look at us we're beautiful
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job you fuckin' slob" is all he replied
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked daddies dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start
I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
THATS A GREAT SONG. ONE THAT REALLY SOBERS YOU UP. YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN? i hear that song and all i can think about each time is how incredibly lucky i am. sure there are the things that can get me down every once and a while. but then i look around and i see all these smiling faces that are always there. i see all of these supportive people who i can run too and seek shelter from from the storm. i see people who love and care.
so what hav ei been up to this fine vacation!? I WENT TO LEXINGTON WITH MYBE! you see she called me up and asked if i wanted to go to these reinactments with her and of course i said yes... turns out they were leaving in, what, an hour and a half!? so i packed and such and then i spent the night and the whole day with them last year, along with be's aunt, cheryl, i think thats how you spell it. but anyway, we were up till about 1:30 sunday night/satruday morning. we went to paul reveres ride reinactment at 11 pm on sunday and that was GREAT. it was kind of chilly, but not toooo bad. we walked to john hancocks house and paul revere rode up on his big horse followed by william daws and we watched general clark (i think he was a general) and sam adams and paul revere and john hancock talk about what their next plan of action was going to be, and then watched teh woman of the house (clarks sister and wife) fret about who was going to take care of them. but anyway, we got back real late, or shuold i say early hahha, and went to bed for about 3 hours.
then we awoke at 4 Am on monday morning. HAPPY PATRIOTS DAY! what better place to celebrate such an event other than the exact location where we gained our independance from britian?! well, we arrived at the lexington green by 4:15 and sat and talked and listened to this guy tell us about histroy which was actually quite interesting considering be and i knew everything and could be like "oh yeah i remember simms telling us about that" while the sun rose up and the sky turned from black to blue to grey to blue.
i'll tell you more in detail about the action later, my moms brushing my hair and it feels good. haha.
