Beat Street Breakdown, rrrrhaa!
Beat Street, the king of the beat
You see him rockin that beat from across the street
And huh-huh, Beat Street is a lesson, too
Because ah, you can't let the streets beat you
Uh!
Well, a picture can express a thousand words
To describe all the beauty of life you give
And if the world was yours to do over
I know you'd paint a better place to live
Where the colors would swirl
And the boys and girls can grow in peace and harmony
And where murals stand on walls so grand
As far as the eyes are able to see, ha
I never knew art till I saw your face
And there'll never be one to take your place
Cause each and every time you touch a spraypaint can
Michaelangelo's soul controls your hands
Then serenades of blue and red
And the beauty of the rainbow fills your head
Crescendo colors playin tunes
Man why oh why you'd have to die so soon?
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Where the good die young is all thy must
Cause as life must live death must die
And the tears shall fall from the living eye
Huh, teardrops fall for the state of mind
Of the beautiful lady that you left behind
In love and alone, but now you're dead
And she still can't get you out of her head, huh
More tears fall for all you've done
Tried to be a good father to your only son
But now who's gonna make sure that he's fed
Put a shirt on his back and a roof over head?
Tell me who's gonna dream the impossible dream
Of the beautiful cities and the island's ( ? )
When your works of art brought into being
All that the ghetto stopped you from seeing
Bums on the sidewalk, garbage in the street
Abandoned buildings, bricks of concrete
The ladies on the corner are sellin that body
And everybody wants a part in that party
I'm hangin out tough rockin late at night
Runnin wild in the town of the neon lights
You either play some ball or stand in the hall
Huh, you gotta make somethin out of nothin at all
I'm sittin in the classroom learnin the rules
And it says you can't do graffiti in school
That can't be wrong in the hallowed hall
So my notebook turned into a big wall
The heart of a lion and the courage of three
And the mind of a man much wiser than me
You're the soul of the brother who won't come back
Who died in my arms on the railroad track
Cause I'm caught in a rat race lookin for my own space
It gotta be a better place for you and me
There's pie in the sky and a eye for a eye
Some people gotta die just to be free
You search for justice and what do you find?
You find just us on the unemployment line
You find just us sweatin from dawn to dusk
There's no justice, it's, huh, just us
Still life urban masterpiece
Your trademark was written on trains and walls
A million dollar gift only God released
Huh, and yet you got killed for nothin at all
So after this there'll be no more hard time
No more bad times and no more pain
No more chump change, none of that bull
Just movies, museums and the hall of fame
So all you hip-hops, get on up
And let's take it to the top where we belong
Cause the age of the Beat Street wave is here
Everybody let's sing along, now come on
And say hooo (Hooo)
Say hooo (Hooo)
And to let me know I'm rockin the microphone
Everybody say Ramon (Ramon)
Ramon (Ramon)
Rrrrhaa!
A newspaper burns in the sand
And the headlines say 'Man Destroys Man'
Extra extra, read all the bad news
On the war for peace that everybody would lose
The rise and fall, the last great empire
The sound of the whole world caught on fire
The ruthless struggle, the desperate gamble
The game that left the whole world in shambles
The cheats, the lies, the alibies
And the foolish attempts to conquer the sky
Lost in space, and what is it worth?
Huh, the President just forgot about Earth
Spendin multi-billions and maybe even trillions
The cost of weapons ran in the zillions
There's gold in the street and there's diamond under feet
And the children in Africa don't even eat
Flies on their faces, they're livin like mice
And their houses even make the ghetto look nice
Huh, the water tastes funny, it's forever too sunny
And they work all month and don't make no money
A fight for power, a nuclear shower
A people shout out in the darkest hour
Sights unseen and voices unheard
And finally the bomb gets the last word
Christians killed Muslims and Germans killed Jews
And everybody's bodies are used and abused
Huh, minds are poisoned and souls are polluted
Superiority complex is deep rooted
Leeches and lices, and people got prices
Egomaniacs control the self-righteous
Nothin is sacred and nothin is pure
So the revelation of death is our cure
Peoples in terror, the leaders made a error
And now they can't even look in the mirror
Cause we gotta suffer while things get rougher
And that's the reason why we got to get tougher
So learn from the past and work for the future
And don't be a slave to no computer
Cause the children of Man inherit the land
And the future of the world is in your hands
So just throw your hands in the air
And wave em like you just don't care
And if you believe that you're the future
Scream it out and say oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Rrrrhaa!
Beat Street Breakdown, rrrrhaa!

"this cant be true" on aim i am not childish enough to send that
out it runs on its own if your on my buddly list since i clicked the
stupid link-- so sorry if you got a IM from me like that because it
really made me mad-
but i guess im over it--
ok so yeah- Mexico was cool! Maria and i had a great time, but we are
very glad to be home--- so yeah thank all of you that came for coming,
and thank you so much for the gifts-- they mean the most-- HAHA
jk- see you all later-

| Alyssa is now 4 months and 4 days old- she can use her hands alot more
now, she still doesnt seem to have FULL control of them but she can
hold her bottle for a little while, she can really use them when she
wants something, if she wants to hold or grab something she manages to
reach out and grab whatever it is she is looking at-- she is sleeping
through the night every night and we started to feed her rice cereal..
its funny how she gets it all over her face!
maria And i went to Splash town for the discount tire company picnic it
was alot of fun! I talked maria into going down a few slides with
me it was worth it!
Our wedding is coming up ! along with my birthday even sooner!--- I
just want to adress one issue-- I wish i could have had the option of
inviting everybody i knew and met in life to come to my wedding but i
couldnt, So please understand that if you were not invited it wasnt
because im not cool with you- and its not that i feel some people are
more deserving, but it was important not to make the wedding too big,
and maria and I had to invite people that have been close to use within
the past few years-- You guys are all our homies-- i know the
vietnamese culture always tends to invite the whole church , i
personally am not inviting the whole church- yes there are people
from church i am inviting, but we are keeping it fairly small- so once
again please understand-- you all that are invited are all on a list
and invitations will be sent out in the next 2or 3 weeks-- so MUCH LOVE
to everybody no hard feelings please!!!!!
so now that thats off my chest... my integra is still in the body
shop-- sitting in one lonley spot surrounded by lots of dust.... it
seems like it will never get out of there... but i dont know i cant
even be sure anymore-- id like to say its going to be out before june
3rd but at this rate it will be there for 10 years... ive got a few
parts for it waiting to install.. but now i dont know if i can put them
on since other people cant come through with other parts before the
show... its causing me alot of frustration especially at work--
everybody thinks im a liar and i hate it!!! you guys dont understand
what its like to be called a liar to your face everyday when its not
true...
I know i talk alot and nothing seems to be getting done, but dang guys
im being honest its just alot of bad luck i guess, people kept saying
they would do my car and things kept happening, from people getting
deployed to finding out people are really full of it, to people that
really didnt help to here, where im having to do all the work myself,
and its hard work-- i cant expect people to help me all the time, but
what can i expect when people tell me they will come through, i can
only take their word for it right?.. all im trying to say is that my
car will get done... I dont know when but it will-- and its draining
energy from my family time, and quality time i could be with maria and
alyssa--- even when im not working on the car physicly im still like
stressed out about it and its driving me more nuts than it is giving me
any hope...im really down about the car... im not gonna lie.... i feel
so dumb getting rides to work and everbody at works like "where is your
car,"with this dang smirk on their face like oh your so full of crap
and you know it.... but im
not--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ahh so please pray that i can freaking get this over with, because i
dont want it draining me, and my family....just typing about it is
getting me all worked up agian--
its time for bed..... im out-- peace

| yeah SO alyssa is 6 weeks old now and some days, She is growing pretty fast, Its nuts! I have a short fuse which sucks i never thought i would, i get really frustrated really easy, its hard to communicate with the baby, sometimes she just doesnt make sense... im not dumb i know she is just a baby, but that doesnt change the immediate feeling i get when she starts crying and squirming and nothing i do works... it makes me mad-
i feel like a bad father or something when i get mad, and it doesnt make maria very happy either... i hope that it changes with time, i feel no motivation to try harder it just makes me wish she could talk more- its alot easier to do something that comes with instructions, she has her own personallity and her own choices, she can do whatever she wants no matter what, even if i take all the steps in order- its a crazy concept-- or a crazy reality rather-- maria seems to calm the baby so easy... somebody needs to calm me, cus im gonna go crazy lol-
but i do love them both- Its just hard- especially at night when i want to sleep... its hard not to be selfish at a time like this, all i want is sleep i mean i guess what parent doesnt?
I have come to decide the father and mother have to have 2 rolls, I mean alteast shes paitient where im not, and sometimes i suprisingly can be paitient when shes not, but then there is those times when we are both tired, and worn out and it makes us bitter, and thats when i look at Alyssa and she sits there innocent with her eyes open just kinda looking around... i dont hate her in any way, i dont regret her in any way, Its just going to be some hard times and some lessons to learn for me, I thank God for maria and Alyssa you teach me so much- and i love you both-
see you all later-
