"Belief" by John Mayer

Some good lines in the song:

belief is a beautiful armor
but makes for the heaviest sword
like punching underwater
you never can hit who you're trying for
...
what puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
belief can, belief can
what puts a folded flag inside his mother's hand?
belief can, belief can

Everclear ~ Everything to Everyone

"I think you are blind to the fact
that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down."


Everlast ~ What It's Like

"God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
Cuz then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like."


Limp Bizkit (yea, I know -.-) ~ Re-arranged

"I'd love to be the one to disappoint you when I don't fall down."


Tim Minchin ~ Not Perfect

"This is my body and I live in it
It's 31 and 6 months old
It's changed a lot since it was new
It's done stuff it wasn't built to do
I often try to fill it up with wine

And the weirdest thing about it
I spend so much time hating it
But it never says a bad word about me
This is my body and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect, but it's mine."


Tupac Ft. B.I.G ~ Runnin'

"You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see, when there ain't nothin' in sight?
Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?"


Bob Marley ~ Could You Be Loved?

"Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
Ay, in the darkness there must come out to light.

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)."


Black Eyed Peas ~ Where Is The Love? (adding bits 'n pieces from song)

"I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma

.......

Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?

.......

As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care 'bout money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria.

.......

Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding leading lives away from unity."

Atmosphere - Dreamer wrote:She got a condition of the heart
A heart condition
So as a kid she had to adapt to smarter living
Not much room to rebel because of health
no drugs, no booze, just kiss and tell
well known on the scene
jailbait queen
had the first baby barely eighteen
father of the child was after one thing
when the daughter came the dad was unseen
it don’t matter he aint got a job
so she had to go to work and leave the baby with her mom
second shift till the neck is stiff
but she worked it and built her own nest to live
soon after that baby’s daddy slash lazy bum
with no cash he want to come over and crash
he want to play his part
so she let him move in to that garden level apartment
she knew better—she did it anyways
explain better when your trying to see some better days
the suns up catch those rays
butterfly style who’s got chase

chorus:
but she still dreams after she woke
tight hold on that hope
sometimes it can seem so cold
do what you got to do to cope

X2

Two years later two months pregnant
Same daddy same broke ass situation
This time the doc said that her heart might break
Praise god that the job got her health benefits straight
she believes in the right to choice
but she loves baby girl and she wants a boy
makes more now a days on the day shift
balance that with night class
take some time and space and make it all fit
the apartment they now live in is overcrowded
raised her voice and made her point
told that boy go get employed
he put on his best shirt
said he wasn’t coming back till he gets work
she knew what that part meant
so she swept every piece out that apartment
peace out keep out
take the scenic route
rather only have to feed three mouths
she adapts to everything know
and nobody asks what she dreams out

Chorus X 2

Little girl was the first reason to breathe
And the little man was the first man she believed in
She gotta live right and do right by self
She do for self she don’t want your help
Afraid of being alone
But fear aint enough to knock her off of that stone
Gonna make that home her home
with or without a man that she can call her own
big boss at work is anxious
continues to hand her the wrong advances
she passes the test
she knew the answers
quit the job to go take a chance
with life
this is life we all scream
while we pray for dollars and we work for change
its all the same, we all struggle
sometimes you gotta say **** you
when you smile and she doesn’t return it
give her room and don’t disturb it
if it makes it hurt less to curse and fight
go ahead and hate the world girl you’ve earned the right
