.
Time is our friend cause that's all we really have.
Soon The distance will shrink and your smile will make me gasp.
Constantly searching for air because you take my breath away.
Your effortless beauty often leaves me with nothing to say.
But somehow I always manage to find these words.
With the intentions of making your soul chirp like the early morning birds.
Whatever your desires are don't be afraid if they fall apart.
We can pick up the pieces together and I'll assist with another start.
So dream until your heart sings the greatest tune.
Sincerely,

Your favorite teammate, don't worry I won't let us lose.

One time for my dawgs in the bay...
