Bad End Of The Stick

Had To Be Me Right?

I'm Always Hearing You Was So Great

"He Was Not Like That"

I Hear You Was The Best Man To People

You Raised Some To Be The Man They're Today

Great Stuff

Ha

Why'd I Get The Bad End Of The Stick?

So Great To So Many People

You Wanted Somebody Else?

I Mean My Bad

Right?

Maybe If I Was Another Person

I'd Get To See Why Everybody Says What They Say

Funny Thing Is I Can't

This Is Me

Accept Me Or Leave Me Alone

Why Do People Get Sad When I Don't Bring You Up?

Why Do People Get Sad We Don't Talk?

When Me And Somebody Either

Don't Get Along

Our Communication Isn't Right

And It's Not Getting Any Better

I Leave It Where It's At

No Love Lost

Just Know It Won't be Fixed

No Matter Who You Are

I'm Very Firm On That

Everybody Thinks I'm Joking

Until It Happens

Why You Want To Change My Mind?

Why You Didn't Believe Me Before?

You Think I Just Want To Hear Myself Talk?

Too Extra Or Some?

I Dig It

"He Raised Me Better Than My Own Pops"

That's Suppose To Make Me Feel Good?

What About Me?

Nobody Knows Why?

Only That I Should What?

Go Head Say It

I Always Forgive But One Thing I'll Never Do

Is Forget

Why?

Why Would I Let Someone

Back The Same Way They Came In?

Love Them From A Distance And Move On

Guess My Motto Only Works For Me

If You Get The Bad End Of The Stick

Most Times

It's Always More Out There For You

That Make Sense?

Why Cry Over Spilled Milk When It's Still

Milk In The Jug

Better Yet It's More Milk Out there

Right?

Milk Meaning Love?

Just Want To Make Sure You Following

Never Trip On What You Can't Control

Never Feel Bad On Anything That Doesn't Pan Out

How You Want It

Keep Living

We Don't Go Backwards Only Forward Right?

Like I Said No Love Lost

I Carve Smiles On People Faces

I Know I Fill There Heart With Love

I Know It's Hate In There Too

But That's Life

You Going To Accept Me

Or Have Deception?

Choice Is Always Yours

The Love I Have For Myself Outweighs

Every Ounce Of Love Combined That's For Me

I Get Why People Tell Me

"Everybody Doesn't Have That Mindset About Them"

My Facial Expressions Tell It

Confusion Is An Understatement

Why Don't You Guys Have It?

Who Knows Right

I Shouldn't Have Got The Bad End Of The Stick

But Life Happened That Way

Member When Grandma Died And I Was Crying My Eyes Out?

Ha

Big Bro Had To Comfort Me And You Was Right Next To Me

Telling Him To To Give Me A Hug

Why Didn't You?

My Baby Love Just Passed Away

Who Was There?

You See The Pattern?

Maybe I'm Not Good Enough

For You To Be Around

Perfect Timing Though Because My Life Has Been

Top Tier

This Thing Called Inner Peace?

Everybody Doesn't Have It And It Shows

Where We Left It At

That's Where It Stays Forever

I Say It With A Smile On My Face

I May Repeat Myself But It's The Same Energy

Every Time

Member Those Last Words You Told My Mom Thru Text?

Engraved In Me Forever

Along With Everything Else

Sorry You Couldn't Have The Child You

Wanted To Pick

Least You Gave Me Something Most Kids Do Get Though

The Worst End Of The Stick

Better Yet The Bad End Of The Stick
