My friends, learning, loving, laughing, dancing, walking the streets of my barrio LES, enjoying the smell of wet dirt and fresh cut grass in parks, seeing beautiful things, natural beauty, exploring my city like i just woke up from a concusion and cant remember, city art... swimming, running, jumping, did i mention laughing? crying, smiling, holding hands, getting older (so scary!), getting wiser, getting flyer, being a dork....
someone who is smart, successful, happy...and not arrogant. the excitingly bad and soothingly good...
yes please. There's this thing now, it's driving me wild, I gotta see what's up before it gets me down...now it's not a mystery...it's everything. Had a body, had a body that u can't pay for. so obsessed with her body and clothes. doing all she can for a man and a baby, driving herself crazy. rock a fur in the summer so somebody would pet it. pathetic on his myspace page, half naked. its the same what they do for fame and to be respected, yo u coulda got it if u didnt stress it! its this thing now, its driving me wild, i gotta see what's up before it gets me down. now its not a mystery, its everything. they was one of them couples, people said they was the it. relationships could be dead but look live to us, i guess we all been through it, where we try too much, loosing yourself and your mind and stuff but love is not a mystery, it's everything.
